archer ferocity

The staffing transfer of a team like SKT naturally attracted the attention of the media in each competition area.

But when this news spread to China, a series of forums, whether it was Tieba or Hupu, held a negative attitude towards SKT's behavior.

The two IDs of kanavi and canna are too unfamiliar to them.

In the eyes of the public, these are nothing more than two newcomers.

"Are you really in a hurry and went to the doctor? Or is it that SKT is completely screwed?"

"One thing to say is that although my brother's performance in the finals of world-type competitions is relatively sloppy, you don't think that a random newcomer is better than my brother, right? No way, no?"

"Laughing, Clid is a blind monk with a unique skill, and the Spider Prince can be said. You have a newcomer, will this help the team?"

"Don't ask, the question is that SKT is drawing cards. It is recommended to wait and see. After all, my brother Luo was also drawn by IG's card drawing."

"Draw a card? It's an EDG card!"

……

Li Luo didn't pay attention to how the netizens commented on this matter, he only believed in his own comments.

First of all, these two players are definitely not weak.

But Li Luo was considered an old man in the professional circle in his past and present lives, and he had seen and experienced more than most players, so Li Luo's views on players were also different from many others.

First of all, performance is an important indicator to measure the strength of players, but it is not the only indicator.

Secondly, not all players who have won the S Championship are the strongest players in this position, because whether a player is strong or not depends on many factors, such as the team's tactical focus, such as his position in the team. location.

I was able to win the championship because this is a game of five people. The chemical reaction produced by the five people together is the key to the highest honor. If you can't get good results, there may be conflicts within the team.

Therefore, there are very few teams that are recognized as the number one in the world in all five positions and win the championship. Most champions only meet the benchmark of "no shortcomings".

Undoubtedly, neither Piange nor Xiaomoo's personal abilities can be called shortcomings.

How well they can perform depends on how they work with the team.

Of course, in Li Luo's impression, canna also has the same attributes as khan.

Both of them are a bit similar to the problem of being invincible in the league, and the competition is getting more and more difficult as the competition goes up.

However, considering the actual situation at the time, Li Luo also had a different opinion.

Again, the lineup.

The problem with the current configuration of the SKT team is that they rely too much on clid's early rhythm.

The bottom lane duo of bang and wolf is a more traditional one.

Khan's performance in the laning phase of the league can beat the top laners in the LCK division, but in the big competition, he is easily targeted by the fast-paced mode of other divisions, and with the advancement of the adc position in the league The sense of presence is getting weaker and weaker, which leads to bang choosing more functional heroes.

Such a hero will not be able to support SKT in the later stage, and if he chooses a big core in the later stage, it will be more and more difficult for bang, who is not a line player, to cope with the current situation.

Therefore, if Li Luo is Kkoma, he will consider developing the status of Kanavi and Canna in the team's tactical system, so that the bottom lane can completely become a tool player who does not need to bear any pressure in the early stage. Both of them can be C.

It's just that in Li Luo's impression, the S9 World Championship is not a wild-core version.

……

Thorn Bird's difficulty in facing the BLG team is just a small episode.

Although this kind of exciting feeling of winning the game in the end makes fans a little uneasy, as long as they don't lose, fans are always happy.

And with the end of the intercontinental game for about two weeks, Thorn Bird's exploration of the version has also reached a higher level.

Especially when they played against RNG on July 7, Thorn Bird took out the wild death song to assist Pike's alternative system, and directly used these two heroes to kill the game.

Xiangguo had a good time playing that day. Although Pike has been in the K head all the time, it is quite rare for him to play in the jungle position with an output of nearly [-] in a game.

But besides being happy, Xiangguo also has some doubts.

Although Thorn Bird's tactics are changeable, because Xiangguo itself is a rhythmic jungler, Thorn Bird has hardly tried the wild core style of play.

Even when Xiangguo gets a hero like Nightmare who needs to farm and develop, his role in the team is more functional.

Heroes such as Death Song are more popular in the ranks, but they have never been used in the arena.

This thing is a wild nuclear hero through and through.

With a temperament like Xiangguo, if he is given a platform that needs his C and his teammates assist him, he will certainly be very happy.

Could it be that he planned to make him feel better when he faced up to his old club that abandoned him?
Or...does this day have any special meaning?

Xiangguo didn't understand.

Li Luo also saw Xiangguo's doubts, but he just smiled and said nothing.

July 7, this day was indeed very special for Xiangguo before it was reborn.

What Li Luo didn't know was that it was his "unintentional" move that caused many teams who had the chance to enter the playoffs to have a bit of a headache for the Thorn Bird's tactical reserves.

They just watched Uzi's Wheel Mom lose two-thirds of his HP after taking Death Song's ultimate move.

The damage was exaggerated.

Other teams have also started to take out Death Song as a jungler one after another, and the effect is relatively good.

But when FPX took out Olaf for the first time to deal with Death Song, the road of Death Song jungler seemed to be blocked.

Facing a hero like Olaf who rushes to his face, the existence of Death Song is naturally more embarrassing. After all, if this thing encounters Olaf in the wild in the early stage, once it is slowed down by the axe, it will definitely hand over Flash.

……

Time flies fast.

In the blink of an eye, the LPL is approaching the playoffs.

This time point is rather delicate, because when the playoffs of each major region are approaching, it also means that the general direction of the World Championship version will be finalized.

This is what countless teams care about.

And this general direction can basically be finalized when the announcement of version 9.16 comes out.

When the news came out, most League of Legends players didn't pay much attention.

After all, for the vast majority of players, every version update does not affect their matchmaking, or their success in the silver division.

Of course, the official version announcement of the League of Legends will not be read. Only when wegame clicks on the rune with one click, the players will know that the hero they originally wanted to play has been strengthened or weakened.

But the version is always the most sensitive for professional players.

The Thorn Birds had a small meeting when the version was updated.

In the same way, many teams in the LPL chose to hold a meeting tonight.

There is no other reason, that is, the impact of the version on the major teams is really too great.

Especially for those teams that are qualified to enter the World Championship, this version update really cast a cloud of haze on their hearts.

"This...is a little uncomfortable. The hero was redone before the World Championship version, and judging from the status of this hero, he must be a bit of a supermodel. Shouldn't he be directly banned like S5's Tetsuo?"

Xiang Guo frowned and said.

The first change in patch 9.16 is Pantheon's rework.

After the rework, Pan Sen has no passive shield on the surface, which weakens his ability to resist towers.

But the E skill can also resist the damage of the defensive tower, which is too bug.

The passive has also been changed to superimposed layers to increase the skill effect and damage attributes, especially to strengthen W, and follow up with A three times after stunning the enemy. The number of layers of black cut should not be too simple.

This means that Pantheon is no longer a pure laning hero with some weak ribs, and it has also become one of the heroes that can play in the late stage, because it has tankiness, and it seems that it can no longer use those extreme armor-piercing equipment.

"Yes, not only Pantheon has been reworked, but the changes to other heroes are also very troublesome."

Xiye also nodded slightly and said, "The Tsar has been shaved, the pig girl has been shaved, and even Ezreal has been shaved. Among these heroes, the Tsar is better. I didn't play much at first, but the pig girl has two consecutive heroes. The weakening of the version still affects us, and Ezreal..."

"There is also the aircraft, the basic attack power has been weakened by 5 points, and the growth attribute has also been reduced by 0.5. This weakening is already very large. If it is not strengthened before the World Championship version, it basically means that the World Championship will not be seen."

Li Luo's addition made the atmosphere in the venue even more dignified.

Ezreal is the hero who produced the most in the Thorn Bird Summer Split.

Because this hero is too comprehensive, for other teams, it would be embarrassing to be a bp when facing the Thorn Bird. Usually, they will choose a hero that they can't deal with at all, and then release Ezreal to give the Thorn Bird , in order to try to weaken Li Luo's carry ability.

After all, no matter how strong Li Luo is, it's impossible to hit all the skills like opening a lock.

And choose Ezreal, and then press the exclusive hero Karma that matches with it, which will greatly weaken Ezreal's suppression during the laning phase.

The Thorn Bird didn't care about this either. Li Luo put the team's upper middle field in the first place when formulating the follow-up tactics.

The World Championship version is undoubtedly another key version of the Nakano core.

Now that the results of the version came out, it confirmed Li Luo's memory even more.

adc, further weakened.

Ezreal's E skill arcane leap In the update of this version, the CD of level 1 E skill has been increased from 19 seconds to 25 seconds.

This was no longer an ordinary knife, this knife almost hit Ezreal's main artery.

I don't know how much the fault tolerance rate in the early and mid-term has been reduced.

Ezreal is no longer the darling in the World Championship, so who can become the darling?
Wheel Mom has also been greatly weakened in this version. It can be said that the two major systems of the Thorn Bird have been directly abolished.

Li Luo thought about it carefully, it seemed that there were only two mainstream AD heroes left in this World Championship.

Kasha and Xayah.

Then once these two things are pressed by the opponent, he has to choose from the remaining flat ADs. In addition to the feature that everything can appear in the bottom lane of this version, the position of ADC can be said to be a little bit neglected. The state of being abolished.

In the recent games, most of the teams facing Thorn Bird will choose to abandon the targeting of ad in the first three bans, and focus on killing Karma and cats.

Now that the cats are also peeled, they just need to ban Karma.

In the world competition, Pan Sen was a fixed ban on the red side, which Li Luo was very impressed with.

In other words, if the opponent is on the blue side and does not need to bear the fixed ban, one Karma, one Kai'Sa, and then grab Xayah can block Thorn Bird's bottom lane from the perspective of the version.

This is actually quite scary.

If this is the case, there is actually no need to attract the attention of Thorn Bird and other LPL teams.

After all, everyone is on the same starting line, and there are still about two months to face this World Championship. In theory, there is no problem in allowing the team to get familiar with the general direction of the World Championship version in two months. It takes one and a half months to get familiar with the version, and half a month to practice the strong heroes of the version, which is completely enough for professional players.

But the real problem is that the LCK uses version 9.16 in the playoffs.

But LPL uses 9.15.

9.16 and 9.15, don't look at just a small version difference.

But the content and the direction of team training between the two, the gap is as big as a gap.

After 9.16, there will be two or three small version changes until the World Championship. According to past experience, the hero enhancement will be the main focus, so that more heroes will have the opportunity to appear in the World Championship.

Even if there are heroes weakened, there will be no one-knife hacking to death.

The LPL playoffs are a full version behind the LCK playoffs.

This means that if the LPL team that has the ability to enter the World Championship wants to qualify for the World Championship, it must practice according to the 9.15 version, but in this way, there will be a huge separation between the 9.16 version and 9.15 Feeling, because these two versions are two completely different emphases.

If the tactical system of the World Championship version is prepared in advance, it is very likely that they will be eliminated early in the competition among the major teams in the LPL playoffs.

This makes people have to think of a sentence that the director of the factory once said.

I'm already working on the MSI counterpart.

The result of that time was also obvious. After studying it, I decided not to go.

You can not have it both ways.

If you really wait until you get a place in the World Championship, and then prepare the content of the World Championship version, the time will be too tight.

"Must be double-threaded to enter."

Li Luo sighed.

After being reborn and experiencing this scene, Li Luo understood why before the rebirth, IG was still the IG that relied entirely on personal ability in the World Championship, and RNG was still the RNG that was too slow to comprehend the version.

Under such circumstances, IG, which is not good at operation, and RNG, which is relatively good at operation but has poor adaptability to the version, have a serious sense of separation from the version.

On the contrary, FPX's unconstrained style, tactical system and hero selection have always been different from the mainstream heroes of the version.

In addition to the personal factors of the players, the fragmentation of the version this time is also one of the key reasons.

In theory, is this fair?

This is not fair.

But where is there absolute fairness?

The Thorn Bird had to face it.

LPL also has to face it.

A faint sense of oppression hangs over the LPL competition area.

Most of the teams have started to prepare for this World Championship in full swing.

The LCK division next door is no exception.

Especially SKT.

In the second half of the summer split, Kkoma boldly used two young players who had just been introduced to the team.

And the surprises brought to him by these two teenagers are undoubtedly huge.

This makes Kkoma's ambitions for this world championship expand infinitely!

Thanks for the comfort, old man, I will come out.

The day after tomorrow, I will return to NMG's hometown. The house has been renovated for Xiaosi. There is no rent, and the cost of living is also low. I can stay at home quietly for a while, with no distractions, and write well.
