"Ah yes, the S World Championship has started,"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yue suddenly realized.
Like previous years, this year's S World Championship began during the National Day Holiday and usually lasts for about a month, ending at the end of October or the beginning of November.
However,
the play-in stage starts during the National Day Holiday.
The play-in stage is the beginning of the S World Championship, but the teams from the LPL district, including the summer season champions, the FY team, have already advanced to the group stage. So, the play-in stage has nothing to do with the FY team, and naturally, Ding Yue didn't pay much attention to it.
Moreover, the level of teams in the play-in stage is limited. No team that started in the play-ins has ever made it to the finals and won the championship.
But the group stage, which starts after the National Day Holiday, is different.
