Chapter 569 Summer Season
As time passed, the public opinion storm gradually subsided.
It is impossible for the LPL official to kick RNG out of the LPL. It is already very good to be able to make them pay a fine. At least on the surface, Kwon Jong-hyuk has been stripped of his title of manager.
Although he is not a manager, Kwon Jong-hyuk still stays in the RNG base.
He is not a manager in name, but he is a manager in reality.
There is no way. Bai Xing really needs someone to help him deal with the club's affairs. Kwon Jong-hyuk's methods are sometimes dishonorable, but for RNG, which is currently short of funds, such dishonorable methods can allow the club to survive.
All in all, the matter just passed.
The summer season starts on June 10st, and there are only days left until the end of MSI. After the dispute with RNG is over, the vacation will naturally end.
During this period, the official updated the game twice.
Most of them are adjustments to hero values, and there are only three really big changes.
The first is the weakening of the hero Pike.
Ever since Shen Lang performed perfectly with Pike in the MSI finals, Pike has instantly become a popular hero in Rank games. The key is that no one plays support when this hero is selected. He is either top lane or mid lane.
This is obviously different from the official positioning. In the official plan, this is a support hero.
So the designer's knife quickly chopped down:
E skill removes damage to minions.
Just this change immediately makes Pike return to the support position. If he only relies on the Q skill, even if he uses Tiamat, the clearing speed is not very fast. If the minion line cannot be handled, he naturally cannot roam. With this change, it is rare to see Pike going to the middle lane or top lane in high-end games.
However, in low-end games, there are still many people who choose Pike to go to the middle lane or top lane, so the designers quickly made another adjustment, and the Q skill changed from AOE damage to single-target damage. After this change, no one played Pike in the solo lane even in low-end games anymore.
Another change is the rework of the hero Iron Man.
It is said that the old version of Iron Man is powerful, but the appearance rate of this hero is very low. In Shen Lang's opinion, this rework is undoubtedly a success.
Compared to the old version of Iron Man, the new version of Iron Man is the real numerical monster.
The last major change is the launch of the new hero Qiyana.
If the new version of Iron Man is a numerical monster, then the new hero Qiyana is the numerical value among the numerical values.
When an assassin hero has damage, control, and life-saving abilities, coupled with exaggerated stats, there is no doubt that he is absolutely invincible.
For a mid-lane player like Shen Lang who is good at operations, the appearance of this hero is undoubtedly the icing on the cake. Using the tanking system, Shen Lang quickly maxed out his proficiency in this hero. He could even imagine himself holding Qiyana and killing everyone on the field.
The key is that it is still difficult for designers to target this hero. The skill mechanism is there, and even if the values are weakened, the impact is not that big in the hands of players who are good at operations.
……
Time passed, and soon it was June 1st.
Today is Children's Day, and it is also EDG's game day.
As usual, the official will arrange two very popular teams to play in the opening game, and now in the entire LPL, no one is more popular than EDG.
The opening game is between EDG and RNG.
The conflict between Shen Lang and RNG is now known to everyone. The official arranged the two teams to play the opening game at this time, which can only be said that they really understand traffic.
The regular season of this summer season adopts a single round-robin group system. The 16 teams are not divided into groups and use a points system. Bo3 games are played. The winner will get one point and the loser will get no points.
The competition system is relatively simpler and the schedule is shorter. The single round-robin system means that every game is very crucial.
However, for EDG, advancing is not a difficult thing.
Shen Lang originally planned not to play in the first half of the regular season. If his teammates played well, he would not play in the second half either. He would wait until his teammates were no longer strong enough and then he would play to catch up.
However, the official directly predicted his actions and called him before the game started.
You don’t have to play in other regular season games, but it’s best to play in the opening game.
Shen Lang had just received official support, and their attitude was also very good. He had to give them face at this time, so although he was not very willing, Shen Lang still chose to appear in the opening game.
"Is there anything more annoying than working overtime? If the officials hadn't told me to play, I would still be sleeping at home."
Before the game started, Shen Lang complained in the lounge.
“Does this count as overtime?”
Abu looked helpless, "Don't you have any manners as a professional player? You are sleeping at home on the official competition day. Is that reasonable?"
"Professionalism? What is that?"
Shen Lang said with a smile.
There was a very complicated ceremony before the opening match, and by the time the players from both sides came on stage, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Today's score must be 2:0, and the total time of the two games cannot exceed one hour. If anyone drags us down... hehe..."
While debugging the equipment, Shen Lang started to make threats directly.
What is a team bully?
This is the team tyrant!
Although the punishment was not stated directly, it could be seen from Shen Lang's sinister expression that it was definitely not a comfortable thing.
Thinking of this, the expressions on the EDG members' faces turned sad.
RNG is not a third-rate team, and they are not a team that focuses on the early and mid-term rhythm. They are better at four protecting one and dragging to the late stage. With Shen Lang, defeating RNG is not a big problem, but if they want to finish both games within 30 minutes, it can only be said that it is still very difficult.
After a brief preparation, the director finally turned the camera to the commentary booth.
"Good afternoon, dear audience friends. This is the regular season of the League of Legends LPL Summer Season. Today, EDG and RNG will bring us a wonderful game. Both teams are very strong, especially EDG. They won the championship trophy in the MSI not long ago and are in hot form now. Their opponent RNG made personnel adjustments in the summer season and introduced a new top laner Langxing. The specific effect is unknown..."
The commentators for today's game are Wawa and Miller, with invited guest Zizi.
After a brief self-introduction, Miller said with a smile: "Without further ado, let's move on to the pre-match announcement..."
