Chapter 321 Targeting from all over the world!

In the following period of time, the discussion about grouping on the Internet was booming.

RNG has become a well-known bad luck.

There are only four words in Li Luo's evaluation.

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

The high-intensity confrontation in the group stage may destroy a team, or it may bring a team back from the ashes.

Before the rebirth, RNG in the S8 World Championship got a relatively good script, and even eliminated the world champion of the first year in the group stage, making the Korean team appear again after many years in the group stage.

But the final outcome was not satisfactory.

Under high pressure, they may not be able to break through that threshold.

What Li Luo really cares about now is the World Championship version.

The 8.18 and 8.19 versions span more than ten days.

Patch 8.19, which belongs to the World Championship, didn't officially hit until the play-ins were about to begin.

Li Luo had reason to suspect that Riot was doing this on purpose. After all, last year, Riot finalized the World Championship version much earlier than now, giving teams enough time to buffer.

But this time...

It was a little rushed even for teams that went straight to the group stage, let alone the play-ins.

On the day we arrived in Korea, everyone at EDG held a meeting.

Everyone is in the training room, looking like top students from a high-quality high school, and I don't know if my grades would have changed if I had focused on studying.

On the plane, Li Luo has carefully analyzed the two versions that will determine the direction of the World Championship.

In the end, however, Li Luo only came to one conclusion.

smoke bomb.

Fist is throwing smoke bombs.

There are tons of hero tweaks in both versions.

The first is the ADC aspect that Li Luo is most concerned about.

There are actually two adjustments to adc, one is that Lucian has been strengthened, and the ad bonus damage of his Q skill has been increased by 0.2.

This is a big improvement for Lucian, and it can elevate the already strong Lucian to a higher level.

However, the mobility of Lucian before, that is, the weakening of his E skill, made this version of Lucian unable to become a powerful ad in the late game like the strongest version before.

To put it bluntly, it's a bit tasteless.

In contrast, Kai'Sa's slash before the World Championship was extremely ruthless.

Kai'Sa's passive proc damage was originally 15-20% of the target's missing health.

Now it has become 15% of the full level.

This means that Kai'Sa in the later stage has been greatly reduced, and the ability in the early stage has not been strengthened. From the data level of the version alone, Kai'Sa seems to be an abandoned ADC.

But after combining his impression of the S8 World Championship and other changes in these two versions, Li Luo realized that Kai'Sa will probably still be active as a mainstream hero in the World Championship version.

There is no other reason, there are too few ADCs that can be used in this version.

And there are very few ADCs with certain flexibility.

The Sword Demon, which had just been weakened before, inexplicably ushered in a reinforcement in version 8.18, and the degree of reinforcement is not small.

Sword Demon with enhanced E skills and ultimate moves is a hero that will become [-]% mainstream in the meta without the slightest surprise.

The S8 World Championship version is also very similar to the original S5, and the hero of Noah has also ushered in a substantial enhancement.

It's just in Li Luo's impression that no one in the S8 World Championship seems to have taken out the hands.

In terms of jungler, the fast-paced jungler Spider Queen and Mantis have been enhanced to varying degrees.

Akali's unilaterally weakened, and the damage of the ultimate move is reduced, but the overall hero mechanism is there, and the effect of the weakening of the damage of the ultimate move is not so great in comparison.

Combining the experience in memory and Li Luo's own game understanding, the fog of the version of the S8 World Championship was gradually poked by him.

The EDG players are very convinced of Li Luo.

Therefore, when Li Luo analyzed the version, everyone listened very seriously, even coach Abu.

"To put it simply, this Worlds version has a lot of smoke bombs, and heroes like Mantis and Spider Queen will be very tasteless if they can't get the rhythm."

Li Luo's eyes swept around and said slowly: "As long as the lineup is good enough, even if there is a disadvantage in the early stage, you can rely on the version to counterattack in the later stage, this kind of extreme rhythm hero is not suitable."

"Top unilateral tank fighters will become mainstream, and I won't be very worried in most cases, but we must pay attention to one hero on the bp side, and that is Akali."

Li Luo's words made Xiaotian spread his hands: "It's over, our top order is so stupid, this thing can't be played."

Jingong glanced at Xiaotian, but rarely did not refute.

He had to admit that what Xiaotian said was actually true.

Jin Gong also felt that the hero Akali was not suitable for him.

"but……"

Li Luo changed his words: "We can take Akali in the middle. This is our advantage. By the way, teams that can swing from the middle to the top in this version will be difficult to deal with."

"Although we are not good at this aspect, as long as there are one or two systems that can be swung in this way, it is enough. We can do what we are good at."

"Also, don't practice the version trap of Nuo Shou."

Li Luo said to Jingong directly: "This thing is very rank now, but the limitations in the game are too great. We don't need to practice an unused hero in order to improve the score during this time period."

"clear."

Jin Gong nodded.

For professional players, which heroes are strong in a version, players can more or less feel through their usual rank training.

Although this feeling may not be all correct, it is still very valuable in most cases.

The Nuo hand is very limited in the game, because it can't lead the sprint.

It is too easy to be walked by people with tp.

According to the recent joint research of EDG people, the mainstream mid lane heroes in the S game are either functional heroes such as Galio and Lissandra, or heroes such as Syndra and Enchantress.

A lot of control is a common feature of these players.

The popularity of heavy tank fighters is bound to mean that the threat of the top order to the C position has increased significantly. Under this situation, the adc position is biased towards heroes with displacement or mobility. It is already a sure thing.

Li Luo didn't know if the fist was unintentional or intentional.

From the version point of view, the wheel mother can appear in this World Championship, and even have the opportunity to become the mainstream.

That is to say, one of EDG's signature tactics, the mobile fortress, has a large operating space.

However, the W skill of Ryze, the hero, ushered in a weakening in the World Championship version, and the control time of strengthening W was weakened by 0.5 seconds.

The essence of Moving Castle is to push towers on the one hand, and catch people on the other.

The 0.5-second control weakening is easy to lay the groundwork in this situation. Of course, the more important thing is that Ryze has faced many mid lane heroes in this version and has no way to gain an advantage on the push line.

And Riot's enhancements to multiple ADCs a few patches ago seem to have no effect in this World Championship.

On the contrary, Vayne has been strengthened again, and the CD of her Q skill is reduced by two seconds when the skill level is low.

This strengthening is not a big deal.

Just considering the heroic characteristics of this thing, it may not be realistic to want it to stand as Kai'Sa in the World Championship.

But the strengthening of this thing is a good thing for Li Luo.

"This is probably what we need to pay attention to in the World Championship version. Specifically, we need to use the play-in team as a guinea pig to provide us with a reference."

After Li Luo finished speaking, he nodded slightly: "This World Championship doesn't have much pertinence for us, of course, it's just not strengthened."

"That's pretty good, better than I expected."

Abu said with a smile.

This is like the adjustment of occupational balance in dnf. Some occupations have been strengthened, while others have remained in place. Although they have not been weakened, they are still weakened from the perspective of relativity.

But on the whole, as long as it is not weakened, it is acceptable.

"That's it, everyone have a good rest tonight and start training tomorrow."

After thinking about it, Arbus had nothing to add. Li Luo's analysis was thorough and comprehensive, so he simply let the players rest, so that he could devote himself to the draft.

"Dismiss."

End of the meeting.

The players didn't get much sleep.

Because some people are hungry.

After landing, they had a very hearty Korean meal.

There are as many as six dishes.

But apart from Jin Gong and the younger brother, almost all of the people present were not full.

So after a vote, everyone unanimously decided to have a barbecue.

Because there is no need to participate in the play-in competition held in Seoul, the city where the EDG crowd landed is Busan, where the group stage will be held.

As one of the largest cities in South Korea, Busan is quite easy to find a barbecue restaurant. Aside from the price, the taste is not bad.

Having eaten and drank enough, Xiao Tian, ​​who was swiping his phone, suddenly said, "Brother Luo, I feel like something dirty is targeting you."

"what?"

The younger brother sitting next to him curiously leaned forward, then smiled: "Brother Luo, you are on the top of the list of poisonous milk."

"This is not surprising. If Lao Li is not at the top of the list, I will be surprised. By the way, I haven't paid attention to this year's list. Who is it?"

Meiko, who was sitting beside Li Luo, said curiously.

It's no wonder meiko said that, long before the World Championship places were finalized, professional players both online and in the circle knew that Li Luo would be at the top of this year's official "top 20 player" list of Riot Games.

Spring Championship, Mid-Season Championship, Intercontinental Championship, Asian Games Championship, and Summer Championship.

This year, Li Luo swept all the championship awards, and also swept [-]% of the finals FMVP.

There is no comment on the intercontinental competition, so it is [-]%.

This means that in the main game, there is a [-]% chance that Lee will land in the final to win the FMVP!

At the same time, Li Luo is also an MVP player in this summer's regular season.

The mvp player in the spring split was given the IG mid laner Rookie, who had won [-] consecutive victories. .

ADC players are also more difficult to obtain MVP than other positions.

Especially in the kind of game where you don't play two teams in a game. In this kind of game, mvp is usually given to the player who drives the team's rhythm in the early stage, or decides the direction of the game.

This is for EDG, which mainly focuses on the upper and middle jungles in the spring game and hone their Jingong ability.

In the summer split, EDG shifted its focus to the lower half, and Li Luo's MVP count naturally increased.

With so many honors, Li Luo was also the champion of last year's World Finals, so he must have been the top 1 player for a long time.

"Let me see……"

Xiao Tian glanced at the list: "This time we have a lot of players on the LPL list, more than LCK. Brother Luo is first, Rookie is second, Uzi is sixth, The shy is seventh, Tianye... ...You are eighth, Xiaoming is No.12, I am No.15, 7 sauce is No.16, hey, I am still in front, Jack loves No.19."

"Li Ruicanyi is number 17, this is seriously underestimating you."

After Xiaotian finished speaking, he habitually started Jianzuo: "Hey, no one is embarrassed."

Jin Gong was not angry, just laughed, then picked up the barbecue tongs and clenched it tightly, making a gesture of stabbing.

Not surprisingly, Xiaotian was counseled.

Li Luo also heard the contents of the list and was thoughtful.

According to Xiaotian's retelling, there are indeed many more players in the LPL this time.

There are ten seats in the top twenty, and five in the top ten.

Four of the other five are Korean players, and one is Snake from Lightning Wolf.

"Brother Luo, so far it seems that only the faker of S5 has escaped the poisonous milk curse of the fist, but I believe you will be the second one."

Xiaotian tried to divert the attention of Jin Gong, who was just around his neck, by diverting the subject.

"As long as someone has broken the spell, it's not a spell."

Li Luo smiled and said.

The EDG people who returned to the hotel did not rest immediately, but played two more rank games each before returning to their room.

This has become a habit of the players.

The low-latency rank environment did make the players feel the difference.

You must know that if you play Hanbok in China, most of the delays are maintained between 30ms and 40ms, and there are quite a few delay fluctuations.

But in Korea, even the training room temporarily created by this hotel can be stable within 10ms, which is very comfortable.

It just didn't last long.

Li Luo's account plummeted two percent in one day.

This incident gradually fermented in domestic forums.

Players with Hanbok began to maliciously target them.

The number of rankings performed by the players from the Asian Games to the playoffs is not much compared to usual. In addition, the players in the off-season have been playing rank with nothing to do, so the scores of the players from the strong teams are all at this point in time. Not too high.

Li Luo's account had seven percent remaining before the World Championship training.

Now it has fallen below [-] in the blink of an eye.

You must know that the hidden scores of professional players’ accounts are relatively high. Usually, even if they lose the rank, they will not have many points deducted.

On the other hand, Li Luo rarely had a page full of red, and every record was excellent.

It's just that when you click on the record, you can see that all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have occupied the rest of Li Luo's side.

After a day like this, even a fool would know what was going on.

A certain tooth, in the live broadcast room of Star Mark OB.

"This brother Luo is going to lose again. It's just a matter of choosing Xerath as an assistant. It's still in K pawn. When K loses a pawn, he will still show his expression. Is this not intentional? It's just GEN. The illegal three-row... The ruler has a chance to C."

As the anchor, Xinghen was also very annoyed when OB came down this day.

What annoyed him even more were some nt barrages that deliberately came over to be a stringer.

This is really a grievance game.

GEN's bot lane duo are together.

Li Luo brought an inner ghost on the bot lane to face him.

Don't say that Li Luo doesn't have three heads and six arms. Even if he does, he has to consider whether the hero himself has such high strength, right?

At this moment, a barrage landed in Xinghen's eyes.

"Shine sees that GEN only has a chance to run."

This simple sentence seems to have reached the threshold of star marks.

At this moment, as the anchor, he calmed down and nodded: "Indeed, if you run slower, the trophy will be deducted."
