Chapter 160 (2)
That night, it didn’t go as Lu Sicheng had expected because Tong Yao’s began menstruating. Tong Yao almost cried when she saw the blood stain on her panties. Then their captain announced to the rest of the team with a black face: Vacation had ended earlier than scheduled. Everyone must begin training.
Soon, it was September 10th.
This was a special day.
After all the major regions had finished their playoffs, the teams that would represent each region at S6 had been decided. And on this day, each team would draw lots to decide which group they would be in at S6.
There were altogether 16 teams from five regions.
The three teams from the China region were: 1st seeded pool ZGDX, 2nd seeded pool CK and YQCB.
The three teams from the Korean region were: 1st seeded pool TAT, 2nd seeded pool RP and OP.
The two teams from the Chinese Taiwan region were: 1st seeded pool FZ and 2nd seeded pool CNC.
The three teams from the European region were: 2nd seeded pool G4, 2nd seeded pool Sun, and 3rd seeded pool Moon.
The three teams from the North American region were: 1st seeded pool Time, 2nd seeded pool Tank, and 3rd seeded pool BBQ.
The two teams from the International Wildcard All-Star Event were: 3rd seeded pool Bear and 3rd seeded pool Turkey.
The drawing ceremony would be live streamed all over the world. Every region would send a professional player (or a retired player) to fly over to San Francisco, US, to attend the ceremony– —
……This year the person representing the China region to go to the US happened to be Tong Yao’s idol, a retired player with the id “Weixiao”, Gao Xuecheng, nicknamed “the King.”
There were 16 teams participating in the S6 world finals. They were divided into 4 groups. The first four teams in the first seeded pool would draw first. They would be put into the four different groups, which meant that these four teams wouldn’t see each other in the group matches.
Then the eight teams in the second seeded pool would be placed into the four groups.
Lastly, the teams in the third seeded pool draw, then put into the four groups.
In theory, the teams from the same region wouldn’t meet each other in the group match. The group stage would consist of best of one matches. The top two teams from each group would advance to the quarter finals.
At 7 o’clock in the morning of the 10th, 8pm in the US, all the teams gathered at their respective team conference rooms at their base to watch the stream. The organizer had sent over photographers to each team to film the nerve-racking moment and share with stream’s audience– —
As a team in the first seeded pool, the result of the first round of drawing didn’t mean much to ZGDX since it would only decide which of the four groups ZGDX would be placed in. Therefore when ZGDX drew group B, the audience could see in the window at the lower right hand corner of the screen that most of the people gathered in ZGDX’s conference room looked quite calm as there was little expression on their faces– —
Except for their mid sitting among all ZGDX players, the only female player in all the five regions who had become famous during the summer competition– –The moment Gao Xuecheng turned over the slip of paper in his hand, she grabbed the hand of her boyfriend and captain and screamed: “My god! The King’s fingers look so nice! Have you seen the way he pinches the paper with our team’s name on it, ahhhhhhhh. I feel like I’m that piece of paper! ! ! !”
Lu Sicheng: “……”
Lu Sicheng pulled his hand back and coldly sneered: “Now the whole world knows that you like him. Do you want to take the chance to confess to him?”
Tong Yao immediately turned around to face the camera with a bright smile and waved her hand: “The King! ! ! I like you! ! ! ! Wait till I bring that trophy back and send it to you with express delivery! ! !”
Lu Sicheng: “……”
