Time flies after arriving in Brazil.

When VG arrived in Rio de Janeiro, they didn’t have the energy to go out and enjoy the scenery. At most, they just relied on their fists to shoot promotional videos and went to a few landmark places to browse.

Arriving in Brazil on the evening of the 7th, the MSI game will kick off at noon on the 10th.

The preparation time left for each team is very limited.

Except for eating, sleeping and sporadic social activities, Gu Xing and his teammates stayed in the training room without leaving the door, trying to adapt to the version as soon as possible.

Unlike last year, when Gu Xing was still needed in the early stage of the World Championship, and Redmi relied on connections to get appointments, now VG can be said to be the most watched team in the world.

After all, the gold content of winning the S-level championship by winning three Koreas in a row is here, so it naturally attracts much attention.

Invitations to training matches are coming in like snowflakes!

VG can now pick and choose and appoint opponents according to Redmi's arrangements.

Anyway, there are conditions.

They can even shout proudly - Who doesn't want to fight me?

The team has a close relationship with Longzhu from coaches to players, but Hongmi has not arranged training with the other party.

This is the strongest imaginary enemy for winning the LPL division.

And more importantly, the playing styles of both sides are very similar.

If you frequently engage in battles, it is easy to expose your tactical system and be targeted by the opponent.

Hongmi wants to hide as many tricks as possible.

Coincidentally, Longzhu thought so too.

The entire team, from top to bottom, regards VG as the strongest contender on the road to winning the championship.

We were prepared for this and did not proactively propose a fight with VG as we did not want to expose any information.

As a result, the winner of the final training match became G2!

Both China and South Korea regard each other as strong rivals, and the strength rating of the Optimistic Family division in the European division is relatively worse.

If VG and Longzhu are tied for the T1 echelon, G2 is probably T1.5.

The all-victorious European overlord, even though the name G2 was synonymous with civil war, fantasy gods, and foreign wars in S6, after Perkz kicked the four major players and exchanged blood, the strength of the members is obviously much higher than that of the EU division, and they are also a powerful team that cannot be underestimated.

strength.

Teams from both China and South Korea major regions believe that G2 is a suitable training match opponent and can guarantee the quality of the match.

This caused G2 to play custom games until his hands were shaking for a few days after arriving in Rio!

I usually make appointments with VG in the afternoon and Longzhu in the evening. I look like a scumbag doing both.

"Isn't Kennen a little too strong at this point?" Smeb asked casually, slumped in his chair after playing a training match, "Just kill him on the road, it's not difficult at all!"

His Kennen lifted his opponent up and hit him all the time. Wunder, who is known as Europe's number one top laner in recent years, didn't even have the ability to fight back!

Song Jinghao gets everything he wants in the single belt, and G2 has absolutely nothing to do with him!

"It's really exaggerated..." Hongmi sat in a wheelchair and continued to play Professor

It has become a must-have for the red side.”

Homme also had to lament the vagaries of version changes.

Kenan isn't even a supermodel.

Because instead of being strengthened recently, he was brutally murdered by the designer!

Version 7.1 is the latest version update of Kennen.

R [Thousand Thunder Heavenly Lao Yin] originally has the best electrotherapy effect and the highest damage when it first enters the field, which helps to produce an explosion immediately.

In the S6 World Championship, many players quickly entered the field by pushing the stick with one hand and flashing electric shocks, delivering high-volume range output.

However, in version 7.1, the designer lowered the basic output of Kennen's ultimate move and increased the subsequent damage of Wan Lei Tian Lao Yin.

In short, the more electricity there is, the more painful it will be.

This unnatural change almost sent the electric rat into the sewer!

Whose Kennan can be so powerful? Pig-nosed!

When the opponent is full of wooden people, you won't resist?

The damage of Electric Mouse's ultimate move is fatally weakened, and his appearance rate in the spring split is quite low. In the LPL's 10-week regular season plus the playoffs, Kennen played a total of 16 games.

It can be said that except for some unique skills, no player will use them!

But on MSI, everything is different.

In the qualifying stage, the top laner of the Vietnamese team GAM took the lead in taking out Kenan.

The play style of Destruction + Ice Hammer + Wisdom's End is eye-catching!

The follow-up divine equipment can supplement the armor and hurricane - the latter can currently have a benefit on Kennen similar to the policewoman's repeated headshots, using the arrows scattered by the hurricane to superimpose W [Secret! Electric Blade].

The assembly idea is very clear.

The first three pieces of the set take the ultimate duel route. Destruction is a magical weapon in duels. Combined with the Ice Hammer, it can immobilize the opponent and help the hero pull at will. The Wisdom End Blade continues to increase attack speed while improving tankiness and fault tolerance.

.

Resurrection Armor and Hurricane are for team battles, and with the health support of Ice Hammer, they can support the opponent's first wave of explosions, and then rely on splitting arrows to continuously stun people and create a large amount of output.

This equipment scheme is also used by players in the spring split of major leagues.

The reason is that the AP style of play has been cut too hard, so I have to find another way to play split push with fast attack flow.

But at that time, the results were quite mediocre, and there was basically no splash.

But by mid-season, top laner Kennen became unstoppable!

After being used by the Vietnamese team, there was a craze for top laner AD Kenan in the qualifying rounds. The BP rate continued to rise, and he has become the hottest top laner in the version!

The reason is that all the other top orders have been slashed!

Especially Qing Gangying and Jayce, the two leaders of the single belt genre were cut, making the split push system unsustainable!

The upstart top laner Xiao Yuren is just a troublemaker. He is positioned in the same position as Ekko last year. His solo lane ability is above average, far inferior to AD Kennen.

It is frank enough and can be used for self-protection with the R Wan Lei Tian Lao Yin, and it is relatively difficult to be cut to death.

It has a long range and has a natural advantage against short-handed heroes.

The ruined team received a big boost in the middle of the spring split, and Kennen undoubtedly reaped the dividends. Together with Ice Hammer, he has extremely strong dueling and pushing abilities.

Anyone who could beat him in the laning was unable to play, and several big brothers were eliminated one after another...

In this case, Kennen took over directly and became the new split-push brother!

Naturally, Hongmi would not miss a great opportunity. After roughly understanding the situation, he urged Smeb to practice quickly.

Song Jinghao is already strong in Kennen and is also very good at split-pushing. As long as he slightly changes his equipment plan and overall thinking, he can smoothly switch from AP play style.

However, Hongmi suddenly worried that the hero's strength was too high, and she might be like the Leopard Girl in last year's World Championship, buying a house in the ban position for a long time.

When the time comes, it will be useless no matter how strong Song Jinghao's Kenan is, he will not be able to use it at all!

Gu Xing interrupted at the right time, "If Kainan is strong, shouldn't we study some restraint methods?"

If Kennen is strong enough to be a mandatory pick for Ban, the red side will bear considerable pressure.

Gu Xing felt that if his team could develop a set of cards that could counter AD Kennen's split push, it might be of great use in the knockout stages.

As long as you deceive the opponent and steal one point, you can instantly reverse the entire BO5 situation!

Hongmi frowned. Sitting in a wheelchair, he looked like a strategist, similar to an ancient military advisor.

"But it's really hard to find a character who can restrain AD Kennen now..."

In the current version, Kennen seems to be overly perfect.

Kuro suggested from the side, "How about the prince?"

Jack echoed, "It seems to be possible, Lao Gu, what do you think?"

In the team battle system, heroes like the Prince who can restrict and block non-displaceable characters are regarded by professional players as Kennen's traditional counter, just like Syndra and Lee Sin.

Moreover, the prince likes to strengthen it in version 7.7. W [Golden Holy Shield] can gain a percentage increase in health based on the number of enemy heroes it affects.

Currently, some players are trying to play top lane in ranked matches.

"I don't think so," Gu Xing shook his head, "The most the prince can do is fight AP Kennen. Aren't those who play the AD style looking for death?"

Kennen, who takes the push stick route, has no recovery ability, and is easily consumed by the prince using Q [Dragon Crash] during the laning phase, until he is forced to return to the city to resupply.

At the same time, I rely heavily on R's high burst when entering the field. The prince's ultimate move [Heaven and Earth Shatters] can trap the opponent in a building and make it difficult to escape.

But AD Kenan, who defeated Ice Hammer, is not afraid of the prince at all!

First, use the Vampire Scepter, coupled with the blood-sucking ability of Dolan Sword, you can completely rely on the line.

By then, the prince has not crippled Kenan, and I am afraid that his own mana will be drained out first!
