LOL: This man is too persuasive!

Chapter 413 World Championship Preview

EDG Club.

After winning the summer split, the club also gave the players a seven-day holiday.

The Korean players in the team did not take this opportunity to return home to Hanming Kingdom, but all stayed at the EDG club.

In fact, the reason is very simple.

The S8 World Championship will be held in the Great Cold Kingdom.

Anyway, EDG has firmly entered the World Championship.

There is no need to rush back to China to see family members in the past few days. We are all adults and our career is the top priority.

Especially Scout, who only played two games in the regular season during the summer split.

It can be said that he is sitting on the cold bench.

The reason why he was allowed to play two games was mainly because according to the league's regulations, if he does not play in the regular season, he will not be able to play in the playoffs.

In the playoff version, EDG's starting mid laner Hae Sung-min's warriors, AD, and functional mid lane mage are actually no longer popular in the version.

The great core mage and the traditional mage are back again.

Therefore, when EDG is far ahead in wins and is guaranteed to play one less BO5 game, it is understandable that Scout will have a substitute spot in the last few games of the playoffs.

Of course, a seven-day holiday is actually quite long.

After all, according to legal holidays, these seven days may be pieced together from the weekend or any day in the next month.

Furthermore,
Since there are many tour groups in Qi Province, many college students can transform into special forces on weekends and travel back and forth between Qi Province and the Great Cold Kingdom.

If Scout feels homesick, he has time to go back and visit.

Not going back means that his heart is definitely looking forward to the World Championship!
Similarly, even though Hai Chengmin had a holiday after the spring season this year, his vacation was relatively short because he went to Europe to play in the MSI, and he has not returned to Hanming Country for more than half a year.

He had already booked a flight for this seven-day holiday.

But after learning that Scout chose to stay at the base, Hae Sungmin also refunded the ticket.

Although he said he had lost a lot of money due to the airline's vicious refund rules, he didn't feel bad.

In contrast, Hae Sungmin also understands the importance of the World Championship better!
"deal!"

"It's settled, it's settled!"

Early this morning, Hae Chengmin ran down from the second floor with his cell phone in hand, shouting excitedly to everyone.

"deal?"

Looking at Hae Chengmin with a toothbrush stuffed in his mouth and white foam still coming out of his mouth, Jiang Zhun couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's the deal?"

"The version of the World Championship is decided!"

Hae Sung Min was very excited.

but,

Due to the difference in air pressure generated while speaking, all the foam that was originally at the corners of his mouth was sucked into his mouth.
vomit--

Cough!

Hae Chengmin hurriedly leaned over and coughed, and everyone in the training room couldn't help laughing when they saw his baboon-like posture.

fortunately.

There is no shortage of drinking fountains in the training room.

Zhao Lijie, who was sitting next to him, quickly took a disposable paper cup, filled it with water and handed it to Hae Chengmin.

After a while of fussing, he finally recovered.

The factory director also took advantage of the situation and asked with a smile:
"How do you know the version of the World Championship has been decided?"

"The training team hasn't received any news yet!"

"Here, here!" Hae Chengmin quickly picked up his phone and pointed the screen at the factory director.

The factory director took a look and saw that it was the interface of Little Bluebird.

Although he uses this software, the purpose of using it is completely different from Hae Chengmin.

Thinking of the people from Haicheng Civilian Dahan Ming Kingdom, he was not surprised why the other party would read news about the League of Legends event on it.

After focusing his eyes, the factory director saw the above tweet clearly:

--------------

Cine: "Is 8.17 the World Patch?"

Richard Henkel: "nadda, 8.19"

--------------

"Uh, is it 8.17 or 8.19?" The factory director touched the little fly at the corner of his mouth and frowned slightly.

Scout, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly poked his head over to join in the fun.

"Seungmin, do you think English will be automatically translated into Chinese, or will the translated Korean be able to be understood by the coach?"

"Ah?" Hae Chengmin was stunned for two seconds, then realized something and quickly explained to the factory director:
"There is an anchor from the European and American divisions who should be the anchor, right?"

“I asked the Riot staff if the version of the World Championship was 8.17, and the Riot staff said it was 8.19.”

"In the past, all the news about the competition was released by this person named Richard Henkel. It should be very accurate."

Hae Sungmin quickly explained.

The factory director also nodded and said: "I guess it should be version 8.19. The two playoff versions of 8.15 and 8.16 are definitely the trend of changes, so the World Championship version will definitely not be finalized in version 8.17, at least it must be used. Version 8.18.”

"But what I didn't expect was that this time version 8.18 only made balance adjustments, and Riot would choose version 8.19 as the world championship version."

"I still know a little bit about English."

"Just now version 8.17 was followed by the word World. I know this word means world, so I asked if version 8.17 is the World Championship version."

While talking about Riot Games’ intentions for the recent changes, the director explained why he said version 8.17 was the World Championship version.

"Is such that."

"Everyone, take a rest first. We won't be exercising early this morning. After breakfast, we will go to the conference room to discuss the version. We have been studying the 8.17 version for a long time. The 8.18 version has also been online for two weeks on the Korean server. It is estimated that 8.19 The version should be launched on the Korean server in two days.”

"Wait a minute, we are mainly talking about our opinions and guessing what aspects the 8.19 version will affect the 8 and 18 versions."

The playoff version is actually a preview of the world championship version.

Of course, the World Championship version will definitely have major changes compared to the playoff version, and there will even be a complete contrast in a certain lane.

For example, in the playoff version, the bottom lane mainly plays the late-game core, but in the world championship version, Riot designers are likely to directly change the bottom lane to the laning version.

As a result, the team's style of play and various tactics in the playoffs, as well as the players' laning strategies, will undergo great changes.

In effect, a version can be thought of as a test paper.

The players and coaches of the team are the ones who take this test paper.

Their understanding of the hero pool version and the way they play in the game determine how many points they can get on this test paper.

Of course, just like normal exams, where you memorize a lot of questions, you can also use the same method to understand the version.

That is to find the answer to the version through various methods in advance, summarize the formula that you think is the most correct, and then practice it in the game.

This is the purpose of the coaching staff and training staff.

Times create heroes, and those who conform to the version become kings.

If you want to win the championship, the paper strength of the team's players is an indispensable part, but also finding the answer to the version to adapt to the version or finding the optimal solution that is compatible with your team and the version is the best way to compete for the championship.

This is also the reason why Riot has not announced the World Championship version during this period, but teams in various major regions have begun to sprint towards the S Championship.

"Mala Xiangguo, can you speak less in post-match interviews? Just these words."

"It seems like your cultural level is very low."

Sister is looking at her phone. When he browsed Station B, he saw the host's interview with the EDG players after the LPL Summer Split finals.

"The sound at the scene was so loud, how could I have the time to think slowly about how to speak?"

"Oh, it's true."

"I was already obsessed with breaking into e-sports. I could study. I went to study a long time ago. I insist on doing these interviews."

"It's really annoying."

Malaxiangguo couldn't help but shake his head. He had a feeling that his head was as big as Yu Wenbo's.

"We are e-sports players, not gamers."

"I saw in the forum a few days ago that faker would always hold a book in his hand when he went out."

"He has such good grades and is also keen on learning. You should emulate him."

Meikou looked at Mala Xiangguo shaking his head constantly, disconnected the Bluetooth headset, and deliberately let out what Mala Xiangguo said when he was interviewed:

"In the World Championships, let's play well like this."

"I feel we are very strong and can compete for the championship."

"Well, that's all I have to say."

Mala Xiangguo, after hearing his interview, couldn't help but face turning like a red-skinned duck.

He quickly changed the topic: "The only professional in the League of Legends I know is Sima Laothi. He likes to read books. It seems that he likes to read some science fiction novels about the three-body problem?"

"I've never seen anyone else like reading."

"And the old thief Sima only reads books when he has nothing to do and doesn't want to look at his phone."

"There is no one like Faker who always holds a book whenever he goes out. This is definitely a character creation. If he really thinks that my last name is his."

"Maybe they are really reading a book." Jiejie couldn't help but joked: "After all, SKT has failed so badly this season that they didn't even make it to the World Championship."

"Perhaps Faker was reading too hard and the team's training rhythm couldn't keep up."

"You're so embarrassing." Jiang Zhun smiled and said, "I've been paying attention to lck."

“The most important thing about Skt is that it’s not good in the jungle.”

"Their team's top laner is very abstract. I believe everyone has experienced it when we played in the intercontinental competition. Really, if I ask my sister to dunk against him, I don't think he can beat him."

"As for Xiao Hei, he is not as good as Xiao Peanut."

"Although the strength of the bottom duo has declined, their condition is still there and there is no problem in winning every game."

"That's right." Mala Xiangguo continued: "But this year, SKT did not enter the World Championship, so I feel particularly relieved."

"Every time I see the name of this team, I feel a little panicked."

Malaxiangguo couldn't help but shake his head, "This year in the LCK division, only KT can compete. Several other teams are not very good. I feel that our hope of winning the championship is quite high."

"What's big is that we win the championship in the division!"

"Because this year's champion will still be our EDG!"

……

"EDG? It's just G in a different place!"

"The reason why they won the championship last year was because the competition they played domestically will be played in the World Championships in South Korea this year. I don't believe they can still win the championship."

At the same time, RNG club Yan Junze shouted angrily:

"The changes in version 8.18 are very beneficial to our team!"

"For example, the amount of healing received when Sword Demon's E skill attacks non-heroic units is reduced, then the number of recharges of E skill is reduced, and the cooldown of R skill's ultimate move increases at low levels."

"In this way, the early stage of the hero Sword Demon is considered useless."

"Furthermore, the charge of the E skill has been reduced, which means that his ability to cooperate with the jungler to fight guests has become weaker."

"Then the veteran driver will be enhanced, the sword girl will be enhanced, and the promise hand will be enhanced."

"These heroes are not to say that Jiang Zhun is not good at playing, but compared to his unique skills, they do not belong to the ranks of unique skills."

Everyone in the RNG club has also received the news that the World Championship version is 8.19, and are currently discussing possible changes.

"Oh, the World Championship must be open to the outside world! It hasn't even started yet, and you are asking EDG to G in another place." Zhi looked at Yan Junze's face and couldn't help but mocked: "Why are you so cruel?"

"How can I not hate it!"

"Another summer loss to them in the final."

"It's been two years in a row. Why is it so difficult to win the season championship?"

Yan Junze said a little irritably: "If EDG can compete with him in this year's foreign competition so fiercely, I will be willing to meet their champion in the finals!"

"Meet EDG in the finals?"

"Ha ha!"

"The qualifying rounds of the World Championship haven't even started yet, and you're already thinking about reaching the finals."

Kasa turned off his two-dimensional mobile game and teased Yan Junze with very locomotive words.

"Ahhhh!"

"you."

"I know that the World Championships must be open to the outside world."

"Didn't the alliance set up some kind of training group?"

"When are you going to training?"

Yan Junze became calm after venting his inner dissatisfaction.

"Version 8.19 was updated on September 9th. Our version is estimated to be about 26 days later than him."

"So according to the official itinerary, we should go to Dahanming Country for training at the end of September."

"It's good for us to play in the group stage and have more than 20 days of preparation period."

"It's a bit difficult for IG to enter the playoffs. The competition will start on 10.1!"

He looked at his cell phone and explained like a Bai Xiaosheng.

"IG?"

"There is no need to pay attention to this team."

"Anyway, everyone will not be familiar with the version by then, so we will probably still play according to the 8.16 and 8.17 versions."

"They only know how to fight, like crazy people."

"You will definitely not suffer a loss if you encounter a weak team."

"It's not like I haven't played in the playoffs before."

Yan Junze shook his head.

There are two top laners he "hates" the most right now. The last names of these two top laners are Jiang.

And the playing styles are also relatively similar.

Throughout this year's league, he was abused countless times by this big Jiang and Xiao Jiang.

Therefore, after hearing their two names, I felt particularly disgusted.

Of course, this is simply because he can't beat him.

On the other side, Coach Heart is quite busy.

Because as the version is finalized, major teams will also start scheduling training matches.
