Chapter 90 Mid-Season Tournament Begins! (Fourth update, please subscribe)

May 2nd.

All GT members arrived at the Brazilian hotel arranged by Riot.

He Youjun took a look at the room opened by Riot Games, frowned, and upgraded it directly with a wave of his hand.

When playing a game, it is very important to be in good shape.

They had just finished a long flight and the rest area was so mediocre. This was definitely not acceptable.

It’s true that the experience is great after the room upgrade.

However, the first thing facing GT is not to rest.

Because the mid-season version used is 7.7, not the 7.5 version of the LPL playoffs.

There is only a little over a day left, and we must adapt well within this day.

There is still pressure.

After all, in order to play domestic games, I have been adapting to version 7.5 of the national server.

Now global competitions have skipped two versions, not to mention that the mid-season version has two very critical changes.

The first is the reworked return of Galio, the Colossus of Justice has a new mechanism, and the effect of the ultimate skill is very terrifying. It can provide long-distance support while also reducing damage.

In addition to the rework of Shen in the top lane, the slight enhancement of the big worm, and the small changes to the Rift Herald, after killing it, you can not only get a return to city buff, but also an Eye of the Herald. Using the Eye of the Herald can summon the Rift Herald and cause huge damage to the defense tower!
In this case, basically taking the Rift Herald means taking the first tower.

In this way, Riot has obviously increased the confrontation over resources in the early stages.

After all, it’s not very entertaining to keep developing and waiting for a team fight for 20 or 30 minutes.

Assign a value to the Rift Herald, so that you can’t just release it whenever you want like before.

After all, the previous Rift Herald was meaningless, and you couldn’t get a direct economic advantage even if you got it.

The health bar is thick and it is purely a matter of controlling yourself if you go over and attack.

But now the Rift Herald can push towers. Not to mention the 650 economic benefits of the first blood tower, the subsequent vision suppression is also worth a thousand gold.

Some fans who are more knowledgeable couldn’t help but start criticizing the LPL officials.

Everyone can understand that there is a difference of one version, but you bastard, there are two versions difference?

However, this has always been a feature of the national server.

When the lol version is updated, the Chinese server will not be updated directly simultaneously.

The most important thing is that it still needs to be checked before entering the country. In case the designer smuggles something private and brings in something sensitive, the LPL will explode.

Not to mention that it will affect Tencent later.

It’s understandable, but such a big difference is a bit outrageous.

Fortunately, Li Yi has a deep understanding of the version.

Galio’s proficiency is also there now.

After all, there are really few people who can practice heroes faster than him.

Your proficiency in lying down and sleeping will increase rapidly.

Although a lot of counterattack points were used.

But the effect was indeed there. First, I filled up Syndra and got my first five-star hero.

The four-star ones are Leblanc+, Vladimir, Talon, Clockwork, Carter, Card, Galio+, Tsar, Viktor, Corki, Lucian, Ice Girl, and Tristana.

Samsung also has Fenjie and Lulu, two auxiliary mid laners.

The hero pool is quite deep.

If GimGoon and Galio cannot be trained, it is not impossible for him to grab the mid lane Galio by stealing instead of banning.

But Li Yi still believes in the speed at which the champion top laner practices heroes.

As long as it can be used in the knockout round, it won’t be too slow.

Then why the Ice Girl is specially taken out for special training is because the Ice Girl has been greatly strengthened in this version.

But the passive skill now is still to use a skill for free.

It still depends more on the effect of the big move. However, with the early entry of the censer version, the effect of such a functional mid-lane will be much better than expected.

As for the rest, it depends on how the teammates adapt during the game.

If we can’t keep up the speed, we will really be held back.

In a confrontation between two powerful forces, any slight mistake could be fatal.

Moreover, Li Yi did not believe that SKT had not discovered the incense burner. Perhaps they had already studied it thoroughly and discovered the core of it.

SKT can achieve such exaggerated results not only by relying on strong players, but the coaching staff also plays a key role.

Every time in the global finals, we can quickly adjust to the latest version.

This laid the foundation for achieving good results.

The day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was May 4th.

This is also the first day of the mid-season group stage.

“come on, come on, come on!”

Early in the morning, GT boarded the bus to the scene.

Although we haven’t adapted to the version that well, everyone is still very excited.

This is their first time participating in a world-class competition, and it’s very interesting to think about competing against other regions.

When they arrived at the scene, they found that the door was crowded with people.

Crowds of people!

This was something no one expected.

Does League of Legends have such a big influence in Brazil?

Not only that, we also saw many Chinese faces holding GT signs in their hands.

It really gave Li Yi a completely different experience.

It’s amazing that there are so many people cheering for me in a foreign country.

Many people even painted the national flag on their faces…

Of course there are quite a few cosplayers, it would be strange if there weren’t any in a competition like this.

“No wonder everyone wants to play in global competitions. Even the mid-season tournament is so big! What will the global finals be like?”

“The global finals are in the country, so you can go and watch it if you want.”

“Bullshit, we must be sitting on the stage to play the game!” Wushuang couldn’t help but retort when he heard Jin Han’s words.

“Then we have to work harder… before that we have to get through the mid-season tournament!”

The group stage is relatively simple, with only one group and six teams playing a double round-robin bo1.

There are ten games in total. After the games, the points ranking will be determined and the top four will advance to the knockout stage.

In general, the pressure in the group stage is not that great.

The one ranked first can beat the fourth from the bottom, which is an advantage.

But then again, although RNG ranked first in the group in last year’s mid-season tournament, SKT was fourth in the group.

Everyone knows the final result, RNG was defeated…

Therefore, for strong teams, it is enough to qualify in the group stage.

Anyway, if you want to win the championship, you just need to win all the bo5s.

One of today’s opponents is the big brother of the wildcard team GAM, and the other is the North American cult TSM.

“Let’s go. There’s not much pressure in playing against the two teams today. Don’t be so nervous. Try your best to win the first day.” Li Jiongjun patted everyone’s shoulders and asked them to relax.

After the opening ceremony with Brazilian drums.

At 2 a.m. Beijing time, the mid-season group stage officially kicked off between G and SKT!
This time is indeed a bit too gloomy for domestic audiences.

It’s such an exciting game, who would want to miss it?
