Chapter 354 Why Did Zhou Shen Suddenly Change His Style? RNM, Return the Money!

"Okay, congratulations to LGD for refusing WE's comeback and winning the regular season championship battle between the two groups AB with a score of 2 to 1!"

"After defeating WE, LGD's winning streak since the start of the summer season continues!"

"Now their winning streak has reached eight consecutive victories!" Ji De said.

At this time, the big screen at the scene replayed the highlights of the third game.

Then the MVP of the third game was given.

"Okay, let's take a look at the MVP of the third game. It was given to imp's policewoman, with a record of 7-1-5 and the highest damage in the game."

"In fact, it was given to Zhou Shen's troll. I think there is no problem."

Ji De pushed his glasses and said, "Then, the interview seat is ready. Now give the camera to our host."

The post-match interview of this game was invited to LGD mid laner GodV.

The other four LGD players went back to the lounge first.

When Wei Shen finished the post-match interview, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening again.

LGD hurried back to the team base.

As soon as they returned to the base, all the players immediately started training.

It is about to enter the seventh week of the regular season, and LGD still has eight regular season games to play.

The regular season has a total of ten weeks, so in the next four weeks, LGD will have two BO3 games to play every week, and the schedule is still very tight.

DGC dare not give the players a holiday to rest casually. LGD wants to win all the regular season games, and now it is almost time to sprint.

This breath cannot be easily let down.

And LGD will have a game on the first game day of the next week, which is Thursday, and the opponent is IM team.

Of course, IM's performance has been quite poor since the start of the summer season.

So LGD doesn't need to pay extra attention to this opponent, just prepare for the game normally.

As for the "optimistic" LGD fans, they don't take IM seriously now.

The next day, Sunday, was the last game day of the sixth week of the LPL summer regular season.

There were only two games this Sunday, but two upsets in a row.

First, EDG lost to Suning SNG 0-2.

Then, RNG, which had been crushing and winning games since Uzi's comeback, lost to IM 1-2.

The result of IM's comeback from 1-2 to RNG also made many LGD fans who originally thought that they had a good chance of beating IM become less optimistic.

In the few days before the match with IM, LGD played a lot of training games.

The frequency of these training games is much higher than usual.

The main reason is that this week, which is the seventh week of the LPL regular season, the LPL game will usher in a version change.

The game server changed from version 7.13 to version 7.14.

Version 7.13 was not played for many games, and it was directly gone. It really tested the LPL players' ability to adapt to the version.

This is also a point of complaint for LPL.

Like the national server, the LPL game version is often not updated in time due to various reasons.

Therefore, it often happens that a version is updated after a long time of playing, and then because of the need to keep up with the overall progress, the newly updated version is hastily updated after just a few days of playing.

What's even more outrageous is that there have been cases of skipping versions in LPL games.

That is, the version progress is too far behind, and the game server directly skips a certain version.

In short, facing all kinds of weird things, players are powerless to resist.

Then you can only try to adapt!

In the 7.14 version of League of Legends, the new hero Kayn was launched.

In addition, in this version, tank equipment has been strengthened.

Randuin's synthesis is smoother and provides more health.

The Great Thornmail now provides additional health, and at the same time, it has added the effect of reducing the attacker's attack speed. It is simply a combination of Thornmail and Ice Heart, which can be said to be a big improvement.

In addition, there is another hero with a big change, that is, the Void Terror-Kog'Math.

The mana consumption of the big worm's Q skill is reduced, and the silence time of the W skill is increased.

The most important thing is that the E skill of the big worm has been reworked. The next three basic attacks of the big worm will fire spikes, which will damage and slow down all the targets hit.

Now the E skill of the big worm can reset the basic attack, increase the attack distance, and add percentage damage.

This greatly improves the ability of the big worm in the top lane.

Coupled with the newly strengthened tank equipment, this makes the appearance rate and win rate of the big worm after the change all the way up, whether in the Korean server or the Chinese server.

Zhou Dian has also practiced a lot of big worms in the past few days.

With high-frequency practice, Zhou Dian feels that he is quite handy with the new version of the big worm.

He thinks he has a good grasp of this hero.

A clear proof is that in the first few days of practicing big worms in the ranking, Zhou Dian’s Korean server ranking score has increased a lot, and he has been winning all the way.

Compared with the terrible ranking record when he first started practicing some fragile heroes.

Zhou Dian had to come to a conclusion.

Could it be that the "novel" beastly heroes like Troll and Big Worm are more suitable for me than those elegant human heroes?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

July 27, Thursday.

The seventh week of the LPL regular season continues.

Although LGD's game time is at 7 pm.

But the LGD team still set off for the competition venue in the afternoon.

The main reason is that the official discipline requirements of the LPL event are becoming more and more stringent.

It is really not worth it to be fined for being late.

However, the complex competition requirements also show that the LPL is becoming more and more standardized.

As for LGD's opponent today, IM was formerly the second team of EDG.

In the summer of 2016, due to the official policy of Riot, it became independent from EDG.

It was also in 2016 that IM achieved a triple jump from the secondary league to the top league, and then to the S game.

In the final round of the bubble game with WE, IM's top laner AmazingJ's Titan TP around the back has also become a permanent pain point in the hearts of many WE fans.

After the QG team in 2015 fell in the bubble game of S5, IM also became the first team in the history of the LPL division to make a triple jump.

Following LMQ in the North American division in S4 and OG in the European division in S5, IM successfully advanced to S6, which also made the S game have a triple jump for three consecutive years.

Like the Snake team, S was completely sluggish.

Now IM and Snake are completely in the same boat, one is the second to last in the LPL, and the other is the last.

When the LGD players arrived at the game site, IG had just defeated NB 2-0 in the first game of the day.

The two games took less than an hour in total.

It was really a bit fast.

Ning, the new jungler of IG this summer, took out the new hero Kayn as soon as he came on the court today.

The effect was also quite good, and NB's jungler was directly beaten 0-6.

Afterwards, after the equipment was debugged, it was LGD and IM's turn to play.

Some of the audience at the scene were LGD fans, and some came to watch the fun. It was rare to see IM fans.

Basically, the first game day of each week, which is Thursday, the commentators are the old duo of Wawa Miller.

In the discussion before the game, both agreed that with the current state of the two teams, LGD should be able to easily beat IM 2-0.

In the first game of BO3, LGD directly selected the big worm on the first floor.

"Hey! What's going on? LGD actually picked the top laner on the first floor? What a sudden change!" Miller said with a smile.

"But the big worm hero has just been strengthened, and the appearance rate in the public game has also soared recently. There is no problem in choosing this."

When the head coach of IM saw that LGD picked the top laner on the first floor, he was relieved.

"It can save two ban positions!"

Then, IM chose the big tree top laner for AJ.

Just mess around!

The camera was given to IM top laner AJ, with a very relaxed expression, talking and laughing with his teammates.

As a man who played the top laner in EDG, playing a big tree and a big worm against each other is easy.

But soon, AJ couldn't laugh anymore.

Because LGD picked the troll in the last pick.

This also shows that LGD's game is the big worm mid laner.

The live director is also sensible. After LGD locked the troll, the camera swept AJ again.

AJ, who was laughing and joking, now had a sullen face, as if the troll's stick had been poked in.

In IM's team voice, AJ muttered in his Hong Kong-flavored Mandarin: "I've been fooled. I said LGD was on the red side, so how could the counter position not be given to Zhou Shen!"

At the same time, on the commentary stand.

"Troll on the top lane? Then AJ, the big tree, is in trouble this game. Troll is the father of the three mythical gods on the top lane. Last week, Zhou Shen's troll just beat 957's Poppy, and this week he's here to chop trees again!"

After a pause, Miller continued: "Look at LGD's side, the big worm, the pig girl, the troll, and Tam, this is too tanky! But this is also a common BP in the current version."

"With the strengthening of tank equipment in version 7.14, the game seems to have returned to the meaning of the previous tank league!"

Entering the game, IM's jungler has been trying to target Zhou Dian in the early stage.

Even though Zhou Dian played a troll in this game.

As the saying goes, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree.

After all, Zhou Dian is now well-known and has a bad reputation.

Unfortunately, Zhou Dian is really slippery.

In the laning phase, his troll had no killing intent and just couldn't be caught.

On the other hand, IM's bottom lane was already confused by Eimy's Sejuani.

Just over ten minutes into the game, IM's bottom lane tower was pushed down by LGD.

Then LGD switched the bottom lane duo to the top lane, and the troll to the bottom lane, and IM had to follow the top and bottom lanes.

Then, AJ's tree accidentally led the line across the river.

Because IM lost the bottom lane tower, the tree was chased by the troll with a big stick, and was finally beaten to death in front of his own bottom two towers.

Another wave of single kills.

Although this single kill didn't have much operation, it was just a hard knock.

Afterwards, LGD's double-threaded gameplay of the top and bottom lanes was impenetrable, and IM couldn't resist it at all.

The so-called tank lineup has no damage, that is only in the late game.

If there is a level advantage in the mid-game, the basic damage of the skills alone is enough to kill people.

In less than 30 minutes, LGD came roaring with the Baron buff, four muscular men in the top, mid, jungle and support, surrounding the smallest and best developed ADC.

The troll waved a big stick and led the way in front. LGD pushed down IM's base crystal in one wave.

In the second game of BO3, IM directly chose the version of the top single giant worm on the first floor, ready to adapt to all changes.

Seeing the giant worm, Dgc thought: Want to mess around? Then I'll help you.

He chose the top single troll for Zhou Dian again.

Seeing Zhou Dian choose the troll again, the audience was unhappy.

On the barrage of the official event live broadcast room:

[Zhou Shen, my Zhou Shen, why did you suddenly change your style? This is the third consecutive game of troll! ]

[I don't want to watch the troll! I want to watch the Qinggangying Sword Princess, the troll is too ugly! ]

[It's hard to watch an LGD game, what's the point of always playing the troll? Is it worthy of us? ]

[RNM, refund the money! ]

[Ahem, I think you are also going to watch the game in person, what money should I refund? ]

[.]

Back to the game.

In this game, LGD had three big tanks, Troll, Sejuani, and Galio, and the support was Janna. Imp's Caitlyn felt so safe.

Eimy attacked IM's bottom lane in the previous game, and in this game, he attacked the middle lane.

At the 4th minute of the game, Sejuani successfully counter-camped IM's jungler Mantis, and IM's mid and jungle exploded.

Then Wei's Galio became the starting point of the rhythm and attacked from all sides.

There is indeed a big gap in strength between the two teams at present. With the rhythm of Caitlyn and Galio, the game was completely crushing.

Zhou Dian didn't even need to exert his strength alone, and IM was already lying down.

AJ's big worm was still playing happily with Troll in the top lane, and found that the second towers in the middle and bottom lanes were about to be lost.

In the end, LGD ended the game in less than 30 minutes.

Including the rest time, the whole BO3 took less than an hour and a half.

2-0, LGD easily defeated IM.

Miller concluded after the game: "In today's game, LGD showed the qualities they should have as a strong team."

"No longer rely too much on Zhou Shen's single-point burst in the top lane to drive the whole team like before."

"So, although Zhou Shen played tanks for several games in a row, I am more optimistic about the prospects of this LGD!"

The coaches of other teams who followed the game also had the same idea as Miller.

If a team can only play in one lane, no matter how good it is, it is easier to target.

But if it blooms in multiple places, it will be difficult to deal with.

The MVPs of the two games were given to imp and Wei Shen respectively.

This is the first time since the summer season that Zhou Dian did not have an MVP in the BO3 that LGD won.

But everyone who watched the game understands that Zhou Dian, who plays tanks, is undoubtedly more terrifying.
