Since important events such as MSI, Continental Championships, and Asian Games all take place from May to August, the recent schedule is very intensive.

The EDG team, which is the main force of the LPL, is either playing or on the way to the next competition venue.

The designed tactical system and hole card heroes were used almost unreservedly.

But.

Captain Ranche's big pit has never been discovered.

To this day, there are still teams that take a captain out of the face of tank heroes.

Moreover, due to the fact that the captain has changed from following the trend to stealing money to a targeted choice, coupled with the relatively higher proficiency of the user, the captain has a total win rate of more than 56% in the professional league, and he is already a hero that cannot be ignored.

This is obviously a good thing for EDG.

- As long as someone dares to choose a captain opposite Xing Dao, they will definitely be able to understand what despair is.

After a little research on the new version, the EDG team set off for Pudong International Airport to fly to the training camp in Seoul, South Korea, to familiarize themselves with the food and drink environment, and then make an appointment with the teams from other regions for a training match.

The rules of this year's World Finals have been modified compared to the past.

The first is the opening of the double substitution mechanism.

Before S7, there was only one way to bring a double sub.

That is, in the case that there are two foreign players in the starting lineup and the substitute is still a foreign player, it is officially mandatory to bring a local emergency substitute.

This emergency substitute will not be allowed to take the stage unless absolutely necessary.

To put it bluntly, it's just to avoid some shameless teams from taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules to patch the three foreign players.

In the S8 season, in order to treat everyone equally, the official made the decision to bring two substitutes to participate in the competition regardless of whether there is foreign aid in the team.

But.

In order to avoid the problem of champion skins being too cheap, Riot has upgraded the requirements for substitutes to obtain skins.

It's no longer a casual appearance that allows you to pick up skins with the team.

Instead, you must participate in at least two matches that affect the qualifying situation in the play-in and group stages, and participate in a knockout matchup to be eligible for custom champion skins.

In addition to the starting five, EDG brought Jiejie and gestures.

Jiejie has played in the semifinals and finals of the LPL, and his performance is quite good, and he has to rotate with the factory director.

As long as EDG wins, this skin will definitely not be able to escape.

But if you want to make the posture take the skin, the difficulty and risk are slightly higher.

"The knockout rounds depend on the situation."

Abu discussed with the team members in the waiting room: "If the weak team is drawn, Liu Zhihao (posture) has no problem in the last game, but it will not work if the strong team is drawn...... The play-in round has nothing to do with us, the two games in the group stage are easy to say, and the first round is done. ”

The so-called 'affecting the qualifying situation' is not a matter of life and death.

As long as the ranking is not determined, the game that does not matter whether you win or lose will affect the qualifying situation.

In addition to Samsung, EDG's Group B also includes LMS No. 2 seed MAD and a team that advanced from the play-in tournament.

As for the knockout round, it mainly depends on the draw for the quarterfinals.

Draw a weaker team and play a 2-0 score first, which will naturally allow the posture to go up to a skin game.

If you meet a strong opponent in the quarterfinals, there is really no way.

"Then I'll wait for him-hee-hee-hee......-hee

The gesture smiled happily.

As soon as I saw the news of the reform of the competition system, I thought that I didn't have a chance to rub my skin with my teammates.

If you don't think about it, the peak turns around.

As long as the signing is not too bad, the requirements can be met.

Highlight one overjoyed.

It is not far from Pudong International Airport to Seoul, South Korea, and it only takes one hour and 45 minutes to fly.

EDG everyone boarded the plane at 9 a.m., landed at Incheon International Airport before 12 noon, and then took a bus to the training base for this year's finals.

As far as the facts are concerned, the surrounding environment of the training camp is good.

It happens to be in the shade of two buildings, and it is quiet in the bustling city.

The room is north-south facing, the lighting conditions are very good, the overall area is slightly smaller but complete, not only has standard washing equipment, but also equipped with microwave ovens, gas stoves and other living utensils, if the food is not to taste, you can do it yourself.

Air conditioners, humidifiers, mosquito repellent equipment and other electrical appliances are readily available.

The training room is a separate room, and there are long computer desks in the hall for the players to use, and the bed has been moved out of what should have been a bedroom and changed to the layout of the coach's room.

The computer equipment has a slight flaw, but it is also acceptable.

Let the factory director, who has personally experienced the Dragon and Tiger Cup being pushed to the heights, and the referee has not done anything, has a lot of feelings.

EDG has just moved in.

The teams that arrived first sent invitations to the battle.

For strong teams, EDG is the biggest opponent, and they want to take advantage of the training match to find out and prepare for a rainy day.

Playing against EDG is a great learning curve for the weaker team, and if you can learn some useful tricks from it, you can help the team bite the next key game.

Researched.

Abu decided to try it all in order from weakest to strongest.

After all, LPL is the slowest update, and collisions with teams from other regions can deepen the understanding of the new version.

Even the weakest wildcard may have a whimsy that the mainstream region doesn't have, and it's not entirely without merit.

After a few days of simple discussions.

On October 1st, the week-long play-in tournament officially began.

There were no surprises.

The teams in the four mainstream regions of JDG, G2, C9 and GRX all won the first place in the group with an absolute crushing record in the face of wild cards, and then won the promotion place through the interchange elimination match between the first group and the second place in the other group.

In addition to C9's narrow 3-2 win against Vietnam's Big Buffalo.

G2 and GRX are all 3-1 easy to get out of the line.

JDG defeated their opponents 3-0 and advanced to the group stage without any suspense.

When the dust settles on the last play-in tournament and all the wild card teams are cleared out, this World Finals has entered the official stage of competing for the strongest teams in the mainstream region.

The full list of groupings is then displayed on the large screen.

Group A: FW, AFs, VIT, JDG

Group B: EDG, (Samsung), MAD, C9

Group C: KT, RNG, TL, G2

Group D: FNC, IG, 100T, GRX

"Congratulations JDG!"

Commentator Eleven was full of joy: "In this way, all four seeded teams in our LPL region have entered the group stage, and according to the grouping, they all have the opportunity to go further." ”

"Next, the teams that advance will have two days off."

"On the 10th of this month, all the teams participating in the group stage will compete fiercely at the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center."

"Let's wait and see what kind of results can be achieved!"

It should be almost better, but the cough is very bad, the chest and head hurt, and I can't write words if I have to cough for a while after typing a few words.

Drinking syrup containing special medicines can also hold it down for about half an hour.

When the cough is not so severe, it will definitely break out.
