The draw for the 2024 KPL Spring Tournament is over: AG drew the "Group of Death", and the world champion failed to enter Group S
After the World Championship, the 2024 competition is gradually on the agenda, and the first thing to do is the draw ceremony for the new season. The 18 participating teams were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the results of the previous KPL League, each group includes 2 teams in Group S, 2 teams in Group A and 2 teams in Group B. This is also the fairest way to group groups, but there are still some very strong groups, let's take a look at the final grouping!
AG won the "next sign", and the competition pressure was high
First of all, let's take a look at the changes of the 18 teams this time, that is, the absence of the MTG team, this time it became the BOA team, and the remaining 17 teams remained the same.
In the end, the six teams that were assigned to the first group were WB, DRG, TES. Team A, XYG, WE and EDG.M. This group is also the weakest group relatively speaking, except for WB and DRG, the strength of the rest of the teams is not very strong, and the competitive pressure is a little less.
The second group should be the most concerned, with 6 teams including TTG, KSG, AG, Hero, VG and RNG.M. There are 4 strong teams in this group, of which AG Super Play Club is the champion team of the World Championship, Hero is the third place team, and TTG and KSG have also scored in the top 8, which is enough to show that everyone's strength is very strong, and the competition is bound to be very fierce. In addition, there are many highlights in the group stage of the second group, and the old enemies of AG and KSG are together again.
Some friends may be curious, AG Super Play will be the champion team of the World Championship, why is it not the seeded team of Group S? In fact, this is mainly related to the rules of the competition system, the grouping of the KPL League refers to the results of the last KPL League, that is, the final results of the teams in the last KPL Summer Tournament, at that time, the AG Super Play Club only got the top 8 results, so it fell into the seed area of Group A, which is also the reason why the World Championship champion failed to enter Group S.
Finally, let's take a look at the third group, which is Wolves, eStarPro, DYG, RW, LGD and BOA. The strength of this group is decent, and the Wolves team can be described as a dominant team, so there is not much pressure. The other is the eStarPro team, which is also the favorite to hit Group S, "Wolf Star" has collided countless times in the past few seasons, and it can be regarded as a pair of old enemies, this time the two teams in the group stage will gather again, which is still worth the fans' expectations.
In addition, there is another team in the third group whose strength is not yet known, they are the BOA team, and it is worth waiting for fans to wait and see if they can play well in the KPL like their predecessors XYG.
Judging from the strength of each group, the suspense of the first and third groups is not big, and the biggest variable should be the second group, and it is difficult to say who can enter Group S. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?
