Chapter 264: Post-season Grouping, Fighting against Water Ghosts
In professional leagues, it is very important to study the opponent's playing style, tactical system, and hero strength.
But not the most important.
The most important thing is always to build your own things well.
He understands everything and knows everything, but he himself is not strong enough, just like Wang Yuyan in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils who knows all the martial arts in the world... He still can't beat anyone and can only die with understanding at most.
on the contrary.
As long as you are strong enough, even if you don't consider anything and just rush forward, you can still defeat the opponent with your force.
Abu made the introduction because he had just watched the LCK playoffs and found that the performance of the LZ team was indeed outstanding, so he let the EDG members know that there was such an imaginary enemy.
After the meeting, the free ranking stage begins.
The EDG team’s rule is to guarantee a minimum rank of 12 games per day.
Don't think this number is small.
BO5 training matches and replays take up three to four hours, and the waiting time in high-ranking segments is relatively long. Even in the Korean server where professional players gather, it is common to wait for more than ten to twenty minutes during non-prime time.
In addition to practicing secretly on a secondary trumpet, it is normal for me to sit in front of the computer for fourteen or fifteen hours a day.
The World Championship is approaching.
EDG used a trick.
Let A Shui and iBoy play a game and make an exchange.
They are all in the training room, using the same brand of peripherals, so there is no need to log in repeatedly, just slide to each other's position with the gaming chair.
The reason why it is so troublesome and we don’t just change the account directly is because there are very obvious differences between the styles of A Shui and iBoy.
Combining the performance in the game, we can definitely see the clues.
With one person playing one game, it is very confusing.
As professional leagues have developed to this day, statistics on players' habits have been refined to an almost extreme level.
In addition to the regular data such as the time and position of placing wards, the timing of returning to the city, and habitual actions, there are also equipment details in favorable and unfavorable situations in the early stage, lane handling, the balance between development and support in the mid-term, and output habits in team battles.
And the mouse position, adaptability, etc. during first-person perspective operation...
For example, Mystic, the brother-in-law of the WE team, is unable to balance output and self-protection due to his age and talent. In one game, he was knocked away three times in a row by the Prince's EQ even though he had flash. With such a situation in front, other teams will dare to take certain risks to gamble.
iBoy has demonstrated more than once that he has no vision and can even dodge skills by one centimeter. Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one will rashly use unstable non-targeted skills to attack him.
certainly.
We are not fools.
It is common to swap accounts or even let substitute players play the main account.
Swapping between Ashui and iBoy like this may not confuse the opponent.
But this kind of thing is something that happens naturally.
Success is the best.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t succeed.
On August 20, the last day of LPL competition began.
There are 12 teams in the LPL league in the S7 season.
Divided into two groups, A and B.
As long as we can reach the top four in the group, we can advance to the playoffs, which is relatively simple.
The dust has settled on Group A, and the rankings are EDG, WE, IG, and Snake.
In Group B, RNG is firmly in first place, followed closely by NB. No matter what the outcome of the next match is, their positions will not change.
OMG is at the bottom of the table this season.
Relying on its ability to rob the rich and help the poor, LGD defeated almost all the strong teams in the region, and was one point higher than the two major e-commerce teams JDG and SN.
However, LGD's schedule has come to an end, and JDG and SN still have one final battle to play. No matter who wins this game, they can surpass LGD by virtue of the win-loss record or game time and become the new third in Group B.
In other words, the winner of the e-commerce war can enter the playoffs in the first year of entering the LPL.
Considering the competitive relationship between platforms, this battle naturally became the most focused one.
After three fierce battles.
Thanks to the outstanding performance of top laner XiaoAL (Langxing), SN successfully defeated JDG and got the last ticket to the playoffs.
The process for the summer playoffs is the same as the spring.
The fourth-ranked team will start a game a little behind by default, facing the third-ranked team from another group, and then cross-challenge the second- and first-ranked teams.
The final winner will proceed to the final.
Afterwards, the qualifications for going directly to the world finals and participating in the bubble match will be determined based on the points ranking throughout the year.
According to common sense, this kind of competition system will put the fourth-ranked team under great pressure, because if they lose a game, they will be at match point, and it will be difficult for them to let go and fight.
but.
The common sense of the LGD team is that there is no common sense.
As a famous water ghost , LGD relied on the double C of Fat Rat Imp and Wei Shen, as well as the outstanding performance of top laner Jianxian and support Hirano Aya, and dragged the jungle king Eimy, a player who was in a mess, and won back three games in a row after losing a game to IG.
What's even more outrageous is.
In the second round, LGD defeated the NB team, which sounded very NB, and went straight to EDG.
Before the third round of competition began, the outside world began to have extremely heated discussions.
"To be honest, with LGD's current level, they can only win against unstable teams like IG or NB. They definitely have no chance against EDG."
"Didn't you, EDG, get robbed during the regular season?"
"Don't be ridiculous. How can the regular season and the playoffs be the same? Isn't it that Brother Jie only uses Fiora to tease the opponent in the regular season?"
"That's right."
"It's not like there's no chance at all. Those who know how to do a spicy dance will understand."
"! The victory is not for DGL and us!"
“…”
Xing Dao got up at 12 noon.
After the training match, I reviewed it last night until 4:30 in the afternoon.
While waiting in line for the Korean server, I browsed the forum and saw these, which I found quite interesting.
"Brother Jie, why do you want to drink this stuff? Even dogs won't drink sugar-free Coke." A Shui helped get a can of sugar-free Coke from the refrigerator and didn't forget to complain when he handed it to him.
"Do you want to drink?" Xing Dao asked mischievously.
"I... no, I said the wrong thing, I said the wrong thing." Ah Shui waved his hands again and again: "But this sugar-free cola is really hard to drink."
"Do you know how to manage your body?" Xing Dao opened the pull ring and drank half of it in one gulp.
The essence lies in this bite.
The rest is really delicious.
"No, even if I get fat as a ball, I can't drink this." Ah Shui refused firmly.
"It's okay if you're a little fat. AD has to be fat to have better output." Meiko joked.
"It's so ridiculous!" Ah Shui sneered.
"Really? Look at those skinny ADs, like Zhurang, Nami, and Shuijing. They all failed after one season and had to gain weight to last longer." Xing Dao gave an example: "Imp was in such a bad state before, but he turned into an OMP this season and even made it to the semifinals."
"Oh my god! OMP!" The factory manager was quite amused.
"By the way, Brother Changzi, when we play against LGD, you should focus on the middle and bottom." Xing Dao remembered a key thing: "I want to have some fun with Jianxian."
