Chapter 198: The strength is set back three years!
"Nie! Finally won!"
The moment the base exploded, Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief.
In the eyes of the audience, this was a complete victory for the EDG team.
But only the players involved know clearly that a wave of 3 does not actually explain the strength of the two teams.
At least so far, EDG has lost more than IG in training matches with the IG team. Being able to win today only shows that they did much better than IG today.
"Lie down to win, lie down twice in a row."
Jin Gong twisted his neck. After Xiaotian stood up, he also stood up and put his arm on Xiaotian's shoulders with a smile.
This arm seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Xiaotian, who was originally flexible, was instantly restrained and reached out to grab Jin Gong's arm: "Danding, Danding, you have eaten a lot of my stone men today."
"You two, stop making trouble and go shake hands."
Meiko stretched out. Nineteen consecutive wins gave Meiko an unreal feeling.
Although EDG has always performed very well in domestic competitions before.
But the reason why EDG can always win is based on its tactical superiority.
EDG has never been able to overwhelm other teams in terms of individual player abilities.
It is precisely because of this that in the past, EDG would often overturn after winning several games in a row. After adjusting through Abramovich's tactics, they would start the next round of winning streak.
From the beginning of the spring split to now, Meiko can clearly feel that his team's ability to adjust is much stronger than before. Even if they lose a small game, they can use the short intermission to quickly adjust and complete a counterattack.
Overall, the spring regular season is undoubtedly smooth sailing.
The EDG team walked to the IG team battle seat in response to the cheers from the scene.
Everyone at IG is packing up peripherals at this time.
When people from EDG came over, everyone said hello.
Li Luo gave Theshy a hug, then said with a smile: "Come on for the playoffs."
"no problem."
The shy gave a thumbs up.
The shy has always had a good mentality, and he will not lose his face just because of a regular season loss.
"Brother Luo, you are too harsh."
Prince Ning didn't like hugs, so he chose to hit Li Luo with his fist.
"You're a little bit picky today, young man."
When Li Luo faced Prince Ning, he teased him unceremoniously.
"Those who are waiting for the finals, I will definitely come back to the finals."
King Ning began to raise the flag.
"Then come on."
Li Luo shrugged.
Some of IG’s problems today are still old problems.
It's okay to beat other teams with this old habit.
But if you encounter the RNG team... it's not easy to say.
Especially Jakeylove's personal stability, in Li Luo's opinion, Jakeylove has not yet grown to a complete form at this time.
In advantageous games, Jakeylove can give the audience the feeling that he has perfectly integrated into the team.
But once we reach a disadvantageous situation, the problem becomes apparent.
IG has won 18 consecutive victories in the regular season of the Spring Split.
There are only a handful of small games lost.
Because of this, IG’s problems were not particularly obvious.
But today's defeat in the game against EDG will probably be seen by some interested teams.
This may be a troublesome thing for IG.
You know, according to the playoff schedule, the East and West will have separate knockout rounds.
And it's a single-elimination knockout format.
This means that as long as they lose one of the 5 waves, this team's spring split journey will come to an end.
For IG, they need more games to run in and train.
The effect of this in training games will not be very good. At the playoff stage, any team that breaks into the playoffs will not expose too much in training games.
So during this period, even if you win all the training matches, it doesn't mean anything.
Therefore, in theory, the more teams play in the playoffs, the faster they will improve.
IG and EDG are ranked first in their respective half districts.
This means that both teams will assume the task of "defending".
They only need a wave of 5 to advance to the finals.
This is the advantage given by regular season rankings.
They can judge their opponent's strength and tactical preparations through Wave 5 before the playoffs.
It would be best if the two teams in front are of similar strength, so that these teams will inevitably expose some of their underdogs before meeting them.
But once there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the defender can easily be overthrown.
No matter how many consecutive wins there are in the regular season, as long as they are eliminated in the playoffs, it will become a joke.
This is a problem IG needs to face.
It is also a problem that EDG has to face.
IG can at least learn from their defeat in this game.
But EDG...because of their winning streak, it may be difficult for them to discover their own flaws and areas that need to be adjusted.
Fortunately, EDG's coaching staff is relatively strong, and if you study carefully, you can still find clues.
After shaking hands and hugging Rookie, Jakeylove, and Baolan one by one, everyone from EDG came to the center of the stage, bowed in thanks, and went to pack up their peripherals.
As expected, after the final battle, Li Luo received a warm invitation from the organizer, inviting him to be interviewed.
Li Luo did not refuse. This was not the first time he had been interviewed during the Spring Split. Counting the many interviews he had done last year, he had become accustomed to it as the interviews became more frequent.
Interview booth.
"Hello, audience friends, I am the host Yu Shuang. I am very happy to invite Shine, a player from the EDG team, to be interviewed by us. Come and say hello to everyone?"
The generous Yu Shuang handed the microphone to Li Luo with a smile.
"Hello everyone, I'm EDG's ade."
"First of all, congratulations to EDG for successfully ending the spring regular season with 19 consecutive victories. Did you ever think that today's battle of the century with IG would end with 2-0?"
Yu Shuang blinked and said.
Li Luo pondered for two seconds: "Actually, I have thought about it. After all, we are teammates who have won championships together. I know their habits quite well, especially King Ning. He is a king in front of me.
I want to take it off."
There were bursts of laughter at the scene.
IG fans and EDG fans who were insulting each other on the Internet stopped abruptly after hearing Li Luo's words.
They are not blind.
Of course, I saw the familiarity between the two players when they interacted after the game.
Although there are some brainstem cramps and a series of workplace conspiracy theories such as "superficial brothers acting for face", at least the majority of the audience is relatively sober.
Ning Wang, who returned to the backstage lounge, was a little agitated after hearing Li Luo's words: "Brother Luo started a group with only me, which is not authentic. I have to go to the EDG base to find him later and ask him to treat me to a meal to make up for my injury."
’s soul.”
"Then Brother Luo will ask you to eat in the canteen of their base..."
Baolan's faint words made Prince Ning choke up.
"Is EDG's cafeteria that scary?"
Rookie is puzzled.
King Ning and Bao Lan gave Rookie a "you're too young" look.
"Brother Luo was already quite thin, but he is even thinner this time. This shows..."
Jakeylove also lamented: “Our IG’s food is better.”
Prince Ning sneered at this: "Ah, yes, yes, you have come full circle recently, but I haven't seen you eat at the base a few times? Just put those hamburgers every day, eat more, you will be fat.
."
"It's not because I love to eat, it's mainly because I feel like I'm really going to gain weight. As a saying goes, how can you be arry if you don't gain weight?"
Jakeylove smiled to himself when he said this.
He was very dissatisfied with his performance today.
…
At the interview table.
Yu Shuang continued to ask questions.
"Brother Luo, can you talk about the issue about Kai'Sa's outfit? We can see that in the match that just ended, you chose to make Kai'Sa with a semi-AP style. Does this choice represent the mainstream appearance of Kai'Sa in the current version?
Pretending?"
Li Luo shook his head slightly when he heard this: "This kind of outfit can only be played in a specific lineup. It's better not to touch it in rank for now. When will the designer strengthen the W feeling and try to use it as a mainstream outfit?
Way."
Speaking of this, Li Luo paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "If the designer is watching, I hope to hear the opinions of our ad players. This version of ad is a bit weak. Can it be strengthened?"
Li Luo's words were unanimously recognized by countless ad players.
The arena and ranking are always two different worlds.
The current version of AD is sufficiently dominant on the field.
But it doesn't mean that he is very strong in rank.
On the contrary, this version of adk has gradually become difficult to use.
Major changes to rune talents and changes to the hero's own attributes have made the originally sophisticated damage calculation methods of many veteran players no longer practical.
Now they need to change their calculation method and adapt again.
Because the damage of many heroes in this version has begun to overflow.
Coupled with the weakening of the Incense Burner monster, the single-row AD game environment has become a lot worse.
In the past, there were people who played a censer for a while when they were filling in as support. Anyway, standing behind the team with a shield and adding health would not kill you. It was pretty cool to get 20 or 30 assists with a single rank, and it was a soft support.
It would be more comfortable to publish a murder book and just think of it as a break from the usual hard work.
But once the Censer Monster is weakened and its strength is greatly reduced, players will be less willing to play it.
What's the point of being comfortable if you can't win the game?
Without soft support, you can only play hard support or legal support.
When you play hard support and encounter an AD that you don't know much about, or if you think differently from your teammates, it will be especially easy to lose yourself.
It is also easy to be walked around and played with.
Therefore, except for players who specialize in assisting, most fill-in players don't like hard assisting, and even if they play, they only play more entertaining games like robots.
After putting aside soft assistant and hard assistant, only legal assistant is left.
What about Xerath, Fire Man, etc. If you have some level of AD, then have fun, if you are not, then start your own C.
The most uncomfortable thing in this situation is naturally AD.
…
In the interview room, Yu Shuang continued to ask: "Last question, EDG advanced to the playoffs as the first place in the regular season of the group. Is it inconvenient for me to reveal the goals of Shine players in this spring split?"
It's a question of goals again.
The last thing Li Luo wanted to answer was this kind of question.
EDG is now guaranteed to be in the top four.
There really wasn't much room left for Li Luo to choose his target.
The Champions League and Asian Championships are nothing more than these three goals.
After thinking for a moment, Li Luo said: "Actually, the goal was already set when I chose to join the EDG team. When I was not in EDG, EDG was a regular in the finals of the LPL division, and in the finals,
More than half of them won and successfully won the trophy.”
"Now that I have joined, EDG's strength will have to go back three years, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Shuang was stunned.
Many fans of the EDG team at the scene were also stunned.
Go back three years...
Three years...
Three years ago today, what was the EDG team like at that time?
Many fans gradually recalled it.
The post-match interview is over.
But for the players in the Tieba forum, uncovering the meaning of Li Luo's big riddle is the key.
You must know that last year, Li Luo made many profound "prophecies" in the post-match interview.
The most famous among them is the "Dream Capital".
Li Luo's behavior of standing alone in the atmosphere and confusing everyone has led many players to spontaneously organize a small group of "Anatomy of the Riddler".
"Three years back? 2015, the Spring Split champion, right?"
"Man upstairs, be bold and think about it at a deeper level. In addition to the spring championship, what other championships did EDG win in 2015?"
"I was beaten 4-0 by FNC..."
"A good man doesn't mention the embarrassment of the past!"
"Starch rages!"
"Let me tell you something. The three years that Brother Luo mentioned could mean that he has already started studying M's private opponent in advance, right?!"
Fans on Tieba were talking a lot.
The excitement surrounding the end of the regular season lasted until Riot announced the update for the next version, and then the topic changed.
Since the 2018 season, many players have not adapted to the novelty of talent trees.
The game experience in many locations is not as good as before, which makes players complain.
Not long ago, a Riot designer recorded a video and said in the video, "ad is still operable in the current version, so today... we are going to weaken Dao Mei."
This sentence offended two groups of people.
The ad players didn't say anything yet, but the sword girl players broke through the defense first.
They thought they were used to having fists and mouths.
Even if it has been weakened in recent times, it has only made slight changes in skill values.
For Sword Girl, as long as the mechanism of W causing real damage remains unchanged, it will still be powerful no matter how you cut it.
But this time, the fist was crisp and clean, and the sword girl was directly redone.
We also specially produced a promotional video.
In the EDG base.
"This new version of Dao Mei... is a bit ugly, not as good-looking as before."
Meiko compared the illustrations of the old and new versions of Dao Mei, and commented seriously: "As for skills... they are completely different from before. After they are installed in the Korean server, I can try them out. The disarming feeling of this ultimate move
It’s quite interesting.”
Li Luo also noticed the announcement made by Riot Games, and felt quite emotional.
The rework of Knife Girl will be a turning point in this season.
It will take a long time for this hero to be implemented into the competition server.
This means that before the end of the M Private Season Invitational, professional players are still adapting to the fact that the current AD is increasingly taking up a larger proportion, and other lanes can play the Toolman version.
But it’s hard to say what the version will look like in the second half of this season.
ps: I won’t go for treatment tomorrow. It will return to normal at 18 o’clock and update at 22 o’clock. It’s the first time I’ve experienced the snail-like feeling of writing words. It’s so uncomfortable.
