Chapter 316 The No. 1 and No. 2 seeds are finalized!
Yangma’s report undoubtedly caused an uproar in the domestic e-sports circle.
What is a deck of cards.
This is the face of the card.
Especially when Li Luo's name was reported, and Yang Ma's live broadcast briefly showed footage of the Chinese team advancing to the base at the end of the final round, countless Li Luo's fans cheered.
capital.
Li Luo's home.
Li Quan ran out of the house with a red face.
He took a day off today and was going to buy some good wine to celebrate.
For the first time, Luo Mei did not restrict him. Days like today are undoubtedly memorable.
Lao Lin, who was next door, happened to be coming back from get off work and saw Li Quan from a distance.
"Old Li, what are you..."
"Hey Lao Lin, how did you know that my son won the gold medal? I'll serve a drink later and congratulate him together. I remember that your boy is still a fan of my son, so call him and join us!"
Li Quan walked past him happily, leaving Old Lin next door with a confused look on his face.
"Gold... gold medal?"
At this time, Lao Lin next door was completely confused.
He vaguely knew that the second son of the Li family, whom he had previously looked down upon, seemed to have made a lot of money outside, but the Li family had always kept a low profile, and he didn't have much idea about the so-called "big money".
After all, the amount of big money in everyone's eyes is different. Some people think that one hundred thousand yuan is a huge amount of money, but some people look down upon one million yuan.
But this time he understood the words Li Quan said.
gold medal!
He, Lao Lin, also watched the recent Asian Games.
But this gold medal...
Lao Lin, who returned home in despair, was just about to open the door when he heard his son's strange, animal-like scream coming from the door.
"I'm telling you, Brother Luo is my neighbor. We had a good relationship when we were young... Damn, look, you don't believe it. If I brag, I'm Brother Luo's son... no, his grandson!"
Lao Lin's face turned dark instantly outside the door.
He took out the key with one hand and opened the door, and began to unbuckle his belt with the other hand.
…
Jakarta.
Compared with the cumbersome procedures of ordinary events, the events of the Asian Games are much simpler and purer.
At the end of the game, the Chinese team members were not surrounded by sponsors, nor were they blocked by the major media from leaving.
This feeling made Li Luo feel very relaxed.
If League of Legends wants to develop and grow, commercialization is an inevitable path, and Li Luo understands this.
The fish and the bear's paw are invisible.
Li Luo only hopes that during his career, the environment in the league's professional circle can remain as pure as possible.
If the general environment can be kept pure, Li Luo is willing to pay more and set an example.
As the first domestic S-level champion and the first Grand Slam winner, Li Luo has the responsibility to do this.
"Everyone, please take a rest. I will take you to relax in the next two days."
When everyone returned to the residence arranged by the Asian Games Organizing Committee, Abu smiled and said to everyone. When he finished speaking, Abu added: "Tour at public expense."
"Great!"
All the players seemed very happy, including Li Luo.
When participating in other large-scale international competitions, everyone will be more casual, and the food will mostly focus on local characteristics. Anyway, participating in the competition is basically reimbursed by the club, and you will get nothing if you don't.
But participating in the Asian Games is different.
Athletes participating in the Asian Games can only eat the stipulated food. When meal time comes, they will all eat in the cafeteria. Their work and rest hours are completely different from those during normal games. After these days of training, the players have already been miserable.
After all, he was abroad, and although the food cooked by the chef seemed to match the domestic style, the taste was very different. The only meal that left a deep impression on Li Luo after so many days was fried instant noodles.
Li Luo was quite happy to be able to go out and relax for two days.
There are plenty of seafood here, so everyone in the Chinese team had a good time relaxing in the next two days.
But as one writer said, Chinese people do not seem to be accustomed to pure play, as well as sports and enjoyment for the purpose of games and happiness.
It is easy for Chinese people to regard fun as waste and exercise as fitness. Everything seems to be centered around a purpose, which makes legitimate enjoyment feel psychologically guilty.
After all, the playoffs will begin after I return.
The playoffs will determine whether you qualify for the final event of the year.
The day before returning to China, the version changed again.
Li Luo noticed it immediately.
There are only two or three changes in version 8.16 that deserve Li Luo's attention.
One is the weakening of Sword Demon.
Under the current general trend, the weakening of Sword Demon is undoubtedly an inevitable event. After all, there are few heroes in League of Legends who are as strong in lane and team play as this version of Sword Demon.
The second is the weakening of Rock Bird and Luo.
The weakening of Luo's basic value will further reduce his laning strength, and in the early and mid-term tempo, it is very likely that he will be killed instantly due to being too fragile.
This is closely related to EDG's situation in the playoff version.
After all, Luo is considered one of EDG's system heroes.
And the rock bird is even more so.
Not only for EDG, but also for the other two or three teams in the LPL playoffs that like the Rock Bird system, it will also cause a lot of weakening.
If the first two can be regarded as overall adjustments to AOE with a relatively wide scope, then the final weakening of Zuo Yin is undoubtedly a highly targeted one.
There are many teams playing Zuo Yin in LPL.
There is not only a junior player who is a good mid laner.
But the only team that regards Zuo Yin as a key tactical core is EDG.
Junior high school student Zuo Yin is truly capable of carrying.
As long as he gets Zuo Yin, the early laning advantage will most likely be guaranteed.
The hero Zuo Yin has only two skills that establish his early advantage, passive and W.
When these two skills are severely weakened, it means that Zuo Yin's early laning advantage is weakened.
This is for Chi Guoguo.
Of course, Li Luo wouldn't be overly worried.
EDG has many tactical systems.
Judging from this newly updated version, EDG in the playoffs will not be particularly affected.
But it was precisely because of this that Li Luo felt something was wrong.
Although he is a reborn person, he does not have a photographic memory, and Li Luo cannot remember the specific details of the changes in each version.
For ordinary players, it is enough to have an impression flow. For example, S8 is the top, mid and jungle version. To be precise, it is a bit similar to S5, it is the top lane version.
I believe many players know this.
But the most taboo thing for professional players is to use the impression flow to judge the version, and then use the impression flow to formulate strategies.
The more this overall impression can be remembered by everyone, the larger the gaps will be and the larger the operational tactical space will be.
According to Li Luo's experience, there should be two to three versions before the World Championship version is finalized.
What the final World Championship version will be like and which team he prefers, this is what Li Luo wants to know.
…
Early September.
The LPL playoffs have officially kicked off.
Two half-districts, a total of eight teams, will compete for three places in the World Championship.
The situation in the upper half of the area is undoubtedly very bloody, with Suning, RW, RNG and IG.
This is also the focus half of the playoffs.
On the other hand, the intensity of the second half...at least in the eyes of the audience is not that high.
The first is the TOP team. This controversial team also had a winning streak at the beginning of the competition and was even somewhat of a dark horse.
However, they had a winning streak in the early stage, but after playing against EDG, like Shi Lezhi, or as if they had been thoroughly studied by other teams, they began their journey of kneeling all the way.
In the end, although they squeezed into the playoffs with their early winning streak, they could only finish at the bottom of the rankings.
Except for TOP, FPX in the lower half.
The gap between their record and the top is very small, and their points and strength are almost the same as the top.
The third team is JD.com.
For these three teams, if they want to climb the EDG mountain, at least in the eyes of the vast majority of viewers, there is no chance.
EDG ignored the public opinion and praise from the outside world.
Li Luo, in particular, is still rigorous and conscientious in cooperating with Abramovich in formulating tactics.
Entering the finals is the first goal.
The second step is to get the No. 1 seed.
No matter who is standing in the top half, EDG doesn't care, all they care about is their own state.
Prepare yourself well, and they will be the invincible army of kings!
…
The playoff schedule is slowly progressing.
As the audience expected, the fighting in the first half was extremely brutal.
The first BO5 between Suning and RW was full.
The level of bloodshed has reached the maximum.
The RW team also successfully defeated Suning under the leadership of doinb and advanced to the next round.
It's just that their luck wasn't as good in the next round.
Because they are facing RNG.
Xia Zhihu Emperor seems to have maintained its pre-World Championship status, not only suppressing doinb during the laning phase, but also restricting doinb's roaming.
The experience gained by letme and Xiaohu in the Asian Games seems to have improved RNG's tactics around the bottom lane. In addition, Casa's state is in full swing. RW team's jungler Xiaofu is clearly powerful when facing Casa.
Not caught.
RW eventually lost to RNG 1-3, and RNG advanced to the next round.
Parallel to this is the progress in the second half.
The fight between TOP and FPX was also fierce.
But their winner, FPX, was unable to fight back when facing JD.com, losing 3-0, a miserable loss.
Judging from the game process, it seems that the two sides are not on the same level at all.
This BO5 also taught Abramovich a deep lesson. Abramovich could see that JD.com in the playoffs seemed to be a completely different team than in the regular season.
Li Luo saw Abu's expression, but Li Luo just smiled.
JD.com in the 18 years before his rebirth left a deep impression on Li Luo.
There is no other reason than that the coach of this Jingdong team is Hongmi.
You must know that although IG during the S8 playoffs has not yet progressed to the level of dominance as it did during the World Championships, it was still considered the leading team at the time.
Such a strong team was forced into a final life-or-death situation by a team with a very different personnel configuration on the surface.
This shows how terrible the coach Hongmi is.
And what they have to face next is Hongmi.
The duel between IG and RNG takes place first.
These two teams, which have been old enemies since the Spring Split, have now collided again, and the sparks created are quite intense.
Everyone in EDG at the base watched the live broadcast of the finals carefully.
If they reach the finals, then one of these two teams will be their opponent.
Therefore, it is important to observe and analyze the status and tactical play of the two teams.
And the two teams are indeed neck and neck when it comes to fighting.
In this version that has not yet fully evolved into the top lane version, tank heroes still play a decisive role in the top lane.
This can be seen from previous Asian Games events. These two versions of warriors obviously cannot absolutely crush the tank top lane hero.
And after letme's "all beings are equal" attribute was triggered, he didn't get scared when faced with The shy.
On the contrary, Uzi is in hot shape.
"The strength is very close, but although RNG is in good shape, the upper limit feels not as good as it was in the spring split."
Ming Kai leaned on his chair and said thoughtfully.
Li Luo glanced at Ming Kai.
It is indeed 77777.
When RNG was strong, many people ignored some potential problems that were not easily discovered because of their strength.
That is dominance.
As the version changes, the things they are good at are gradually deviating from the version.
And the authorities were so obsessed that they didn't find the direction that should be changed in time, or...whether the players on the team had the ability to change in other directions.
For example, EDG has maintained a strong status from the beginning of the year to now.
In the eyes of the audience, EDG is the absolute ruler in the country this year.
But in fact, EDG's dominance is also fluctuating.
It's just that EDG won in all big games, so this kind of fluctuation is difficult for ordinary players to see.
Every time there is a fluctuation in the team, EDG can find a new direction in the shortest time, and EDG players also have the ability to make adjustments.
Jin Gong's versatile nature gives EDG an advantage in switching tactics and styles. Xiaotian and Mingkai, two junglers with completely different styles, can give EDG control in the jungle in every version.
Like a fish in water.
The junior high school student’s strong personal ability is there. If you are strong, you can ignore many things.
The bottom road... I won’t talk about it.
To put it bluntly, every time EDG takes a step forward, it will drive stakes farther away in advance to prepare for the next step.
If the stakes laid are not suitable for the next version, it is just a matter of pulling them out and driving them again. With the experience of laying them before, you can avoid detours when re-selecting the position.
RNG...can't do this.
3 to 2.
From the spring split to the summer split, there were two identical encounters and two identical scores.
More and more people are teasing IG as this game ends, and RNG fans are also looking forward to revenge on EDG in this final.
The premise is that EDG can really advance to the finals.
The showdown between JD.com and EDG soon kicked off.
The Hongmi coach, who is good at seizing the opponent's weaknesses and limiting the opponent's strength, seemed to be stretched when facing EDG.
EDG also taught all team coaches a profound lesson.
When version 8.16 came out, everyone saw the weakening of Zuo Yin and felt that a major threat to EDG had been eliminated.
But in fact, EDG did not give up on this hero. Instead, they used their thinking flexibly to find strengths from weaknesses.
Zuo Yin's passive and W damage have been cut, but the mechanism is there, and the cuts are only in the early and mid-term.
In the later stage, Zuo Yin doesn't rely much on W to deal damage.
After all, Zuo Yin’s strength lies in his key poke in team battles.
So EDG no longer needs the youngster to gain a laning advantage on his own when asking him to choose Zuo Yin.
Instead, Xiaotian was asked to choose a hero who would set up the rhythm in the early stage, and forcefully grab the middle lane twice in the range of levels 3-6, to forcefully help the younger brother to set up the rhythm at the expense of some of his own development.
The gap in personal ability between the two players allowed Xiaotian, who sacrificed in the early stage, to quickly make up for his disadvantage.
Then EDG relied on the strength of its players to crush JD in the face step by step.
The final score between the two sides was fixed at 3 to 1.
JD.com only won one small game, relying on top laner Captain Zoom’s explosive blood C.
But this kind of blood C cannot last for a long time.
Suddenly, the script of the spring finals was played out again.
And with EDG entering the finals... this means that the LPL's No. 1 seed and No. 2 seed have their names.
The difference is just who is number one and who is number two.
