Among the sixteen teams in Group A, there were no Chinese teams except 4AM.
This made many Chinese viewers breathe a sigh of relief.
The teams in Group A were not particularly strong overall. The most formidable seemed to be Thailand's AG, North America's C9, and NIP, the team with Shroud.
It was worth mentioning that G Shen had originally been on NIP as well, but he had transferred to Faze.
Ever since Maxy had shut down Jiang Siming's computer during a match, Faze's reputation had been dragged through the mud.
Although Maxy had done it on his own and had received extremely harsh punishment, being permanently kicked out of the professional scene,
many viewers had still pinned that disgrace on Faze.
To keep the team's popularity from continuing to plummet, Faze's owner had no choice but to spend heavily to poach G Shen from NIP.
The results had been quite significant. After G Shen joined and the owner spent money on some public relations work, the team returned to its former popularity.
The fans also began to place their hopes in this new Faze.
Aside from that, the other teams in Group A were all obscure ones. Some had even been competing in the World Championship for the first time, such as the Indian and Swiss teams.
In short, 4AM had little pressure. With four teams advancing from each group, reaching the top four was clearly easy for a Champion Team.
The other groups, however, each had quite a few formidable teams.
That actually made Jiang Siming rather envious.
The higher the quality of the match, the higher the drop rate and quality of the fragments.
Unfortunately, they had been placed in Group A.
The only thing that consoled him was that Group A could start playing right away,
