The LPL playoffs start three days after the regular season, but according to the bubble schedule, EDG, who tops the regular season, does not have to appear on the first day of the playoffs.

As Group A toppers, they are eligible to start their playoff journey straight from the semi-finals.

According to the schedule, the team has a full seven days to rest.

The team first took a two-day vacation after the regular season, but it was a scorching summer, and the team members were all Internet addicts who didn't like to go out very much, so including Summer, they basically spent their days in the base playing qualifying.

By the afternoon of the 10th, manager Abu called the contestants for a brief meeting.

The basic job of the meeting was to explain the game version of the playoff client.

The official announcement is to use version 6.15, which was just updated on August 1st.

According to Abu's internal information obtained by his communicative skills, League of Legends will start with the playoffs, and the designers will consciously revise the version around the Worlds.

Having learned the lesson of S5 Iron Man, from 6.15 to the future Worlds version, in principle, there will be no rework and new heroes, and the main way to fix the work is to weaken the heroes as much as possible rather than strengthen them.

So in version 6.15, which was chosen as the playoffs, the designers frantically nerfed nearly twenty heroes!

In the version of strengthening heroes, players only need to test whether those heroes who have been buffed can stand out, but in the version where a large number of heroes are weakened, players want to find the version of the hero, not only to test whether the weakened hero is really out of the version, but also to find the hero who has been greatly strengthened in disguise with the weakening of natural enemies in the other 90 heroes.

If you want to find the version as quickly as possible, you can only rely on trial and error, and learning.

So Abu focused on praising what Summerhouse had done in her recent rankings.

She really has more than 20 qualifying games in two days, and there is not a single hero who is the same!

So much so that the stereotype of her ingrained Hero Bowl on the Internet has dissolved a lot, and now the popular narrative has changed from a simple assassin player to -

[Although there are many heroes that Mika ranks good at, only those who can play an effect are selected confidently in the game to be considered a hero pool!] 】

[Mika-chan is always practicing useless heroes, and the key to the game is to choose the strongest heroes in those versions! ] 】

Although Summer's main starting point for playing with a hero is to avoid boredom......

Speaking of hero changes, Abu then talked about the changes in the game mechanics.

In order to completely eradicate the previous routine of changing lanes when Mixia played SS, the alliance designers began to reduce the defense mechanism of the defense tower, that is, the lifting time of the damage reduction mechanism of the defense tower in the early stage, from 7 minutes to 5 minutes, which means that the tower can be dismantled faster in the early stage.

At the same time, the bounty mechanism of a blood tower was introduced, where heroes demolish a blood tower, heroes near the defense tower share 275 gold coins, and global heroes get a 25 gold bounty.

If the changes at the beginning of the season effectively reduced the line change, the One Blood Tower mechanism completely wiped out the Korean line change operation.

Viewers who have watched the last round of LPL's Summertime and SS matches are even more exclaiming, if the One Blood Tower mechanism is launched earlier, Matin will have a chance to kill Mika online!

At the meeting, Abu explained the EDG's training arrangements for the next few days.

As a manager, although he does things more out of his own interests, he has nothing to say about the treatment of players and the management of the team.

Before the start of the playoffs this time, he just didn't know where to get a channel for the team to ask the team to do long-term training with a giant team named after a famous Korean telecommunications company - if they can all participate in the World Championship, then the training tournament partnership will be extended.

Of course, this team sponsored by a telecom company is not SKT, although EDG won the mid-season Cup, but Faker will not recognize their strength, and is not willing to humiliate the Sakura Girl in private.

Abuyo is the KT team that is currently ranked third in the LCK regular season and has just defeated SSG in the playoffs to advance to the semifinals!

"Since the end of the World Championship last year, our LPL team has rarely asked the LCK team to play training matches, and this opportunity to get involved with KT is rare, or because of the beautiful mid-season cup, we won the opportunity. Everyone plays hard in training matches, learn more and think more! ”

Abu is very proud to have made an appointment with the LCK team.

However, Summer's interest in this is lacking.

If she said that she played a training match with an LPL team, she was not stingy in teaching the tactics of later generations, and she was reluctant to hand over her cherished experience when she played a training match with an LCK team!

Besides, the KT team, if I remember correctly, S6 doesn't seem to have even made it to the World Championship this season, so it doesn't make much sense to learn from them in training matches.

"Coach, I think we should still play training matches with the LPL team, the LCK team is not as good as this!" Summerhouse raised her hand directly to object.

"Mika, don't talk nonsense, is there any LPL team that can beat SKT? There are three teams on the LCK side and LCK at the same level, and KT is one of them, so don't think that if MSI wins SKT, we are better than each other. "Abu's fear of the LCK team is still deep-rooted.

And the recent remarks from the LCK side are indeed similar to Abu's.

SKT returned from MSI and repeatedly hit a wall in the LCK, but it was only in the second half of the season that the BANG form picked up, and it was barely able to lift the team to a 13-5 record tied with KT, and then relied on a small score advantage to finish second in the regular season.

This shows that the overall strength of the LCK region is strong, there are at least three teams at the same level as SKT, and SKT is not the strongest one, and they can learn from each other in the league to strengthen themselves.

And EDG came back from MSI to fight all over the LPL invincible.

This does not mean that EDG is invincible in the world, it can only prove that the LPL team is all spicy chicken, only EDG stands out from the crowd, and no matter how powerful the team has been practicing with blind tricks, it will only practice more and more, and will not be improved.

"Let's just get to know the style of the LCK team and prepare for the World Championship in advance!" Seeing that Meixia was still reluctant to play a training match with LCK, the factory director came out to enlighten her.

"Okay." Summera nodded in agreement.

Abu's training matches were all scheduled, and there was no point in her refusal.

It's considered to be a hidden strength to play ranking.

So EDG played several training matches that night and the next day, and under the condition of the heroes of Mixiazang, the overall record of the two sides was 3-2, and the team's performance was decent.

The coaches on both sides were satisfied.

Abu felt that MSI's 3-1 victory over SKT was more due to the team's super-level performance, especially the surprise of mage heroes such as Mika Reze.

This training match was able to win 3-2 against the top team of the LCK, which is beautiful enough.

In the KT team's training room, the players are also based on SKT.

SKT lost 1-3 to EDG.

They had a 2-3 record in training.

If EDG and SKT levels remain the same, rounded up, their results are better than SKT.

KT's next opponent is SSG, and then SKT.

KT's young captain Score sighed confidently after the training match, "Mika's strength is really powerful, but our alignment is better than MSI's SKT, and the next knockout match should be stable!" ”
