Fierce shooter

"Nice! Finally won!"

The moment the base exploded, Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief.

In the eyes of the audience, this was a complete victory for the EDG team.

But only the players involved clearly know that a BO3 does not actually explain the strength of the two teams.

At least so far, EDG has lost more than they have won in the training match against the IG team. Being able to win today only shows that they did much better than IG today.

"Lie down to win, lie down twice in a row."

Jin Gong twisted his neck. After Xiaotian stood up, he also stood up and put his arm on Xiaotian's shoulder with a smile.

This arm seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Xiaotian, who was originally flexible, was instantly restrained and reached out to grab Jin Gong's arm: "Calm down, calm down, you have eaten my stone man today."

"You two, stop making trouble and go shake hands."

Meiko stretched out. Nineteen consecutive wins gave Meiko an unreal feeling.

Although EDG has always performed very well in domestic competitions before.

But the reason why EDG can always win is based on its tactical superiority.

EDG has never been able to crush other teams in terms of individual player abilities.

It is precisely because of this that in the past EDG would often overturn after winning a few consecutive games. After adjusting through Abramovich's tactics, they would start the next round of winning streak.

From the beginning of the spring split to now, Meiko can clearly feel that his team's ability to adjust is much stronger than before. Even if they lose a small game, they can use the short intermission to quickly adjust and complete the counterattack.

Overall, the spring regular season is undoubtedly smooth sailing.

The EDG team walked to the IG team battle seat in response to the cheers from the scene.

Everyone at IG is packing up peripherals at this time.

When people from EDG came over, everyone said hello.

Li Luo gave Theshy a hug, then said with a smile: "Come on for the playoffs."

"no problem."

The shy gave a thumbs up.

The shy has always had a good mentality, and he will not lose his face just because of a regular season loss.

"Brother Luo, you are too harsh."

Prince Ning didn't like hugs, so he chose to hit Li Luo with his fist.

"You're a little bit picky today, young man."

When Li Luo faced Prince Ning, he teased him unceremoniously.

"Those who are waiting for the finals, I will definitely come back in the finals."

King Ning began to raise the flag.

"Then come on."

Li Luo shrugged.

Some of IG’s problems today are still old problems.

It's okay to beat other teams with this old habit.

But if you encounter the RNG team... it's hard to say.

Especially Jackeylove's personal stability, in Li Luo's opinion, Jackeylove has not yet grown to a complete form at this time.

In advantageous games, Jackeylove can give the audience the feeling that he has perfectly integrated into the team.

But as soon as we got into a disadvantageous situation, the problem became apparent.

IG has won 18 consecutive victories in the regular season of the Spring Split.

There are only a handful of small games lost.

Because of this, IG’s problems were not particularly obvious.

But the defeat in today's game against EDG will probably be seen by some interested teams.

This may be a troublesome thing for IG.

You know, according to the playoff schedule, the East and West will play separate knockout rounds.

And it's a single-elimination knockout format.

This means that as long as one of the BO5s is lost, this team's spring split journey will come to an end.

For IG, they need more games to run in and train.

The effect of this in training games will not be very good. At this stage of the playoffs, any team that breaks into the playoffs will not expose too much in training games.

So during this period, even if they win all the training matches, it doesn't mean anything.

Therefore, in theory, the more teams play in the playoffs, the faster they will improve.

IG and EDG are ranked first in their respective half districts.

This means that the two teams will assume the task of "defending".

They only need a BO5 to advance to the finals.

This is the advantage conferred by regular season rankings.

They can judge the strength and tactical preparation of their opponents through the BO5 before the playoffs.

It would be best if the two teams in front are similar in strength, so that these teams will inevitably expose some of the bottom-line things before meeting them.

But once there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the defender can easily be overthrown.

No matter how many consecutive wins there are in the regular season, as long as they are eliminated in the playoffs, they will become a joke.

This is a problem IG needs to face.

It is also a problem that EDG has to face.

IG can at least learn from their defeat in this game.

But EDG...because of their winning streak, it may be difficult for them to discover their flaws and areas that need to be adjusted.

Fortunately, EDG's coaching staff is relatively strong, and if you study carefully, you can still find clues.

After shaking hands and hugging Rookie, Jackeylove, and Baolan one by one, everyone from EDG came to the center of the stage, bowed in thanks, and went to pack up their peripherals.

As expected, after the final battle, Li Luo received a warm invitation from the organizer, inviting him to be interviewed.

Li Luo did not refuse. This was not the first time he had been interviewed during the Spring Split. Counting the many interviews he had done last year, he had become accustomed to it as the interviews became more frequent.

Interview booth.

"Hello, audience friends, I am the host Yu Shuang. I am very happy to invite Shine, a player from the EDG team, to be interviewed by us. Come and say hello to everyone?"

The generous Yu Shuang handed the microphone to Li Luo with a smile.

"Hello everyone, I am EDG's adc player Shine."

"First of all, congratulations to EDG for successfully ending the spring regular season with 19 consecutive victories. Did you ever think that today's battle of the century with IG would end with 2-0?"

Yu Shuang blinked and said.

Li Luo pondered for two seconds: "Actually, I have thought about it. After all, we are teammates who have won championships together. I know their habits quite well, especially King Ning. He is a king in front of me. I want to take it off.”

There were bursts of laughter at the scene.

IG fans and EDG fans who were insulting each other on the Internet stopped abruptly after hearing Li Luo's words.

They are not blind.

Of course, I saw the familiarity between the two players when they interacted after the game.

Although there are also a series of workplace conspiracy theories about "surface brothers", "for face", "acting", etc., but at least the majority of the audience is relatively sober.

Ning Wang, who returned to the backstage lounge, was a little agitated when he heard Li Luo's words: "Brother Luo started a group with only me, which is not authentic. I have to go to the EDG base to find him later and ask him to treat me to a meal to make up for my injury." ’s soul.”

"Then Brother Luo will ask you to have dinner in the canteen of their base..."

Baolan's faint words made Prince Ning choke up.

"Is EDG's cafeteria that scary?"

Rookie was puzzled.

King Ning and Bao Lan gave Rookie a "you're too young" look.

"Brother Luo was already quite thin, but he is even thinner this time. It can be seen from this..."

Jackeylove also lamented: “Our IG’s food is better.”

Prince Ning sneered at this: "Ah, yes, yes, you have come full circle recently, but I haven't seen you eat at the base a few times, right? Just put those hamburgers every day, eat more, you will be fat. .”

"It's not because I love to eat, it's mainly because I feel like I'm really going to gain weight. As a saying goes, how can I carry ADC if I'm not fat?"

Jackeylove smiled to himself when he said this.

He was not satisfied with his performance today.

…

In the interview booth.

Yu Shuang continued to ask questions.

"Brother Luo, can you talk about Kai'Sa's outfit? We can see that in the match that just ended, you chose to make Kai'Sa who is semi-AP. Does this choice represent the mainstream appearance of Kai'Sa in the current version? Pretending?"

Li Luo shook his head slightly when he heard this: "This kind of outfit can only be played in a specific lineup. It's best not to touch it in rank for now. When will the designer strengthen the W feeling and try to use it as a mainstream outfit? Way."

Speaking of this, Li Luo paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "If the designer is watching, I hope to hear the opinions of our ad players. This version of adc is a bit weak. Can it be strengthened?"

Li Luo's words were unanimously recognized by countless adc players.

The arena and ranking are always two different worlds.

The current version of adc's dominance on the field is strong enough.

But it doesn't mean that he is very strong in rank.

On the contrary, this version of adc has gradually begun to have a difficult time in rank.

Major changes to rune talents and changes to the heroes' own attributes have made the originally sophisticated damage calculation methods of many veteran players no longer practical.

Now they need to change their calculation method and adapt again.

Because the damage of many heroes in this version has begun to overflow.

Coupled with the weakening of the Incense Burner monster, the game environment for single-row ADCs has become a lot worse.

In the past, there were people who played a censer for a while when they were filling in as support. Anyway, standing behind the team with a shield and adding health would not kill you. It was pretty cool to get 20 or 30 assists with a single rank, and it was a soft support. It would be more comfortable to publish a murder book and just think of it as a break from the usual hard work.

But once the incense burner monster is weakened and its strength is greatly reduced, players will be less willing to play it.

What's the point of being comfortable if you can't win the game?

Without soft support, you can only play hard support or legal support.

When playing hard support and encountering an adc who is not very good at it or whose ideas are different from those of his teammates, it will be particularly easy to lose yourself.

It is also easy to be walked around and played with.

Therefore, except for players who specialize in assisting, most fill-in players don't like hard assisting, and even if they play, they only play more entertaining games like robots.

After putting aside the soft assistant and hard assistant, only the legal assistant is left.

Things like Xerath, Fire Man, etc. If you have some level of adc, just have fun. If you are not, just start C on your own.

The most uncomfortable person in this situation is naturally the adc.

…

In the interview room, Yu Shuang continued to ask: "Last question, EDG advanced to the playoffs as the first place in the regular season of the group. Is it convenient for me to reveal the goals of Shine players in this spring split?"

It’s a question of goals again.

The last thing Li Luo wanted to answer was this kind of question.

EDG is now guaranteed to be in the top four.

There really wasn't much room left for Li Luo to choose his target.

The Champions League and Asian Championships are nothing more than these three goals.

After thinking for a while, Li Luo said: "Actually, the goal was already set when I chose to join the EDG team. When I was not with EDG, EDG was a regular in the finals of the LPL division, and in the finals, More than half of them won and won the trophy.”

"Now that I have joined, EDG's strength will have to go back three years, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Shuang was stunned.

Many fans of the EDG team at the scene were also stunned.

Go back three years...

Three years...

Three years ago today, what was the EDG team like at that time?

Many fans gradually recalled it.

The post-game interview is over.

But for the players in the Tieba forum, uncovering the meaning of Li Luo's big riddle is the key.

You must know that last year, Li Luo made many profound "prophecies" in the post-match interview.

The most famous one is the "Dream Capital".

Li Luo's behavior of standing alone in the atmosphere and confusing everyone caused many players to spontaneously organize a small group of "Anatomy of the Riddler".

"Three years back? 2015, Spring Split Champion, right?"

"People upstairs, be bold and think about it at a deeper level. In addition to the spring championship, what other championships did EDG win in 2015?"

"I was beaten 4-0 by FNC..."

"A good man doesn't mention the embarrassment of the past!"

"Starch is furious!"

"One thing to say, the three years that Brother Luo mentioned could mean that he has already started studying MSI's opponents in advance, right?!"

Fans on Tieba were talking a lot.

The excitement surrounding the end of the regular season lasted until Riot announced the update for the next version, and then the topic changed.

Since the 2018 season, many players have not adapted to the novelty of talent trees.

The game experience in many locations is not as good as before, which makes players complain.

Not long ago, a Riot designer recorded a video and said in the video, "Adc is still operable in the current version, so today... we are going to weaken Dao Mei."

This sentence offended two groups of people.

The adc players haven't said anything yet, but the sword girl players broke through the defense first.

They thought they were used to getting high with fists and mouths.

Even if it has been weakened in recent times, it has only made slight changes in skill values.

For Sword Girl, as long as the mechanism of W causing real damage remains unchanged, it will still be powerful no matter how you cut it.

But this time, the fist was crisp and clean, and the sword girl was directly redone.

We also specially produced a promotional video.

In the EDG base.

"This new version of Sword Girl...is a bit ugly, not as good-looking as before."

Meiko compared the illustrations of the old and new versions of Sword Girl, and commented seriously: "As for the skills... they are completely different from before. I can try them out after they are installed in the Korean server. The disarming feeling of this ultimate move It’s quite interesting.”

Li Luo also noticed the announcement made by Riot Games and felt quite emotional.

The rework of Knife Girl will be a turning point in this season.

It will take a long time for this hero to be implemented into the competition server.

This means that before the end of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational, professional players are still adapting to the fact that the current adc is increasingly taking up a larger proportion, and other lanes can play the tool man version.

But it’s hard to say what the version will look like in the second half of this season.

ps: I won’t go for treatment tomorrow. It will return to normal at 18 o’clock and update at 22 o’clock. It’s the first time I’ve experienced the snail-like feeling of writing words. It’s so uncomfortable.
