The lpl knockout round begins three days after the regular season, but according to the bubble competition arrangement, the top edg in the regular season does not need to appear on the first day of the playoffs.
As the top of Group A, they are eligible to start the playoffs directly from the semi-finals.
According to the schedule, the team has seven full days of rest.
The team first took two days off after the regular season. However, it was a hot summer day, and the team members were all Internet-addicted teenagers who didn't like to go out very much. So, including Mixia, they basically spent time at the base playing ranked games.
On the afternoon of the 10th, manager Abramovich called the players for a brief meeting.
The basic task at the meeting is to explain the game version of the playoff client.
The official announcement is to use version 6.15, which was just updated on August 1st.
According to internal information obtained by Abramovich through his communication skills, League of Legends designers will consciously revise the version around the World Championship starting from the playoffs.
Having learned the lessons of S5 Tetsuo, from 6.15 to future World Championship versions, in principle, there will be no redoing or new heroes. At the same time, the main method of correction work is to weaken heroes as much as possible instead of strengthening them.
So in version 6.15, which was selected for the playoffs, the designers crazily weakened nearly twenty heroes!
In the version of strengthened heroes, players only need to test whether those heroes who have received buffs can stand out. However, in the version where a large number of heroes are weakened, players want to find version heroes. They not only need to test whether the weakened heroes really break away from the version, but also whether the heroes who have been weakened really stand out from the version. Among the more than 90 other heroes, we need to find heroes who have been greatly strengthened in disguise as their natural enemies have been weakened.
If you want to find the version as quickly as possible, you can only rely on constant trial and error and learning.
So Abramovich emphatically praised what America has done in the recent rankings.
She really ranked in more than 20 games in two days, and there was not a single mid lane hero that was the same!
So much so that the deep-rooted Hero Bowl stereotype of her on the Internet has faded a lot. Now the popular view has changed from a pure assassin player to——
[Although there are many heroes that Mika is good at in ranking, only those who are confidently selected in the competition and can produce results are considered the hero pool! 】
[Mika-chan is always practicing useless heroes. The key to the competition is to choose the strongest heroes in those versions! 】
Although Mika's main motivation for changing heroes is to avoid boredom...
After talking about hero changes, Abu then talked about changes in game mechanics.
In order to completely eradicate the previous routine of Mei Xia switching lanes when she couldn't beat the bottom lane when playing SS, alliance designers started from version 6.15 to shorten the defense mechanism of defense towers, that is, the removal time of the damage reduction mechanism of defense towers in the early stage from 7 minutes to 5 minutes. minutes, which means that the tower can be demolished faster in the early stage.
At the same time, a first-blood tower bounty mechanism was launched. When a hero demolishes a first-blood tower, heroes near the defense tower share 275 gold coins, while global heroes receive a 25 gold coin bounty.
If the changes at the beginning of the season effectively reduced lane swapping, the first-blood tower mechanism completely eliminated Korean-style lane swapping operations.
Audiences who watched the last round of the LPL match between Mei Xia and SS said directly that if the first blood tower mechanism was launched earlier, Matin would have a chance to kill Mika online!
At the meeting, Abramovich also explained edg’s training match arrangements for the next few days.
As a manager, although he does things more out of his own interests, he has nothing to say about the treatment of players and the management of the team.
Before the start of the playoffs this time, he just didn't know where to find channels, and arranged an appointment for the team to do long-term training with a wealthy team established by a famous Korean telecommunications company - if they can all participate in the World Championship, then the training match partnership will still be there. will be extended.
Of course, this team sponsored by a telecommunications company is not SKT. Although edg defeated the opponent in the Mid-Season Cup, Faker will not recognize their strength, let alone the humiliation of having a private discussion with Sakura Girl.
Abuyo joins the kt team that is currently ranked third in the regular season of lck and has just defeated ssg in the playoffs to advance to the semi-finals!
"Since the World Championship last year, our LPL team has rarely invited the LCK team to play training games. This opportunity to join forces with kt is rare. I only got the opportunity because of my beautiful performance in the Mid-Season Cup. Everyone. Play hard in the training matches, study more and think more!"
Abu is very proud to have an appointment with the lck team.
However, Meixia showed little interest in this.
When it comes to playing training matches with the LPL team, she is not stingy about teaching future tactics. But when it comes to playing training matches with the LCK team, she is not willing to hand over her treasured experience!
Moreover, the kt team, if I remember correctly, didn’t even make it to the World Championship in S6 this season, so playing training matches with them to learn from them is of little significance.
"Coach, I think we should play training matches with the LPL team. The LCK team is not as good as this!" Mei Xia raised her hand to object.
"Mika, don't talk nonsense. Which LPL team can beat SKT? There are three teams in LCK that are at the same level as LCK. KT is one of them. Don't think that because MSI beat SKT, we are better than the other team. "Abu's fear of the LCK team is still deep-rooted.
And the recent remarks made by lck are indeed similar to Abramovich.
After returning from MSI, SKT repeatedly ran into obstacles in LCK. However, it was only in the second half of the season that Bang's state improved, and the team was barely able to lift the team to a record of 13-5 and tied with KT, and then relied on a small point advantage to rank second in the regular season.
This shows that the overall strength of the LCK division is strong. There are at least three teams at the same level as SKT, and SKT is not the strongest one. They can learn from each other and strengthen themselves in the league.
And edg came back from msi and was invincible against lpl.
This does not mean that edg is invincible, it only proves that all lpl teams are bad chickens, only edg stands out from the rest, and no matter how good the team is, they will only get better with more practice and will not improve.
"Just think of it as a way to understand the style of the LCK team and prepare for the World Championship in advance!" Seeing that Mixia was still not willing to play a training match with LCK, the factory director came out to enlighten him.
"Okay." Meixia nodded in agreement.
Abramovich has already made appointments for training matches, and there is no point in her refusing.
Just think of it as hiding your strength and playing ranked.
So edg played several training matches that night and the next day. Under the situation of Mixia hiding heroes, the total record of both sides was 3-2, and the team's performance was quite satisfactory.
Both coaches are very satisfied.
Abu feels that MSI's 3-1 victory over SKT was more due to the team's superb performance, especially the unexpected performance of mage heroes such as Mika Ryze.
In this training match, we were able to steadily defeat the top LCK team 3-2, which is impressive enough.
In the training room of the kt team, the players also use skt as the standard.
skt lost to edg 1-3.
Their training record is 2-3.
If the levels of edg and skt remain the same, rounding off, their results are better than skt.
kt's next opponent is ssg first, and then skt.
Score, kt's young captain, sighed confidently after the training match, "Mika is really powerful, but our laning is better than msi's skt, so we should be safe in the next knockout round!"
