Chapter 320 Death Team!

The playoffs in all major regions are in full swing.

The release of one team after another has made the popularity of the S8 World Championships increasing day by day.

The summer finals of LPL have been grandly opened under repeated publicity.

After all, RNG just defeated the booming IG, and the strength they showed from the semi-finals is really a champion.

There is no need to say more about EDG, especially after the starting list of Xia Jue came out, when Collier Spicy Dance's eye-catching ID appeared on it, countless players were boiling.

Battle of Pigs and Dogs.

Another very standard Spring Festival Gala program.

It's a pity that this e-sports Spring Festival Gala failed to make the audiences wish.

The version of the summer finals has undergone another round of changes compared to the early stage of the playoffs.

The conspiracy of the fist designer has gradually emerged in this round of version changes.

First of all, Daomei has completed an unprecedented enhancement. Of course, it is said that it is an enhancement, but it is actually just a callback.

Not long after Daomei's rework, the designer realized that the damage of the new version of Daomei's Q soldiers was too high, so the damage caused by Daomei's Q skills to the soldiers was weakened to a certain extent.

Now only the damage of the Q soldiers has been adjusted back.

In addition, Jian Ji's E skill has been enhanced, and the critical damage of the second sword has been increased by 20% at lower levels.

This has also led to more top lane hero choices in the current version, and the difficulty of BPs who want to target the top lane as the main target has increased a lot.

King Ning couldn't wait for his version to come, and this version of Kayin has also ushered in enhancements, and the time that his E skill can stay in the wall has increased. This is for Kayin who relies more on the terrain to travel, although there is no substantial damage. Increase, but it can be regarded as a larger enhancement.

The most critical point affecting the trend of this game is the weakening of "Verus".

As one of the most popular heroes in the semi-finals of the summer split, Verus, uzi played the famous scene of relying on the hand to pull when it was used to fight Ah Shui.

And Li Luoluo also mentioned Varus' priority to a very high position when facing the showdown against JD.com.

The changes to Varus seem small, just changing the base health stat.

But what you need to know is that Varus' basic health value itself is only 549 points. Now this cut has suddenly become 499 points, and the basic health value is less than [-] points.

This doubles the difficulty of bot battles.

Neither uzi nor Li Luo would like to see this happen, so this hero will be discarded by both teams.

Then the problem is coming.

Abandoning Varus will have a greater impact on RNG, or will it have a greater impact on EDG?

The answer is obvious.

The final score of the summer split is exactly the same as that of the spring split.

Even JD.com scored a point in EDG's hands, but RNG failed to do so.

Is it because RNG is weaker than JD.com?
actually not.

The coach's gap was vividly reflected in this BO5, which did not last more than two hours.

When the final came to an end, the RNG crowd returned to the lounge in dismay.

Facing them are Sun Dayong, who looks messy with hair, and heart, who is called "heart mother" by fans.

This player who used to be the background board of uzi Vayne has now lost the battle again.

Although RNG won the No. [-] seed, heart was not happy at all.

He was restrained everywhere in the bp process, and the feeling of being completely researched but not having many cards that he could play made herat feel extremely embarrassed.

Especially after finishing the last bp, his whole mind was dazed.

Sitting on the chair, uzi wiped the sweat from his forehead tiredly, then looked up at herat, and said helplessly: "We can't beat the line-to-line, and we can't beat the team battle."

"As soon as that lineup was selected, I didn't know how to win. I felt the moment the last lineup was finalized, and this one was going to lose again."

"It feels like...we're just playing the game on our own...that's all."

Uzi's words also expressed the thoughts of the other team members.

mlxg sat next to the play.

He didn't make it to the final.

Because the team couldn't hold on to the fifth position to let him take on the savior's position.

In this BO5, they lost a crushing defeat.

The usual Radar brother Kasa completely turned off when facing Mingkai.

It's not that Kebikasa is stronger.

In fact, in this BO5, Kasa's several waves of operations are particularly eye-catching. In contrast, Mingkai is like a little transparent. In addition to assisting teammates to start a group, plus some simple and unpretentious ganks in the early stage, Mingkai The performance seems to be inferior to Casa.

But only Kasa, who was opposite him, understood that he was disgusted by this BO5.

With his top and middle lanes under pressure, and the bottom lane trying his best to maintain a balance of power at best, Casar, as a jungler, has much less room for activities than Mingkai.

And there is a reason why EDG let Mingkai start in the finals.

Just because Kasa is a pretty standard "formula" jungler.

The formulaic jungler means that Casar will not make too outrageous moves in the game.

All of Kasa's decisions in the game revolve around a scope that forms a closed loop.

In this case, as long as someone can figure out where the closed-loop range of Casa is, they can grasp the lifeblood of Casa.

Mingkai did it.

That's what he's best at doing.

Under the circumstance that his teammates give enough space, Mingkai can rest assured to use his mind.

He's getting old and his operations have slipped.

But the brain did not rust.

On the contrary, the older people are, the more evil they are.

During this period, Mingkai seemed to have entered a special state of excitement. He was like a dead tree surrounded by countless vines. It was clearly sprouting and turning green, but people outside could only see the vines. And you can't see the dead trees inside.

These vines are the entire team of EDG.

The LPL finals have come to an end.

EDG once again dominated the entire summer split with a near-invincible attitude.

Their next target is only the host of this year's S game, South Korea.

And the third seed on the domestic side was quickly established.

Although it fell into the bubbling game, this version seems to give IG a boost.

IG smashed JD.com with an almost crushing attitude and successfully advanced to the World Championship.

It is worth mentioning that in this year's World Championship, the third seed of the LPL does not need to participate in the Riot finals.

Because, LPL was the champion last year.

The treatment that this Korean team has always enjoyed is now owned by the LPL, and it was handed down by IG last year.

This also became an interesting talk from the audience before the draw ceremony of the S game.

On the other hand, the No. [-] seed GEN in the LCK division had to enter the bubbling match. First, he went to fight against the No. [-] seed from various divisions and even the teams from the wild card division. After winning, he could officially enter the group stage.

This means that before the start of this World Championship, LPL has transformed into the first division!

……

On the day of the draw.

The EDG crowd sat around in the training room, the melon seeds drinks were ready, waiting for the upcoming draw ceremony.

"There is no time difference if we hold a game in Korea, which is a good point."

Xiaotian scratched his feet without any image, and said while scratching.

"Apart from other aspects, I still like playing in Korea."

Meiko leaned on the chair and said leisurely: "The pin is low over there, training and competition should be pretty cool, especially someone's reaction speed is the same as hanging up, this pin is so low, shouldn't they be banned and reported by them. Right? Isn't that old Li?"

"Don't bullshit."

Li Luo was speechless: "I am more concerned about who the lottery is now."

"I remember it seems to be a princess, right? It used to be the old godfather."

Xiaotian said thoughtfully, and suddenly stopped picking his feet after speaking: "I'm from an old godfather, what the fuck, I remember that our EDG's luck in the previous S competitions has been very good, this time it won't... "

"Brother Gongzi, take your socks off and put them in his mouth, I don't want to hear him beep."

The younger brother directly commanded the standard strange Chinese.

"OK OK."

Jin Gong moved the chair forward with a smile on his face, and at the same time, the palm of Pu Fan stretched out towards Xiao Tian.

"Ouch, get out."

Xiaotian looked disgusted.

"The draw has begun."

Abu's words interrupted everyone's frolic.

The training room was quiet for a while, and everyone was staring at the lottery bucket in the hands of the drawer flame.

According to the rules, the No. [-] seed in four of the five major divisions will be placed in the four groups of Group A to Group D, respectively.

The last one to be eliminated is naturally North America, which has had poor results in previous S competitions.

Because of this, the No. [-] seed in North America is bound to collide with the No. [-] seed in another group in one group.

There are only four groups, which is inevitable.

And with the start of the lottery, the first four lottery places also appeared in the grouping pool one after another.

EDG, ranked in Group A.

This is also quite a funny thing, because EDG has been in Group A in most cases in previous S games, and there seems to be some kind of special connection between them and Group A.

The Korean team's summer champion this year is the KT team.

deft seems to have entered a state of obsession after the setback in the Asian Games.

He played valiantly in the playoffs, and the setbacks in the Asian Games not only did not make him show the slightest decline, but instead made him a more stable output machine for the team.

KT fulfilled its dream and won the championship, taking the No. [-] seed in the LCK.

Standing in Group C is the FW team.

The evergreen Lightning Wolf entered the S competition with the first result in the competition area. This spirit alone is enough to be praised.

Group D is the veteran giants FNC. After reversing the decline in the summer split, they reached the top in one fell swoop. After a long time, they once again advanced to the world championship as the No. [-] seed.

The grouping of the No. [-] seeds in each division will not attract too much attention. There are four pits in total. The difference is who chooses to squat.

The key is to look at the configuration of this pit.

One lottery after another emerged from the lottery pool.

The first team to debut in Group A was VIT.

VIT, the second seed in Europe.

At this time, they were also sitting around the screen, nervously watching the live broadcast of the lottery.

And when they noticed that they had been assigned to Group A, the players looked sluggish at first, followed by someone shouting OMG, and then all kinds of elegant words with Fake's elegant words sounded one after another in the training room.

EDG is one of the favorites to win the S competition this year, and there is also the ad god of death, Shine, who is circulating in Europe. If they are assigned here, there will be ghosts if they can be happy.

However, after a short period of sadness, they quickly adjusted their emotions and looked at the next opponent with anticipation.

Having a terribly strong team in the group is a bad thing, but on the other hand it can be a good thing as long as they are in the second tier of the group.

If EDG can beat all the teams in the group, then the other three teams have a chance.

This is somewhat similar to a multiple-choice question, in that a four-answer multiple-choice question is always less likely to be correct than a three-answer multiple-choice question.

Moments later, the second unlucky team in Group A... oh, the second team with a dream appeared.

MAD.

From the curved team.

As the second seed, they became the third member of Group A.

The EDG people who watched the lottery ceremony had already made up their minds when they saw this.

Now in Group A, there are LPL divisions, European divisions, and Southeast Asia divisions.

That is to say, the last place to be competed through the play-in competition can only come from North America, South Korea, and the wild card.

"It may be C9, or it may be GEN. The probability of a wild card is not high."

Abu said thoughtfully.

It's not that he looked down on wild-card teams.

If you analyze it from the most objective point of view, the team that can finally qualify for the wild card is actually well known for a long time.

Even if there is a possibility of an upset, the probability of an upset is too low.

There are now four teams from the five major regions in the wild card.

They are GEN from Korea respectively.

North American C9.

G2 in Europe.

And the third seed in Southeast Asia, GRX from Hong Kong.

The odds of these four teams making it to the group stage would also be higher if you think about it with your ass.

As for the other teams...

You can only rely on the upset to seek that slight chance of qualifying.

I have to admit that upsets are possible on the field.

But in terms of the play-in format, unless it is always upset and upset, it will be difficult.

"C9 is better. If it's GEN... then the situation of our group A is a bit complicated."

Li Luo said thoughtfully.

This pick isn't too good for their EDG, but it's not too bad either.

At least compared to the other two brother teams on the LPL side, it is indeed not bad.

Judging from the top three hands, EDG at least maintains their pick.

But RNG and IG are not so lucky on the surface.

The first is RNG.

The No. [-] seeds were assigned to Group B.

Now the three teams in Group B are No. [-] seed KT from South Korea, No. [-] seed TL from North America, and RNG.

This means that if RNG wants to qualify, they will have to face two No. [-] seed teams at the same time.

If in the end G2 also goes to Group B...

Li Luo thought for a while.

Good guy, I'm afraid the effect of the show is not going to be directly full.

On the other hand, IG was assigned to Group D, which looked pretty good, at least compared to RNG.

Their first three hands didn't hit the Korean team.

In the same group are No. [-] seed FNC from Europe and PVB from Vietnam.

The reason why PVB didn't need to play in the play-in is because they got the best result in the wild card region in MSI.

The strength is still relatively low on the surface.

But they are also likely to encounter GEN in the play-in.

Needless to say, RNG fell into the death group once again.
