Chapter 180: An RPG where I had a good time...?
Points +4000.
Seeing the system prompt pop up, Xing Dao drank a sip of purified water with satisfaction.
I couldn't score many points in the regular season.
Although the playoffs are better, they are still far behind the World Finals.
I can only find a way to get some benefits from my unscrupulous teammates.
During the laning phase, Xing Dao deliberately controlled the intensity of his attack and maintained a 50-50 tie with Huni, letting the win or loss take its course.
Unexpectedly, the mid and jungle rhythm picked up the tempo.
And he came to catch the top lane madly.
In ten minutes, they did two waves of three-man tower dives, and Huni was beaten so badly that he couldn't take care of himself, his eyes were crooked, and he was incontinent...
Won the Rank match without any suspense.
Next.
It happened twice again.
Huni was obviously unwilling to accept the defeat and insisted on taking the Shen.
Xing Dao used Fiora as usual and had a record of one win and one loss.
Next, we played five more games without Huni.
The proficiency level has been raised to Grandmaster 49.77%.
In terms of role cards.
I have Xiaohu's Gragas, UZI's Vayne, Saint Gun's Graves, Koro1's Gnar, GimGoon's Gangplank, and Faker's Ryze, a total of six legendary/epic cards with no counts.
Baolan's Luo, Rookie's Yida, Theshy's Aatrox, Doinb's Kled, Bin 's Fiora, and Insec's Lee Sin each have one use time.
There are three energy crystals, each of which can be charged with any card.
Most mainstream heroes from elite to grandmaster level have one or two of these.
There are also things like Zero Wind Girl and Lucky Spider which are of high quality but are not used in competitions.
If you accumulate 7 million points, you can draw 70 times.
Since nothing good has come out of this period of time, Xing Dao plans to change the feng shui and try again in Brazil.
Two days passed.
Visa application successful.
The EDG team went to Pudong International Airport, transferred through Doha Airport, and landed in Sao Paulo, Brazil thirty hours later.
That is the city where the MSI group stage is held.
After arriving at the hotel and washing up briefly, we had a special barbecue meal.
After a short nap, I got up to debug the equipment.
The keyboards, mice, headphones, mouse pads and other items provided by the MSI Mid-Season Championship are all selected by the official, and no specified brands or models are accepted.
Personal peripherals must be submitted for official inspection and can only be released for use before the competition.
In order to ensure the feel, EDG players handed in the peripherals they usually used, and brought new or spare keyboards and mice to re-run them to avoid unfamiliar problems during the game.
The maximum human reaction speed is 0.1 seconds, and first-tier professional players are generally around 0.15 seconds.
From this perspective.
A difference of a few 0.00 seconds, or a few MS, is insignificant.
Actually, it’s not.
In the confrontation, there are not only extreme reactions and operations.
It also involves the issue of 'grab judgment'.
For example, a series of skills such as Fiora's block, Vampire's blood pool, and Fizz's pole vault may not take effect due to just a tiny bit of time, resulting in damage or control.
certainly.
The probability of this happening is very, very, very low.
Maybe not even once or twice in a whole year.
But if it appears at a critical moment, it will be a matter of eternal regret.
Therefore, whenever circumstances permit, the most familiar equipment must be used to avoid any accidents.
"Hey, what kind of team is RPG?"
Xing Dao looked at the match schedule, feeling a little curious.
The qualifying stage of this year's MSI has ended. After a fierce battle among teams from North America LCS.NA, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan LMS and wildcard regions, three teams have qualified for the group stage.
Among them, the North American cult TSM and the Taipei overlord Flash Wolves FW are very familiar.
I've never heard of RPG.
"This is the Japanese team that is having a good time."
Abu opened the folder and took a look: "They have good top laners, with a score of over 800 in the Korean server. Their ID is Evi. You should have queued for them quite a few times."
"Oh——" Xing Dao suddenly realized: "Him!"
"Why, you look down on him?" Abu teased.
"No, no, more than 800 points is very strong. I just feel that he may really be trying hard to gain points." Xing Dao expressed his impression.
Compared to other professional players.
Evi feels a bit like a 'share slave'.
It seems that he didn't practice anything or hide anything, he just played with the strong heroes of this version.
Before knowing his identity, Xing Dao thought Evi was just an ordinary street king.
"That's about right."
Abu knew what he meant and continued, "Evi played Shen, Poppy, Gragas, Galio, and one game of Tam in the play-in rounds. His performance was OK. He just needed to be a little careful. The highest score among the others was Master 200, and there were two Diamond 1s."
"Understood." Xing Dao felt no pressure.
The so-called group stage of MSI actually does not involve any grouping.
Instead, it directly engages in a dual-circulation confrontation.
After ten BO1 games, the first in total points will play against the fourth, and the second will play against the third.
The competition system is relatively lengthy and allows the lower-ranked teams to "scratch points", so it is difficult for upsets to occur. The probability of LPL and LCK crashing out is basically negligible.
The three teams, G2, TSM, and FW, will most likely compete for the remaining two spots.
As for RPGs...
It's not carelessness, or arrogance.
With the highest score of 800 in the Korean server, plus a combination of two masters and two diamond 1s, if the teams in the mainstream divisions can't crush them, they might as well find a big-wave girl to suffocate them.
"Master 200, Diamond 1? You can't even get into the youth training in the national server?" A Shui found it very interesting.
"You can still get in, just be a sparring partner." The factory manager smiled.
In the past two years, the minimum threshold for the "Club Trainee Draft Program" is Brilliant Diamond I.
It really attracted quite a few Diamond Level 1 masters to sign up.
Actually.
Master Diamond 1 can't produce anything at all.
The major clubs recruit people only to show their support because of the official support.
The reason is simple.
To reach the King level, you only need to do one of the two: operation and thinking.
It doesn't need to be both.
Old people who don’t have any brains and just keep killing all the way without any operation skills and can only rely on awareness and understanding to fight in groups can all be ranked in the King rank, or even the thousand-point King rank.
At such a young age, he is still at the Diamond 1 Master level. To put it bluntly, his hands and brain are both disabled...especially in e-sports.
As long as there is one aspect that is normal, you will not lose points.
As for being able to reach a certain level or two through systematic training...
Don't be silly!
No matter how an ordinary master of mixing things is trained, the best he can do is just pass the King level. He can't even reach the shadow of the top King of the Road, let alone higher levels.
"On the first day, we will play against FW and TSM."
"The next day, it's G2 and SKT."
Abu revealed the matchup list: "Both FW and TSM made it through the play-in stage, but neither of them revealed anything new. Only Galio as a support is a bit troublesome, and the support can build a Crucible depending on the situation."
" I understand." Meiko nodded.
With EDG's lineup, if they encounter Galio.
Top lane, mid lane, and AD all need to buy Mercury's Treads.
The total economic loss will be 3900.
In this comparison, the auxiliary crucible is more cost-effective.
As for where the money comes from...
Just follow the top laner and get more assists.
"These don't really matter. When are we going to play the RPG?" A Shui was looking forward to it.
"Hmm..." Abu looked at the folder again: "Day 3."
