Compared with last year's Bayan Intercontinental Tournament trip, this year's Intercontinental Tournament has been successfully scheduled for mainland China, and the first battle will be in Dalian!
Especially for home games, team players will not suffer from jet lag, which is good news.
The three division teams participating in this year's intercontinental competition have some new faces joining them.
The participating teams are as follows:
LPL division: RNG, IG, EDG, RW.
LCK division: SKT, KT, AFS, KZ
LMS division: FW, M17, MAD, GRX.
Last year's OMG fell into disrepair after Sima Laojie left. It ranked last in the country and had no hope of competing in this year's intercontinental competition.
The teams in the LMS division are, as always, the four traditional strong teams. They lack new blood and rely solely on the Flash Wolves to serve as the face of the division.
On the LCK side, another dark horse team, AFS 'African Team', successfully appeared this year!
After Ma Datou left the team,
The African team introduced new top laner 'Killn' and ROX mid laner 'Kuro' to fully make up for the team's shortcomings. It has maintained an unbeaten record since the start of the summer split.
Ranked first in the standings!
in,
Especially the top laner Killn, who can be said to be the unrivaled top laner in the Cold Kingdom. The former top laner in the world, Khan and Semb, were defeated one after another in head-to-head battles.
He was also officially recognized as the world's number one top laner before the game. His morale is strong and he can be said to be a strong rival in the LPL!
…
The time came to June 28, four days before the start of the intercontinental competition on July 2.
Early in the morning,
The annoying alarm clock buzzed, and the most maddening thing was that the cell phone beside the bed came from the phone with the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling.
"If~You, IF~You~~"
It was supposed to be a song exclusive to the BIGBANG boy group, but under Doinb's charming voice, it became a life-threatening weapon.
"Kim Tae-sang, lock me up!!"
Su Chen, whose head was covered by the quilt on the upper bunk, was instantly awakened by a nightmare and angrily hammered the iron plate of the lower bunk with his hands.
"Bang bang bang~"
"I know, I know."
The loud noise made Doinb drowsily open his eyes. He turned off the ringtone of his cell phone, leaned sideways and said feebly: "Isn't my singing pretty good?"
"You are so sweet. If your voice was not more effective than the alarm clock, I would never listen to it a second time."
Patting his cheeks to dispel his sleepiness, Su Chen lifted up the quilt, turned over and climbed down the stairs.
"Don't sleep, we are leaving for Dalian today, hurry up, hurry up."
After kicking Doinb who was wrapped in a caterpillar shape, Su Chen yawned, picked up the water glass on the table, and poured it in.
"Huh~"
The refreshing chill flowed down his throat and into his chest. Su Chen couldn't help but shiver, and instantly became more energetic, "It feels good!"
After he finished washing up in the bathroom, he walked into the room and saw Doinb still lying dead on the bed.
"You're forcing me to be hard, right?"
With black lines on her forehead, Su Chen stepped forward quickly, grabbed the two corners of the quilt with both hands, and pulled it back and up.
"Wow~"
Doinb, who was sleeping soundly in the warm quilt, suddenly experienced the chilling meaning. Goosebumps appeared on his exposed skin. He let out a scream of "ouch" because of the cold, and finally woke up.
"Get up quickly. In the car later, there will be time for you to sleep."
Holding the vibrating razor, Su Chen looked in the mirror and carefully trimmed his chin.
This is why officials now take the initiative to communicate with major clubs, hoping that players will pay more attention to image management.
This is good news for makeup artists in the alliance.
They really can't stand it. When putting on makeup, wearing a greasy head that hasn't been washed in weeks feels so sour.
Here, I must criticize RNG’s traditional spicy hotpot!
…
After a while of busy work, all the RW team members appeared in front of the base with a new look, carrying their suitcases again.
Even Hongmi gave up his usual short T-shirt and large pants and put on a suit and leather shoes, which gave him a bit of a middle-aged uncle's handsomeness.
"Eight o'clock, no more, no less, not late."
"Let's go!"
The shuttle bus is running,
inside the carriage,
"Gugu~"
His stomach growled with hunger, Killua raised his head and said in pain: "I'm so hungry!!"
"Let's eat some bread first, and then buy something to eat when we get to the airport."
Su Chen, who was in the front seat, opened his backpack, took out two pieces of bread and handed them to Killua. He also took out a few more and distributed them to his teammates next to him.
"Shen Su is still considerate."
Taking the bread with a smile, Hirano Aya added: "Oh, by the way, have you read the online analysis of our expedition team?"
"A pure idiot ranked us RW in third place. Why is this?"
Chewing bread while breathing, his already round face became even more swollen, "Didn't IG just be defeated by us? How could they be in front of us!"
"It doesn't matter whether you are ranked high or low in China, but compared with the ranking in LCK, I really want to curse!"
The good-tempered Ah Guang is somewhat angry.
Among the 12 teams that went on the expedition, there was an overall ranking listed by the players.
The team at the top of the list is obviously the undisputed RNG team.
But apart from that, the next four teams are all LCK teams!
Starting from KZ, SKT in the middle, KT and AFS in the middle, they monopolized the bottom four spots on the list.
IG is fifth, RW is sixth, the seventh place is Flash Wolves from the Bayan Division, and EDG is ranked eighth.
This list has been announced, and it can be said that there is a lot of criticism.
"What does this mean?"
"Still living in S4S5, the Korean team has great strength!"
"I just don't understand. RNG can be ranked first, but why are RW and IG ranked fifth and sixth?"
…
"At first glance, it's Han Zapai's."
Old Thief Sima indifferently tore open the bag and took a bite of the bread. As if thinking of something, he turned to look at Doinb and said, "I'm not talking about you."
"There are too many diodes now. One is extremely sweet, and the other is extremely black. It is really boring to look at. It is not as powerful as the past scapegoating. At least the data is collected from black people."
Su Chen couldn't help but shake his head.
He also suddenly had some recollections of the glorious days when he used to collect information in small black bars and stay up all night hacking EDG.
"The taste of taking the blame has definitely changed."
The old thief Sima, who is a barista, also felt deeply.
I think they were resisting pressure back then. In addition to black people, they would occasionally share some game routines and understandings to increase the efficiency of scoring.
Unlike now, when it opens, it is a gathering place for Kuanzi Heizi's fun, and the atmosphere about the game has weakened a lot.
While chatting, the vehicle also drove to its destination.
The photographers who followed began to capture the players.
"The flight is at ten o'clock. It's only nine-ten now. Let's meet in fifty."
The leader of RW just finished speaking.
"I'm starving, I'm starving."
"Chong Ah Chong Ah!"
Killua's body was trembling with fat as he ran towards the store.
"Damn it, this looks like Team RW!"
"Xinhuo, really Xinhuo!!"
"There is also old thief Sima..."
Some young tourists and store clerks were surprised and their eyes lit up when they saw RW's unique customized team uniforms.
It was too late, but it was soon,
"Fuck, God!!"
The RNG players also happened to rush to the store, especially the sharp-eyed Mala Xiangguo. When they spotted Su Chen checking out, he screamed out.
"Stop your voice, sir. Isn't the real God behind you?"
Fortunately, wearing a mask prevented Su Chen from dying on the spot.
"False gods, false gods, you are the true god."
The puppy smiled back and waved.
"Wei Shen? Where is Godv?"
Hirano Aya behind the shelf made a confused voice, "Why is he, a chicken-eating contestant, here?"
"Hahaha--"
Everyone laughed happily.
"Xiaochen, what are you eating?"
Xiao Ming didn't notice anything. He reached out and grabbed the bag from Su Chen's hand. When he saw a steaming bag inside, he took out one and ate it.
"Eat whatever you want. If it's not enough, I'll buy more."
Su Chen didn't care. He smiled and stretched out his hand to hug Mala Xiangguo, and then greeted the puppy, Xiaohu and others intimately.
They are all good friends and it is really a blessing to be able to represent the division and fight side by side.
"Oh, how many brothers are you so lively?"
"You haven't had breakfast yet? Do you want something to eat? I'll treat you."
Two big bulls, Ah Shui and Ning Wang, and three socially fearful autistic children walked over in a swaggering manner.
Then there are the EDG players,
Su Chen had a good time reminiscing with the factory director.
It can be said that the four teams present today all have good relationships with each other.
Among the assistants: Xiao Ming and Meike, two optimistic people, took the initiative to talk to Baolan and Killua.
Between the junglers: Su Chen, the factory director, Mala Xiang Guo, Ning Wang and Kasa each talked about their understanding of the version.
Two top blue-collar workers on the road were chatting,
Zhizi and Doinb were visiting each other, and the atmosphere was lively and unpleasant.
"Come on, let's take a photo together."
The photographer responsible for shooting the documentary also didn’t want to miss today’s beautiful scenes.
"RNG is the strongest and must occupy the middle."
Su Chen shouted.
"Su Chen is the world champion of S7, and he is the best candidate for the C position."
The puppy was not to be outdone.
"Come on, everyone, feel free to stand."
One sentence was recognized by everyone.
The players of the four teams wore chaotic uniforms in red, black, royal, and white colors, which were intertwined but extremely harmonious.
“123~Eggplant”
As the photographer's shutter closed, the most united intercontinental competition players officially set off!
…
That night, the League of Legends version was optimized again.
This version update of the intercontinental competition has brought a heavy blow to the LPL team that is setting sail!
——
In a luxury hotel booked,
RW players are conducting training matches to maintain their condition.
If you don't play for a day, your hands will feel rusty. No matter how tired or hard you are, you must maintain the most basic amount of training.
Hongmi is also behind the team, observing the players' personal status.
To his delight,
The state of Su Chen and others did not decline after losing the game with RNG. On the contrary, they were all very motivated and energetic.
"By the way, this version update will be at 9:00 pm, right?"
Glancing down at his watch, Hongmi looked vaguely expectant.
His coaching staff is hungry.
We vow to find a path that is most suitable for the team to move forward as soon as the version is updated to gain an advantage.
It lasted until 9 o'clock at night, when the training match ended.
Su Chen and others met to quit the game, but before they could turn around, they heard an angry "西八" sound!
"Coach, isn't the version of the intercontinental competition not very friendly to us?"
Looking at Hongmi's livid face, Su Chen was shocked.
"It's not just bad, it's simply terrible!"
Hongmi slapped the table and cursed angrily: "Xiba officials definitely see the LCK losing all the time, so this version change completely fits their team's style of play!"
"Damn it, isn't it because the Flag of Command has been weakened again?"
"I suspect it's because of the weakening of AD. Our shooter position has no problem beating the LCK."
"Coach, what exactly is going on?"
Everyone started asking questions.
"Okay, be quiet and listen to me first."
Hongmi knocked on the table in front of him, waited for everyone to be quiet, and said seriously: "First of all, the only good news is that the current version 8.17 has not changed much on the jungle, and has almost no impact at all."
"The main reason is to weaken the experience of river crabs and the values of individual heroes. It also increases the bounty of heroes and the economy of artillery vehicles. Overall, it is acceptable."
Hearing this,
Doinb and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Your thighs are not affected, so the lower limit of RW is the most basic guarantee.
"Coach, could it be said that all other positions have been affected?"
Su Chen discovered the seriousness of the problem.
"That's right."
Hongmi nodded slowly, "Although the designer did not weaken Flag of Command again, he found another way to strengthen many warrior-type top laners."
"Among them, Nuoshou, Sword Girl, and Jace are all the enemies of tank tanks, especially the rework of Sword Girl and Sword Demon. If nothing else happens, the Intercontinental Tournament will usher in a true upper, middle and jungle version!"
Hearing this,
Aguang's face turned bitter. He couldn't play any of these heroes.
On the other hand, when Breath heard this, his eyes shone brightly. When he was in the A-League, he was known as a warrior top laner.
The proficiency levels of Jess and Sword Lady are both very high. The version has shifted to the top, which is obviously good news for him.
"But I can't play, so it's useless no matter how good I am."
The look in his eyes gradually faded, and he lowered his head as he lost his breath.
"This is just the beginning."
Listening to Aguang's wailing, Hongmi let out a heavy sigh, "Do you think it's over after strengthening the midfield version?"
"Um...is there more?"
Su Chen asked in shock.
"Alas, the designers not only strengthened the upper and midfield, but also seriously nerfed the marksman."
Hongmi lowered her head and moved the mouse to switch out two photos, turned sideways, and said sadly and angrily: "See for yourselves."
Su Chen quickly looked around, and the first piece of equipment that caught his eye was in the shape of a long knife. Both the handle and the whole body were filled with green fluorescence, like a Qinglong Yanyue knife.
The name of the equipment
Shoji's Spear:
Properties of Qinglong Sword: Increase attack by 60, increase health by 250, and increase cooldown reduction by 20%.
Equipment effect: After the player casts the ultimate skill, basic attacks will reduce the cooldown time of the remaining non-ultimate skills.
Passive effect: After the player casts the ultimate skill, the player's next basic attack within 10 seconds will provide the awakening dragon effect, which lasts for 6 seconds. 30 seconds cooldown.
Awakening Dragon
Provides the player with 50% attack speed, and basic attacks will also refund 20% of the remaining non-ultimate skill cooldown time.
"The designers said this is equipment for shooters."
Looking at the wide-eyed team members, Hongmi pinched her eyebrows and said irritably.
"Are you kidding, this is equipment for shooters?!"
The old thief Sima, who was always known for his facial paralysis, now had the urge to curse.
"It provides 250 health points and 20% cooldown. After releasing the ultimate move, it provides 50% attack speed and returns the remaining 20% of the ultimate move CD. Isn't this just a single item?!"
Doinb's face turned pale. What he was most afraid of was the strong mid laner.
"anything else."
Redmi sliding mouse.
"There can't be anything more perverted than this piece of equipment, right?"
Su Chen had a bad premonition all over his body. He turned his head stiffly and took a closer look. His eyes suddenly became dim.
Equipment: Phantom Dance
Synthesis path: Fanaticism plus Small Demon-drinking Knife
Price: 2600
Provides attributes: +30% attack speed, +25% critical hit rate, +7% movement speed
Passive - Savior's Blade: If your health is about to fall below 30% after taking damage, this item will create a shield for you before that that can absorb up to 280 damage in 5 seconds (cooling time: 90 Second)
Yasuo: League of Legends designer, thank you!

Some people died, but not completely...
