Seeing that the Sword Demon was actually redone, all the road orders present, including TheShy, couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

You know, in the last version, Sword Demon was T1 in the qualifying matches of major servers, and it was even on the field.

In order not to lag behind the version, several of the top orders present did not practice less.

Even Doinb felt that this hero could play mid-laner, so he also practiced several mid-laner sword demons.

But now it's okay, the designer waved his hand and redid T1's sword demon, a completely different mechanism, a completely different positioning, from a light warrior to a heavy warrior, from a basic attack hero to a skill hero.

Everyone is starting from scratch!

And the current problem is that it is still unknown how the new version of Sword Demon will perform in the game, according to their feelings in the qualifying match, this version of Sword Demon is not strong, and blind practice is likely to be a waste of time.

At this time, Banbazi continued to flip the PPT, and then said: "You should have seen the detailed skills of the Sword Demon, so I won't go into details, here is the data of the Sword Demon Qualifying Tournament, you can take a look." ”

It can be clearly seen that a downward diagonal line intuitively shows how low the winning rate of the old version of Sword Demon was.

Version 8.12, the strongest version of the old version of Sword Demon, the win rate of Sword Demon even came to 53% at one point, but when it came to version 8.13, after Sword Demon was redone, the win rate was directly pulled to the end, and it fell directly to 35%.

The poles reversed and belonged to yes.

A rework, with an 18% drop in win rate.

Seeing this scene, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.

Through their feelings in the qualifying match, they all knew that the new version of Sword Demon was not strong.

But the garbage to this point is something they didn't expect

It seems that they don't have to practice.

"It's not over yet." Banbazi shook his head: "Actually, this 35%, 8.13 first-day win rate, on the second day of the version update, the designer temporarily added a hot patch nail. ”

Hotpatches, that is, designers directly modify the values of heroes individually, and there is no need for downtime and maintenance.

PPT toggle, showing the details of this hot patch.

HP is increased by 30, Q skill damage is increased by 5, E skill health recovery is increased by 5%, E skill dash range is increased by 50, E skill resets basic attack, and R skill cooldown 160/140/120 becomes 140/130/120.

"And then here's the change in win rate after the hotpatch goes live."

It can be seen that the effect of this hot patch is obviously there, and on the day of its launch, the win rate of Sword Demon quickly climbed to 40%, and now, it is close to 45%.

"Isn't that still pretty ordinary?" Xiangguo couldn't help frowning and said, "What's there to practice for a hero with a 45% win rate?" ”

"It's not that simple." Banbazi shook his head, "You know, if the win rate can slowly increase from 35% to 45%, it means that his win rate must be more than 45%, and I suspect that the true hit rate of the Sword Demon in the last few days has been close to or even more than 50%. ”

"But that's pretty ordinary!" Doinb couldn't help but say: "This new version of the Sword Demon is too stupid, it's a heavy warrior hero, and I feel that this kind of hero is generally difficult to play in the arena." ”

The most representative of the hoplites are Noshou and Galen.

This type of warrior hero is ruined as long as they can stick to their faces, which leads to their generally good performance in low-level qualifying matches with average distance control, and even a high win rate.

But when it comes to high segments, and even in the professional arena, heavy fighters can't stick to the face of the C position, which is generally synonymous with toys.

Even if the Sword Demon has a win rate of more than 50%, Doinb is not optimistic about how well this hero can play in the game.

Banbazi was a little undecided.

The positioning of the new version of Sword Demon is indeed reloaded, after all, it can be seen from the skill set that Q's mechanism is similar to Ruiwen, but it is obviously much more bulky.

But. The Sword Demon is obviously longer than the traditional heavy hand of the No's hand Galen, and with two E's in his hand, he is also much more flexible.

It's all reloaded, but the mechanics of Sword Demon are clearly superior!

Lack of match data, so Banbazi couldn't figure it out, and he decided to ask the professional.

"Chen Dongqing, what do you say?" Banbazi asked directly, "Do you think the Sword Demon needs to be practiced?" ”

Everyone turned their attention to the first one in the first row, which was the corner of the entire training room.

Chen Dongqing felt everyone's gaze and said directly: "Practice!" You have to practice, and you have to practice hard! ”

The Sword Demon is different from the sword girl Akali who was remade in the same year, he is not at the peak of his debut, and he has indeed experienced a long period of being despised for a long time.

It wasn't until a man put it on the field and played a powerful performance of the gods, and then everyone changed their opinion of this hero, and then the sword demon was never unpopular again, and it was hot until Chen Dongqing was reborn.

That's right, that man is. Attitude.

In the final of the 2018 Intercontinental Championship, he operated the sword demon with a posture, and directly hit the KZ three people with a QE in the big dragon pit, knocking out most of the blood of the three people, and was known as the first generation of gods.

This version of Sword Demon, after having a hot patch, is not only not weak, but strong as a supermodel!

Why is the win rate sluggish? The first is that the 35% win rate before the hot patch is too stretched, and it is difficult to increase the win rate for a while, in fact, the real win rate has already exceeded 50%.

The second is that this hero has just been reworked, and the player is actually not skilled!

Hearing that Chen Dongqing actually admired this new version of Sword Demon so much, everyone was a little surprised.

But in addition to the accident, many people expressed doubts.

Fuck, have you played the new version of Sword Demon? You're just going to put this on hold?

At this time, it was Xiaohu who took the lead in speaking: "OK, Brother Shu said that he wanted to practice, then I will finish practicing." ”

In Xiaohu's heart, his Brother Shu is the authority, and no one in this world can understand LOL better than Brother Shu!

As for whether the sword demon is strong or not?

I can only say that I believe that Brother Shu will give them the answer on the field.

Looking at the top and middle players of the leading team QG, they all recognized the sword demon, and of course the teams behind had no reason to refuse the sword demon.

"OK, no problem!" Doinb also patted his chest and said, "I've been practicing for the past two days, and I should be able to take it out soon!" ”

Doinb's main focus is a short hand and a long hand, so a hero like the Sword Demon can be regarded as playing right in his arms.

The players of the other teams had nothing to say about this, so they could only nod their heads in agreement.

Banbazi couldn't help but smile when he saw that the problem of the Sword Demon was easily solved by Chen Dongqing with a word.

That's the power of a regional leader.

Of course, Banbazi is a little skeptical about this.

After all, he knew. Chen Dongqing is really a new version of the sword demon has never played it.

Could it be that Chen Dongqing can know the strength of this hero just by looking at the skill set and values?

Of course, Banbazi didn't know that Chen Dongqing had been waiting for this sword demon for too long.

Banbazi reluctantly gathered his thoughts and continued: "In addition, the new hero Pike from the previous version has also been enhanced in this version. But Parker's performance in the professional arena wasn't great, so let's leave it aside for now, and it didn't affect us much. ”

"Then, there's a new talent, Cluster Blade, which provides explosive attack speed for the next three basic attacks. This is worth noting, this talent is a big enhancement for the popular version of the jungler Zhao Xin. ”

Then there are a lot of small changes to this version.

Actually, there are quite a lot, and there are nerfs for popular heroes.

For example, cutting EZ's basic armor and cutting the passive damage of the knife girl are actually not painful and will not affect the appearance of these heroes.

The most lethal is the weakening of the top single Victor.

Victor has been on the road for so long, and finally he is still stabbed.

As for the designer's knife technique this time, it is no different from weakening the top single Ike and the top single fishman back then - weakening the basic damage of the skill and increasing the skill AP bonus.

But the difference between Victor and Ike Fishman is that Victor was originally going to be out of AP in the later stage, so this time it wasn't a one-time cut on the entire gameplay, but just the early strength of this set of gameplay, which was quite acceptable.

Victor can still play on the top laner, but obviously not as exaggerated as before.

"That's all there is to it in terms of version changes." Banbazi flipped to the end of the PPT and finally said: "What other changes have been brought about by this version change, let's slowly summarize it in the training match." ”

In the next two days, in addition to the necessary shooting training, the rest of the time was basically spent in the training match.

The remaining seven players in the upper middle school racked their brains for the sword demon, and they fought one after another in the ranking and internal training matches.

But whether to say it or not, after they have played a lot, they have to admit that this new version of Sword Demon is really a bit strong!

Brother Shu is really right!

Chen Dongqing also tried this version of the Sword Demon in the training match, and felt the difference between this Sword Demon and the later versions of the Sword Demon.

Although the four skills are all about the same, in fact, the difference between the 18-year-old Sword Demon and the 22-year-old Sword Demon is obvious.

The most intuitive difference is that this version of the Sword Demon has two E, which is more flexible, the Q skill clearance efficiency has not been weakened, the line is cleared very quickly, and the ultimate can also be resurrected.

It is these advantages that allow this version of the Sword Demon to come to the medium unit.

But the shortcomings are also obvious: the damage of this version of the sword demon is far less than that of later generations, and the bloodsucking is better than nothing, and it can't do the kind of blood-pumping spectacle that has been poking a passive back a tube of blood for 22 years.

Clear the line faster, more flexible, and the ultimate has a resurrection, but the damage is low and the lifesteal is less.

Chen Dongqing has been used to playing sword demons for 22 years, and he really has to get used to this aspect.

In addition to internal training matches, LPL teams have not forgotten to play training matches against LMS and LCK.

In the training match in the outer division, it can be clearly felt that the other two competition areas do not seem to attach importance to the sword demon, and the training match has never been taken out.

In line with the idea of hiding privately, since the opposite side doesn't take it, of course the LPL team won't take it, and this sword demon is waiting to surprise the opponent in the group stage!

But other than that, the South Korean team seems to have a fresh understanding of the current version, this time mainly reflected in the hero pool in the middle.

Riot's version of the Summer Tournament nerfed the Great Core Mage and enhanced Ludon in order to increase the confrontation of the Mid Lane Mage.

LPL's current mid-lane ecology is a follow-up version, which is basically a confrontation between powerful mages in the early stage such as Enchantress, Sindra, and Zoe, and occasionally a team hero such as Galio, Ryze, and Grasshopper will come out, and the confrontation in the mid lane is quite intense.

But the LCK team took a different path this time and took a new path, and they chose to take out heroes like Knife Girl and Yasuo to play the mid-laner.

I have to say that the effect is also very good,

After the knife girl weakened the passive in this version, it was actually difficult to gain a foothold on the road of the jungle.

But if you put it in the middle lane to play a mage, it's still a dimensionality reduction strike.

As for Yasona, not to mention, it was originally an old midlaner, and the Q skill slashing flash had no consumption and pushed the line quickly, which is also in line with the current version of strong confrontation in the middle lane.

The mid-laner answer given by the LCK division quickly affected the LPL side, and the LPL mid-laner sword demon hasn't yet understood it, and he has to practice Yasuo and Dao Mei, so busy that he is dizzy!

Some mid-laner players adapt quite quickly, such as Doinb and Scout, their hero pool is never a problem, and the talent is enough, each hero plays a dozen or so games, and after getting familiar with the rhythm, they can basically go on the court.

But there are also those who practice slowly.

Rookie and Xiaohu are one of them.

Rookie belongs to the midlaner who is a mage mastery, and it's okay for you to let him play Enchantress Sindra, and it's okay for you to let him play Tsar Clockwork, it's all at your fingertips.

You let him play Yasuo, and he can play with his nose pinched, and even play well. In 2015, it was Rookie's Yasuo EQ flash three, and he dragged IG to the S5 World Finals.

But if you let him play the Sword Demon Sword Girl who doesn't have the soul of the middle laner, it can only be said that it really doesn't work.

And Xiaohu is not to mention.

As we all know, Xiaohu has always been slow to practice heroes, and he is not interested in the warrior's mid-laner, and he is always unsure of the soldier's blood-changing idea.

Now that he is practicing with his sword demon sword sister Yasuo, even if he is dizzy and dizzy, he will never be able to find the trick, and his level is quite average.

At this time, Xiaohu finally felt the gap in talent.

Why do some people never have to worry about hero pools?

"Is this version aimed at me?" Until dinner the day before the game, Li Yuanhao was still complaining, "I can't play these mid-laners at all!" ”

When Doinb on the side heard this, he couldn't help but sneer on the side.

Now you know, right? Who is the strongest midlaner in the history of the QG team!

But fortunately, Li Yuanhao has a father.

In QG's team, there happens to be a sword girl, Yasuo, sword demon, all proficient monsters!

"It's fine." Chen Dongqing didn't care too much about this, "After eating, I'll give you special training." ”

"Special training?" Li Yuanhao took a bite of food, not knowing what this special training meant.

After dinner, because tomorrow's game will start, ensuring a good rest is the first priority, so there is no training match after dinner.

Everyone stood in the QG row, watching Chen Dongqing's special training for Xiaohu.

The content of the special training is also very simple - SOLO.

Both sides keep using the same hero, SOLO, until one hero is almost a little more proficient, and then use the other heroes.

As soon as Xiaohu heard this, he turned his head and wanted to run.

His grandma's, am I M? LET ME TALK TO BROTHER SHU SOLO?

But how could he run away at this time?

Uzi pressed Mount Tai with one hand, pressed Xiaohu back into his position, and said sternly: "No, you have to practice!" You don't want to drag your feet in tomorrow's game, do you? ”

Holding it off?

As soon as Xiaohu heard this, he simply gritted his teeth and touched the mouse and keyboard.

Damn, practice!

SOLO begins.

The first hero to practice is Yasuo.

Chen Dongqing actually doesn't play Yasuo many times, and basically every time he chooses, he uses it to counter Nar.

But in the 2016 quarterfinals, Chen Dongqing used the picture of Yasuo slashing five kills in Chicago, but all the players present remembered it vividly, and no one would doubt his Yasuo level.

And so a feast began.

Chen Dongqing hung the little tiger and beat him, and at the same time opened his mouth to teach.

Chen Dongqing first controlled the line of soldiers to the front of the tower, and when the conqueror state on Xiaohu's body disappeared, and the third wave of soldiers was just on the line, he moved forward with the E skill, and used the third wave of soldiers as a pedal to chase all the way, relying on the combat power advantage brought by the conqueror, and easily completed the first game of single kills.

"No, you're too layman, Yasuo's first wave of strength was after the line was released, relying on a wave of E pursuit by the upline soldiers, you don't even know this?"

Xiaohu didn't say a word and started the second game.

"No, Yasuo can't directly Q people, it will attract the hatred of the soldiers, you have to wear the soldiers Q people, ouch, you Yasuo, I really can't say."

"No, are you really a professional midlaner? Can I still steal Q three times in a row? I'm still full of blood! ”

"No, you can't even predict my obvious EQ flash?"

"It's not."

In Chen Dongqing's complaints, Xiaohu also lost game after game.

The few players in the back saw such a miserable picture, and they couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Although Xiaohu's Yasuo is not strong, it is definitely not a dish. But in front of Chen Dongqing, it is really no different from a toy.

Xiaohu was beaten dizzy at this time, and he didn't know who he was.

Chen Dongqing was very empathetic, let Xiaohu digest it alone for a while, and then continued SOLO.

Next, Xiaohu still lost game by game.

But it can be clearly seen that Xiaohu's Yasuo is gradually getting stronger.

The low-level mistakes of the first few rounds have never been seen again.

I don't know how many rounds I played, Chen Dongqing finally said: "OK, your Yasuo is already okay." ”

When Xiaohu heard this, he finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, he still hasn't won a game yet, is that okay?

"I can't mean anything if I can't win," Chen Dongqing said with a smile: "It's okay to win BDD, and BDD's Yasuo is almost at this level." ”

Xiaohu scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a while.

The rest of the players in the back were also a little speechless for a while.

BDD is also the LCK champion midlaner, how can you be said to be useless?

"Is the training over?" Xiaohu asked.

"Of course not." Chen Dongqing grinned and said, "Yasuo is gone, what about the sword sister and the sword demon?" ”

Xiaohu suddenly fell into an ice cave: "Ah??? ”

"Alright, almost." On the side, Linko couldn't stand it, "Xiaohu has to play tomorrow, don't mess with his mentality, his mentality has collapsed, how can he play BDD tomorrow?" ”

"Let's talk about it." Chen Dongqing shook his head, "The rest of the special training will be talked about later, Xiaohu, Yasuo, there should be no problem in selecting it tomorrow." ”

At this point, today's special training has come to an end for the time being.

Later, JackeyLove looked at the picture in front of him and couldn't help but be afraid.

If you're on the same team as Brother Shu, you won't have to be so SOLO with him every day, right? It's horrible!

"Has he always been like this?" JackeyLove asked Doinb next to him, "Has he been with you SOLO before?" ”

Doinb thinks back to 2016.

At that time, Keree had just come out, and Chen Dongqing at that time just said to him lightly: "Big B, this hero practiced, I think it is very suitable for you." ”

Then, it's gone.

Call me big B, and teach Xiaohu by hand, right?

Thinking of this, Doinb said coldly, "Hehe, never. ”

JackeyLove looked sideways.

Isn't it a good thing that there is no none? What's going on with this inexplicable sourness?

Everyone rested for the night, and the time soon came to July 7th.

The players of the four LPL teams stood in the background together, waiting to play.

Standing backstage, Chen Dongqing could clearly hear the surging cries from the audience not far away!

The Asian competition was launched in the gymnasium of Dalian Sports Center, which can accommodate up to 18,000 people.

"Okay, welcome to the 2018 Asian Confrontation Tournament!" Ren Dong, the host of the LPL Queen's Competition, strode onto the stage and shouted in his deep voice: "This is Dalian, China!" ”

At the scene, nearly 20,000 spectators applauded and cheered, contributing to the opening ceremony of the continental competition!

"In the first continental tournament last year, the LPL had the last laugh and climbed to the top of Asia, and now, as the host and defending champion, we are participating in the second continental tournament!"

"Next, let's have a team on the line!!"

Ren Dong shouted, and he immediately started with the fourth seed and introduced them in turn.

"First of all, the fourth seed from the LCK region, which is the third place in the spring tournament - SKT!"

The SKT team, led by Faker, slowly stepped onto the stage and stood tall on the stage.

It can only be said that this year's SKT is probably really pulling, and the third place is already their worst result in the spring competition in recent years.

Looking at Huni on the road and Blank in the jungler, everyone felt that this team was probably hopeless.

According to the rules of the Spring Tournament, in the group stage, SKT will play against the fourth seed of LMS and LPL in turn to accumulate points for their own division.

Ren Dong quickly continued to shout, inviting SKT's opponents to the stage.

MAD in the LMS Division.

and the third runner-up of the host LPL division - EDG.

Scout, the current EDG core, lifted his glasses and took the stage with his teammates.

At the moment when EDG came on the stage, the cries of the audience suddenly became louder, and many people applauded and celebrated.

Scout's expression was quite serious, and he made up his mind in his heart.

In last year's continental competition, although EDG won the cup with LPL, EDG was not recognized by the audience.

In fact, there is nothing else, mainly because EDG lost in the group stage and the final later.

There is a good saying, it is not terrible to win, but it is embarrassing to be lacking.

I'm thinking that everyone is quite fierce, why did you pull your crotch like this?

With this kind of record, even if EDG didn't go to Kaohsiung last year and let the other three teams play, and there was an automatic admission of defeat and defeat in EDG's game, in fact, LPL could win last year.

Pure is suspected of participating in continental competitions.

This year, Scout is determined to change that!

Immediately afterwards, Ren Dong invited the three champions off the stage, and then invited the third runner-up, runner-up, and champion of the three divisions to the stage!

At this time, you can directly see the top four rankings of the spring competition in the three regions.

The LMS divisions are: FW, FRX, M17, MAD.

LCK is: KZ, KT, AFS, SKT.

At the end, Ren Dongcai finally shouted: "Okay, in the end, let's welcome the spring champion of the LPL division!" QG！！！ ”

The order of appearance this time is arranged in order to save QG for the final finale, and the audience is all waiting for this moment.

Ren Dong stretched the name of QG, which made the audience of nearly 20,000 completely boiling!

Chen Dongqing listened to the cheers, strode into the venue with a smile, and waved to the audience.

You know, Chen Dongqing hasn't played for more than half a month.

Countless audience members widened their eyes, and finally saw their dear Brother Shu from the big screen, and the cheers went to a higher level for a while!

【it!】 Tree! 】

[Sister Wang is back! ] 】

[Brother Shu only plays key games now, right, it's not uncommon to play in the regular season, and he goes directly to the intercontinental competition]

[The main thing is that this B three games are played together, and the iron man can't stand it]

[It will be good after the Asian Games]

On the other side of the venue, Lightning Wolf and KZ watched QG take the stage, and they all had complicated expressions for a while.

They invariably remembered MSI not long ago, QG pushed all the way and won 16 consecutive wins to complete the championship.

It's a painful past.

After all the 12 teams from the three divisions take the stage, this Asian competition will officially begin!

The one in charge of the unveiling performance is, of course, the No. 1 seed of our host.

Chen Dongqing didn't get off the stage at all, he stayed on the stage, looked at the KZ people who also didn't get off the stage opposite, and grinned.

See you again, Dragon Ball.

Ren Dong finally shouted "Let's look forward to who can win the top of Asia", then turned around and walked away.

Chen Dongqing, on the other hand, turned around and sat in his position, quickly logged in to his game server account, opened a custom mode, and checked his peripherals and game settings.

Xiaohu also sat back on the chair at this time, opened the training mode and straightened Yasuo, reviewing the results of last night's special training.

Xiaohu skated twice in the training mode, but he always felt unhappy, he loved SOLO before the game, he hesitated for two seconds, and simply turned his head and said: "Brother Shu, do you want to come to SOLO?" ”

The grinding gun is not fast and light, and they want to put some pressure on themselves before the game.

Everyone in the LPL backstage listened to the team's voice and didn't know how to complain for a while.

Have you been abused out of PTSD? You haven't been abused enough last night, have you?

Chen Dongqing raised his eyebrows and said simply: "Come, fight quickly!" ”

Chen Dongqing quickly launched a simple Yasuo SOLO with Xiaohu.

This time, both of them moved quickly, and as soon as the line came out, they used the [Chopping Steel Flash] to exchange blood for consumption.

But it's a pity, just like before, Xiaohu is fighting, and his blood volume is inexplicably behind.

Then he sent out a "", "Oh, why is your Q so quasi-duck!" Voices like that.

Although the rest of the LPL players in the background can't see the picture, they can know from this voice that Xiaohu is going to lose again.

Sure enough, Chen Dongqing quickly seized a wave of opportunities, Yasuo took the wind, and E skills burst into the face.

Xiaohu didn't dare to eat this EQ, so he could only flash it away, but Chen Dongqing was on the second layer, and there was no direct EQ at all, but an ordinary EA.

Waiting for the little tiger to pull away, he then E small pawn to pick up Q flash, a smooth EQ flash to knock it away, and then take advantage of the situation to connect the ultimate and landing basic attack to complete the single kill.

Xiaohu, who was abused again, was not discouraged this time, but withdrew from the game with a smile.

It has to be said that stress training is indeed effective.

After being abused once, his current state is so good that it is bursting!

At this time, the referee at the back also happened to send the news that the game could start.

In the end, Khan clicked to start the game, and BP officially began! (End of chapter)
