There was a brief silence in the room.
a long time,
"The Green Dragon Sword and Phantom Dance have been greatly strengthened. In the future games, warriors and single belts will definitely be the main focus!"
Su Chen looked solemn and said, "In terms of teams that can play a one-way system, among our four teams, only IG can do it, but LCK..."
When thinking of this, everyone's heart sank to the bottom.
If LPL is rich in AD, then today's LCK is the prosperous age of top laners!
LPL has produced top shooters such as Smile, Nami, Uzi, Smlz, Iboy, JKL, etc. who are well-known in the league.
But there are even more top top laners in LCK!
SKT’s Teacher Ohmu, SSG’s Looper, ROX’s Semb, and even Marin, Duke, Cuvee, Kill, Huni…
The top laners, etc., are all using the single-band system on the world stage, which has caused the LPL to suffer a lot.
Just the four LCK teams competing this year,
KZ's Khan, KT's Semb, and AFS's Kill, it can be said that except for SKT's Untara'U Huang', the other three all had the world's number one top laner in their peak years.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the three LPL teams that mainly focus on the bottom lane.
“It doesn’t have to be a one-belt system.”
Hongmi pondered for a long time and noticed something strange, "If the top lane is dominated by single-band heroes such as Yasuo or weapons, then the jungler and support will inevitably choose tanks to increase the team's front-row tankiness!"
"As a result, we will inevitably lose the early game rhythm. If LCK beats us and we really do this, it will be good news."
As the starting point of a team's early and mid-game rhythm, Nosuke's importance is irreplaceable.
As Hongmi said,
If the LCK team is really determined to play solo with reminders, the jungler will have to supplement heroes like Pig Girl, and the support will also have to supplement Braum and Titan's tanks, which will inevitably affect the rhythm of the early laning.
Once Su Chen gains the advantage in the jungle, anyone in the LCK top lane who dares to press will die!
"So, the version changes won't have a big impact on us?"
Doinb breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face regained its smile.
"Wrong, big!"
Hongmi looked straight at him, "You may not be able to play solo on the top lane, but that's not necessarily the case in the middle lane!"
"Uh...? Hmm!!!"
Doinb is clear at the first touch, and even the nostrils are dilating in fear.
"Coach, are you saying that the warrior-type mid laner will become the current version of T1?"
Aguang also opened his mouth wide.
"That's right."
Hongmi nodded heavily, "The enhancement of equipment such as Phantom Object and Retroactive Blade can completely allow warriors to be sent out in the middle. In the later stage, the four side belts can play a side role. Whether they encounter mages or tanks, they are basically invincible in a single line. The presence!"
"Who will take care of the missing mage damage? Don't we have to play tanks on the road?"
Doin looked puzzled.
At this time,
Hongmi suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Chen, "Do you still remember RNG's Yasuo and Niutou bottom lane system in the Spring Split?"
"Coach, what do you mean..."
Su Chen clapped his legs and lost his voice: "The bottom lane is going to become a laning stage for mages?!"
"Um."
Hongmi nodded slowly.
Yeah,
The fundamental meaning of strengthening the warrior's equipment is to contain the wizard's equipment.
In the fight between gods, the shooter's position is more embarrassing.
For example, Yasuo, who can produce Phantom Dancer, or Syndra and Zoe, who can produce Luden, only need to combine the first piece of equipment to have preliminary combat power to participate in team battles.
In sharp contrast, the shooter's equipment still requires a three-piece set to join a group to deal damage.
Even though RW has the famous 'Marco's three-step' tactic, it operates to push towers and quickly increase the shooter's economy.
But what's the use of rolling more? ?
For warriors who can hit two items with one item, or even shooters with one and a half items who can single-kill three items, there is no point in rolling more.
When the intercontinental competition officially adopts the new version, the ecological environment of each league will inevitably undergo huge changes.
"Mage bot lane...Brother Ma, can you do it?"
The eyes of Su Chen and others all focused on the old thief Sima.
"Won't!"
The old thief Sima said bluntly, with obvious disgust in his tone, "I'm not afraid of those mages or warriors walking away!"
As a traditional shooter player, he has his own spirit and pride.
No matter how strong the warrior is, no matter how high the mage's burst is, so what?
I just need to prevent them from touching me during the team battle, right?
And he is not the only shooter with this kind of mentality.
…
――RNG training room
After the version update, the Royal players also suffered a lot.
Especially the ecological environment of the upper and lower roads,
In the usual ranking, the top picks are Sword Girl, Weapon, Sword Girl, and Sword Demon, which makes the Emperor miserable.
The bottom lane is even more outrageous, officially entering hodgepodge mode.
The classic combinations of Yasuo and Taurus, or Raven and Leona, Syndra and Bomberman...
Anyway, all kinds of weird heroes appear all the time, and the most outrageous thing is that the winning rate is extremely high.
This is quite disgusting to the puppy.
"Play a mage again, play a mage again?!"
"Die to me!!!"
Along with his roars,
After successfully developing a three-piece set of puppies, he still relied on his strong personal strength to slaughter those bottom lane combinations that annoyed him and won the game.
at the same time,
"Stop, stop, stop. These days, our training results have remained at around 60%, which is not very optimistic."
Coach Hart, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the information in his hand worriedly.
A 60% winning rate is still a good record for other teams, but RNG, as the top team recognized before the game, only achieved a 60% winning rate, which is obviously not enough.
"Puppy, I believe you have also discovered that all teams are choosing unconventional bottom lanes when facing us, you..."
"I don't want to play a mage!"
Before Hart could finish speaking, Puppy interrupted in a strong tone, "I can accept the pressure of using shooters from the bottom lane, but I will never play the mage!"
"Coach, can't you see that even if those teams use mage heroes to play the bottom lane, am I ever at a disadvantage?"
"this…"
The words of the puppy indeed left Hart speechless.
It seems so,
No matter how strong the opponent chooses to choose the bottom lane combination, Xiaowu and Xiao Ming can always have a laning advantage.
But there is a serious problem facing RNG.
I just can’t bear the pressure on the road!
No matter how much you say that all living beings are equal to the emperor, you can't do it to the extent of ignoring the version.
Even though he was using his favorite Ornn, when facing the LCK team, he was still beaten black and blue. In about 10 minutes on the road, he was pushed to a tower alone. Who can withstand this?
"Coach, we really don't need to change our bottom lane. Furthermore, even if we really need to change, do you want a puppy to play Yasuo or Sword Princess?"
Xiao Ming kills the conversation with one sentence.
When I think of this horrifying scene,
Xiaohu and others all trembled, shaking their heads like a rattle, "It's really not necessary!"
"If a warrior can't do it, a mage can do it, right?"
Hart said earnestly: "The main reason for losing the training match now is that the team focused too many resources on the bottom lane in the early stage, and it was difficult for us to exert our strength before the three-piece set."
"If puppies don't fight mages, we will blindly double-team and invade the bottom lane, and it will be difficult to obtain short-term gains."
"But mages are different. After getting a kill, they can quickly acquire powerful combat effectiveness. This is something that shooters cannot match."
"As I said, I can accept that the tactics are tilted toward the middle and upper levels."
Puppy vows to defend the glory of traditional AD.
"It's not impossible to choose a shooter with strong suppression power, so that the bottom lane of Xiaowu and Shi Senming will still focus on suppression, but this time, the purpose of choosing a shooter is to delay the development of the mid-to-upper team.
Mala Xiangguo took over the conversation, "As for Yan Junze not being able to play warriors and mages, let's just give it a try. He has played both mid lane and top lane. There are probably not many players in the league who have risen higher than him in the hero pool. .”
"Hehe, you have a good sense."
He gave a thumbs up gesture and smiled proudly, "I'm not bragging. When it comes to the sea of heroes, I am the true god of the alliance!"
"Then let's do this for now."
Hart was moved, "During this period, Xiaohu, you and your posture, practice more with heroes who can carry, do you understand?"
"Promise to complete the mission!"
Xiaohu, who has not lost his spirit, is in high spirits.
His plane, Ryze, is already thirsty!
…
Time flies and it’s July 2nd in a blink of an eye.
The pure sky gradually turned into a touch of ink, the sun set, and night fell.
Outside Dalian Stadium,
The crowd was loud, the lights were bright, and the excited audience poured into the venue.
The long-awaited intercontinental competition has officially begun!
The officials have also scheduled six games today.
The first seven points are:
The mid-season championship team 'RNG' comes to face off against the lone wolf 'FW' in the sunset of the LMS division!
It was a satisfactory arrangement. It was just a Wanwan team. From the players' point of view, it was purely a point giveaway.
The next five games were also very popular.
IG plays M17,
EDG fights AFS
KT beats MAD
M17 beats SKT
RW beats KT
Especially the last confrontation between RW and KT,
The showdown between 'Score', who is known as the director of Korea's factory, and 'Xin Huo', a disciple of Ming Kai, is a match that attracts a lot of attention.
The live broadcast room was also crowded with viewers, and its popularity exceeded 10 million in the blink of an eye.
"Welcome everyone to watch the 2018 Intercontinental Championship. I will be the commentator today. Remember."
"Hello everyone, I'm Rita."
Remember the children's suit version, the gorgeous and colorful vase Rita.
on the contrary,
Today's guest welcomes the retired top laner "Shenchao" from the old royal family to serve as the commentator!
As the first-generation Crocodile King, his strength is understandable.
In the S3 World Championship, even the invincible SKT must ban Crocodile every time and dare not rashly let Shenchao.
"Before the game starts, let's take a look at version 8.13 and see what updates there are."
As he said this, a version change appeared on the big screen in the venue.
Big changes have been made to heroes:
In terms of enhancements: the Barbarian King's E cooldown is reduced, the Rat's E damage is increased, the Prince's E cooldown is reduced, the barrel's W cooldown is reduced, and Kindred's damage is increased.
Except for the prince, the other enhanced heroes have not been on the battlefield for a long time, so they are very useless.
But when it comes to weakened heroes, it can be regarded as a knife in rng's heart.
Sword Girl's passive is weakened, Lucian's growth and attack speed are weakened, the damage of the ultimate move to minions is weakened, and there will be Zoe, Gem, Ornn, Alchemy...
Each of them is considered a commonly used hero in RNG games, especially the last three.
Royal fans are very dissatisfied. Apart from rng, who is often used by this team, which team is playing now?
No matter how targeted you are, you can't target it so obviously! !
I don’t know how many times the official blog has been washed away.
Even designers overseas were scolded by fans who had circumvented the wall.
This also led to the frustrated designer using the excuse of updating the bug to make two more improvements.
In terms of talents: the unsealed secret book is weakened, and the sheep knife is weakened, which can be said to be fatal.
Fans of the royal family were also dumbfounded.
"Okay, without further ado, both players are ready. Let's take a look at the BP of both sides."
at this time,
Su Chen and his team were in a huge room, following the players from EDG and IG, talking and laughing as they watched the first game of the day.
In their opinion, isn't it easy for RNG to abuse a FW?
It is also worth mentioning that,
RNG's starting lineup today is still the regular starting five.
Top laner: Letme, jungler Kasa, mid laner Xiaohu, and shooting assistant Minggou.
Spicy hot pot and posture still serve as substitutes.
…
Both sides throw points,
RNG was lucky. They came to the blue side and banned the first three moves: Crow, Bomber and Pig Girl.
Flash Wolves had no competition pressure and took their time banning: Zoe, Rakan and Xayah.
"RNG helped Xiaohu grab the clockwork first. It seems that he is in the late stage."
I remember saying in surprise: "Flash Wolf is also very stable. Knowing Kasa's starting lineup, he can instantly lock down Scorpion and Vampire."
"Junze, take the captain. Whether you are fighting vampires or tanks, you are worthy."
"Coach, I feel... I haven't practiced well enough..."
Let the emperor hesitate.
"Be more confident. I see you have been practicing for several days, so there must be no problem."
Hart leaned down with a smile and took the initiative to help Rang Di click the mouse to select a hero, and then patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, "Come on, young man, Mimi Dan will be your stepping stone."
"I'm afraid that I will become a whetstone!"
The emperor wanted to cry without tears.
He has been planning a lot these days and has almost played forty games of Captain, but he still doesn't feel comfortable with it.
The barrels are raw, the blood is raw, and the vegetables are smelly.
Emperor Rang was really desperate.
He felt that the hero Captain was his lifelong enemy.
at the same time,
Both sides come and go, and the lineup selection is completed:
Blue square VS red square
Top laner: Captain VS Mundo
Jungler: Barrel VS Scorpion
Mid laner: Clockwork VS Vampire
Shooter: Varus VS Tetsuo
Auxiliary: Titan VS Bullhead.
No one thought of it,
In the first game of the intercontinental competition, the Flash Wolves team from the LMS division has already come up with the classic S5 Tetsuo and Niutou bottom lane combination!
——In the lounge,
"Xiang Guo, what's going on with you guys? You haven't even fully understood the version yet, right?"
Seeing the old-fashioned lineup of the royal family, Su Chen touched the spicy hot pot next to him with his elbow.
"What version does it take to fight Flash Wolf? Can't it be done with just one hand?"
Malaxiang Guo said nonchalantly: "Look, today I will let you know what it means that there is no forever powerful version, only a forever powerful summoner!"
"Are you pretending to be your sister?"
Su Chen yelled back angrily.
The old thief Sima was already watching the game with all his concentration.
He hopes from the bottom of his heart that the puppy can win the game, thus proving that our traditional AD will never be a slave!
As for the mage bottom lane?
Whoever plays is the dog!
…
…
…
Some people died, but not completely...
