All the qualifying teams for the “League of Legends” 2023 South Korea World Championship were finally determined after the LEC finals in the early morning of 9/11, and the group draws for the qualifying rounds were subsequently held.

This draw will be conducted by the well-known European top laner Odoamne, who will decide the fate of the teams in the finals. Judging from the draw, it is very likely that a PCS civil war will take place in the World Championship.

In the 2023 World Championship, due to the merger of the Turkish division TCL into the European LEC, the Oceania division LCO into the Pacific PCS, and the CIS division LCL, which is still mired in the quagmire of war, is still suspended, the number of qualifying teams has dropped sharply;

Therefore, this year’s play-in tournament has also adopted a new competition system. The fourth seeds from China and South Korea no longer need to compete in the play-in tournament. The number of participating teams in the play-in tournament has been reduced from 12 to 8. The number of places to advance to the main draw has also been significantly reduced, from four to two. .

This time, Riot will first divide the eight teams in the qualifying round into Tier 1 and Tier 2, and then divide the teams into two groups, A and B. Each group will adopt a BO3 double-elimination elimination to determine the top two teams in each group to advance to the qualifying round.

At this time, it is changed to BO5. The first place in Group A will play against the second place in Group B, and the first place in Group B will play against the second place in Group A. Only the two final winners will advance to the main match.

The source of the schedule is Leaguepedia

Due to the Tier classification, the first round of the competition will pit Tier 1 teams against Tier 2 teams. In the end, under the draw rules that the same division is not allowed to be in the same group (only PCS and VCS are affected), the draw groups are as follows:

Group A: VCS first seed GAM, CBLOL first seed LLL, PCS first seed PSG, LLA first seed R7

Group B: WQS (the fourth seed in Europe and America), VCS second seed TW, PCS second seed CFO, LJL first seed DFM

Although the teams in this qualifying round have been determined, there is still one qualification that has not yet been determined, that is, the newly added WQS qualification, which will pit the LEC fourth seed BDS against the LCS fourth seed GG.

The competition time is set on 10/9, the day before the qualifying round, and a BO5 battle will be held in LoLPARK, South Korea. The winner will advance, and the loser will go home.

Judging from the current situation, Group A is recognized as a relatively weak group, and the author believes that PSG, which is in Group A, has a high chance of advancing as the first in the group;

Since the CFO of Group B is in the same group as the fourth European and American team, which is the strongest in the qualifying round, it will be difficult for the CFO to win the first place in the group. It is more likely to be second in the group. Then the qualifying round will probably be staged again in the PCS finals. The two PCS teams will only One team can advance to the main draw.

The schedule of the World Championship Qualifiers will be from 10/9 to 10/15. After a four-day break, the World Championship Swiss format will be played for ten days, starting from 10/19 to 10/29, and then starting from 11/2 for eight days. Strong competition, until the finals on 11/19, will determine the strongest League of Legends team in 2023.

“League of Legends” PCS Summer Season ended yesterday with a six-week regular season. This season is different from the past. Because of the appearance of the God of God in person, it has added a lot of topicality. Today I want to bring you a review. Brilliant event.

God of Asia Domineering Debut

Speaking of this summer competition, I have to mention the domineering appearance of Tongshen. He and his HPS friends finally achieved a record of 7W11L. Rankings and wins have even improved.

Before the start of the season, even Tongshen fans may not have thought that Tongshen could win so many victories. Some netizens even predicted on PTT that Tongshen would not win a game, but in the end Tongshen used his strength to beat those who looked down on him in the face.

And Tongshen also has good results in terms of statistics, ranking first with four “borrowed” dragons, plus two MVPs, and the rest of the statistics can also be at the middle class level.

In terms of casting, Tong Shen used eight different heroes in total this season, among which Shiwani used the most six times, while Maokai won both games, and 50% of the games were respected and banned. He was the only PCS Maokai who did not Players who have lost. From various perspectives, although Tongshen is often nicknamed “Platinum Jungler”, it can definitely be called a qualified “professional jungler”.

If you want to ask why Tongshen can achieve such good results, I think it is due to the version. Currently, the popular junglers in META are tank heroes, not fighting type, and the benefits of anti-jungle are not too high. , so that Tongshen (34 years old), who has a lot of older ordinary players, can also use his own experience to change the direction of the battlefield without having to fight head-on with young people.

Almost every game of HPS this season is a classic, but the most eye-catching thing is the defeat of the top teams FAK and BYG in the previous stage, and the three steals of the last week, helping the team to counterattack DCG and keep the chance of advancing to the playoffs. A glimmer of life, now makes the audience excited, and adds another touch to the legendary career of Tongshen.

JT Resurrection Rising

In the spring split, JT scored the worst seventh place in team history. It was the first time since joining PCS that JT had no playoffs to play, and suspicions of fake games broke out during the offseason, which was once worrying.

However, due to the disbandment of IMP Taiwan, JT was lucky to welcome back the top laner Driver. Although he was not reused in JT before, this time he finally proved himself. He played dominance on the field and is one of the strongest top laners this season. .

The value of Driver is also his personal charm. Every time he wins, he will make a slanting move, which successfully boosts the morale of the team. The whole team plays tricks with him, revitalizes the previously lifeless JT, and gains different fans. The audience shouted, “How did the atmosphere of JT become so good?”

Driver celebrates with a money shooter after winning the final game of the season against DWT.

However, it is not correct to attribute the success to only one person. In fact, JT’s lineup in the spring was not bad. It was just that in addition to the mid laner Minji, the veteran jungler Lauva, the bottom lane team Bruce and Enso performed poorly, which made the results so bad. .

And JT was reborn in the summer split. In addition to Minji’s maintenance of high-end and top road reinforcements, the jungler Lauva also benefited from the version. He is good at using combat-type heroes, and he transformed into a thigh that won three MVPs;

In the end, both of them recovered from the bottom lane group. Although their lane-playing ability is not top-notch, they can always rely on experience to fight against strong opponents, and finally transformed into the most stable pillar of JT.

God’s punishment for CFOs

CFO supplemented the support ShiauC who used to play in the LPL in the summer split, which improved the bottom lane problem, and the state of JimieN in the middle lane also improved significantly, allowing them to maintain the top three in the first round, but they changed in the second round. To put it bluntly, the CFO once suffered a seven-game losing streak, and even the DWT of 0W15 at that time could not win, which made the CFO fall from the third place in 8W2L to the sixth place in 8W9L.

Perhaps because of the excessive pressure on the record, coach Achie lost control of DCG and scolded Rest for a minute in front of the camera. He finally won the IMP and won the extra match with FAK, finishing fifth. Zi Zi advances to the playoffs, but will start from the defeat.

Coincidentally, the CFO’s losing streak started after he defeated HPS, and because before the end of that match, Rest and Gemini took over the gods in Hedao BM, so after the losing streak, they were dubbed “God’s punishment” by netizens.

Fortunately, the CFO won the IMP on 8/6, and the players finally breathed a sigh of relief. They bowed in front of the camera one after another, and the whole team took a photo with Tongshen to reconcile. The two instigators then bluntly stated in the CFO’s weekly report, “God’s punishment is real! “, but Tongshen laughed and said, “There is no such thing as divine punishment.”

FAK slump

Although FAK’s original thigh YSKM returned to the LPL this year, after making up for EDG’s second team on the road, Solokill, they played better and better in the spring split, making it all the way to the finals before being defeated by PSG;

And they also strengthened their jungler holes on the eve of the summer split, ushered in LPL rookie jungler KennyChan, but the results showed a different trend, the first three games were all defeated, not only lost HPS, but also let FAK once again use the original The jungler, the weekly ranking in the final summer has not been higher than sixth.

After the first Wednesday losing streak, the FAK players looked serious.

The author believes that FAK’s poor performance is mainly related to the player’s state. In addition to the stable performance of the bottom lane and the old, the three players in the upper middle field feel a little uncomfortable in the META, which affects the performance of the game.

Among them, the most influential one is the jungler KennyChan. He is a player who is good at offensive heroes, but the current version is more functional heroes, which makes him unable to use his fists.

Fall of the IMP

IMP established the Taiwan branch at the beginning of the year, signed Driver, Mission and other well-known Taiwanese players, and cooperated with the Tainan City Government, and finally won the fourth place in the spring competition. The rapid disbandment forced IMP Singapore to hastily take over and absorb contestants from Singapore and Malaysia.

IMP is determined to use new and Malaysian players throughout the summer split. The only Taiwanese player on the list, Atlen, has a full bench. In the end, due to the large gap in strength, he has become a bag of experience for each team.

In the end, IMP had a dismal record of 2W16L in the whole summer season, and only won against the bottom DWT. It is the team with the biggest gap in spring and summer performance since the establishment of PCS. After experiencing such a serious incident, the prospects for next year can only be said at present. Very bad.

WP Amazing Journey

WP co-founded S9W with SEM9 at the beginning of this year. In the league, Filipino players were the main players. As a result, they only won three wins in the whole season and finished in the bottom 10th place. However, they made a big breakthrough in the summer. All the rest recruited Taiwanese players, and this move also yielded results, transforming into a competitive team.

In the fifth week, Relhia, who originally played in the far end of the Philippines, also specially came to Taipei to participate in training. After removing the interference of the Ping value of more than 70 during the Philippine game, his performance was completely different, helping WP in the fifth week. Winning all three games, the audience broke the stereotype that Southeast Asian players are not good. In the end, WP ended the journey in seventh place, and it was just a step away from qualifying for the playoffs.

This season’s PCS can be said to be different from the past. It is full of topics, the gap between the teams has also narrowed, and the game has become more exciting. In addition, the PCS organizers have also made “Outside PCS” and “Inside PCS” outside the field. “Wait… High-quality programs provide PCS viewers with more channels to get to know the players.

The most exciting playoffs of the summer split will start on 8/11. At that time, two strong teams from Oceania will come to challenge, namely CHF and TB. These eight teams will determine the two teams representing PCS to challenge the World Championship , Audiences who like the game should not miss it.
