Chapter 673: Breaking the Pattern of One Super and Many Strong?
"Welcome back the champions!"
In front of the EDG Club building on Lingshi Road, there are inflatable arches and two rows of flower baskets, and a red carpet that leads to the main entrance.
EDG staff, led by the boss Edzhu, greeted the athletes who did not participate in the Asian Games at the intersection.
The LPL playoffs will begin on September 5.
The time is very tight.
Therefore, the champion team did not announce the return information, and even politely rejected the proposal of the owners of several other teams to hold a ceremony.
But.
The leader in charge of the e-sports department of the Modu Sports Bureau made a special trip over.
Expressed celebration and encouragement to the team members, and finally awarded the Asian Games honorary certificate made by bronzing process.
And the gold medal is placed together, and it complements each other.
"This gold medal is pure gold, isn't it? How much is it worth? β
"Can I bite it?"
Jiejie looked at the four gold medals placed inside the crystal cover and asked curiously.
"Bite what bite!" Abu was not angry: "The gold medals are not pure gold, the main material is silver, and the gold is only a dozen grams, but this is an honor, and it can't be measured by whether it is worth it or not." β
"That's right, too!" Jiejie nodded again and again: "Then I can touch it." β
"Take it out and touch it, just don't bite it and don't break it." Xing Dao responded with a smile.
Don't wait for Jiejie to do it.
Ah Shui, who was on the side, rushed to the shelf first, uncovered the crystal cover, and carefully took out the gold medal with both hands.
It was passed on to Jiejie after touching it.
Jiejie is a lot more naΓ―ve than Ah Shui, who has the champion of the S series, not only looking at it over and over, but also hanging it around his neck and taking several selfies and sending them to the circle of friends.
Cryin, who has a shy personality, watched it for a long time.
I couldn't hold back.
I also made a set of photos.
After all, this kind of opportunity is not something that can be had.
If it weren't for being in the same club as the big brother who won the championship, it wouldn't be so easy to take a look.
More than ten minutes passed.
Cryin puts the gold medal back in place.
Start your training routine.
During the Asian Games, the national server version was updated to 8.16.
Popular heroes have been nerfed in general.
Sword Demon E's passive healing effect on attacking non-hero units has been reduced by more than half, from 33% to 15%, and the endurance has been reduced a lot.
The first time you learn the E skill, you no longer directly get a two-stack charge cap, allowing the Sword Demon to take a higher risk early in the game.
Zoe's passive and W damage has been greatly reduced, reducing the benefit coefficient by 0.125 and 0.15 respectively, and the most important thing is that the base damage of the passive [Fireworks] in the level 7-10 stage has been reduced from 48/53/67/73 to 34/40/46/52, which is nearly 30% lower damage in proportion.
No matter what kind of strong hero you face, you dare to slap your face unscrupulously, it no longer exists.
The duration of the Troll's steal attack is reduced and insignificant.
Low's health and armor are slightly reduced, so it's not a big problem.
The fine-tuning of Barbarian King, Monkey, Quinn, and Amumu is to balance the Rank, and it has nothing to do with the professional league.
Tank heroes generally have some more attack resistance, all talents can deal less damage and bonuses, and the healing cooldown has been reduced by 30 seconds, from 270 to 240.
Influential.
But it's not obvious.
After a little familiarity, you can guarantee that you will not let the remnant hero go.
"8.16 is not bad."
Abu looked at it carefully and thought for a while: "This change should be good for our team, what do you think?" β
"Absolutely!" The director of the plant is sure.
The main aspect of the sword demon is the anti-pressure aspect.
Does Xing Dao play sword demon to resist pressure?
Joke!
If he didn't put the sword as big as the door panel in his hand into the opponent's mouth, Xing Dao was in a good mood.
Zoe did drop a notch.
But for the EDG team with the upper lane as the core, it doesn't matter if the mid-laner hero becomes weaker.
It's no problem to take Galio, take the Enchantress, take Ryze, take Lulu, etc.
Zoe doesn't use it at all.
As for the reduction of the cooldown time of the healing operation, it undoubtedly makes AD a lot safer, and it is not so easy to act against the bottom lane.
The most affected is the champion shard RW.
The other teams didn't care.
From the EDG team's point of view, the designers have finally done a job.
The only uncomfortable thing is that according to the news that the designer broke the news, he wants to redo Nunu, who can cooperate with Ruiz to use the 'air-dropped atomic bomb' operation, and fight Xiaori in the future...... You may not be able to play a fun match when you are a child.
A few words were briefly discussed.
Played Rank for a long time.
EDG made an appointment with other clubs for training matches and returned to their original mode.
As opposed to the blandness of the players.
Outside, the atmosphere is very lively.
Tengjing officially launched the celebration of winning the Asian Games on time in the early morning of August 31.
All heroes are free to use for a limited time, give away one million permanent skins, and the benefits such as half-price sales of hero skins used by the national team from the qualifiers to the finals have pushed the popularity of the LOL national server up a lot.
The industry and even major mainstream media, and even newspapers have published the news that the League of Legends project won the gold medal.
Even players from Europe and the United States discussed the Asian Games.
In particular, the operation mechanism of Akali Flying Thunder God was shocked and caused a large number of players to imitate it.
For a moment, the Summoner's Canyon was filled with Akali flying around.
Because proficiency is generally not high.
The degree of trouble is the majority.
A few days down.
The big brothers in Europe and the United States have played Akali's win rate to 33.1% and 27.6% respectively.
After thinking about it, the designers felt that they really couldn't find a reason to weaken the hero, so they had to let Akali, a mechanic that can be called a bug in the game, continue to exist......
September 5th.
The first game of the LPL playoffs has officially begun.
In the regular season, the top four in the Eastern Conference are IG, RNG, JDG, and SNG.
IG, the overall champion of the Spring Tournament, once again overtook RNG after Theshy returned to the team.
The banknote capacity of the two major e-commerce companies has also played a great role and has achieved quite good results.
The top four in the west are EDG, RW, TOP, and FPX.
The rules of the competition are the same as before.
- Starting from the fourth place, the fourth face against the third place will be one game behind, and the winner will also give up the right to choose a side against the team above.
The first thing to do is the showdown between TOP and SNG.
The first two.
The Little Lion SNG performed very well.
Got the first win with the charging system of the top laner vampire, the jungler green steel shadow, the mid laner knife girl, and the bottom lane bounty with prudence.
In the second game, the bounty was banned by the top team.
SNG conceded Kenan from the bottom lane and rushed out another victory to stretch the score to a 2-1 lead.
It can be called a rainbow.
See here.
Both the commentator and the audience felt that the SNG team was going to complete the counterattack of the fourth in the East against the third in the West.
In the first two games, SNG performed very well at all points, and it is definitely not difficult to win another game in the same way.
Outcome......
The SNG with the match point in hand was inexplicably instigated.
not only engaged in a set of standard team battle system, but also gave Wolf Xing, who can definitely rank in the top five in the entire LPL, an Orn to resist pressure, lost two games in a row, and sent the top six in hand out in vain.
September 6.
The match between FPX and JDG begins.
FPX's top laners are West Eight Pillar Force Gimgoon, Jungler Alex, Mid Lane Old Form, Bottom Lane LWX and Liu Qingsong.
Gimgoon can use both offensive heroes as deans and pressure-resistant heroes as pillars to highlight where one needs to move.
The performance of the old state......
In terms of facts, it is indeed remarkable.
After all, talent and experience are here, and when you reach the end of your esports career, you are still much more serious than when you were younger.
LWX and Liu Qingsong, two newcomers, are also not fuel-efficient lamps.
However, JDG, which consists of Zoom, Clid, Toothpaste, LokeN, and Green Hair, performed a little better, and carried away FPX with a record of wins, losses, and victories, plus their own wins.
It's not that FPX is weak.
It's that JDG is stronger.
The fourth in the east and west did not complete the counterattack.
It stands to reason that the probability of a third counterattack is even lower.
The two teams, RNG and RW, have defeated LCK powerhouses in the continental competition, and are considered to be one of the 'one super and many strong' in the LPL region, and are not at the same level as the 'idlers, etc.) below.
September 7.
RNG casually practiced the lineup and won the TOP with a 3-1 overall record, and even played a 16-minute boost, which further strengthened everyone's cognition.
But what I never expected.
It's September 8th.
JDG played a 3-0 record against RW...... Slaughter!
That's right.
It's slaughter.
JDG is all in full swing.
The Korean aid jungler Clid, who debuted in LPL, completely overwhelmed Xiaofu from the initial rhythm to the role of the team.
Zoom defeated Ah Guang online.
Doinb and Iboy have not fallen behind and have built up some advantages.
But when it comes to the all-round disadvantage of the jungler and the top lane, the RW team has neither a rhythm point nor a mid-term big brother who can resist the pressure.
Even if the population and economic backwardness are not obvious, it will not be able to withstand the attack launched by JDG in the medium term.
This is true for every game.
Without exception.
"All of them were wrong!"
"Today we predicted a lot of results, such as RW 3-1, 3-2, and JDG 3-2, 3-1, but no one predicted the score of 3-0. β
"It's mostly JDG's 3-0." Haokai couldn't believe it when he saw it with his own eyes: "The previous view has always said that LPL is a pattern of superpower and many strengths, with a faulty gap, EDG is unique, and it is completely IG, RNG, and RW...... As a result, JDG showed such strength. β
"It's actually a good thing that new strong teams have emerged." Rita looks at it from the perspective of the entire division.
"That's right." Zhi Yu nodded: "In this way, the list of semi-finals in our LPL division is officially released, which is RNG, which is second in the east, against EDG, which is the first in the west, and JDG, which is third in the east, against IG, which is the first in the east. β
"Judging from this list, the long-debated question of which side of the East and West is stronger has finally come to an end."
In the top four, there are three eastern teams and one western team.
The contrast is clear.
"The Eastern team is really doing a little bit better."
When Haokai said this, he changed his words: "However, the playoffs are only halfway through, and there is an even more important second half...... I don't know if the three teams in the Eastern Conference that made it to the final four could threaten EDG's position. β
"Tomorrow at 16:30, the semi-finals of RNG and EDG will begin."
"Don't miss it!"
And tonight!
