Chapter 497: LPL Monster Lands in Berlin
As League of Legends grew in popularity and commercial partnerships grew, Riot expanded to eight wild cards ahead of the official group stage.
Together with Vietnam and LMS, which have not made any achievements in recent years, the first and second rounds of screening are formed.
When EDG arrived.
The screening round is on its third day.
Xing Dao looked at it with a curious mentality, and found that it was better not to look at it.
It's the S8 season, and the playing style and even the selection of individual wildcard teams are stuck two or three seasons ago.
To study these, it is better to rank a few more rounds.
As for training matches......
There have been certain twists and turns.
The EDG team, which won the annual Grand Slam + Double Championship achievement and participated in MSI as the defending champion, was regarded as the biggest opponent by other clubs, so it was closely guarded.
KZ did not hesitate to refuse to fight, leaving no room for it.
The European champion FNC, the North American champion TL, and the Taipei champion Lightning Wolf FW fought together.
But there are obvious reservations.
"Damn, they've been there, haven't they?"
Ah Shui finished a game without quality, and couldn't help but slap the mouse and complain.
The so-called training match with FNC did not see the operation of a professional team at all, and from beginning to end, FNC only used the development + grasp of this style of play.
Ou Cheng took a policewoman, only cared about mending the knife, and assisted in choosing a wind girl with strong protection ability.
Brush to ten minutes, and go on the road to determine the winner and loser.
Then it came garbage time.
This made Ah Shui, who had done a series of warm-up exercises and wanted to throw off his arms and have a big fight with Europe's No. 1 AD, was very unhappy.
"FNC is really a bit too much."
Meiko frowned slightly: "Electric Wolf is at least a little serious, TL is okay, FNC is just funny!" ”
"They want to win the championship." The director of the factory looked very open.
This MSI is using version 8.9.
In this version, AP Heroes has once again been fully strengthened after a major change at the beginning of the season.
Doran's Ring has been changed from replenishing troops to returning to blue to stationary returning to blue and +5 damage to creeps.
Earnings are more stable.
It is also a lot more comfortable in terms of mending.
In addition, AP equipment has generally improved its cost performance and strength.
For example, the price of the lost chapter increases by 200, and the law is 15 more.
Luden's Echo cost is reduced by 100 and his mana is increased by 100.
The price of the Orb of Binding Spell increases by 100, the base magic strength is 20 more, the total value of spell strength after active activation remains the same, and the movement speed bonus is changed from 30% to 50%.
Twin Shadows, Ice Staffs, Demon Codex, and subsequent equipment all add stats for free.
Heroes such as Sindra and Cassadine, who are suitable for European and American kings, have received a buff, one with +15% Q damage at full level, and one with a 50% increase in early shield value.
Of course.
It's not all enhanced.
One piece of equipment related to the AP has been nerfed.
That is the most suitable Goddess Tears for the mixed line, and on the basis of the price increase of 100 gold coins, more than one-third of the Hui Blue has also been cut.
Needless to say, it is needless to say who it is aimed at.
To know.
FNC midlaner is the European King of France, Cap King Caps.
TL midlaner is a Korean-American player with the nickname 'Beautiful Tiger' Pobelter.
KZ mid-laner is a non-C both send, the strength is not very stable, but the upper limit is high enough BDD.
The FW midlaner is the Gulf Tiger Maple.
Among the five major regions, the only one that could not benefit from version 8.9 was EDG with a bastard midlaner.
"It's okay, if you don't fight, you won't fight, there is another way."
Abu waved his hand: "I'll contact those teams in China, even if it's a holiday, five players can get together to top one, it's a big deal to pay them back a few more games in the summer." ”
EDG results are here.
The relationship with the other divisions is really not good.
But in the LPL, clubs that want to train with EDG can fill the main stage of Super Brand Mall.
Because the vast majority of clubs don't have the need to enter the Worlds, they just want a place to say in the past, show their faces in the playoffs, and brush their presence.
Fight with EDG, and learn some soup and water casually, which is enough for the middle and lower reaches of the team to drink a pot.
The most notable examples are Snake and RW.
One is on the same Lingshi Road as EDG, and has unique conditions, and occasionally you can visit the door.
One picked up the Champion Fragment from EDG, a bond of connection.
After the spring season, one was second in the West and one was second in the East.
Very telling.
So, it only took Abu a few hours to get it done.
Brother Saint Gun, Ning, Doinb, Iboy, and Xiao Ming temporarily combined together to serve as a sparring partner for EDG.
There are several substitutes waiting next to him.
But.
This kind of thing is more hidden.
It will not be known to the outside world for a short time.
The four teams of KZ, FNC, TL, and FW, as well as foreign media who have learned a little lace news, generally believe that EDG is in a dilemma where there is no quality bureau to play.
So much so that some media who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic have begun to speculate for the sake of popularity.
For example, "The World Champion Has No Training Match to Play", "Shocked, EDG Actually Made This Thing", "The Championship System Collapses, Can General Continue to Maintain Tens of Millions of Dollars", "The World's Top Ueno Is Addicted to Rank, Is It a Moral Degradation, Or a Distortion of Professionalism", "LPL Monster Landings in Berlin" and a series of posts that are mainly made up.
It's even better than the UC Shock Department.
"I'm going to go, Europeans are so good at gossiping."
Ai Lori, who followed the team to see the world as a substitute, swiped the English forum and Twitter, and was thundered by a series of remarks.
"Translate translation." The director was interested.
"It's the one that comes with the browser." Ai Luoli made a gesture: "It's all saliva, and I can basically understand it when I flip it." ”
"I'll see...... Not...... It's really funny. "The director has found a new way to have fun.
After a while.
At the invitation of the sponsor, Xing Dao, Ah Shui, and Meiko, who went to shoot a small advertisement, returned to the e-sports hotel.
While waiting for the sparring partner, they watched together.
"These people are outrageous compared to the party of Uncle Tieba, how can there be propaganda to rub the edges." Ah Shui discovers a little secret.
"It's not a rubbing, the German SQ industry is legal." Love Lori to do popular science.
"Really?" Ah Shui was very surprised.
"Really, I don't believe you." "During World War II, Germany was called a European brothel, and it has always been very open, if you meet a beautiful girl on the road to greet you, don't be too excited, she may want to do your business." ”
"Damn!" Ah Shui put on an indignant expression: "No wonder when I went upstairs, a girl in a robe and a headscarf asked me what my number was, it turned out to be this kind of thought." ”
"Isn't it pretty?" Gesture leaning over.
"Drifting...... It's not a thing that is not beautiful! Ah Shui was angry: "Fortunately, Brother Jie helped me refuse, otherwise I would have been disgusted." ”
"It's okay to talk about it, it's good to understand the customs, why refuse people." It's a bit of a shame to gesture.
"It's not that I refused, I misunderstood, I thought it was a number, so I told her that we always called names......" Xing Dao explained.
“???”
“????”
“???!”
Never sunrise...... Tonight and Sunday...... See how much sunrise you can get......
