The pools for the LPL group draw, which will take place May 18 at 7:00 a.m. ET, have been revealed in a graphic provided by the official lolesports Weibo. The graphic includes information that EDward Esports, recently qualified for the LPL, will be rebranded to IMay, and Energy Pacemaker All will be called Game Talents in the coming season.

As with the last group draw, only one team from Pool 1 will be placed in each group. Two teams from Pools 2 and 3 will be placed in each group. One team from Pool 4 will be placed in each group. As a result, EDward Gaming and Royal Never Give Up, because of their appearances in the 2016 LPL Spring Final, cannot compete in the same group.

The group draw also included official information that EDward Esports has been sold to IMay. Game Talents (GT), another organization, has allegedly purchased Energy Pacemaker All, but again no official announcement has been made from the team.

theScore esports will report final group draws as they appear on May 18.
