Chapter 424 How Could It Be a Wild Core?

"7/7/7?"

"Moojin, this rock bird, has his own ideas!"

"Director, tell me honestly, did the last wave of attacks happen to him?"

Malaxiangguo looked at the performance of the junglers of the FW team and couldn't help but start teasing:

"Moojin's last wave of operations was exactly the same as the previous one!"

"If the previous operation is still the same, it is estimated that FW will really lose to Vietnam."

"There's nothing like this." The factory director raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Even if I can really get on top, I can't get on a stick, right?"

"stick?"

"The jungler of the provincial team is not Chinese!"

Spicy Xiangguo's eyes widened.

"ah?"

"You didn't even get to know your opponent?"

When the factory director saw the reaction of the spicy hot pot, his eyes widened, and then his face became a little solemn.

This season, EDG had some problems with running-in at the beginning of the spring split, and its performance on the court was unsatisfactory.

The rest of the time, it was smooth sailing.

Whether it's the Spring Split playoffs, MSI, Summer Split, or Intercontinental Split, they are sweeping everything with an unstoppable momentum.

This made him, as well as the players on the entire team, feel full of pride.

Thinking of this, the factory director couldn't help but frown.

Arrogant soldiers will be defeated!

It doesn't matter in the past or in the future, whether it is a war or a competition.

In every 'battle', there will inevitably be the following defeats, which are the so-called upsets.

Compared to e-sports, which is more of an accidental event, the probability of an upset happening is even more terrifying!

Like the S6 World Championship, EDG was eliminated in the quarterfinals. Ahem, at least the factory director felt that Guodian still had hope of reaching the semifinals that year.

In the S7 season, Longzhu Team, the favorite to win the championship at the time, also suffered an overturn in the quarterfinals.

And today's World Championship is a version where a hundred flowers bloom!

Various systems can be used on the field.

And there is a restrained relationship between systems.

EDG's lineup this season, on paper, is actually the top and jungle combination.

However, just by relying on the top and jungle combination, EDG was able to win championships one after another, making RNG next door envious.

In fact, after nearly half a month of exploration, EDG's training team has a relatively deep understanding of the World Championship version.

On the surface, both version 8.18 and version 8.19 have strengthened the top lane.

But in fact, these changes are not good for EDG. On the contrary, it is precisely because of these changes that many teams that are not very strong in the top lane can become more "oil" in the top lane.

Heroes such as Prince and Nuoshou, which were enhanced in version 8.19, are not too difficult to operate online, and because their attributes have been enhanced by the designer, they will never lack damage.

Coupled with the prince's q skill and Nuo Shou's q skill, they are the best line clearers among the top lane heroes.

In this way, by choosing these heroes, you can escape the lane on the top lane and wait steadily for small-scale team battles or mid- to late-game team battles.

Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of Prince and Noshou in the small-scale team battles in the early and mid-term.

The former's EQ2 chain and armor-breaking attributes cause extremely high burst damage to squishy skin.

As long as the latter hits Blood Rage, the combat effectiveness will be qualitatively improved, and if the Q skill hits, it can also restore a percentage of the lost health, making it really invincible in early small team battles.

So these changes that seem to be good for the top lane are not making EDG's already strong top lane even stronger.

In fact, it allows teams that are not strong in the top lane to stabilize the early stage.

After all, when there is a choice of heroes, the factory director will definitely not let Jiang Zhun play heroes like Prince or Nuo Shou.

This is really overkill.

In the summer split, ADC's critical strike equipment underwent another revision.

This weakens the ability of the bottom lane to cover the bottom.

As a result, the game becomes more emphasis on linkage with the middle and jungle.

EDG has a lot of midfielder and jungler linkages, but due to Hae Sungmin's hero pool and personal strength, not every game can link up.

This makes it much more difficult for EDG to establish an advantage in the early stage than before.

In fact, the impact of version changes can be seen from the data.

Before the summer playoffs, the average length of EDG games was 27 and a half minutes.

But before the start of the playoffs and during the training matches during the playoffs, the EDG game actually took about two minutes longer on average than before.

The extra two minutes were basically caused by the fact that the advantage gained in the early stage was not large enough.

"So it's time to play a game. You don't even know what country your opponent is. Have you not prepared before the game?"

The factory director still asked the spicy hot pot sharp questions.

What he is most worried about is that repeated victories over the past year will paralyze the players and stop actively participating in training and preparations.

The League of Legends competition values ​​the results achieved in the World Championship more than any other competition.

Even if they win all the championships this season except the World Championship, others will think that this year's World Championship is the strongest in terms of gold content.

All in all, we must not let things slip at such a critical time.

Facing the factory director's questioning, Mala Xiangguo said with a smile:

"I must have understood it."

"I played against him during the mid-season. I chatted with him for a few words at that time. This guy's Chinese is pretty good, and he also learned the curved motorcycle accent very well."

"So I always thought he was not a stick."

"I've been studying his recent Rank records and jungle routes."

"You can rest assured."

"Ouch." The factory director breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the spicy hotpot's words.

Maybe the memory of the top eight from previous years is too deep.

Therefore, the closer he got to the knockout round, the more panicked he became, always feeling that something terrible might happen.

"I hope to draw RNG," the director prayed silently in his heart.

After a whole year of competition, if you want to say which team is the most confident in facing the best of five, the director will definitely say RNG without hesitation.

There is no other reason.

It's because among the teams that EDG has played against, RNG is the team that has played the most BO5s against EDG.

Although the opponent's players and the overall strength they have shown this season are very strong.

But for some reason, EDG seems to be an anti-RNG armor.

In a BO5 match with teams like IG or KT, it is not difficult for EDG to win, but if they want to win 3:0, it will be more difficult.

But if the opponent is replaced by RNG, the director can become confident.

Because the opponent's tactical style is too distinct, and the players know each other too well.

It is no exaggeration to say that no team knows how to play RNG better than EDG!

"Hey, everyone should work harder in this year's group stage."

"Strive to end with a 3:0 victory."

"This way in the second round next week, we can play more relaxedly and have less pressure on ourselves."

"Hey, it's really uncomfortable to be assigned to Group A."

"Who knows what they could be hiding."

The factory director couldn't help but sigh.

Although each team has basically explored the World Championship version through training matches, each team's view of the World Championship version will definitely be slightly different depending on the player lineup and coaches.

By then everyone may have a trump card.

If there is a life-or-death situation in the group stage and the team uses its trump card to ensure advancement, it will be extremely passive in the next knockout rounds.

"Factory director, you can rest assured."

"Playing in the group stage won't be seen as a life-or-death battle."

"Besides, our group is relatively easy to advance to."

"You can just relax and study your opponents in the knockout rounds."

Meikou couldn't help but joke.

After thinking about it, the factory director also felt that the team members were right, and he was indeed a little too worried.

After all, the game just ended very neatly, and the next EDG game did not start.

After just one game, I started to worry about whether I could advance to the knockout rounds. This was really superfluous and unfounded.

"In this case, when we play the Vietnamese team in the next game, we can try to play jungle core and have a head-on confrontation with them."

"Anyway, the players in their three lanes are too weak. Even though moojin has regained his touch in the last wave of team battles, his jungle thinking is very problematic."

"We attach great importance to the fight for the River Swift Crab and the teamfight of the Rift Herald."

"But the Vietnamese team prefers to control the dragon and the baron."

"Their tactical thinking is destined to lag behind economically in the early stage."

"..."

…

"Choose a male gun for Mala Xiangguo?"

The FW team almost overturned when they played the Vietnamese team, which made it difficult for each team to evaluate the strength of the Vietnamese team.

Therefore, most teams did not choose to skip the group match between EDG and the Vietnamese team, which had the most disparity in strength, but started to watch it carefully from the BP stage.

After all, there are always one or two dark horse teams in the World Championship every year.

Although they may not win the world championship, there is no doubt about the strength they have shown.

If many dark horse teams can continue to maintain the original lineup in the second year, they will conduct running-in training among the players.

Then there is even the possibility of sprinting for better results.

"Spicy hot pot can't be used as a male gun, right? The hero male gun must have a strong flavor."

Xiaohu immediately began to comment harshly on his old teammates:

"According to his jungle habits, he would wander into other people's jungle areas before he finished swiping the wild monsters in the middle. This way, he wouldn't be able to develop at all."

"You have to capture the male gun hero. Even if you are disadvantaged online, you can't control it. You have to do everything you can to take advantage of the economy."

"You just have to play the same way as the anchor named Zhang, even eating the lines of your teammates."

"Hahaha." Xiaohu's words made Zhi Zi and Yan Junze laugh at the same time.

"According to what you say, there's really no way for him to play spicy hotpot."

"It's impossible for him to eat on Xiao Jiang's route."

"In the early stage, Zet in the middle lane was very stable. He basically stayed in the lane. Even if Zet didn't clear the lane when his male gun passed by the middle lane, he couldn't just grab the lane directly, right?"

"As for the bottom lane, I don't believe in a brush-type AD like Sima Lao Zei. He can dirty the soldiers."

Everyone in RNG laughed endlessly when they saw the outlaws selected by EDG on the third floor.

…

"I feel like I can't play this hero. Why don't you give me another one?"

"If the opponent finds a hero who can do things in the early stage, I will be very embarrassed."

After the male gun was locked, Malaxiangguo still hesitated and said: "Actually, I feel that it is good to take either Prince or Camille in this round. There is no need to choose the male gun for me."

"Now that you've chosen everything, let's just have fun."

"Anyway, the opposite side is the Vietnamese team!"

The old thief Sima yelled, "Are you still afraid that you can't beat their jungler?"

"No, it's just that I haven't played this hero for a long time."

"Didn't I see that you just played two games when you were ranking two days ago?"

"Rank has played twice, but not in training games."

"When I play the hero Male Gun, I can't help but lean on the lane in the early stages. It's such a waste of time in the jungle."

The spicy hot pot is still a bit unconfident.

From RNG to EDG, he still hasn't gotten rid of the mark of his hunger strike as a jungler.

"How about I play with the male gun?"

Jiang Zhun suddenly said: "The top lane on the opposite side is Nuo Shou, and I think I can hit it."

"The male gun is on the road? What will you do if Noshou sprints and flashes Allin on the other side?"

Malaxiangguo said quickly: "I'd better go to the wild."

"It's fine."

"Suppress his blood volume in the early stage and he will have no chance."

Jiang Zhun was very confident.

"I have a quick pace, and I feel like I can still hit the ground running."

"You just choose a pig girl to help me train him."

"Is that okay?" The factory director was a little hesitant when he heard Jiang Zhun's words.

Although the ecology of the current version on the road is quite rich.

Even various mages and ADC heroes can appear on the top lane.

But for the top laner’s male gun, I’ve never seen anyone use it in a game.

"sure."

"I'm confident."

"Okay, since you are confident, then you can get a pig girl for the spicy hotpot." After hearing Jiang Zhun's affirmative answer, the factory director gave him his trust without hesitation.

Subsequently, after EDG completed the second round of BP, they directly locked in Zhu Mei.

"Pig sister!"

"Top laner Pig Girl? This hero can't beat Nuo Shou, the damage is too low."

The commentators were all surprised when they saw EDG's selection on the fourth floor.

"No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a top lane pig girl."

"It's impossible for the factory director to get such a hero for Nexus."

"Especially when the opponent chooses Nuoshou."

"Wait a minute, it's not the top male gunner!"

After Miller was stunned for a moment, he immediately realized: "When the male gunman walks on the road, he actually has long hands and short hands."

"Moreover, the male gun has displacement, and the W skill smoke bomb is a bit stupid."

"As long as Nuoshou is inside the smoke bomb and the gun is outside, he can't even level a."

"In this way, it will be more difficult for Nuoshou to fight Blood Rage."

"More importantly, including the ultimate move, the male gun actually has two stages of displacement."
