EDG had only one game in the second week, a bye after playing against SS.
However, since the game will be updated to version 7.12 in the third week, the team did not rest in the extra time and discussed the rough lineup plan for the next version in the tactics room.
"In terms of equipment, the auxiliary equipment Knight's Oath, the Box of the Iron Sun have been strengthened, and Zeke's aggregation has been added. Now the hard auxiliary ability has come out. Glory of Justice has been changed to glacier armor synthesis, and buffs have been added to tank heroes, including Fist. Are you determined to turn the S7 into a tank version?"
Abu is a bit unable to keep up with the update rhythm of Riot Games. Before the arrival of Sakura Girl, what EDG was best at was the tank version. Don't the designers know that doing this is to strengthen the mouse and the factory director in disguise?
"It stands to reason that MSI champions will be weakened after MSI. It's impossible for Riot to really think that strengthening tanks is of no use to the factory director, right?" Meiko also couldn't understand, "And in the support position, my tanks are not softer either. Help the weak..."
"Hey hey hey! I get it!" The factory director suddenly realized, "Does Riot want to build us into a new SKT? If we defend the World Championship this year, the popularity and traffic of Mika and I will definitely be ten times higher than that of SKT. .”
The fist is really trying to create a god!
"If designers deliberately strengthen us and win the World Championship, such a champion will be too weak to win!!" Mei Xia didn't like this statement, "And I don't think Riot designers are such people. League of Legends The designers have always been very fair! They will not deliberately favor a certain team. You see, Galio and Karma, which I am very good at, have also been weakened. Abyss is about to be changed into a tank outfit. Banshee has been strengthened a lot. Dolan Ring’s ability to kill minions and restore mana can no longer be stacked.”
Obviously she has never touched Galio once since coming back from MSI, and the winning rate of other mid laners in lpl and lck when they choose Galio is not very outstanding, but the designer still took action on this hero.
The subsequent changes to Abyss, Banshee and Dolan Ring will undoubtedly weaken the influence of mage heroes on the game in all aspects. In the early stage, we can no longer suppress two Dolans and three Dolans. In the middle and late stages, you will have a Banshee and I will have one. The abyss keeps talking to each other's subordinates...
"That's right! As a professional player, how can you always think about waiting for the version? Don't look at this version to strengthen the jungle, maybe the next version will weaken it! It's still very early before the World Championship, maybe the designer will cut it down "Director, you have to..." Abramovich quickly followed Mika's words to stabilize the player's mentality. After all, if you really think that Riot is going to help Edg defend the title, it will not be good if you become too proud later.
"That's right... I haven't taken out the jungle tree yet, and Riot has also weakened it this time. Is it true that Riot is really like what Mika said before the start of the summer game, it only weakens the hero according to its strength, and does not specifically target or Strengthen a certain player?" The factory elder asked the player, and after a few words from Mika and Abu, he immediately threw away the unnecessary little thoughts.
And the Riot headquarters at this moment.
Designer Chun Li, who was planning how to continue to strengthen the bottom lane and weaken the mid laner's influence on the game from the side, suddenly felt a chill for no reason.
"Ah, who scolded me?" He couldn't help but think, "That's not right. As a balance designer, people must be scolding me every day. It makes no sense for it to show up on me today."
Of course, he could not have imagined that as the designer who is most resented by gamers, he would receive unanimous praise from edg players today, so much so that his body would react mysteriously to it...
…
In short, the changes in 7.12 have little impact on edg, and it can even be said that it has been greatly enhanced.
Immediately after the third week of the lpl, the game begins.
At 7 pm on June 23, edg faced the jdg team led by doinb.
Prior to this, jdg lost to the nb team again, ranking second to last in Group A with a record of 1-3.
Although jdg this season was renamed from the acquisition of qg, which was third in Group A of the previous spring regular season, and the starting lineup remains unchanged, the adjustments of the team management and the changes in the individual players' status have undoubtedly affected the team's results.
The negative impact of the management on the team is that while the team itself has two foreign players, clid and doinb, they also spent money to buy an adc-level foreign player Loken. As a result, the team directly has two sets of starting lineups, and training games are also required. Make separate appointments with two lineups.
In terms of players, Clid, who was born as a carnivorous jungler, has worked hard to adapt to this common version where the jungle is filled with pigs, princes, barrels, Zach, and tanks, but after all, he is just a newcomer who has debuted for less than half a year. It is really difficult to practice heroes. Not so fast…
So in a game with a high probability of losing against edg, jdg decided to come up with a second lineup, replacing ad player loken and jungler xinyi.
In this way, even if the loss is miserable, dounb has a reason to say - it is normal to lose the game when new players are training the lineup!
jdg did lose quickly in the game that day.
In the first round of the game, Meixia got version 7.12. The designer originally wanted to change the hero back to the bottom lane, strengthen the hero's attack speed, and change the passive 5:5 basic attack physical and magic damage split to a 2:8 physical and magic damage split. In this way, the aircraft Armor-piercing armor with higher magic damage is not suitable. You can go down the lane and produce ADC equipment such as guns and electric knives, but the designer obviously did not consider it. Can I use the equipment produced by ADC as a mid laner?
She immediately started walking with the three-phase musket, which made Galio, who was doinb, miserable.
In the second game, doing learned the lesson and took out the long-handed hero Syndra.
Mei Xia also thought that it would be okay to abuse doinb, but it frightened the two newcomers Xinyi and Loken into a shadow, which was not good for the development of the LPL, so when selecting players, he used the mid laner Fox as a response, without too much pressure.
In this way, doinb deliberately started the newcomer against edg, and it really worked! With Mika's love for the entire LPL, she is indeed unwilling to kill too bloody in front of the newcomers...
In the second game, jdg lasted until 29 minutes, and edg flattened the crystal.
Another 2-0.
Until June 25th.
edg faced off against the nh team led by scout.
This team in the summer split can be called luxurious in terms of player status alone.
Top laner V is also known as the 957 brother. Not only do they look very similar, but they are also equally powerful.
Jungle Swift, needless to say, qg twin stars, dounb old friends.
The mid laner, scout, is the guy whose job was taken away by Mixia.
The adc players are lwx and auxiliary lqs, the future champions in the bottom lane.
nb's lineup lost to EDG in the knockout round in the spring split and achieved a fourth-place record. Now that it has gone through the spring split, it has already improved to a higher level in the summer split!
Meixia fought hard with them for three games and finally won 2-1.
EDG's long-term undefeated regular season bo3 round in lpl comes to an end here...
"This game tells us that EDG is not invincible!!" the commentator even shouted after the game.
"Finally, a team can force edg to a 1-1 tie. I look forward to the games after nb!!" Miller is also very satisfied with nb.
Although they all like mika, watching the crushing games all the time is quite boring, so even mika fans expressed their appreciation for nb's performance.
Meixia herself was also interviewed after the game, praising nb with an open mind.
【This is the magnanimity of mika-chan! 】
【Mika is a pure person who likes games! 】
[Cry to death, she loves lpl so much! 】
Of course, Meixia would not reveal her selfish feelings.
After all, nb is also a participating team in the intercontinental competition. Only when they become stronger can edg have a chance to continue the honor of the Grand Slam!
