Chapter 303: Day 2 of the group stage, against SKT!
"Ashiba——"
Peanut was scratching his hair a little madly.
Just now, he shouted that Shen reached level 6 in 5 minutes and 20 seconds, and the other SKT players were skeptical.
After all, this kind of thing is very unreasonable.
I originally wanted to find the problem through replay and prove myself.
There are also error prompts that are hard to understand but can be judged based on conventional thinking.
What the hell is this!
There's not even a replay, and you still have the nerve to be the designated server for the World Finals?
"It's okay, General is always live streaming, you can find his replay."
KkOma is more calm.
During key competitions, professional players are generally not allowed to broadcast live.
Xing Dao is obviously an outlier.
A year ago, he was killing people in the Rank home defense match, leaving SKT's logistics team confused.
Although this year's results are much better, they are still very misleading.
——Usually he focuses on one hero and plays it like a master, and he can bring out everything in the game.
According to Rank, the most you can do is study your usual operating habits. For Ban/Pick, it has no reference value at all and will instead lead you into a pit.
Fortunately, this method or technique of rapid upgrading is applicable to all heroes.
Just wait and see.
However.
A few hours later.
KkOma discovered that the replay in Xing Dao’s live broadcast room was from the previous day.
The latest video has been deleted...
…
"Xiao Zhao (iBoy) you are such a jerk, why did you have to delete that video?"
Xing Dao looked helpless: "It's so hard to become famous with skills. Is Imp any good? Is Lao Zei any good? Is Shui Jing Ge any good? Almost no one watches their live broadcasts, you know?"
"You have to learn how to create memes and give the audience something to talk about, only then can you become popular."
"It can't be two arms and one head!" iBoy was determined.
"Yes, yes, it should be deleted!" A Shui, who has one head and two arms, voted in favor.
"It's true that young people don't know the value of becoming famous..." Xing Dao shook his head.
"Oh, by the way, how did you level up just now? I didn't see you eating any wild animals." The factory manager was a little curious.
"Ah, it's simple. I pulled some soldiers. You may not have seen it, brother from the factory." Xing Dao explained casually.
When killing the Tiger God, the red side's artillery line is still a certain distance away.
Xing Dao took the initiative to move forward as his own soldiers entered the tower.
It was dragged to the side and back for a few seconds.
Before returning to the city, deal with the 3 red side melee soldiers with low health, so that the counter-pushing red side line of soldiers can form a combination of 3 full-health melee + cannon + 6 ranged soldiers.
When the number of minions is basically equal, the top laner without shoes returns to the city and then slowly walks out, which will result in the loss of two or three melee minions.
After this treatment, at most one melee soldier will be lost.
and.
Tiger God chose to teleport online to further speed up the advancement.
Xing Dao also used the E skill twice to hurry on his way.
Adding these three aspects together, I just missed one more hit and got the full experience.
That's why you don't need to wait for the next wave to reach level 6.
It sounds simple.
It seems to be worthless.
But without understanding, even professional players have a high probability of making misjudgments and falling into a trap.
The group stage on the second day was relatively boring.
Basically it's a strong team against a weak team, or a weak team against a weak team.
For example, AHQ and C9.
One is the second in Taipei, and the other is the third in North America.
It is true that they are strong teams in their respective regions.
In the world finals, the strong ones are not so obvious...
so.
The audience is waiting for the finale.
"Hello, audience friends!"
"Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends World Championship. The next match will be between EDG and SKT."
"The outcome of this game will have a crucial impact on who will be the top of the group."
Ze Yuan and Zhi Huan appeared in the commentary booth.
"EDG and SKT's performances in this summer season are very similar. They both started off low and ended high. They performed slightly worse in the regular season, but exploded in the playoffs together."
"This is also a common problem for teams participating in MSI."
Ze Yuan warmed up during the preparation stage: "It's just that EDG's condition is relatively better. They retained the first place in the regular season and won the championship in the playoffs."
The spring champion will participate in MSI and will stay in the previous one or two versions for quite a long time.
What?
The official server has been updated?
That's no use .
For example, this year's MSI used version 7.8.
Versions 7.9 and 7.10 of the official server update added new equipment such as Gargoyle Plate Armor and Adaptive Helmet. Can players use them?
Obviously not possible.
Even if you are in a new version, you should still practice the heroes of the previous version and follow the equipment layout of the previous version.
There was little adjustment time, so we just 'jumped' into the summer season.
It is natural to feel uncomfortable.
Adaptation is a special case.
For this reason, even if SKT lost to LZ, in the eyes of the audience, professional teams, and major media, SKT and LZ are teams of the same level.
There is just a slight difference.
According to the 'Finals Champion Team Ranking Prediction' conducted every year, we can see that EDG averages 1.7 places, LZ averages 2.1 places, and SKT averages 2.5 places, with not much of a gap between them.
While talking.
The director's camera first swept across the audience seats, then switched to the main stage, giving close-ups of each contestant's facial expressions.
EDG has it easier.
Talking and laughing.
The status is no different from usual.
The SKT team members are relatively serious because from last year's World Finals to now, they have been beaten 6-0 by EDG. Every additional loss will break the record again.
The schedule is also a bit disadvantageous for SKT.
In the double round-robin group stage, each team will play two games against the other three teams.
Once on the blue side and once on the red side.
Anyway, each side will fight once.
Logically speaking, it doesn’t matter which side you are on in the first game...bullshit!
——Except for a few very, very special versions, the blue side’s win rate has always been higher than the red side.
In other words, whoever plays on the blue side first has a greater chance of winning.
After winning this crucial match, our mentality will obviously be much more relaxed.
It is equivalent to occupying a certain advantage.
certainly.
This is not some shady deal or unspoken rule.
It's just a pure host benefit.
Similar arrangements will be made in any region where the event is held.
For example, KT, which was known as the Galaxy Battleship in the S8 season, received such care.
It definitely has some effect.
But the final result still depends on the team's hard strength.
We chatted briefly.
Zhihuan began to introduce the situation on the field: "EDG's starting lineup is General, Zz1tai, Scout, JackeyLove, Meiko."
"SKT's starting lineup is Mairn, Peanut, Faker, Bang, and Wolf."
"Both teams have finished adjusting, let's start BP."
"EDG was on the blue side, and they first banned Galio, the Colossus of Justice, who was banned four times in a row by LZ in the LCK Summer Finals!"
