In a blink of an eye, it has been two days since Tianlu arrived in the United States.

During these two days, they personally felt the major atmosphere. They not only could see the celebrity players who have become famous in the world of CSG at close range, but more importantly, the high-quality training competition brought unprecedented impact to the players.

On the morning of the third day, Tianlu's players were all sitting in front of the computer, waiting for the lottery to be held to figure out who they might face in this qualifier.

As mentioned before, the 16 teams participating in this competition have been assigned to 4 pools in advance. The first round of confrontation will be between the teams in the first two pools and the teams behind.

Tianlu is in the No. 3 Pool, so their first round opponent can only be one of the four teams in the No. 2 Pool.

At 10 a.m. local time, two people appeared on time in the studio at the competition site. One of them was the big bald man Zhao Yiyang had seen before, and the host of the event, and the other one was an Asian face. Zhao Yiyang didn't ask who it was.

Anyway, the first round of confrontation in this Swiss round was born from the Asian man.

The lottery was still very fast. The big bald man first explained the division of each pool, and then the Asian man put the cards in the corresponding cards into the bags and sealed them. Then he picked up the four bags in the pool No. 1, disrupted the order, and randomly drew one.

"The first team was FlipSid3, and they were also regular visitors to major in the past."

Although the draw for this game is indeed a bit casual, the teams are just like this, and their strengths and weaknesses are quite obvious, so there will be no differences between anyone who draws them.

The first round opponent of F3 is the North American team Misfits. This international team consisting of three Americans and two French people is currently ranked 13th in the world. Although the ranking is very high, its actual combat effectiveness is actually not very strong.

For this result, both F3 and Misfits are actually acceptable. After all, this is a "weak confrontation" and both sides have hope of winning.

"I hope our luck will be so good!"

"Don't play FaZe in the first round, you can do a vega or sprout!"

Tianlu's players were also praying silently, after all, no one wanted to play the strongest team in this game.

The second No. 1 Pond Team was drawn out was NaVi, and their opponent was Quaor Fire, a team that came from or.

In fact, for the teams in the CIS region, there is no particularly good way to estimate their strength in the competition, especially for the Swiss round-robin system of BO1. Because in the second and third teams of CIS, there are many gun men with strong gun skills, especially Zhao Yiyang, who also knows that among this QBF, there is a talented boy who has joined NaVi in the future and serves as the commander - Boombl4.

Therefore, this CIS civil war is also one of the highlights of the first round. Although NaVi is still the overlord of the CIS, everything is possible in BO1's game.

The third match will be between G2 and the Cowboy. Seeing this, Zhao Yiyang couldn't help but watch a moment of silence for the Cowboys, because they had just played a training match with G2 and knew that the strength of this G2 was really strong. The Cowboys may only have a chance in the mirage, and other maps are basically free.

The fourth group showdown naturally broke out between vy. At this time, C9 was in full swing, and they were also the second highest-ranking team in this qualifier, ranking fifth.

Envy is no longer the same as before, so there should be no suspense in this round of competition.

"It's time for us, it's time for us!"

Tianlu's team members closed their eyes and dared not watch the scene.

"Don't be FaZe, anyone else can do it!"

Zhao Yiyang was also very nervous because if he lost the first game, the difficulty of winning three later would increase exponentially.

"Oh, the first one to draw was FaZe. Let's see who his opponent will be?"

“oh my god! It’s liquid!”

Seeing the lottery results, both of the people at the scene showed strange smiles on their faces, because liquid, a very popular team in North America, will meet FaZe, the strongest team in this game in the first round. This can be said to be that Mars hit the Earth.

“NIICE!”

However, it is definitely a good thing for other teams to meet liquid, so Tianlu's team members also tweeted.

"Sprout is the team that Penta, HS and Sunny left and reorganized the two players of the Rat."

"Let's see who their opponent will be?"

"Depend on!"

Sure enough, Sprout's opponent is Tianlu. In fact, this result is acceptable for both teams. After all, Sprout will definitely become weaker after the reorganization. They are currently ranked 29th in the world. However, the players of this team are actually worthy of being named and have rich experience in the competition. These people are very good at playing games, so it is actually more difficult for Tianlu.

"Why isn't Vega!"

Vega is also a team in the second pool of this event, and Tianlu once defeated them last year, so they hope that their first round opponent will be this team.

"Sprout is better than mice, be prepared!"

Seeing this, there is actually no need to watch the ones behind. Datou went to make an appointment for this afternoon's training competition, and the other contestants also returned to their respective seats to start practicing guns.

Since the first round grouping has come out, it is convenient for Datou to find the training match opponents that can be helpful to the first round of the game, either a team with a relatively similar style or a team with a relatively close tu pool.

Finally, he found two teams that were also interested in training with Tianlu, namely the European veteran team mousesports and the Turkish team Space Soldiers.

In terms of strength, the Rats are definitely stronger than Tianlu, and the Turkish team's style may be similar to Tianlu.

What Zhao Yiyang is most looking forward to is definitely the training match with the mouse, because among this mouse, there is a player he likes very much, that is, Estonian genius Ropz.

I believe that anyone who has watched the Ropz documentary will find it difficult to have a bad feeling for this shy boy. Moreover, his experience is actually similar to Zhao Yiyang. They were once suspected to be a cheat, but they all achieved success through self-certification. In the end, they were directly signed by a strong team as the core training for the future.

However, the core of this mouse is not actually Ropz, it should be the number one person in Finland.

According to the previous timeline, both Ropz and Sunny will enter the top 20 in 2018. Zhao Yiyang also wants to know how much his current strength is still far from the players on the edge of these two top 20.
