2022 League of Legends Professional League competitions have all ended. So far, all teams participating in this year's global finals have been generated. In addition to the teams that go directly to the group stage, the teams participating in the finals in each competition have also been confirmed. The stage will officially begin on September 29. It is worth mentioning that after the CIS region withdrew from the global finals, Riot gave the quota to the LEC region, which also made LEC another quota to have four quotas after LPL and LCK.
However, after LEC added one more place, it also brought some changes to the draw in this year's Global Finals. The draw rules for the global finals have always been in different groups in the same competition area. However, after the LEC has added one more place this year, this year's lottery may be in the same district and group. Previously, the head coach of EG team once posted a message saying that he hopes to modify the lottery rules this year.
LOL official responded to this - modifying the lottery rules, but the official modification methods are relatively rough, which only makes MAD not enjoy the same area and group. After all, this quota for MAD is officially given for free, and those who have watched the game know that MAD can be said to be pure in the World Championship this year. Therefore, Riot's adjustment can be said to be very simple and crude, but it has a certain rationality. The LEC area has only three quotas, because the CIS area cannot participate, so we can get the fourth quota. In this way, we can also say that the team with the fourth quota is directly regarded as a team in the CIS area. .
However, for the head coach of the EG team, Riot's adjustment made him very embarrassed. Originally, the head coach of EG hoped that MAD could also enjoy the treatment of different groups in the same area, but now Riot has chosen the easiest method. Since it is because MAD has caused loopholes in the rules, it will directly make MAD lose the treatment of different groups in the same area. to fill in loopholes.
In fact, for different groups in the same area, Riot hopes that teams in each area will not meet directly in the group stage, which will lead to the civil war that will cause the division to suffer. If MAD can successfully advance to the group stage and be in the same group as other LEC regions, then this means that the LEC will have a civil war ahead of schedule. If a team cannot successfully break through the siege, it depends on the performance of the other three LEC teams, which also allows LEC to continue to maintain three places, which can also ensure the balance of the global finals.
In addition, during the finalists stage, this year's finalists have very high value, and it can even be said to be higher than in previous sessions. After all, among the 12 teams in the final, 5 teams have played MSI, and RNG has won three MSI championships. Some netizens even said that this year's finalists will be grouped with RNG, DRX, MAD, EG and the other two wild card divisions. In this way, the summoners are equivalent to watching the MSI group stage. No matter how kidding, the teams in the finalists this year are very strong, which also increases the difficulty of RNG's qualifying. If you want to qualify, RNG will have to show a better state, otherwise if you are eliminated in the finalists, you can be said to be completely nailed. The pillar of shame is on, this must not be what RNG wants to see.
