Before the S4 roster was confirmed, Riot introduced a new rule system for the LPL region, forcibly disbanding the ADG team and the LMQ team, and forcibly disbanding the EDE team.

This makes many LPL players worry that Riot will play some tricks when the group stage is drawn, but judging from the draw, Riot is quite fair and just.

The results of this draw are very satisfactory to both players in the LPL region and players in the OGN region.

Players in the LPL region don't need to worry about the five teams in the LPL region fighting each other and falling to the round of 16.

And the players in the OGN division breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Neither the No. 1 nor No. 2 seeds in their region have met EDG.

As for the No. 3 seed NJW, this is originally an experience baby, and it doesn't matter if he is beaten by EDG.

After all, Group C looks like a group of death, but in fact, except for EDG, the other teams are not strong.

"I'm on the expedition, brothers, see you in Korea!"

EDG base, EDG15 sub-divided into two batches and got on the bus for the expedition.

"Say goodbye today, see you in Busan in Japan!!"

"Don't fall behind, whoever falls behind, I will directly jump my face and mock!"

"Hahaha, it's been a year of struggle, if you fall behind at this time, won't this year be wasted?"

EDG15 smiled and waved goodbye, and agreed to assemble in Busan for the top 8 matches!

Top 8, in Busan.

In 2014, the famous Busan tour had not yet been released, and EDG15 had basically never heard of the city of Busan, but this did not affect the yearning of most members of EDG for Busan.

As the champion of the S3 season, the EDG team members who won the championship in America Los Angeles are already people who have seen the world, but this time South Korea is competing in S4, whether it is Sima Lao Thief or Aya Hirano, they are extremely looking forward to it.

Without him, South Korea has a girl group - Girls' Generation.

In the girlhood of 2014, the fire was a mess, even Lu Yiming, who didn't know much about Korean entertainment, had heard of Lin Yuna's name.

"Ma Dan, the identity of rebirth is wrong."

"Rebirth: Resident in Korea"

Lu Yiming secretly said in his heart, when Riot confirmed that the S4 series would be played in South Korea, Sima Lao thief Aya Hirano thought that he would have the opportunity to see the girl group, and he also played the MV dance of the girl group and introduced the members of the girl group to Lu Yiming.

I have to say that these female stars are indeed much higher than the art students he played in his previous life.

This is Lu Yiming's third time abroad, and the last time he went abroad was when he sent the ADG team to Europe to participate in the competition.

The disadvantage of going abroad with public funds is that it is not free enough, but for EDG players, winning the world championship is the top priority, and it is better to let other teams do the matter of purchasing abroad.

After getting off the international plane and stepping on the land of Singapore, listening to the familiar Mandarin in the airport, Lu Yiming and the others couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Did I go abroad??"

Sima Lao Thief sent out a soul question, and Ming Kai had the expression of a person who came over: "Rare and strange, most of this country is Chinese, and it is too normal to speak Mandarin." ”

"Conspicuous bag, new addition."

Aya Hirano began to teach Sima Lao Thief about the history of Singapore, while Lu Yiming sat in the back of the bus, opened his laptop, and analyzed the data of the new version of the hero.

Before the S4 finals, Riot carried out an update, this time the update content Lu Yiming, Ming Kai and other EDG team members, plus EDG analysts analyzed and experimented with the new version.

In the new version after the update, the damage of regular AP heroes in the S4 season such as Clockwork and Sindra in the early and middle stages can no longer bear to look at it directly, and the damage of the little fishman, wine barrel, and Enchantress in the early stage can still be seen, but compared with the S3 season, it is not a grade at all.

When Balancing the game, the designers of League of Legends are very simple and crude to increase the stats, or cut the stats.

Their behavior is to add more water to the noodles, and add more water to the noodles, the work of this group of League of Legends designers, Lu Yiming thinks he can do it.

"At present, the traditional mages in the middle laner are all G, and the only one who can still show a little bit is Ruiz."

"Warrior version?"

After the version update, Lu Yiming and EDG's analysts conducted a comprehensive analysis and test, and preliminarily concluded that the S4 season is a warrior version.

But this is only the initial speculation of EDG, they still have a lot of heroes that have not been tested, and they are not sure if they have actually made it to the warrior version.

"No, it hasn't been directly entered into the warrior version yet, and the mid laner now has a strong auxiliary Lulu, Rambo and Old Man Time."

"But Jace, Ruiwen, and Panson, these heroes are much more fierce in the middle than before."

"If you deduct these regular mid-laner heroes, then the blind monk, crocodile, captain, and even Zhao Xin can all take the middle lane."

"Except for these heroes."

Lu Yiming flipped through the LOL page and saw a hero who was hardly used.

Frost Witch – Lisandro!

Lisandro appeared on April 30, 2013, and this hero can't be taken at all in the Assassin mid-laner version of the S3 season, and even if there is an ultimate, it will be taken away by the Assassin mid-laner set.

Prior to the Grand Final version, Lisandro's damage was not as good as that of traditional mages, and it was difficult to compare damage to heroes such as Clockwork and Syndra.

But now, with Clockwork, Sindra and other heroes being chopped, Lisandro's damage has counterattacked Clockwork, Sindra and other heroes.

"Lisandro's damage was more average before, but now that Clockwork, Sindra, Ruiz and other hero damage have been cut, Lisandro's damage is enough."

"The current version of Riot does not strengthen the Warrior Hero head-on, but rather by weakening the Upper Tank and the Medium Lane Traditional Mage, resulting in the Warrior Hero seems to have risen."

"In fact, Riot is in the version update, and the only fighters strengthened are the blind monk, Nar."

"If you count the assassins, there's a poodle!"

"Therefore, in the S4 season, there is a high probability that the warrior mid-laner is a trap."

Lu Yiming made a note of today's discovery, and since Riot made a version update, Lu Yiming, Ming Kai and EDG analysts have analyzed Riot's change.

But the time is too short, there are too many things in EDG, and there are many heroes in League of Legends, so the version analysis work is very slow.

The analysis of the version is a very large workload, and many teams have fallen into the deep pit of the version trap in the World Finals in the previous life.

Even some of the teams that participated in the finals were eliminated, and it is not clear what the version of the finals is.

For example, the most typical S8 season.

IG top laner Theshy also used tank type top laner in the top 8 of the group stage, and it wasn't until the top 4 that he realized which heroes should be prioritized in the S8 finals.

The EDG team currently believes that the S4 Finals is a warrior version, with midlaners such as Jace, Yasuo, Pan Sen, and Rui Wen having a higher priority.

And heroes such as Crocodile, Rambo, Olaf, and Poodle on the road have a higher priority.

Whether the specific S4 finals is a single version, Lu Yiming can't be sure, since he was reborn, the timeline has been completely confused, and he doesn't know how Riot will be updated in the future.

"The group stage has not yet started, so you can slowly ponder the version issue, and you are not too anxious."

After Lu Yiming finalized the hero Lisandro, he did not immediately verify it, but continued to check LOL's hero interface to find a hero that was more suitable for the version.

The bus stopped at the International Exhibition Center.

Singapore International Exhibition Center, known as the largest exhibition hall in Asia, EDG all members got off the car and looked at the tall international exhibition center in front of them, nodding incessantly.

Not to mention anything else, the venue for the competition is really tall.

The S3 season was on the Lakers' home court, and this time the group stage was selected at the largest exhibition hall in Asia.

"Welcome to the EDG team, please come with me!"

"Welcome to the ADG team, please come with me!"

There are fist staff at the entrance of the International Exhibition Center to receive, the EDG team and the ADG team are separated into the International Exhibition Center Hotel, after everything is arranged, all the ADG staff, Sima Lao Thief and others, are full of interest want to visit Singapore.

"Brother Lu, do you want to go shopping together, you didn't go shopping when we first arrived in America last year, don't you go shopping this year?"

Sima Lao Thief launched an invitation to Lu Yiming, and Lu Yiming stayed in the hotel alone last year to analyze the teams participating in the competition and the professional players who needed attention.

Brother Lu won't stay in the hotel this year.

Last year EDG was a brand new team, so there's nothing wrong with being careful, and this year, they're the strongest team in the world!

Ahead of the group stage draw, Riot has announced the S4 World Team Rankings and rankings for each position.

Team EDG is still number one in the official rankings, while Team EDE is in second place.

This year's EDG team is qualified to be a little arrogant.

"Go ahead, I'll stay and test the hero."

Lu Yiming waved his hand, he had no interest in going out shopping.

Great men once said that strategically despise the enemy and tactically value the enemy.

In the short video of EDG's expedition, the EDG crowd is very arrogant and completely disdainful of all the teams in the OGN division.

But if you really have this mentality, the EDG team is likely to overturn.

Samsung White in the S4 season is considered by countless LPL viewers to be one of the strongest teams in the past.

Other members of EDG can go out to play, but as the leader of EDG, the captain of EDG, and the core of EDG's three teams, Lu Yiming is not allowed to go out shopping.

EDG Fifteen has only one chance this year, and he can't let EDG Fifteen become a joke.

Lu Yiming refused to go out to hang out, Ming Kai took the initiative to stay with him, Ming Kai is a professional player with a good professional attitude, he is now 21 years old, and he is at the peak of e-sports.

Age is the biggest weakness of e-sports professional players, and in his previous life, Ming Kai only had more than a year left at his peak.

By the S6 season, Ming Kai estimates that there is a high probability that he will pull his crotch and incarnate as a ghost foot seven.

"Little Brother Yiming, you are working too hard!"

"Just arrived in Singapore, why don't you take a break and take a break?"

Ming Kai saw Lu Yiming, who was sitting in front of the computer to check the hero's data, took out a bottle of Pepsi and handed it to Lu Yiming, Lu Yiming waved his hand to indicate that he did not drink Coke.

"Bring me a bottle of Oriental Leaves."

"I've been getting a little too much sugar lately, and I'm going to quit sugar for a year."

Lu Yiming, who likes to drink Coke, refused Coke this time, his current body is not as good as before, when he was just reborn, he could stay up all night with Bai Yejin without sleeping, and he was a real seven-time man.

Now Lu Yiming feels that he is a little empty, and he can only be promoted in one night.

Lu Yiming felt that this was the reason why he drank too much Coke, and he really had a bottle of Coke every three days too often.

"Hey, the Oriental leaves are so unpalatable, you can drink them??"

Ming Kai put the Coke back and took a bottle of Oriental Leaves for Lu Yiming, Lu Yiming opened it and took a sip, pointed to the computer screen and said: "Ming Kai, use the blind monk Zhonglan and me SOLO, I will test the strength of the hero Lisandro." ”

"Lisandro? Are you sure you hit with Lisandro and the Blind Monk? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I feel that the so-called warrior version may be a trap."

Lu Yiming and Ming Kai opened a custom room, and Lu Yiming chose Lisandro and Ming Kai's blind monk in a one-on-one line.

Judging from the numerical value of the hero alone, it is not possible to analyze which of these two heroes is stronger, Lu Yiming needs to conduct multiple tests such as line tests and actual combat tests to understand the strength of this hero.

Lisandro is a typical pioneer in the group, wandering mid-laner, when he and Ming Kai mid-single, he found that Lisandro was pushing the line, which was faster than the strengthened blind monk.

The S4 season of Lisandro is still the oldest version of Lisandro.

Lisandro's passive [Ice Blood] is every 18 seconds, and the next skill does not consume blue.

Each time Lisandro slows/imprisons an enemy hero, her passive cooldown is reduced by 1 second.

In addition to passive, the skills of the old version of Lisandro and the new version of Lisandro are exactly the same, and the hero of Lisandro is more Fei Lan in the early stage, and the passive existence can make Lisandro more comfortable when he consumes the line in the early stage.

"The fist strengthens the damage of the blind monk's Q skill, but does not strengthen the damage of the blind monk's E skill, which makes the blind monk unable to push Lisandro on the push line."

"Lisandro, the hero, can push the line at a faster speed, but the heroes such as Clockwork, Sindra, and Ruiz pushed the line faster, which caused Lisandro to be a little chicken."

"Pushing the line can't push traditional mage heroes, and the damage burst is not as much as traditional mage heroes."

"After the traditional mage heroes are weakened, the only one who can compete with Lisandro in the push lane is Rambo."

After a short period of testing, Lu Yiming had a general understanding of the hero priority of Lisandro, and he asked Ming Kai to quit the game and change to a Rambo for testing.

"The push line really can't push the strengthened Rambo!"

"Try Old Man Time and Lulu!"

Rambo has been strengthened by Fist once in the latest version of Q damage, and in the push line, Lisandro, the hero, really can't push Rambo!

Lu Yiming pulled Ming Kai to continue the test, and during the test, Lu Yiming found that Lulu couldn't push the line at all.

The old man of time can compete with Lisandro in the early stage, and as Lisandro's method becomes stronger, the speed of the old man of time pushing the line is not as fast as Lisandro's.

"The hero of the old man of time is also a threat to Lisandro, although the speed of pushing the line in the middle and late stages is not as good as Lisandro, but relying on his own E skill acceleration, he can support himself quickly.

Coupled with the existence of the ultimate, when using the hero Lisandro, it is better to ban the old man of time! ”

"Lisan is not very good at playing blind monks on the line, but the speed of pushing the line and walking far exceed that of blind monks.

Test the other heroes and test Lisandro's strength. ”
