Li Luo's Yasuo was not leaking, but Abu didn't know that although Li Luo had used Yasuo during live broadcasts before, he had also used Yasuo once in an All-Star event.
But these "brilliant achievements" have little reference value for Abramovich.
Li Luo's ability to score points smoothly during rankings relies on more than just his own skill level.
Also has his powerful command ability.
In fact, many professional players who also have the ability to command cannot use their advantages in rank. After all, everyone is playing in the Korean server. It is very difficult to command teammates when there is a language barrier. , even the most basic communication may not be possible.
In terms of English, everyone only knows the simplest communication methods, such as gap and noob.
Using these to communicate can be counterproductive.
Li Luo was different. In addition to his hand speed that was so fast that he could type and communicate in addition to operating, Li Luo could also communicate with his teammates in the most concise way possible. Anyone who wasn't a fool would probably understand.
In addition to Li Luo, there is another player who can do similar things to him, but the two are fundamentally different. Li Luo communicates and interacts, while the other player records the time of each hero on the opposite side, and his hand speed is also explosive.
Therefore, Li Luo's ranking up is just like drinking water, and he doesn't play Yasuo much. In addition, in the All-Star Game, he played Yasuo in a wild card region like Brazil. Unless Li Luo can He performed relatively well in training matches, otherwise Abramovich would not be able to formulate tactics around an orphan hero like Yasuo.
…
The lpl summer split is proceeding in an orderly manner.
edg's defeat in the German Cup did not affect their invincibility in the first half of the summer split.
As envied by most teams.
Li Luo's team often has a relatively unique understanding of the arrival of a new version.
When the two heroes Lucian and Crocodile became edg's mainstream hero choices at the beginning of the summer split, edg's opponents were miserable.
The ability of edg to adapt to the version so quickly is inseparable from the existence of Li Luo, who hangs on the wall.
In version 8.11, which was updated on June 4, one piece of equipment that was once exclusive to most ADCs has undergone major changes.
The Sickle of Essence.
That is, sucking the blue knife.
Li Luo also appeared during MSI.
But the blue-sucking knife at that time and the blue-sucking knife that was changed in version 8.11 were completely two pieces of equipment.
The synthesis formula of the Blue Absorbing Knife updated in version 8.11 has been changed to Storm Sword, Caulfield's Warhammer and Sapphire Crystal.
The total price also changed from 3,400 yuan to 3,200 yuan.
Removed the amount of mana restored from critical hits and the chance of critical hits.
But correspondingly, the blue-sucking knife has a new feature of receiving mana recovery from basic attacks.
In addition, the most bt change of the blue suction knife is that it adds a new attribute.
After releasing the ultimate move, the next basic attack within ten seconds will provide a Cui Yao effect. This effect lasts for 8 seconds. It will provide the hero with 30% attack speed and will also return the basic attack. 20% of non-ultimate skill CD.
This attribute is extremely terrifying.
The coaches of most teams realized right away that Lucian might once again become the most popular ADC in the meta.
The rules of hero strength in League of Legends generally revolve around the two words "better than worse".
Except for a few of the popular heroes in a version because their attributes are too strong or they fit too well with the equipment of the current version, in most cases it is because the powerful heroes in the previous version were nerfed and become unplayable. Only then can I have a chance to stand out.
Lucian is not outstanding at all in terms of hero attributes.
However, the changes to Essence Reaver will undoubtedly change Lucian's ecology.
Endless changes make this version of the three-piece adc slower to deal with tank heroes without armor penetration.
Lucian, stood up.
The standard production method of Lucian in the current version of the three-piece set is dilapidated, black cut and blue-sucking knife.
With these three pieces of equipment, once Lucian starts a team fight with his ultimate move, he will become silky smooth after triggering the blue-sucking sword passive, and possess an irresistible charm that most ADC players can resist. .
However, few people would associate the blue-sucking knife with the crocodile.
Therefore, when we and edg, who were in the middle and upper reaches, faced off at the beginning of the summer split, edg taught us a good lesson.
When we were one point behind, we planned to use Xiye's unique skill Kassadin to equalize the score in the second game.
At this time, the junior boy took out a mid lane crocodile that no one expected.
And he stole the spotlight from everyone, including Li Luo, in the team battle, locking Kassadin on the spot with his perfectly connected penalty stance.
Crocodiles don't need to be out of shape.
Therefore, when a crocodile has a two-piece suit, at that point in time, his combat power is invincible.
edg, became the first person to eat crabs.
After this game, the second person to take advantage of the situation was the rw team.
doinb also used the mid laner Crocodile to help them cut off the bone of we.
Two consecutive bo3s were destroyed by crocodiles, and Xiye was paralyzed.
But the fact is that Xiye's hero pool is indeed too easy to be targeted by crocodiles.
In addition, during this month, each team is fumbling with the version, trying to find more ways to win games.
With the emergency weakening of the blue-sucking knife in version 8.12, the passive effect lasting eight seconds was weakened to 6 seconds, and the attack speed provided by the passive was also weakened from 30% to 20%. Li Luo understood, I guess the blue-sucking knife will be short-lived.
This kind of equipment is just like individual supermodel heroes. As long as the mechanism does not change, no matter how severely the value is reduced, there will still be a large number of players willing to pay for those short few seconds.
It's just another change made by Riot Games in version 8.12 that caused dissatisfaction among countless adc players and even players.
That is, the shield skills of soft assistants such as Feng Nu, Karma, and Lulu have all been cut.
The duration of the shield is all reduced.
The gain is also reduced.
At the same time, the incense burner monster was also killed.
The incense burner, which originally had 10% of its shield strength, had its shield strength reduced by another 2%.
This makes the already difficult adcs in the current version even worse. Except for Lucian, who is a t0-level adk and active on the field, other adcs... are quite miserable.
"Brother Luo, even support like us has been implicated by you. Do you know that people in the ad circle are scolding you now? They are obviously targeting you, but in the end they are all AOE."
Meiko said dumbfounded after seeing the announcement of the version update.
"Do you have any evidence against me? I'm suing you for defamation."
There was also a little helplessness in Li Luo's tone.
Squeeze adc's living space, so that as long as he can't get Lucian, it will be difficult to widen the gap with his opponents when taking other heroes as before.
This fist move is not cruel.
"Xi Bal'er, I've also been losing points recently. It's so damn hard to beat."
Jin Gong was also roaring there.
This version is perfect for those who love to cause trouble.
As a result, team-type top laners like Jin Gong are not very popular in the rankings, and can easily be destroyed by powerful heroes and junglers.
Changes to some equipment will increase the rolling range of the snowball after collapse. In addition, the rank of the King's Game is easier to surrender. Once the disadvantage is too great, they will quickly /ff to move to the next game once they know they can't turn over.
Jin Gong's top score is indeed difficult.
"Actually, top laners in a team like yours are the most valuable. Brother, I support you."
Xiaotian said uncharacteristically.
"No, I'm too bad. I can't handle the new version of Sword Demon at all. Q is empty, W is empty... it's too difficult."
Jin Gong was a little surprised and touched at the same time, but soon he sighed and spoke.
"If it doesn't work out, why don't you find a jungler to double queue?"
Xiaotian made another suggestion.
Jin Gong's eyes lit up: "Then you wait for me and we will be together?"
Xiaotian's expression changed when he heard this: "I've already enlightened you, why do you want to repay kindness with hatred?"
Jin Gong was stunned at first, and then stared: "Xi Bal'er! Fuck me..."
…
Just as the EDG Ueno duo were interacting cordially, Zhu Kai walked in with a notepad, clapped his hands and said: "I just got the news that the schedule of the Intercontinental Championship has been finalized. In addition, the version of the Intercontinental Championship is 8.13. Recently, everyone Be more prepared in Hanbok.”
"ha?"
Meiko was surprised: "8.13? This is too much. Our competition server is still playing 8.11, and it will be changed to 8.12 at the end of the month. By then, there will only be seven or eight days left before the start of the intercontinental competition. This 8.13..."
edgOthers also frowned.
The national server is already one version behind the foreign server.
For example, the rank version of the Korean server they are using for training at this time has reached 8.13.
The Korean server's competition server will also be updated soon, and it is expected that the time for the Chinese server's competition server will be updated to 8.12.
But the problem is that the current training matches of the Korean server are basically conducted in the 8.13 version, and they have begun to adapt to this version in advance.
On the other hand, this cannot be the case for the national server. After all, the next version of the competition server is still in 8.12. If they want to cope with the summer split in this version, most lpl teams will formulate and execute tactics around the 8.12 version.
You can not have it both ways.
While training for the lpl league version, they also have to find time to train for the intercontinental version.
If it's a slightly updated version, that's it.
However, there is a major update in 8.13, which is the rework of Sword Demon.
From the strength of the rank and its own attributes, it can be judged that the reworked Sword Demon is one of the rare heroes that can be taken to the game field and become a must-choose hero as soon as it is changed.
On the other hand, when Urgot was reworked, it took a long time for anyone to play it on the playing field.
Jin Gong is not a talented player.
He is hardworking.
But no matter how hard he works, he must be given the appropriate time to work hard.
Jin Gong, the hero of Sword Demon, is not yet proficient in it.
In this way, in the intercontinental competition, edg will suffer more in the BP.
"Is Riot trying to make a small deal for LCK? This version is too good for them."
Ming Kai also shook his head slightly and said.
What Mingkai likes is the feeling of being down-to-earth, thoroughly studying the version and the opponent.
There was obviously no time for him to study during this intercontinental competition.
"It would be fine if we were just a team. I took a quick look and found that among the ADC heroes, Jinx, Cannon, Rat and other heroes that had been unpopular for a long time have all been strengthened. Even if the Incense Burner monster is weakened, we can still Try to play around me as the core."
Li Luo's eyes flickered slightly: "The key is that the intercontinental competition is a collective event. Whether the other three teams can adapt to 8.13 is a question."
"It's hard to say. The Flag of Command has been deleted in version 8.13. It shouldn't be a good experience for rng. Ig... just need to worry about the state of their neuroknife. As for rw, to be honest, in my opinion, rw is the opposite They are the first team to be integrated into the 8.13 version.”
Abu also walked up and said.
"Anyway, let's prepare actively. The Korean team has been languishing since last year's World Championship. They are holding back their energy and want to make a comeback."
…
Early July.
The intercontinental tournament is coming.
The intercontinental competition will be held in Dalian.
The intercontinental competition is divided into several divisions, and there will be different confrontations between divisions.
As for the Asian Competition, there are three divisions and twelve teams participating.
Each of the three divisions lpl, lck and lms has 4 teams participating.
According to the schedule, there will be a Bo1 confrontation between the twelve teams, ensuring that each division will play 8 Bo1 games with the other two divisions.
Each team needs to play two bo1 games.
Finally, they will be ranked according to the points system. The top two divisions will advance to the finals. The four teams from each division will use a model similar to "Tianji Horse Racing" to guess which team the other side will send in a certain game, and let Our side sends the team it thinks is most suitable to participate in the battle.
For the audience, although the duration of this intercontinental competition is relatively short, the format of this competition is very interesting and exciting.
Tian Ji Horse Racing told the audience that such a competition system has the probability of allowing the so-called inferior horses to meet the superior horses, and the gap in strength can be smoothed out purely through tactics.
Not to mention the LCK, even the LMS division, which has finally gathered four teams, is gearing up to try and get their hands on this new championship that was added to the Grand Slam by Riot Games.
The premise is that they can get past the group stage.
July 2nd.
The major teams arrived in Dalian three days in advance.
And what’s more interesting is that all the players are together, and so are the coaches. This is a battle related to the dignity of the competition area, so the players and coaches need to communicate more with each other during this intercontinental competition. , understand each other about themselves.
"Brother Luo, have you missed me?"
When meeting the ig people, Prince Ning first licked his face and came closer.
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
Li Luo blinked.
"That must be the truth."
Prince Ning chuckled.
"It's a pity that I disappoint you. I still miss other people more."
Li Luo shook his head and moved forward, hugging and saying hello to Rookie, The Shy, Ah Shui, Bao Lan and others, but leaving King Ning aside.
"What is this called? This is called dog licking until the end..."
Xiaotian came close to King Ning and whispered, but he was interrupted by King Ning mid-sentence: "I heard this sentence, and finally licked the house."
Prince Ning glanced at him and hummed. At this moment, from the corner of his eye, Prince Ning caught sight of a nimble figure running towards this side quickly, and a smile appeared on his face.
Then Prince Ning turned around and opened his arms to welcome the visitor: "Sen Senming, I haven't seen my brother for such a long time. Have you ever..."
However, the next second, Prince Ning's expression became somewhat frozen.
I saw Shi Senming nimbly avoiding his Zack Q-like first move, jumping towards Li Luo, and at the same time whispered in a low voice: "Sneak attack!"
"You underestimated the reaction speed of adc."
Li Luo made a backhand and intercepted it.
Not far away, the rng people also arrived.
