Fierce shooter

ps: There is a difference of more than a thousand words, so there will be an update in the evening, before midnight

The big news at the end of the LPL transfer period was quickly delivered to every division like a hurricane.

The teams in the LCK division that participated in the S7 World Finals have been lifeless since IG won the championship.

There were many people on their forum who uploaded the highlights of the finals made by Chinese video bloggers, but they were all deleted.

Even slightly sarcastic comments were scrubbed.

Putting aside those posts where you criticize your own team, the entire forum looks like a pure land.

This year’s LCK transfer period is also quite peaceful.

Although the winning team is IG, RNG's performance in the semi-finals undoubtedly told many domestic clubs that Chinese players can do it.

Therefore, local players in the LCK division during this transfer period are not particularly popular, and they can only produce and sell their own products.

The SSG team that won the semi-finals did not make any personnel changes. They chose to keep the same team for another year.

Under the expectations of countless people, SKT only eliminated top laner Huni and jungler Peanut.

There is no news about huni yet, but Peanut has transferred to the LZ team, which can be regarded as strengthening the shortcomings of LZ jungler Cuzz.

The Bird's Nest match seemed to have demoralized SKT. The players did not broadcast live, nor did the official release any news about the players.

For LCK fans, this winter is undoubtedly a tough one.

If they want to see the players compete, they can only wait until the LCK spring split begins.

But for domestic players, they at least still have the German Cup to watch.

During the transfer period, Li Luo got a rare break and went home to go shopping with his family.

The agency contract does not impose many restrictions on Li Luo. Li Luo only needs to live broadcast for 25 hours a month, and he can live broadcast on the Korean server, which is completely acceptable to Li Luo.

After the transfer period ended, Li Luo sent Li Hong away, said goodbye to his parents, and returned to the Magic City.

EDG's base is quite lively.

Just because Li Luo had such a long vacation, it didn't mean that others also had it.

After all, EDG will start taking vacation after returning from the top 16 of the World Championship. They will take vacation early and start work early.

After Li Luo placed the gifts in the dormitory, he said something to Li Zhe and walked towards the training room.

As soon as he walked to the door, Li Luo was startled by the words "Xi Ba'er" in the training room.

This loud voice...

Li Luo took out his ears.

"Qiuqiu, stop yelling. It's all your fault that I didn't hit the red buff this time."

"What did you say?!"

"it's okay no problem."

Li Luo walked into the training room.

"Luoshen is back."

Meiko, who was pouring water, saw Li Hou and greeted him with a smile.

"If I get hacked in the future, it will be because of a little black guy like you."

Li Luo said hello to Ming Kai silently.

Xiaotian also saw Li Luo at this moment, and his eyes lit up, but he did not show it, but looked a little reserved and greeted Li Luo: "Hello, brother Luo."

"Hello, be casual. We are teammates from now on, so there is no need to be so hostile."

Li Luo walked over and patted Xiaotian's shoulder pretending to be familiar.

In fact, Li Luo is quite afraid of society.

But Xiaotian looks a little more timid than Li Luo.

Li Luo knows people like Xiaotian very well. If he is not familiar enough, he will not even want to say a word to you.

However, as soon as they become familiar with each other, the garlic bastard will instantly transform into a yin and yang monster and start a daily mutual fight mode.

Judging from the current situation, Xiaotian seems to be familiar with Jin Gong, who is like an old father, but he is not very familiar with others yet.

Although Li Luo is not the captain, for the sake of the development of the team, this problem must be solved.

Li Luo's easy-going attitude made Xiaotian noticeably relax. He looked at Li Luo and said, "Where are you sitting?"

"Next to you, next to the field."

After Li Luo put his peripheral backpack on the chair between Meiko and Xiaotian, he said hello to his junior brother and finally walked towards Jin Gong.

"Wow...Brother Shine, wait until I finish...this one."

Jin Gong is still a little shaky in Chinese right now.

"You hit it."

Li Luo glanced at the screen. Jin Gong was playing Captain, and his current record was 12/5.

The game time has entered 45 minutes, bladder game.

Now that the preseason version has been updated, rune talents have been integrated.

Li Luo noticed that Jin Gong's cornerstone talent in this game was quick pace.

The new season is divided into precision, dominance, determination, witchcraft and enlightenment.

Among the three cornerstone talents of the precision system: power attack, swift pace, and deadly rhythm, swift pace is the most popular.

As far as the current version has just been updated, almost all adcs choose fast pace. The same goes for special warriors like captains. Most mage-type heroes choose to bring comets.

The captain with his quick steps has very good maneuverability, and Jin Gong in the Liushen outfit walks like flying in the canyon.

Li Luo noticed that when Jin Gong's teammates realized that the opponent might be stealing the dragon, Jin Gong quickly marked the only remaining incisor tower on the opposite side, and at the same time pinned the signal to signal himself to intercept the people in the dragon pit.

All teammates rushed towards the opposite base.

Jin Gong, on the other hand, directly TPs, first using buckets to consume on the periphery, maintaining a distance from everyone on the other side.

When the opponent's people took down the big dragon and dispersed to find a place to return to the city, Jin Gong used his life to keep the people. With his own physical combat and his ultimate ultimate move that blocked the opponent's return time, he rushed to the dragon pit. interrupted by two enemies.

Although Jin Gong himself died, the team successfully broke through the incisor tower and launched a fierce attack on the final crystal.

The final crystal at 45 minutes was as crisp as paper thin.

Following the explosion of the base, Jin Gong happily waved his fist: "Nais!"

"It's beautiful."

Li Luo sighed with emotion while praising him.

The players' style can often be seen from some of their subconscious moves in the game.

Jin Gong is a player who can make great sacrifices for the team in order to win.

But as long as he is given enough economy, his performance will be better than most top laners.

This is also a major reason why Li Luo chose Jin Gong.

"Nihao Nihao, I am Jin Hanquan, just call me Jin Gong."

Jin Gong smiled and extended his hand to Li Luo.

His hands are big and not as slender as most professional players, and his voice is loud, giving people a very cheerful feeling.

"Li Luo, please give me more advice in the future."

The two hands were clasped together.

In the next two days, Li Luo played double queue with Jin Gong and Xiaotian respectively, while feeling the playing styles of these two people.

Jin Gong's playing style is very stable. Apart from sometimes screaming when he is caught, there is nothing wrong with him. The most valuable thing is that the proficiency of the version hero Jin Gong is online.

But Xiaotian's performance made Li Luo frown.

Although I had some understanding of Xiaotian's playing style before rebirth, the two of them didn't bump into each other many times in rank, and they never played in a double queue in the true sense.

This time the double row made Li Luo discover a rather fatal problem.

In terms of player style, Xiaotian is considered a rhythm jungler.

It's just that the offensive nature is weaker than that of Xiang Guo and Ning Wang.

And in the first two games of duo queue with him, Xiaotian's operations occasionally gave people a very strange feeling.

The probability of a professional player making outrageous moves is very low.

And often when it does appear, it's not because of this professional player dish.

But there was something wrong with his thinking.

Xiaotian is under great pressure.

Think about it, after all, the EDG team has Mingkai.

Even though Mingkai is declining and no longer at its peak, Mingkai's influence in the country is one of the best.

Moreover, Mingkai is still the soul of EDG. In this case, Xiaotian, who needs to compete with Mingkai for the starting spot, is under greater pressure.

It's just that he didn't say it out loud.

But after observation, Xiaotian has one quality that deserves recognition, and that is his thinking ability.

As long as the key points mentioned by Li Luo are mentioned once, Xiaotian will remember them.

This shows that as long as someone takes Xiaotian with him, the upper limit of Xiaotian's growth will be very high.

What EDG lacks now is just time for the team to adjust.

And if you want to get in touch, the Demacia Cup Qingdao Station in the near future will undoubtedly be a very good stage.

The next night.

Zhu Kai and Abu brought everyone together for a meeting.

Abramovich, who was in charge of tactics, glanced at everyone one by one, and then said: "Ming Kai, Li Luo, please tell us about this version. The German Cup has already finalized the version to be played, and this is the current version."

"Even if we want to train troops, we must at least be familiar with the version first. Except for Li Luo, your Rank situation has not been very good these days. The purpose of this meeting tonight is to let you have a clear understanding of the version and make targeted adjustments according to the version. Only with more training will there be a more significant improvement.”

"7-chan, go!"

Li Luo winked at Ming Kai.

Mingkai glared at Meiko fiercely. The latter was very innocent, even though he had brought this nickname out in the base.

In the past two days, Li Luo and Ming Kai discussed their understanding of the new version many times. Many things Li Luo said gave Ming Kai a completely new feeling.

Mingkai himself also has arrogance, but he hides it very deeply.

But just a few conversations with the version made Mingkai realize the horror of Li Luo.

You know, they started playing when the pre-season version was just updated.

But Li Luo only came back yesterday, and during this period his account was not ranked.

In two days, you can understand the version to this extent just by reading the text description of the version update and playing more than a dozen rounds of ranks?

Inhuman!

Mingkai originally wanted Li Luo to speak, but unexpectedly Li Luo gave him the right to speak.

After pondering for two seconds, Mingkai said slowly: "The Riot preseason version and the changes before it are clearly intended to target the IG team in a general direction."

"Based on the curve of the current version, the Czar, who has been strengthened before the World Championship version, has a chance to play. I even think that the Czar will become a mainstream hero in the German Cup. The Czar with the Comet has too strong early suppression ability."

"In addition, the jungler has canceled the jungle experience compensation mechanism, which can be regarded as weakening the early hunger strike rhythm junglers like Xiangguo."

"At the same time, it also weakens the experience value of wild monsters. This is obviously aimed at Ning."

Li Luo listened.

As soon as the version was updated, he went to read it in detail.

I have the impression that the pre-season version of S8 is already very vague.

However, the jungle compensation mechanism has indeed been canceled in this version, and there have been no changes.

As for the jungler's experience value being weakened, this is indeed the case.

From these two points, Riot has not made much changes to the version.

Is it because... I changed the team?

Li Luo was thoughtful.

Mingkai continued: "The growth of the health and armor of all heroes means that it is more difficult to kill in the lane. The fast-paced team in the early stage will be limited by the version and unable to maintain the suppression power of the previous version. "

"Correspondingly, Riot has weakened the Incense Burner Monster and strengthened a number of hard supports, but the enhancements have been to protective hard supports like Braum... This is equivalent to weakening the adc's bot lane ability in the early stage. , the later molding ability will not be that strong.”

Having said this, Ming Kai paused slightly and looked at Li Luo: "As for some functional adcs, they have not been weakened. Even Jhin's ultimate move has been slightly strengthened."

Abu looked at Mingkai in surprise.

Although Mingkai has always had an excellent understanding of the version of the game, knowing it is one thing, and being able to speak it clearly is another thing entirely.

But soon Abu noticed the look Ming Kai gave him. Abu, who had been with Ming Kai since S2, knew the latter too well and understood immediately.

But there was a storm in Abu's heart.

Li Luo...

Before, I only heard about its name but not the reality.

Now Abu has seen it.

Seeing Li Luo wave his hand, Abu didn't let Li Luo say anything. He calmed down and said: "So after the fist attack this time, the slow-paced team benefited, and according to our team's style, it is within the benefit range." , Of course, the details still depend on the situation in the German Cup. Many teams are unwilling to use their main lineup when playing in the German Cup. It is difficult for us to have a training effect when encountering such a team."

Abu actually didn't say a word.

But he believed that Li Luo had already figured it out.

At this time, Li Luo had to admit that Riot designers really had something up their sleeves.

In addition to weakening the fast-paced strong team, the fist also weakened Li Luo.

Well...Li Luo during the IG period.

This version of Kalista is still prevalent.

But it is no longer a must-select for non-ban.

Also popular among others is Ezreal.

However, Li Luo is not the only one who can play Ezreal. Almost any professional ADC player can use Ezreal.

In addition to these two heroes, there is an extremely unpopular hero who has also become popular in the version.

Female gun.

Armor-piercing female gun.

In addition to the lack of movement in the early stage, the female gunner's laning ability is actually not bad.

In this version, everyone focuses on development, and relies more on the 5v5 group battles in the later stage to compete for victory.

The sudden rise of the Tsar in the middle, paired with a jungler with a very high winning rate when paired with him, will provide the female gunner with a quite explosive output environment.

In other words, this version is no longer suitable for heroes such as Policewoman, Big Mouth, and Small Cannon that require a long development period in the early stage.

Functional heroes have become the mainstream.

According to Li Luo's previous style, this seems to be a strengthening of Li Luo.

But... Li Luo's current teammates must be taken into consideration.

Functional ADC is even more powerful in IG's system.

But it may not be feasible in the EDG team's system.

However, Li Luo didn't particularly care about this.

What he really cares about is that except for a few changes, the general direction of this version of Riot's update and the version before the rebirth are almost completely overlapping.

This is what Li Luo cares about most.

After being reborn, Li Luo's biggest reliance was his advanced understanding of the version.

As long as the general direction of any version does not change significantly, Li Luo will be able to get started faster than the coaching staff of other clubs.

On the surface, the version is targeting him.

In fact, this is the result Li Luo hopes to see!

The discussion that day lasted about two hours.

In the end, Zhu Kai formulated the training plan.

With the end of the transfer period, training matches for each team will be scheduled one after another.

Zhu Kai was more popular when he was in Snake. Coupled with Abramovich's own huge resources, if EDG wanted to, they could make appointments with almost all teams in the LPL, and even some teams in the outer divisions.

Another week passed quietly.

Early in the morning, Li Luo received a call from Principal Wang, saying that a designer from Riot Games was here and needed to ask the players for their opinions on participating in the champion skin, and that a car had been sent to pick him up.

After a while, Li Zhe also called Li Luo, indicating that Ed Zhu had told him that Li Luo would take a vacation today.

Champion skins are a big deal.

After being picked up by car at the agreed location, Li Luo also saw his IG teammates.

"Brother Luo!"

King Ning's eyes lit up when he saw Li Houhou, and he rushed over immediately.

Baolan next to him was also overjoyed, but he was more reserved. After seeing Prince Ning running past, he slowly and leisurely walked towards Li Luo to greet him.

"You've lost weight. Is it because EDG's food isn't that good?"

Rookie looked at Li Luo and said with a smile.

The shy standing next to Rookie seemed to have thought of something and shook his head repeatedly: "Ah, it tastes bad, Brother Luo, how pitiful it is."

"It's not bad. The base has a new cook and it's much better than before."

Li Luo smiled and said, "Let's go in first. Let's get together at noon. I'll treat you."

"Then you must invite me, you big dog!"

Everyone was talking and laughing as they walked towards the ACE League building, which is the place where League of Legends designers are received.

Li Luo once again stood in the familiar elevator.

The small advertisement in the elevator felt familiar and strange to Li Luo. It was familiar because it was in the elevator in his memory, but strange because what was printed on the advertisement was similar to the impression in Li Luo's mind.

"By the way, Brother Luo, will you be the main player in the German Cup?"

Prince Ning seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.

"Well, it will take a long time for the main force to get used to it, so this time it is training."

Li Luo's thoughts were interrupted, he raised his head and said.

"The relationship is good, and we are also the main force. Don't fall before the finals. Let's meet then, and whoever loses will treat us to a meal."

Prince Ning chuckled.

"I agree."

Rookie raised his hand.

"I agree too."

Baolan and Jackeylove also echoed.

"Oh, by the way, Jack, do you want to make a head bet with Brother Luo like iboy, and bet on the meal?"

King Ning saw the excitement and started to stir up trouble.

"You can pull a few of them down, I won't be able to find anything for you."

Jackyelove was speechless and responded unceremoniously.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the conference room where Riot designers were received.

The translators were also ready.

"Hey, guys from the IG team, you are here."

Riot's chief designer Ghost Crab came over enthusiastically and gave everyone a hug, then motioned for the players to sit down.

What follows is a long period of communication.

The first is to finalize the heroes.

The first one to decide was Baolan.

Baolan chose Luo.

Luo, as the hero he is best at, almost no other hero, must be Baolan's first choice.

Rookie chose the Trickster Enchantress.

Duke only played twice in the S game. These two times he used Crocodile and Gnar respectively.

After careful consideration, Duke chose Gnar.

The shy is more sophisticated.

He wanted to pick Kalista.

After some earnest persuasion from the designer, The shy changed his mind.

In the end, I chose Yasuo.

The shy chose Yasuo once when playing against SKT.

So it makes sense to finalize this hero.

But this choice made the designer dumbfounded.

On the other hand, Prince Ning gave his love to Kaiyin.

Finally, it was Li Luo's turn to choose.

Ghost Crab rubbed the sweat from his palms.

He felt that Li Luo might choose to play the fortune teller.

However, last year’s champion skin was Fortune Teller. Although Riot has not yet stipulated that the same hero cannot be selected for two consecutive World Championships, if Li Luo really chooses this hero, he will still have to do his best to persuade him.

Li Luo glanced at Bao Lan beside him.

Baolan pretended not to notice, her eyes wandering around.

After pondering for a few seconds, Li Luo made a decision.

"Kasumi."

Baolan next to him was slightly startled, and his eyes seemed to light up at this moment.

As for the details, everyone at IG has already made a unanimous plan in advance.

That is the ink style made of black and white.

The designers only came here to finalize the heroes and styles initially, and the two sides still need to communicate on a lot of details during the subsequent production cycle.

When the IG people left the alliance building, King Ning couldn't help but ask: "Brother Luo, why didn't you choose the fortune teller? That's your representative hero, right?"

Li Luo glanced at him: "There will be a chance in the future."
