In the following period, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet about the grouping.

RNG has become a bad luck for everyone.

Li Luo's evaluation of this is only four words.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.

The high-intensity confrontations in the group stage have the potential to break down a team or bring a team back to life.

Before the rebirth, the S8 World Championship RNG got a relatively good script, and even eliminated the world champion of the first year in the group stage, making the South Korean team a team that lost in the group stage again after many years.

But in the end, the outcome was not satisfactory.

Under high pressure, maybe they can break through that threshold.

What Li Luo really cares about now is the World Championship version.

The 8.18 and 8.19 versions spanned more than ten days.

It wasn't until the Play-In tournament was about to start that version 8.19, which belongs to the Worlds, officially arrived.

Li Luo has reason to suspect that Riot did this on purpose, after all, last year, Riot finalized the World Championship version much earlier than now, giving the major teams enough buffer time.

But this time......

Even for the teams that made it directly to the group stage, let alone the play-in, it was a bit rushed.

On the day we arrived in Korea, the EDG people had a meeting.

Everyone was in the training room, looking like the top students in a high-quality high school, and I didn't know if my grades would have changed if I had focused on my studies.

On the plane, Lee had carefully analysed the two versions that would determine the direction of the World Championship.

However, in the end, Li Luo only came to one conclusion.

Smoke grenades.

The fist is setting off smoke bombs.

Both versions have a large number of heroes tweaked.

First of all, Li Luo is most concerned about the ADC aspect.

There are actually two ADC adjustments, one is that Lucian has been strengthened, and the AD bonus damage of his Q skill has been increased by 0.2.

This is a big boost for Lucian, and it can take the already strong Lucian up a notch.

However, the previous mobility against Lucian, that is, the weakening of the E skill, made it impossible for this version of Lucian to become a later powerful AD like the most powerful version before.

To put it bluntly, it's a bit of a chicken rib.

In contrast, Kai'Sa slashed extremely hard before the World Championship.

Kai'Sa's passive trigger damage is 15-20% of the target's lost health.

Now it's 15 percent of all grades.

This means that Kai'Sa in the later stage has been greatly reduced, and the ability in the early stage has not been strengthened, and from the data level of the version alone, Kai'Sa seems to be going to become an abandoned ADC.

But Li Luo combined his impression of the S8 World Championship and other changes in these two versions, but realized that Kai'Sa may still be active in the arena as a mainstream hero in the World Championship version.

For no other reason, there are so few adcs that can be used in this version.

There are even fewer ADCs with some flexibility.

The Sword Demon, which had just been weakened before, inexplicably ushered in a strengthening in version 8.18, and the enhancement was not small.

Sword Demon, which has enhanced E skills and ultimate, is a hero that will become 100% mainstream in the version and will not have the slightest surprise.

And the S8 World Championship version is also very similar to the original S5 in that the hero of the Noshou has also ushered in a significant enhancement.

It's just that in Li Luo's impression, no one seems to have taken out his hand in the S8 World Championship.

In terms of junglers, the fast-paced jungler Spider Queen and Mantis have been enhanced to varying degrees.

In the unilateral Akali was weakened, and the damage of the ultimate was reduced, but the overall hero mechanic was there, and the weakening effect of the ultimate damage was not so great in comparison.

Combined with the experience in his memory and Li Luo's own understanding of the game, the fog of the S8 World Championship version was gradually cleared by him.

EDG's players are very convinced.

So when Li Luo analyzed the version, everyone listened very carefully, even the coach Abu.

"To put it simply, this Worlds version has a lot of smoke bombs, and heroes like Praying Mantis and Spider Queen will be very chicken if they can't get the rhythm."

Li Luo's gaze swept around, and he said slowly: "For this version that as long as the lineup is good enough, even if there is a disadvantage in the early stage, you can counterattack with a group in the later stage, this kind of extreme rhythm hero is not very suitable." ”

"I'm not worried about it most of the time when the unilateral hop warrior will become mainstream, but we have to pay attention to one hero on the BP side, and that's Akali."

Li Luo's words made Xiao Tianyi spread his hands: "It's over, we're stupid on the list, this thing can't be played." ”

Jin Gong glanced at Xiao Tian, but rarely did not refute.

He had to admit that what Xiao Tian said was actually right.

Jin Gong also felt that the hero Akali was not suitable for him.

"But ......"

Li Luo changed his words: "We can take Akali in the middle lane, this is our advantage, by the way, this version of the team that can swing in the middle and upper will be difficult to deal with." ”

"We're not good at that, but as long as we have one or two systems that can swing like this, it's actually enough, and we just need to play what we're good at."

"Also, No's version of the trap, don't practice."

Li Luo said directly to Jin Gong: "This thing is very good now, but the limitations in the game are too great, and we don't need to train a hero who can't be used in order to score points in this time period." ”

"Understood."

Jin Gong nodded.

For professional players, which heroes are strong in a version, players can more or less feel through the usual rank training.

Although this feeling may not be all correct, it is still very valuable in most cases.

Nojo has a lot of limitations in the race, because he can't lead a sprint.

It's too easy to be walked with TP.

According to the recent joint research of EDG everyone, the mainstream mid-laner heroes of the S game are either functional heroes such as Galio and Lisandro, or heroes with strong playing lines such as Sindra and Enchantress.

A lot of control is a common trait of these players.

The popularity of heavy warriors is bound to mean that the threat of the top laner to the C position has increased significantly, and in this case, the choice of the adc position is biased towards heroes with displacement or mobility is already a sure thing.

Li Luo didn't know if the fist was unintentional or intentional.

Judging from the version, Wheel Mom can appear in this World Championship, and even have a chance to become mainstream.

In other words, one of EDG's signature tactics, the mobile fortress, has a lot of room for maneuver.

However, the hero's W skill of Ruiz has been nerfed in the World Championship version, and the control time of the enhanced W has been reduced by 0.5 seconds.

The essence of moving castles is to push the tower on the one hand, and to catch people on the other.

The 0.5 second control nerf is easy to foreshadow in this situation, and of course, more importantly, Ruiz has no way to gain an advantage in pushing lanes in the face of many mid-laner heroes in this version.

Riot's enhancements to multiple ADCs a few versions ago don't seem to be working in this Worlds either.

On the contrary, Vayne has once again ushered in a boost, and his Q skill has a CD reduced by two seconds when the skill level is low.

This is not a small strengthening.

It's just that given the heroic nature of this thing, it's probably unrealistic to make it stand like Kai'Sa in Worlds.

But the strengthening of this thing is a good thing for Li Luo.

"That's probably what we need to pay attention to in the Worlds version, and we still have to use the play-in team as guinea pigs to provide us with references."

After Li Luo finished speaking, he bowed slightly: "This World Championship is not too targeted for us, of course, it has not been strengthened. ”

"That's pretty good, better than I expected."

Abu said with a smile on the side.

This is like the adjustment of the class balance in DNF, some classes have been strengthened, while others have been stagnant, although they have not been weakened, but they are still weakened from the perspective of relativity.

But on the whole, as long as it is not weakened, it is acceptable.

"That's it, everyone have a good rest tonight and start training tomorrow."

Abs didn't have anything to add to himself, Li Luo's analysis was thorough and comprehensive, so he simply let the players rest, and he could devote himself to BP.

"Adjournment."

End of meeting.

The contestants didn't feel much sleep.

Because some people are hungry.

After landing, they had a very hearty Korean meal.

There are as many as six dishes.

But in the crowd present, except for Jin Gong and the junior brother, almost everyone else did not have enough to eat.

So after voting, everyone unanimously agreed to go for a barbecue.

Since there is no need to participate in the play-in tournament in Seoul, the city where EDG everyone landed was Busan, where the group stage was held.

As one of the larger cities in South Korea, it is quite easy to find a barbecue restaurant, and the price is not bad.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Tian, who was swiping his mobile phone, suddenly said: "Brother Luo, I feel that something dirty is targeting you." ”

"What?"

The junior brother sitting next to him leaned in curiously, and then smiled: "Brother Luo, you are at the top of the poisoned milk list." ”

"This is not surprising, Lao Li would be surprised if he is not at the top of the list, anyway, I haven't paid attention to this year's list, who are they?"

Meiko, who was sitting beside Li Luo, said with some curiosity.

It's no wonder that Meiko said this, long before the World Championship quota was finalized, whether it was a professional player on the Internet or in the circle, everyone knew that the first place on this year's official "Top 20 Players" list of Riot would inevitably be Li Luo.

Spring Champion, Mid-Season Champion, Continental Champion, Asian Games Champion, Summer Champion.

This year, Li Luo won all the championship awards, and also won eighty percent of the final FMVP.

There is no evaluation for the continental competition, so it is said that it is eighty percent.

This means that in the main match, the probability of Li Luo getting the FMVP in the final is 100%!

At the same time, Li Luo is also the MVP player in the regular season of this year's summer season.

The MVP player in the spring game was given an IG midlaner Rookie who won eighteen consecutive victories, which is not surprising, after all, Li Luo has been playing functional ad with his teammates for a long time in the spring game.

ADC players are also more difficult to obtain MVP than other positions.

Especially in the kind of games where there are no two teams in a game, the MVP is usually given to the players who drive the team's rhythm in the early stage or decide the direction of the game.

“target=“_bnk“>>

For EDG, which focuses on Uenakano in the spring game and hones Jingong's ability, the proportion of MVP in Uenakano will be higher.

In the summer game, EDG shifted its focus to the lower half of the region, and Li Luo's MVP count naturally increased.

With so many honors, and Li Luo is also the champion of last year's World Finals, this top1 player has long been him.

"I'll look at ......"

Xiao Tian glanced at the list: "There are a lot of players on the list in our LPL this time, more than the LCK, Brother Luo is the first, Rookie is the second, Uzi is the sixth, Theshy is the seventh, Tian Ye ...... You're eighth, Xiao Ming is 12th, I'm fifteenth, 7th sauce is sixteenth, hey, I'm still in front, Jack loves 19th. ”

"Li Xiaocan, you are the 17th, this is a serious underestimation of you."

After Xiaotian finished speaking, he habitually started the sword mound: "Hey, no one is embarrassed." ”

Jin Gong was not angry, just smiled, and then picked up the barbecue tong and squeezed it tightly, gesticulating a posture to poke.

Not surprisingly, Xiao Tian was intimidated.

Li Luo also heard the content of the list and thought about it.

According to Xiao Tian's retelling, there are indeed a lot more LPL players this time.

There are 10 seats in the top 20 and 5 in the top 10.

Four of the other five are South Korean players, and one is a snake snake from the lightning wolf.

"Brother Luo, so far it seems that only S5's faker has escaped the poisonous milk curse of the fist, but I believe you will be the second."

Xiao Tian tried to divert the attention of Jin Gong, who was just around his neck, by changing the topic.

"As long as someone breaks the spell, it's not a spell."

Li Luo said with a smile.

The EDG people who returned to the hotel did not rest immediately, but each played two more ranks before returning to the room.

This has become a habit for the players.

The low-latency Rank environment really made a noticeable difference to the players.

You must know that if you play Hanbok in China, most of the latency is maintained between 30ms~40ms, and there are many times when the delay fluctuates.

But in Korea, even the temporary training room of this hotel can be stable within 10ms, which is very comfortable.

It's just that the good times don't last long.

Li Luo's account plummeted by 200 points in one day.

This incident is gradually fermenting in domestic forums.

Players with Hanbok have begun to target maliciously.

The number of rankings played by players from the Asian Games to the playoffs is not as high as usual, and the players themselves in the offseason have nothing to do with the ranks, so the scores of the players of the strong teams are not high at this point in time.

Li Luo's account still has 700 points left before he can train for the World Championship.

Now it has fallen below five hundred in the blink of an eye.

You must know that the hidden scores of professional players are relatively high, and usually even if they lose the rank, they will not be deducted many points.

And Li Luo rarely has a page full red, and every record is excellent.

It's just that when you click on the battle record, you can see that all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods occupy the rest of Li Luo's side.

At the end of the day, even a fool knows what's going on.

A certain tooth, in the live broadcast room of Star Mark OB.

"This Brother Luo is going to lose again, it's just a matter of choosing Zelas to come out, and I've been in the K soldier, and K will show his expression when he drops the creep, isn't this intentional? On the other side, it is still GEN's illegal three-row ...... Emperor Ruler has a chance to C. ”

As an anchor, Star Scar was also very annoyed by OB this day.

What annoyed him even more was the NT barrage that deliberately came over as a skewer.

This is really a grudge game.

GEN's bottom lane duo is together.

Li Luo brought an inner ghost on the lower road to line with him.

Not to mention that Li Luo doesn't have three heads and six arms, even if he does, he has to consider whether the hero himself has such a high strength, right?

At this moment, a barrage fell in the eyes of Starmark.

"Shine saw that GEN only had to run."

This simple sentence seems to have reached the threshold of star marks.

At this moment, as an anchor, he calmed down and nodded: "Indeed, if you run slowly, the trophy will be deducted." ”
