LOL: Do you have any regrets?

Chapter 349 Group of Death!

In the next week, before people from other divisions came over, the three LPL qualified teams, EDG, RNG and WE, began to arrange training matches with each other.

At the same time, in order to gather four teams so that everyone can play training games at the same time, WE was also called.

WE is weaker than EDG, RNG, and IG, but it is a good training object.

At the same time, EDG's champion skin was also launched, and the first day of its launch happened to be the weekend.

It was because of the launch of the champion skin that the highest number of people online this month was set.

Not only that, the store page even has a BUG because of this!Players cannot enter.

This incident alarmed TX, after all, this is a great opportunity to make money.

After half an hour of repairing, this BUG was solved!

So everyone suddenly discovered that it turns out that the bugs in the game can be solved so quickly!

Before there were bugs in the game, it usually took several days, or even ten days and a half months before someone came to solve them.

Now it's all right, the half hour related to money will be done directly.

Everyone has learned what is "money can turn ghosts".

Now that the new version has been released, after a week of training, everyone in the LPL feels the pressure!

This pressure does not come from the opponent's strength or something, but from the version!
In fact, Chen Luoyang was already ready to be targeted by the authorities. After all, every time the version was changed, it would target the previous champion.

But I didn't expect that the officials would go too far this time, and many heroes that LPL is good at can't be played directly.

The most notable is Kled, whose basic attributes have been cut a lot, and now he can't beat anyone in the lane.

If the laning is not stable at all, then don't think about supporting things.

There is also Qing Gang Ying who just came out not long ago. Many passers-by are still practicing now, and they are not familiar with it.

The official weakening of heroes is often done by watching the games on the field.

And for some heroes, especially those with high difficulty in operation, the performance of the field and rank may be completely opposite.

Qinggangying is such a hero, ever since it was developed by Chen Luoyang to play as a top laner.

It is very popular in the arena and RANK, but the difficulty of this hero's operation lies here.

So RANK's winning rate has always been quite low.

But the game is different, after all, it is operated by top professional players.

In addition, Chen Luoyang's style of play had already provided them with a template, which led to Qing Gangying's very high winning rate in the game.

So the official cut it down with a knife and directly abolished it.

Chen Luoyang used it in a training match, and found that there was no way to fight in the lane, and even if the opponent was a little stronger, he couldn't make up for it.

The encounter between Kelie and Qinggangying is just a microcosm, and the heroes that LPL is good at have been cut all over.

The name is for the balance of the game, directly to increase the difficulty of LPL.

For a competitive game, if the championship is monopolized by one competition area for a long time, it is not good for the development of the game itself.

For the officials, what they consider is naturally the development of the entire game. As for which division can win the championship, that is not their concern
No way, the three LPL teams can only choose to develop a new version of their own style of play.

The current version of the top lane has been greatly strengthened, and the mid lane and top lane have been greatly weakened.

The enhanced equipment on the road is tank equipment, and the enhanced heroes are also tank heroes.

The middle lane is a little bit better, and traditional mages can play.

Of course, Galio, Malzahar, and Fan Mom, who are more functional and supportive mid laners, have also been strengthened.

This has a great impact on EDG, although Ah Shui's Kerry ability is also very strong.

However, he is not stable enough. Whether it is team play or laning, he can often play wonderful operations, but he also makes a lot of mistakes.

In this way, it is difficult for EDG to place all bets on Ah Shui.

After all, the whole team can't watch Ah Shui's state, and Kerry's game style must be found in the top and middle lanes.

Especially for Chen Luoyang, there were only tanks on the road now, and it was not impossible for tank heroes to compete against Kerry.

But the difficulty is several levels higher, and the effect is much worse.

It's not just the middle lane that is affected, the factory manager is also very popular with heroes.

The strong junglers in the new version are all tank types, and even the wine barrels produce meat instead of wine barrels.

If it was the former factory director, he would definitely be very happy, this seems to be his version.

But the situation is different now. Now the factory manager is used to the carnivorous style of play and the attack.

Let him play development at this time, he is really not used to playing late game.

As a result, the entire LPL competition area is a bit confused. If Nakano and Ueno's style of play is to fit the version, they will have to change it from head to toe.

The amount of work to do this is too great, and the current style of competition is not formed in one or two months.

At least it took about two years of accumulation to get what it is now.

It is impossible to change it in a short time.

With the LEC and LCS coming to the LPL, the situation has changed again, and now it is necessary to arrange scrims with teams from their regions.

This is also a good opportunity for Chen Luoyang. Maybe those in the European and American divisions who like to work hard can play new tricks.

At the same time, news that the LPL training game is not going well, and the coaching staff is struggling has spread to the entire network.

That would naturally be ridiculed. After all, LPL is gaining momentum now, and LCK fans have been suppressed for more than two years.

After finally catching an opportunity, they didn't even need to verify the authenticity of the news, and started celebrating directly.

While the bad news came out from the LPL, the good news continued on the LCK side.

The coaches of the three teams representing LCK, GRF, DWG, and SKT, said that this is the version of the LCK, and they feel that their own division is the biggest dark horse.

In fact, saying this kind of thing is nothing in itself, it can be seen as a kind of encouragement.

However, these words "coincidentally" appeared after the unfavorable news from the LPL side, so the situation is different.

But LPL didn't want to argue with them about such meaningless things, so they didn't respond.

If LPL does not respond, LCK fans will be even crazier. In their view, this is an admission!
A month passed quickly, and the S game was approaching. Because this time the game was held in China, everyone in EDG was not in a hurry, it was just a few hours' drive away.

A week before the start of the game, the draw ceremony began.

This draw is to determine the group stage grouping.

As the representative of the LPL division, Chen Luoyang was arranged to participate in the lottery.

This time he really wanted to refuse, after all, he had already been there once.

The first time this kind of thing is fresh, the second time it is troublesome.

Chen Luoyang originally wanted to give up the opportunity to the factory manager, but the factory manager said nothing.

There was no other way, Chen Luoyang had no choice but to go alone.

At the same time, the European and American divisions also sent representatives, Cap King and Pilsen.

As for the representative of the LCK division, Chen Luoyang originally thought it was a faker, but unexpectedly, this time it was replaced by a newcomer, Chaowei!

Although Griffin is the LCK summer champion, after all, SKT has won the S game champion.

Chen Luoyang was very surprised by LCK's approach. He reckoned that LCK was really determined to train newcomers instead of old people.

This is also understandable, after all, these old people have caused LCK to lose two S championships.

When he arrived at the lottery scene, Chen Luoyang had also dressed up a bit today. He looked handsome in a suit and leather shoes!

Coming to the backstage lounge, Chen Luoyang saw three familiar faces as soon as he walked in.

I saw the hat king and Bilson sitting opposite each other, and Chaowei sat between them.

The three of them didn't have much conversation.

The European and American divisions have always regarded each other as their biggest competitors, even feuds.

Chaowei is too young. Although it has played MSI, the influence of MSI is relatively small.

In addition, he is the kind of high-cold personality, it seems that he can't get along with the other two.

After Chen Luoyang entered, he originally wanted to find a place to sit down and wait for the staff to arrange for him to play.

As a result, before they took two steps, the hat king and Bilson turned their heads at the same time.

Seeing that it was Chen Luoyang who had come in, the two of them walked over quickly.

"Master! Hello." The Emperor Mao greeted Chen Luoyang in his not-so-fluent Chinese.

And Bilson was not to be outdone: "Master, I am your fan."

Chen Luoyang felt a little embarrassed when he saw that the two were so enthusiastic and even learned Chinese to say hello.

"Hello."

"Good."

Chen Luoyang greeted and shook hands with the two of them respectively, and then sat down on the sofa beside them at their invitation.

However, after sitting down, Chen Luoyang found that they seemed to have learned to say hello simply, and they didn't really know Chinese.

The King of Hats and Bilson seemed to want to chat with Chen Luoyang very much. Seeing that Chen Luoyang couldn't understand, they danced and danced, and their body language was arranged.

But it didn't help, and everyone still couldn't understand the language.

No way, after some attempts, Bilson and the hat king had no choice but to give up.

However, although there was no chat today, the relationship between the three of them can be seen at a glance.

In this way, Chaowei was a little embarrassed.

There is no way, he can only pretend to play with his mobile phone to hide his embarrassment.

At this moment, the staff came in and invited everyone to play.

As the host, the most convenient thing is that the staff can speak Chinese.

So Chen Luoyang didn't need to bring a translator to participate in this kind of event.

Chen Luoyang led the other three onto the stage.

When Chen Luoyang showed his face on the stage, the fans started cheering.

The host waited for the audience to quiet down before introducing them one by one.

"Welcome, champion of S5 Global Finals, champion of S6 Global Finals, S5FMVP, S6FMVP, EDG top laner, leader!"

A series of titles from Chen Luoyang were read out, and the audience was once again ebullient.

In this scenario, neither the champion nor the FMVP of the S game is eligible to be read out.

The cheers lasted for more than ten seconds before slowly subsiding.

The host continued to introduce:
"G2 mid laner, caps!"

"TSM mid laner, Bilson!"

"Griff's mid laner, chovy!"

In contrast, the noise when introducing three people is much lower.

After all, that's the reputation of the three of them, especially Chaowei, not many people know him.

After the debut session was over, Chen Luoyang and his party were arranged to the right side of the stage.

Then the host began to introduce the rules of the lottery.

The current rules are the same as in S6, four guests, each draws four balls.

Chen Luoyang was the first one. He was drawn among the No. [-] seeds in the four major competition areas.

The order in which he draws the lottery determines which team the four No. [-] seeds will be assigned to.

After the host's introduction, Chen Luoyang walked onto the stage and came to the lottery.

The audience immediately fell silent, and everyone's attention was on Chen Luoyang.

Chen Luoyang slowly reached into the lottery device, took out a lottery and spread it out for a look.

"GRF!" the host read.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Luoyang reached in and took out a spread.

Moderator: "EDG!"

In this way, EDG was placed in Group B

The remaining TSM and G2 were assigned to Group C and Group D respectively.

After Chen Luoyang drew the No. [-] seed, he walked in the direction he came from.

The hat emperor was arranged to come up.

Now the King of Hats is drawn in the No. [-] seed pool of each competition area.

As with the previous rules, the order in which he is drawn will determine the grouping of the second seed.

The King of Hats took out a lottery and spread it out for a look, only to find that FW was directly drawn!

Now FW is a seed in the LMS division.

However, because last year's results were so poor, they came to the fore in a wild-card match against the wild-card division.

However, the No. [-] seed in his competition area can only be placed in the No. [-] seed pool.

Seeing that FW was put in the same group as GRF, Chen Luoyang shook his head.

If there is another stronger player in the city in their group, then FW may not be able to qualify.

If they can't even make it to the group stage for two consecutive S games, then this division probably will come to an end.

At this time, the hat king drew the second lottery, IG!

In this way, because EDG is the No. [-] seed in Group B, and IG and EDG are in the same division, they need to be avoided in the group stage.

So IG was assigned to Group C, that is, a group with TSM.

Chen Luoyang turned his head and glanced at Bilson, only to find that Bilson was pale and seemed frightened.

There is no way, now LPL is the first division, even if IG is the second seed, the pressure he puts on is quite great.

Immediately afterwards, the King of Hats pulled out AHQ and GAM.

Chen Luoyang didn't care about these two teams. They belonged to the type who needed to see the faces of other teams if they wanted to advance.

After Cat King stepped down, Bilson stepped up.

When the two passed by, the hat emperor did not forget to give Bilson a smiling face.

The provocative flavor of this smiling face is very strong.

However, the hat king was happy for only 1 minute, and an unexpected thing happened. Bilson directly drew RNG to the G2 group.

In this way, G2 will be uncomfortable.

Chen Luoyang also took a sneak peek at the King of the Hat, and found that the King of the Horse's reaction was similar to that of Bilson just now, all in despair.

Meeting an LPL team means that it is very difficult for you to win the first place in the group.

Once you can't win the first place in the group and qualify as the second in the group, the quarterfinals will be the first in the group of other groups, which is simply hell.

Of course, this hell difficulty is relative to them. For EDG, it doesn't matter who they play against.

The only idea is to meet the LPL team later, so that the overall results of the division will be better.
