Wearing a polka-dot jacquard black suit jacket with a white shirt embroidered with bee jewels, the icon with his hair combed into an adult appearance slowly stepped onto the stage.
He walked under the spotlight, and many audience members screamed.
Leng Shao showed an unruly smile at the corner of his mouth. Today, he specially asked Mr. Tony to have his look adjusted. The moment he put on the suit, he was shocked by his handsomeness.
Walking under the spotlight, icon tasted the thrill of 'the world is focusing on you' for the first time.
But when he saw the handsome man with the BMW logo printed on his clothes on the left side of the stage, the throbbing in his heart disappeared without a trace.
wdnmd, is he more handsome than me in team uniform?
Is there any reason?
Icon was full of resentment and stepped up to the stage.
"Now, please icon draw the four teams from pool one..."
Leng Shao meticulously followed the instructions to complete his lottery work.
The group template for the knockout round had already appeared on the big screen at the scene. There were two team boxes in each of the four positions on the upper left, lower left, lower right, upper right, and lower right. The summoner trophy in the middle was shining brightly.
The first one he drew was RNG from the all-China class.
The black and gold RNG team logo is placed in the upper left corner!
The next drawn quota will determine the division of the four teams in Pool 1.
Many spectators held their breath and focused their eyes on the black ball in Leng Shao's hand.
The sphere was slowly opened, and he smiled when he saw the color of the ribbon.
Reach out to smooth the ribbon and show it to the audience.
"Team WE is also divided into the upper half!"
Ren Dong said loudly.
The audience was not surprised. All three LPL teams have qualified, and there will always be two teams who will be divided into the same half.
The two teams in the lower half have been determined, and Leng Shao draws out the ribbons printed with SKT and YM in turn.
"Next, please move to the No. 2 pool and draw the other four teams."
Lin Ran looked at Leng Shao's palm, and couldn't help being a little excited.
The first team drawn from Pool 2, MSF!
The Vicious Rabbit logo with red eyepatch is printed directly below RNG.
"The two contestant representatives, please leave the stage hand in hand!"
E-sports courtesan Shi Senming grinned and shook hands with Europe's new king of France, POE, and the two walked away from the stage holding hands.
Leng Shao's second drawn team is Baidu Cloud C9!
"C9 will be with WE..." Aftershock realized his mistake and quickly changed his words, "Sorry, WE and C9 were in the same group before, and according to the rules, C9 and WE will not be in the same half."
"So their opponent is the SKT team in the lower half!"
Lingdan wanted to go forward to shake hands, but was pulled back abruptly, watching Emperor Jian go to shake hands with his new love, Li Zaiwan.
The two left the stage holding hands like elementary school students on a spring outing.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Leng drew out the third black ball from Pool 2.
The unpretentious blue and white shield appeared in the audience's field of vision!
"SSG team, they will challenge WE in the quarterfinals!"
Accompanied by the applause of the audience, Samsung's top laner Cuvee showed a strange expression that was half smiling and half crying.
When he held Zero Dan's hands, it felt like he was about to cry.
At this moment, there is still a team that has not been drawn, but the audience can no longer control the emotions gushing out of their hearts, and let out bursts of screams.
There are only two players in team uniforms left on the stage.
Lin Ran and Geruila draw lots without any suspense!
"The last black ball, Dragon Ball Team!" Yu Zhen saw that the last position was filled with the Dragon Ball team logo, "They are going to challenge, YM!"
Amidst the cheers of the audience, Lin Ran stretched out his right hand to shake Greila.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The two communicated in simple English, turned and left the stage.
So far, the results of the S7 knockout draw have been settled!
Top half: RNG vs. MSF
WE vs. SSG
Bottom half: SKT vs. C9
YM vs. LZ
"Heroes pursue legends, legends will never go out," Ren Dong amplified his voice, "The Wuhan stage of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals has come to an end."
"Summoners, see you in Guangzhou in a week!"
Chapter 346: Quarterfinals, Hello Guangzhou!
Lin Ran bid farewell to Geruila in the background, and returned to the YM lounge alone.
The previously cheerful atmosphere in the lounge was shattered by the result of the lottery. The white crescent was sorting out the Dragon Ball information, and the team members frowned and were discussing something in a low voice.
"Let's go." Guo Hao stood up and said loudly, "Everyone have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we will leave for Guangzhou!"
Several team members agreed casually and walked out.
Lin Ran took his backpack from Su Cheng, followed his teammates and left Wuhan Sports Center.
It was already 10:[-] p.m., and the stadium was brightly lit under the night, exuding a warm and comfortable orange light.
He looked back at the arena for the last time, half a month's journey, here has carried the excitement of countless players when they got their wish or the loneliness when they left the field sadly.
But with the end of the group stage, everything has become a thing of the past, the frustrated left with regret, and the other 8 teams will go to Guangzhou with this sad or sweet memory.
Lin Ran closed the car door, the black window slowly rose, and Wuhan Sports Center slowly disappeared from his sight.
Su Cheng was still communicating with Bai Yueya about the Dragon Ball video, Lin Ran couldn't find anyone to chat with, so he simply took out his phone and continued to watch the forum.
[One thing to say, this year's signing is really good! 】
[Prediction post, RNG swept Rabbit 3:0, WE defeated Samsung 3:2, SKT took Baidu Cloud lightly, YM crushed Dragon Ball! 】
[Top 4 and 3 LPL?Are you talking b words in a dream or am I drifting away? 】
YM's victory and qualifying did not cause any splashes in the forum, which was in line with everyone's expectations, and naturally there was no way for them to post their experiences.
To be honest, their 6-game winning streak in the group stage is not as much as 5 wins and 1 loss on the forum. Once they lose, the forum is full of discussions, such as "rational discussion, don't brag, whether there is something wrong with JKL's thinking, and it will be easy to change to Uzi Winning" meeting triggering post.
Now everyone is discussing the results of the draw, looking forward to the top 8 and even discussing the finals and the championship.
[Aside from other things, RNG is definitely going to enter the finals in the first half, what kind of rotten fish is Samsung? 】
[Why can't it be WE?There are few bullying 60e fans, right?How did you abuse your R in the spring semi-finals? You forgot, right? 】
[I think the lottery result is really mediocre. YM is very difficult in the second half. Dragon Ball and SKT are not easy to play, so they won't really fall in the middle, right? 】
[Bad sign?Hehe, why is it a good draw? I just hope that YM will play out SKT and Dragon Ball, and remove some obstacles for RNG. Of course, it would be better to win.If it loses and RNG wins and wins the championship, then YM has one-third of the credit for this championship. As for WE, two words, let it happen.I am an RNG fan, a rational fan]
During the 5-kilometer drive to the Peninsula Hotel, Lin Ran briefly browsed through the posts on the forum.
The audience generally believed that there was no suspense in the first half, and that RNG would steadily enter the semi-finals, while WE and Samsung were both the No. 3 seeds in their respective divisions, and they would have a tough fight, but in the end they all believed that the two teams in the upper half of the LPL would lock in A final spot.
On the contrary, YM, who was regarded as the biggest favorite to win the championship before the game, had a difficult road to advancement.
The reason is simple, the teams in the same half of the region are Dragon Ball, SKT and C9.
Needless to say about Dragon Ball, as the champions of the LCK Summer Split, their strength lies here. Although they qualified second in the group, no one will underestimate them.
And SKT, whose performance has been ups and downs this year, is the world's top team second only to YM in the eyes of many viewers.
Never underestimate the heart of a championship. This sentence applies not only to basketball, but also to e-sports.
SKT is undoubtedly a formidable opponent. Lee Sang-hyuk has entered the World Championship 3 times in his career, leading the team with 2 championships and 1 Asian championship.
No one knows to what extent SKT, which is known for its stable offense and defense, will develop the version during the one-month journey to the global finals.
YM, SKT and LZ, the three sharks swim in the lower half, and finally compete for a place in the finals. The cruel competition can be imagined.
Lin Ran also thought the same way, Dragon Ball could be their opponent in the quarter-finals, it is indeed a bit outrageous.
Before the start of the global finals, everyone in YM felt that they would not meet Dragon Ball and SKT until at least the semifinals.
However, the quarter-finals and the semi-finals met the South Korean team, and the intensity was too high.
This is also the reason why everyone in YM looked serious after the lottery ceremony. This year's battle is really difficult.
At this time, the evening rush hour was already past, and the BMW car that downloaded YM people returned to the hotel within a quarter of an hour without traffic jams.
"After taking a shower tonight, you should pack your luggage while you are still awake, especially Jack and Lin Weixiang... We will catch the plane together tomorrow afternoon. You two should set the alarm clock in advance so you don't miss your business."
There are not many night owls in the team on weekdays. Lin Ran is used to going to bed early and getting up early, and Xiaotian's schedule has also been advanced a lot. With the addition of Liu Qingsong who puts on a mask to sleep and beauty sleep, only Lin Weixiang and Jack are left in YM. A monster with upside down day and night.
Downstairs in the hotel, the team disbanded temporarily. Jack, who was hungry again, took the prophet and Jin Gong to the hotel restaurant. Lin Weixiang handed the backpack to Liu Qingsong, and planned to jog around the hotel.
Arriving at the 7th floor, everyone in YM left the elevator and said goodbye to each other and returned to their own rooms. Lin Ran hooked Su Cheng's soft palm and came to the corner of the corridor to enjoy their few moments of intimacy.
"Aren't you going to have a meeting tonight?" Lin Ran asked in a low voice.
"No, there is only a routine meeting before departure tomorrow afternoon." Su Cheng didn't know why Lin Ran lowered his voice, but he still whispered in his ear, "I have nothing to do tonight."
The volume was too low, and the sound of breathing mixed with warm breath hit Lin Ran's ear.
Although Lin Ran knew that what Su Cheng wanted to express was simply that he had a lot of time tonight, but he couldn't help but think wrongly, and there was a bit of charming charm in every way of thinking.
Lin Ran leaned over and touched her cheek, and saw that the fair skin touched by his lips was stained with a little red plum, and the charming flame in his heart not only did not disappear, but burned more and more intensely.
The girl huddled in the corner had weak legs, her fingers were tightly clutching the hem of his team uniform, and the red plums were smudged on her cheeks little by little.
Within a moment, Su Cheng's cheeks were ablaze with burning clouds.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ran's heart was in turmoil, and Su Cheng's crescent-like drooping eyebrows looked cute in his eyes.
He looked at the girl's thin eyelashes trembling slightly, and knew that the girl's heart was probably in a mess. The two of them were skin to skin, and the distance was so close that they could hear each other's heartbeat.
Lin Ran desperately suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
This is the World Championship, so I can't think about other things... Su Cheng standing here can't be taken away by others, but the summoner trophy won't wait for him.
Abstinence is very necessary at this time, Lin Ran doesn't want to be like Kandy playing with dark circles every day, doing some tricks before the game will definitely affect his competitive state.
After closing his eyes and taking two deep breaths, Lin Ran looked at Su Cheng with clarity.
He stretched out his hand to rub his girlfriend's small and delicate earlobe, kneading Su Cheng's ear until it was as rosy as her cheek before letting go.
Su Cheng's self-control is also quite strong. She rested her palm on Lin Ran's chest to keep a certain distance between herself and her boyfriend, and regained her composure in her watery eyes.
"What's for dinner tomorrow morning?" She glanced at Lin Ran's face and immediately looked away, fearing that she would fall into it again and be unable to extricate herself.
"Hot and dry noodles?" Lin Ran took it smoothly and changed the topic, "It's reasonable to have another meal before leaving, right?"
Su Cheng's arm supporting Lin Ran's chest let go, and took her boyfriend's hand to leave the corner of the corridor.
"You go to bed early tonight, you don't need to look through the video, the tactics against Dragon Ball will be discussed when we go to Guangzhou..." Su Cheng brought the topic back to work, and now the only lingering atmosphere between the two completely dissipated nowhere to be seen.
Lin Ran nodded to show that he understood, and walked to his room to say goodbye to Su Cheng. He had put the room card in his backpack, so Lin Ran could only lower his head and feel his neck sinking suddenly.
Lin Ran's first reaction was that Jin Gong was coming.
He subconsciously shrank his head before realizing something was wrong.
The arm hanging around his neck was as warm and white as jade, clearly it was Su Cheng.
As soon as Lin Ran turned around, he bumped into Su Cheng's face head-on.
The touch is softer and warmer than cheeks.
As soon as he touched the point, he blushed for a moment, "What are you doing?"
"I still have to ask you." Su Cheng blushed, "I just want to touch the bone at the back of your neck..."
"Just touching?" Lin Ran corrected her mistake, "Your lips..."
