The Spring Showdown is over, and the Champion Skin release is also in order.

There are still two full weeks to go before the start of the MSI competition, and the Rng club, which is preparing for the competition, is back to normal.

The spring finale version of LPL is 8.7 and the version of msi is 8.8.

The version update of League of Legends is generally a week to a month, and the national server has not been updated to version 8.8, so several people can only go to Hanbok if they want to train.

Of course, the Korean team has not officially played version 8.8 in the game, and the six teams participating in MSI are all working hard to figure out how to play version 8.8.

Including Rng, it's also crazy to practice.

In Li Luo's memory, the MSI version in 2018 should be 8.8, and the spring duel was 8.6 at that time, and it was not updated to version 8.9 until the MSI started.

However, a sudden announcement of Riot's latest update made the six participating teams, including Rng, stunned.

From now on, the hanbok will be officially updated to version 8.9, and within two weeks of MSI's start, the stability of version 8.9 will be continuously tested, and if the stability passes, the MSI version will be 8.9.

"No, didn't you inform us before the spring finale that we were going to play 8.8, and now update 8.9?"

Chris stared at the information on the update announcement with an ugly expression.

Now that the hanbok has entered maintenance, it will be officially opened after 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.

"For two weeks, there was no competition, and if you went directly to the training match, no one developed a new version of the gameplay, which... Why is this fist messing around?"

"Do you want to play directly in the matches in each major theater like the previous updated version of the World Championship, update the version, and let all teams play a version that everyone is unfamiliar with in the World Championship?"

As with the pre-World Championship changes in S8, this kind of operation has been done in S5, S6, and Riot.

Shortly before the start of the game, a major version change was suddenly made, and this version is still the kind that can affect the overall trend.

This change forced all teams to be on the same page.

However, unlike the S competition, which lasted for a month, the MSI competition was only a few days.

In the S round, it is easy to develop a lineup for teams that play from the group stage to the finals, but the format of MSI is obviously not suitable.

"Let's see what's updated first."

Li Luo's expression did not move, he clicked on the translated version update announcement, took a deep breath, and when he saw the opening paragraph, he already understood the intention of the fist.

The current Rng is too strong, and if you don't make a certain balance, going to msi terror is one-sided.

Although Riot still wants to use the popularity of Rng to rush to a higher place, seeing Rng dominate in the World Championship is definitely a situation they don't want to see.

There is a version that is very bizarre in the history of S8.

He vaguely remembered these changes, because the changes in that version were so fluctuating that they even directly affected the hero selection in the mid lane.

"Wow, that's a big change!"

"It's all about the equipment changes of the Ap mage.,Is the mid-laner going to rise again?,No,This is a weakening of the mid-laner toolman"

"Hell, General Tiger is coming back again?"

First of all, in this new version, the core objectives are mages, mana, and their ability casting.

Over time, the clear line hero gradually defeats other heroes in the mid lane, which is not conducive to the game's diversification.

Basically, it's too easy to abuse skills to clear lanes, so equipment that provides mana to do so has become the best build option.

Updates have been made to some of the core mana equipment that mages will buy, mages' base mana/mana regeneration, and so on.

This was followed by a large number of drastic changes to the mage's equipment, and even the Book of Murder in this version only needs 10 floors to provide a movement speed bonus.

Secondly, the middle and upper heroes were almost strengthened one by one, and the heroes of the lower lane, including Kaisha, continued to be weakened.

The changes to these AP equipment have completely changed the ecological chain of Zhonglan.

The idea of relying on the banner of command to disgust online heroes has completely failed.

After the traditional mages have been raised back to blue and blue amount, the tool man wants to bully the mage with his strong early line clearing ability, and has become the moon in the well.

Not only the rise of the Ap Mage, but also several Assassins have been strengthened and become able to enter the arena.

The distance of the male sword's Q skill has been directly increased by 75 points, and Cassadine's Q skill magic shield has been greatly enhanced.

The reinforcement of several assassins, Wild Daddy, also illustrates the determination of Fist from the side.

Looking at the countless changes in the middle and upper, the Rng people couldn't help but turn their attention to Li Luo.

The reason why Riot is so msi forcibly updated the version before the start of the fight is found, it is because the lower lane of Rng is too strong!

"Blame me~"

Li Luo spread his hands and looked at the few people with an innocent expression.

It seems that Riot will update the version to 8.9 in order to curb Rng's invincible play in S8.

found the reason, and Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not version 8.11, he's not stressed.

You must know that in version 8.11, Riot went crazy and directly attacked dozens of ADs, all of which weakened basic attributes such as attack power, blood volume, armor, etc.

Even Adc's housekeeping gear, Hentai, has been revamped, changing the Endless Critical Damage bonus to 15% True Damage.

Because of this change, ADC, which could have had a say in the middle term, has completely become a tool man in the early and middle stages.

Although everyone had good ideas about the big changes to the version, it wasn't until 5.8, two days before the start of the MSI, that the official announcement was issued to the six participating teams.

Version 8.9 is officially enabled!

Fans and media officials who had previously followed the game have finally paid attention to this change.

A new wave of discussion began.

Of course, the LPL division is the most popular because of its large fan base.

Because historically, in the LPL division, only in 2015, that is, when S5, EDG represented the lpl to win the championship once in msi.

Because of that championship, EDG was in the LPL at that time, and even dominated the LPL for a whole year.

As a result, clearlove won the title of god in S5, and Edg is also known as the favorite team in S5 to win the championship.

Therefore, from this championship, you can see how heavy the MSI is!

It's a pity that after several LPL teams from S5 went to the S competition and were beaten into Muggles by the LCK team, the LPL division of S6 ushered in the darkest year in the following year.

This year, all the teams pulled their hips, and there was even a visible gap in strength with the LCK team.

The championship was won by the LCK.

This year, just when all the fans were putting all their expectations into Rng, Riot's announcement of the change was like a basin of cold water.

You must know that the current national server has not been updated to version 8.9, and you have to play 8.9 in this game, what the hell?

But if Riot and Penguins heed the advice of one percent of the players, League of Legends wouldn't get worse and worse.

In the approaching time, the Rng people, who have been given high hopes by countless LPL fans, can only get on a plane and go to Berlin, Europe.

The MSI for S8 was held in Europe, while the S race was held in South Korea.

European LCS studio in Berlin, Germany.

It is also known as the smallest e-sports competition base in Europe and the United States.

Although the name is not good, the sparrow is small and has everything.

It's a 200-seat tournament venue, and it's said that any gank can catch a pro.

For Riot, which started in S5 and held such a world-class event in Europe two years later, European players and fans have shown amazing spending power.

The 200 tickets were sold out within a minute on the day of the sale, and even the large square outside the studio was booked for many seats outside the venue.

These positions are only 10 euros, and the European organizers have been trying to have fun, but they didn't expect to sell more than 5,000 people.

Many fans who study in Europe in China want to go to the audience to watch the game very much, so they can only buy tickets from others at a higher price, and even some scalpers have also applied for visas and flown to Europe to do business.

On the day of the game, two hours before the start of the game, there was a long queue outside the stadium.

There are many fans who are not qualified to enter, and they can only wait to see the professional players they have in mind at the door.

There were 200 people watching the game inside the stadium and 5,000 people outside the stadium, and this kind of disparity in the size of the lineup made the Rng people stunned.

"Wow, there are too many people! This is the same as in China, all of them are Chinese."

Xiao Ming said funny things, but his eyes were not honest and secretly glanced at whether there were good-looking female fans.

Yesterday just came to pour the jet lag, today is going to open the battle, except for Xiao Ming, the other people are a little out of energy, listlessly looking at the black crowd outside the bus.

The best thing about competing in China is that you don't have to go to jet lag, and you don't need to worry about whether you will be unadaptable.

Seeing the appearance of Rng's bus, all the fans couldn't help it!

“Uzi！ Uzi! Uzi look here, I'm your dog fan, Uzi, Uzi! ”

"RNG come on, Xiao Ming, mom will always love you, yes (male fan)"

"Grand Slam, get the Grand Slam, Wuhu take off!"

As the crowd became more and more congested, everyone wanted to squeeze in with light signs in their hands, and Rao is Rng and several people had seen the wind and waves, and they also hurried into the competition venue, and the fans were too enthusiastic.

I thought that the young lady who would be enthusiastic was not an opponent at all in front of these male fans who have been influenced by European and American culture for several years.

More and more post-90s fans have made the e-sports industry more youthful and energetic.

The cheering was so loud that even the home team FNC, which was going to play against in the opening game of Rng today, was overwhelmed.

Many European and American passers-by passing by the competition square also looked at these "foreigners" with curiosity as they were lively in the square.

"Wow, do we have so many fans abroad, I actually heard someone shouting my name!"

The RNG starting five are very calm, but the two substitutes Xiao Tian and Xiao Dongbei are the first time to see this kind of formation.

The previous support was like seeing flowers in the fog, and everyone was far apart.

Although the audience is densely packed with heads, it is still not so intuitive to be surrounded by people like now.

Xiao Dongbei is like a child who has never seen the world, in a year, he first won the spring championship with the team, and then went abroad for the first time, coming to Europe and the United States to participate in world events, a little nervous, but seeing Xiao Tian's face boiling, I also found resonance.

Before S8, each team could only bring one substitute, and this rule was not modified by Riot until after the end of S8's spring game that one team could accompany the team with two substitutes.

"Of course," Li Luo said, sitting on the left side of the front seat of the bus, turning his head.

"On the day of our final, we have to go to the Paris Zenith Stadium in the Parc de la Villette in Paris, France, where it can accommodate 25,000 spectators, and then you will know what a formation is."

For competitive games where people fight each other, just by looking at the number of fans, you can get a rough idea of the strength of a team.

In the two years of S5 and S6, which were hailed as the darkest years of the LPL, the LPL lost countless fans.

But if you say the most powerful, it is the civil war between the two Korean teams in the Bird's Nest that year to "uninstall the game".

However, because Rng won the championship in the S7 Bird's Nest this time, LPL fans have also ushered in a blowout growth.

In this year's MSI, after the play-in round of the wild card region, the last two teams to advance were the lightning wolves of Vietnam and Taiwan.

This year's MSI schedule of six teams has also been confirmed, namely:

EU Division: FNC Team

LPL Division: RNG Team

LCK: Team Skt

LMS Division: Team FW

Vietnam: Team EVS

Na Division: Team Tl

Among the six teams, except for Kz, who will appear in the msi of S8, has become Skt after being affected by the butterfly storm brought by Li Luo, the other teams have not changed their personnel.

Today is also the first battle between the LPL division and the host EU division, and the discussion on the schedule on the Internet is getting louder and louder.

Naturally, Riot officially released the famous "Poisoned Milk List" on time, and the strength of MSI's previous team was also counted and put on the official website.

The Rng five directly occupy the first place in all positions, and even Xiaohu's 18-year points are also overwhelmed by faker, and as for the Uzi points in the ADC position, they directly exceed the second by as much as double.

It's a pity that domestic fans don't have an optimistic attitude, you must know that Fist is a notoriously poisonous milk.

Over the years, as long as the team is rated as the first, it is no surprise that it will definitely pull its hips at a critical moment.

Of course, foreign audiences don't think so.

In their hearts, this is a list of honors, especially the LCK audience, seeing their own players and zanudi all being pressed under the teams of other regions, they feel very uncomfortable.

Although the reorganized Skt has a magnificent record, it is still a long way to go compared with Rng's 19-game winning streak in the spring game.

In the small studio, although there are only about 200 fans, in the live broadcast rooms of each competition area, millions of LOL fans are looking forward to strong dialogues.

This time, the MSI opening ceremony was recorded by several teams in advance, so while the players were preparing their e-sports equipment, a promotional video was simultaneously played on the big screen.

The totems of the six teams appear one by one, and the totems that symbolize the style of their own region are full of characteristics.

In the LPL division, there is no doubt that it is a dragon. In the 2016 MSI promotional animation, the intention of the LPL division was to be a dragon, and that year was also RNG to participate. Dragon has always been one of the representative images of the LPL division, and the reason naturally does not need to be explained.

The Xuanchun MVs of the six teams, as well as the highlight moments of their respective divisions, were played with the passionate music.

An English phrase with a provocative twist appears in the final S7 Worlds three-star and Rng highlights:

Who is the king?
