"Good sign, why is it a good sign?"
When Jack Wuhu got up, he gave a classic wave of cancellation and laughed, "One thing to say, just looking at these two teams, didn't we all advance directly to the top 8?"
Li Nian glanced at the grouping situation, nodded slightly in agreement, "Don't say it, don't say it, this group stage is much easier to play than we did last year."
Whether it is TL or vit, after all, the two European and American teams will advance to the group stage. Judging from the current situation, they may be divided into group d where rng is, or they may be in group b.
But no matter what, looking at the ig group stage under normal circumstances, it has locked the No. 1 seed in the group stage in advance.
On the contrary, as the No. 3 seed, edg was assigned to kt's group c. Whether it faced c9 or g2, it would be a melee.
After all, c9 was in the semi-finals last year. This year, after a year of hard work in North America, their lineup has become more proficient.
Since g2 was disbanded by ig last year, the strength of the reorganized team can definitely be considered top-notch in the European and American divisions.
Although edg is not weak, it is still a little difficult to seize the No. 1 seed from the rising KT, and the No. 2 seed must also go all out.
Li Nian is currently particularly surprised by the rng grouping situation.
This year's FNC is the absolute hegemon in Europe. The double championship in spring and summer has proved the team's transcendent strength. The three-core system of Cap King + European City + bwipo is stable enough, and the wild assistant abilities of HiSend and Borxah are also quite excellent.
This year is once again hailed as the most promising year by European audiences. The journey of the Renaissance seems to be this year!
Needless to say, Group A.
Although FW is the absolute dominant player in the LMS division, they are still the tallest among the short ones.
After leaving the wild assistant linkage between Wolf King Casa and Maple, they were still the super team they were 15 minutes ago, but after this time the jungler and mid laner no longer knew how to play the game.
If we fail to gain a decisive advantage in the first 15 minutes, then the subsequent operations and fighting will be slightly inferior to the other four major regions.
AFS, also known as the African team, was able to compete with the two top teams kz and grf this year to become the second seed of lck. Just looking at the strength on paper, you can see his ambition this year.
The top, middle and jungle composed of the former Tigers mid laner Kuro, Sprite and Kill are very strong, and Kramer in the bottom lane is a typical Korean adc. It will be successful when the team battle takes over the game.
It can only be said that there is no so-called death group this time.
If netizens insist on joining in, it will basically mean that ig, a team hailed as the God of Death by countless viewers around the world, will dominate this world championship.
Li Nian yawned and turned off the lottery ceremony.
It has been live broadcast for more than 5 hours now, but it is always playing another game. Many viewers who want to learn techniques and ideas have begun to complain.
"Brother Nian, are you playing League of Legends?"
"Stop it. I saw him downloading Don't Starve in Wegame before. This guy just doesn't do his job properly."
"I still want to watch chicken games, but League of Legends has no interaction, and it doesn't look like the live broadcast effect is good."
"Oh, it would be fun if it fell into a box, right?"
Scanning the barrage, I found a lot of people scolding me.
Li Nian was already hungry. He looked at his phone and didn't know what to order for takeout. But as soon as he saw it, he became angry.
"You guys said that the anchor's defense has been broken," he pretended to be angry and turned on the muttering mode, "It seems that the memory for Don't Starve is not enough just now, why not uninstall League of Legends."
As soon as he spoke, he operated the mouse to put the League of Legends icon into the recycle bin.
The barrage was stunned for a moment.
They all wanted to report Li Nian for insulting their intelligence.
"Okay, okay, I know you are all computer experts." He was bored and opened 'This Computer' and found the uninstall in the folder.
Before taking action, he raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at the barrage provocatively, "Brothers, come back later when you get tired of playing Don't Starve."
Then click OK.
League of Legends was uninstalled on the spot.
Jack, who was called over by kkoma earlier, also jumped back and ran back, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face, "Brother Nian, are you in Gan Shen Mo?"
"Uninstall the Alliance...Are you ready to retire?"
"I......"
Li Nian, who was originally planning to tell the truth, suddenly became interested and decided to tease the Shiba Inu, and deliberately said, "Didn't I eat chicken with Wei Shen earlier?"
Jack nodded confusedly, "Then what?"
"Then," Li Nian turned his e-sports chair and looked at Jack, and said seriously, "Their 4am team is still short of a jungle blaster. I hope I can find time to go for a trial training."
"Who wants to try out?"
Su Xiaoluo, who happened to be passing by, heard Li Nian's words, walked up to the two of them, and asked in confusion, "What is the trial training for?"
"Brother Nian said that he does not plan to participate in the global finals, and is planning to go skydiving with Wei Shen to land 98k!"
Jack, who reacted quickly, immediately changed his words, preparing to play tricks on his friend, "Manager Xiao Luo, you see this guy is unorganized and undisciplined. I can't give him a fine of 2,000 yuan to give him a good meal."
Su Xiaoluo frowned.
After hearing what the Shiba Inu said, he looked at Li Nian in confusion, "Is this happening?"
Li Nian nodded wildly.
I firmly believe in Shiba Inu's words, "Not only that, I am also planning to choose a skin. I will definitely use Lucian as a jungler this time to get this skin!"
"You two..." Su Xiaoluo laughed dumbly. He didn't understand that these two people were playing tricks, and he was not interested in talking anymore, so he changed the topic and said, "Get ready for the meeting, tomorrow and the next two days There is also the filming of the promotional video for the expedition, and there are many commercial performances to follow.”
"Especially Li Nian."
Su Xiaoluo quirked his lips, "Tengjing headquarters, Mercedes-Benz and the General Administration will look for you before you go abroad, so be prepared."
After listening, Li Nian's originally raised corners of his mouth immediately dropped, and he looked melancholy at the elated Shiba Inu.
"Oh oh oh, the hard life of a billionaire!"
Ignore this guy.
Li Nian said hello to the audience, turned off the live broadcast room, and went to the familiar conference room with his teammates.
Coach KKoma is already at the front of the conference room, ready to inform the players of the precautions this time.
"This World Championship version will use version 8.19," he tapped on the small blackboard. "There are not many adjustments overall. It is very different from versions 8.16 and 8.17."
"The only one who has some distinction is the Sword Demon."
After being reworked, Aatrox suffered multiple nerfs from his fist, and in version 8.18, his e Shadow Rush and r Destruction have been strengthened again.
It's equivalent to saying.
ig now needs to put Aatrox at the top of their lineup selections again.
And accordingly.
Other teams will also notice this hero. If the red team does not ban him, how to use the hero to deal with it is an issue that needs to be considered.
"Trolls have been significantly weakened."
Li Nian nodded.
He doesn't use Troll as a hero much, and to be honest, it's okay since he's been weakened and can't play.
After all, in the version of Urgot and Thain on the top lane, Troll has to play the role of Ter, and it just so happens that Li Nian doesn't like this hero very much.
the reason is simple.
The release of pillars is a skill, and the hero Troll is rarely used in his hero pool to coordinate the team's early rhythm.
After all, if you don't put it properly, you will be like Xiao Hei in SKT in the first LCK bubble game, not only torturing the players for the opponent to enjoy, but then he will really become the biggest war criminal.
Secondly, Sejuani, who ran away with the pig, could not escape the clutches of the designer.
It's not because of how strong he is.
It's because the designer wants to completely increase the priority of the midfield and top jungle, and Pig Girl happens to be the fish that slips through the net when it comes to protecting the bottom lane.
Just like rng.
Although King Ning doesn't like to use weak players in the jungle, the weak Pig Girl has crucial abilities in counter-crouching and protecting the development of the bottom laner.
The fist weakens him, which indirectly weakens the bottom lane's influence on the situation.
Li Nian held his mouth shut.
He finally understood why rng fell to g2 in the World Championship after dominating for a year in his previous life.
Expansion is one thing.
Then Riot designers’ abnormal targeting and the intention to improve the mid-range and upper jungle strategies are particularly obvious.
kkoma once again briefly talked about other position heroes.
Then the 8.19 version officially started, which was the hero they used in the global finals version for more than a month.
"Wouldn't a certain hero be banned by default this year?"
Jiang Chenglu muttered, "I managed to play Thain in the finals last year and enjoyed the joy of being a demigod-level blacksmith, but I didn't expect that Riot would ban him at the beginning of the group stage!"
"That's not very clear!"
kkoma said truthfully, "Don't people like Fist use their heart to make skin and use their feet to deal with bugs?"
In version 8.19.
Tahm Kench and Braum have been weakened one after another. Although protective supports can still be used in this year's World Championship, their priority is not very high.
After all, Thresh and Pyke have been strengthened again.
Especially for Thresh, the mana cost of skill Q has been reduced, the cooldown has been shortened by 3 seconds at all levels, and the laning ability has been greatly enhanced.
Baolan shrank her head and said nothing.
Jack, however, had no intention of letting go of his support. He had always been very keen on poking other people's wounds.
"Pokémon, you don't really want the team to dedicate a ban slot to you!"
"Don't talk nonsense," Baolan raised her head with disdain, "Brother, Thresh has a 100% winning rate this year, what's your dog's name?"
"Oh, is it so?"
Jack retorted, "If it wasn't my Delavin that killed the opponent, what would you say if your Thresh 10Q missed nine times?"
Baolan blushed and sneered, "Bring me the evidence!"
Li Nian, who was not too concerned about watching the excitement, shouted, "Let's watch the video. Anyway, the video of Baolan's dinner highlights can't be loaded on the tablet."
"okok!"
kkoma signaled the players to be quiet again.
The topic shifted to the top lane hero situation.
"Dreaus' W and E skills have been strengthened, and the armor-breaking effect brought by the E skill has additional benefits for dealing with Urgot and Thane."
"The other one is Sword Lady..."
Swordswoman herself has to fight her opponent closely online.
However, the HP recovery brought by the passive flaw is too small, and it will obviously suffer when facing other tanks or heroes like Crocodile and Jace.
Therefore, Riot Games once again strengthened Sword Lady’s recovery, greatly strengthening the laning.
The top lane is currently handled by these two heroes, but Jiang Chenglu's strengths have been strengthened.
On the other hand, look at the wild area.
In the 8.18 version, the weakening was not enough, so Riot sharpened its skills again and made a significant weakening of the jungle heroes.
Kha'Zix, Spider, and Prince were all cut off from their main arteries, and basically missed the chance to participate in this World Championship.
As for Snowman Nunu, the effect after the redesign of Riot is not very satisfactory. Now, except for Li Nian and lck's Little Peanut, other teams basically put him in the backup position.
Li Nian quite liked this hero.
After all, the joy of pushing a snowball can really make a day enjoyable.
KKoma did not explain the teams that need special attention this time. After all, the grouping situation of the World Championship has not yet been finalized.
They will not go to South Korea until September 27 after the play-in rounds are over.
Su Xiaoluo took over and announced the list of participants in the global finals.
'Starting on the road: theshy (Jiang Chenglu)'
'Jungle starter: fly (Li Nian)'
'Starting in the middle: rookie (Song Yijin)'
'adc first appearance: jackeylove (Yu Wenbo)'
"Assistant starter: baolan (Wang Liuyi)"
"Substitute: bin (Chen Zebin)"
"Emergency substitute: west (Chen Long)"
Today's emergency substitutes basically have no chance to play, and Su Xiaoluo brought Xi Huang with him again just to make up the number.
After all, in the ig training group, except for Duke who can compete, there is no other player who can integrate into their tactical system.
Although Chen Zebin is still a newcomer.
But he works hard enough, and his talent is top-notch. He has his own ideas in both laning and team battles.
Played very well.
After Duck won his triple crown last year, he completely started to mess up. Now he has been allowed to play in the second team by Su Xiaoluo, leading the team to play ldl to replace Chen Zebin.
By the time this meeting is over, it's almost 12 o'clock.
Li Nian has no interest in continuing the live broadcast. He will definitely make up for the live broadcast tomorrow, and he has to get up early.
After washing.
Jack was still chatting under the quilt. Judging from his laughter, this guy was probably having endless gang fights in various restrooms.
can only say.....
It's nice to be young.
Presenting the system panel that had not been opened for a long time, Li Nian looked at the data on it.
"Current data panel:"
"Reactions: 100+"
"Hand speed: 100+"
"Prediction: 100+"
"Consciousness: 100+"
"Calculation: 100+"
"Level: lv2"
The column of attribute points has disappeared from the panel data at some point.
He put his hands behind his head and smiled helplessly.
When he activated the system for the first time, he only had 70 points after receiving the novice gift pack with all attributes +10. However, in just one year, he used various tricks to make the barrage climax and inflate his attribute values. full.
This situation...
They should be the so-called hexagonal warriors.
Pictures of this year flashed through his mind, and Li Nian suddenly felt that all of this seemed a bit unreal.
But the laughter of the Shiba Inu next door was still so clearly visible and a little penetrating.
Putting on his headphones to block out Yu Wenbo's laughter, Li Nian reopened Xiaopo. After all, this year's Riot Music Company's theme song MV has been released.
The song "rise" that excited countless people in Incheon remained unchanged, but when he saw the content of the music video, he suddenly became interested.
