I don't work overtime as a professional.

Chapter 138 The Lottery Ceremony
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Gong Qingwen was stunned for a while, and then asked a little funny: "You think you can't compete with Scout, but you can't compete with Rookie?"

Zhao Yi choked, then sighed faintly, "Can you stop being so straightforward? It's very hurtful."

Gong Qingwen laughed twice, "My mine, I shouldn't have opened you like this."

Zhao Yi sighed faintly again, and then said with emotion: "I really envy you. You have never played in the LPL, so you come directly to the World Championship, and you still start! You still win all!"

Hearing Zhao Yi's cadenced voice, Gong Qingwen rubbed her slightly astringent eyes.

"You're not much different, it's just that you haven't played yet."

Zhao Yi said "tsk", "Farewell, I'm afraid that I'll meet your IG in the quarterfinals, and you're in such a desperate state right now."

Gong Qingwen thought for a while, and then said: "It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right? I don't think the probability is very high?"

Zhao Yi's voice was still full of emotion, "It's hard to say, the rules of this year's lottery are quite simple, that is, the first place in the group will be drawn to determine the upper and lower halves of the division. Then the second place will be drawn to determine the opponents of the first place in the group."

"Tsk." There seemed to be some resentment in Zhao Yi's voice, "We are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, we only have the fate of being chosen."

Gong Qingwen rubbed his brows and smiled wryly, "No way, it's not as exaggerated as you say."

"It's just exaggeration." Zhao Yi immediately retorted, "But anyway, I can't play, so it doesn't matter how I come."

"Okay." Gong Qingwen didn't bother to argue with him, "Do you want to have dinner tomorrow?"

"Have a meal?"

"Well, didn't I get a pentakill? There is a little bonus, and I am going to treat my teammates to dinner, so you can come too?"

The other side was silent for a while, and then heard Zhao Yi's voice tentatively.

"The bonus... how much is it?"

Gong Qingwen thought about it, but still did not tell Zhao Yi the specific amount.

"Not much, but it's okay to treat you to a meal."

"Oh, that's fine, I'll come to you tomorrow."

……

The next day, after eating with his teammates, Gong Qingwen and Rookie sent Zhao Yi to the car.

"He is not bad, quite talkative."

Rookie walked side by side into the hotel with Gong Qingwen, looking back from time to time.

"Well, he is indeed quite an outgoing person." Gong Qingwen responded, and then seemed to remember something.

"What time does the lottery ceremony start?"

Rookie replied without thinking: "7 o'clock in the evening, we have to go to the scene then."

As he said that, he felt a little resentful, "I still have to go to the court to get the lottery, tsk."

Gong Qingwen patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Rookie, don't say such things, obviously many people can't go if they want to go."

Rookie raised his eyebrows, looked at Gong Qingwen, "Then why don't you go, and I'll apply with them?"

Gong Qingwen quickly waved his hands, "Farewell, farewell, standing on it is like playing a monkey. You, the big brother, should do this kind of work."

Hearing this, Rookie raised her hand as if to hit him, Gong Qingwen hurriedly ran into the hotel, leaving behind a figure who fled in a hurry.

Shaking his head, Rookie felt that his behavior seemed a bit childish.But then, he couldn't help but chuckled again.

……

At [-]:[-] p.m., the auditorium of BEXCO Busan Exhibition and Convention Center.

This is the venue for the S8 group stage and the quarter-finals, as well as the location for the draw for the knockout stage.

Gong Qingwen and the rest of his teammates were sitting under the stage, while Rookie had already stood on the stage.

Each team that has qualified will have a representative standing on the stage, standing in order according to the grouping situation of the group stage.

Rookie stood where he belonged with his hands behind his back, and the expression on his face had changed from the cautious one when he first came on stage to a meticulous and serious one.

I don't know if this is a subconscious expression, or he originally planned to use this expression to spend the lottery ceremony.

In the control field hosted by the scene, the lucky draw guest Watch walked slowly to the front of the stage in a suit.

I have to say that Watch looks good.He is obviously a retired LCK professional player, but he has the looks to be able to participate in TV dramas.

In the first round of lottery, the first four teams will be drawn, and then the grouping of the upper and lower halves will be determined according to the order in which the lottery is drawn.

Watch put his hand into the transparent draw bucket and began to stir it.

There are four round plastic balls in the lottery bucket. Inside the plastic balls are paper strips with the team name and team logo on it.

After going around a few times, Watch stopped his hand from stirring the lottery bucket, then casually grabbed a plastic ball and took it out of the plastic bucket.

Immediately afterwards, he slowly opened the plastic ball, stretched the folded paper, and presented it completely in front of the camera.

KT.

This is the first team drawn by the Watch lottery.

At this time, the camera slowly moved to the face of KT's representative Smeb.

Perhaps it was because of the current lottery that it could only be decided that he entered the upper half, and even the opponent hadn't decided yet.

In short, there was no big expression on Smeb's face, just a faint smile.

The lottery continued, and as Watch took out another plastic ball, the first team in the second group and the team in the same half as KT were also decided.

AFS.

The representative player of AFS had a slight astonishment on his face.But soon, he adjusted his expression so that there was only a faint smile on his face.

The third No. [-] seed is also the team that debuted in the lower half.

In Gong Qingwen's line of sight, an extremely familiar team logo and team name appeared in front of Gong Qingwen.

IG.

The camera panned over Rookie, and there was a cute smile on his round face.

So far, the division of the four No. [-] seeds in the upper and lower halves has also been completely determined.

Don't even look at the last team, everyone knows it's RNG.

After the No. [-] seed was drawn, the draw ceremony officially entered the highlight.

Because until now, they will start to decide who their knockout opponents will be for the No. [-] seeds who have already determined their divisions.

After switching to a lottery bucket, Watch's hand began to stir again, and everyone's eyes kept moving along with his hand.

Taking out the first signed ball, Watch slowly opened it.First, he glanced at it himself, then showed a smile on his face, and then showed the note to everyone.

C9.

This is the first team KT, the No. [-] seed of the LCK, will meet in the quarterfinals.

The representatives of KT and C9 had different expressions on their faces. They walked to the front of the stage together, shook hands lightly, and then turned their heads and left the stage.

After the two left the stage, Watch continued to draw lots.

Repeating the previous action, Watch opened the note in his hand again.

EDG.

　Because the lottery ceremony of S8 is a bit complicated in reality, and if it is done, IG will meet with EDG, so I made it a little simpler in the book, so as not to cause civil war.Anyway, what rules and dates do you see that are different from reality... Don’t ask, it’s parallel time and space.
