1 to 1.

In the fight with E, the two sides shook hands and eventually drew the game.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, the performance on the road was just a failure, and to say something ugly was a mix, and it was a five-five battle with the strawberries who were recently abdicated by 60E people.

This strengthened Lin Mu's idea of substitution.

Of course, until then, his attention was inevitably drawn to the standings.

With the end of the RT vs. E match, the entire Spring Season regular season is now halfway through.

2014 LPL Spring Season Regular Season Round 1 Points Standings:

One, OMG, 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, a total of 16 points

Second, RT, 4 wins, 3 draws, 0 losses, 15 points

Three, E, 3 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses, 11 points

Fourth, EDG, 3 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses, 11 points

Five, IG, 2 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses, 9 points

Six, LGD, 2 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses, 7 points

Seven, royalty, 1 win, 2 draws, 4 losses, 5 points

Eight, PE, 0 wins, 2 draws, 5 losses, 2 points

According to the rules of the regular season, a 2-0 win over the opponent gets three points, and a 1-1 draw results in one point each, and the loser does not deduct points.

Even in the first round of meetings, RT did not lose a single match, the worst was a draw with their opponent, and the points were not as good as the OMG team that won more than them.

Since then, RT has officially changed hands from the first day of the spring season to the first place in the regular season.

After the game and after returning to the club, the first thing Lin Mu did was to press Shuhao to the water cooler and select four potential toplaners from the academy for trial.

In the end, it was a young contestant whose ID was called Wu Brewing Mountains and Rivers.

In the competition with many well-known top laners in later generations, such as Dragon, Holy Spear and 957, this teenager who didn't know where Qiuqiu Cat recruited won Lin Mu's favor with his delicate operation and broad hero pool, and was selected as the team's substitute top laner, and in the next second round of the regular season, he will replace Shu Hao.

After learning the news that he was going to sit on the bench, Shuhao didn't get emotional, just silently returned to his computer and opened the game.

He also knows that his recent performance has dragged down the team.

Unlike usual, this regular season standings are not just about playoff spots and matchup lists.

According to the rules announced by Riot at the beginning of the year, the Paris All-Star Game in May will invite the spring champion teams from the five major regions, including LPL, GPL, North American LCS, European LCS, and OGN, to compete for the All-Star title.

This is a far cry from the 2013 All-Stars, where last year it was known that the stars were selected for each spot based on player votes, and eventually each region will consist of five players from different teams to form an All-Star team.

This year, Riot changed its previous voting model and directly allocated the quota to the spring champions of each major region.

This change in the rules weakened the entertainment atmosphere of the game and greatly enhanced the confrontation and intensity of the game.

It's more appropriate than an all-star tournament in the middle of the season.

This selection mechanism and competition system are almost identical to those of later MSIs.

It's just that the so-called Great Celestial Dynasty has its own national conditions here, and other regions send all the playoff champions or the first place in the annual standings, but the LPL is once again unable to start the playoffs before the All-Star Game due to scheduling problems.

As a result, the LPL's place in the All-Star Game this time can only be obtained by the first place in the regular season points.

It's hard to judge whether this rule is reasonable, after all, as long as it's a pre-established format that treats everyone equally, it's fair.

As for whether the science is scientific or not, it is difficult to say.

Anyway, in this case, regular season points become extremely important.

In the previous league, as long as you are in the top four, you can enter the playoffs, the difference is only that the ranking will determine the battle list, it can be said that there is not much difference.

However, with the introduction of this rule, it is extremely crucial for this spring tournament to win the first place in the regular season.

Judging from the current standings, OMG and RT are undoubtedly the two most competitive teams, and there is a big gap between them and the next six.

And based on the performance in the first round, it should be difficult for other teams to pose a threat to these two teams again.

Unsurprisingly, the final quota will be between RT and OMG.

The current situation is that RT is one point behind OMG for the time being!

In fact, the reason why Lin Mu was in a hurry to make substitutions was precisely because of the importance of the next game that he could not continue to drag it out.

In the previous life, OMG topped the regular season table with a proud record of 11 wins and 3 draws, and no team can compete with it with such a hot form and strong dominance.

No one knows better than him that if he doesn't act and allows the team to continue to develop like this, it is impossible to compete with the other party.

It's the end of March, and with just over a month to go before Riot's All-Star Game date, time is particularly pressing.

For Lin Mu, this all-star game comparable to MSI is not as important as ten IEMs.

It doesn't matter if IEM loses, but this All-Star Game spot is something he has to grab.

With this idea, Lin Mu opened the latest national server version update announcement.

Version 4.03 Update!

According to the information obtained by Lin Mu, next week's game server update will directly skip 4.02, which is their version at IEM8, and go directly to 4.03.

In this version, in addition to the most anticipated Six Kills mode will be launched for the first time, there will also be a large number of heroes and equipment changes.

Of course, for professional teams, the most interesting of them are the changes to the towers.

- In the last patch, we made changes to towers to directly counter the multiplayer fast-forward strategy in Arena. Changing the duration of the fixed damage reduction effect from permanent to 8 minutes would make more sense of our thinking, so we did that.

Top and Mid Tier Towers: Fixed damage reduction against heroes: Changed from permanent to first 8 minutes

In Lin Mu's memory, this was supposed to be the last tower change Riot made in response to the early lane change.

The effect of this change lasted until the S8 season, and the version of the One Blood Tower is still shining until later generations!

Maybe even Riot himself hasn't realized that his unintentional move of "the first 8 minutes" will lead to how many professional teams in the future will pinch the stopwatch to play the game.

The good news is that, in any case, such a change would be beneficial for a team with a primary offensive style like RT.

The bad news is that this change is also beneficial for OMG, who also play the offensive route and have a relatively weak bottom lane.
