There are no direct flights from Seoul to Berlin, Germany, so the entire SKT team has to fly to Frankfurt first, and then transfer to Berlin via Frankfurt.

Due to the excellent Internet speed, the whole team watched the last two games of the play-in knockout round on the plane, and there was no surprise, the third seeds in the four regions all successfully broke through, and even the most devirated HKA also successfully killed.

A simple draw ceremony was held after the play-in round, which will determine the group stage grouping of the final four teams.

The moment the lottery guests appeared with a smile, Li Xu was surprised, it was actually Mr. Bang who had been eliminated in North America early.

Due to his poor record, Mr. Bang once said on INS not to talk to him about the World Championship, and when he heard about the World Championship, he was very popular, why did he come to the draw so happily?

"Yo yo! Why did this person come here? ”

Brother Li: "It seems that Bae Junzhi is going to be a reporter." ”

"Tsk! After retiring, there is another way. ”

I have to say that the North American division is also too fun, thinking about the big brother being able to play from the competition seat to the commentary seat, Mr. Bang seems to make sense from a player to a reporter.

Due to the principle of avoiding the same division, there are actually not many possible grouping situations on its own, and the situation was directly determined when Mr. Bang drew SPY in the first draw.

Since among the remaining three groups, Group A and Group D have North American teams, CG can only go to Group C, and Group A has the presence of Griffin, DWG can only go to Group D, so the final group of the group stage is as follows:

Group A: G2, GRF, C9, HKA.

Group B: FPX, JT, GAM, SPY.

Group C: SKT, FNC, RNG, CG.

Group D: TL, AHQ, IG, DWG.

Seeing the moment Bang pulled out SPY, Li Xu smiled:

"Wow! Brothers, the time has come to beat Huni up. ”

The surrounding barbecue stalls looked at Li Xu with an expression of unknown meaning.

The Muggles haven't reacted yet, have they?

Li Xu looked at his teammates looking at him inexplicably, and suddenly a sense of superiority in IQ arose.

"Tsk!"

Li Xu shook his head, "I'll give you an analysis, first of all, SPY went to Group B, so CG can only come to Group C, and in addition..."

Brother Li interrupted: "You just know?" ”

"What?" Li Xu was stunned.

Teddy looked at Li Xu with pity: "Didn't you find that no matter how you smoke, CG can only come to Group C?" As long as today's game is not an upset, CG has already been confirmed to come to Group C, and you actually know. ”

"Huh? You all know it? ”

"What do you say?"

Li Xu crossed his fingers, gradually lowered his head, and fell into self-autism.

It turned out that their strange eyes just now were not amazed at Brother Xu's wisdom, but looking at fools?

Teddy next to him comforted, "Don't be sad, at least Pei Junzhi will know the result when you draw one, which means that you are not stupid." ”

"Ignore me, I want to be quiet."

······

On the morning of October 9th, the entire SKT team finally arrived at Berlin Tegel Airport.

Berlin is located in the lowland plains of northeastern Germany, with a high dimension and low temperatures all year round, and the temperature in Berlin at this time is significantly lower than that in Seoul.

Following the pick-up lady boarded the bus, a group of melons looked at the scenery outside the window with great interest.

Although Germany is a highly developed capitalist country, its population is evenly distributed, and there is no phenomenon of urban population clustering, so there are few high-rise buildings in the city, and various European-style houses are overwhelming.

The young lady who picked up the airport was a local international student, who was introducing some basic information about Berlin to the melons in the car, and Li Xu was also relieved to hear that many Germans could speak English, at least he was not afraid of the language barrier after a wave outside.

Coach Kim Jong-hoon couldn't help but ask: "Where is the Berlin Wall?" I've always wanted to see it. ”

The young lady explained: "This time the hotel you booked is very close to the Berlin Wall, so you can go down and ask the hotel staff when the time comes." ”

"That's right, coach, let's go to the Berlin Wall in the afternoon, Li Xu, you go with us, you can speak English."

With three days to go until the start of the group stage, Teddy couldn't hold back, spending almost twenty hours on the plane, most of the time sleeping, which would be a lot of energy.

"Okay." Li Xu agreed.

"What to see? I'll just go to the Berlin Wall alone. ”

Kim Jung-hoon stood up, "You guys are training hard in the hotel one by one, do you know how hard DWG has been working lately?" People work hard in Europe, are you here to travel? ”

It was during this time that DWG, which was the first to go to Europe, set off a bloody storm in the European server.

The players of the DWG themselves are all composed of high-scoring passers-by from the beginning, and their personal strength is considered to be the top in the Hanbok, because they want to play the play-in tournament, the DWG members who opened the RANK in the European server first scored crazy points in the European server, and in just over a week, the upper middle field of DWG broke into the forefront of the European server with a winning rate of eighty percent, making all parties shout monsters.

"Of course we're not here for tourism, but..."

Li Xu glanced at Kim Jung-hoon, "What does it matter to us that they work hard for them?" ”

Kim Jung-hoon: "??? ”

What you said seems to make some sense, but it also seems very unreasonable.

Li Xu was confident: "Coach, do you think it is useful to play a few more RANK?" Maybe the level will drop if you play too much with the dishes in the European service, just play a little less to keep the feel, there is no need to fight so hard. ”

Teddy also interjected: "It's just that I finally came to Germany once, and if I don't go to the Berlin Wall today, I won't have a chance to go, anyway, there are still three days before the game." ”

Kim Jong-hoon originally wanted to tease these melon skins, so he stopped pretending: "Remember your words today, if we can't win the championship, we will slowly settle the score." ”

"What afternoon?"

Kim Jong-hoon smiled: "Departing from the Berlin Wall, I have a treat for dinner." ”

"Yo roar!"

The hotel where the SKT team stays is called the Schulz Hotel, located in the Friedrichshain district, directly on to the Berlin Wall, and very close to the Vertical Concert Hall, where the group stage will be held.

When he arrived at the hotel, Li Xu and Brother Li were once again assigned a room.

The room is not big, and the decoration is very warm, but it is the two beds that make Li Xu a little dissatisfied, and the two beds are as wide as two fists, and they are very close.

Li Xu stared at the gap between the two beds, and the more he looked, the more uncomfortable he became.

"What are you doing?"

Brother Li watched Li Xu staring at the bed in a daze, a little unsure of what he was thinking.

Li Xu turned his head and looked at Brother Li with a serious face, "Don't stare at my ass when you sleep at night, and don't put your ass at me." ”

Brother Li: "·····"
