Pioneer Lightning Week

This year's new Pioneer Tournament has a short schedule of only one week, and the five regional champions are divided into two stages: the group stage and the knockout stage. In the group stage, a single round-robin Bo3, each team will play once against other teams, and the top four will advance to the knockout round, and the last place will be eliminated. The knockout stage is directly single, semi-finals and finals, and the winning championship region is in MSI, when the second team can directly advance to the main competition, and there is no need to play the play-in round. This pioneer competition, in terms of honor and influence, is even inferior to MSI. The scale of the event also makes it difficult to call it a world competition, which can be seen as a small expansion of the intercontinental competition that year, and it is useless except for the global BP to watch. If the group stage is Bo5, that's fine, but the most noteworthy content of the result is the 3 Bo5 games in the final knockout round. However, Bo3's single round-robin group stage also made the surprise bigger, so who among the 5 teams in the first stage will be the first to be sent home?

HLE

First of all, as the host region representative of the LCK, the organizer of this Pioneer Tournament, HLE is also the favorite to win the championship, Zeus has been strong after joining, defeating T1, DK and GenG in the first stage to win the championship, and a team of this level is unlikely to be eliminated in the group stage. They may lose some small games, but Bo3 already has enough margin for error for them, and the local combat environment is too familiar to be interfered with by other factors. Predict at least the top two in the group stage to advance to the knockout stage and have a chance to win them all.

TES

In recent seasons, the LOL World Championship still looks like a championship between LCK and LPL, and the first stage of TES winning the championship this year is still a bit unexpected. However, due to the fact that there are many unstable players in the team, it is difficult to defeat HLE, and of course, there is still a greater chance of winning the LPL than in other regions. It is unlikely that China and South Korea will be eliminated from the group stage, but it is not uncommon for this kind of upset in history, not to mention that TES itself was eliminated by Vietnam in the World Finals. So it's all about strength on paper.

KC

Except for the China and South Korea divisions, the remaining 3 don't look so optimistic. KC is the new king of Europe and has never won the LEC before. Although the double C is very young and strong, and the jungler can also be said to be the current Ou Yiye, but Kamisuke has a history of poor performance in the World Championship, even if Han Yuan's top laner played a one-shot five in the European finals, but we are still not optimistic about the performance of this team's Nosuke. The first World Championship didn't have any reliable data to look at, and it was hard to predict, but it felt a little better than the other two.

CFO

It's okay to look at the representatives of the previous LMS division, Junjia and Doggo are acquaintances, the top single is old and young, the elderly are assisted, and the debut of the mid-laner World Championship in 07 is the highlight. Perhaps this year they can break the stereotype that everyone has had in the past few years, and until then they will still be a team of similar strength to Europe and the United States, especially opponents on a par with North America.

TL

The team with the largest average age, 2 30-year-old naturalized Korean aids, won the American League with 1 new Korean aid, 1 Korean and 1 local midlaner. Let's predict that one of the most likely to be eliminated in the group stage is TL and CFO. But after all, the CFO has some uncertainties, and the lineup of this Liquid team is exactly the same as last year, and the strength is average, so as long as the above 4 teams play according to the strength on paper, the probability of being eliminated is TL.

There are unknowns about the global BP Strange lineup

However, since this year's Vanguard uses global BP, there are many unknowns even in Bo3, and the probability of an unexpected upset is definitely greater than that of the old traditional BP. However, after all, it's only Bo3, and the mainstream favorite heroes are enough to deal with, and if the group stage is Bo5, it may indeed make the outcome more unpredictable. Therefore, the North American team, which is barely much better than the wild card, may be the team that will be more likely to go home early in our opinion.
