Jin Gong on the playing field is a very calm person in most situations.
The more critical the game, the more so.
On weekdays, he is relatively lively when training in the base or playing in relatively relaxed games where he has a huge advantage.
Facing this final, Jin Gong was more serious than ever.
Judging from the lineups of both sides in this game, the tactical purpose of the edg team is to focus on the single lane on the top lane.
Not just this game.
If coaches from other teams study the BP of the three finals, they will find that the tactics implemented by EDG in the finals are completely different from the tactical system they implemented in the regular season and playoffs.
Since the Spring Split, Edgor will either let Jin Gong choose a pure tool player, which is the system that the Edg team was best at in the past.
A series of tank heroes such as Big Tree and Big Insect are directly assigned to Jin Gongyi, allowing him to withstand pressure in the early stage and assume the front-line role of the team in the later stage.
Either Jin Gong will choose a hero such as Captain and Vampire who can bear the core of the late game. The adaptability of the spring version will make the choice of bottom lane biased towards functionality. Therefore, when Jin Gong chooses the hero of the core of the late game, Li Luo's
There will be a lot of room for hero selection, and this is the system that Edg used the most in the spring split.
However, the single-belt system EDG rarely plays.
But in this spring finals, edg undoubtedly taught rng, and even all the teams, a lesson.
Whether it was Sword Lady in the first game or Camille in this game, EDG mastered the 41-point push and the team's rhythm very well.
The advantage of such a lineup is that if it has an advantage, it can rely on its excellent operational capabilities to use multi-party containment to contain the opponent to death.
But the shortcomings are also obvious.
That is, once the game is delayed to the later stage, the output core will be relatively single and the fault tolerance rate of team battles will be low.
That's the case with this game.
Although there were a lot of twists and turns in the end, being able to win the game in the shortest time and having his heart stimulated a little was completely worth it for Li Luo.
"Let us congratulate the edg team for winning the 2018 LPL Spring Split with 3 wins! At the same time, they will also represent the LPL Division in this MSI Mid-Season Invitational. Congratulations to them!"
Miller's tone was impassioned.
Guan Zeyuan, who was beside him, also said slowly: "After a year, it is really not easy for EDG to win their LPL trophy again! Their record in this spring game is luxurious, and they have ten games in the regular season.
Nine consecutive wins and no defeat in small games in the playoffs. Although they lost in small games in the regular season, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have won the spring split from an overall perspective!"
"It is true that at the beginning of the season, we were not very optimistic about this EDG after the personnel changes, but this spring split, whether it is Xiaotian in the jungle or Jin Gong in the top lane, they have proven themselves!"
Wawa lamented: "So the audience, please give them applause again, okay?!"
As a field control commentator, Wawa's field control ability is indeed impressive.
As he finished speaking, the crowd burst into cheers.
Seeing everyone in edg walking up to the trophy and holding it high, the players in the Tieba forum also became excited.
"I said that Jin Gong's performance in these three games completely blew up Letme. Does anyone have any objection?"
"Definitely not. Damn, Jin Gong's performance in these three games is completely world-class top laner, especially the wave of retainers just now... I was dumbfounded by MD."
"Although Brother Luo performed very well in these three games, I think the FMVP in this finals should be Jin Gong. Who is in favor of it and who is against it?"
"Baby actually only mentioned Xiaotian and Jin Gong, so our brother Luo is not a newcomer? It has only been less than a year since he debuted and he has played in all competitions. I, brother Luo, are also a newcomer!"
"Brother Luo is a newcomer in a sense, but the path he has traveled in his career of less than a year has not been completed by any other Chinese player so far."
"What stands in front of you now is the 2017 LPL Summer Championship, the 2018 LPL Spring Championship, the 2017 Global Finals Championship, the 2017 LPL Summer Season FMVP, the 2017 Global Finals FMVP... Looking at it this way, if EDG wins the MSI...
Isn’t Brother Luo a Grand Slam champion?”
"It shouldn't count. Brother Luo has never played in the intercontinental competition, and there will be an Asian Games event soon..."
"I feel sorry for my factory. I didn't even get a chance to play in the finals. Is Edg going to hide the factory?"
"Stop bragging about the factory director. Can't you see how strong Xiaotian is now? Xiaotian can play even if the factory director can play, but the factory director of Xiaotianhui can't play. People from the older generation are destined to be eliminated."
"Xiang Guo was blasted twice, and Casa was also blasted once. I said Xiaotian is now the number one jungler in the LPL division. No one has any objections, right?"
Some viewers who came to Tieba to watch the show felt uncomfortable after seeing these comments.
But some viewers are quite sensitive.
It had only been less than two minutes since the cup was held.
The comments brewing in the Tieba forum are starting to go wrong.
What exactly is wrong is hard to say.
Especially fans of other teams.
After all, edg will represent the lpl in the msi mid-season invitational tournament.
Many fans of the team are actually very open-minded.
But during the civil war in the lpl division, they will support their favorite team.
However, if their favorite team fails to advance to the world championships, then they will support the team representing the lpl in world-type events.
This is a very normal thing.
Therefore, when edg won the championship, many fans of rng and even fans of other teams came to the Tieba forum with relief.
However, some people's comments made them feel very uncomfortable. Most of their congratulations to the edg team disappeared, and some even developed feelings of disgust.
…
On the competition stage.
When all edg members rushed to the stage and picked up the Silver Dragon Cup, which symbolizes the LPL championship, the warm atmosphere at the scene was also heightened to the climax.
As the host Ren Dong stepped forward for the interview, the noise at the scene subsided a little.
"First of all, congratulations again to edg for winning the lpl championship trophy again after a year. I would like to interview meiko. How do you feel now? Do you feel like you are used to winning championships?"
Ren Dong's joking words made meiko a little embarrassed, but fortunately, meiko is also a veteran and can quickly adjust her emotions when facing interviews.
After a slight adjustment, Meiko said calmly: "It still feels different, especially this is the first championship that Li Luo and I have won. I am very happy to accompany Brother Luo to win the championship."
"Oyo."
There were bursts of good-natured laughter and sighs at the scene.
Ren Dong also showed a narrow smile and handed the microphone to Li Luo: "I want to interview Brother Luo about his mood. By the way, I also want to know who made the last decision."
"Of course I am in a good mood. After all, after taking this step, I am one step closer to my Grand Slam."
Li Luo said naturally: "In addition, the last wave of decisions... Actually, according to my original idea, I wanted to use Galio and I to enter the field to attract the attention of rng and give the world a chance to fight in the dragon pit.
But the handling of the incense pot was very good and it kind of broke our layout."
"However, Jin Gong made very good adjustments and his thinking was very clear, so the final decision-making was actually completed by Jin Gong."
"So that's it..."
Ren Dong understood instantly, and then continued to ask: "So what does Luo Ge think is the magic weapon for winning 3 matches this time? Can you share it with everyone?"
Li Luo pondered for a moment and then said: "There is no doubt about this. Our overall performance is stronger than rng's, so our team is greater than rng's team, so it is natural that we can win."
Ren Dong nodded, feeling a little emotional.
In his impression, every time Li Luo was interviewed about similar questions, Li Luo's answers were the same.
It has always been centered around the word "team".
Such is the debut.
Now that more than half a year has passed, Li Luo's original intention remains the same.
Immediately after Ren Dong handed the microphone to Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian won the championship for the first time and looked obviously a little nervous. When faced with Ren Dong's question "Are you satisfied with your performance?" Xiao Tian organized his words.
Later he said: "I am quite satisfied. My teammates have helped me a lot, so I can have a better environment to perform."
The next person to interview was Jin Gong.
At this time, Jin Gong's mood had calmed down. When Ren Dong mentioned what he thought about the last wave, Jin Gong smiled at the camera and said: "At that time... I didn't think much, I just felt,
No matter what, I have to leave them here and use all the available skills. I think I have done it..."
The barrage was filled with tears at this time.
"Cry for me!"
"What is a team top laner?!"
"To be honest, before today, I always thought that the team top laner = trying to mess with the bastard heroes, but today I realized that the team top laner does not refer to the attributes of the hero, but the player's style. Who can say the last one?
Bo Jin Gong has no operation? It’s simply brilliant, okay?!”
"Looking at what you said, it sounds like my Gongzi brother can't carry. You forgot the first three swords and one uzi!"
Soon, Ren Dong interviewed Ming Kai again.
When the director of the factory faced the camera, he was already very proficient in doing so.
After seeing him "smiling evilly", he said: "We have really been studying MSI's opponents for a long time, and MSI I will prove myself again!"
"66666!"
"A factory is still a factory after all!"
"Trivia, the champion of lck's spring split is kz, and kz's jungler is Xiaohuahua."
"Changzi, your fans have come to see you again, Factoryzi."
"Isn't this MSI the advanced version of ROX and the advanced version of EDG? And Brother Luo hasn't played against the two elders Xuan Ming yet..."
"We played against each other in the All-Star Game, did you forget?"
"If you say that, then I have to tell you about the value of my Uzi solo in the 2016 All-Star Game."
…
As the interview ended, the award ceremony also began.
A team cash reward of 1.5 million yuan plus an officially customized commemorative plate with his or her ID printed on each player.
When she got the sign, Meiko fiddled with it and whispered to Li Luo: "How do you think the organizer knew who would win the championship? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if it was printed wrong?"
Li Luo pondered for two seconds: "Is there a possibility that they printed two sets?"
"What about the other set?"
"You have to ask the organizer about this."
Li Luo was a little helpless. With Tian Ye's IQ, he would ask such a question.
Li Luo felt that he had to re-evaluate the intelligence of his "concubine".
After that, it was the msi's departure ceremony.
This time the officials are lazier.
In the past, they would give each player a piece of clothing and let the players wear it for a group photo.
But this time they actually framed a frame with a dragon pattern on it, and then asked the contestants to hold the frame for photos.
The whole thing stands out with a scribble.
On the way backstage, Xiaotian took the initiative to carry the spring championship trophy, looking very happy.
Jin Gong was browsing on his phone comfortably.
"Due to the tight schedule, I can only give you three days off this time. Please be patient."
Zhu Kai said with a smile as he walked.
"It doesn't really matter whether you have this holiday or not. Even if you do, you have to make up for the live broadcast time at the base. Alas, it's so difficult for professional players. They don't even have a place to spend money."
Meiko said helplessly.
"That's right, and everyone in our base is single... oh, except us Qi-chan."
Xiaotian also said with a smile.
"Let's go out to celebrate today. There is no need to make up for the live broadcast time during the holidays. If it can't be completed, Li Zhe can go to the live broadcast platform to deal with it. Even if the live broadcast platform is angry, it will take it out on him. It has nothing to do with us."
Abu's words made all the players' eyes light up.
at the same time.
Li Zhe, who was arranging a celebration party for the evening, suddenly sneezed.
"Got a cold?"
Li Zhe rubbed his nose and muttered in his mind: "Who is still arranging me?"
…
Not surprisingly, the news that edg won the Spring Split quickly began to spread on the Internet.
Players from edg also came across these comments when they were bored.
Especially Xiaotian.
When he saw how many people in the Tieba forum boasted that he was the best jungler in the world, he felt a little panicked.
Xiaotian is not the kind of professional player with a big heart.
Such highly praised remarks seem to be an endorsement of him.
But Xiaotian, who is a party involved, does not think so.
If it were Prince Ning, he would take it for granted.
But people are different.
This will only make Xiaotian's psychological pressure even greater.
"Are these people exaggerating? Isn't this a cause of war?"
Meiko also saw a lot of comments about herself.
What completely destroyed Xiao Ming, the number one assistant in China, and so on.
Fortunately, this is not the first time Meiko has encountered this situation. He had seen similar comments as early as 2015 MSI.
It’s just that the e-sports circle at that time was not so chaotic.
Even though she had had a similar experience before, Meiko would still be secretly stunned when she saw these remarks.
"There are people everywhere who criticize and praise others. There are not many people who understand the principle of appreciation by wise people and comparison by fools, but after all, there are still quite a few people who like to compare."
Li Luo noticed that Xiaotian's expression was not right and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Whatever happens is our entire team's responsibility."
"Yes, look at our Qi-chan. We were once touted as the best jungler in the world. He also said that he would prove himself on the court, but he has memorized 4396 until now. Qi-chan, come and comfort us."
Meiko's voice attracted Mingkai's attention.
Ming Kai rubbed his brain.
We have been teammates for about three years. We are teammates, but more like brothers.
The better the relationship, the more outrageous the jokes between each other.
He has gradually become accustomed to this feeling.
But there is nothing Mingkai can do about the comments on the Internet.
As a bystander, the comfort I can think of is "ignore those people, they can brag as much as they like, it has nothing to do with you, just calm down."
However, only those who have experienced these things will understand that this so-called comfort is no different from farts.
Just relax and tell anyone.
But how many people can actually do it?
It is impossible for Xiaotian to control what fans say and tell them not to brag about him. He is not the best jungler in the world. He cannot stand up and say such things.
Mingkai clearly knows that on the surface, the Internet is currently one-sided in promoting edg.
But this kind of flattery is like a small boat swaying in the huge waves, which may capsize at any time.
When will it be turned over?
Of course when you lose.
Mingkai also knew that if he could figure out this problem, Xiaotian would be able to figure it out too.
This is where the seriousness of the problem lies.
As the saying goes, everything that flourishes must eventually decline.
The edg team's journey in the spring split has been really smooth.
Can they win the final championship this time in MSI without losing a game?
No one can guarantee it.
But as long as they carry this kind of pressure and thoughts from public opinion, they will definitely have problems on the playing field. This is 100%!
Mingkai has experienced the dark S5 season, so he certainly knows this truth.
Before the start of the S5 World Championship, what did domestic players think of the LPL?
However, the harder they blew, the harder they sprayed after the defeat in S5.
This is the impact of the overall environment.
Ming Kai accidentally glanced at Li Luo.
He actually wanted to know how Li Luo, as a newcomer, could maintain such a steady mentality.
In Mingkai's impression, Li Luo never seemed to be affected by the pressure of public opinion. It felt... like he didn't care about public opinion.
But as a young man, how is this possible?
What Mingkai didn't know was that Li Luo had experienced too much.
The players of s5lpl will be inflated by the praise of the audience.
Now three years have passed.
When faced with the praise of the audience again, the players of the edg team not only did not feel inflated, but they were still in a heavy mood.
This change in mentality comes from lessons learned from past mistakes.
Although Li Luo had no personal experience before his rebirth, he had seen numerous similar cases.
Li Luo adjusts his mentality before every game. This adjustment is similar to "hypnosis" in psychology.
This allowed Li Luo to avoid being affected by external public opinion to the greatest extent.
When it comes to public opinion, among the edg team, Li Luo is under the greatest pressure.
As the first domestic world champion adc player, Li Luo's honor has brought him countless compliments.
What is the first adc in the country?
The first adc in China since ancient times.
Faced with these titles that carry time bombs, Li Luo's pressure is extremely terrifying.
But Li Luo, who has experienced a lot, knows one thing very well.
As long as his own mentality is not affected, even if there are twists and turns in the process, he will not be destroyed.
Instead of being crushed, and with confidence in his heart, he can keep moving forward.
public opinion?
Has public opinion affected him making money or has it affected his playing games?
Or... his purpose in playing professionally is for fans and public opinion?
neither.
The reason why I became a professional player was because of my dream.
Only when you truly understand and believe that you are pursuing a career for yourself can you avoid being affected by public opinion.
From joining edg to now, Li Luo and Abu have discussed many playing methods.
These tactics killed Li Luo and he didn't know how many brain cells he had.
Unlike when he was at ig, Li Luo's biggest breakthrough at edg was...integrating.
Integrate the version created by the designer, cater to the designer's version and move forward. Avoid the important and trivial matters in the process of advancement, and try to confuse the designer as much as possible.
Under such confusion, the designer will most likely choose to move forward with the version according to the originally formulated ideas.
This is exactly what Li Luo wants.
As long as the big version in his impression didn't yaw, then the edg team's tactics would be as continuous as a surging river.
But if the major version undergoes changes that are contrary to those before his rebirth, then all Li Luo can rely on is the tactical preparation attribute of his talent.
Although this is his advantage, there are many players who have this advantage.
In the spring split, Riot Games focused its main target on IG.
The invasiveness shown by ig in S7 also made Riot go to war in terms of vision.
Li Luo couldn't remember the details of the version very clearly.
But this general direction is undoubtedly correct.
The same was true when Riot attacked SSG before rebirth, cutting off the adc's proportion and vision in the team.
Because the SSG's defensive eye position is so good, the zombie guard will turn the SSG's defensive eye position into a mine that may blow up itself.
So ssg is obsolete.
However, ig's vision ability is weak, but its invasiveness is very strong. Therefore, the changes to the zombie guard will amplify the weak vision ability of ig a lot, and ssg will become a victim instead.
Li Luo, who transferred to edg, seems to have been getting stabbed.
But there was no slash on his aorta.
In the spring competition, Li Luo used functional ADC to show his strong desire to perform.
In order to reduce the proportion of functional ADCs, Riot released Kai'Sa, and also strengthened later-type ADCs such as Policewoman, Xayah, Varus and other heroes.
Then edg began to quickly switch versions, catering to Riot's wave of 41-point push style.
ig was seriously unable to adapt to the version changes in the playoffs, leading to its elimination.
From the beginning of S8 to now, Li Luo has been swimming on the edge of the rules like a fish.
This is Li Luo's rule of survival.
It is also a perfect textbook survival rule for any team.
But the key to the mid-season version lies there.
The mid-season version is nothing short of a huge turning point for the entire season.
The tactics and performance of this MSI will be related to the version changes that Riot will make in the Summer Split and even the subsequent World Championship.
The one who suffered a blow in the Spring Split was the ig team.
But the next MSI champion will be the second one to get stabbed.
This is also the reason why very few teams can also perform well in the World Championship after winning the MSI championship.
Many times it's not because the team's strength has fluctuated.
In most cases, the team cannot fit in with the version made by Riot.
This is cruel.
But this is also true.
…
The version of msi is finalized as 8.8.
Compared with the LPL finals, it spans two minor versions.
The updated content of version 8.7 has been implemented in the national server, and the players have naturally known it for a long time.
The change that has the biggest impact on Li Luo is the weakening of the Yang Dao.
The change from 3000 yuan to 3300 yuan will make ADC less suitable to make a sheep knife as the first piece of equipment.
This is almost equivalent to Varus being weakened.
In addition, the shield of relics passively gives less money.
This means that the priority of hard assist will be reduced.
Soft assistants may lead hard assistants again and become the beneficiaries of the version.
But that's not all.
When the update content of version 8.8 came out, all edg members were a little serious.
The first is the weakening of Varus.
Although edg didn't get Varus many times in the spring split, this hero is considered popular in all competition regions.
Subsequently, Kai'Sa also received her first weakening.
Another relatively big change in version 8.8 is the extension of Galio’s ultimate attack time.
This is equivalent to a kind of castration of the tactical system for EDG who prefers to use Galio as a support in the spring split.
The redo callback of Enchantress can be regarded as announcing the failure of the s7 Enchantress redo.
Tahm Kench and Rock Bird have also been weakened to varying degrees.
"The money for melee soldiers has increased, the money for long-range soldiers has decreased, and the number of artillery soldiers has increased... If you miss an artillery car, you will lose money."
Xiaotian noticed that Xiaobing had also been changed and couldn't help but complain.
Abu looked at all this with some solemnity.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary players, changes to the minion economy will not even attract their attention.
At most, it is just complaining or making fun of the money of gun trucks and super soldiers.
But for professional teams, the changes to gun trucks and super soldiers have a huge impact.
The change in the money of artillery soldiers means that players may compete fiercely for artillery vehicles during the laning phase.
The chain reaction brought about by this fierce competition is the increased antagonism in the early stage.
The bottom lane is most obviously affected.
However, Kai'Sa, who performed extremely well under Li Luo, had her early laning ability weakened.
This will make it relatively difficult for the edg team to do BP in msi.
While the EDG players were discussing with each other, Zhu Kai walked in and said: "The participating lists of all MSI teams have come out. Although everyone already knows about them, this year's competition system will be different from previous years.
msi makes a difference."
Zhu Kai's words attracted the attention of all the team members.
"The events will be held in Berlin, Germany and Paris, France."
"The event is divided into two types: the qualifying stage and the group stage. We will talk about it after the teams in the qualifying stage are finished. In the group stage, the teams from each major region we will face are North America's tl."
“Europe’s fnc.”
“kz.korea.”
"And the opponent we need to pay most attention to this time is undoubtedly kz."
