As League of Legends becomes more and more popular, the scale of business cooperation becomes larger and larger, and Riot Games expanded to eight wild cards before the official group stage.

Together with Vietnam and LMS, which has not achieved results in recent years, it forms the first and second rounds of screening.

When EDG arrived.

The screening competition has entered its third day.

Xing Dao looked at it out of curiosity and found that it was better not to look at it.

It's the S8 season now, and the playstyle and even the selection of individual wild card teams are still two or three seasons ago.

To study these, it is better to rank a few more games.

As for the training matches...

There were certain twists and turns.

The EDG team, which has won the annual Grand Slam + double crown and participated in MSI as the defending champion, is regarded as the biggest opponent by other clubs, so they are closely guarded against it.

KZ refused to fight without hesitation, without leaving any room.

European champion FNC, North American champion TL, and Taipei champion Flash Wolves FW played together.

But they all have obvious reservations.

"Damn it, they're here to play house, right?"

After Ah Shui played a game of no quality, he couldn't help but click the mouse and start complaining.

In the so-called training match scheduled with FNC, we did not see any operation that a professional team should have. From beginning to end, FNC only used the development + grasping style of play.

Ou Cheng took a policewoman and only focused on last-hitting. As a support, he also chose a wind girl with strong protective ability.

After more than ten minutes of brushing, the winner will be decided on the road.

Then it’s garbage time.

This made Ah Shui, who had done a series of warm-up exercises and wanted to throw off his arms and have a fight with Europe's No. 1 AD, very unhappy.

"FNC is indeed a bit over the top."

Meiko frowned slightly: "Dianlang is at least a little serious, TL is just okay, FNC is just kidding!"

"They want to compete for the championship." The factory director looked at it very openly.

This MSI is using version 8.9.

In this version, AP heroes have once again been comprehensively strengthened following the major changes at the beginning of the season.

Dolan's Ring has changed from restoring mana by replenishing troops to a fixed mana restoration and +5 points of damage to minions.

Income is more stable.

It’s also much more comfortable when it comes to last-hitting.

In addition, AP equipment generally has improved cost performance and strength.

For example, the price of a missing chapter is increased by 200, and the spell power is increased by 15.

Luden's Echo costs 100 less and has 100 more mana.

The price of the spell-binding orb has been increased by 100, and the basic spell power is increased by 20. The total spell power after active activation remains unchanged, and the movement speed bonus is changed from 30% to 50%.

Twin Shadows, Ice Staff, Devil's Codex and subsequent equipment all have free attribute additions.

Heroes such as Syndra and Kassadin, which are suitable for European and American kings, have obtained BUFFs, one with a full-level Q damage +15%, and another with a 50% increase in early shield value.

certainly.

Not all have been enhanced.

One piece of equipment related to AP has been weakened.

That is the Tears of the Goddess, which is most suitable for mixing lanes. On the basis of the price increase of 100 gold coins, more than one-third of the mana regeneration has been cut off.

It goes without saying who it is specifically aimed at.

To know.

The FNC mid laner is Caps, the king of Europe and the king of caps.

TL's mid laner is Pobelter, a Korean player with the nickname "American Tiger".

The mid laner in KZ is a BDD that gives away both C and C. His strength is not very stable, but his upper limit is high enough.

FW’s mid laner is Bay Tiger Maple.

Among the five major regions, the only one that cannot benefit from version 8.9 is EDG with its bastard mid laner.

"It's okay. If you don't want to fight, I won't fight. There are other ways."

Abramovich waved his hand: "I'm going to contact some domestic teams. Even if it's a holiday, I can get five players together to win. At worst, I'll give them a few more games in the summer games."

EDG results are here.

The relationship with other competition regions is indeed not getting better.

But in the LPL, clubs that want to train with EDG can fill the main stage of Super Mall.

Because most clubs have no need to enter the World Championship, they just want a past ranking, show their faces in the playoffs, and have a sense of presence.

Play against EDG, and you can learn a little bit of it, which is enough for the middle and lower reaches of the team.

The most notable examples are Snake and RW.

One is on the same Lingshi Road as EDG, so he has unique conditions and can visit occasionally.

One picked up the championship fragment from EDG, which is a link of connection.

After the spring split, one is second in the Western Conference and the other is second in the Eastern Conference.

It explains the problem very well.

Therefore, it took Abu only a few hours to finish the matter.

Brother Shengqiang, Ning, Doinb, Iboy, and Xiao Ming were temporarily grouped together to serve as EDG's sparring partners.

There are several substitutes waiting nearby.

but.

This kind of thing is relatively hidden.

It will not be known to the outside world for a short time.

The four teams of KZ, FNC, TL, and FW, as well as foreign media who have learned some tidbits, generally believe that EDG is in a dilemma with no quality games to play.

So much so that some media, who are worried about the world being in chaos, have begun to speculate in order to gain popularity.

For example, "The world champion has no training games to play", "Shocked, EDG actually did this", "The championship system has collapsed, can General continue to maintain a worth of tens of millions", "The world's top jungler is obsessed with Rank, which is a loss of morality. , or a distortion of professionalism", "LPL monsters landed in Berlin" and a series of posts mainly made up.

Even worse than UC Shock Department.

"Let me tell you, Europeans are also so good at gossip."

Ai Luoli, who came to the world with the team as a substitute, browsed the English forum and Twitter, and was shocked by a series of comments.

"Translate, translate." The director was very interested.

"Use the one that comes with the browser." Ai Luoli gestured: "It's all just verbal chatter, and you can basically understand it on a computer."

"Let's see...well...it's really funny." The factory director found a new source of fun.

After a while.

At the invitation of the sponsor, Xing Dao, Ah Shui and Meiko, who went to shoot a small commercial, returned to the e-sports hotel.

While waiting for the sparring session, watch together.

"These people are more outrageous than Tieba uncle's gang, how come they still have marginal propaganda." Ah Shui discovered a little secret.

"It's not just a borderline, the SQ industry in Germany is legal." Ai Luoli did science popularization.

"Really?" Ah Shui was very surprised.

"It's true. If you don't believe me, check it out." Ai Luoli was very sure: "Germany was called the European brothel during World War II, and it was always very open. If you meet a beautiful girl saying hello to you on the street, don't be too excited, she may want to do something. Your business.”

"Damn!" Ah Shui put on an indignant expression: "No wonder a girl wearing a robe and a headscarf asked me what my number was when I went upstairs. That's what I thought."

"Isn't it beautiful?" She came closer.

"It's not about whether you're beautiful or not!" Ah Shui angrily said, "Fortunately, Brother Jie refused for me, otherwise I would have been disgusted."

"It's okay to just chat. It would be nice to get to know the local customs. Why would you refuse someone?" His gesture was a pity.

"It's not a rejection. I misunderstood and thought she was asking for a number, so I told her we always called her by our names..." Xing Dao explained.

"???"

"????"

"???!"

If the sun doesn't rise... Tonight will be followed by the sun... Let's see how much sunrise we can get...
