That being said.

But the changes brought by the version are still very large.

The previous playoff version of the players was 6.16.

Now across two versions, many of the most popular heroes in the arena have changed their stats, and the impact on the arena is immeasurable.

Very simple.

For example, the Rock Sparrow's stats are weakened, causing the hero's ability to push lanes to be weakened.

First of all, it's the middle lane......

Traditional mages like Clockwork and Victor, who were not fast enough to push the thread quickly in the early stage and were very cumbersome, were given room to survive.

The middle road is the most important of the three roads that can radiate the entire canyon.

Changes in the ecological chain of the middle lane will affect the changes of other paths.

Like what......

Pig girl, Zack and other weak junglers, in the past, a rock sparrow in the middle of their own lane can also use the super ability to push the line in the middle to help protect the wild area, even if the opposite side selects a man gun, leopard woman and other wild areas are very strong junglers, as long as they have the right to line in the middle, they don't have to be so afraid of being counter-wild.

But now?

When you face these strong junglers again, you have to think differently.

Similarly.

The hero selection of the top laner will also be affected.

Heroes like crocodiles, who have the right to cooperate with their teammates but are very weak in team play, will completely lose the opportunity to appear.

Originally, with such a hero, you can use the hero mechanism to grab the right to the line on the road, and then use the advantage of the rock sparrow to push the line fast and support the fast side lane to force the tower, and then keep snowballing on the top lane.

Now such a tactical line of thought will not work.

It seems that the crocodile's value has not been weakened, but if you think about it according to this logic, there will be a kind of slash that seems to be cut on the body of the rock finch, but it is actually slashed on the crocodile's main artery.

The weakening of a hero often brings about a chain reaction.

And the space for the crocodile to appear on the road is limited, so ......

Other heroes who are restricted by crocodiles will also be given a different direction to get a space to appear.

For example, Kenan and Rambo, these heroes are not very afraid of playing crocodiles in the line, but they are afraid of the linkage between crocodiles and teammates, and now that crocodiles can't play, they will naturally be able to get the opportunity to appear.

And once the top lane becomes Kenan and Rambo play, the bottom lane must also play soft support in order to grab the right to the line.

This series of ripple effects will result in a very crispy lineup on the field, and there may be a lineup with zero front rows, which will give a hero like Sindra a lot of room to play.

After all, Sindra's ultra-high explosion in the middle of the game, even if it can't be killed in seconds, can make a crispy hero completely lose its combat effectiveness, thus forming the advantage of 'more fights and fewer fights' on the field.

There are many changes like this, and these need to be explored slowly, and the logic can not be sorted out all at once.

The players don't have much to do other than practice day in and day out.

The visa was processed quickly.

During this time, Li Hansheng and his teammates also cooperated with the LPL official side to take a lot of handsome photos of the expedition.

Meanwhile.

TOP's official Weibo also appropriately released a lot of photos of the players taken on the spot when the draw results of the group stage were announced.

Li Hansheng, who has always been calm in the picture, naturally became the focus of fans.

[Shengbao is so handsome! It's about having that mentality! 】

[Don't say anything else...... As far as Brother Hansheng's mentality is concerned, the TOP should produce results! 】

[That's it!] Always hoping for luck and a weak opponent drawn in the group, but what about the knockout round? You'll always meet tough opponents, sooner or later, and if you want to be a champion, you'll have to beat them all! 】

[Brother Hansheng rushes to the duck! ] Rush the duck! It's really up to you this year!

】

It was almost the 15th, and the visa was finally processed.

After the two teams, who were also going to the United States for the World Championships, agreed, the three clubs agreed to take the same flight abroad.

…………

"It's the first time I've gone abroad, and I've heard that if I'm going to the United States, the plane will fly in the sky for more than ten hours?" Shi Senming looked around nervously, rubbing his hands against the seat belt in front of him, as if this thing could give him a sense of security.

"12 hours to be exact." Li Hansheng has never been abroad, but he has checked on the Internet in advance, and he smiled, "What are you afraid of?" Could it be that you are still afraid of accidents? ”

"yes, there's no need to worry." The factory director on the side has participated in many international competitions, so he has a lot of experience, and he also cited data to popularize science, "The aviation accident rate of airplanes is less than 1 in 200,000, which is much safer than you drive out or take a taxi normally." ”

"Yes, yes." Li Hansheng nodded, "I heard that the plane either doesn't have an accident, and the mortality rate after the accident is as high as 100%!" ”

As soon as they heard this, Shi Senming and the others became more and more nervous, and the anxiety on their faces seemed to be reminiscent of the air crash movies they usually watched.

The factory director flashed dead eyes, "Do you usually scare your teammates like this?" Are you really not afraid of being beaten by them? ”

"Afraid of what?" Li Hansheng said with a smile, "As long as I usually hit my teammates to death, then others can't beat my teammates, I'm strengthening and exercising their psychological quality!" You don't understand! ”

"If you really want to talk about it, they should all give me a kowtow and thank me!"

The director of the "............" factory was stunned for a moment by Li Hansheng's 3W block shouting out 300 million postures, and then rolled his eyes, "Let me tell you, you will be beaten in our team like this." ”

"Whew!" Li Hansheng's smile became brighter and brighter, and a wave of murderous heart, "Is there a possibility?" That's why we're champions and you're runners? You tell me? Runner-up jungler? ”

"Hahahaha!" Ah Shui laughed with joy.

Shi Senming and the others saw that the factory director was squeezed by Li Hansheng to the point that they couldn't speak, and they didn't have the nervous look on their faces, which seemed a lot more natural.

"That's right." Meiko smiled and interjected, "Instead of worrying about the plane accident, it's better to think about how to get rid of jet lag." ”

This is the experience of those who have come before.

Jet lag and adaptation welcome is a hurdle that needs to be passed when going to play abroad.

If you can't get used to it, your body will get sick easily, and getting sick will affect your performance on the field.

The reason why I went to the United States more than half a month in advance was also because of this consideration.

Let the players have enough time to adjust to the time difference and work and rest and adapt to the local environment, even if they are not suitable at the beginning, there is enough time to adjust, after all, participating in international competitions is not like playing in the league, simply report, it doesn't matter if you change all five positions.

According to Riot's official tournament rules.

A team at Worlds can carry a total of seven players, five starters plus one substitute and one emergency substitute.

An emergency substitute can only be substituted if the substitute player has some accident that prevents him from playing normally.

In the end, the decision was made by discussion within the team.

The substitute is Ah Shui, and Ming is an emergency substitute.

As for Gao Tianliang?

The club reported him as a member of the training team and took him abroad with him.

This kind of experience of playing abroad, even if you don't play in person, can be regarded as a valuable experience in your career to be able to follow the whole process of the team.

TOP and EDG had a great conversation, and there were no grudges between each other.

Deft, Pawn, and Imp were also former teammates and had some personal friendships.

The RNG team members were relatively quiet, Xiaohu looked at Li Hansheng and the others who were talking, and quickly glanced at Uzi, who closed his eyes and was resting, which was quite a tiger-style second smile.

He simply spoke.

"How's your training session going?"

"It's okay, that's it, after all, they're still trying to figure out the version." Li Hansheng's answer was ambiguous, and he immediately asked, "What about you?" ”

"Not too optimistic duck." Xiaohu sighed and laughed at himself, "Our situation is a bit bad, we haven't won much. ”

It is also a training match for R in Group B.

Then there are only SSG and SKT and TOP and EDG.

There have been grievances between each other, but there is a normal course between the private training matches.

Although Xiaohu did not say it explicitly.

But Li Hansheng is well aware of the problems faced by this RNG.

It's a problem that they haven't solved since Uzi joined the team.

That's ......

In the end, it is still the main Nosuke linkage, allowing Mata to leave the line and give full play to his command ability.

It's better to protect Uzi to maximize Uzi's laning ability.

The main thing is:

If you continue to focus on the Nosuke linkage, RNG is not without attempts.

They originally wanted Uzi to be the positioning of S4's Samsung white imp, that is, the large version of Wuxin.

But reality tells them too.

Uzi would not have been able to take on that position, nor would he have been able to become a large version of Wuxin.

So they can only defend Uzi now.

And the current version also attaches great importance to the right to the line of the lower road.

But here comes the problem again.

The soft-assisted version is very much about the auxiliary line-to-line ability, and the problem is that the mata line-to-line ability is not good.

He and Uzi can't play the role of 1+1>2 at all, and even his weak laning ability will drag Uzi down.

He was tired of the line and couldn't play the role of the team's brain.

This is the biggest problem facing RNG right now.

And......

Although the World Championship version attaches importance to the right of the line in the lower lane, it does not mean that the lower lane can produce a big nuclear shooter.

It's all the kind of tool man shooters with average carry ability in the late stage, but RNG doesn't have that chance if he wants to play four guarantees and one.

Again, that's the same sentence.

The lineup is not blindly stacked with stars, and the most perfect situation is to find five correct people on the premise of meeting the basic ability.

RNG was originally used as a team that had built a good basic framework and tactical play.

Finding a player with top personal ability like Uzi seems to be an increase in strength on paper.

But in reality?

Uzi's individual style of play has been set, and he plays that way no matter which team he goes to.

He can't adapt to the team, so the team has to adapt to him.

If so.

There will always be one person who will not be able to adapt, and the team, weighing the pros and cons, will obviously choose the stronger side to compromise.

Mata was the one who was abandoned.

So he's in a bit awkward position within the RNG team right now.

After communicating for a while, everyone began to rest at ease, and the journey of more than ten hours was not a joke.

You can't even get up and move on a plane, you're confined to a small space, and you can't pass the time on your phone.

Can only sleep.

Fortunately, Li Hansheng has experience, he deliberately stayed up late last night and didn't sleep, waiting for this time, looking for a flight attendant to ask for a blanket.

Huh.

A small quilt is covered, and no one loves it.

Put on your headphones and head to your chair for a restful night's sleep.

I don't know how long it took.

Ah Shui on the side woke up Li Hansheng, and looked out the window and could already see the high-rise buildings not far away.

It means that the plane has arrived in the sky above San Francisco, where the group stage will be held.

After a little jolting, the plane officially landed!

After receiving permission, the passengers unbuckled their seat belts and got up to leave.

The teammates are surprisingly consistent with Li Hansheng's thoughts!

After getting up, they shook their heads one after another, shaking their arms and legs to move their stiff bodies.

Only then did they leave the plane in an orderly manner.

It's noon in San Francisco, the sun is shining, and the atmosphere is suitable, lukewarm.

Li Hansheng took a few deep breaths and immediately teased.

"Hey, the air in the United States is no different from the air in China, I always read those public intellectuals on the Internet who say, what kind of free breath with fragrance, bluff me?"

"Brother Hansheng, if you can smell something else, something will probably happen." Ah Shui laughed and teased.

"Those who are known to deceive people who have never really gone abroad." The director also smiled.

Li Hansheng looked up at the sky and stomped his feet again, "World Championship, the master is here!" Are you ready to be ruled by us!

”

The sudden middle two breath burst.

Anyway, Li Hansheng has always been as long as I am not embarrassed, and it is others who are embarrassed.

The factory director looked at Ah Shui with a confused expression, "How long has the illness lasted?" Do you want to find someone in the fist to help contact the hospital? ”

"Normal." Ah Shui smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Hansheng is sauce purple, and occasionally he will suddenly be in the second place, nothing serious." ”

"!" Li Hansheng waved at them in disgust.

I don't understand the romance of men at all!

After all the staff got off the plane, they went to get their suitcases under the guidance of the staff.

Then take the passage to the other side of the hall.

The staff arranged by Riot have been waiting here for a long time.

The TOP Club has already contacted international students in San Francisco in advance and invited them to help act as tour guides, translators, and the like.

"Don't run around, even if you arrive at the hotel, stay in the hotel honestly, it's very troublesome to get lost, it's not like in China, you don't have to worry about public security."

"Even if you want to go out, try to find someone familiar with you to take you out."

Guo Hao also took the trouble to tell the team members all this.

Like he said.

Free America, shoot every day!

If you don't want to be killed by a real man and a man who shoots biubiu, you have to be very careful.
