Chapter 285: Factory Manager's "Panda Pig" Skin
The ink-and-wash bamboo forest is thick and thin, full of vitality and complexity, cool and advanced, full of fun, showing the charm of form and meaning.
Everyone in the office was surprised, as if they didn't expect Riot to make the Chinese style animation so vivid.
"Did they borrow the artist from Pain Xun?"
"No, the wild boars from Pain Xun can't do such a delicate job!"
"It should be from NetEase."
The ink-and-wash animation, coupled with the sound of stringed instruments, creates a melodious and long-lasting atmosphere of detachment from the world. At first glance, it seems as if you have fallen into the hidden place of the Jianghu knights. The brain is instantly empty and indifferent, and the heart is full of yearning.
The wind blows the bamboo sound, the camera zooms in, and the delicate and hearty bamboo leaves dance with the wind.
The sound of stringed instruments becomes more and more urgent and louder.
Suddenly, like a wave of a wolf hair, the picture suddenly cuts to the direction where the center of the brush is swung--
"You will become excellent. Pig food!"
A ball of black and white with red and blue colors came to the front from a distance, seemingly slowly but actually swiftly.
"Puchi——"
"Hahahaha, I laughed my ass off!"
"Haha. Cough cough ha."
In the small room, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out, and everyone except the factory manager laughed so hard that they fell backwards.
"Steel Bristle (Sejuani's pig) is actually a panda color!"
"It's obviously a good idea, why do you have to use this line?"
"Factory manager, the pig is cute, Sejuani's modeling is also very delicate, it's this voiceover, puhahaha——"
Panda elements don't appear often in League of Legends. So far, only Teemo's panda skin and Riot's daughter Annie's limited summon of the giant bear Tibers in the Year of the Snake are pandas.
With EDG's black and white elements as the main tone, combined with the ink painting style, Riot changed Sejuani's pig to a panda shape, which really surprised everyone in the office.
No one would refuse to have national treasure elements in their champion skin!
And Sejuani, wearing a bright red Peking Opera costume with blue and white, looks heroic and dazzling, and is also a delicate modeling with oriental elements.
The two main subjects of Factory Manager's champion skin can be said to be impeccable!
But the words "You will all become excellent pig food!" said when Pig Girl appeared on stage were really funny.
"Official memes are the most deadly!" Jiang Zhun couldn't help laughing and said, "Director, Pig Girl's skin can be said to have pulled all your elements to the limit."
Just as the audience was exchanging jokes, the music suddenly stopped.
The next second, the sound of gongs rang out.
"Ding (tap)! Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding..."
The familiar Peking Opera opening big gong guide board, big gong small guide board, and small gong guide board played together and filled the whole room.
Sejuani held a bright red strip "pig whip" in her hand, jumped up from Steel Mane, and began to perform various movements of "Wu Dan".
Flowing like clouds and water, being true and contented, hearty and unrestrained.
In the end, Sejuani used the "whip" as a pen to draw a "7" in the air and landed on the black and white piglet again.
The "7" absorbed the ice element in the air, gradually turning from black to pale, and finally condensed into a snowball and blasted forward.
"Is it the ultimate skill [Ice Prison] or the passive stun of the E skill?"
"It should be E. I remember the ultimate skill seems to be a pig lasso."
"That's so cool, the special effects of the small skills are so cool!"
"I think the special effects of Jun's enhanced cannon are still cooler."
"But we have already won with 7!"
"666!"
Listening to his teammates, the factory manager still crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking calm, but an imperceptible smile flashed across his mouth.
7, it is Clearlove7's 7, and it is also the 7 of the S7 season.
He is very satisfied!
"Lucian's appearance is very cool!"
Next came Scout's skin.
"I'm a perfectionist."
"Some people call it magic, but I call it a good target."
"A thief's pocket can't fit it."
Lucian wore a high-brimmed hat like a medieval gentleman, a white suit and a long white cloak. His face was hidden in the darkness, revealing only a foxy eye with a monocle. He said in a magnetic and deep voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen!! The magic show begins!"
Watching the video of Lucian's double guns producing various special effects, the sister control was the first to react:
"Kaito Kidd!"
Scout nodded with satisfaction and gave Lucian in front of him an approving look, but the sister control's next sentence made him shudder.
"Isn't Riot afraid of being sued for copyright infringement in court?"
Seeing his junior brother's face suddenly change, Jiang Jun said:
"Copyright law stipulates that personal works do not constitute copyright infringement if the author has died for more than 50 years as quoted materials."
"The actual prototype of the phantom thief Kit in "Magic Kaito" and "Detective Conan" is Arsene Lupin, a phantom thief gentleman created by a Gallic author."
"The author seems to have died for 70 or 80 years."
I see
Scout took a deep breath.
The sister control looked like he had learned something. He asked curiously: "Brother Jun, how do you know this?"
"I recently read online novels on Qidian. I found that there are many fan works, and even e-sports novels where the protagonist of LOL is the boss, so I went to learn about it."
"Suoga!" The sister control nodded and thought for a while before looking at the factory manager next to him, "Factory manager, you are not as busy as before as a coach, you can definitely go online and write a novel about your career! Definitely"
"Autobiography is good."
"No! No! No! Stop!"
The factory manager shook his head frantically at the sister control's suggestion, and then said: "I am good at playing games, but writing a book is fine. With my junior high school level, I guess I can't even write a few pages of an autobiography, and I have to rely on how to play pig girl water words."
"Hahaha."
"A Guang's big tree is here."
...
[——This film pays tribute to the EDG team that won the championship in the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals! 】
As a line of silver fonts like a swimming dragon appeared, the EDG champion skin promotional video also ended.
Everyone stood up and stretched their muscles with reluctance.
The trailer is 7 minutes and 36 seconds long. The first five minutes show the modeling and some special effects of the six champion skins, and the last two and a half minutes show the group portrait of the heroes fighting against the void creatures drawn by black ink.
"The meaning is good and it's very thoughtful."
Abu gave his evaluation: "Although the promotional video is based on the black and white of our EDG, each hero actually has color elements. Mingkai's Sejuani is the most direct, wearing a colorful costume directly on his body."
"When the twin black and white female guns of sister control and Zet release their ultimates or E skills, the black and white rain of bullets is mixed with colorful streamers. Although it is not obvious, it is very eye-catching!"
"When Xiaojiang's Jayce skin switches forms, the current surrounding the hero is a silver-based colorful. And the hammer form W, I remember that the last part of the promotional video that touched the monster also turned into a silver-based colorful color?"
"..."
"Loving color tenderly in black and white, the female gun's lines are very meaningful!"
"No wonder she is the first hero to appear in the promotional video."
As he jumped from WE to EDG and was promoted all the way, Abu's eloquence became better and better after continuous precipitation.
He no longer likes to give his players chicken soup. Instead, he likes to talk about in-depth topics when the players are relatively complete, such as the e-sports spirit of breaking through and building up, the values of integrity and dedication, and the club must also be humane.
"If you want to watch the promotional video, you can watch it in my office, but you can't copy or forward it yourself."
After drinking half a bottle of Baishuishan, he emphasized: "The champion skin is still in the confidentiality stage. If the promotional video is leaked, Riot will punish it. Maybe it's the profit ratio."
He said a lot, but only the last sentence was heard by the EDG players.
The sister control who was originally going to log in to the computer and forward it to the group on QQ sighed and ×ed the login interface.
"Don't sigh, many skill effects and character details in the promotional video have not been released."
"It's better to wait until the skin is online to study it carefully!"
"The day after tomorrow we will play RNG, and we have to go out for dinner tonight. Time is very tight."
Under the urging of the factory manager, everyone reluctantly walked out of the office and went to the training room.
Of course, it is not to play Rank and training games, but to summarize and discuss EDG's first week of competition against the East and West.
…
"From the data summary of the past week, except for a few teams with relatively unique tactical systems, other teams have begun to use the rune combination of our secondary system, Enlightenment Point Shoes and Stopwatch."
Mediterranean Lao Fan took an A4 paper and began to summarize the changes that have taken place in various teams after the spring season entered version 8.2.
"In my opinion, they chose shoes and stopwatches not mainly because of their super high cost performance, but because of the weakening of precision runes."
Since the launch of the new version of the rune system in 7.22, Riot has spent a lot of space to balance it in each update.
Cut left, make up another, and then call back.
After repeated operations, Riot has achieved a relatively good balance of the gains provided by each cornerstone rune, and the non-keystone precision rune with a super high secondary system carrying rate has finally attracted the attention of the designer.
In version 8.2, ‘Critical Strike’, ‘Unbreakable’ and ‘Triumphant’ were all greatly weakened.
EDG has always been the subject of research by the coaching staff of other LPL teams. They quickly turned to the match between EDG and WE.
Stopwatch, good stuff!
Magic boots, this is great!
Cosmic Insight, reduce the cooldown of summoner skills!
For a time, choosing the Inspiration system as the secondary system became the mainstream in the East-West confrontation.
“Hey, I said that we shouldn’t use the stopwatch system so early.” Spicy Xiangguo stroked his afro, “It’s hard to set the rhythm!”
If a team is compared to a trident weapon, then the top, middle and bottom lanes are naturally the spikes of the trident, and the jungler is the driving force that pushes the three spikes to pierce the enemy.
For a rhythm-type jungler like Xiangguo, if the enemy’s three lanes all click on the stopwatch, boots or the stopwatch and cosmic insight in the early stage, then his gank will be easily cracked.
This directly leads to a smaller possibility for the jungler to activate the overall situation and drive the rhythm in the early stage.
"Even if we bring it out later, other team coaches will definitely look for alternative runes to replace the precision secondary system after the 8.2 version update."
"And this set of runes has also become popular in the LCK region."
"The arena is full of statuettes, and it will definitely become the norm in the arena these days."
Jiang Zhun comforted Mala Xiangguo and said: "There are few online opportunities, so go to the opposite jungle area to find opportunities!"
"It's a blessing in disguise, but your Banpick priority has skyrocketed!"
That's right too.
Mala Xiangguo rolled his eyes under his thick round glass lenses and nodded quickly.
"That seems to be what happened!"
"Then can I take heroes like Kindred, Leopard Girl, and Blind Man?"
The discussion was in full swing, and Zet sat aside and listened very hard.
I understand that the regular season version of LCK is different from that of LPL. Even if there is a high probability that you will not be able to play until the beginning of the summer split, now that you are back in LPL, you must quickly adapt to LPL.
However, EDG already has two bottom lane lineups. Will he really have a chance to play?
Worry appeared on Zet's brow.
People are like this, "when they are well fed and fed, they think about lust, and when they are hungry and cold, they want to steal."
Being bullied by his seniors at BBQ, all Zet could think about was returning to EDG and his teammates who treated him like his own brothers. If he could go back, he would be fine even if he had to pay BBQ liquidated damages.
But when he did come back, he began to look forward to playing games again.
