Never before had a team with such popularity as EDG.

There has never been a team like EDG today, as long as they participate, the audience has absolute confidence.

Wait for the cheers to pause.

Mr. Jin Yibo and Mr. Lin Song took the stage and presented EDG with a large honorary plaque printed with the words "1.5 million bonus".

"We have an exciting time to witness."

Ren Dong had a smile on his face: "After watching this wonderful BO5 battle, we are going to select the MVP of this finals, can you tell me the answer in your heart?" ”

“General！”

“General！”

“General！”

“……”

There was a chorus of shouts from the audience.

Another MVP gold medal was sent to Xing Dao, which made the atmosphere reach the last climax of the day.

Of course.

The online carnival has just begun.

For LPL audiences, even if they support other teams, the fact that they have absolute dominance over EDG is a joy to see - few people will reject a legend who has been killed with hard power.

What's more, the competition for the World Finals is about to begin.

As an LPL card, EDG, of course, the stronger the better.

"When General was at LSPL, I said he was definitely not a thing in the pool."

ADC Grandpa smiled and praised during the live broadcast: "But any player who can dominate the LSPL is definitely not bad when he arrives in the LPL, and the one with a slow growth rate is now one of the strongest mid laners in the LPL." ”

"General was ordered two years ago and fought under unprecedented pressure, and the back is really a flat horse."

"Who will be the other two teams participating in the S Tournament?"

"RNG will definitely be able to enter, they are not only stronger than other teams, but also have a layer of resurrection armor on their bodies, the last one is really hard to say, they all have a chance, it depends on the specific performance."

The LPL is the best region, with four spots to participate in the World Finals.

The No. 1 seed is the Summer champion.

The second seed is the team with the most points in the whole year except for the summer champions.

Next, the two teams with the third best points in the year and the best summer season (postponed if there is any overlap) will compete first, and the winner will qualify as the third seed.

The loser will face off again with the fourth- and fifth-place winners of the year, with the winner being seeded fourth.

Unsurprisingly, RNG secured a third spot in the World Finals.

The last spot was fought for by JDG, who were on the roster in the summer season.

September 17th.

When the game is all over.

The LPL departure ceremony was held at the Jinling Youth Olympic Sports Center.

The members of the four teams of EDG, IG, RNG, and JDG happened to stand on the four sides of the stage, wearing black hooded uniforms printed with dragon patterns.

On the big screen, there is a wallpaper composed of black and white tones.

Four large characters appeared on it.

- Peerless Warriors!

"MD, that's so handsome!"

"The cards."

"Do you know what a national soldier is, a national soldier!"

"EDG theme, huh?"

"One thing to say, there is nothing wrong with the EDG theme, and the fourth place is all won by EDG."

"Sprint for three in a row!"

"Green onions, green onions!"

“……”

The barrage was filled with cheering sounds.

Before the LPL, the qualifying places in other major regions have also been decided.

LCK No. 1 seed KT, No. 2 seed AFs, No. 3 seed (three-star), and summer runner-up GRF lost their qualification to the S series due to a bubble race loss + lack of points throughout the year.

The No. 1 seed in Europe is FNC, the No. 2 seed VIT, and the No. 3 seed is the well-known G2 team.

The first in North America is the well-funded TL, the second is the 100T, and the third is the C9, which has played well in all previous world championships.

The No. 1 seed in the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan LMS Division is still the Phantom God Lightning Wolf, the No. 2 seed is the second AHQ team purchased and renamed by singer Yue Wenle-MAD, and the No. 3 is G-Rex from Xianggang.

The winner of the Vietnam division is Big Buffalo PVB.

There are also a series of wild card teams from Turkey, Latin America and North America, CIS, Oceania, Xiaori, Brazil, etc., and they have to compete with the lowest teams in each major region (except South Korea) for a play-in round, which is to let the wild card experience the strength of the mainstream region.

Want to take it a step further?

This is not possible.

"Hey!"

"SKT didn't make it this year!"

The gesture read the list several times, and the excitement was overflowing.

"SKT has had a particularly poor record this year." The factory director smiled and said: "They barely made it to the playoffs after transferring the auxiliary Wolf to the jungler in the first half of the year, and it was even worse in the second half of the year, and they didn't even enter the playoffs...... The bubble game was okay, but it still lost 2-3 to Samsung. ”

"I don't think Samsung will be able to do it this year." Xing Dao interjected.

"How?" The director was very curious.

Although Samsung is the third seed in the LCK, according to the ranking, it is the weakest one.

However, in the process of qualifying, Samsung not only defeated SKT, counterattacked the LCK summer runner-up GRF, and finally swept the LCK spring champion KZ with a 3-0 record.

Each fight is better than the last.

There is a feeling of constant transformation and improvement.

The director believes that the Samsung team must not be underestimated, and even feels that Samsung is more tricky than AFs.

However, as the absolute core of the EDG team, Xing Dao also participated in the tactical system setting to a considerable extent, and often assumed the responsibility of on-the-spot command, coupled with the performance of turning the tide many times before.

When there is a conflict of thinking, the factory director often chooses to believe in Xing Dao.

"It's S8 this year......"

Xing Dao paused when he said this, and seeing that the other teammates hadn't reacted yet, he sighed deliberately: "Don't you know that the Samsung S8 will explode?" ”

"Damn, I have an opinion, Brother Jie!" Ah Shui's eyes lit up: "There was a preview last year, Samsung S8 exploded!" ”

"Hahaha

"Samsung played itself to death in advance, right?"

"It would be interesting if Samsung really exploded this year."

The crowd burst into laughter.

A few words of ridicule.

It's back to getting familiar with the new version.

After the playoffs, the national server was officially updated to version 8.18.

Sword Demon E's healing percentage has increased, the extra attack power of the ultimate has increased, and the combat power of the mid-to-late stage has been increased to a certain extent.

Akali had been arrogant in the professional league for too long, and finally took a stab.

The base damage of the ultimate has been reduced by 20/30/40 (per segment), and the total value has been reduced by 40/60/80.

Impact...... Basically, no.

Because Akali's core output is on E [Hayabusa Dance] and passive [Dragon Ring], the ultimate is not particularly important, as long as the minor skill and peace A are well mixed, the damage will reach the standard of overflow, and this weakening is more symbolic to give the player an explanation.

It was Kai'Sa who hurt more.

Later [Plasma]'s slash damage has been reduced by 5%.

Numerically, it seems to be about the same as Akali being slashed.

But.

Think about it.

- How many times can Kai'Sa burst the plasma in a normal Even-Match teamfight?

This weakening cannot be described as hurting the muscles and bones.

It should be said that a knife cuts to the major arteries!

Among the remaining heroes, Lucian's Q skill bonus has been increased a little, and it has little impact.

Ruiz's enhanced W restraint is reduced by 0.5 seconds, which is a relatively obvious sword.

Pig Girl E's damage is reduced slightly, and R slowdown is reduced from 3 seconds to 1 second, but Pig Girl doesn't expect this group to slow down, so it's not too difficult to accept.

September 24th.

The draw for the 2018 League of Legends World Championship has officially begun!
