As long as the wages are in place, all champions will be crushed to pieces

Chapter 319 Drawing lots, great luck!

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, all members of JD.com landed at Seoul Airport. While taking photos in the airport lobby, many international students here came to pick them up.

Everyone stayed at the door for a while to satisfy the fans' demand for photos, and then they were received by Korean boxing staff and boarded the bus to the hotel.

The competition venues for the play-in and group stages are both in Seoul.

After arriving at the hotel and completing the check-in procedures, the team members returned to the room to sort out their luggage, and then immediately came to the training room.

The training room is still a temporary transformation of the hotel's conference room, with baffles used to isolate an exclusive area for each team.

When Li Feifan came to the training area, he discovered that... the European and American teams had come to Korea earlier than them.

Can also understand.

Let’s not say anything if the North American division is completely ruined. In the European division, there are often teams that can make rapid progress during the World Championship. A large part of the reason is that they are out of the originally bad environment and can conduct high-intensity training with strong teams from China and South Korea. race.

The players in Europe are not bad in talent to begin with, they just lack a good training environment. As soon as the training intensity increases, their original strength is suddenly stimulated, and their strength is shown to improve by leaps and bounds.

Thanks to his outstanding performance throughout the year, Li Feifan has accumulated a certain degree of popularity in the League of Legends e-sports circle around the world.

Many players from the wild card division teams came to him specifically to take photos.

"Yo yo yo, our old Li has become a big star!" Lin Weixiang was very envious. Compared with Li Feifan, he was just a transparent person that no one cared about.

Who doesn't want to make a name for themselves in a professional career?

"You said this as if Lao Li has become a big star just now." Liu Qingsong rolled his eyes, "You can only be envious."

"Can you stop the dog from barking?" Lin Weixiang rolled his eyes angrily.

Li Feifan had just returned to the training room at this time, and there were not many BBs in Redmi. "Sit down quickly and have a brief meeting. The update content of version 8.19 is out."

Riot has already announced that 8.19 will be the version of the World Championship.

Redmi still distributed the update information prepared in advance to the players, and then analyzed and explained, "The update of version 8.19 is not large, and the heroes such as Sword Demon, Blade Dancer, and Akali have not been affected. Knife, that is to say... this time the World Championship will still be based around these heroes for BP."

"But what deserves attention is that... Noshou and Sword Princess have been slightly strengthened. In the jungle, Spider, Prince and Mantis have also been strengthened to varying degrees. Obviously, Riot Games is still encouraging the team to attack."

Li Feifan lowered his head and glanced.

Spider's W and E skill CDs have been greatly reduced, the cooldown of Prince's passive [Rhythm of War] has been changed to 6 seconds at all levels, Mantis' Q skill AD bonus and W damage increase, these are huge enhancements that can be extremely effective. Greatly improve the combat effectiveness of these heroes in the jungle in the early stage.

Mainly these heroes are early rhythm junglers. Although Mantis is not a rhythm jungler, the gameplay of this hero is to focus on attacking in the jungle.

"At the same time, we must also combine the changes in the previous versions. The strength of Akali, Blade Dancer, and Sword Demon are all very OP." The information prepared by Redmi is very detailed, and it is not just the update of version 8.19.

Instead, all changes to several key heroes from 8.17 to 8.19 are put on it.

This will make it clear.

After Dao Mei's Q has been weakened in several versions, Riot has adjusted the damage coefficient of her Q skill to minions. Don't underestimate this change. Whether Dao Mei's Q can directly kill ranged soldiers is a big gap.

Being able to Q to death means constantly Qing and breaking the passive. If you can kill the ranged soldier with just a little damage, then it is cutting off the Q. Once the Q is cut off, the sword girl basically has no chance of winning.

The same goes for Sword Demon.

In the past, Sword Demon E would directly receive two layers of charge, which means it could be used twice immediately. However, after the modification in version 8.18, Sword Demon E can now only obtain one layer of charge, but as compensation...

The recovery ability of the hero's damage provided by the E skill has been greatly improved.

However, the CD of Sword Demon's ultimate move was slashed by 20 seconds, and the level 1 CD was increased from 140 seconds to 160 seconds. This is also a huge weakening.

Overall.

The current strength of Sword Demon has dropped from T0, and it is barely a T1 existence. The team fighting ability is still excellent, but the laning depends on the player's personal ability. There are many heroes who can handle Sword Demon.

This means that this hero is no longer a non-ban option.

As for Akali? ?

It can be said to be the only T0 in the current version, because Riot has not made any weakening changes to Akali so far. The designer did express on Twitter that he would make a series of weakenings for Akali, but as of now, it is After drawing a pie, no substantive changes appeared at all.

Just in the 8.18 version, Akali's ultimate move was cut off by 20 points of basic damage, and it didn't hurt at all.

Anyone who has played Akali knows that this hero is not lacking in damage at all. Even if you cut 20 points of basic damage from his ultimate move, it will still not affect Akali's crispy skin.

The core W Xia Formation can still shield the defense tower, which is the most outrageous (Akali's W was only weakened in S9).

Although Akali's combat power is average in the early stage, her Q skill can restore blood when she is close to full energy, combined with the talent of [Swift Step]... Akali's ability to rely on lane is very strong, you only need to let Akali transition to level 6 , full blood is Akali’s killing line.

"By the way, there is a change in the bottom lane that you need to pay attention to. Lucian has been slightly strengthened." Hongmi reminded, "This hero may change the ecological environment of the bottom lane."

Even though bot lane magic cores were once the mainstream in the league, later everyone still felt that they couldn't do without regular shooters. After all, the tower-pushing attributes of shooters are difficult to replace with mages.

Bomberman is an anomaly, but the fault tolerance rate of this hero is too low. Choosing Bomberman means that the entire lineup is biased toward poke attributes. And when the face-attacking heroes like Akali and Sword Girl are so strong, the poke system is easy to change. If you make a mistake, you will be destroyed.

therefore……

The mainstream shooter choices in the bottom lane are still Kai'Sa and Xayah. One can be used with the face attack system, and the other is invincible with counterattacks.

but……

Kai'Sa and Xayah both have a shooting range of only 525 yards, and they are short-handed shooters. Moreover, the current growth curve of these two heroes basically requires a two-piece set to be effective.

Kai'Sa needs Arashi Kiri + Sheep Knife to evolve Q, and later needs Nash's Fang to evolve W and E. The total price of these three pieces of equipment is nearly 10000.

The same goes for Kasumi.

The blue-sucking knife + endless are the core, and the artillery can be added later to evolve into the complete form.

The development cycles of these two shooters are very long, and Lucian is mainly focused on laning. If he is defeated, he can form substantial combat power and follow his teammates to fight everywhere.

If you use Kai'Sa or Xayah to line up with Lucian, it's easy for them to push you flat before you even develop.

of course.

The specific strength of the hero still needs to be tested through actual combat matches. Purely from the surface of the data, we can only make a rough guess. "In the past two days, you will still focus on personal ranking. After two days, I will help contact you for training matches. Then we will play training matches every day. You should be prepared." Hongmi vaccinated the players in advance.

Thanks to JD.com’s outstanding performance in MSI and intercontinental competitions, it is still the No. 1 seed team in the LPL.

With so much aura, many teams are willing to approach JD.com to arrange training matches.

The reason why Hongmi had to wait for two days was mainly because it wanted to wait for the results of the group stage draw. If the target of the training match every day was its group stage opponent, wouldn't it be equivalent to revealing its tactical reserves in advance?

He doesn't do this kind of loss-making business.

Li Feifan and others also use the super account provided by Hanquan to conduct high-intensity personal training in the Korean server. Due to the influx of a large number of professional players, the Korean server, which was originally high in gold, now has more gold in it.

It's not that Li Fan dislikes the top of the canyon.

But purely from a training perspective, the Korean server is indeed beating the top of the canyon.

after all……

There are not that many anchors in the Korean server who want to compete with professional players to create traffic gimmicks, nor are there that many weird and unique guys.

On the one hand, players must maintain their own status when ranking, and on the other hand, they must accumulate experience in laning and make some operations become instincts of the body.

Can……

What is the use of accumulating laning experience against such heroes as Big Head Unique Brother, Barbarian King Unique Brother, Alchemist Unique Brother... These heroes have almost no chance to appear in the game?

Isn't that just a waste of your time?

Oh, what a coincidence.

The most indispensable thing in the national server is this kind of unique skills, which is very confusing.

The night of September 9th.

All members of JD.com gathered together to watch the lottery ceremony!

The LCK also attaches great importance to it. The draw guests are also some well-known players. The draw guests for the group stage are those who used to play for the CJ team. In the S5 season, they also came to the LPL team to play for the LGD team. They are known as the 'princess' The first-generation handsome top laner, Flame!

The lottery rules are still the same.

The No. 1 seed team will enter a card pool. Because of the poor performance of the North American region in the World Championships in the past year or so, the No. 1 seed in the North American region cannot enter the No. 1 seed card pool and has to fall to the No. 2 seed. Seed pool.

The four teams in the No. 1 seed pool are JD.com, KT, Fnatic and Flash Wolves.

There are a total of eight teams in the second seed, namely SKT, MAD, 100T, Liquid, IG, VIT, PVB, and RNG.

Because the LPL won the S7 global finals and the S8 MSI championship in the past year, so... with the best overall results, the LPL's third seed, RNG, can skip the play-in rounds and directly enter the main stage.

Instead, Griffin, the third seed in the LCK, C9, the third seed in the North American division, and G2, the third seed in the European division, all need to start from the play-in round.

There is also a principle to avoid teams in the same division in the group stage, that is, JD.com is unlikely to encounter RNG and IG in the group stage. In this case... In fact, the range of opponents that the JD.com group may face is suddenly reduced a lot.

"Is it best to avoid SKT in the group stage? These monsters seem to have changed as soon as they arrive at the World Championship." Lin Weixiang is still a little timid.

As long as SKT's mid laner is named Lee Sang Hyuk, no one will question their dominance in the World Championship.

"Who knows, it doesn't matter." Li Feifan smiled and waved his hand, "It doesn't make much difference to us. Anyway, if we want to win the championship, they are all our opponents. It doesn't matter who we meet."

Li Feifan's attitude has always been clear.

As long as the goal is to win the championship, then you have to beat everyone! !

Having any illusions, thinking about who and so can help you defeat a strong enemy, and placing your hopes on others is a mentality that only the weak can have!

"You are Lao Li...you have never lost." Lin Weixiang curled his lips.

He envied and admired Li Feifan's mentality, but he also knew that you couldn't learn this mentality at all.

Li Feifan's confidence lies in the fact that he has rarely lost since his debut and has a strong personal foundation.

he?

How could an ADC player who was almost unemployed have such a mentality as Li Feifan?

While talking.

In the live broadcast, the very handsome Flame has come to the glass jar at the booth, reached his hand into it, symbolically moved the ball, and then took out a ball and unscrewed it! !

The first team to be drawn out is...the JD team, followed by the Flash Wolves, KT and Fnatic teams, corresponding to the four groups A, B, C and D respectively! !

The drawing of lots is still going on.

In the second seed pool, teams other than RNG and IG may be opponents of JD.com in the group stage.

And among Flame’s various draws, the final draw results are also presented! !

The three teams in Group A are: JD.com, PVB, and VIT.

The three teams in Group B are: Flash Wolves, RNG, and SKT.

The three teams in Group C are: KT, MAD, and Liquid.

The three teams in Group D are: Fnatic, 100T, and IG.

In fact, judging from this grouping situation, it is easy to determine JD.com’s last opponent. PVB is a team from the Vietnam Division, and 100T is a team from the North American Division. So... JD.com’s opponents are either C9 from the North American Division, or from the LCK. Griffin in the division.

According to the principle of avoiding the same division, the last team in Group A can only come from one of these two clubs.

"Guigui, this grouping situation... I feel like the strength of each group is pretty average? There doesn't seem to be any death group." Li Feifan took a closer look at the grouping situation.

come to such a conclusion.

The only group that has a high probability of being related to the group of death is Group D or Group B, but the specifics will depend on the subsequent draw.

Anyway, for JD.com...

This lottery is a top lottery!

After all, PVB is basically equivalent to going to the wild card division, and VIT is a team from the European division, and its overall strength is also very average.

Even if a Griffin or C9 team comes, it will not affect JD.com's position in Group A at all!
