This time, the TI 1 1 RNG team was assigned to Group A, and they had already determined the participating teams two days ago. If it is not an exaggeration to say that RNG and NGL have played against each other before, they will face two Korean teams, FNC and Firefly, in Group A. We are quite satisfied with this result (although NGL and Firefly are very competitive in BP), but it is a bit excessive for RNG to play three games a week to get the promotion quota (which also makes them unable to have much say in Group A).
FNC was assigned to Group B, and was assigned to Group A just like CJ. Because FNC needs the first place in the group to qualify this time, if it is divided into Group A, FNC should have a better performance in the group stage. However, according to the results of the lottery, FNC will be grouped with RNG after being assigned to Group A (if playing), and finally FNC may not get any places.
There are many teams in China. Of the three teams participating in the TI 1 1 main competition, two were invited from overseas. If TI 1 1 can solve these problems before TI 1 1, we can win another championship before TI 1 1. If it is more difficult for teams from other divisions to win in TI 1 1, then China can continue to play. If China participates in TI 1 1 for three times, I believe the final champion will go to FNC and RNG. If China really has uncertainties, is it strange that China has only three teams? What do you want to say about this?
