LoL: I really didn’t mess up!

In the evening of May 5th, Berlin time, Germany.

Chen Dongqing rubbed her sleepy eyes, got off the ramp, and stepped onto the ground of Berlin Brandenburg International Airport in Germany.

The MSI group stage will first start at the LCS studio in Berlin, Germany.

In the knockout stage, everyone will go to the Zenith Arena in Paris.

Using a small venue that can only accommodate 200 spectators to play the group stage, it can only be said that European fist is a bit stingy.

But fortunately, the main broadcast channel for e-sports competitions is still the Internet. As long as online live broadcasts continue, the popularity of the games will never decrease.

Chen Dongqing was thinking as he followed the queue to the airport lobby, but to his surprise, he was welcomed by countless people!

Countless fans crowded the airport pick-up hall, shouting "ilex" ID!

Chen Dongqing was a little surprised now.

He has played games abroad in the past, but he has never received such welcome treatment!

What's going on? Is this Berlin on Wuhan Line 4?

Chen Dongqing looked up and saw that most of them were locals from Berlin.

And the most annoying thing is that the audience did not shout "QG", nor did they shout the IDs of other players of QG, they all shouted ilex!

The surrounding teammates looked at the people picking up the plane and felt helpless.

Although they are both people who won the championship together in the same team, Chen Dongqing's current popularity level is no longer on the same level as them, even Uzi is far behind.

Obviously, since Chen Dongqing was officially crowned the first player in history for his second consecutive FMVP, and also won an interstellar championship, his prestige in the world of e-sports has once again increased.

The whole world loves this e-sports player who "doesn't do his job properly", and the whole world is even looking forward to seeing what ruthless activities this person can do!

If an unknown passerby saw it, he would think that some big star was back.

At this time, there were a few international students in the crowd. When they saw Chen Dongqing, they shouted excitedly in Chinese: "Brother Shu, is it a big problem to win three consecutive MSI titles?"

Chen Dongqing smiled and said: "As long as you have the hands!"

Chen Dongqing is still the same as before. He was crazier than anyone else before the game started, but became more humble after winning the game. This kind of temperament is actually the one that European and American audiences like the most.

Chen Dongqing started to act as a photo taker, giving a thumbs up, and took turns taking photos with the large number of fans at the scene, and then finally followed the team onto the bus.

Sitting in the car, I took out my phone and looked at the schedule.

Before the group stage, there is a play-in stage.

In addition to the four major divisions, the number one seeds from the remaining small divisions and wild cards are all fighting back and forth in the qualifying rounds to compete for the last two group stage spots.

Of course, the wild card teams are also ranked high and low. Chen Dongqing took a quick look at the scores and found that the dominance of Wanwan and Vietnam in the qualifying rounds was similar to QG's dominance in the main draw. Qualifying was obviously not a problem.

Chen Dongqing took advantage of the situation and clicked on the post bar again to look at the discussions among the bar friends about today's finalists.

[Vietnam’s dominance is still strong, and it is really good at playing wild cards]

[It doesn’t matter, what’s the use of being good at bullying? Every time you meet the Chinese and Korean teams, you must be filial, not even as good as the Flash Wolf]

[Indeed, no one really loses to Vietnam, right? 】

[Why don’t we talk about next week’s group stage? How do you evaluate FNC’s opening game against QG? 】

[It can only be said that European fists really have opinions on FNC. How can they let the host team directly play the defending champion on the first day? How ugly is it to lose? 】

[Is this the result of eliminating G2? 】

Chen Dongqing looked at the post with a smile on his face.

I have to say that this schedule is indeed abstract.

Even if the LPL organizes its own games, it is impossible for Tengjing to arrange a duel between China and South Korea on the first day, right? Even if the winning rate is indeed high, there is always the possibility of overturning, which would not look good.

A suicide schedule like FNC is indeed a bit abstract.

But for QG, this is certainly a good thing.

The bus slowly drove into the hotel parking lot. Chen Dongqing got off the bus with a backpack on his back and glanced at the setting sun on the horizon.

In fact, Chen Dongqing was already very sleepy, but in order to get over the jet lag, he did not go to bed directly. Instead, he went to have a meal first, then arranged things such as the training room, and stayed up until nine o'clock in the evening. He finally took a shower and lay down on the bed, falling asleep instantly.

May 6th.

The MSI play-in stage finally comes to an end today.

In the final qualifying round, the Vietnamese team EVS and the Wanwan team FW undoubtedly advanced and successfully joined the four major regions in the group stage.

This can indeed be called a reunion. After all, in the past two years of MSI, the group stage has always been played in these six divisions. The other wild cards have been blocked by Vietnam and have never entered.

At the same time, QG finally started formal training at MSI.

"It's still the same as before. Before training starts, let's get familiar with this version." Banbazi connected the USB flash drive to his computer and cut out the prepared PPT on the projector.

"The playoffs are using version 8.8, which is two versions ahead of the 8.6 version in the playoffs, but in fact there is not much update content, so it will be finished soon."

Banbazi said as he turned down the PPT page.

The first thing that catches your eye is an important update.

Kai'Sa, the daughter of the Void, has received huge epic level enhancements!

The attack distance is increased by 25 yards, the passive value is increased, and the Q value is increased. Although the value of W is slightly reduced, because the passive value is increased, W is not weakened, but enhanced!

E and R are no exception, their values ​​have all increased!

In fact, in the previous version, as Kai'Sa players' proficiency increased, this hero's proficiency was gradually approaching 50%, indicating that this hero's strength is not lagging behind and he is a qualified hero.

But the designers didn't seem to be aware of this situation, and were determined to send Kai'Sa to the competition, so with a wave of their hands, they transformed Kai'Sa from a small tablet into an S-class figure, adding a circle from top to bottom!

There is no doubt that things are going to change in the bottom lane.

"But fortunately, we have practiced Kai'Sa a lot and prepared supporting tactics in advance." Banbazi said with a smile: "We should be ahead of the curve in terms of the adaptability of this hero."

After hearing this, Uzi nodded excitedly.

He had been waiting for Kai'Sa's update for too long.

When MSI starts, he will make other teams feel the pain!

Banbazi continued to turn the page and explained: "In addition, there is also a huge update, which is the callback of Enchantress."

Enchantress was reworked in the S7 pre-season when the Assassins were undergoing a collective overhaul.

During the rework, the Enchantress lost the Assassin's Soul. Although the burst was slower, the damage was higher, and WQ's line-pushing ability was added.

But later, the designer thought that the Enchantress was too strong in pushing the lane, so he cut off W's damage in one stroke, and put the Enchantress into the cold palace.

But now, the designer has changed his mind and directly redid the Enchantress back to the S6 look.

Passive clone, the big move copies the last small skill released.

Although it had been expected, even Chen Dongqing couldn't help but marvel when he saw this change.

Turtle, this job as a designer is really easy. You can get paid twice by jumping horizontally repeatedly!

Of course, because this is a newly reworked hero, it is temporarily unable to log into the international competition arena to avoid situations beyond our control.

Then, there are some other updates.

Dao Mei, who didn't play many roles but was a powerful figure in the LPL, received a small chop. Her armor was reduced by three points. The CD of her ultimate skill increased in the early stage and decreased in the later stage.

Obviously, this is a line that weakens Dao Mei.

In fact, this version of Dao Mei's laning ability is not very strong. It is mainly strong in small group combat with one or two pieces of equipment and its invincible 1V1 duel ability.

But maybe he was misled by Chen Dongqing's indiscriminate killing, which led the designer to give this hero a knife in the lane.

Obviously, after Qing Gangying, another hero who was persecuted by Chen Dongqing appeared.

Chen Dongqing silently mourned in his heart.

The Qinggang Shadow was destroyed, and the designer of Riven Sword Girl didn't dare to touch it at all. Now it's rare for Sword Girl to redo it, but he ended up getting stabbed again.

He almost single-handedly suppressed the entire lightly-armed warrior system.

I'm guilty.

"Of course." Banbazi continued: "Although Sword Girl has been weakened, I think this hero still has high selection value!"

"Because this hero only weakens the armor, it weakens the strength of Dao Mei in the top lane. If you fight the mage in the middle, Dao Mei is still dominant, so Li Yuanhao must practice during this period, and he must take it out in the group stage. .”

After hearing this, Xiaohu nodded, "Well, I'm already sure about Dao Sister. I'll give it a try in the training match later. There should be no problem."

Banbazi nodded: "That's good."

In the QG team, you never need to worry about the hero pool. Even if some players have heroes that they are not good at, the sense of responsibility of being the first club in history will press on your shoulders and force you to give up the heroes. Practice just to not be held back.

This is healthy pressure, which will drive players to keep moving forward.

Finally, an update on Verus.

Verus's passive attack speed bonus is reduced, and W's base additional damage is reduced.

But as compensation, Verus added an active effect of W, which can add a killing effect to the next Q shot.

When Uzi saw this update, he nodded with satisfaction.

Because the hero Verus lacks control and movement, he doesn't even have acceleration. He is a classic hero who can suppress but not kill.

Now that W adds a killing effect, it can be regarded as adding a touch of initiative to Verus.

"As for the equipment, there is a small change worth noting." Banbazi finally said: "The scanning lens has been removed. Now you can directly buy the oracle modification at level one."

Scans before version 8.8 can only scan one target area.

If you want the scan to follow people, you must reach level nine before changing.

But it's different now. At level one, you can have an oracle transformation that follows people.

Therefore, in this version, the jungler can start as a ward and then directly return to the city to change the scan to enhance the level 1 GANK ability.

"Other than that, there aren't many updates." Banbazi shrugged and smiled: "I personally think these are the ones that have an impact on the game. If there are any other updates worth noting, you can mention them yourself. If not, let’s break up the meeting and prepare for the training match in the afternoon!”

Chen Dongqing lost interest and dragged his chair back to his computer.

This version change has almost no impact on the top lane.

In the top lane of this version, there is still a tank top laner led by Ornn the Big Bug, and a mage top laner headed by Vampire Rambo. Of course, there is also a light warrior top laner like Sword Princess Qinggang Shadow.

Then under the leadership of Chen Dongqing, this version also has Victor's top laner, Captain's top laner and a series of money-stealing top laners. It can be said that a hundred flowers bloom.

In this environment where a hundred flowers bloom, a series of restraint chains such as warriors defeating tanks, stealing money defeating warriors, mages defeating money stealing, tanks defeating mages, etc. were spawned.

In this complex environment, if you want to be an excellent top laner, you must master an extremely broad hero pool. Otherwise, you will only be restrained to death by the infinite counter.

As the instigator of this complex environment, Chen Dongqing certainly reaped the biggest bonus - as long as he chose the red side, he could choose a variety of heroes to defeat the opponent!

It doesn't matter if it's the blue side. Even if Chen Dongqing chooses the top laner first, it's hard for the opponent's top laner to have the confidence to compete with him. Usually it's a peaceful development game.

In the training match, the only top laner who dared to show his sword against Chen Dongqing on the red side was KZ's Khan, and he even caused a little trouble for Chen Dongqing at one time.

But it's just a little trouble.

Chen Dongqing will not win the championship and become invincible like in e-sports novels, but will encounter all kinds of troubles and difficulties as a result.

nonexistent.

With the blessing of 99 points of operation and 99 points of reaction, he may be tripped, but he will never fall to the ground.

Khan was like Iron Man conjuring up a big fist and punching Thanos in the face with enough force - it took him a long time to break a little bit of skin.

Chen Dongqing broke Iron Man's sword blade and stabbed him through with his backhand.

Even the strongest challenger KZ can only defeat the enemy with one move in the hands of QG.

Xiaohu also played quite comfortably in the training matches, without any pressure at all.

Turtle, the intensity of this world championship is really not as good as the LPL?

Who are the people he is facing in the LPL?

Rookie! Scout! Doinb!

Each of these mid laners has its own strengths. Xiaohu has to deal with different strategies for different mid laners. After a game, he is often sweating profusely.

But what about MSI?

Maple? BDD?

All I can say is, it's funny.

Looking at the past, only one Caps can be called a strong mid laner, but according to Xiaohu's own feelings, Caps is not as strong as Rookie and Doinb.

Before, when Chen Dongqing said that the competition in the World Championship was not as good as the LPL, Xiaohu thought his elder brother was bragging.

Unexpectedly, is it really not as good as that?

So the World Championship is so simple?

Xiaohu has completed training matches in a few days and his confidence is doubled!

Our LPL is so powerful!

"Give me the whole knife sister tomorrow!" Xiaohu shouted boldly: "I will definitely do it for Xiaomao tomorrow!"

Listening to Xiaohu calling Caps "Little Hat", Chen Dongqing couldn't help but shake his head.

Not sure who will do whom tomorrow.

Time flew by and May 11th soon came.

Chen Dongqing was sitting backstage at the LCS Berlin studio, looking at the surrounding environment with a little disgust: "Is this the MSI venue? It's too stingy, isn't it? It's not as big as our home stadium!"

Linko smiled and said: "There is no way, Europe is only so big, Sister Li."

"But what should I say? Although there are not many people down there, the enthusiasm of the audience is quite exaggerated." Uzi chewed gum on the side and said: "When I just went up to install the keyboard, the audience's voice was huge!"

Chen Dongqing joked: "But unfortunately, we will play their home team later. Just wait and see how the audience boos you."

At this time, a staff member came and knocked on the door of QG's lounge. Everyone looked at each other, stood up quickly, and walked towards the stage.

On the stage at this time, the ten-second countdown before the opening ceremony was going on.

Although there were only over 200 people in the audience, the Germans in the audience were particularly enthusiastic. Everyone shouted the countdown at the top of their lungs.

As the countdown reached 1 and the fist logo appeared, the two hundred people in the audience were stunned and made a majestic sound in this small venue, as if they were dreaming back to 1940.

The European bearded host at the scene also held the microphone high and shouted in a powerful voice: "Okay, let us welcome the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational Champion and the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational Champion! QiaoGu!"

The cheers from the audience suddenly reached a new level!

The spotlight on the dome suddenly shone at the entrance of the passage, and everyone saw the QG players slowly walking onto the stage with solemn expressions.

The leader, Chen Dongqing, solemnly held a trophy with both hands and slowly placed it on the high platform in the center of the stage.

The spotlight immediately shifted from Chen Dongqing's side to the trophy, shining brightly on the golden trophy that had just been polished.

After the trophy was returned, everyone in QG had to compete immediately, so they stood on the stage and watched the host invite FNC, the other team in the opening game, to the stage.

Seeing their home team take the stage, the European audiences were naturally the first to cheer.

But I have to say that this voice is not much different from the voice when QG took the stage before.

Chen Dongqing was standing in the team at this time, looking at the audience, still a little surprised.

Chen Dongqing had already felt their popularity in Berlin when the plane landed, but he still didn't expect that their popularity could be compared with that of the home team.

Chen Dongqing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

In this case, he would be embarrassed to make a heavy move.

What if you attack too hard later and drive away all the fans?

After sitting down, Chen Dongqing put on his headphones and said, "Brothers, do you want to give the home team some face? How about choosing a late-stage lineup and playing slowly? Don't torture them too much."

"Okay!" Uzi likes to play in the late stage. He said with a smile: "Keep the bottom lane and play, I will give you a C in the late stage!"

"Huh?" Xiaohu was in trouble now, "I still want to choose Sword Girl. This hero can't fight in the late stage."

"Why are you so anxious?" Chen Dongqing said with a smile: "You have to choose the sword girl in front of Caps? You won't wait until we fight Flash Wolves before choosing? You have to pick the weak persimmon, do you understand?"

Xiaohu thought it made sense when he heard it, and simply agreed to the idea of ​​playing in the later stage.

Of course, the fifth member of his team doesn’t have much decision-making power.

Which decisions to implement have to be decided by the two eldest brothers in the team.

Banbazi listened to the exchange between the team members, quietly turned over a page in the notebook in his hand, and invalidated all the BP deductions he had done before.

The referee from behind came over to confirm the status of both players. After confirming that it was correct, the first game of MSI began quickly!

In the LPL commentary box, Doll and Miller were refreshed as they listened to the news coming from their headphones!

"Okay, the first round of BP has begun!" Wawa said: "In this round, QG, who has the right to choose sides, still chose their accustomed position on the red side. According to the rules of the game, when the game enters the second round, When the time comes, the right to choose sides will come to FNC to ensure the fairness of the game!"

Miller nodded and said: "At this time, we can see that on the blue side, FNC moved very quickly. They actually banned Kai'Sa in the first move!"

"We know that Kai'Sa is a hero who received a huge wave of enhancements in the MSI version, but she was actually banned in the first game of MSI. This may reveal a little bit of information!"

At this time, the camera happened to be on Uzi's side, and it could be seen that Uzi had a disappointed expression when he saw Kai'Sa being banned.

"It seems that the puppy's Kaisha proficiency is very good!" The doll smiled: "This is good news for us!"

Next, the ban position is relatively routine.

In the red side's first move, QG banned Poppy, and FNC took advantage of the situation and sent Sword Girl to the ban position.

In the red side's second move, QG banned Zoe, while FNC immediately banned Qinggang Shadow.

Seeing that FNC had no clue and banned all Sword Girl Qinggangying, Chen Dongqing was filled with hatred.

Damn it, Qinggang Ying is so weak and you all want to ban him?

You guys let me use the champion skin!

"Then the last move, QG chose to send Ornn to the ban position! Hey, this move is a bit interesting, it doesn't seem to be their usual ban position!" Watana turned around and asked: "Excuse me, player 369, Can you give a certain interpretation of this ban position?"

Today's third commentator is the special guest, former QG substitute 369.

This was the first time that 369 came to the commentary box, so he remained silent and didn't speak. This time, the baby gave him a chance to talk.

369 was stunned for a second, and then said a little shyly: "Ornn is a hero. Because this hero has considerable tankiness in the later stage and allows teammates to purchase enhanced equipment, this hero has a very high winning rate in the later stage. If QG If they take the initiative to ban Ornn, then they may be doing it with the intention of hitting the late stage."

I can only say that although 369 is shy, he still has no problem understanding this game, and he hit the nail on the head. Countless barrages of "Got it" popped up one after another, filling the entire screen.

After the tone of focusing on the late stage is set, it is not difficult to guess the BP ideas of both sides.

On FNC's side, they acted quickly and quickly locked onto EZ. Although the routine of the double goddess EZ originated from the LPL, because of its status as the first division of the LPL, it has now attracted other divisions to learn from it.

On QG's side, everyone deliberated for two seconds and locked a Big Mouth + Lulu with their backhand.

Since you want to play in the later stage, let’s be more exciting and use the most powerful glass cannon in the later stage!

FNC was even stunned for two seconds after seeing Dazui's choice.

They originally thought that QG would choose policewoman Verus or something like that, but they ended up making a big fuss.

Of course, this is a good thing.

Although Big Mouth is powerful in the late stage, it is still not as good as the policewoman Verus in the early and mid-term. This can give them a little more initiative in the bottom lane.

Wawa continued to explain: "Okay, FNC's second and third moves, they first locked in Kalma to match EZ, selected a group of bottom laners with excellent lanes, and then locked in a sword girl. This should be a choice to grab instead of ban. ! The sword girl swings from the middle to the top, which can add some confusion!"

Immediately afterwards, 369 also said: "If they choose Big Mouth in the bottom lane, then the midfielder must be stronger, so as to ensure the stable development of the bottom lane, but if it is QG, I can't say what they will choose."

If you want to be strong in the middle and jungle, then Xiaohu must take a counter position, right?

But, are you really not going to give the Counter bit to Brother Shu?

The next second, QG's third hero was locked, the Scarlet Reaper!

"QG is also a swing position with one hand." Miller crossed his arms and said, "Should you swing both sides at the same time? That feels a bit brain-burning!"

At this point the game enters the second round of BP.

FNC on the blue side did not dare to neglect. They chose to ban Jace and Victor to show their respect.

On the red side, Banbazi targeted Xiaomao and banned Syndra and Clockwork. After entering the selection stage, Banbazi did not hesitate to lock in a prince!

This jungle hero is of course Xiangguo’s choice.

Here’s the champion skin! Very urgent!

After choosing the prince, Xiangguo rubbed his hands excitedly and decided to play better in this round.

Seeing the excitement of others, Chen Dongqing sighed helplessly and shook his head.

It’s so uncomfortable to have skin but not be able to use it!

Next, it’s FNC’s turn to determine the lineup.

No matter where their sword girl swings, there will be a result.

Because QG is clearly meant to play in the late game, a strong midfielder is also a must for them.

The vampire plus the prince is obviously not a strong midfielder, so FNC believes that QG's vampire should be on the top lane. This is also in line with QG's idea of ​​focusing on the late game.

So thinking of this, FNC decided to move Dao Mei to the middle lane, and then locked the crow and vampire on the top lane to fight, which also made up for the team's AP damage.

As for the jungle position, they locked a barrel and the lineup was determined first!

QG's last choice was just as expected. As expected, they moved the vampire to the top lane and gave the counter position to Xiaohu.

And Xiaohu's answer when facing the sword girl was also quite simple and violent - just hit Galio with one hand!

Galio has WE's two hard controls here, and melee heroes will always have an advantage in the lane. Melee heroes will always be under the fear of the midfielder and dare not push the lane.

What, you're saying that Galio can't beat Sword Girl with his lane in the mid-term?

It doesn't matter, I have Brother Shu, let Brother Shu fight!

I have to say that Chen Dongqing really sacrificed too much in this BP.

At this point, the heroes of both sides have been officially determined!

Blue square FNC: top laner Crow, jungle jungler Barrel, mid laner Sword Girl, bottom lane EZ plus Karma.

Red side QG: top laner Vampire, jungler prince, mid laner Galio, bottom lane big mouth plus Lulu.

"Okay, let the game begin!"

This chapter is a bit blurred, mainly to introduce the updated version.

I will finish this chapter in one chapter tomorrow, this MSI will be very fast. (End of chapter)
