But FNC's lineup in this round was indeed strange. Caps experimentally played mid laner Verus, and Ou Cheng played Syndra in the bottom lane. The idea seemed reasonable, but it still looked like a mess on the scene.

.

Because of this loss, FNC gave up its number one seed status to AFS.

At this point, the Busan group stage has finally come to an end.

The qualifying teams in the four groups are as follows:

Group A:G

Group B:AFS,FNC

Group C:KT,IG

Group D:YM,G2

The night the game ended.

Water friends from all major competition areas are also excitedly discussing the next quarter-finals of the World Championship.

The North American audience was excited. They originally had no expectations after seeing TSM in the top 16, but suddenly discovered that C9 actually stole the number one seed.

In this way, at least in the first round, they can avoid running into strong teams such as YM, KT, and AFS. If they run into G2 and FNC, there is still hope for a fight.

As long as we can pass the first level, who knows what will happen to the top four next?

Maybe both KT and YM will be upset.

North American audiences unfolded beautiful fantasies.

On the other side, the European division is praying collectively, hoping that they will not encounter YM or KT.

The official blogs of G2 and FNC were continuously updated. They took the initiative to tweet RNG and expressed their hope that the top four could meet. However, they were ridiculed by royal fans on the Internet.

"Do you really think RNG is a soft persimmon? Anyone who offends our LRL will be punished no matter how far away!"

In China, the most focused topic of discussion is naturally the possibility of a civil war in the top eight LPL.

Commentators from all walks of life posted their prayers on blogs, hoping that the draw the day after tomorrow would be better and try not to cause a civil war in the quarterfinals.

In addition to the draw for the quarter-finals, the biggest topic tonight is naturally the elimination of former world champion GenG in the top 16.

After the Busan group stage ended, GenG's official Twitter also released an update.

Three-star players such as King Chi, Chief An, and Khan were walking in the streets of Busan wearing slippers with their backs forlorn, announcing the end of this year's World Championship.

[It’s so tragic, I really didn’t expect that Samsung wouldn’t even make it to the top eight this year]

[This is probably the benefit of hosting the World Championship at home. Other teams have to fly after they are eliminated, but GenG just walks home, woo woo woo]

…

October 20th.

In the Busan stadium, under the attention of the whole world, the knockout draw ceremony officially began!

Emperor Pao Xiao, who had changed into a suit, took the stage again. After summarizing the group matches, he then introduced the representatives of each team participating in the draw ceremony.

"YM JKD!"

"RNG Uzi!"

"IG Rookie!"

Players wearing their respective team uniforms were arranged on both sides of the stage in order of ranking.

When the camera showed Su Chen, there was a commotion at the scene.

He performed extremely well in this group stage and gained a group of new fans.

After the introduction by Emperor Pao Xiao, Wach, the guest of the knockout draw, walked quickly to the glass basin with four balls with a smile on his face, and put his hand in under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

The draw rules for the quarter-finals knockout rounds are to divide the eight teams into left and right half zones, and draw lots in two rounds according to the principle of different zones in the same group.

In the first round, the No. 1 seed will be drawn to determine the division, and in the second round, the No. 2 seed will be drawn.

Soon, Watch took out the first ball. After taking it apart, the team name "KT" was written on the note.

The camera also showed the player representative Deft, who had no expression.

"The next draw is the key. It determines whether YM will be in the same half zone as KT. I hope it won't be YM!" Miller prayed during the live broadcast.

Soon, Watch opened the note again, and there was a note with "AFS" written on it!

"Perfect! This pick is simply great! AFS has gone to the left half, so YM will not encounter KT in the semi-finals, and RNG should also be locked in the left half." Baby clapped excitedly.

Palm.

After YM and C9 are determined to be in the right half of the zone, RNG, which is also in Group A, can only go to the left half of the zone, so that they will not encounter YM at least in the quarterfinals.

Absolutely a good sign!

Next, Watch drew a prize again, and this time he drew out YM's note.

The camera was shown to Su Chen, and YM was also assigned to the first position in the right half of the big screen behind him.

There is no suspense about the remaining C9, which is at the bottom of the right half.

The draw in the first round determined that RNG would not meet YM. The next round was to see whether IG would collide with YM.

Watch walked a few steps and came to the second lottery pool. He grabbed a ball and opened it, and a note from G2 was written on it!

Ah P, who was still smiling, instantly froze in place.

This indicates that they will hit KT in the quarterfinals!

Immediately afterwards, the second one came out, RNG!

"Playing AFS? Although it was expected, it's okay." Miller said with relief.

"The next draw is very critical. It must not be YM, please!" Wawa stared at the screen.

When Watch showed the note in his hand again, the entire LPL audience was completely excited!

"He won FNC! There is no more civil war in the LPL quarterfinals!" Miller almost jumped for joy.

Three LPL teams, even with two second seeds, actually avoided the quarterfinals civil war.

This is an absolutely great sign!

The remaining C9 is automatically assigned to IG.

"The only fly in the ointment is that if both YM and IG advance, they will meet in the semi-finals, but at least they are locked in the finals." Wawa said critically.

But the occurrence of such a situation also shows that the LPL has locked a spot in the finals, which is also a good thing.

In this way, the matchups for the entire quarterfinals knockout rounds were finally determined.

Left half: KT vs. G2, RNG vs. AFS

Right half: YM vs. FNC, C9 vs. IG
Chapter completed!
