Dean, stop being C, your teammates are not worthy!

Chapter 221 - Version Targeting, Inflated IG

"Three to zero SKT, labor and management blew up the game and shut down the server!!"

"Three to zero SKT, it's not too much to book a champion, right?"

"Hahaha, are Flash Wolf and CLG ready?"

"Is there a runner-up battle tomorrow?"

"LPL is really getting stronger!!"

Weibo, Tieba, and forums are overwhelmingly praising IG and Yuan Shen.

Three to zero LCK teams, the first time, in S4, OMG won the Najin White Shield! !

That game is still broadcast by many OB anchors day and night, and the popularity is almost 40,000 to 50,000 every night!

What an exciting thing it is to see the Korean team 3-0!

This time, 3-0 SKT blocked SKT from the semi-finals!

SKT, not even the runner-up! !

This is the first time that SKT has been blocked from the finals since participating in a world-class event! !

S3 World Championship, SKT champion.

S5 mid-season, SKT was runner-up.

S5 World Championship, SKT runner-up.

This is the first time! !

Such a record is enough to make the LPL audience go crazy again! !

Of course, there are also other voices amid this carnival.

"One thing to say is that SKT's top and jungle have just been reorganized and have not been able to adapt well enough. It can be seen from their losing streak in the group stage that their state is not very good. The team has obvious flaws and problems. You should not underestimate the LCK team too much. ! Like the LCK regular season king ROX! ”

"Yes, it can be seen that SKT still has the strength. Other LPL teams may not be able to win."

These are some rational LPL fans, but unfortunately, they did not listen to his advice. Instead, many people labeled them as Han Za, thinking that he was criticizing LPL for winning.

The storm of 3-0 SKT is intensifying. Not only the LPL is blowing it, but fans all over the world, including some LCK fans, are blowing it!

The first division in the world! !

If you win the finals, you will have two consecutive MSI championships, a World Championship and an All-Star Championship. Since 2015, LPL has won all world-class championships!

This trend of public opinion is even more intense than when we won MSI last year, and even more intense than when we won S2019! !

It’s not that this year’s MSI is more valuable than the Series S, but it’s a matter of accumulation.

After defeating SKT, in everyone's eyes, the championship is already within their grasp.

Once they win the MSI championship, IG can declare a stage victory this year!

…

After defeating SKT three to zero, everyone at IG had another carnival.

Whether it's FW or CLG, they don't take it to heart.

However, it is still relatively restrained.

Last year's IG victory was an increase in the version. It can be said that IG got the right time, place and people.

If last year had not been a version where tank warriors were the king and the top laner was king, the process and results would have been completely different. No one can say who would win.

But this time is different. This time, it is a complete victory for the team!

The understanding of the game beyond the version and the familiarity with each player allow Yuan Shen not only to become stronger himself, but also to lead the entire team to become stronger together!

Yuan Shen put forward many suggestions on various versions of powerful heroes, as well as tactical systems, as well as details of some heroes and combos.

After leading the team to shake hands, Yuan Shen saw Faker again. This time, although his expression was slumped, he did not cry. Instead, he stood up, smiled and extended his hand to him.

"next time……"

From Faker's eyes, Yuan Shen saw a determined light.

Yuan Shen nodded, "I'll wait for you."

"must!"

Faker said in the simple Chinese he learned.

Yuan Shen also knows that with Faker's character that regards the game as his life, he will naturally not lose his pursuit of the championship.

In this year's World Championship, SKT, which has completed its run-in in the upper jungle and has become more and more vengeful, should become stronger and make a comeback...

With such competitors rushing from behind, we really cannot relax for a moment.

Arriving at Bang's place, this boy who had lost dozens of kilograms compared to last year was crying this time. He was crying profusely.

When he saw Yuan Shen coming, he quickly wiped away his tears, stood up with red eyes and shook hands with Yuan Shen, showing a stubborn expression.

He didn't say harsh words, but the increasingly passionate fire of revenge in his eyes conveyed what he wanted to say.

Hold back your words and wait for me...

Rookie had a strange expression on his face. He carefully observed the reactions of everyone in SKT and discovered something surprising.

It seems that these people look at Yuan Shen a little strangely...

A lifelong enemy? ?

The next day, Flash Wolves faced CLG.

In terms of pre-match predictions, many people are optimistic about Flash Wolves. After all, this team has upset IG and SKT in the group stage, and its strength is high.

The predicted score given by the commentators in each major competition area is three to one.

After a day of fierce fighting, the result disappointed them.

The score is correct, but the direction is reversed...

CLG defeated Flash Wolves three to one.

In the first game, Wolf King Kasa once again exerted his strength. The Flash Wolves' invincible rhythm in the first twenty minutes directly destroyed CLG. The Flash Wolves ended the first game in a devastating manner, and CLG had almost no power to fight back. Many people think Flash Wolves are pretty good, and the next one should be 3-0.

Audiences always think that the winning team is much better than the losing team.

But in today's professional competitions, there are more and more upsets where the weak defeat the strong.

Among them, Riot designers have put in a lot of effort.

As an event operator and game official, Riot Games naturally does not want to see a dominant player. It is best to take turns to be the champion. There should be suspense in every game. It should not always be a battle between China and South Korea, or the LCK dominating the game.

To this end, Riot designers have made many changes to narrow the gap between strong teams and weak teams.

Limiting the number of real eyes and fake eyes that can be carried weakens vision tactics in disguise and weakens LCK-style operations.

The balance and weakening of hero attributes can also make the former one-on-five heroes no longer glorious, weakening the impact of players' personal strength on the game.

Several enhancements to the attributes of defensive towers have made it increasingly difficult for strong teams to jump over towers.

These changes also blur the boundaries between strong teams and weak teams, making the game more suspenseful.

After the disastrous defeat of CLG in the first game, many people thought that Flash Wolves were going to the finals.

However, from the perspective of the CLG players, it was just that they did not handle the details in the early stage and did not fully understand the Flash Wolves' playing habits to allow the opposing jungler to take off.

Starting from the second game, the game trend completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

In the next three consecutive games, Flash Wolves were crushed by CLG.

CLG showed the rare operational ability of North American teams, perfectly limiting Casa's offensive rhythm. The Flash Wolves, who were caught on guard, were defeated without the ability to fight back.

In the post-match interview, when asked how they viewed the upcoming finals with IG, the CLG players modestly stated that IG is a strong team and their odds of winning are very low, but they will not give up and will try their best. , take the game seriously as a challenger.

MSI's schedule is very short, far less formal than the S games.

There is only three days of rest between the semi-finals and the final.

The day before the finals, Riot Games announced changes to the new version.

Version 6.9.

The first change is the removal of the Enchanted Devourer jungle knife and its replacement by the Enchanted Blood Blade, a very useless jungle knife.

At the same time, the Sheep Knife was redone, becoming more expensive and stronger.

At the same time, for heroes with jungle knives, the money they get from killing lane creeps is reduced by half.

"This change to the jungle knife..."

Everyone in IG couldn't help but turn their attention to Yuan Shen.

The reason for Riot’s new version update has been found, and it’s him!

"It's my fault..."

Yuan Shen spread his hands.

Three to zero SKT, the shock caused was really too great.

Riot Games naturally does not want the LPL or even IG to dominate.

It is foreseeable that IG will suffer from targeted weakening tailored by Riot!

Only when a hundred flowers bloom can the vitality of League of Legends be extended.

However, Yuan Shen expected that the fist would weaken the wild core.

No matter how much it is weakened, the MSI mid-season version is doomed.

In the finals, they can still use wild core play.

No matter how anxious the fist is, there is nothing he can do.

This is not a bug and can be fixed urgently.

Speaking of which, after he used it once, the Wild Core style of play spread all over the world in just one night.

In the past two days, more than 60% of the RANK games on major servers have been wild core lineups.

The side that uses wild core has a winning rate of astonishing 68%! !

This winning rate is too high! !

From the strongest king to the heroic bronze five, the average winning rate is 68%.

This means that the side that uses wild core routines in high-end games has at least an 80% winning rate, which is too disruptive to the balance.

This ultimate move is enough to add a wild core system to the tactical reserves of all teams.

This system is so easy to learn. As long as you know how to play in the passerby game, you can get started immediately. There is no difficulty at all.

…

Everyone at IG arrived at the competition venue very early, did custom training in the backstage lounge, and did some warm-up exercises.

Yuan Shen sat on a chair, meticulously practicing last-hitting and combos in the customization. Xiao Ming sat behind with potato chips in his arms and said while eating: "There are so many people today. I want to think about the interview after winning the championship today." say what……"

Yuan Shen rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Do you still want to think about what to choose as this year's champion skin?"

"Forehead……"

Ming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Speaking of which, MSI is also an official event. Why not give an MSI exclusive skin? But last year's champion skin will be released after this MSI, right?"

Ming has some longing.

"..."

Yuan Shen curled his lips, "I don't have your skin, I just want a hammer!"

After winning against SKT, the team's atmosphere was a little loose, or inflated.

Just like yesterday, although high-intensity training is not recommended before the game, training to maintain hand feel is still needed. Generally, daily training will be maintained for about five hours, neither long nor short.

However, except for Yuan Shen and TheShy, everyone else was a bit lazy yesterday.

It is common to cut off one or two hours in five hours to watch girl groups dancing, catch up on anime, and sleep in.

However, this is also understandable.

The few people here are not too old.

This inflated mentality still has a big impact on everyone.

Although Yuan Shen does not think that he will lose the finals, this kind of casual atmosphere is still undesirable.
