509 Train to Busan
At the end of the theme song, Chen Dongqing specially stretched out his hand and clicked on the barrage.
Countless barrages rushed by!
γit!γ This is the Great Demon King? γ
[I said why didn't the members of the champion QG show their faces, so they were waiting at the end]
[The boss at the end of the level, right? ] It's full! γ
[Fist: Daddy, are you satisfied with this MV? γ
[The head of Ren'an walked to the top of the mountain after many difficulties and dangers, but was beaten out three times, right? ] Chen Dongqing, you have done all the bad things! γ
[Hahaha, it's really okay, the final was 3-0 and directly abused]
Chen Dongqing actually didn't play long in the MV, at most only a quarter of the time.
But the last spear throw, a flying kick, and the last sword qi still left the deepest impression on all the audience.
As the boss at the end of the level, he is not inked, he is ruthless, and he will sweep the opponent when he comes up and complete the defense of the title.
The fist is really in tune with Chen Dongqing.
Chen Dongqing nodded with satisfaction, he shared the video with Lin Qianhua, and then asked: [How to evaluate? γ
This news is destined to not be reciprocated in a short time, because Chen Dongqing knows that Lin Qianhua is also on the plane to South Korea at this time, and has already taken off early.
Chen Dongqing didn't plan to wait for a reply, he turned off the screen of his phone, took out the pad in his backpack, and started playing Deadpool 2, which was just played last night.
The trip to Korea wasn't too far, just in time for a movie.
In the final easter egg of the movie, Deadpool traveled to the real world and killed Ryan Reynolds, who took over the script of "Green Lantern", with one shot, playing a wave of Green Lantern memes.
At this time, the plane also happened to slow down and stop on the runway of Incheon International Airport.
Instead of going directly to Busan, where the group stage was held, everyone came to Seoul first and checked in at the hotel.
They had to train in Seoul and wait for the play-in tournament to finish before heading to Busan with the advancing team.
As for why the airport is called Incheon International Airport, it can only be said that South Korea is such a big place, Incheon and Seoul are very close to each other, and it is normal to share an airport.
Sitting on the bus to the hotel, Chen Dongqing took out his mobile phone again.
Lin Qianhua had already checked in at the hotel with the army an hour ago, and the news also came back to Chen Dongqing.
[Really handsome! Lin Qihua commented on this MV with a smile, and then said: [The fist has really licked you recently. γ
Chen Dongqing grinned and typed: [They should indeed lick it, without me, LOL's popularity is far worse than it is estimated now. γ
Lin Qianhua expressed his disbelief at the first time, but he still said perfunctorily: [You are the most critical. γ
Chen Dongqing knew that his girlfriend didn't believe it, but he didn't explain much.
What is the scene of LOL without him, of course Chen Dongqing has seen it.
In the previous life, LOL was far less popular than it is now.
At least at home.
The Bird's Nest won the championship + three gold medals in the Asian Games, Chen Dongqing relied on himself to report the game of League of Legends by CCTV, so that the concept of "e-sports" really entered tens of millions of homes!
The girlfriend then sent another long picture and said with a smile: "Look, the fist licks you again." β
Chen Dongqing clicked on the picture and saw the title in the picture.
2018 World Finals TOP20.
"Eh, brothers." Chen Dongqing shouted sideways: "TOP20 is out." β
TOP20 is a part of the World Championship every year, and you only need to rank the top 20 players and give an evaluation, which can cause a lot of discussion and make the World Championship more popular.
In the past, this thing was called the Poisoned Milk List, but now this nickname has been taken off by Chen Dongqing.
"What?" Xiaohu immediately came over, "Look at my first!" β
The other four of QG have all experienced the S7 World Championship and have all entered the TOP20, this thing is not new to them, only Xiaohu is quite looking forward to it.
Holding QG's thighs, he can't be in the first twenty, right?
"No, the 20th" Chen Dongqing clicked on the picture posted by the owner of the building, and saw Xiaohu's figure at the beginning of the first long picture.
TOP20οΌQG.Xiaohuγ
[From last year's relegation team to today's QG, xiaohu has undergone a metamorphosis from beginning to end. Many people may say that Xiaohu's strength still needs to be proven, but I would say that the honor he won this year is the best proof. γ
"It's okay, Li Yuanhao." Chen Dongqing smiled: "It's on the list." β
Xiaohu carefully looked at the evaluation of himself, and his face was expressionless: "It's only the 20th?" It's low. β
Chen Dongqing patted Xiaohu's shoulder: "It's good to be able to enter."
As can be seen from this ranking and comments, Riot should not want to put Xiaohu in it.
After all, Xiaohu's personal data is really not good-looking, and in QG, which has a very high win rate, his personal data is not even as good as Rookie and Doinb.
But considering QG's record this year, Riot still barely put him at the bottom of the list.
"What, TOP20?" The incense pot stepped forward, "Look at how many of us are in line!" Li Yuanhao is all in, then we must all be in! β
Xiaohu glanced at the incense pot and did not speak.
Chen Dongqing continued to slide down the long picture, and soon turned to Shi Senming, who ranked 14th, and Xiangguo, which ranked 7th.
The ranking of TOP20 can basically be divided into a bracket for every five places.
20-16 in one gear, 15-11 in one gear
Xiaohu Xiaoming incense pot is basically one person and one file, which is in line with their status in QG.
When you are the fifth in QG, it is 16-20, and when you are the fourth, it is 11-15
As for being the eldest brother and second brother in QG.
That's of course the level of the first gear!
Chen Dongqing continued to slide down, until he slid to Rookie in TOP3, but he didn't see the QG double father.
Obviously, this year's QG double dad is going to take the top two again, just like last year.
TOP2οΌzi
[The undisputed first AD in history, after experiencing the baptism of the incense burner version last year, his strength has gone further and has come to another peak of his career! ] It's hard to believe that he's a six-year-old veteran. γ
"It seems that Chen Dongqing is the first again." Xiangguo couldn't help but hug his chest and said: "TOP1 for three consecutive years, this is too exaggerated." β
Uzi was sullen and didn't want to speak.
He also felt that it was indeed too exaggerated.
"What's the exaggeration?" Xiaohu immediately glared at the side and said: "Now it's the version on the road, TOP1 won't give it to Brother Shu, will it be given to you?" What's your name as a seventh? β
Xiangguo's eyes widened when he heard this.
Xiaohu suddenly felt happy.
Refreshing!
Let you just yin and yang me!
Chen Dongqing ignored the daily bickering of the tiger pot and pulled the long picture to the end.
TOP1οΌx
[For Ilex, it is difficult to describe his greatness in words, his comprehensiveness is not only in the upper unit, and even not only in the game of League of Legends. Without a doubt, he's the best esports player on the planet! γ
[Like his teammates in the lower lane, the strength of Ilex has evolved again after the second consecutive championship, and it has reached a new peak of strength - believe me, this is a height that no one has ever reached in history, just like his honor.] γ
"Awesome!" Xiangguo looked at the comments, and almost applauded, "This fist has really gone crazy recently, such a big company, it's shameless, right?" β
Linko also said happily and harmoniously on the side: "As long as you can make more money, what is the face, and besides, it's not a shame to lick Chen Dongqing." β
Chen Dongqing was a little amused by this evaluation, and sent Lin Qianhua a Tom cat belly laughing emoji.
The bus slowly stopped at the door of the hotel, and as soon as everyone got off the bus, they saw the old man Vincent.
Linko and Vincent went to the hotel front desk to check in, and when they came back, they handed out room cards to the team members, and said: "After putting the luggage in the hotel, we will gather in conference room 707, let's have a new version of the meeting first, and then go to eat after the meeting." β
Every time they compete, they have a meeting when they land, which is their QG tradition.
Everyone moved quickly, and after checking in to the room on the seventh floor, they quickly walked to the training room converted from a conference room.
Banbazi didn't rush to the room, but came here first, connected his phone to the computer, and uploaded the PPT file in his phone.
"This World Edition is set at version 8.19." Banbazi said: "It's been three years since our playoff version, and there are a lot of changes in total, so you all pay attention." β
"First of all, the most important thing is the change on the road. Akali, Sword Girl, and Sword Demon, the three heroes who shined in the Summer Tournament, were all weakened to varying degrees. β
Banbazi said, commenting on the changes: "These changes are very critical and very deadly. β
The version was changed, Chen Dongqing had already seen it a few days ago, and when he heard Banbazi's words, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The alterations to these three heroes are indeed deadly.
Knife Girl's ultimate can no longer apply the disarming effect, but the slow effect is increased.
This knife is a little painful, but it mainly cuts the team battle, and it has little impact on the line and the single belt in the later stage, and it has an impact on the knife girl who rarely fights in the group, but it is acceptable.
Akali Q no longer recovers HP at high energy, W is no longer invisible to towers, and CD is increased by 2 seconds at full level.
To compensate, Akali's health regeneration per five seconds has been increased from 3.5 to 8.
This knife is a little painful.
The recovery of Q's skill and W's stealth against the tower are basically the core mechanics of this version of Akali's lane, and as a result, they were all cut down with one sword!
Q's reply is okay to say that it is compensated back here in the health regeneration, but W's invisibility against the tower, the designer instead of compensating, increased the CD by two seconds.
This change doesn't really make sense.
Chen Dongqing clearly remembered that Akali W's knife was only cut in S9.
As a result, because of his appearance, this change was advanced by half a year
It's a bit abstract.
After the rework of Akali, Chen Dongqing has played a total of two Akali, one is the Asian Games final, and the other is the playoffs six into four.
But the key thing is that in the finals of the Asian Games, Chen Dongqing integrated the card defense tower general attack skills into Akali's W, achieving the effect of playing the defense tower and completing the blood exchange under the non-injury tower.
This operation has made this mechanism of Akali W complete a qualitative change!
Perhaps it was this wave of manipulation that made the designers realize their stupidity, so they quickly cut the mechanic.
Chen Dongqing expressed deep remorse for this.
Next, the sword demon was cut the lightest, the ultimate CD was cut a little, and E was weakened a little bit by sucking blood from the creeps, and it didn't hurt or itch.
"Of the three changes, the changes to Knife Girl and Akali are a bit too heavy, so it's hard for us to assess whether these changes will affect their appearance in Worlds."
Banbazi thought for a moment and asked, "Chen Dongqing, what do you think?" β
Chen Dongqing opened his mouth and said: "It doesn't have much impact, but you can still play." β
These three heroes, all the way to S12, are regulars in the game.
Where is it now?
"That'll do." Banbazi nodded, "Anyway, let's practice first, as for the specific situation, let's wait for the play-in tournament and training match and then slowly observe." β
The PPT continues to scroll down.
Kai'Sa has been nerfed, and the passive slash damage has been changed from 15%-20% of the lost health (with the level) to a fixed 15%, reducing Kaisha's output in the later stages.
Verus, Bron, and Tamu all slashed their health and growth health.
These heroes can be said to be a system, and the designer's knife is cut down on the brain of the special effects flow AD.
In addition, the endless price is reduced by 200, the true damage conversion attribute is reduced to 10%, and the price of a series of equipment such as the artillery electric knife hurricane green fork is also reduced by 100,.
After this series of changes, the designer's intention is already obvious, which is to let countless players get out of the special effects flow and return to the arms of the traditional crit stream.
Compared to the special effects stream with fast forming speed, the crit stream with combat effectiveness in a three-piece set is definitely slower-paced.
As soon as this change came out, the lower lane had less impact on the rhythm.
This has nothing to do with Chen Dongqing, this is something that Uzi and Shi Senming need to have a headache for.
But the problem is obviously not big, the two have gone all the way from S7, from soft to hard support, from crit to special effects, and then to the current version of crit, they can all adapt.
The PPT has turned to the bottom page, and Banbazi also took the opportunity to summarize: "For this version of this world competition, what we can be sure of is that Kaminakano will still be the core of the game. Our overall style of play, focus, does not need to change, how to play or how to play, only the priority of hero selection has changed. β
After all, the World Championship is approaching, and the designers obviously don't dare to overhaul the version, so as not to have a tragedy like the S5S7.
Since Kaminakano is still the core, then their QG is still the strongest team.
At the end of the short version of the meeting, Banbazi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's almost time, let's go have a meal first, and come back to play the training match after eating!" The play-in tournament is almost underway, and we don't have a few days to prepare! β
In the blink of an eye, the time came to October 1st.
Because of the Asian Games, this year's World Championships came later than in the past, and in previous years, the group stage was played at this point in time, but this year's play-in tournament has just begun.
At the time of Shenzhou Putian's National Day, in Seoul, South Korea, the S8 Global Finals was finally launched.
The first thing to do, of course, is the competition for the play-in round.
The bottom seeds from the tournament and the wild card region battled it out for a spot in the group stage.
After a seven-day battle, the four promotion places were finally determined.
As expected, it was the teams from the four major regions that made the cut.
After a wave of lottery draws, the four teams were divided into four groups.
The group stage matchups are finally confirmed!
Group A: FNC IG MAD (Bend 2) C9 (U.S. 3)
Group B: QG SKT VIT (Euro 2) GRX (Bend 3)
Group C: KT PVB 100T (US 2) G2 (Euro 3)
Group D: FW FPX TL SSG
The World Championship team also quickly changed positions and traveled from Seoul to Busan.
A trip to Busan, the S race finally came to the main play!
The group stage will not be too long, only focus on one (end of this chapter)
