Chapter 669: How much sorrow can you have? Full of dangers, half of the hook and mud
“Congratulations to EDG!”
"EDG used the Baron to force RNG players over, fought a 2-for-4 team fight, pressed into the high ground along the top lane, and flattened RNG's main crystal."
"We ended the semi-final match with a 3-0 record."
Changmao introduced the subsequent schedule: "Next, they will play against the winner between IG and JDG at Jinling Youth Olympic Sports Park on September 14."
"EDG's performance today was only better than during the regular season," Zhihuan concluded, "Especially in the last game, their overall state and thinking remained perfect, and every position knew clearly what they should do at what time."
"First, use the cooperation between Gragas and Yasuo to target Ryze, and then try to limit Xayah's output as much as possible in team battles."
"Xayah, who has the best development on RNG's side, can't make any noise, and the other heroes are completely unable to support the team fight."
"I can only think of eight words to describe it." Rita interrupted at the right time: "--A heavy sword has no edge, and great skill is not elaborate."
Speaking of this.
The director's camera is directed to the main stage.
The EDG players left their seats and went to the RNG player seat for the routine handshake.
RNG knew that it would be difficult to beat EDG, so they just did their best and left the rest to fate. Their mentality was not affected too much.
The atmosphere was pleasant enough.
Letme and Xing Dao had a business meeting to promote each other.
Mala Xiangguo failed to save the day and complained to the factory manager.
Gay Tiger, who had degenerated from the Spring Tiger Emperor to the Summer Tiger Brother, was a little unhappy that he failed to establish an advantage over the original 'power bank' Xiye, and he tried very hard to force a smile.
It just looks like crying...
"Give me a chance, really."
UZI joked: "You guys get bonuses if you win, you know that? Meow didn't let me take a dime from the club. In the third game, I even lifted up the manager."
"I can't decide. Brother Factory is the coach." Xing Dao pushed him aside completely: "How about you put on the dormitory skin and kill Brother Factory offline."
"And then there comes a human bomb tank?" UZI made fun of himself.
"Then why not just drive." Xiao Ming turned into an e-sports poet: "How much sorrow can you have? Full insurance, semi-trailer and mud."
Speaking of this.
Xiao Ming noticed that the factory director's dead eyes were staring at him.
He quickly shut his mouth.
When the handshake session ended, the EDG players walked to the center of the stage to greet the audience.
The entire Wukesong Stadium was once again filled with thunderous shouts of "EDG—!"
Without a doubt.
In the LPL region, wherever EDG goes, that is their home court.
After waiting for Zzaizhuang and Xiye to be interviewed, the EDG players, at the request of the club, held a simple fan meeting at the entrance of Wukesong Stadium.
Because they encountered a new version right after returning from the Asian Games, EDG was in a state of preparation throughout the whole process and did not even have the routine celebration.
The players didn’t get enough exposure.
The fans weren’t very happy either.
This time they came to the capital and defeated RNG with a record of 3-0.
This means that EDG has not declined in the new version and still has the strength to dominate the LPL region.
You can relax a little.
A large number of small gifts were distributed, names were signed for more than half an hour, and photos were taken with the lucky audience members who were drawn.
After completing this, the EDG players boarded the team bus and returned to the hotel to continue training.
Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The semi-final between IG and JDG will be held at the Wukesong Sports Center.
Before that, there was a regular season MVP award ceremony that Xing Dao needed to attend before he could go to Jinling to prepare for the game.
but.
No impact.
The distance between Shanghai and Jinling is not far, and the climate is similar, so arriving one day earlier or later will not affect the preparations.
After all, EDG's opponent in the finals should be IG if nothing unexpected happens.
——Even though JDG performed very well in the playoffs, the players are still too young.
Zoom has good talent, but lacks experience.
In the top lane, a position that requires very high abilities in all aspects, lack of experience means that even if an advantage can be established in the lane, it may not be perfectly translated into the two important aspects of split pushing and team fighting.
not to mention.
IG jungler Ning Mazi lived in the top lane the entire time.
Even Xing Dao didn't dare to take it lightly.
Toothpaste, the Pingxiang mid laner, has obvious shortcomings when facing the currently prosperous Chicken Master in Spring and Autumn .
As for LokeN and LuMao in the bottom lane...
Today's LokeN doesn't even have the title of 'new generation genius AD'.
Comparing Green Hair and S8's Royal Blue, there is also a qualitative difference in their comprehensive abilities.
The strength on paper is overwhelming.
certainly.
The ever-changing competition is not about comparing size. Actual combat ability and paper strength cannot be completely equated. It is neither scientific nor reasonable to say that JDG has no chance of winning.
But if we have to give a win-loss ratio... even the commentator who was most optimistic about JDG only gave it a 20% chance of winning.
…
"Hello, audience friends!"
On the afternoon of September 10, Yu Shuang appeared in the center of the stage wearing a semi-transparent floral cheongsam: "Welcome to the 2018 LPL Summer Regular Season MVP award ceremony. This season we have reformed the MVP selection system and made the entire selection process public. I hope more viewers can understand the ins and outs behind it."
"Next, we would like to invite our award presenter, Mr. Huang Jiashi, the Director of League of Legends Tournament Planning of Tencent Interactive Entertainment, to introduce the latest selection system for this season."
Accompanied by background music.
Mr. Huang Jiashi walked in front of the camera and said: "I am very happy to be here and witness the second team heading to Nanjing to participate in the LPL finals."
"Before that, we must first present the very important award of the summer regular season MVP."
"Before the award ceremony, let me introduce the new selection method to you..."
The new system stipulates a series of requirements such as the proportion of players' appearances and team rankings.
The strongest player is determined by combining player contribution scores , weekly best team scores (which evaluates performance among players in the same position), winning rate, number of MVPs, and data from LPL main media, Chinese and English hosts, and votes from representative organizations of the event.
at last.
Mr. Huang Jiashi stretched out his hand towards the big screen: "Let's announce the winner of the summer regular season MVP!"
The screen changes.
2018LPL SUMMER－MVP poster flashed by.
A familiar figure emerged.
——EDG-General!
In the highlights, there are the ruthless combos of the water ghost knocking on the door, the instant kills of the blue beast on encounter, and the kicks of the mad dog centaur that kill the soul... Almost every famous LPL player has become a background board here.
The final list of data released shocked the entire audience.
GD @ 15 (15-minute economic difference): 1573 - No. 1 in LPL
KIL Ls: 279 - No. 1 in LPL
KILLS/G: 6.34 - No. 1 in LPL
MVPs (Total MVPs): 31 - No. 1 in LPL
SOLOKILLs (single kill): 47 - No. 1 in LPL
Every statistic that determines the MVP is far ahead of the second place, even equivalent to the sum of the second and third place!
There is one exception to the data at the very bottom, shown in the smallest font size.
This is...DMG/M (divided median output).
Xing Dao's average output per minute is 597 points, lower than UZI's 621 and Rookie's 608, ranking only third in LPL.
"After consuming so much economy and being supported by the whole team, this is just the output?" Some haters immediately raised doubts.
But this one just came out.
He was drowned out by the angry follow-up comments.
"What do you mean by this little output? Play top lane and get third place in all positions."
"Do you know that EDG's average game time is less than 24 minutes, IG's average game time is 30 minutes and 28 seconds, and RNG's average game time is 34 minutes and 11 seconds? Brother Jie's output is achieved with one less big item than Rouji and two less big items than UZI."
"It's really stupid. You can't even criticize me on the right point."
"Do you know what the average output of the second-placed top laner is? The second-placed is only 565, and the third-placed is 494."
“…”
When clubs in other regions saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
As we all know, in the S8 preseason, the magic resistance rune was cancelled and the AP bonus was increased, giving the mage a very strong BUFF.
The League of Legends was once known as the League of Mages.
In subsequent versions, mages have only been strengthened, and except for the particularly abnormal new hero Zoe, there has been almost no real weakening.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Aatrox, Irelia, and Akali are all more powerful than the other.
Those are things that came out later.
The mages dominated most of the pre-summer season.
This is also one of the reasons why IG's Rookie was able to gain the reputation of being the Chicken Master and rank second in the LPL region in all data.
General, a player who specializes in top lane, is first in every aspect except average output per minute. He is simply... a monster!
"Oh my god, General is so strong!"
The manager of the North American Echo Fox team took out the statistics of the region and made a comparison, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Echo Fox bought Huni this season, and imitated EDG to create a system centered around Huni with the top laner as the core, which achieved pretty good results.
But even Huni, who was bullying the weak in the LCS.NA region, only had an average damage of 557 points.
As for other Korean aids...
Ssumday (Sunday) averages 479 damage per minute.
The average damage of Impact (Big Wood) and Flame (Big Princess) are 423 and 406 respectively.
They are not on the same level at all.
No.
Not on the same plane.
"If we buy General..." The Echo Fox coach stroked his beard and thought.
"We can't afford it!" The Echo Fox manager smiled bitterly and spread his hands.
Echo Fox is a team privately sponsored and named by retired Los Angeles Lakers player 'Rick Fox'. The money he can take out is very limited, and his entire fortune may not be enough to pay a top LOL player a year's salary.
The only qualification is to follow the mainstream team and pick up the old, weak, sick and disabled.
If you want to buy General, who is about to win the triple crown and the super grand slam, it is almost time for the NBA team owner to make a move.
LCK region.
All the major teams that have lost every game since the S6 finals have actually collected Xing Dao's data in the game early on.
But they have not been combined together to list the rankings and comparisons below.
Until today.
Only then did I realize how big the gap was.
“General has grown from a rookie who only knew how to play in laning and teamfights to an all-around top-level player.”
“He is our biggest rival in the division.”
Samsung coach Edger, who has already secured the third seed in the LCK, mused: "AFs' top laner Ki- in lost all his confidence after being beaten by General, and KT's Smeb may not be able to hold on... If we want to defeat EDG, we still have to rely on us!"
"We have achieved the best record against EDG in the past two years!"
"That's right." CuVee, who was in the top lane, encouraged himself.
In the S7 finals.
The least favored Samsung team once won a game from EDG.
This year.
Samsung coach Edger believes he has conducted very thorough research on EDG.
In addition, the S8 finals will be held in South Korea, so the LCK teams have the home advantage and can get the best care in terms of schedule, time arrangement, and eating and sleeping habits.
It combines the right time, right place and right people.
If Samsung meets EDG in the knockout stage and can win two of the first four games, it will definitely have a chance to overturn EDG, which has never played a full BO5 in recent years!
