With the draw for the groups over, the matchups for the four groups have been decided.

Not only did the participating players have opinions on their grouping, but even the domestic audience couldn't help but discuss it.

Naturally, fans of EDG and RNG are celebrating each other.

The 'pigs and dogs', who should be on the same page, have not been so stiff in their relationship in this time and space due to the addition of TOP led by Li Hansheng, and sometimes they will even help each other talk.

Ultimately......

The relationship between the fan group before is purely dependent on whether you are a threat to my idol.

Why are the fans of the director and the fans of Uzi always on the same page?

Because these two people have the same status, each other's fans are eager to step on it, so as to show that my idol is the strongest!

The psychology of many fans is outrageous.

The chain of contempt in their hearts is probably like this.

My fan idol is more powerful than your fan idol, which means that I am better than you, either you will change to a more powerful idol to follow, or you will honestly hold it for me.

Don't ask.

The question is what honor you have, what championship do you have??

Why Uzi's fans are suppressed by piglets everywhere during this period.

Isn't it because of ......

Did Uzi not get the first real big honor of his career until he was in S8?

What?

Is the 'S Race' champion an honor?

The Solo race is also an S race!

Are you spraying me with the director? Spray my factory director's foreign war garbage? Spraying waste Ming Kai is in the top eight every year??

Just one sentence for piglets!

Step on your bathing dog's head every year to win the league championship, what do you BB?

What champion do you have?

This sentence makes people angry, but you can't refute anything, after all, fans are so messy.

And in this plane is different.

Because the status of pigs and dogs is seriously threatened by Li Hansheng.

Wrong.

Uzi's status has long been overtaken by Li Hansheng, and although the factory director still has an advantage in the number of champions, it is only a matter of time before he is surpassed according to the strong momentum of TOP.

It's not ......

When the number of fans hasn't changed much, why has Lee Han-sung's popularity soared?

Isn't it because many people who should have become fans of the factory director and Uzi have become fans of Li Hansheng in this time and space? ?

Therefore, whether it is the factory director or Uzi, the number of their fans in this time and space is actually much, much less.

There are also those who are worried about the TOP, and of course there are those who watch the show.

[Can this group be a little more outrageous? It's really a group of death. 】

[Fist, this cliff learned from the UEFA people, right?] Knowing that there is traffic like this, you deliberately group it like this? 】

[No, no, no? Did Imp and Gao Dewei bring LGD's bad luck to the TOP? The No. 1 seed in the LPL wants to play another round in the group stage and become a purchasing team in the top 16? 】

[There is no harm if there is no comparison, RNG and EDG are not too easy, I doubt that they are giving Riot money.] 】

[RNG is okay, R doesn't look good, but it's also MSI runner-up, the European snake team also has the potential to be a water ghost, EDG is really outrageous, AHQ forces the team to occupy a place every year is a professional to send points? ] 】

[I estimate that the people in EDG were all smiling when they slept and dreamed last night, which is the rhythm of directly escorting them into the top 8. 】

It's no wonder the audience is pessimistic.

The main reason is that the world championship results of the LPL in the past few years are really worse year by year.

Especially considering the Waterloo encountered by S5, almost the self-confidence of the players in the entire competition area and even the audience was lost.

Even exaggeratedly, the kind where the spine bones are broken.

The audience in the entire competition area seemed to be suffering from a kind of Koreanophobia.

So......

LPL will seem to need an S championship to boost morale, not only the players need to boost morale, but the audience in the entire region also needs such an S championship to boost morale and get back those lost self-confidence.

Although it is not yet possible to officially travel to the United States, it does not mean that the TOP people cannot get to know their opponents in advance.

Not long after waking up, the team members who had lunch were called to the conference room for a meeting by the competition training team.

The main thing is to familiarize the players with the situation of the three teams in the same group in advance.

SKT is okay, they have made an appointment for a training match before, and although they can't be said to know each other as well as their opponents in the same division, they still know each other well enough.

Mainly G2 and C9 teams.

The last time we played G2 was in the MSI group stage in early May, and the last time we played with C9??

I'm sorry......

TOP and C9 don't have any record of fighting each other at all.

Not understanding is the most terrible thing.

You can only get to know each other through some of the information you gather before the game.

But the cold numbers themselves are deceptive.

Judging from the data alone, the factory director KDA is so high, you will think that he is strong and stable, but what about the senses in the game?

It's just that I'm cowardly and don't dare to start a team, I don't dare to sell myself in team battles to create an output environment for the C position, and I'm always the first to run, so I make KDA look good.

It's like......

It is said that Roxtiger's Ueno linkage is invincible, and it almost blew up the entire LCK.

But how do they work together?

Which line does Peanut use to catch it? What time do you like to go?

What are Smeb's habits when it comes to line exchange? Under what circumstances does the exchange of blood most likely mean that the jungler is coming, when is it pretending??

These things can't be obtained through cold numbers.

It has to be a personal fight with the opponent many times, and some conclusions can only be reached through continuous review videos after the game.

Why do strong teams always overturn in the group stage of the Worlds?

It's because I don't know enough and don't know the opponent's style of play, so I will be stolen by the other party successfully.

And.

It seems that TOP and G2 have a record of fighting, but that was half a year ago, and it was version 6.8 at that time.

Now in the past ten versions, changes in the game version will bring changes to the overall style of play of the team, and G2 will definitely change as well, so the head-to-head record between the two teams has no effect at all.

Even SKT, which has a record of training matches.

The last training match between the two sides was in August, when the version was still at 6.16......

Comparing the two versions that have passed now, the situation cannot be generalized.

And now.

SKT has confirmed that they are in the same group as TOP, and they will not make appointments with each other for training matches, at least until the end of the group stage.

White Crescent, along with the people of the training team, briefly talked about the three opponents in the group stage.

I shifted the conversation to the version.

Riot has recently announced the version used in the 2016 League of Legends World Championship.

It will be version 6.18.

And now the version of the national uniform is still in 6.17, which means that the players must go to Hanbok training if they want to experience the world version.

There aren't many changes.

There are no mid-to-large changes like 6.9 Mage Rise, Elemental Dragon Descent, and 6.15 One Blood Tower Bounty and Tower Pre-Protection Mechanic.

6.16, 6.17, and 6.18 are all those minor changes.

What is a medium to large change?

It's the kind of change that will change the way the team plays.

The minor changes are basically statistically adjusted for some popular heroes, so that they do not make the team change the style of play, it is nothing more than a change of the popular heroes in the arena.

But even so.

The preparation of the players will not be so easy.

For the top teams, they have to prepare for Worlds, but for the other teams, it's off-season.

It's no exaggeration......

90% of pro players don't want to touch a game at all in the offseason.

No matter how much you love a game that makes you mechanically and repetitively train for more than ten hours every day, you won't feel any pleasure in playing games when it really comes to this point......

The effect of this is that queues are longer and players are able to train less often.

But even then you have to fight hard.

Even if the national server is going to be updated soon.

No way.

This is a point recognized by players in the professional circle and even in the entire circle.

The environment of the hanbok is much better than that of the national costume.

It's not just about actors and sniping.

But......

Because the live broadcast industry in China is too developed, many unique brothers have been born!

What is Brother Unique?

As long as the heroes are not banned or redone, they have no brains to take them.

Version?

There is no version in the eyes of Brother Unique!

What is the purpose of a professional player's rank?

Maintain hot hands and practice heroes to gain laning experience.

But the problem is that almost all of the unique buddies in the national costume take heroes in the reverse version, and you accumulate with the barbarian king, the big head, and the alchemy...... What is the use of laning experience for this type of hero?

There are heroes in the game who don't meet once in a hundred or even a thousand games.

Playing against this kind of hero is ineffective training in the eyes of professional players, and it is useless except to waste your time.

Hanbok is different.

There are a large number of professional players themselves, and players on the Hanbok side are more inclined to follow the version to choose heroes.

Plus.

The server style is different.

Fights are frequent on the national side, and the overall rhythm of the rank on the Hanbok side is also more biased towards the game, so the training effect of the Hanbok will be better for professional players.

After explaining all this.

The white crescent moon only talked about the version update.

"It's basically some numerical changes, let's talk about the top position first."

"The damage of the passive shield and Q has been reduced, the captain's weakening has been more ruthless, the base health has been cut by 40 points, the blue cost of W has been increased, the damage of each wave of shells in the ultimate has been reduced, the level 1 ultimate has been increased by 20 seconds cooldown, the level 2 has been increased by 10 points, and the level 3 remains unchanged."

Obviously.

Both Shen and Captain were nerfed because of the fact that these two heroes were in this version that emphasized down-to-lane.

The full-map support effect of the two heroes' ultimate is too strong, so it has been nerfed.

"Poppy has been strengthened, becoming meatier than before, and Jace has also been strengthened, E's blue cost is fixed at 40 across the level, and the first basic attack bonus of the ultimate switch Warhammer has changed from AP to AD! Raven's ultimate damage has been increased, which can be regarded as a small enhancement. ”

That's a huge boost!

Especially for Jace on the road.

Jace in the middle lane has a blue buff that will produce the Tears of the Goddess and then synthesize the magic cut, so the increase in reducing the blue cost is not obvious.

But for Jace, who takes the pure armor-piercing route on the upper lane, this is a huge strengthening, which means that Jace can consume more frequent shots in the middle of the game.

The change of the direct ultimate bonus algorithm is also a big strengthening!

Before, it was an AP bonus, and Jace would not be able to release AP equipment, but now it becomes AD, which means that Jace's instantaneous explosive ability will be further improved, and the kill line will be even higher than before!

"Ghost ......" Ah Shui's eyes widened, "Jace is still strengthened?" When the other teams of Nima faced us, Jace was not allowed to buy a house? ”

"That's a good thing." Condi grinned, "Lao Li let the opposite side bear more BP pressure, we won't be lineup, and it will be easier to get the hero we want." ”

"That's right." White Crescent nodded, and sighed again in his heart, coaching Li Hansheng really relieved him of a lot of pressure.

Lee Han-sung helped the team share a huge amount of pressure in the BP stage, turning a less popular version of Jace's hero into a hero that other teams had to spend a valuable ban to target when facing the TOP.

This kind of ban targeting will bring benefits to the whole team!

It means that the people of the other roads of the TOP will be further liberated!

"Then there is the jungler position, the excavator ultimate and E's CD are slashed, and the growth armor and basic armor are cut, this hero ...... In the future, I basically can't play, and the barrel is also slashed. ”

Both versions 17 and 18 weakened the Excavator, and Riot's intention was obvious, so that this hero would not play and make room for other heroes.

"Blind Monk W has strengthened a little, Xiang Renjie can consider it in the future, but I think maybe the leopard woman and the male gun will become the version of the wild area of this World Competition, it depends on the final choice."

Excavator and Barrel, two heroes with a high percentage of appearances in the Summer Tournament, will also follow in the footsteps of others and temporarily leave the professional stage.

The weakening of the barrel is also obvious.,Originally, the barrel could EAR steal a flat A before losing the ultimate.,But now you can't do that.,E must be connected immediately after the R.,As long as you steal a flat A.,You'll be handed over by the opponent flash or displacement skills.。

As for the middle lane.

The impact on TOP is also huge.

Some of Gao Dewei's favorite heroes in the summer game.

Ice Girl's growth health has been nerfed, and the enhanced Q of the Rock Sparrow in version 6.10 will deal an additional 50% damage to creeps, and now this passive effect has been directly canceled, and the damage of the E skill has also been nerfed.

It means that the rock sparrow can no longer use its super ability to push the line brainlessly to support his teammates on the side, and this kind of rhythmic hero has no line power, which basically means leaving the schedule and having no possibility of appearing.

"But the clockwork has been strengthened, Ah Wei can try to use it, but now that there is no egg cap, can you still use it?" The white crescent moon laughed and teased.

"It's not difficult for this hero to operate, what's not to do?" Gao Dewei smiled contemptuously, "There are still many heroes I can use." ”

"As for the lower road, the wheel mother, the cold ice, and all of them have been weakened to a certain extent, but it does not affect the strength." The white crescent shrugged.

The lower road must be on the premise of consumable auxiliary line grabbing.

Then no matter how weakened the tool man shooter is, it will not affect the appearance rate, which is determined by the version of the play.

The auxiliary is the position with the least change.

Nothing has changed much.

The white crescent moon summarizes the changes in a small way.

"The version of the game is still around the bottom lane to compete for a blood tower, and the competition is the ability to snowball in the early attack, especially after the captain and Shen's two support top laner heroes are weakened, the linkage between the two wings and the team as a whole has further declined!"

"That is to say! The upper and lower wings emphasize more on the ability to match the line, and whoever can win the line will be able to grasp the advantage in the early stage, and the game will be cut into fragments, rather than relying on the overall linkage. ”

Hearing this analysis, Guo Hao's eyes widened suddenly, "Isn't this an excellent version for us?" ”

Who doesn't know that the fundamental factor for TOP to dominate the LPL league is that the players in the three roads have strong ability to play the line!

Li Hansheng won't say much about this hanging B.

Gao Dewei, this is the top genius who carried the banner of domestic mid-laner when the Korean aid mid-laner was wreaking havoc in the middle of the LPL!

Imp doesn't say much, even if his state declines due to alcoholism, but even if he only has the peak of 7 percent of his skills, he is also a world-class top ADC!

"It can be understood that way." White Crescent smiled, but he didn't say it so deadly, "The specific version still has to wait until the World Championship starts to be tested through actual combat, and now we are just simply deducing the general direction of the version through the version update content and some data." ”

There's nothing wrong with him.

The most typical is the S7 version, at the beginning, even the LPL division didn't realize that the incense burner monster was so outrageous......

In the first round of the S8 group stage, the whole world is learning RNG's four-guarantee and one-Kaisha face punching system, and they all think that this is the version of the answer.

Outcome...... In the second round of the group stage, everyone realized the correct version of the answer, RNG, which won all of them in the first round, suffered directly in the second round, and it was only through the play-offs that they obtained the qualifying places.

Actual combat is the only criterion for testing the truth.

There is a long schedule of almost a month before and after the Worlds.

It is not only a competition for the overall strength, but also for the ability of each team to learn, who can master the version faster, who can adapt to the version faster, so that they can really go to the end.

Why did the Korean team start low and go high in the Worlds version?

Very simple.

They didn't get to know the version at first, and they would pay the tuition fee to find the version.

But they have a mature coaching team, and basically only one round of the group stage can roughly understand the version of the style of play, so as to start to exert force.

"Anyway...... We will continue to work on the issue of the version, and recently we have asked the SSG and Roxtiger teams to do more training matches, and we will come back to the tactical review after we have collected enough samples. ”

"You can train and prepare now with peace of mind, take care of your health, and don't suddenly get sick when the World Championship is approaching."

And at this time, Guo Hao also stood up.

"The head office attaches great importance to the team's World Championship this time! In terms of food and accommodation, you can rest assured that it will be arranged properly, especially in terms of food! ”

"The meaning of the head office is also very clear, you don't have to worry about things outside the field, as long as you prepare for the game wholeheartedly and play well."

"I still follow the word, everyone do their best, don't have too much pressure, take the game seriously, as long as you don't leave yourself with regrets."
