Chapter 237: The three royal families are all pointing at the sword! (1/2)
"TheKing, say hello to everyone!"
Host Mo Han stood on the right side of Li Hao with a smile on his face.
"Hello everyone, I am Snaker mid laner TheKing."
In front of the camera, he waved politely.
"After this round of competition, Snake achieved an 11-game winning streak and even swept Group A and Group B in the BO3 format. With such a result, what do you want to say?"
Li Hao held the microphone in his hand, his fair face slightly serious:
"The record is indeed very good, and we want to continue to maintain it."
"However, in recent games, we have exposed many problems, which require attention. The summer split has been played for most of the season, and many teams have reached a high level. The recent games have been relatively difficult."
"The new version of the official trailer will be updated soon. It is difficult to predict the subsequent fluctuations. We will definitely encounter more and more challenges in the future."
"Everyone is very happy to get this kind of result, but our focus is still on the second half."
In front of the camera, Li Hao looked serious and spoke strictly.
However, what he stated is indeed true.
It has been revealed before that Brother Wolfberry likes to set off smoke bombs during post-game interviews..
But this time, even the major teams watching the live broadcast did not feel that Li Hao was still telling lies at this time.
Snake is the earliest beneficiary of the incense burner version. After all, they played the incense burner system one step ahead when they were in Brazil's MSI.
But now, they seem a little embarrassed under the incense burner system.
The previous dominance has also begun to decline.
In addition to saying that time is also destiny, it can also be said that the cause of tomorrow is the result of today.
In the past, Snake's absolute core was The King, but Incense Burner has made AD players in various major competitions hotter. The mid laner's influence is no longer that great.
If Riot does not make changes in the S7 World Championship, Snake's dominance of the LPL region from the spring split to the present will be completely changed after several version changes.
It is very difficult to win consecutive S championships.
SKT had a chance, but Snake came out of Los Angeles.
Became the biggest dark horse.
And Snake) originally had a very good chance.
But now...
This stock clearly has a downward trend.
For example, Snake played a terrifying blitz game more than a month ago, defeating his opponent in more than 20 minutes.
But now, the regular playing time is 35 minutes, but accidentally it is 40 minutes.
The difference can be imagined.
The general trend of the league has changed, and the chance of becoming the dark horse of S7 has become higher.
"TheKing, what are your expectations for the 2017 World Championship? What are the expectations for Team Snaker?"
Mo Han continued to ask.
"I think my outlook and the team's outlook are consistent."
"Snake's first goal is to get a spot to participate in the World Championship."
Mo Han asked many more questions, and Li Hao answered them one by one.
"TheKing, fans are very curious, if they want to stay in shape like you, how do they need to stay in shape?"
"Reasonable management of time and a lot of training." Li Hao's voice affirmed.
"On average, how long do you train for?"
"About 48 hours a day."
Mo Han was stunned, and then laughed.
Obviously, Brother Wolfberry was a little bit skinned.
[Ning is the time management instructor, right?] [I am a member of the anti-rolling alliance, Brother Wolfberry, now you are suspected of becoming the 'rolling king', come with me!] After Li Hao returned to the backstage, Chris said to
He gave a thumbs up.
"Brother Hao, you are full of crisis theories!"
"If I didn't know the truth, I might have been fooled by you."
"This is the effect we want."
Li Hao smiled: "However, what I told is indeed the truth."
"Just considering the course of recent games, my dominance is indeed much worse than before."
Zuo Wu came over carrying a black bag containing equipment: "This kind of crisis shaping is what we need."
"It's not a good thing to be targeted by fists."
"The changes in these two versions always feel like they are aimed at us."
When it came to the version, Chris looked depressed, "More than that, judging from some of the information released in version 7.15, it's not really good news for us."
“I don’t know what the World Championship version will be like.”
""
After the game on July 30, the LPL Summer Split entered the final round of group competition.
However, the official start time is August 3.
On the 31st, e-sports forums were filled with various discussions.
Snakef's 11-game winning streak was the first of them. Li Hao's words after the game caused the forum's views to be drawn in two directions.
Many people feel that Snake has indeed experienced the problems Li Hao mentioned, and that there will be a big crisis later.
Some die-hard fans firmly believe that Snake, who has discovered the problem, can quickly adjust it.
It can be seen that most people believe Li Hao's words.
Snakes fans are not as optimistic as before.
This day is August 1st.
Flandre was surfing the Internet, flipping through the forum pages, looking relaxed.
"Brother Hao, when I saw those comments, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed."
"normal."
Li Hao responded while cleaning his keyboard with a brush:
"Before, everyone's expectations of us were too high."
"You can easily read the reviews on the Internet and you will inevitably feel stressed."
Think about it, everyone expects you to win the championship.
If you accidentally take the blame, wouldn't you be called a fool?
What's more, S7 is still held in China, which is of great significance.
They are indeed chasing victory, but these victories are hard-won.
During the team's normal training days, these guys are very busy now and train very hard.
When fans turned their attention from the strong 11-game winning streak to the decline of Snakes' dominance, Li Hao felt that his smoke bomb was too perfect.
But they know it internally.
Snakes' decline in dominance is not a deliberate show of weakness, but a running-in strategy.
certainly…
Once conventional tactics fail and the situation cannot be opened.
Then tear off the disguise and just play with reality.
From 6 a.m. to 12 a.m. on August 2, all servers will be shut down.
Version 7.15, officially updated.
The first major change is the crab.
The good-looking magical girl Urgot has been remade and transformed into a fearless tank.
The 7.14 update of Kayn has fixed five bugs in a row.
Of course, Kayn's bug is nothing compared to Dragon King's bug.
The CD of Nami's Q skill is reduced by 2 seconds at all levels, which is greatly strengthened.
The damage of the War Goddess Q skill at all levels is increased by 10 points, strengthened.
The CD of Ezreal's Q skill is reduced, making it easier to stack Tears of the Goddess.
The CD of Jinx's W skill is reduced by 2 seconds at all levels, which is another wave of enhancements.
The equipment "Knight's Oath", which has been very popular during this period, has had its health value cut off this time, and its price-performance ratio has dropped significantly.
For late-game heroes like the Desert Emperor in the middle, the W skill damage is increased by 25 points in the mid-to-late game.
In addition, there are many versions of popular heroes that have been slightly axed.
However, none of the fiery AD heroes were killed.
After seeing the specific update results, each of the major teams showed expressions that this was indeed the case.
Even though Riot knew that the blazing incense burner was very hot, it had no intention of touching this piece of equipment. Instead of cutting AD, it strengthened other AD heroes.
We also strengthened the soft assist that is suitable for the Incense Burner, and weakened the Knight's Oath that is suitable for the hard assist.
This really adds fuel to the fire!
The Incense Burner Monster is very hot right now, but Fist wants to make it even hotter.
Don’t they still understand what this means?
The center of gravity of the alliance is tilted crazily towards the bottom lane.
According to traditional thinking, this approach is very inconsistent with Riot's balance manual.
However, many clubs smiled with satisfaction.
RNG Club, after seeing the changes, all the uniform staff smiled.
The little fat man rubbed his hands, indicating that he did not need load management and was about to go out!
The 200-pound VN seems to have ushered in his best season.
RNG officially releases news, Uzi will return next week!
The comments below are like entering the Sword Immortal Forum.
"Here comes the sword!"
"Here comes the sword!"
"Here comes the sword!"
In the EDG club, Abu and the factory director were on the left and right, holding the boy's shoulders, making the fish boy a little shy.
Iboy did not disappoint them. For more than half a year, EDG did not wait in vain.
When this talented AD who was valued by them logged in, this version that was as comfortable as a fish in water was online in just two days.
Could it be that this is destiny?
The omen of EDG's restoration of glory seems to have really arrived.
At five o'clock in the evening, EDG updated its website and added a picture of the boy standing with everyone.
[The end of the summer split is also a new journey!]
WE Club, their mood is even more wonderful.
Because the tactics WE have been implementing are very consistent with this version.
My honest and capable brother-in-law is in very good shape now.
This is also a very wonderful time for WE.
First you have to be handsome and then you have the sky. The cards are in hand to torture the gods. There is no need to argue to kill the gods in the middle, and the golden body dragon will blame the sky.
Former WE star Big Nose stepped out to cheer for the home team. His recent homepage update read:
"I went to the base last week. Brother-in-law Xiye and the others are in good condition and training harder than usual. When they came back from the intercontinental competition, I felt that this team was more energetic."
"It's really a pity that we lost to Snake in the last game. This is a very friendly version to WE. I think these young people can create new glory. I will always cheer for them. Please give me your support!"
Not long after this homepage update was posted, Joker clicked a like, and the senior colonel also clicked a like.
Moreover, the senior colonel also commented below:
"I watched Mystic's game last week and they played really well. Keep up the good work!"
The Yusan family is very active, and everyone is full of expectations.
It was as if each of them had found their own holy sword to victory.
The LPL division and the S7 World Championship format seemed to be completely torn apart as holy swords struck down from the sky.
A similar situation is happening in the LCK division.
Mr. Dai, Bang, Emperor Chi, and their teams all began to have their own thoughts.
Korean forums have also changed.
According to the canyon theory of relativity, speeding up when others are the same is equivalent to slowing down yourself.
If others suddenly strengthen, oneself will be weakened.
So, who is the most hurt?
That's right, Snake!
Snakef's duo is not bad either, and can completely play the bottom lane system.
However, this is definitely not Snake's strongest form.
Almost every league fan understands this.
The most critical factor in Snakei's ability to win consecutive championships is that tough man!
The absolute core system in the middle turns Snake? into a killing machine.
Judging from the current performance, Snaket, who has adapted to the version, will also be forced into the bottom lane system, which means that they have to put away their most powerful weapon.
Even though Snakej was still a top-grade horse later on, there are many top-grade horses in the league now.
The heroes rise together.
This season has suddenly become confusing!
"How cruel, these dog designs!"
In the Snaket Club, everyone was making complaints.
"Brothers, strengthen your training!"
"If they target us, we will kill them!"
"Yes, roll them up to death!"
""
The team members were not devastated, but instead were full of fighting spirit.
Looking at Brother Hao again, he was not affected at all.
Chris closed the door to the training room with a look of relief.
Li Hao pulled the update entry and saw a very eye-catching message.
[R Supreme Blade]
Cooling time: 110/85/60 seconds → 100/80/60 seconds. The sword girl has been strengthened!
On August 3, the eighth week of the LPL Summer Split officially started.
In the second round, DAN quickly pulled his hips, and IM regained face and completed the battle of revenge.
Athena sent out the plane, almost got a pentakill in the second game, and took DAN away in one wave.
2:0, the Korean second brother’s performance was remarkable, but he still suffered a bitter defeat.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Snake plays against NB.
The result was not surprising, NB had his head shaved.
Snake has intensified his efforts in cultivating Lin Weixiang, and this time he will still have a rotation with Brother Crystal.
However, Lin Weixiang is a bit unstable today.
The second game against NB lasted until 38 minutes, and they were almost overturned by NB.
Swift-Kayn left a deep impression on the audience.
On August 5th, Snake) played against DAN.
Snakep's two games were shortened to less than 30 minutes.
DAN was easily swept by the Snakes.
However, in the 13 games played so far, DAN has only won 3 times. This young team has been beaten and has long lost the dark horse appearance at the beginning of the season.
It's true that Snakef's tactics are affected by the version, but it's not something that DAN in this state can defeat.
August 13, Snake) versus IM.
This round of competition made Snakes fans uneasy.
IM, who had just been swept by EDG last week, not only reached the third game with Snake, but was even very anxious.
In the first round of the game, except for the sudden explosion of quality inspector Jin Jiao, Snake. made substitutions in the three games.
AD is rotating between them, and Stance and Li Hao are also rotating.
This is hard to understand.
"Why are you letting Brother Hao serve as a substitute? Is it load management?"
"You're not hurt! God, don't be like this!"
"It shouldn't be hurt. I saw Brother Hao playing live broadcast a few days ago. Snakel must have something planned."
""
In the third game, after Li Hao came on the stage, he used a rock bird to roam around and catch Beng M from the bottom lane.
At 34 minutes and 12 seconds, the IM base was bulldozed.
2:1, Snakei still won 14 consecutive victories in the BO3 game.
Although I lost the second game with Attitude, it had little to do with Attitude. It was because the bottom lane was targeted too hard by Kayn, the IM jungler from Sks.
It is not clear to the outside world why Li Hao wants to rotate with Stance, but for S7, Snakei has his own plan.
Li Hao remembers very clearly that version 7.15 is just a preview.
As the World Championship approaches, there will be more and more fist moves.
If you want to achieve your goals in S7, you will definitely not be able to do it without making the most adequate preparations.
Li Hao also watched the recent LCK games.
SKT's momentum is quite strong!
Bang was so good back then, but now Bang is holding back his energy.
It's really difficult for this person to work hard.
In the S7 arena, the bottom lane is very important.
Due to the impact of an injury some time ago, Gangzi's condition has been ups and downs recently.
Lin Weixiang's condition is similar. After all, there are only so many real games.
So, these will become X factors.
Although the posture has not been reduced in the usual training matches, the number of appearances has been small, and the feel of the game needs to be maintained.
If something unexpected happens in the S7 arena, or there is a deadlock.
Then, they will launch the ultimate strategy!
The team had enough plans and even did a rehearsal.
Therefore, no matter what the outside world says now, Snake will continue to implement their ideas.
Everyone has only one goal, and that is S7!
SnakeT officially responded to some fan questions.
The most critical question is whether Li Hao was injured. Fans ask this question every day.
Snake' official release:
[Brother Hao is not injured, please rest assured.]
[The recent games have been intensive and the players are under great pressure. In order to keep Brother Hao in better condition, we have chosen load management.]
[Brother Crystal and LWx are both our important AD members. In this version where AD is about to shine, their rotation is benign.
The club has made a lot of considerations, and Brother Crystal suffered an injury to his hand some time ago. He is very important to us, and Lwx needs to take on more responsibilities at this time.]
On August 17th, the tenth week of the LPL Summer League starts on time!
This is the last week of the LPL summer regular season, and all points rankings will be locked during this week.
Riot's meta changes have made Snakes look troubled.
Snake fans have been worried for a long time,
But on the afternoon of the 17th, Snake gave a new answer.
Li Hao took out the powerful Enchantress in the lane and replayed the most primitive way of roaming and pushing the lane.
Fenfenl's fan mother suffered two waves of chains in the early stage and failed to line up.
When this newcomer faced Fmvp, his operation was somewhat deformed, perhaps due to nervousness.
Through Li Hao's roaming, not only Sofm was caught and killed by Snake in the jungle, but Fury and Yoon in the bottom lane were also caught.
This game played very quickly. SNG was leveled in 24 minutes and 34 seconds.
In the second game, Li Hao still played.
This time, the Enchantress was banned, and Snake helped Li Hao lock the rock bird in seconds on the first floor of the blue square.
Using the same routine, using the current version of Rock Bird's T1-level push ability, Fenfen can't control Li Hao online at all.
Cuihua's wine barrels hit consecutive targets, further expanding Li Hao's advantage.
Sofm didn't do much to help in the middle lane except to help with lane grabbing.
There was originally a chance of counter-crouching, but Fenfen: made a mistake in his position and was severely disabled by Snake:, so he didn't dare to take action.
This has caused SNG to remain in a passive situation.
Then, Li Hao brought the advantage to the wing.
Snaket, who had a third-line advantage, once again played an efficient game with the help of Rift Herald.
23 minutes and 19 seconds!
The familiar blitzkrieg seems to be back!
And Snake also won 15 consecutive victories this season!
Just as the Snakes fans were cheering and celebrating, the prepared fist showed version 7.16.
After seeing the version update content, many people have only one voice in their minds.
"Summoner, do you know what the most powerful weapon is?"
"That's right, it's a patch~!"
…
PS. There will be another update tonight. I have posted nearly 10,000 words in the past two days, which is pretty cool.
Also, I advise everyone to go to bed early and don't wait.
