With the official end of the LPL Summer Season, the four LPL teams competing in the S11 World Championship are now preparing for the latest round of intense preparations. On September 22, the group stage of the S11 World Championship, which has attracted much attention from players around the world, was officially released. In this grouping situation, DK and FPX met in Group A; EDG in Group B encountered T1 again; RNG was assigned to Group C.
What I have to say is that this time the group stage grouping is really fate. In Group A, with the two top teams, DK and FPX, it is no surprise that other teams have already announced that they missed the quarterfinals in advance. Not only that, DK and FPX almost all wanted to meet each other before the game. This time the grouping is just in line with the wishes of the two teams before the game. Whether it's Khan and Niu Bao's top lane match, or Doinb's mid lane match with ShowMaker, this is the focus of the game. It is worth mentioning that in the selection of S11 players by EG coach , Doinb overpowered ShowMaker to become the number one mid laner in the S11 World Championship.
In Group B, EDG once again qualified for the World Championship as the number one seed in the LPL region after four years. Coincidentally, this time the EDG team encountered the T1 team led by Faker again. Recall that in the S7 World Championship, EDG was also the No. 1 seed at the time, but EDG was tragically turned against the sky in the confrontation with SKT. This classic battle still makes people talk about it. Before the game, Shinco FMVP player Scout said in an interview that he wanted to meet T1 and beat Faker on the court. Now EDG meets T1 as he wants. I wonder if Scout, who had been on the SKT substitute this time, can defeat Faker to prove himself?
As for the RNG of Group C, neither PSG nor FNC poses too much threat to RNG. Among the top three teams in the LPL, the RNG grouping situation is also called the best grouping by the insiders.However, in the S11 list announced by RNG, due to the change of venue to Europe, RNG head coach Tabe will not be able to travel with the team if he returns to Hong Kong to apply for a visa after isolation. I don’t know if Taba’s remote assistance will help RNG advance smoothly this time?
I don’t know what do you think about the group division of the S11 World Championship?
