23rd Crown Draw Gemini
Regarding the grouping of this year's World Cup, the king thinks that the biggest feature may be unfair and cruel. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the overall strength of the two groups, A and B, is seriously unbalanced. Basically, the top teams recognized at present, such as Xi 'an WE, TS and AG Super Tournament, are all in Group A. Besides these strong teams, should we add two KPL teams? Yusanjia? Team? QGhappy and eStarPro.
Although the strength of these two teams has declined to varying degrees this year, they can be played from the second round of trials, which proves that they are better than other KPL teams and naturally better than KPLGT teams.
As for Group B, there are only three KPL teams? DYG, GAC TTG, XQ, VG, plus three KPLGT teams, GOG, MTG and EMC, the overall competitive pressure is obviously much smaller!
Born in sorrow and died in happiness?
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages, advantages and disadvantages. The four teams that have struggled in the brutal competition in Group A may be stronger and in a better competitive state. Tommy still has a point.
Memories of 20 19 World Cup in the glory of the king, Chongqing QGhappy, Shanghai EDG. M and NOVA, both in Group B, not only failed to show absolute overwhelming advantages, but also made a round trip with the KPLGT team and successfully integrated into the KPLGT division.
Although the two teams, EDMG and QGhappy, didn't lose the big competition in the BO3 of last year's World Cup, they still lost a lot in the small competition. The result is also obvious. All the teams in Group B were eliminated in the quarter-finals, and the final finals became a civil war in Group A!
In fact, for e-sports, being too comfortable is not a good thing for a team. Being in Group B, because the overall combat power is not strong, the KPL team can basically make steady progress as long as it doesn't wave. Therefore, Group B naturally lacks the momentum to cross the rubicon.
For Group B, if the three KPL teams basically don't wave, they will advance steadily, and another quota will be generated in MTG and GOG. If MTG starts with the team that has just won the KGL league championship, I personally think MTG has a better chance of promotion.
Gemini once said that at present, the KPLGT team is seriously polarized, and the head teams GOG and MTG are very strong, so they have the opportunity to win several games in BO3. After all, the top teams in KPL Division were not assigned to Group B!
As for Group A, not surprisingly, the top two teams in the knockout stage have a chance to advance to the final. The high probability is TS, Chengdu AG Super Tournament and WE, while eStar is self-deprecating and locked in the tenth place, not expecting it.
