572: Accuracy or not is the difference between slaughter and surgery!
The exciting music resounded throughout the venue, and the LED screens behind the player seats on both sides showed the IG group makeup photos after smooth animation special effects switching.
The spotlights on the dome also spread out in all directions, flashing with gorgeous special effects, and finally focused on the center of the stage.
It has to be said that the lighting and stage effects of VG's new venue are much better than those on the 9th floor of Super Brand Plaza - after all, the Shanghai home stadium is rented from someone else's venue, and all facilities cannot be perfect after all.
“Let’s welcome Invictus Gaming!”
Five teenagers wearing pure white team uniforms appeared on the stage. Apart from the IG Taichi team logo and the logo of the Panda Live Sponsor managed by Wang Sicong, there were no other trademarks on their bodies.
"Top laner TheShy, jungler Ning, mid laner Rookie, bottom laner lwx and support Crisp, and head coach Mafa!"
The 2,000 seats at the venue were all occupied, and the vast majority of the audience came to support VG.
However, when they saw the IG players coming on stage, they still gave them a warm welcome.
The VG season documentary gave a lot of scenes to the World Championship sparring team, and fans naturally know how much IG’s contribution is.
In their opinion, if it weren't for the existence of the sparring team, VG might not be able to find a match partner after the 10.20 LPL defeat. In the end, the results of the training games might drag down the competitive state and miss the chance to win the championship!
After all calculations, it is reasonable to share 1/3 of the credit among the sparring groups!
Moreover, the Xiangsong duo who were signed during the transfer period are also members of the sparring team, so now that VG supporters see the IG players on stage, they give them warm applause without thinking.
Lin Weixiang was very proud, and the word "blissful" could not be more appropriate for him with thick and thick eyebrows.
After spending a year in the middle and lower-level teams of the LPL, the wave of cheers he received may not be able to match the momentum of gifts from VG fans today!
Damei feels very high-spirited and regards joining IG as a new starting point for his career.
Liu Qingsong tried his best to act cool, but the camera showed a close-up of his face, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth still revealed his inner emotions.
"Next up is Vici Gaming!"
In the host's loud voice, the stage special effects changed again, exuding a silvery white light that symbolized VG's theme color.
The group makeup photo appeared in front of all the audience, and instantly there was a storm in the stands!
The momentum is so huge, I don’t know how high it is compared to the scale when IG debuted!
VG’s current popularity is definitely worthy of a terrifying sentence!
"Top laner Smeb, jungler Virtue, mid laner Kuro, bottom laner JackeyLove and assistant Caveman, and head coach Homme!"
Everyone in VG lined up and came to the spotlight on the stage, enjoying the cheers from the audience with bright smiles on their faces.
It is still the familiar racing suit jacket, divided into black at the bottom and white at the chest.
The difference is that the number of golden stars has changed from 1 to 2, and they are arranged side by side on the VG team logo on the chest, highlighting the team's double championship honor!
On the other side of the white fabric is a black and red E three-dimensional logo, symbolizing the investor's outstanding status.
"Who will come out on top and win the first victory in the Spring Split is still unknown. Let's find out in the competition!" Ren Dong said in an excited voice.
The lights in the dome dimmed, the players from both teams returned to their seats, and the Haier brothers on the commentary table were eager to warm up before the game.
"The new season brings a new atmosphere. You should have seen VG's new stadium just before the game started. Both the exterior and interior decoration are very beautiful..." Miller was full of praise.
He is a veteran commentator who has accompanied the league since its inception and can truly feel the rapid development of the division.
Five years ago, when the LPL rented a simple venue in Taicang to host the regular season, it still gave away free tickets to college students and provided free round-trip bus transportation. It took a lot of effort to cultivate the first batch of spectators.
Nowadays, home stadiums are popping up everywhere, every game is played in a luxurious venue, and the market is expanding rapidly, which makes Miller sigh with emotion.
Wawa's tone was also full of envy, "That's right, and the venue that VG Club spent a huge amount of money to build is located near Ditan Park. It can be called a prime location in the imperial capital. It can be seen that the team has a lot of money after the introduction of new sponsors!"
Miller nodded, "After all, we have the ability to renew the contracts of all members of the championship team... According to the news posted on the Internet, the final price of VG's lineup will definitely not be lowered unless it is 6000W!"
It’s a sky-high price in 2018!
"In contrast, IG's lineup focuses on an affordable model," said Wawa, who is indeed a master of field control and can bring the topic back on track. "Except for Rookie, who is a long-established veteran, the other four are all in the semi-finals.
As a newcomer, the price is definitely not expensive, and the overall expenditure of the team is not expected to be high..."
Even though the Xiangsong duo also joined the sparring group, they seemed to be prominent figures in the league, but due to their terrible bad luck attributes in the previous year and a half, they almost couldn't find a job!
The two of them signed on IG and together they received a salary of 80W.
Even with the 10% discount, Wang Sicong showed his kindness and saved the money for a bottle of wine, giving each of them an additional salary of 10,000 yuan a month!
Taking into account the rent of the river view house and the salary of the team manager, the IG League of Legends branch has a total investment of 20 million this year.
There is at least twice the gap with VG!
"Although the investment is not particularly large, IG's new lineup shined in the German Cup, almost threatening EDG's dominance of the event. It seems to be very cost-effective. Maybe it can really set off a youth storm this year!" Wawa said to
This has high hopes.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sonorous and powerful metallic sound echoed in every corner of the venue!
"Both sides have entered the BP phase!" Miller cheered up, "VG has the priority to choose the side, choose the blue side for themselves, and send Ryze to the ban position first!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He explained and analyzed along the way, "There is no doubt that this version of Ryze is strong, but there is one unsolvable problem."
"Before the start of the World Championship, W [Rune Imprisonment]'s Ability Power increased greatly. Ryze had been popular for a while in the group stage. However, in the knockout stage, because the overall lineup was too frank, Ryze became popular again.
It was unable to cross the front row to successfully put pressure on the back row, and its functionality was still slightly inferior to that of Galio, so it had to be eliminated from the version."
"But in the 8.1 version currently used in the Spring Split, the changes in rune talents have given Ryze a new lease of life!"
Miller spoke eloquently, "First of all, after the incense burner was weakened, the status of shooters was not as high as in the World Championship, and the intensity of the core output has declined. Therefore, other roles do not have to bear too much functionality. Ryze gradually changed in team battles.
It can also play a good role in platoon fighting..."
"Another point that must be noted is that the strength of tank tanks is also slowly declining, anti-armor has been weakened, and the speed of Sunfire Soldiers pushing the lane has also been greatly slowed down. Furthermore, the current strong-open system is still weak, and many single-belt models have
He acts recklessly online alone, but Ryze’s existence perfectly fits the version environment!”
He took a breath and finished his long speech without affecting the radiant look in his eyes, "Finally, the enhancement that has the greatest impact on Ryze at the moment comes from the rune system!"
"The stopwatch provided by [Perfect Timing] can make the Rune Mage even more powerful!"
The guide will give specific instructions on the runes in a timely manner.
Heroes carrying Perfect Timing will carry a one-time stopwatch with an initial cooldown of 360 seconds at the beginning, which can exert Zhonya's active stasis effect after use.
After the stopwatch is damaged, it can be used a second time to synthesize Zhonya, Resurrection Armor or Gargoyle Stone Plate Armor, and the cooldown of the three completed items will be reduced by 15%.
It can be called a perfect talent, and its strength is ridiculously high!
For Ryze, the stopwatch is of extremely high value.
During the offseason, a high-level Ryze player developed a new gameplay.
Turning on Zhonya when R [Warp Path] guides the reading bar, you can achieve the stasis effect without interrupting the ultimate move!
The total duration of the winding path jump reading is 2 seconds, and the golden body can last for 2.5 seconds!
In other words, as long as Ryze activates R and immediately holds down the golden body, his ultimate move cannot be interrupted!
After this move was developed, Ryze's appearance rate soared!
In the past, many players were always on tenterhooks when using Ryze to split push solo, fearing that the other party would use a control skill to arrest them.
But without a line, Ryze’s effectiveness would be greatly reduced!
It's better now, just click on the [Perfect Timing] talent and use the stopwatch to save your life!
The synthesis fee for subsequent purchases of Zhonya will also be much cheaper, which is simply Ryze’s artifact!
As a result, Ryze's current winning rate has been rising all the way, and he once reached the top of the OP.GG Korean server rankings.
Even if you don’t like to run a national server that is more proficient in chaotic battles, Ryze is still on the list!
"IG is sincere, ban the prince first, and point the finger directly at Brother Xing!" Wawa continued following the BP.
The current version has been finalized, and there are not too many samples that can be referenced in the league. Everyone is not sure about the specific hero priority strength. After banning some supermodel monsters, they started to target the enemy's leading stars.
Hongmi turned around and disabled Broiler's Clockwork and Zoe, while Mafa blocked the two characters Blind Sin and Mantis.
"3Ban jungler!" Wawa did not miss any opportunity to praise Gu Xing, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Brother Xing's intimidation is still there, IG is undoubtedly very jealous of him!"
The camera showed a close-up of Gu Xing. The boy was grinning and laughing loudly, his fair face turning red.
"Guigui, isn't the opponent too targeted?" He was overjoyed, "Can you ban three junglers in the first round?"
The priority of the jungler in this version is not that high - the impact of the overall weakening of the S7 jungle area has not disappeared, and the experience compensation mechanism has been abolished. The current jungler has the weakest overall influence on the situation in the past two years.
IG was stunned to release all their first-round bans in this environment just to restrain Gu Xing, which made him smile in his heart.
"Please don't make a fuss," Kuro replied seriously, "if you wave your ID in the opponent's face, I don't know how many players will be scared out of their wits. If they don't target you, are they going to mess with us?"
"It makes sense." Gu Xing was highly praised.
"Let's choose a hero for Ruixing first," Hongmi looked at Kuro, "You take the yellow chicken."
Li Ruixing agreed without hesitation.
To be fair, the strength of his core is not very high.
But I couldn’t bear it. After the changes, the yellow chicken was too fierce!
"Your task is to lock the broiler online. You don't have to do anything else. Just leave it to the salesperson." Hongmi warned.
He asked Kuro to choose the yellow chicken not entirely because of the hero's strength.
The hero Azir is now pushing the lane very vigorously, and can effectively block the roaming efficiency of the enemy mid laner.
Hongmi intends to redeem his pieces and use BP to try to exchange his low-grade horse Kuro with the enemy's high-grade horse, thereby increasing the team's probability of winning!
Mafa's response was also outstanding. He chose Braum to support Liu Qingsong, and then took out a vampire.
"Maibo, what do you want to use to fight vampires?" Gu Xing slid the mouse wheel, "Captain?"
He thinks there is no suspense about IG’s vampire strategy.
Definitely on the road.
The mid laner Vampire was popular for a while in the S6 Summer Split when Green Armor was released. At that time, Lord Marquis banned this hero for a time.
But now I eat poop!
After the conversion coefficient between passive magic power and health value of vampires changes, pure magic power equipment is obtained.
Of course, facing legal heroes is not as strong as when facing green armor.
In the face of the strong version of the yellow chicken, it is estimated that if it can't withstand a few pokes in the early stage, it will be reduced to residual health. It will be difficult to even last a last hit, let alone lane control!
As long as the team is in their right mind, they will put the vampire on the road after seeing the opponent pick the yellow chicken.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Vampires are very popular in the upper unit at the moment.
One is the existence of [Spell Stealing Blade].
This thing was originally a salary item. After the salary item task was changed in the S7 Summer Split, Spellthief's Blade was abandoned by professional teams because it took too long to fully stack.
However, Riot Games has provided two enhancements in the pre-season version, providing Spellstealing Blade’s built-in magic power and gold coins, and the additional damage-increasing attributes have all been improved!
The result was the opposite.
The AP consumption auxiliary that the designer expected has not returned, and the spell-stealing blade has become a new toy for vampires!
Heroes are originally formed slowly and need more economy.
Pay a salary and put it on the top lane to use melee shorthands. You can get a lot of gold coins after a game and speed up the pace of formation!
Coupled with a stopwatch for perfect timing, top lane vampires are now taking shape at an unimaginable speed. They can often make [Frost Queen's Order] [Landry's Torment] [Zhonya's Hourglass] in about 25 minutes of steady development.
Three piece set!
Song Jinghao saw that IG had selected a vampire that made him feel a little troublesome. After pondering for a moment, he still agreed with Gu Xing's idea.
"Just captain, I have no problem!" Smeb was very arrogant. Although Gangplank would be at a disadvantage when facing vampires, he didn't think he would lose.
Hey, I’m the top laner in a Grand Slam. What kind of champion are you, TheShy?
Can I still be afraid of you, a second-year freshman?
After hearing the permission reply from Hongmi, Gu Xing clicked on the captain's avatar and pressed the OK button.
The doll on the commentary desk was in high spirits.
"The captain of Maibo has something to say. It is definitely his unique skill!"
Miller also echoed loudly, "Back then, Smeb's captain's cannon barrage helped ROX win the first and only championship trophy in team history. In the S7 season, the captain rarely appeared, but today he took off with the east wind of the rune changes.
, it depends on what kind of effect Maibo can produce!"
The rune that helps the captain take off is called [Omen of Stealing].
Like EZ, if the captain wants to trigger this rune, he only needs to hit the enemy hero with Q.
Moreover, Gangplank’s Q can’t move and dodge, so it’s a perfect match with the Stealing Omen!
In addition, the captain himself has also received slight enhancements. The gold coins provided by Q [Gunfire Negotiation] at each level are one more than before, which can appropriately speed up the formation speed.
In terms of the three-piece set's formation stage, he is not much slower than the vampire used by TheShy in this game!
Immediately afterwards, Hongmi selected Verus for Jack, whose strength was still online.
In the third hand, IG got Jess for Broiler to increase the strength of the mid-lane matchup.
It is worth mentioning that the Piltover Second Battalion Commander was also weakened after the end of the S7 World Championship - the serrated dagger and its extended Youmu, Curtain Blade and other fixed armor penetration points were reduced by 2 points, and its fixed armor penetration was reduced by 2 points.
The cooldown of E [Thunder Blow] has been increased, and the fixed damage of Q [Electricity Surge] has been reduced.
Now it's okay to take the middle lane, but if you go to the top lane where the tough guys are piled up, it's a bit out of control.
In the second round of BP, IG continued to target the jungle, sending two heroes, Zac and Rek'Sai, to the blocking position, and then got Pig Girl in the fourth hand.
5Ban jungler grabs the character first!
The audience couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw this.
"IG simply has the words 'aimed at junglers' engraved on their face!" Miller's eyes widened and he looked at the VG hero selection box with curiosity, "It depends on how Brother Xing chooses. The current VG lineup
It is very lacking in front row and control. Prince Duan got Tamu without any problems, and his protection ability is very strong..."
Nowadays, incense burners are not popular, but it does not mean that the protective assistant has withdrawn from the stage of history.
There is no market for long-hand soft assistants, but spring is coming for melee protection assistants!
Just because Fist gave [Sacred Shield] a boost.
Now after the hero is triggered, 2% of the lost health will be restored.
A perfect line-laying artifact!
The short-handed protection auxiliary was originally afraid of being consumed, but now that the shield of the holy object provides milk, their laning strength will immediately rise to the next level!
"It depends on what Brother Xing wants to choose..." The doll hissed and looked at the big screen in disbelief, "What the hell is this?!"
The calm choice of lines echoed throughout the venue.
Precision or not is the difference between slaughter and surgery!
