The summer split is about to begin, but LOL has updated its version, which shocked the whole world. This new version has changed so much that it has affected all teams.
Although it is said that the most popular teams in the S competition will be targeted by Riot Games every year and will be weakened to prevent the emergence of a dominant team, the new version was updated just after EDG won MSI.
The main reason is that the top laner is too tough. The basic team is to resist pressure on the top lane, and the jungler will focus on the mid and bottom lane, giving AD time to develop, so that AD can be equipped and take over the game in the later stage.
This style of play is too simple, and the game lacks enjoyment. The fists directly strengthen the fighters. I hope there will be more confrontation on the top lane, rather than a mix of meat and meat.
The runes have been fully updated. In order to strengthen, speed up the pace, and encourage fighting, the previous talents of 18-12-0 were replaced and turned into warriors such as War Zeal, Bloodthirsty Lord, Thunder Alliance, and Immortal Grip.
, a combination of three rune cornerstones for mages and tanks!
Huge changes have directly affected all teams, especially teams like EDG, which like to use tanks on the top lane. This wave of changes is equivalent to a huge weakening of EDG.
The ecological environment of the LPL top laner is also dominated by meat. Now starting from the summer split, warriors will be used. The buffs of warriors are too great and they are meta heroes. Moreover, Sword Princess and Nok have undergone major changes, making them the darlings of the meta.
The outer circle of Nok's Q is very large. If it scratches people, it will restore health. The more enemies it scrapes, the more health it will restore. If Nok's remaining health hits five people with Q, he can directly restore full health, which is a bit too abnormal!
Sword Princess is no longer the kind of mindless being who kills the back row in an instant, but has become a very powerful being with crispy skin and meat attack. These two heroes are able to defeat the top lane tanks, like the big tree, and the laning is direct.
Being beaten violently.
Each team used tanks as top laners at the beginning of the training match, but they were killed by warriors.
Everyone found that the advantage of the top lane in this version is big enough that it can really affect the situation of the battle. The top lane warrior can become a father.
Each team also began to use warrior top laners. The tank top laners were completely helpless, and the fattened up Nokk's ultimate move was revealed. When fighting in a team, he was like a god of war. He was invincible with blood rage and could kill him with one axe!
However, not everyone can play the warrior top laner well. Many people can't adapt and can only continue to play tanks. Generally speaking, the version favors warriors, but it also depends on the player's strength.
EDG's record in training matches is very high for both warriors and tanks. They are a team that adapts to the version relatively quickly, and their mid and bottom double C's are really strong.
...
"Stop asking me which rune stones are useful, isn't it obvious?" Chen Lang communicated with water friends during the live broadcast.
"Entering the game, all ten people have Thunder Lord talents. You ask me which one is more useful?"
"Come on, let's take a look. The auxiliary Niu Tou has Thunder, Thunder for All. This talent consumes too much blood, and the version is geared towards warriors. I advise everyone to play Nok and Sword Queen quickly, and you will be invincible with the advantage."
"That's it for today's live broadcast. There will be no live broadcast for the next few days. The summer competition is about to begin. I hope you will support us then. Thank you." Chen Lang said goodbye to the audience.
Because of the change in the cornerstone of the runes and the arrival of the Thunder League, everyone found that the entire rune was very useful. A set of auxiliary bullheads with two companies can launch the thunder, which can knock out a quarter of the ADC's health. Do it twice in the lane and set up Ignite.
You can kill AD...
Join if you can't beat them. Originally AD used War Zeal and Bloodthirsty Lords, but in the end they all became Thunder. On the game loading screen, the talents of the ten Thunder Lords are very conspicuous.
“It feels like time flies by so fast, and the summer season will start in the blink of an eye.”
At the end of the training match, JackeyLove sat on a chair and chatted with his teammates. After the game, they would review the game to find out the problems before going to rest.
This is also the habit of a few people. After all, they have just entered LPL from LSPL. How can they do it if they don’t work hard?
Especially after watching the LPL finals and MSI, they found that these teams in the top league are indeed very strong, playing far more exciting games than the LSPL, and there is also a big gap in decision-making and operations.
"How are you? Do you feel a lot of pressure?" Chen Lang asked with a smile.
nod.
Although he is very mature in his heart, he is still a 15-year-old boy, so nervousness is inevitable, especially when he has to compete with top professional players on the same stage, which puts even greater pressure.
His favorite ADC player IMP is also on this stage. Being able to compete with his idol on the same stage makes JackeyLove feel happy but also feels huge pressure.
lqs echoed: "MSI watched the game between the two teams and really thought it was too fierce!"
"BO5 is very exciting, especially the last game. If I go up and play, I think everyone will be confused. It is difficult to play in training matches and against other teams. Let alone playing against these top teams, the operation and operation are really full."
.”
TheShy and Peanut listened to the translator and agreed.
TheShy is really looking forward to it. He personally prefers laning, so he likes to play against people who are strong in laning. He is very excited to be able to enter the LPL and compete with top players.
As a jungler, Peanut needs to coordinate the overall situation. His main observation is the rhythm issue, and he is most concerned about the operation and rhythm of the game.
"European and American teams are still a bit poor as a whole, with a lot of operational mistakes and mediocre operations. The LCK is still the enemy this year." JackeyLove analyzed.
"Don't think so much. The LPL hasn't even started yet, so you're thinking about other regions?" lqs smiled and hit JackeyLove.
"I believe we can encounter it. Jack will just treat it as understanding other competition areas in advance." Chen Lang said with a smile.
"Haha." Everyone laughed.
"In other words, we and QG are also destined to meet again on the LPL stage in the summer split."
With that said, everyone discussed the promotion and relegation matches of this year's spring split.
"I didn't expect SHR to be downgraded." lqs was quite surprised.
This team was the runner-up last year, and there are no major changes in the personnel this year, except for the departure of UZI. Who would have thought that in just half a year, it would go from the world runner-up to an LSPL team!
After the LPL finals, there will be promotion and relegation matches. The four teams with the last points in the spring split will play the game. The winning team can retain the LPL spot, and then the losing team will have to play the promotion and relegation matches with the LSPL teams.
Teams from the LPL and LSPL will compete. If they win, they will be relegated. If they lose, they will fall into the LSPL. The LSPL team will advance to the LPL.
Chen Lang and his team were directly promoted to the LPL because they were the LSPL champions, so QG went to play promotion matches with the LPL teams. If they won, QG would enter the LPL, but if they lost, they would be relegated.
Generally speaking, LPL teams that compete in promotion matches cannot perform well in the LPL league, but they can still dominate in secondary leagues like the LSPL.
However, the QG team was very strong and finally defeated SHR and successfully advanced to the LPL!
Originally there were two royal families in the LPL, one was king and the other was SHR. Both teams were struggling this season. King team wanted Chen Lang to join them very much. AD Wuxin and mlxg in the team tried to persuade them, but
Chen Lang finally refused.
Although the King team has a poor record, it has great potential. The new jungler mlxg is eye-catching. Wuxin AD is also very stable. It is similar to an AD like Xiaoshan. He does not jump in the lane and has a sound in team fights. The team has a bright future.
good.
After the Spring Split, the King team also acquired the GT team and renamed it RNG. The reason for acquiring GT was because of the existence of the mid laner xiaohu, a domestic assassin mid laner who is very good and has great potential. For xiaohu, the King team directly acquired GT.
At this point, RNG was established and became the only royal team in the LPL. SHR fell into the secondary league, which is in line with Riot's new rules. A league does not allow one club to have two teams.
In fact, SHR's paper strength is not bad. Nami, the world's number one AD in S4, has joined. However, Nami's skills have been greatly reduced after eating beef noodles. The jungler is still Saint Monk Insek, and UZI's queen support zero is the top laner.
Coke, Chinese single corn.
The S4 world runner-up team fell directly in the S5 spring split and went to the bottom team. In the end, it lost to QG in the promotion and relegation match and was relegated to LSPL.
I have to say, this is a very sad thing.
Who would have thought that with only one UZI leaving and the other four teammates remaining the same, the team's performance would have dropped so much, which also shows that the LPL division is much more competitive this season.
Some people think that UZI can lead such a team to win the runner-up place in S. This shows how strong UZI is. After UZI left, he was relegated to LSPL. This also shows from the side that the number one ADC in the world in S4 should be UZI. After all, Nami is in
SHR led the team to be relegated to LSPL, and UZI led the team to second place. What a sharp contrast!
But UZI joined OMG and was criticized in the first round of the playoffs. If it is so good, why is the OMG team's performance so poor and not as good as before? Doesn't it mean that UZI's strength is not as good as Xiaoshan? Use the control variable method of UZI fans to deny it
The strength of UZI.
"This shows that the LPL has become more competitive. We must take every game seriously in the summer split, win every game as much as possible, get more points and play in the bubble games~" Chen Lang said with a smile.
"That's right, it's difficult to win the championship. EDG and LGD are too strong. It's more practical to enter the playoffs to gain points and compete in the bubble competition to compete for the last spot." JackeyLove nodded.
"QG is still a strong rival. SHR is also an LPL team after all. This time I feel vulnerable in front of them. QG has improved again." lqs said.
"After a BO5, we have indeed made a lot of progress. Their linkage is very good. I think QG's strength can be ranked in the middle of the LPL." Chen Lang gave his own opinion.
Xiaohuahua nodded and said: "Their mid-field coordination is very good. In fact, their team has a better understanding of each other than ours. If we didn't have the advantage in the lane, it would not be so easy to win against QG."
"That's right. Their cooperation is indeed better."
Several people agreed, mainly because Doinb and Swift's Chinese is so good that they can basically communicate with their teammates without any obstacles. This is something Xiaohuanuo and TheShy can't do yet. They can only speak some simple Chinese.
The time I came here is too short, and I am still learning. I spend a lot of time training every day, and I only have a short time to learn Chinese. This kind of progress is good.
"We need to strengthen teamwork. Our online abilities are very good. I think there is not much difference with LPL." Chen Lang did not belittle himself and also talked about the advantages of his own team.
"I like to develop and hit anyone I want."
TheShy showed his iconic smile. He just likes to play in the lane. He is very comfortable playing in CP, which is more enjoyable than playing in ranked. When playing in ranked, he plays very aggressively. The other jungler always likes to catch him, and his teammates
Don't worry about him, he's either a super god or a super ghost.
Not to mention the jungle Peanut Gang in the game, Chen Lang also comes in the middle, and he can always jump over the tower to kill the opponent, allowing him to grow comfortably.
Everyone looked at the giggling TheShy speechlessly. Do you like growing up?
You cross the line at every turn to suppress people, why doesn't the opposite jungler catch you?
"JackeyLove, lqs, you two have to fight in the bottom lane. The bottom lane of LPL is much stronger than that of LSPL." Chen Lang warned.
JackeyLove patted his chest: "Don't worry, we will withstand it and it won't become a breakthrough. When we really can't withstand it, we will call you to help us."
If you can't beat them, you still can't shake them?
Who doesn’t know how to call me daddy?
lqs said lightly: "Fortunately OMG is gone, otherwise there would be another bottom lane that is difficult to defeat."
"Haha." JackeyLove laughed.
"Truthfully." Chen Lang teased with a smile.
UZI was hidden by OMG. OMG's laning ability in the bottom lane is not that strong. Although smlz is not bad, its laning ability is indeed not as good as UZI's.
Although UZI tied up his teammates, he had to admit that his laning ability was the best in the world, and few AD players could match it. However, this was originally his advantage, but due to his personality, it turned into a disadvantage, and he became a drag on the team.
Leg reasons.
If he doesn't ask the jungler to always play around him, but uses his strong laning ability to gain an advantage and let the jungler help the mid and top, it will be of great help to the team. This is what OMG wanted when he introduced him.
Strong bot lane laning ability.
However, UZI's character is too violent. The team must play around him. The most important thing is that he has fun. It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses. This is a matter of his mentality and personality. Otherwise, his teammates would not help him choose in S4.
After getting Lucian, choose VN again, forcing Insek to use Lucian as a jungler...
"Come on, no team can be underestimated, especially our new team that has just climbed into the LPL." Chen Lang said.
When they watch the game, they analyze a lot. Some teams seem to be playing poorly and have poor strength, but that doesn't mean they will be in the same situation when playing against France.
Sometimes, when watching a game from God's perspective, I can actually see it very clearly, including when watching the players' operations. But when I only play in person, the feeling is different. Playing and watching are two different things.
Many times, the audience will think that this player is a good player and has problems with his operations. This is because from a God's perspective, when actually playing, the players will be nervous and affected by many aspects. Moreover, some operations may seem simple, but in fact
The game is not that simple, or even difficult.
...
LPL has received a lot of attention this year. Being able to defeat SKT to win the MSI also shows that the LPL championship team is stronger than the LCK. This battle also allowed the outside world to see the strength of the LPL league.
The LPL Summer Split has received more attention, not only from Chinese audiences, but also from some external networks and LCK audiences. No one dared to underestimate this division and won the first MSI championship.
The gold content of this competition is not low. Only the champions of the Spring Split of each division can participate. It is equivalent to selecting the strongest teams in the Spring Split of each division. EDG won the championship and officially entered the eyes of the world's LOL audience.
Many teams regard EDG as their top enemy and believe that this team will be the biggest opponent in the S game. No one thinks that they can't go to the World Championship. The team is very strong and entering the playoffs is definitely not a problem. They can make it by relying on points.
Not to mention that they may win the Summer Split and directly qualify for the No. 1 seed in the World Championship!
As the S4 world champion, PAWN once again won the MSI championship and defeated FAKER in a head-to-head battle, which also allowed his title of the world's number one mid laner to be mentioned again.
After winning the S tournament last year, when the host asked the audience who was the best mid laner in the world, the audience all shouted Feike's name loudly, which made PAWN very embarrassed.
Now, PAWN personally defeated FAKER, won the MSI championship, and won the game in a head-to-head battle. Who can still question his status as the world's number one mid laner?
Many people believe that PAWN may be able to win the world championship again this year, and IMP is also a strong contender. Both of them are members of Samsung White. Maybe the S5 World Championship will stage a civil war among the members of Samsung White?
If this is the case, then the LPL spring finals are not equivalent to the S finals?
The EDG club was very happy. They began to look forward to the S Championship. After winning the MSI championship, they did not take a long break and began to prepare for the summer split and prepare to enter the S Championship.
The championship that they failed to win last year has great hope to win this year. EDG management feels that they have touched the base of the championship trophy and are just a little short of winning the championship!
