Two weeks later, the three representative team members of the LPL also ended their short vacations and returned to the base to start special training.
On the eve of the S game, each team is intensively analyzing the game version, adjusting the BP plan, and even focusing on the whole world.
This S7 World Championship is bound to become a battle between dragons and tigers.
Lao Gan Daddy's coaching team has also been working overtime for several days, watching the game videos of the seeded players in each division in the summer split, trying to analyze the most advantageous style of play.
Although the work was relatively heavy, no one complained.
The players also started training as soon as they came back, playing at least one BO5 training match every day to ensure everyone's competitive status.
Simply analyzing the players' status, Lao Gan Daddy undoubtedly has the highest morale among all teams.
Even Wei Shen is practicing hard without thinking about anything else.
"Coach, the version changes on the eve of this World Championship are not very fast. I feel that this is strengthening the LCK division."
A member of the coaching staff smiled bitterly and handed the completed analysis to Lu Haoran, which was written densely.
Lu Haoran raised his eyebrows and read the analysis report carefully. He seemed to have a confident feeling.
"That's not necessarily true. It's also good for our LPL division. Haha, don't be afraid. Just practice hard. At least BP won't let you suffer."
Only coach Lu Haoran dared to say such bold words.
If he were the coach of another team, he would probably be criticized to death, especially after one mistake, there is a high probability that he would become a classic black joke.
But when it comes to coach Lu Haoran, no one can laugh at him, and there is no way to laugh at him.
Because coach Lu Haoran has never failed, this is strength!
Lu Haoran squinted his eyes slightly, returned to his seat, and carefully analyzed the version changes based on the online information.
The competition version will adopt the 7.18 version currently used in the Chinese server. This version has strengthened many heroes and also made many cuts.
The more noteworthy among them are undoubtedly these heroes with relatively strong rhythm and LCK style.
Fiona, the Peerless Swordswoman!
Coach Lu Haoran listed this hero first and wrote it down in his notebook.
Jian Ji has always been the signature single lane hero in the LCK division. Facing the single lane, the LPL region also seems a little exhausted and difficult to resist. Moreover, Jian Ji is relatively restrained in the tank top laner. The tank hero top laner has always been the characteristic of the LPL division.
This time, Sword Queen's enhancement is quite good, with a passive acceleration effect added, and additional triggers within the range of her ultimate move, which greatly enhances Sword Queen's single-band ability and single-kill pursuit ability.
Lancer Lucian!
This hero has been weakened, and the early CD of the E skill has been greatly strengthened. Mid laner Lucian is indeed a bit too hot, and now he needs to cool down a lot.
I guess there should be no strong-minded person who would choose Lucian among the three choices, right?
In terms of other equipment, Gargoyle Plate Armor has been weakened to a certain extent.
At first glance, the updates before the World Championship are really beneficial to the LCK region.
But coach Lu Haoran shook his head and moved his gaze to another piece of equipment.
Hot incense burner!
Only those who have experienced it know how powerful this piece of equipment is.
The additional increase in lifesteal and attack speed makes AD almost equivalent to having two pieces of equipment, which is very powerful in early confrontation.
But now, none of the players participating in the World Championships, including the coaches, have noticed this piece of equipment.
That's because the A monster who promoted the Cense Burner monster system in the LCK server was banned by Lu Haoran!
That's right, Monster A was handcuffed and taken away immediately, and he was asked to use Wei Shen's account to play online games. He will not come out to rank in the near future.
This kid doesn't talk about being idle while ranking, but he stares at the support equipment like the incense burner every day. How can he not be discovered by others about the power of the incense burner?
Fortunately, Lu Haoran had traveled through time and had to get this kid out of the way in advance, so as not to cause any serious problems.
This hot incense burner will also become the secret weapon of the LGD team.
The strongest system is the system that no one knows about. When the time comes, the LCK will be caught by surprise.
"That's almost it."
Coach Lu Haoran is ready. This time S7 is sure to amaze the world.
At this time, Wei Shen came over with a smile and said: "Coach, I want to play online games. I feel like I am invincible. Teacher Da Fei, crazy little P, crazy little hat, I can destroy them in minutes."
As soon as these words came out, everyone had expressions of contempt.
Good boy, you really dare to say that, you are so thick-skinned.
Coach Lu Haoran didn't say anything, and just looked at Wei Shen in front of him with a smile, staring at him with some fear in his heart.
"Ahem, coach, don't look at me like that, I'm a little panicked." Wei Shen took a few steps back, now a little timid.
The reason why I jumped like this just now was because I lost in the ranking game and happened to bet with the wolf next to me to guess the winner, so I came over to play a big adventure.
Everyone looked at you like you're asking for more blessings. Wei Shen is too courageous.
Immediately afterwards, coach Lu Haoran touched his chin and said: "You want to play online games, right? It's okay, it's not impossible. I'm a reasonable person. Let's do this. Have you seen Galio? Go and play three hundred Galios for me.
From today on, all your ranks will be Galio, including training matches."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Shen's eyes widened and he almost vomited blood.
Galio?
That's right?
"Coach, why don't you change a hero? Yasuo or Yasuo will do. If it doesn't work, Ice will do. I really don't want to play Galio. This hero is so stupid. He's not good at all. He's just a nanny."
, there are more idiots in rank than teammates, I don’t want to use ultimate support.”
Wei Shen looked sad, thinking that a player like him who could perform C would actually want to play as a nanny like Galio.
It’s still three hundred, which makes me blush just thinking about it.
However, coach Lu Haoran refused to give in at all, "That won't work, weren't you very arrogant just now? You kicked Feike and punched Ah P, just Galio, or you can use Galio to kill Feike alone
, then you don’t need to practice any more and can go play online games.”
After saying this, Lu Haoran turned around and stopped looking at him.???...
This matter is settled.
"What a sin!"
Wei Shen shouted and could only return to his seat and began his journey to Galio.
I'm afraid that when I see the hero Galio in the future, my face will turn green.
However, this is coach Lu Haoran’s tactics.
This giant statue that reaches the sky will not become a stumbling block for S7 this time!
Because of me, Lu Haoran!
With the incense burner monster system and Galio, I don’t believe I can’t deal with you in the LCK.
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Ming, go back and practice more soft assistants, especially the hot incense burner. Have you seen it? It should be the first item to be sold after the shoes are sold. The sooner the better, you know?"
"Well, there is also Brother Ma. If you practice this hero Xia, you will definitely be able to play. This is a popular hero."
…
Under coach Lu Haoran’s point-to-point assignments, everyone in Lao Gan Daddy found the direction of training.
[Reading updates are slow to load, there are ads, and chapters are incomplete. Please exit Reading and read again!]
The rest of the coaching team were also shocked. Coach Lu Haoran’s training was so unbelievable that he was able to pinpoint a certain piece of equipment and a certain hero!
This is the confidence that belongs to coach Lu Haoran. He knows that these will become the favorites in the S7 competition.
Even coach Lu Haoran specifically warned: "Well, you all have to listen carefully. These training contents are forbidden to be spread to outsiders, you know? Don't even mention it, it's top secret!"
Everyone also nodded, how dare they challenge coach Lu Haoran.
Xiao Ming and Ma Ge immediately formed a team and started ranking. Although they didn’t quite understand Coach Lu Haoran’s intentions, could this scorching incense burner be able to change their fate against the odds?
However, out of trust in the coach, everyone still followed the instructions and everyone was training intensely.
Coach Lu Haoran looked at his masterpiece and smiled knowingly.
The more than ten days of special training before the game went by in a flash.
On September 23, 2017, the S7 World Championship Qualifiers officially started at the Beihu Wucheng Sports Center.
The third seeds in each major region, including the RNG team, will compete for the qualifying spots together.
For the RNG team, this is a powerful weapon that kills a chicken with a sledgehammer. Several wild card teams can fight effortlessly.
There are almost no teams from the four major regions that have overturned in the playoffs, and the third seed is almost 100% guaranteed to miss the main game.
The popularity of the qualifying rounds was not high, and it was basically a one-sided beating by RNG. The strength of the wild card teams and the four major regions was very different, and it would not be possible to catch up in a short while.
Coach Lu Haoran was still busy with the final training, and the entire gang didn’t watch the game, but only listened to the game results occasionally.
The teams that break through the playoffs will join the teams that have entered the main draw to form 16 teams. The 16 teams will be divided into four groups and compete in a double round-robin BO1 format.
The first round robin will be from October 5th to October 8th.
The second round robin will be from October 12th to October 15th.
And it is still the play-in period in September, and the major teams still have enough time to adjust their status. Of course, this requires excluding the third seeds in each major competition area.
But the third seeds also have an advantage. They can pass the play-in rounds to ensure their competitive status.
After all, many teams have not played a game since the end of the summer split, so it is inevitable that they will be a little rusty.
After that, within the four groups, two teams from each group can qualify and enter the knockout rounds.
The knockout round is naturally the BO5, which is also the quarterfinals and will be held at the Guangnan Sports Center.
As for the semi-finals, it will be at the Oriental Sports Center, which is also the largest economic city in China.
The final is the most exciting because of the special location.
Capital National Stadium!
The name may be unfamiliar, but when it comes to Bird's Nest, everyone knows it.
Yes, the Bird's Nest is the venue for the finals. It's no wonder that the commentators want to see both LPL teams enter the finals.
This represents a supreme honor!
…
Another week, in Lao Gan Daddy’s base.
Everyone gathered together, turned on the live online TV, and switched to the LPL official channel.
The S7 qualifying round has ended. As expected, the RNG team has entered the group stage. The other three teams are the third seeds of EU and NA, as well as a wild card team.
As for the LCK third seed, they entered the main draw directly without participating in the qualifying rounds.
"Why hasn't the draw started yet? It's so frustrating. RNG had so much fun in the finals. Uzi got another five kills and played VN. I also want to win."
Wei Shen looked helpless and looked at coach Lu Haoran next to him from time to time.
Coach Lu Haoran sneered, still want C?
In this World Championship, let me play Galio with peace of mind and protect my teammates!
Regarding the incense burner system, Lao Gan dad has now completely mastered it and is at the forefront of all teams.
At this time in another world where the incense burner system has not yet been leaked, coach Lu Haoran is one version ahead of the world!
"It's begun, it's begun."
"The factory and the broiler are out, good guys, isn't the guest AJ? EDG didn't make it to the World Championship, so that's okay."
"Haha, the factory still has to come up, after all, we are the representative of the LPL division."
Everyone stared at the big screen, where the two guests had already appeared.
After confirmation by the Riot official in charge of the scene, the lottery started soon.
Everyone is keeping an eye on the front. This lottery is also very important. If they are really assigned to a death group, it will be troublesome.
The No. 1 pool will be drawn first, which contains the No. 1 seeds from each competition area. According to regulations, the No. 1 seeds cannot be placed in the same group.
The director rolled his eyes, stirred among the four balls in the pool, and selected one at random.
After slowly opening it, he showed it to the person in front of him.
LGD!
Good guy, I got LGD in the first place, and the factory director himself couldn't help but laugh.
The first LGD team!
"This stinky hand, it's so stinky. It's us who are coming up. It feels a bit bad. Those who just appear are usually villains and will be eliminated in the top 16."
"Yes, but I believe not, because we have coach Lu Haoran."
"With Coach Lu here, we, LGD, have nothing to fear. We, LGD, are invincible!"
Before Lu Haoran could speak, several members of Lao Ganba's team were already shouting for their own entertainment.
Come on, you are indeed from an optimistic family!
With Wei Shen taking the lead, the whole team has a good atmosphere and is not nervous at all.
On the big screen, the No. 1 seeds of other groups were also determined.
The second group, LZ team.
The third group, G2 team.
The fourth group, FW team.
"It's kind of interesting. The factory director beat the LGD team. I remember..."
Lu Haoran touched his nose, but he didn't say what he said next, but kept it in his heart.
In my previous world timeline, the number one seed was EDG. Now EDG was eliminated, but LGD was suddenly drawn.
It seems that there must be 7 meanings somewhere!
But at least, the famous 10,000 comeback scene will not qualify. I, LGD, are not EDG!
If LGD doesn't kill the unknowns, let SKT come over!
Just as he was talking, the live broadcast room manufacturer was a bad guy again and really got SKT.
Pool 2 of the second group, SKT, AHQ!
LGD was paired with these two teams, which also caused an uproar.
Is this considered a death group?
But there is another miserable one over there.
The third group, G2, SSG, WE!
WE was caught between the two teams, which was a bit embarrassing!
This is the real group of death!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing. LGD's draw wasn't bad at all, at least it was much better than WE.
