World Championship Riot Games. Patch 8. Seoul Busan Gwangju Incheon. Play-In Draw [ edit ] Pools Twelve teams have been placed into three Draw Pools based on past regional performance over the last two years of international competition.
Recent results prioritised over older results and regions were evaluated on tournament results by the stage achieved, regardless of opponent or game record. Procedure All four teams from Pool 1 into different groups followed by drawing one team from Pool 2 into each group and finally one team from Pool 3 into each group.
Group Stage Draw [ edit ] Pools Twelve teams have been placed into two Draw Pools based on past regional performance over the last two years of international competition. Pool 3: Four qualifying teams from Play-In. Rules No group can have more than one team from the same region. So, for example, first seed from China and second seed from China cannot inhabit the same group.
Each group must have exactly one team from Pool 1, two teams from Pool 2 and one team that qualifies from the Play-In Stage. Procedure The draw begins with the seeds physically separated into two bowls by Pool. The groups are arranged in alphabetical order from left to right. First, all of the seeds from Pool 1 are drawn randomly and then Pool 2. When a seed is drawn, it is placed into the next group available in alphabetical order so long as that would not render the draw invalid at any future point by preventing another seed from being placed in a valid spot.
In Pool 2, each group must have one Pool 2 seed before any group has two Pool 2 seeds, unless doing so would create an invalid draw. The draw is monitored as it proceeds and use a series of logical checks to identify when placement of a specific team would create an invalid draw down the road. If that happens, the team moves to the first available placement that would avoid the invalid draw. Group A Week 1 Week 1. Group B Week 1 Week 1. Group C Week 1 Week 1. Group D Week 1 Week 1.

When a seed is drawn, it is placed into the next group available in alphabetical order so long as that would not render the draw invalid at any future point by preventing another seed from being placed in a valid spot. In Pool 2, each group must have one Pool 2 seed before any group has two Pool 2 seeds, unless doing so would create an invalid draw.
Because of rule 1 no group can have more than one team from the same region , 2 CN cannot occupy Group A, and is placed in the next available group, Group B, which currently has space for Pool 2 teams and has no CN seeds. The general procedure for avoiding invalid draws is the same year to year, although the scenarios in which invalid draws can arise varies depending on which seeds are in which pool every year.
Below is an example specific to There are two ways to deal with situations like this. Alternatively, we could monitor the draw as it proceeds, and use a series of logical checks to identify when placement of a specific team would create an invalid draw down the road.
If that happens specifically before picks 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 15 , we can move the team to the first available placement that would avoid the invalid draw. What follows is the logic for deducing where 3 CN must go when drawn at Pick To avoid putting ourselves in an invalid draw, if the 14th overall pick is a CN team, it must go to Group C because any other placement would create an invalid draw.
These kinds of checks ensure that the draw can proceed without the need to restart and will stay in compliance with the rules of the draw. We thought that a few strong teams like kt and RNG might have the ability to win it all.
But after last night, we can confidently say that we have absolutely no idea who is favored to win anymore. If Fnatic fans are smart, they should start desperately downplaying their chances at the title because it seems that favorites are cursed at this tournament.
But the effects go deeper than that. Who cares that Cloud9 barely squeaked past the play-in stage a couple weeks ago? Neither do any of the other remaining teams. So remember where you were when you found out that kt and RNG fell. Korea affair. But this year, it seems like it could finally happen.
We got the first glimpse of this last year when Misfits almost outlasted defending champs and eventual finalists SK Telecom T1 in a five-set slugfest. Misfits picked to their own style with a surprise Leona that had SKT in fits.
