Chapter 1916 I'm 50-50 with God
May 1st, the day after the entire KT team arrived in Busan.
The base equipment was flown to the hotel last night. Lin Cheng came to the training room at 9:30 and found that he was the last one to arrive.
Mr. Dai and Rascal have already started playing ranked games, while the others are eating breakfast brought by Sister Sheng Xi.
"What's going on? Do you want it so early? Today is International Labor Day."
Lin Cheng picked up the sandwich casually, "Why are you so diligent, Lao Dai? You have been working hard so early in the morning."
Mr. Dai just started the game and replied casually: "I haven't played LOL for a few days. I feel a bit unfamiliar. I want to get used to it as soon as possible."
Rascal: “After a month off, it’s time to relax at work.”
"Look at everyone's awareness!"
Seeing Lin Cheng shrugging disapprovingly, Chi Shengxi took a sip of coffee with a smile, "Even Qianxi got up early today, but you are the only one who doesn't take work seriously."
"The purpose of my work is very simple."
Lin Cheng winked at Kang Dongxun, "I learned from the coach, arrive late and leave early, and take a break in between. This is life! Otherwise, how tiring would it be to live?"
"Ahem!"
Mr. Kang, who was chewing bread, almost choked.
"Don't frame me. When these words came to Representative An's ears, he thought I was fishing for money at work. The work content of coaches is different from that of players. You call it arriving late and leaving early, but I call it flexible adjustment."
Brother A echoed from the side: "After setting up the training tasks, you don't have to rank them in the morning and evening without the coach watching. We usually discuss tactics and analyze data and it's very tiring."
"So! Lin Cheng is the only one who is truly lazy."
Chi Shengxi complained: "And this guy always makes his laziness look fresh and refined."
Lin Cheng gnawed on the sandwich and his eyes widened.
Call him lazy, and he admits it.
But why do you think he is the only one who is lazy?
Isn't that guy Zhao Qianxi much lazier than him?
After a month off, he still played LOL.
Zhao Qianxi didn't have any ranking records for a whole month. Is this called diligence?
But obviously, no one thought there was anything wrong with Chi Shengxi's words.
Mr. Kang patted Lin Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Forget it about normal times. Please be more diligent these days at MSI."
“What’s the use of being diligent?”
Lin Cheng struggled to swallow his sandwich, "If you are diligent and useful, all the cows in the countryside will be prosperous... No! Now the cows don't live in the countryside, they live in staff dormitories."
Beryl hid and snickered.
Apparently, the heroes see the same thing.
Mr. Dai: "Tch! Do you think anyone has a talent like yours? We train hard to increase our self-esteem. When we get older, we have to work harder to maintain our condition."
Lin Cheng was very happy: "Are you complimenting me? Thank you."
Mr. Dai: "·····"
This guy always misses the point when he listens to others.
Chi Shengxi didn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Then everyone else started to laugh too.
Lin Cheng's character is really fun, he can always find good points in others' comments, and he never seems to be depressed in life.
After breakfast, Lin Cheng first studied the changes in the new version.
The Korean server has just been updated to version 8, and this is also the version used in the MSI competition.
Riot Games continued its usual style. Before the competition, it first cut down the most popular heroes some time ago, and forcibly changed the game ecology to allow each team to adapt to the version.
The previously fiery Jinx has been weakened again.
In this version, Jinx's initial health has been cut by 50 points again.
As a core AD that is on par with Aphelios in the Spring Split, Jinx’s natural base HP is 100 points higher than that of Aphelios. It is indeed a bit excessive. In addition, the designer of the previous version increased the mana consumption of fish bones in the early stage. X's early abilities were further weakened.
This is also Riot's idea for the big-core AD: Since the big-core AD is strong in the later stage, then focus on laning ability in the early stage and cut it hard. Anyway, it can't make you too comfortable in the early stage.
In addition, the CD of Xayah's Q skill at full level has been increased by two seconds.
The increase of these two seconds has a huge impact, and Fist is clearly targeting Armor-Piercing Xayah's late-stage Poke ability.
Looking at other competitions after the LCK finals, Jia-Puan Xia's priority is even higher than the two core ADs.
Armor-Piercing Xayah is very capable of laning in the early stage. Not only does her equipment have abnormal Poke damage, but the existence of her W skill also makes Armor-Piercing Xayah teamfights break out equally well.
Coupled with the self-protection and barb control of the ultimate move, the only problem with this hero is that he is too slow to tank.
However, Critical Strike Xayah is also not very fast in tanking, and her armor-piercing leakage equipment has completely occupied Critical Strike Xayah's living space. At that time, Lin Cheng even made a special post to complain about this matter.
There is no such thing as AD Soul!
Since the rise of armor-piercing Xayah, all the Xayahs encountered in the rankings started with QE combos. A good crit AD turned into a Diudiu monster.
The designer obviously had the same idea as Lin Cheng. He believed that Xia, a hero who took the armor-piercing route, was too brainless and had super strength. He decisively took action to target her before MSI started.
These two adjustments to the bottom lane will obviously have a huge impact on MSI.
Because in each division of the playoffs, Zeli is basically in the BAN position, and Lu Xia, Jinx, and Aphelios are at the bottom.
Zeli has been cut in several versions before, and the serious consequences for each of the brothers will inevitably lead to a major change in the bottom lane ecology.
In addition, Poppy received an epic level of enhancement.
The knock-up time of the ultimate skill is increased, the charging speed is faster and the hammer-up distance is longer, and the CD of the W skill Steadfast Style is reduced at all levels.
Mr. Kang was ecstatic.
Poppy is a rare functional hero in Lin Cheng's hero pool. Poppy is really too strong against the entry character. This enhancement is actually a reinforcement of KT's counterattack formation system.
In addition, there are many adjustments, and KT needs to verify the version understanding step by step in the subsequent training matches with other teams.
After practicing free RANK for a long time, KT made training matches with G2 and EG in succession.
The result of the training match was okay, but probably because of the unfamiliarity, the players made a lot of mistakes. Facing the European and American losers, KT did not show a crushing attitude.
After all, LCK was the first region to end the spring season. Lin Cheng and his teammates really took a vacation for nearly a month, and there were many commercial activities in the middle, and there was no high-intensity training to maintain their condition.
Then, these European and American brothers began to be optimistic.
On the day of the training match with KT, G2's mid laner tweeted: Brothers, we just finished a training match with KT today and lost! (Rose in mouth)
BB kid replied: We lost! But I feel KT is not invincible (rose in mouth)
A fan asked: Is there hope for EU this year?
Xiaoyang: We will know after playing against RNG, but there is still hope.
Although the training match was lost, Xiaoyang revealed a hint of excitement between the lines, and the audience understood that G2's training match against KT was obviously not that bad.
On May 2, after EG and KT finished the training match.
EG's top laner living fossil player Da Mu excitedly posted:
I am 50-50 with God!
This is a joke for the audience.
How bad was KT's training match?
They actually gave the European and American players confidence!
Damn dared to clamor for a 50-50 match with Brother Orange?
