Qualifying?

What is this?

If it is said that the qualifying round has just begun, it is true that some people don't know what this is for.

Then, after a few trials, they immediately discovered that the qualifying match was different from the normal matchmaking match.

From the perspective of Hero Choice, Ranked Play is very different from Matchmaking.

Matchmaking mode is for any player, and they can choose any hero at will.

However, in Ranked Matches, heroes can only be selected in order.

Choose one for your team, and choose one for your team.

This may seem useless at first, but it is this interactive selection of heroes by both sides that makes the whole game more interesting. Also, when it comes to choosing heroes in Ranked Matches, there are still secrets.

Every player enters a ranked match, and it's best not to pick a random hero.

One of the best teams, he is made up of ADC, AP, Jungler, Control Zhì, Tank.

In other words, out of 5 people, it is better for one person to develop.

If you choose two ADCs, there is no doubt that although this seems to have increased firepower, the probability of finding death is greater.

Everyone knows that ADCs are all crispy and die as soon as they are sold.

Similarly, if you don't choose an ADC, choose a few blood cows. Although, it seems, the Blood Ox tank is not easy to die. But this also faces the problem of insufficient attack power, and often, sometimes the opponent only has a little blood. But the direction of your career development is a blood cow, and one skill you use may not be able to defeat 50 drops of blood from others.

In other words, in ranked matchmaking, you can no longer play as casually as auto-matchmaking. In qualifying, not only you, not just your teammates, but everyone in the whole team must serve the team and the honor of the team.

Invisibly, the emergence of qualifying immediately elevated League of Legends to the level of a professional game.

It's exciting enough, qualifying, I love you to death.

Nima, it's so challenging, and the qualifying competition has taught me what it means to compete.

Oh my god, compared to qualifying, auto-matching is all just entertainment.

God, how do I feel like qualifying is a domestic race.

It's so professional and I love it.

I must rush to the Silver rank.

What is silver, I want to be a gold player.

I'm going to be a Platinum Master.

Haha, I will be the legendary diamond god in the future.

Diamonds, maybe you don't know, I'm going to rush to the extraordinary.

My journey is the strongest king.

The emergence of qualifying once again ignited the enthusiasm of League of Legends.

Countless players, whether it is for experience or rank, they have started ranked matches again and again.

For them, they feel that qualifying is the most classic setting in the world.

It's much more fun than any strategy game.

Fighting with people is endlessly fun.

A qualifying match is a race against others.

What's more, this game is more complex and fun than other strategy games.

Brothers, come to the line.

Everyone, qualifying is the real challenge.

What are you waiting for, come to the qualifying race.

The qualifying match of the core gameplay has been a hot success.

Although ranked matches are more complicated than matchmaking, his introduction has further promoted the development of League of Legends.

In order to play a good ranked match, many people began to study the skills and gameplay of each hero.

Many people start to study specific runes for the sake of rank.

For the sake of honor, many people began to study all the game settings in League of Legends, including map coordinates, equipment skill trees, monster refresh times, and generalization skills...... And so on a qiē to improve the information of League of Legends skills.

This would not be possible in any other game.

Because most people, they have always treated games as entertainment, and even if they know that this is a strategic game, they don't spend too much time studying tactics. It's too hard, or rather, it's too time-taking. Only some pros, or those crazy gaming enthusiasts, would do that.

However, in League of Legends, almost most of the players, they started doing it.

There's something competitive about it.

In fact, in the final analysis, qualifying is not only a symbol of honor, but also a direction for players to strive for improvement.

This is something that you can't do in other games.

Just like Warcraft, everyone knows that Warcraft is a very strategic competitive game. There are also a lot of players who want to be the most high-end players, but they are just ordinary people, they don't have such opportunities, and they don't know how to train themselves. Moreover, even if there are some people who think they are good, they don't know where their level is, they don't know how to improve.

But League of Legends' qualifying has solved their confusion.

The first is the level of qualifying.

According to the rules, the level of the qualifying match is played one by one, and what kind of rank you are actually represents what kind of strength you have. This level has a very clear understanding for players, and it turns out that I am now at the silver level. My level can only be regarded as average, and if I want to improve, then I must advance to gold and platinum.

When the goal is identified and the direction is clearly seen, the efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.

Moreover, thanks to the matchmaking feature of qualifying, when you are in the ranking, the system has already arranged opponents of similar strength to play with you. You have to improve, then, if you win against these teams, you can advance. It's a really good training set-up, and he almost tells you that you just have to work a little bit hard and you can advance.

Another wave of madness, with League of Legends players once again on the rise in online records at the same time.

5 million.

5.5 million.

6 million.

7 million.

8 million.

This looks like there are some myths, and this looks even more like there are some fakes.

However, Penguin Games, including the world's leading gaming organizations, will tell you that there is no water at all.

This is a real simultaneous online record, and League of Legends has once again made history.

……

We're blazing a trail like never before.

After League of Legends exceeded 8 million online online worldwide and the number of global registrations exceeded 100 million, Zhang Ning received an invitation to speak from Harvard University.

Here, Zhang Ning meets Mark.

Here, Zhang Ning set a record of joining 100 clubs.

Here, Zhang Ning has created a Facebook network that connects everyone to understand each other.

Over here......

Returning to Harvard again, Zhang Ning was full of emotion.

He has always had a good image of Harvard, and not just because of its excellent academic tradition.

What's even more remarkable is that Harvard has always been at the forefront of global innovation.

This time, Zhang Ning attended an Internet lecture at Harvard University as an alumnus of Harvard University.

Although Zhang Ning did not graduate from Harvard, he only entered Harvard as an exchange student, but Zhang Ning gladly accepted the invitation from Harvard University.

We're blazing a trail like never before, and that's the title of Zhang Ning's speech at Harvard.

At the same time, this title is also Zhang Ning's second borrowing from Harvard University's speech to promote his unique concept.

The topic is, of course, inseparable from League of Legends.

It's not just League of Legends that's hot right now, it's also a topic of interest to Harvard students.

When Zhang Ning talked about League of Legends, Zhang Ning could clearly feel that the Harvard students in the crowd were excited.

Good afternoon, everybody, I'm actually embarrassed to stand in the position I'm standing in right now. In my mind, this position has always been reserved for good professors and scholars who are very knowledgeable. For me, an unqualified student who didn't graduate from Harvard and only stayed at Harvard for a few months, I was still a little timid.

However, we have a saying in China, three people, there must be my teacher. What he means is that one of the three people knows more than you do, and in that respect alone, he can be your teacher in that area. So, as someone who has been working in the Internet industry, I have the cheekiness to be everyone's teacher.

Let's talk about the game we recently launched - League of Legends.

I know, you've played it, and I also know that one of the players under the podium is said to be an Extraordinary Master. It's a great achievement, at least, I'm only a bronze player now. However, many people may have always thought of League of Legends as just a game. It's just a game, and he may not have developed much. Even if some friends have reached the rank of transcendent masters, or even the strongest kings in legends, people are at most envious, feeling that the game may not have any impact on reality.

However, I don't think games are just games.

A few years ago, I spoke out about the concept of professional gamers in China, because at that time there was a lot of rejection of games in China. Eventually, thanks to our efforts, people have changed a lot about the game. Of course, in the United States, people's views on games tend to be more objective and do not comment too much, which gives many gamers room to survive.

However, since the development of video games, games have not been on the right path.

Even if some companies have formed a lot of game teams or held some professional game competitions before, in the end, this road has not been smooth. Many gamers, many professional players, they have been facing threats in their lives...... Until now, we have only seen a small number of professional gamers, and they still exist on the stage.

I've always thought it was incredible.

I've been thinking about it too.

Why are the baseball players, the basketball players, the soccer players, the table tennis players, the hockey players, the whole number of sports players, they can live so well and be so popular? On the contrary, as gamers who also have entertainment and competition, they have been living a very difficult life.

Not to mention, these sports have a very large population base, and almost everyone in the world plays them.

However, what you may not know is that there are also billions of people around the world, and they are also playing all kinds of games.

In our League of Legends alone, he has more than 100 million players.

More than 100 million players.

How many people are there in the United States?

Only a little more than 200 million.

Half of Americans play League of Legends, and when you think about it, what a terrifying number it is.

But it is such a popular project.

I don't understand why those real game tech gurus don't have much chance of survival.
