Chapter 108: Mid-Season Version Changes Knockout Tournament Begins(1/3)
Chapter 108 Mid-season version changes, knockout rounds begin
At the end of the group stage, the four qualifying teams have been determined, namely EDG, SKT, FW, and G2.
Gam and TSM were ruthlessly eliminated.
Of course, no one will pay attention to losers, except the moon.
Surprisingly, gam has gained a lot of traffic.
As for the reason, it's not because of how well they played, but because of gam's assistant's post-game interview...
It is somewhat sad that a team is noticed not because of its performance, but because of news hype.
But no matter what, it is better to have someone paying attention than no one paying attention.
Before Gam left, Gam's support player even came to ask for Yates' autograph.
Watching the gam assistant leave, Ye Zi muttered: "Is someone bragging about me?"
I used to look at others for bragging, but now someone is bragging for myself. This feeling can only be described in one word - great!
What's even more exciting is that there is some rest time before the knockout rounds.
Although resting does not mean taking a vacation, it is still much less stressful than playing games.
Within the EDG team.
After the training match, Yezi started the live broadcast to play Rank.
I have been playing diamonds in the live broadcast recently, and the master's trumpet is divided into left and right segments, and I don't go out of my way to score points or anything.
The position is also relatively random, and you can play in any position.
For him, this kind of segmentation is really not challenging, and it can't even maintain the feel.
But there are also advantages. After experiencing different positions, I have a deeper understanding of the games in other positions, which is an unexpected blessing.
What surprised him even more was that compared to when he played high-end games, when he played low-level games, his popularity actually increased a lot.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Zi understood the reason.
In the Diamond Master game, he has little pressure, lots of interactions, and great fun to watch.
But scoring points is different, even he has to concentrate on it.
Moreover, the high-level ranks in the Korean server have a slow pace, and it takes a long time to get a kill.
Putting it into perspective, if he were a viewer, he probably wouldn't like to watch this kind of live broadcast.
However, considering that there will be games in the next few days, Yezi still chose to go to the Korean server to score points.
The purpose is not to rank, the score is no longer important to him, the main thing is to maintain the feel.
There is a saying that when you play chess with a stinky chess piece, the more you play, the stinker it gets.
If you are used to playing at a low level, it will be easy to get involved and it will not be beneficial to the game.
Only high-intensity confrontation is suitable for professional players to maintain their feel.
After playing several rounds of high-ranking games, Yezi shook his hands, feeling a little tired.
AD solo queue is very difficult, and it also depends on the coordination with the support. It's okay when you encounter the support specialization. Even if the coordination is not good, it won't be too outrageous.
It will be uncomfortable when you encounter a fill-in support player. The fill-in player will most likely choose heroes such as Xerath and Glory. The play style is radical but without any details.
Under this situation, Yezi could not save himself no matter how hard he tried.
The game that just ended was like this. The support directly locked Qinggang Shadow, and the matchup was equivalent to one versus two.
That's all. I don't know which father's video Qinggangying watched. He went to the middle lane for a gank at the second level and squatted in the grass for a minute. When he came back, he was surrounded by four people from the opposite middle and jungle lane...
After being cheated and losing a game, Yezi was not in the mood to continue playing.
Just as he was about to take a rest, Meikou suddenly came over and said, "Yi Zi, let's have some fun."
"Huh?" Ye Zi asked curiously: "How to entertain?"
Meikou smiled: "Have you seen the changes in the mid-season version? Is it great to go to the trial server?"
That's it...
Mid-season revamp Yates knows that this revamp will be a big official move.
Two new heroes have been added - Xia Luo.
Pig Girl was reworked, Big Tree was reworked, Canyon Pioneer was reworked...
It can be said that the S7 after the mid-season is the real S7.
This revision will undoubtedly speed up the pace of the game.
The Rift Herald, which was not taken seriously before, has now become a powerful tool for pushing down towers.
In this way, the team will have to make a choice between dragon and Rift Herald.
Taking the road is no longer an orphan road that no one pays attention to.
If you look at it from this aspect, Riot's revision is undoubtedly a success, but for EDG, this is not good news.
EDG can achieve its current results, on the one hand, because the team's strength has indeed increased, and on the other hand, the current version focuses on the bottom lane, which is more suitable for EDG's play style.
But after the revision, teams will have more tactical options.
In this way, EDG's natural advantages are gone, and they have to adapt to the new version of the game rhythm.
At that time, it will be very difficult for EDG to maintain its current results.
In the league, version is king.
Every time the version is changed, a group of teams will gain support and a group of teams will rise.
No team knows what will happen next and can only try its best to cater to the version, even SKT.
"Are we going to use a new version of msi this time?" Yezi asked.
"How is that possible? The manager said that the next version is not very friendly to us, so let us experience it first."
"That's fine."
Yezi breathed a sigh of relief. If the new version is used now, EDG will definitely suffer.
To his surprise, the coaching staff also noticed this and started preparing in advance.
You know, he can tell because he has experienced version changes, and the coaching staff cannot be like him.
"It seems that the coaching staff still has something good."
He complained in his mind, but Ye Zi didn't refuse.
I’m tired from just finishing the points rush, so it’s good to have some fun.
"Come!"
The two of them logged into the experience server, which was already an updated version.
Meikou stared at the update with wide eyes, while Yezi looked at Xia Luo in the interface with a dazed look in his eyes.
Xialuo has a unique linkage mechanism.
When playing at the same time, they can return to the city together. The distance of Rakan's E skill will become farther, and Xayah's W skill will act on Rakan at the same time...
"Couples leaving the road?"
"I want to see the anchor and my sister play Xia Luo."
"Go, go, go!"
It was quite novel to see the new hero on Danmu, so naturally I wanted the anchor to help me experience it.
Yates didn't refuse either.
The two started to match. After waiting in line for a long time, they finally got in.
Ye Zi is on the first floor, Mei is on the third floor...
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Meikou discovered that his teammate’s ID was Uzi.
Is it the real Uzi?
The audience was suddenly a little curious. After all, it was a trial server. Maybe someone would use Uzi's ID to play the game.
This kind of thing is very common. Sometimes Uzi's ID cannot be registered, so the name will be given in the format of place name + uzi.
On the other side, Uzi was stunned when he saw the IDs of Ye Zi and Mei Qian, and typed: "Is it me?"
As soon as he said this, he naturally confirmed his identity.
For a moment, the live broadcast room suddenly became lively——
"Damn it! Can you arrange this?"
"It's interesting, EDG has a puppy in the bottom lane, how can they lose?"
To be continued...
