Chapter 409: World Championship Preview
EDG Club.
After winning the summer championship, the club also gave the players a seven-day long vacation.
The Korean aides in the team did not take this opportunity to return to their homes in the Cold Netherworld, but all stayed in the EDG club.
In fact, the reason is very simple.
The S8 World Championship will be held in the Great Cold Netherworld.
Anyway, EDG has already made it to the Worlds.
There is no need to go back to China to see your family in a panic in the past few days, everyone is an adult, and career is the priority.
Scout, in particular, played a total of two games in the regular season in the summer.
It can be said that the iron of the cold bench sitting.
The reason why he played two games is mainly because according to the rules of the league, if he does not play in the regular season, he will not be able to play in the playoffs.
In the playoff version, EDG's starting mid-laner Hae Sung-min's warriors, AD, and functional mid-laner mages are actually no longer popular in the version.
The Great Core Mage, the traditional mage, is back strongly.
Therefore, with EDG winning far ahead and guaranteeing one less round of BO5, it is understandable that Scout will secure a bench spot in the last few games of the playoffs.
Of course, a seven-day vacation is actually quite a long time.
After all, according to the legal holiday, these seven days may be pieced together from the weekend or the day of the next month.
again
Due to the large number of tour groups in Qi Province, many college students are able to turn into special forces on weekends and travel back and forth between Qi Province and the Great Cold Netherworld.
If Scout is homesick, he has more time to go back and check it out.
If he doesn't go back, it means that his heart is definitely looking forward to the World Championship!
Similarly, even if Hae Sung-min is on vacation at the end of this year's spring game, he has not returned to the cold country for more than half a year due to the relatively short vacation due to going to Europe to play MSI.
This time for the seven-day long vacation, he originally booked a plane ticket.
But after learning that Scout chose to stay at the base, Hae Sung-min also carried out a refund operation.
Although he said that he was cheated a lot of money by the airline's evil refund rules, he was not distressed.
In contrast, Hai Chengmin also understands the importance of the World Championship better!
"It's set!"
"It's set, it's set!"
Early this morning, Hai Chengmin trotted down from the second floor with his mobile phone and shouted excitedly at everyone.
"Settled?"
Looking at Hai Chengmin, who had a toothbrush stuffed in his mouth and white foam in his mouth, Jiang Zhun couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's decided?" β
"The Worlds version is set!"
Hae Sung-min was very excited.
But
Due to the difference in air pressure when he spoke, all the foam that had been at the corners of his mouth was sucked into his mouth
Vomit β
Ahem!
Hai Chengmin hurriedly leaned down and coughed, and everyone in the training room couldn't help but laugh when they saw him in the same posture as a baboon.
Fortunately.
There is no shortage of water dispensers in the training room.
Zhao Lijie, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly took a disposable paper cup, filled it with water and handed it to Hai Chengmin.
After a bit of scrambling, he finally relented.
And the factory director also took advantage of the situation and asked with a smile:
"How do you know the Worlds version is set?"
"The training team hasn't gotten any news yet!"
"Here, here!" Hai Chengmin hurriedly picked up his mobile phone, and then pointed the screen at the factory director.
The factory director glanced at it, and it was the interface of the little blue bird.
Although he is using this software, the purpose of using it is not the same as that of Hai Chengmin.
Thinking of the people of Haicheng's civil and cold underworld, he didn't wonder why the other party would read the news about the League of Legends event on it.
After his eyes were focused, the factory director read the tweet clearly:
ββββββββββββββ
CineοΌβIs 8.17 the World PatchοΌ β
Richard HenkelοΌβnaddaοΌ8.19β
ββββββββββββββ
"Uh, is it 8.17 or 8.19?" The factory director touched the small fly at the corner of his mouth, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
Scout, who was sitting on the side, also hurriedly probed over to join in the fun.
"Chengmin, do you think that English will be automatically translated into Chinese, or can the translated Korean be understood by the coach?"
"Huh?" Hai Chengmin was stunned for two seconds, then realized something, and hurriedly explained to the factory director:
"It's just that there is an anchor in Europe and the United States, who should be the anchor, right?"
"I asked the staff of Riot if the World version was 8.17, and the staff of Riot said it was 8.19."
"In the past, the news about the event was all released by this guy called Richard Henkel, which should be accurate."
Hae Sung-min quickly explained.
And the factory director also nodded and said: "I guess it should also be the 8.19 version, the two playoff versions of 8.15 and 8.16 are definitely changing trends, so the world version will definitely not be finalized in the 8.17 version, at least the 8.18 version will be used." β
"But what I didn't expect was that this time version 8.18 was only a balance adjustment, and Riot would choose version 8.19 as the world version."
"I still know a little bit of English."
"Version 8.17 was followed by a World, and I knew that the word meant World, so I asked if Version 8.17 was the Worlds version."
The director explained Riot's intentions for the recent changes, and explained why he said that version 8.17 was the Worlds version.
"That's right."
"Let's take a break first, I won't exercise early this morning, and after breakfast, we will go to the conference room to discuss the version, the 8.17 version we have been studying for a long time, and the 8.18 version has also been online in Hanbok for two weeks, and it is estimated that the 8.19 version should be launched in two days."
"Wait, we're mainly talking about our own opinions, and guessing what the 8.19 version will do to the 8 and 18 versions."
The playoff version is in fact a preview of the Worlds version.
Of course, the Worlds version will definitely have a relatively large change compared to the playoff version, and there will even be a complete contrast in a certain lane.
For example, in the playoff version, the bottom lane is mainly played in the late core, but in the Worlds version, Riot designers are likely to directly change the bottom lane to the line version.
As a result, the way teams play in the playoffs, as well as their tactics, as well as the players' alignment strategies, will change dramatically.
In fact, a release can be thought of as a test volume.
And the players and coaches of the team are the ones who do this test paper.
Their hero pool version understanding and the way they play in the game determine how many points they can score on this test paper.
Of course, the same method can be used for the comprehension of the version as in the usual exam, which is memorized through a large number of questions.
That is, in advance through various means, looking for the version of the answer, summing up what you think is the most correct formula, and then practicing it in the competition.
That's what the coaching staff and the training team are all about.
The times create heroes, and those who conform to the version are kings.
If you want to win the championship, the strength of the team players on paper is indispensable, but the best way to compete for the championship is to also find the answer to the version, adapt to the version, or find the best solution that your team is compatible with the version.
That's why Riot hasn't released a Worlds version during this time, but teams from all regions have already started sprinting for the S-S tournament.
"Spicy fragrant pot, can you say less in the post-game interview in the future, let's just say these words."
"This seems to be a very low level of education."
The sister is looking at her phone.
When he was scrolling through station b, he browsed the host's interview with the edg players after the LPL Summer Finals.
"At that time, the sound at the scene was so loud, how could I still have the heart to think slowly about how to speak?"
"Well, really."
"I was going to die if I broke e-sports, I could read, I went to study early, and I insisted on doing these interviews."
"It's really annoying."
The spicy incense pot couldn't help but shake his head, he had a feeling that his head was as big as Yu Wenbo.
"We're esports players, not gaming."
"I saw faker in the post bar a few days ago when he was out and about, he would hold a book in his hand."
"While people have such good grades, they are also keen to study, you have to look up to him."
The sister looked at the spicy incense pot and kept shaking her head, disconnected the Bluetooth headset, and deliberately released the words of the spicy incense pot when she was interviewed:
"Let's play like this in the World Championships."
"I feel like we're strong enough to compete for the title."
"Well, that's all I have to say."
Spicy fragrant pot, after hearing his interview, he couldn't help but turn his face like a red-skinned duck.
He hurriedly opened the topic: "The only League of Legends profession I know is Sima Lao Thief, he likes to read books, as if he likes to read what three-body science fiction?" β
"I really haven't seen anyone else who likes to read."
"And Sima Lao Thief will only read books when he has nothing to do, and then he doesn't want to look at his phone."
"How can there be a person like faker who holds a book as soon as he goes out, this is definitely setting up a person, if he really looks at me and his surname."
"Maybe people are really reading." Jiejie couldn't help but joke: "After all, this season's SKT collapsed so badly that he didn't even enter the World Championship." β
"Maybe it's because faker reads books too hard, so the team's training rhythm can't keep up."
"You're embarrassed." Jiang Zhun smiled: "I've been paying attention to LCK. β
"The main thing about SKT is that Ueno can't."
"The top laner of their team is very abstract when he plays the continental tournament with us, I believe everyone also has experience, really, let my sister buckle up and line up with him, I feel that he can't beat."
"As for Blackie. Not as good as small peanuts. β
"Although the strength of the bottom lane duo has declined, the state is still there, and there is no problem with each game."
"That's right." Spicy Xiangguo continued: "However, SKT did not enter the World Championship this year, so I feel extra relieved. β
"Every time I see the name of this team, I panic a little."
Mala Xiangguo couldn't help but shake his head, "This year, KT can only play in the LCK division, and several other teams are not very good, I feel that the hope of winning the championship in our division is still quite big." β
"What's big, it's our championship in the division!"
"Because this year's champion will still be our EDG!"
β¦β¦
βEDGοΌ Off-site G! β
"They won the championship last year because they played in China and played in the World Championship in South Korea this year, and I don't believe they can still win the championship."
At the same time, Yan Junze of the RNG club shouted with some indignation:
"The changes in version 8.18 are great for our team!"
"For example, the amount of healing obtained when Sword Demon E skill attacks non-hero units decreases, and then the number of charges of E skill decreases, and the ultimate cooldown of R skill increases at low level."
"In this way, the early stage of the hero of the Sword Demon is abolished."
"And the E skill charge has decreased, which means that his ability to cooperate with the jungler to do the guest has become weaker."
"Then there is the enhancement of the old driver, the enhancement of the knife girl, and the enhancement of the no-hand."
"These heroes don't mean that Jiang Zhun doesn't play well, it's just that they don't belong to the ranks of his unique skills compared to his unique skills."
The RNG Club has also been informed that the Worlds version is 8.19 and is currently discussing possible changes.
"Alas, the world race must be unanimous to the outside world! Before the fight starts, you EDG wants to be G in another place. Looking at Yan Junze's face, he couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you so ruthless?" β
"Can you not hate!"
"It's summer again, losing to them in the final."
"It's been two years in a row, why is it so hard to win a season?"
Yan Junze was a little irritable and said: "If EDG can fight with him in the foreign war this year so fiercely, I will be willing to meet them in the finals!" β
"Finals against EDG?"
"Haha!"
"The World Championship play-in tournament hasn't even started yet, and you're already thinking about making it to the finals."
Kasa turned off his two-dimensional mobile game and teased Yan Junze in very locomotive words.
"Alas, alas!"
"You guys."
"I know that the Worlds have to be unanimous."
"Didn't the alliance have a training group?"
"When is the training camp?"
After Yan Junze vented the dissatisfaction in his heart, he became calm.
"Version 8.19 is updated on September 26th, and our side is estimated to be about 10 days slower than him."
"So according to the official schedule, I should go to the Great Cold Underworld for training at the end of September."
"It's okay for us to play in the group stage, and we can have more than 20 days to prepare."
"It's a bit difficult for IG to play the play-in tournament, and 10.1 will start!"
Gesture looked at the phone and explained like a Bai Xiaosheng.
βIGοΌβ
"This team doesn't need to bother."
"Anyway, when everyone is not familiar with the version, it is estimated that it will still be played according to the 8.16 and 8.17 versions."
"They're just fighting, like crazy people."
"You won't suffer if you meet a weak team."
"It's not like I haven't played in the play-in round."
Yan Junze shook his head.
There are two top laners he "hates" the most now, and the surnames of these two top laners are Jiang.
And the style of play is also relatively similar.
In the league throughout this year, he was repeatedly abused by this big ginger and little ginger countless times.
Therefore, after hearing the names of the two of them, they were particularly disgusted.
Of course, it's just because he can't beat it.
On the other hand, Coach Heart is busy.
Because with the finalization of the version, the major teams will also start training matches.
