May 1st, the second day after the entire KT team arrived in Busan.
The base equipment was flown to the hotel last night. Lin Cheng came to the training room at 9:30 and found that he was the last one to arrive.
Mr. Dai and Rascal have already started playing ranked games, while the others are eating the breakfast brought by Sister Sheng Xi.
"What's going on? Do you want it so early? Today is International Labor Day."
Lin Cheng casually picked up the sandwich and said, "Why are you so diligent, Lao Dai? You are working hard so early in the morning."
Mr. Dai just started the game and replied casually: "I haven't played LOL for several days. I feel a bit unfamiliar. I want to get used to it as soon as possible."
Rascal: “After a month off, it’s time to relax at work.”
"Look at everyone's awareness!"
Seeing Lin Cheng shrugging disapprovingly, Chi Shengxi took a sip of coffee with a smile, "Even Qianxi got up early today, but you are the only one who doesn't take work seriously."
"The purpose of my work is very simple."
Lin Cheng winked at Kang Dongxun, "I learned from the coach, arrive late and leave early, and take a break in between. This is life! Otherwise, how tiring would it be to live?"
"Ahem!"
Mr. Kang was chewing bread and almost choked.
"Don't frame me. When these words came to Representative An's ears, he thought I was fishing for money at work. The work content of coaches is different from that of players. You call it arriving late and leaving early, but I call it flexible adjustment."
Brother A echoed from the side: "After setting up the training tasks, you don't need to be watched by the coach in the morning and evening. We usually discuss tactics and analyze data. It is also very tiring."
"So! Lin Cheng is the only one who is truly lazy."
Chi Shengxi complained: "And this guy always makes his laziness look fresh and refined."
Lin Cheng gnawed on the sandwich and his eyes widened.
Call him lazy, and he admits it.
But why do you think he is the only one who is lazy?
Isn't that guy Zhao Qianxi much lazier than him?
After a month off, he still played LOL.
Zhao Qianxi didn't have any ranking records for a whole month. Is this called diligent?
But obviously, no one thought there was anything wrong with Chi Shengxi's words.
Mr. Kang patted Lin Cheng on the shoulder, "Forget it about normal times. MSI, please be more diligent these days."
“What’s the use of being diligent?”
Lin Cheng tried hard to swallow the sandwich, "If you are diligent and useful, all the cows in the countryside will be prosperous... No! Now the cows don't live in the countryside, they live in staff dormitories."
Beryl hid aside and snickered.
Obviously, the heroes see the same thing.
Mr. Dai: "Tch! Do you think anyone has a talent like yours? We train hard to increase our self-esteem. As we get older, we have to work harder to maintain our condition."
Lin Cheng was very happy: "Are you praising me? Thank you."
Mr. Dai: "·····"
This guy always misses the point when he listens to others.
Chi Shengxi didn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Then everyone else started to laugh too.
Lin Cheng's character is really fun, he can always find good points in others' comments, and he never seems to be depressed in life.
After breakfast, Lin Cheng first studied the changes in the new version.
The Korean server has just been updated to version 8, and this is also the version used in the MSI competition.
Riot Games continued its usual style. Before the competition, it first cut off the most popular heroes some time ago, and forcibly changed the game ecology to allow each team to adapt to the version.
The previously fiery Jinx has been weakened again.
In this version, Jinx's initial health has been cut by 50 points again.
As a core AD that is on par with Aphelios in the Spring Split, Jinx’s natural base HP is 100 points higher than that of Aphelios. It is indeed a bit excessive. In addition, the designer of the previous version increased the mana consumption of fish bones in the early stage.
X's early abilities have been further weakened.
This is also Riot's idea for big-core AD: Since big-core AD is strong in the late stage, focus on laning ability in the early stage and cut it hard. Anyway, it won't make you too comfortable in the early stage.
In addition, the CD of Xayah's Q skill at full level has been increased by two seconds.
The increase of these two seconds has a huge impact, and the fist is clearly aimed at Kasumi's late-stage Poke ability.
Looking at other competitions after the LCK finals, Armor-Piercing Xayah's priority is even higher than the two core ADs.
Armor-Piercing Xayah is very capable of laning in the early stage. When the equipment is formed, it not only has abnormal Poke damage, but the existence of the W skill also makes Armor-Piercing Xayah teamfights break out equally well.
Coupled with the self-protection and barb control of the ultimate move, the only problem with this hero is that he is too slow to tank.
However, Critical Strike Xayah is also not very fast at tanking, and her armor-piercing leakage equipment has completely occupied Critical Strike Xayah's living space. At that time, Lin Cheng even made a special post to complain about this matter.
There is nothing like AD Soul!
Since the rise of armor-piercing Xayah, the Xayahs I encountered in the rankings all started with QE combos. A good crit on AD turned into a Diudiu monster.
The designer obviously had the same idea as Lin Cheng, thinking that Xia, a hero who took the armor-piercing route, was too brainless and had super strength, so he decisively took action to target her before MSI started.
These two adjustments to the bottom lane will obviously have a huge impact on MSI.
Because in each division of the playoffs, Zeli is basically in the BAN position, followed by Lu Xia, Jinx, and Aphelios.
Zeli has been cut in several versions before, and the serious consequences for each of the brothers will inevitably lead to a major change in the bot lane ecology.
In addition, Poppy has received an epic level of enhancement.
The ultimate knock-up time is increased, the charge release speed is accelerated and the hammer-flying distance becomes longer, and the CD of W skill Firm Style is reduced at all levels.
Mr. Kang was ecstatic.
Poppy is a rare functional hero in Lin Cheng's hero pool. Poppy is too weak to enter the game. This enhancement is actually an enhancement to KT's counterattack system.
In addition, there are still many adjustments to Zero Zero Total, and KT needs to confirm its understanding of the version step by step in subsequent training matches with other teams.
Free Rank practiced for a long time, and KT made appointments with G2 and EG for training matches.
The results of the training match were okay, but the players made a lot of mistakes, probably due to their raw skills, and KT did not show a crushing attitude when facing the European and American competition.
After all, the LCK is the first region to finish the spring split. Lin Cheng and his teammates actually took nearly a month off, and there were many commercial activities in between without high-intensity training to maintain their condition.
Then, the big brothers in Europe and the United States began to become optimistic.
On the day after the training match against KT, G2 mid laner posted on Twitter: Brothers, I just finished the training match against KT today and lost! (Holding a rose)
BB boy replied: We lost! But I feel that KT is not invincible (holding roses)
Some fans asked: Is there hope for EU this year?
Xiaoyang: I won’t know until I play RNG. There is still hope.
Although he said he lost the training match, Xiaoyang showed a hint of excitement in every word. The audience understood that G2's result against KT in the training match was not that bad.
On May 2nd, after EG played a training match with KT.
EG’s top laner Da Mu excitedly posted:
I’m 50-50 with God!
This time, the audience will not be able to deal with it.
How much money can be gained from KT training games?
It actually gives European and American guys some confidence!
Damu actually dared to clamor for a 50-50 split with Brother Chengzi?
