Although he had just reached Master, Lin Cheng also had a better understanding of the top lane ecology of this version of Canyon because all the players in the queue were professional players, high-segment anchors, and passers-by.
He was on vacation before, so he really didn't do much serious research.
Judging from the current rankings, there are many heroes that can be played on the top lane in this version, and Sword Demon is the most super model.
In fact, in the changes in version 14, Sword Demon's late-stage recovery ability was cut off, so it stands to reason that its strength is lower than before.
However, after the durability version, the serious damage effect was greatly reduced, which is equivalent to the sword demon being strengthened.
After several versions of exploration, some players developed a routine for the armor-piercing sword demon.
The Armor-Piercing Sword Demon has a strong early fighting ability, and high damage also means a stronger blood-sucking ability. The durability version of the Sword Demon itself is not so frank and easy to die suddenly in team battles. As long as the three-stage Q can hit multiple people, it will simply drain blood.
Pump.
The biggest problem with the Armor-Piercing Sword Demon is that it cannot hold up in late team fights, but even if this hero is thirsty for blood and has a set of equipment, he will be a target in late team battles. The Sword Demon is the character that snowballs to kill the game in the early and mid-term.
Due to these various factors, Sword Demon has become a T0 top laner in all major servers.
Since Sword Demon is such a super model, all major teams will naturally have to study solutions.
Zeus has been practicing top laner Yongen for a long time, just to prepare for the Sword Demon.
But Yongen is not a hero that is effective for everyone. Except for Zeus, almost no other top laner uses Yongen to fight Sword Demon. Lin Cheng only used it a few times when he encountered Sword Demon.
In fact, Lin Cheng's Qinggang Shadow can defeat Sword Demon, but he is not sure whether his Qinggang Shadow will be released in the World Championship.
I simply grabbed a copy of Yong'en to prepare for emergencies.
It is conceivable that KT's opponent BP will have even more headaches after the World Championship begins.
Lin Cheng's hero pool may become unmanageable.
Sword Girl, Qinggangying opponents have become accustomed to banning them. Now that the strength of the Sword Demon version exceeds the standard, opponents will definitely not dare to let go. Does every team have to ban the top three laners when they encounter KT?
How else can BP do this?
To take a step back, even if the opponent can only BAN Sword Girl + Qinggang Shadow on the blue side, if he chooses to grab Sword Demon, he must face Lin Cheng's Counter.
If Lin Cheng takes out something from behind and hits the sword demon violently, his opponent's BP will be completely stunned.
After becoming Master in one breath, Lin Cheng had already stayed in the training room for 13 hours, including meals, and turned off the computer to get ready to take a rest.
Stand up, stretch, and glance at the Cuzz screen next to you.
Ah!
Brother Cuzz got into it.
This guy RANK really has some skills.
"I'm going to rest first, and you guys should go to bed early."
Cuzz: "It's only 12 o'clock, still early! Wait until I call the master before going to bed."
"Good luck!"
Lin Cheng gave a sincere blessing, slipped back to the room to wash up, then lay on the bed and played with his phone.
By the way, take a look at the news about the finals.
The qualifying competition being held in Mexico is in full swing, and the program results are still sufficient.
Today alone, there are not only 1-9 Teemo appearing, but also abstract team battles of all generations.
EG and BYG had an intensive team battle. In just a few seconds, they frantically used each other's skills for more than a dozen times. All the ultimate skills that could be used were completely used. The only skill that the luxuriously equipped Aphelios had no use from beginning to end was Gust Wind.
With so much power, he just relied on the green knife A to win the team battle.
Covering the ID, Lin Cheng thought it was the brass bureau.
The off-field programs were also very effective, including the big school's "I need to pee", Evi's praise for various facial expressions, and RNG's magical operation of posting victory posters even after losing the game.
The most abstract scene occurred in the post-game interview.
It is the Vietnamese team SGB top laner Hasmed. After the game, he was asked which team he wanted to meet this year.
"What I want most is to meet KT."
"Why?"
"I want to see my dad."
"Who is your father?"
"Cheng!"
Although Lin Cheng has many children and grandchildren who are professional players, this is the first person to call him daddy in an official interview, which is quite abstract.
Then, the North American commentator recognized the Vietnamese top laner as his brother on the spot and also called Lin Cheng daddy.
Now it’s on the hot search again.
Frankly speaking, after seeing this news, Lin Cheng's hand holding the phone was trembling while lying on the bed.
His dream is to hear the little girl at home calling him daddy sweetly, instead of being chased by a bunch of big guys and abstract artists calling him daddy.
Of course, he would be happy if his club teammates called him that.
Take a deep breath and throw the phone aside.
Better sleep!
When I fell asleep, I forgot everything.
In the dream, the child Enxi will call daddy.
······
On October 13, on the third day after arriving in New York, KT finally started the training match they had arranged with JD.com in advance.
Brother Cuzz was in a very sluggish state during today's training match. Everyone was dizzy, with no rhythm and all kinds of outrageous mistakes.
Lin Cheng expressed his understanding.
Yesterday, before he went to bed, Cuzz said he would go to bed after he had sex with the master, but when Lin Cheng woke up, Brother Cuzz was still stuck in the drill.
After the classic promotion, I went to bed, but ended up still standing still at six o'clock in the morning.
However, KT's online players performed well.
Lin Cheng hit the road and penetrated 369.
Toothpaste in the middle may also be stuck, being completely suppressed by Rookie.
In the bottom lane, Hope looks a little confused in front of Mr. Dai.
After several twists and turns in the training match, KT still won successfully.
Of course, the training match itself was just a warm-up, and neither side took it too seriously.
At present, it is mainly based on personal ranking, as well as tactical analysis, and training matches are more for reference.
And just today, after nearly a week of competition, the finals have finally been settled.
The four teams that advanced to the main round were born, namely: DK, RNG, FNC, and EG.
Seeing this result, Lin Cheng was inexplicably relieved.
Fortunately, SGB failed in the play-in round.
No need to watch that Vietnamese top laner come to the main game and call him daddy.
According to the principle of avoiding the same division in the group stage, once SBG breaks through, it can only be assigned to Group A. Lin Cheng doesn't dare to think about what will happen.
The results of the qualifying round were not an upset either.
It's just that one team is more embarrassing.
I am talking about you!
MAD.
The Madrid Lions were eliminated in the knockout round by EG with a score of 3:0, becoming the only team in the four major divisions to be eliminated twice in the playoffs.
The last time a major region suffered a humiliating record in the play-in rounds, they created it. In the S10 World Championship, MAD became the first team from the four major regions to drown in the play-in rounds.
At that time, Lao Gan Daddy stumbled in the play-in round and the LPL audience was forced to get to know a large number of wild card teams, while MAD secretly lost to the Turkish team and was eliminated.
Unexpectedly, only two years later, they would be embarrassed again in the finals.
The European audience has really broken through their defenses.
It can lose to LCK or LPL, but the one EU cannot lose is NA.
MAD has sent EU's face to slap the North American audience again and again, and the European audience has expelled MAD from Europe.
Can't blame the audience either.
What would you think if there was such a team in your region that ran rampant in the region every year to grab tickets to the World Championship, and then went to the World Championship to contribute to the stability of other regions in various humiliating ways?
