Chapter 456 Tickets
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are welcome to take flight CA4396 of the Star Alliance member China International Airlines. The flight time of this flight is...."
"Thank you very much for your long-term support and trust in Air China..."
"The plane is about to take off. Please keep your seat belts in mind and do not walk in the aisle. Turn off your mobile phone and wireless Internet computer or turn off the network signal. We apologize for the delay caused by the thunderstorm weather. I wish you a happy flight."
The sweet voice of the flight attendant echoed inside the cabin, making a voice broadcast before the flight.
From the voice broadcast, we can hear that this is an international route from Shanghai to Busan, South Korea. In the past, passengers were business people traveling between China and South Korea. Today, this flight has a group of special guests.
"Mouse, sit down quickly, the plane is about to take off."
"Okay, I'll take off my headphones and it'll be fine right away." Wang Hao said to Zhang Yu while taking out his backpack.
Seeing that Wang Hao had packed everything and sat down, Zhang Yu turned his attention out the window. As the aircraft engine was activated, Zhang Yu seemed to feel a slowly increasing backward thrust, and the scenery outside the aircraft window continued to retreat.
"Another journey, Busan, we are here, S race, we are here again."
Of course, this group is not just Zhang Yu and Wang Hao, but also LG.S, LG.G, and its logistics personnel are on this plane.
In addition, this group also includes the official LPL personnel, translators, and another team from LPL that participated in the S competition, OMG team.
Yes, it can be clearly seen from the staff composition that this group is the team and official personnel of the LPL tournament this time.
Due to the excellent performance of the LPL team in the S Championship last year, one champion, one semi-finals, and the dominant record of the entire LPL this year, the number of places in the S Championship increased to three, and these three places were occupied by three teams LG.S, LG.G and OMG respectively.
Of course, the quota for the two brother teams LG.S and LG.G was determined early when LG.S eliminated EDG and entered the summer playoff finals.
After all, as the champion and runner-up of the spring season and both enter the summer finals, the competition is only the difference between the first seed and the second seed.
Despite this, both LG.S and LG.G, who are fellow players, still did not relax, and the final of the summer season was still extremely fierce. After all, one of the younger brothers has always wanted to turn over and be the master, while the other is to maintain his unbeaten record.
Before the final, for the sake of shaping the legend, the club and the outside and even the LPL officials discussed on a small scale whether to make "certain biased reservation plans" in the final, but they were all suppressed by Zhang Yu.
After five fierce battles, LG.S, who was the big brother, finally won slightly, defeated LG.G, maintained his unbeaten record, topped the championship in the summer season, and won the No. 1 seed of LPL.
LG.G won the second place with his points as the second runner-up in the spring and summer seasons.
As for the generation process of the third seed quota, it seems more complicated and tortuous compared with the first and second seed quota.
According to this year's competition system, after the playoffs, the LPL held a bubble match for the third seed quota.
There are a total of four teams participating in the Bubble Competition, all of which are determined based on the points throughout the year, and are ultimately composed of four teams, LGD, IG, OMG and EDG.
The four teams decide the order of appearance based on the points. First, LGD and IG, who have lower points, play, and the winners decide against OMG. Then after the two teams finish, the winner continues to challenge EDG upward.
Passing up layers is like bubbles coming out at the bottom of the water, which is also the source of the name Bubble Race.
Before the game, Volkswagen was originally optimistic about the two teams, LGD and EDG, because according to the performance of the summer season, both teams performed very well.
Especially the LGD team, although it is a new team, its performance is very eye-catching. First, they played their own style against LG.S in the semi-finals and forced a game to win a game at LG.S, causing great trouble for LG.S. In the subsequent third-place competition, they played five games with EDG, and in the final battle, they won the third-place competition with one move.
This hard-earned third place is also the reason why they can squeeze into the Bubble Game, otherwise, as a new team without Spring Tournament points, it would be difficult for them to enter the Bubble Game.
Although some comments after the game believed that EDG lost its form because he was fooled by LG.S, the public was still optimistic about this newborn calf.
The second is EDG. As a strong team throughout the year, the champion of the semi-finals of the playoffs and IEM, it is also favored.
As for OMG and IG, they were ignored by people in this competition.
Although OMG and IG teams have always been the teams in the previous class in LPL, OMG was the first league champion in LPL, and IG is also a veteran LPL champion, the two teams have not been very outstanding since this year. Even if OMG has a WCG champion, the two teams are also part of the teams in the league, but at the same time, they have been suppressed by EDG and the new generation of LGD teams, so everyone is not optimistic about these two teams.
However, the final result was beyond everyone's expectations. This third seed quota was finally won by the OMG team, which everyone ignored.
In the first round, LGD defeated IG team with a 3-0 crushing record. All of this was expected. After the reorganization, the IG team was in extremely unstable condition, with extremely high upper and lower limits. If it weren't for the points in the spring season, they would have been able to enter the bubble match with their summer season record.
However, in the second round of the bubble match, the proud and satisfied LGD team was bleeding and suffered a lot. In this round, Bo5 played extremely fiercely. Two radical teams once again had a bloody bite on the stage. In the end, it was not LGD, but OMG who stood in the end after this bloody bite.
Now OMG has only one opponent left, that is EDG. Unlike previous opponents LGD, EDG is a veteran opponent. This battle has also become a battle of willpower between the two teams. However, EDG was the first to hold on in this competition. When facing LG.S, EDG was greatly impacted and finally showed fatigue at the critical moment of this competition. OMG won the last game and successfully won the last ticket to enter the World Championship.

"Brother Yu, wake up, the plane is about to land." Guo Zai patted Zhang Yu who was sleeping.
"Is this here?" Zhang Yuchang stretched his waist and looked out the window. As expected, the scenery on the ground had gradually become clearer.
"It's finally here." Zhang Yu murmured softly.
