Teddy glanced at Li Xu beside him. "Hey! Li Xu, which team do you think we should face? "
"It doesn't matter who we face. Just hurry up with the lottery. I'm a little hungry."
Li Jiu was staring intently at the camera in front of him. Due to the lack of manpower, Coach Kim Jong Un had become a tool. He was responsible for broadcasting the entire process of the lot-drawing ceremony to SKT's official platform.
It was not just SKT. Many other teams chose to broadcast the process of the lottery.
It could be said that every year during the lottery, every team's reaction upon receiving the results of the lottery was very good. There were many face-slapping scenes.
Among them, the most famous was probably RNG from last year.
Last year's lottery for the quarterfinals had just started, and RNG's people in the waiting room had already started discussing who they would face in the finals.
When RNG confirmed that they had drawn G2 as their opponent, not only did the LPL commentator laugh out loud, but RNG's people in the waiting room also laughed out loud. They clapped their hands and celebrated their good draw. The atmosphere in the small waiting room was joyous.
Then, they laughed until they saw S9.
The more he laughed at that time, the more his face hurt later on.
Although RNG claimed that they had laughed because they had avoided a civil war, in eSports, anything one said after losing was wrong.
What the fans cared about was not what they were laughing about. They were just looking for an outlet to vent their anger.
Based on his performance against G2 in the quarterfinals, even if RNG was expressionless when he was looking at the lots, there was a high chance that he would be ridiculed. It was no wonder that he lost when he was playing against G2 with a solemn expression.
Reality was cruel.
SKT's official YouTube channel was already filled with fans. Other than the Korean fans, most of them were overseas fans. There was also a small group of fans from China who had climbed over the wall.
Li Xu had also opened SKT's official channel on his phone. He looked at the camera while lowering his head to look at his phone screen. It was as if he was using the camera as a mirror.
"Li Xu, move your face away, it's blocking the camera."
"Li Xu, you're so shameless. Stop taking the photo. Your face is so big that it's blocking the light."
"Xu Ge looks like me looking into the mirror in the elevator."
"Li Xu, you Guapi, don't you know how to play Dao Mei on purpose? This time, Dao Mei won't be able to play in the elimination round. "
"I want to see the assistant. Li Xu, go away."
"Why didn't I hear the assistant's voice? Li Xu, say something. "
… ….
"Stop yelling at her. Do you know why she didn't come to Berlin with us?"
Li Xu looked at the bullet screen on his phone and curled his lips. "Think about it, Fury is in charge of managing the image of the players in the club. If we were eliminated in the group stage, wouldn't it be a slap in the face to make such a big scene? Even if you want to brag, you should wait until the elimination round. What if we fail? "
Behind the camera, Jin Zhengxun was a little speechless.
That was the logic, but there was no need to say it out loud.
At this time, Clid pointed at the screen. "It's starting, let's guess who our opponent is. The result will decide who's going to treat us to supper. I'm guessing IG. "
Teddy: "Agreed, I'm guessing IG too."
Mata: "Seconded, I'm guessing G2."
Li Xu: "Then I'll pick SPY. This team's abbreviation is the same as ours, three letters."
The representatives of the eight teams were on the stage. The lucky draw guest was Mithy, the support player of LEC team Origen.
First, the two seeded teams, DWG and SKT, were drawn one after another. Both teams would be in the left half of the group, while the remaining two seeded teams, GRF and FPX, would be in the right half.
Before the finals, the teams in the left and right halves were destined not to meet each other.
The highlight was the drawing of the second seeded team. Mithy stirred in the glass jar for a while, and the defending champions, IG, were the first to be drawn.
Due to the same group rule, DWG and IG, who were both in Group D, could not be in the same group. Hence, IG's opponent was GRF, who was in the right half of the group.
Li Xu laughed. "Yo yo! GRF won the prize. Mai Bro, you've been in Seoul for the past few days? "
Teddy: "Who do you think will win?"
"How would I know? The GRF team isn't weak, but they're not strong either. Everyone has a chance. However, it's true that they got the worst draw for IG."
Li Xu paused for a while. "Oh right, those who guessed that we'll face IG are wrong."
The two Guapi did not reply. They looked like they were watching the television intently.
"I'm dying of laughter. Mai Bro is in Seoul."
"Li Xu, this old geezer. 23333."
"Mai Bro:???"
"I really wanted to see SKT fight IG. Looks like I won't get to see it."
"Promise me, no matter who we draw, don't laugh later."
"To the one above, I'm dying of laughter. Please don't laugh."
"We're professionals. We won't laugh unless we can't help it."
"Griffin has internal and external problems. He'll definitely be beaten by IG."
"I'm not optimistic about IG. Robot's Q skill has been strengthened. This is the ultimate nerf to Q's hot dance."
… ….
The second team to be drawn from the second seed pool was FNC. Since SKT was on the left side of Group C, FNC was automatically assigned to the right side of the pool. They would be facing FPX, the champion of LPL.
Thus, the four teams in the right half of Group C were determined. GRF, IG, FPX, and FNC were all vying for a spot in the finals.
"Go watch FNC's live stream. FNC's people look like they've won the jackpot."
"F * ck! FNC's people are laughing so arrogantly. "
"FPX: You're laughing at your mom."
"The second seed is looking down on the first seed. That's too much."
"FNC is like RNG from last year."
"They're too arrogant. Do they think they're strong just because they beat RNG? RNG is at the bottom of the three teams this year. "
"They're laughing all the way to S10."
"In the midst of laughter and laughter, Little Phoenix is very strong when he gets into the mood."
"Xu Ge, promise me: Don't laugh."
… ….
Mithy drew the third team, G2, from the second seed pool. They would face DWG in the left half of Group C, while SPY would face SKT.
Clid: "Wow! It's really SPY. Li Xu, you guessed right. "
Seeing the smile on Teddy's face, Lee Jiu slapped him on the back. "Shut up, don't laugh."
Teddy: "…"
Li Xu still remembered RNG being whipped for a whole year. He was determined not to let himself be on the world famous painting list.
"Li Xu, you're so funny. Shut up and don't laugh."
"Xu Ge is very smart. Don't laugh at this time. 23333."
"Li Xu also knows how to accumulate luck. Doesn't this guy usually lose luck crazily?"
"The power of metaphysics. Xu Ge has no choice but to bow his head."
"SPY is so pitiful. It's not easy for them to get the ghost card."
"SPY's support's expression is becoming serious."
"This round is the battle between Chief and Lucky King."
