Chapter 173 I have a champion skin, how about you?
The suppression of the third line and the advantage of vision made the members of the LPL dream team become more courageous as they fought.
On the other hand, the five players in the LCK division are stuck in the quagmire.
The key core of their system lies in whether the Tsar in the middle can have a stable space to develop, and whether Varus can assume the important task of the team's output when the game reaches the mid-term.
Now they can do neither of these things.
Rookie's Zuo Yin played very aggressively after taking advantage in the early stage. The Czar with the comet is indeed very powerful in consumption, but if the cost of consumption is to eat a shooting star that damages and explodes, then how should the faker weigh it?
Maybe he can be bolder and try to avoid Zuo Yin's damage by moving while consuming it, but what if he doesn't move to avoid it?
Can he bear the price he pays?
faker is under a lot of pressure.
Little did he know that Leader An was under greater pressure.
When the All-Star voting results came out, he instinctively resisted.
Leader An is very afraid of the two junglers.
King Ning, and mlxg.
Of these two, one is a reckless man and the other likes to go on hunger strikes.
In terms of playing style, these two men restrained him perfectly.
In addition, Leader An is really not afraid of other junglers in this operation-oriented version.
But he couldn't directly say that he had studied it and found that he couldn't beat it, so he stopped going.
We can only bite the bullet and do it.
This wave of LCK is really a rush.
In this game, Boss An even felt as if even the color of his underwear was being seen.
The pressure caused by zombie guards is only one aspect of it.
The key is that there is still ice left in the LPL team.
Shi Senming is a support player who is very good at playing with his opponent's thoughts.
On the surface, it looks harmless to humans and animals, but in Summoner's Rift, it is full of evil.
When he gets Ice, in addition to consuming and suppressing the enemy in the lane, he also takes great care of the jungle.
Shi Senming often uses the E skill [Eagle Strikes the Sky] to explore the location of Leader An.
This made Head An miserable.
They finally made it to the mid-term stage when they could control map resources by pulling pokes.
However, the initial formation of Zuo Yin caused them to suffer a big loss in front of the Xiaolong Resource Group.
"Pig Girl was soaked by Zuo Yin's [Hypnosis Bubble], and the pig's skin was opened directly. It seemed that no one wanted to block it for Zhangmen An! Zuo Yin's super long-range Q skill directly lowered Pig Girl's blood line by half.
! Oh my god, this damage... Pig girls without much magic resistance can't handle it at all, so the LCK will be forced to let go of this dragon."
In the commentary box, after Miller finished speaking, Wawa followed up and said: "It's still a matter of vision. I found that once the hero Zuo Yin is on the dominant side and takes the initiative in vision... his ability to consume poke is really too strong.
Oh, [Hypnosis Bubble]’s characteristic of increasing the release distance when passing through walls will put opponents without vision in a state of panic at all times.”
"That's right, and his Q skill is too painful when it hits people. At this point in time, Rookie can already blast so much blood from Pig Girl without any equipment. When he has equipment later, he can still
Really? I feel Zuo Yin should be weakened soon."
As time goes by, the situation becomes increasingly unfavorable for the LCK team.
Varus' poke in the mid-term is completely incomparable to Zuo Yin.
LCK tried to use the delaying tactics they are good at to delay the game until the later stage to buy faker enough time to develop.
But this delaying method doesn't work when facing a lineup with a strong snowballing ability like the LPL Dream Team.
You can take whatever you want.
Whenever the LPL gets an opportunity, they will choose to form a group and advance in a wave, with Zuo Yin playing poke on the flank to consume them.
Once poked, the defense tower will basically be undefendable.
It’s not like LCK hasn’t thought about forcing a group start.
But with Ornn, a big killer who is very good in both attack and backhand, they have no advantage in team initiating.
…
Riot Games, headquarters.
The designers were dragged into a meeting by the ghost crab again.
However, the designers at this meeting were able to accept it. Ghost Crab called them here just to let them find the weaknesses of the version from the collision between China and South Korea in the main game and make changes.
But as the competition progressed, all the designers frowned.
"It's a one-sided situation. The five people in the LCK have absolutely no room to fight back in front of the LPL dream team."
One of the designers shook his head and said.
"The Zombie Guard is too powerful. It feels like it needs to be reduced. The duration will be reduced to about 120 seconds."
"Zuo Yin's hero data is a bit supermodel, so it needs to be properly balanced."
"Recently, the appearance rate of Dao Mei in the Korean server has increased. When balancing these data, shall we also weaken Dao Mei?"
The designers were all talking, and you were talking to each other.
"You should know what I want."
The noise from the crowd made the ghost crab more and more irritable.
He interrupted everyone in the discussion and said in a deep voice: "From the end of the World Championship to now, don't you even have a good idea?"
Seeing that the Ghost Crab was angry, the designers present immediately fell silent.
Of course they know what the ghost crab wants.
"We have greatly reduced the presence of AD, boss, didn't you notice? In this game, Shine's bottom lane combination did not benefit the whole team except for its personal suppression ability.
With outstanding performance, the proportion of other positions in this version has increased. I think we have done enough."
A designer spread his hands and said.
"Yes, and I think the main reason why Shine can affect the entire team is his commanding ability. I think if you want to weaken Shine to the greatest extent, boss, you should contact the organizers of the LPL league and ask them to
In the following games, having all teams’ ADs play off the mic is the biggest weakening I can think of for Shine’s players.”
After another designer finished speaking, bursts of laughter erupted from the scene.
The ghost crab's face turned darker.
The reason why Riot Games held this All-Star Game in the form of a main game is to use the pressure of the main game to force Li Luo to show some of his recent game understanding and proficiency in version heroes.
But Li Luo did this.
The female gun is the same for everyone. It is enough to grasp the opportunity to use amplified moves in team battles.
He couldn't tell anything at all from this event.
"LCK is also a bunch of trash."
Ghost Crab cursed secretly in his heart.
Although it was the main game, everyone in the LPL was chatting and laughing and playing very relaxedly, as if there was no pressure at all.
Now Ghost Crab can only hope that the LCK can come up with something enough to put the LPL under pressure in the next two games.
However, the ghost crab is destined to be disappointed.
Mainly...there are no more two in the LCK.
In the first game, when there was a huge gap between the two sides in terms of consumption and teamfight collision, the LPL quickly crushed the LCK like a bulldozer.
When the two sides came to the second game, after the LCK selected Zuo Yin mid laner, Rookie locked Yasuo in seconds.
Rookie doesn't have to worry about Yasuo.
Everyone in the LPL will not feel any burden at all.
As for the problem of the chopper team, it is destined to disappear when 957 takes out the top laner Annie.
Annie Li Luo is also quite emotional about 957's single player.
In his impression, in the All-Star Game before his rebirth, 957 used top laner Annie to perfectly suppress Uvee's Gnar during the laning phase.
At the same time, in the team battle, 957’s Annie also performed very well.
The enlightenment type [Unsealed Secrets] became 957's first choice talent when playing Annie, and then 957 selected Hex Flash.
Although Annie's basic attack projectile is relatively slow, it is better than the normal attack distance.
Annie's shooting range is one of the best among all mage heroes.
Therefore, in the second game between the two sides, although uvee got a hero like Ornn who can force team-starting, Ornn's team-starting methods did not seem to be that effective when facing the simple and crude Annie.
Especially in team fights.
Under normal circumstances, when Ornn calls the sheep, his teammates will all press in, preparing to enter the field for output in conjunction with Ornn's ultimate move.
But with 957's Annie, as long as Ornn calls the sheep, 957 will stand on the edge of the team, using his [Intimidation Flow] to force the LCK players away from them.
uvee is embarrassed.
This leaves little room for Ornn to find a chance.
If Yasuo doesn't let go of the wind wall, he won't be able to start a group first.
Even if Yasuo releases the wind wall, his teammates will not be able to keep up with the output because of Annie.
From the perspective of the lineup, in the second game of the LCK team, except for the auxiliary position of the Bull Head, the other four heroes are exactly the same as the first hero of the LPL Dream Team.
They are all top laner Aoun, jungler Prince, mid laner Zuo Yin, and AD female gunner.
The second set lineup of the LPL team is Annie in the top lane, Zach in the jungle, Yasuo in the mid lane, and the bottom lane duo is Varus and Tahm Kench.
But the effect the LCK produced when they got this lineup was far inferior to the effect they produced in the last one in the LPL.
LCK may not have considered this at all.
They cared so much about this game that they were restrained in BP.
It might be better if they really treat this game as an entertainment game.
However, the reality is that there is no if.
During the tug-of-war between the two sides, Xiao Ming's Tahm Kench used his ultimate move to bring King Ning's Zac behind everyone in the LCK. An unexpected wave of back-up teamfights followed Yasuo's entry into the field, shattering the LCK's dream of revenge like a torrent.
2 to 0, crisp and clear.
For the vast majority of spectators, this game is just fun.
But for the viewers in the LCK region, it's completely different.
"What are you fighting for...Everyone except Faker should swim back."
"Haha, faker's performance is just fine. He was almost killed by Rookie in the first game. In the second game, Zuo Yin didn't have room to perform because of Yasuo, right?"
"I don't know what the lineup is. I only know that losing the game is an excuse."
"This seems to be a fighting version. The fists are too much, right? Only those reckless people in the LPL region like to fight all the time without paying attention to tactics."
"I can see that the players' faces are not very good. They feel like they are not accustomed to the local environment. Looking at the daily photos posted by the team, there are not even kimchi in the United States. There is nothing delicious."
"It doesn't matter. Sometimes losing the game is not a bad thing. We still have to support them. We have been invincible for too long and we need to settle down. I forgot that SKT suffered a misfortune in S4, but the king returned in S5.
? I hope everyone will give Faker more support and opportunities. In next year’s S8 season, our SKT will definitely achieve greater glory!"
…
The semifinals of the All-Star Game have come to an end, but for the audience, the main game is basically over.
In the end, the LMS and LPL dream teams met for the finals. However, the two teams did not show off like they did when they faced the Korean team. Instead, they each came up with some very effective heroes, and the players from both sides competed with each other.
The LMS division still has a relatively large gap with the LPL in terms of hard power, and was eventually easily taken away by the LPL with a score of 3-0.
But when Wave 5 of this final ended, the audience gave both sides enough applause at the same time.
After shaking hands with smiles on their faces, the contestants on both sides went to the center of the stage one after another and waved to greet the audience.
Only the Korean team injured the world reached.
Of course, my fists were also quite injured.
For the audience, the most exciting part of this All-Star Game is the final showdown of the solo game.
Li Luo successfully advanced to the finals with his terrifying pulling ability and the sea of heroes.
The opponent was Rookie, who defeated Plzen in the semifinals.
The collision between old teammates, the program effect is really full of excitement.
In this solo, one of the two sides played an AP hero, and the other played an AD hero. Both of them demonstrated their personal laning abilities to the fullest.
In the final solo showdown, Li Luo narrowly defeated Rookie with a score of 2-1 and won soloking!
Although in the eyes of the public players, a solo solo is nothing.
But this soloing is completely different when it comes to Li Luo.
After all, Li Luo already won the 2017 LPL Summer Championship at this time.
2017 Global Finals Champion.
With these two championships as a foundation, this soloking honor is undoubtedly a recognition of Li Luo's personal ability.
The icing on the cake belongs to yes.
When the All-Star Game came to an end in the United States, domestic...
Magic City.
In a cold drink shop that not many people visited, Meiko and Baolan were sitting together, both holding a glass of smoothie and sipping on it.
It was mid-December, and although the weather in Shanghai was not very cold, it had already cooled down.
But the two of them still chose cold drinks like smoothies.
"You have watched All-Stars, right? I feel that Shi Senming and Luo Ge's cooperation is very good. Their styles match well."
Meiko suddenly said.
"Well, I saw it."
Bao Lan's movements paused slightly, and then continued to suck.
"Looking at it this way, I'm quite lucky. Although I'm not as clever as Shi Senming, at least our game styles are similar. Alas, I'll have to ask Shi Senming to treat me to dinner when he comes back, and I can learn from him about the game.
Experience.”
When Meiko said this, she glanced at Baolan again. Seeing that the latter still looked untroubled, she smiled evilly and said, "How is it? Are you envious?"
Baolan glanced at him and said faintly: "Although this All-Star Game looks like an entertainment game, Riot Games announced it is the main game. In other words, Shi Senming is the second player to compete in international competitions with Luo Ge. As for
Me...Brother Luo and I have championship skins, or Xia Luo, what should I envy?"
Seeing that Meiko's expression gradually became uncomfortable, Baolan showed a smile at the corner of her mouth: "What about you?"
"And you?"
"And you?!"
This sentence made Meiko feel like an arrow had been shot in her chest.
