On September 9th, the World Championship version was released.
In this version, the female gun Lux Nightmare has been enhanced, the Blind Sink's W has been enhanced, Kindred's E has been enhanced, and the female gun's passive damage to defensive towers is no longer halved.
Correspondingly, Ashe, Ekko, Gnar, Ice Girl, Excavator, Rock Bird, Shen, Vampire and other strong heroes in the summer season have all been weakened, which also means that version 6.18 will be a brand new one.
version environment.
Among them, the weakening of Rock Bird is crucial.
Because now in 6.18, Rockbird's Q no longer causes 50% additional damage to minions, so Rockbird will fall out of the push lane in version T1.
There is good news and bad news for K1 in this version.
The good news is that the heroes that K1 doesn't have are not weakened very much, so they can't be weakened.
The bad news is that the heroes in the K1 club haven't been strengthened much, so they haven't been strengthened much either.
During this time, the training of female guns has been put on Ah Shui's agenda.
Although Ah Shui thinks that a hero like a female gun still needs to be trained?
But under Xu Ruoguang's lust, he still had to obey.
At the same time, KKoma’s analysis of the 6.18 version is already in full swing.
“This version is very provocative!”
This is the first conclusion KKoma gave after suffering from dark circles for a week.
He looked serious, and the atmosphere became tense unconsciously.
"On the surface, 6.18 will be a relatively slow version. After all, the appearance rate of late-stage ADs such as Destiny Master and EZ Policewoman has greatly increased in this version."
"But actually, it's not."
"How do you feel after this period of training matches?"
He looked at Xu Ruoguang.
Xu Ruoguang thought for a moment, then spoke out.
"It's hard to come back."
This was his first thought.
On the surface, even if the economy is at its worst, it will be at most two or three thousand behind, and it will be delayed for forty or fifty minutes. This economic point does not seem to matter.
But in fact this is not the case at all.
One blood + one tower, once this rhythm gets rolling, the disadvantaged side has almost no power to fight back.
The dragon buff gradually accumulates, making it impossible for the disadvantaged team to fight in a group fight.
Although it seems to be only two or three thousand behind, the combat effectiveness is completely different.
The advantage of the blue side is still obvious, but once the red side really fights back, it will be the blue side that cannot make a comeback.
"Yeah, it's hard to come back!"
kkoma nodded in agreement.
"So next, we must find the bot lane group with the highest priority and the strongest early combat effectiveness in this version, as well as the jungle hero with the strongest rhythm ability."
"This is the version of rhythm jungler, little peanut, I am very confident about your rhythm, but don't be proud and keep working hard."
"Yes, coach."
Little Peanut nodded seriously.
"In terms of the layout of the top lane, heroes like Rambo should be able to make a comeback. Ruoguang, is there no problem?"
Xu Ruoguang showed a wanton smile, "Don't worry, my Rambo is always very powerful!"
This is not a boast. His signature in the summer split of S5 was Rambo.
"In the middle, Victor's strong position is still there, but Scout, you have to try Snake or Syndra. We need some stronger choices from the mid laner."
kkoma nodded and looked at scout.
Scout nodded without hesitation.
He does not participate in command and is purely a thug player.
Whatever the coach tells him to do, he does it.
"Ah Shui, although the ice is weakened, its functionality is still the first choice after ruling out the fortune teller. Don't forget to practice."
"In terms of early stage suppression, I need you to master the female gun and female police officer as soon as possible. Your unique skill Draven may also become the winner of our key game. Are you clear?"
kkoma looked at Ah Shui, who naturally nodded without hesitation.
"Finally, Hirano Aya, you need to master Nami, Karma and Zyra. Among these three heroes, I still trust your Karma, so you have to play well with Nami and Zyra, you know?"
Of course Hirano Aya would not object.
kkoma has far-reaching vision,
"No matter what the core of the version is, as long as we have enough heroes, the version will never be able to stump us."
"We can obey the version, but I hope you will never be superstitious about the version."
"When the situation is really desperate, we will be the version."
"Is it clear?"
"Clear!"
Xu Ruoguang took the lead and shouted.
“Not bad, very energetic!”
kkoma smiled, and the dark circles on his face no longer looked so tired.
“Today is the day when the Riot S6 promotional video is released, let’s watch it together.”
All K1 members sat together, and kkoma pressed the MV play button.
Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump.
A somewhat psychedelic short electronic sound sounded, and a moving wrist appeared on the screen.
"Oh? Is this 2D style?"
Hirano Aya raised her eyebrows slightly, curious.
Silhouettes of characters in various team uniforms appeared, and among them, the most eye-catching one was the curly-haired figure with a slight tilt of the head and a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"SKT team uniform... no glasses, not fat, curly hair."
As an old man, Ah Shui has a bright look.
"This is not Brother Guang. I'll let you say whatever you want."
Music, begins to appear.
"The fire burns brightly in my heart."
The curly-haired figure pressed the button and his fingers flew, showing that he was operating intensely.
The screen turned, and in the 2D-style Summoner's Rift, the sharp-eyed swordswoman held her sword forward.
"As expected, it's Brother Guang! Is this what Brother Guang wants to do?"
Ah Shui sighed.
The sword girl passed by with her sword, and the sword edge struck a huge axe. That was Nuo Shou!
The corners of the sword girl's mouth raised, she retracted the sword in her hand, and stabbed out again as fast as lightning. Under the movement, Tiamat's brilliance shone brightly on the sword's edge.
This time, Nuoshou did not block it, and his face looked frightened.
The screen turned and cut to a fat contestant.
His face was stunned and at a loss.
Xu Ruoguang held his forehead and said, "Why did you pick this one? The fist is really disgusting."
Isn't this fat player AJ?
What do you mean, Riot, I played so many games in SKT, and you just picked me to play EDG?
It has to be disgusting, right?
In fact, from Xu Ruoguang's point of view, the sharp hook is really not that big of a difference in terms of pure strength.
With the line-changing tactics and the constant care of the jungler, Nuo Shou really couldn't play.
If Xu Ruoguang were to go over, at most he would be able to find opportunities in the mid-term, and it would really be impossible to play in the lane.
The music continued, and everyone from TPA and EDG put down the mouse in despair.
The camera turned to the dragon pit.
Raven, Blind Monk, Lulu, Jinx Tau.
Five heroes were pulling in front of the dragon. Ryze, whose body was shining with blue light of runes, activated his ultimate move, the power of despair, and began to jerk off wildly!
"It's faker!"
Scout's eyes were focused and he almost subconsciously called out Ryze's identity.
This one left a deep impression on him.
Finals, against Koo!
And this wave...
Xu Ruoguang showed a bright smile.
"I'm coming."
The camera switched, and the handsome young man with curly hair pointed his right hand to the sky. Under the teleportation beam of light, the young man jumped into the sky.
The next second, he fell headfirst like a meteor towards the dragon pit.
And among the various colors, the boy's figure transformed into Gnar!
He landed and smiled evilly.
The moment the Q skill boomerang is thrown, it steps on Lulu and flies into the Koo team!
In the midst of lightning and flint, there was a sudden push!
In the next shot, the KOO player put down the mouse in despair, and the curly-haired boy made a throat-slitting motion towards the camera.
"It is indeed Brother Guang, is it really so impressive?"
Ah Shui admitted that he was sour.
Xu Ruoguang's throat-cutting was technically a fine, but it was indeed a very iconic move.
The next second, the classic moments from each competition area began to unfold.
S2, Assassination Star mid laner fifa character's clockwork, the key ultimate move to bring back Shen.
In S3, Uzi Wei En rolled, seven in and seven out of the crowd.
S4, European and American Dharma King's carrion root one to four.
S5…
Next to the burning base, a praying mantis stood quietly.
"Damn it, the country-protecting mantis is here!"
Ah Shui's hot dance was boiling. How many people were moved to tears by this scene?
The camera flashed, and it was a panacea.
He looked ugly and gritted his teeth.
The body gradually fell into the fire.
But the hand he stretched out firmly indicated that he would never give up.
The camera turned, and on the throne, countless dark hands were entangled under Faker's body, but his eyes were on another throne.
Over there, the curly-haired boy took one step at a time, crushed countless darkness, and calmly sat on the throne.
faker smiled slightly and stretched out his hand.
The curly-haired boy stretched out his hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Fist bump.
Two figures jumped down and transformed into Sword Lady and Ryze running in the canyon.
SKT, when twin stars shine!
"Let me tell you, Fist seems to think you two are great buddies. Ruoguang, what do you think?"
kkoma joked with a smile.
Xu Ruoguang's face was pale, "It's not bad."
After faker apologized and cleared up the misunderstanding, he didn't have such a big opinion against faker.
As soon as the camera turned, the blond player smiled triumphantly and transformed into Rambo, about to make a crucial blow to the base.
Amidst the firelight that filled the sky, a mantis flew out!
The cold blade was like chopping melons and vegetables, killing the stunned Rambo!
In the canyon, the remaining four people were retreating, but the scarred mantis suddenly jumped up, dragging its broken body, and jumped into the enemy group!
"Keep your life alive! I still have images of this wave!"
godv sighed.
"So handsome, my elixir!"
Ah Shui also praised without hesitation.
This wave, the elixir is residual blood.
But he just went up to keep people.
The trust in teammates can be imagined.
The last clip is naturally the absolute protagonist of S5, SKT.
"Why is there no Ma Datou and Mr. Hou? It's fine without them. Why is there no brother Rucan?"
Ah Shui expressed dissatisfaction.
Scout was not surprised.
"At that time, I was definitely ranked according to the one who played the most. In S5, I was just the champion. It was not normal."
The promotional video originally ended here, but what people didn't expect was that there was a little easter egg.
The sword girl's figure was hidden, and the curly-haired boy put down the hand holding the trophy, looked back at his teammates, and then walked into the darkness without hesitation.
Over there, a big English word, "home", is revealed.
At this point, the MV ends.
"Damn it, you still want to brag about Brother Guang in the end, right? What Tie Guangza, Riot MV planning has some elements to it."
Ah Shui expressed that his mood was stable.
Doesn't this last wave mean that Xu Ruoguang gave up on SKT and chose to return to LPL?
Wanderer, return home.
Riot Games will certainly not be able to understand this connotation, but it does not affect their appreciation of Xu Ruoguang's return.
After careful calculation, Xu Ruoguang has more shots than Faker.
But it's normal.
Tell me loudly, who is the fmvp of S5?
This is S5, the amount of money Guang Ge needs to reach the top!
After watching the MV, naturally it’s time for intense and exciting training again.
KKoma has assigned tasks to everyone, and there is no need to delay at this moment.
Although the mv is passionate, it is already a thing of the past.
To use a more earthy phrase.
Everyone has glorious moments, don’t treat a moment as eternity!
Xu Ruoguang never dwells on past glory.
He just wants to create new legends.
However, K1's calm reaction does not mean that others are calm.
Countless K1 fans shed tears.
Many of them only watched the game this year. After seeing this MV, they realized how much Riot really respects Xu Ruoguang.
This triggered the idea of compensating for the S5 World Championship among many people.
After reading it, they had only one idea.
What the hell kind of top order is this!
Kill the handler alone and crush the handler.
Super idols are commonplace.
There are many stars shining in the S5 World Championship, but there is no doubt that Xu Ruoguang is the most dazzling one.
"Before watching the game, I was still thinking, does Xu Ruoguang still need to brag? He is already so strong, why does he still need to brag?"
"After reading it, I found that I was wrong. Isn't this just a human being?"
"It's outrageous. I'm super. I just found out today how good Guang Ge's S5 is. He averages two ban positions per game and can still kill randomly every time. It's such a shame."
"What do you two mean? Brother Guang's S6 is not C now?"
"C is indeed C, but there were too many trolls in the spring split, which made my impression a bit blurry."
"Wait a minute, it's scary to think about it, folks, this is a top laner who is famous for carrying the top laner in S5. How come his team's top laner is playing so hard now in S6?"
"I'm super, when you say it, it's true!"
"What exactly can Brother Guang not know?"
In the complicated discussion, what doesn’t #Guangge know?
This entry immediately became the number one hot search on Weibo, with the word "explosion" attached to it.
This is how popular Xu Ruoguang is now!
And under this entry, countless netizens also started to make crazy jokes, which became more and more outrageous.
From the very beginning, Brother Guang will not collapse and Brother Guang will not be caught.
It became "Brother Guang can't wash dishes" and "Brother Guang can't drive".
Then to "Brother Guang will not join the Los Angeles Lakers", "Brother Guang will not join Real Madrid".
TOP3:Bengi
TOP4:Bang.
TOP5:Wolf.
TOP6:Smeb.
TOP7:Marin.
TOP8:Pary
TOP9:Peanut.
TOP10: Ambition.
After Nami became the world's No. 1 ADC in S4, ESPN struck again. A year later, it ranked LPL player Xu Ruoguang at the No. 1 spot on the list.
But on the surface, he is bragging about Xu Ruoguang, but in fact he is still bragging about SKT in S5.
Because the top five on this list are basically the winning five from S5.
In K1, only Ueno is in the top ten.
You know, K1 swept SKT in MSI.
One can imagine the composition of ESPN's editors.
Among the remaining K1 members, Scout ranked 11th, Ah Shui ranked 14th, Hirano Aya 16th, and Godv ranked 19th.
This list immediately aroused heated discussion.
"What kind of wild ranking? Didn't SKT already lose at MSI?"
"I can't accept anything other than first and second!"
"It's so funny, the ingredients are obvious!"
However, the LCK side has inexplicably entered into a civil war among SKT fans.
the reason is simple.
The cause was a malicious post from a Samsung fan.
"I am a fan of the SKT team. Let's discuss it rationally. If Emperor had not been driven away by some of the cancerous fans of SKT, would there be no suspense in the S6 World Championship?"
Not to mention that there are many cheats in the LPL, there are also a lot of cheats in the LCK.
Obviously, this string was successful.
There are many SKT fans who miss that SKT team. Being surrounded by him also makes me think,
Yes, if Emperor hadn't left, wouldn't SKT have won this year?
What threat does K1 have without Emperor? Without Emperor, K1 would not even exist as a team!
So, didn’t SKT also win MSI?
Is it like this now?
It's all the fault of faker's toxic fans!
However, faker fans are also very aggrieved.
It's not like every Faker fan has ever scolded Emperor. Most of the fans are sensible, and only a small part are crazy.
You are now blaming all the blame for Emperor's departure on us faker fans. This is unreasonable.
Besides, we can’t keep the Emperor if he wants to leave.
However, fans of other players don't think so.
So, the melee began.
Whenever Xu Ruoguang performs well, faker fans will be bullied online.
It's very real.
Kangba and Hupu forums have also started to predict the S6 World Championship.
Most fans are not particularly optimistic.
Although, K1 seems to have very good strength.
But you didn’t even defeat me in the K1 finals.
You don't seem to be dominant at all.
LGD was still dominant last year, but they were beaten like that.
Can your K1 be successful?
Some LPL fans sometimes have this bad habit.
Sometimes you are too proud, and sometimes you are too inferior.
We lost last year, and this year I just want to relegate the participating teams to dust.
I won last year, and if I was crushed, I would have wanted to raise my tail to the sky.
LGD lost miserably last year and they didn't really believe in K1 anymore.
Ah Shui looked a little less confident.
This is his first year competing in the World Championship, so it’s normal to be nervous.
Is it possible that we are really too good at 8?
Hearing his question, Xu Ruoguang smiled.
"Believe in yourself, don't be inflated, we can do it!"
"Why are you always worried about this thing? The summer version and the World Championship version are not the same version. You will only know if it works or not after you play it!"
"Are you scared?"
Ah Shui snorted and said, "I'm sure I'm not a coward."
"Then it's over."
Xu Ruoguang's little bear spread his hands.
Time passed bit by bit, and the qualifying stage of the S6 Global Finals began.
This year’s competition prize money has been greatly increased compared to before.
The reason is very simple. The designer once promised that the new champion series limited skin, Champion's Hidden Calamity, which was inspired by the double calamity battle between Faker and Ryu, was born.
25% of the sales of this skin and corresponding accessories will be included in the prize pool of the S6 Global Finals.
At the same time, we also launched the sale of icons for participating teams in the World Championship. For every icon sold, a certain sales share will be given to the corresponding participating team.
It can be said that the prize money for winning this year is undoubtedly higher than any previous World Championship.
Another point is that after three years, the global finals will be held in the United States again.
The S6 Global Finals begins in the group stage at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.
Then moves to the Chicago Theater for the quarterfinals.
Then to Madison Square Garden in New York for the semifinals.
The finals will return to the Staples Center in Los Angeles on the West Coast.
Here, summoners around the world will witness together the 2016 world champion lifting the trophy.
In addition, from God’s perspective, there is another first record.
Germany's largest sports TV station will choose to broadcast the S6 finals live.
SPORT1 (German Sports 1) is Germany's largest sports station.
On October 21, SPORT1 announced that they will broadcast the semi-finals and finals of the 2016 Global Finals live on television.
SPORT1 claimed that they had reached a cooperation with Riot Games, the developer of League of Legends, and invited the best League of Legends analysts and guests in Germany to participate in this live broadcast, and all program content will be free and open to the public.
Finally, Riot Games announced a partnership with Coca-Cola to bring the S6 Finals to theaters
Recently, Coca-Cola Esports announced that the 2016 Global Finals will be broadcast in major theaters with partnerships in Europe and the United States.
In order to make the finals even more spectacular, Coca-Cola Esports officials have established cooperative relationships with many cinemas across Europe and North America to provide the best viewing environment for esports audiences.
This cooperation between Riot Games and Coca-Cola Esports can be said to be a bold attempt. It is also the first time in history that the broadcast of an esports game will be moved into movie theaters.
No matter how you look at it, Riot Games has huge ambitions for this S6 global finals.
They want to further expand the influence of e-sports and popularize the concept of e-sports.
Only if the league is run better can the League of Legends game expand its influence and become more enduring.
This time S6 is their attempt.
For a long time, games have been considered to be the main factor affecting the growth of teenagers.
Many people attribute children's problems to games, but ignore some objective factors.
Because I have to make money, I don’t have time to take care of it.
Because there is no time to take care of them, the children will play games, fight or skip school without supervision.
Is this all a game problem?
There are problems with the game, but it's certainly not the main problem.
Parental factors definitely exist objectively.
Games have always been stigmatized, and many people blame their inability to discipline their children on games.
It can't speak anyway.
And not only games were stigmatized, but also unscrupulous things like Yuzhang Academy were born under this situation.
It is difficult to reverse the general environment.
However, times are always evolving.
When the new generation has the right to speak and becomes the core force of society, everything may turn around.
Of course it's too early to say this, it's only S6 now.
On September 24th, the entire K1 team arrived at the airport and prepared to leave for the United States.
On the way, uncles and aunts who didn't know what they were doing were very surprised when they saw them dressed in S6.
"Young man, what are you doing here?"
What does it look like when S6 comes out with Conquest?
The overall color is rose red, with tycoon gold Chinese dragon embroidery.
Young people may think it is very vulgar, but adults think it is just right.
Damn it, when the adults saw this group of people at the airport, they instantly felt that they were on to something big.
Ah Shui's face turned slightly red, "We are going to play a game."
"Oh! That's awesome! Come on, young man!"
The aunt immediately praised her. Although she didn’t know what the competition was, she just praised her and that was it.
After experiencing this episode, the K1 team members felt that they were inexplicably burdened with a sense of mission.
At two o'clock in the morning on September 25th, K1 arrived in San Francisco.
There are only four days left until the game starts!
