Chapter 24: X Factor of the Upper Unit
Item: Energy Crystal
Rarity: Epic.
Function: Increase the number of uses for a character card by 1, regardless of grade.
“What a good thing!”
When Xing Dao drew this item, he immediately understood its value.
The character card is just a fixed hero and is not suitable for use at all times.
For example, UZI's Vayne.
If you encounter something like a tree digger, with its combination of targeted control and extremely high burst, you will be caught and die in vain.
Saint Spear's male gun looks very strong.
But when fighting against a tank hero who is oblivious to the outside world and only focuses on retreating to the tower to farm minions, there is no way to do anything to the opponent.
Maybe he is not as good as the Grand Master Sword Immortal who is two levels lower.
Relatively speaking.
Energy crystals are much more flexible.
Charge whatever you need.
There is no need to worry about not being suitable to play or not fitting into the lineup.
A total of 55 free attribute points are given.
In terms of distribution, Xing Dao had made plans early on.
First take out 27 points and add them to the operation, bringing the operation value to 80.
The remaining 28 are all spent on reaction speed.
In this way, the reaction speed reaches the passing line of professional players.
As for finishing off the enemy...
According to Xing Dao's understanding, only those who are alive are qualified to make the final move.
Except for the "God's help" in the novice stage, if you are a veteran player and are not disturbed, the performance will not be too bad.
There was another unexpected surprise.
That is, after high-score rankings, daily duels and two official matches, Xing Dao's consciousness is no longer an outrageous -100.
It became -90.
Can't feel the difference though.
But at least it can be improved naturally without wasting attribute points.
Back to the hotel, after having supper.
Xing Dao logged into his US server account again and started ranking.
this time.
Basically, I just beat the opponent in the lane.
On the one hand, the operation has been improved.
Another aspect is that the pace of the US server is relatively slow. Most players are used to getting three sets of equipment before going out. They are quite uncomfortable with Xing Dao's wind hammer method that is in the gold and silver segments.
If you are not careful, the lane will be blown up and even the wild daddy can't help you.
Although the support is confusing, the team battle is sleepwalking.
Relying on the huge single-line advantage and advanced understanding, Xing Dao was able to kill people in the Master Division of the US server.
"What do you think of this General?"
Same hotel, different room.
SKT club's head coach KkOma turned a small card in his hand and asked questions to the logistics team.
"General's style is weird."
A skinny analyst spoke first: "Before playing against H2K, I thought he was a real noob, but now... I can only say he is unpredictable."
"That's right."
“I really can’t figure him out.”
"It's amazing... Look at this scene, he's completely sleepwalking, how can he pretend to be stupid so well?"
The others were talking at the same time.
Everyone agreed with Huangmao's statement.
"Don't worry about that for now. Have you done the normal data analysis?" KkOma knocked on the table.
"No……"
"without."
“I can’t do it.”
"too difficult."
Hearing this, KkOma couldn't help but get angry: "What do you mean by no? What do you mean by can't come out? You are the world's top analysis team, with a minimum monthly salary of more than 3 million. Now tell me that you can't even complete the most basic work?"
"Senior, please listen to my explanation." The yellow-haired man scratched his head and stood up: "We have recorded the information of every game, but we can't find a fixed pattern. In terms of habitual ward placement, it seems that General doesn't know how to place wards at all."
"yes."
"If I hadn't watched the games and only counted the Ranks, I would have thought that General was a Diamond Goalkeeper."
"There's no point in using commonly used heroes. Fiora, Riven, and Jayce are not suitable for the field. Oh, and there are also Olaf and Kayle. Aren't they meant to be funny... Hey, here comes another top lane excavator!"
“…”
Talking and talking.
The originally serious discussion somehow turned into a complaining session.
KkOma rubbed his temple.
It's a bit troublesome.
Before the group stage started, KkOma focused his main attention on ROX and SSG in the same region.
As for the LPL teams.
to be honest.
KkOma didn't take it too seriously at first.
After all, it is generally believed that this year is the weakest year for LPL.
It’s just ridiculous that we don’t even know if IM, the third seed, can beat the wild card.
The second seed RNG looks pretty good, but KkOma is absolutely sure of his victory against this team.
The No. 1 seed EDG...
To put it nicely, it's called personnel changes.
To put it bluntly, it's just a patchwork.
What strength can a second team, a top laner who transformed from a support, and a trainee mid laner who can't play have?
Total victory?
Think it's a good thing?
All victory means that you have not experienced enough pressure , have not identified the existing problems, and have not reflected on your own shortcomings.
All undercurrents are hidden beneath the halo.
When the halo is broken.
The undercurrent will shatter this team.
What KkOma never expected was that after EDG lost the first game to INTZ from Brazil and became almost a joke, a substitute top laner who was definitely the 'X factor' emerged in the team.
Kill AHQ indiscriminately.
Sweep H2K.
The competition was extremely strong.
Rank is crazy.
If KkOma was not aware that professional teams need a lot of running-in and cannot hide the secrets, he would have suspected that this substitute was the trump card that EDG had prepared long ago.
Shake your head.
Put aside the messy thoughts.
KkOma decided to wait and see after the remaining three group matches were played.
One more week.
Something will always be revealed...
…
SKT is not the only one who has such doubts.
Other clubs are still feeling the same headache.
Within the region, the strength of the top laner does not actually have a particularly big impact.
As long as it can be used and doesn't hold back too much, it's fine.
The World Championship is different.
A strong top laner is the most solid and powerful guarantee for the team.
According to the previous game records.
A team with a top-level top laner may not necessarily win the championship.
But a team without a top laner will never win the championship.
and.
If one of the double Cs is out of line, there are still ways to make up for it.
After all, there are two output points. If one of them cannot stand out, you can concentrate resources to support the other one, and it will still be able to hold on.
If there is a qualitative gap in the top position, no one can stop it.
therefore.
Finding EDG to test has become the top priority for all the strong teams.
Unfortunately .
EDG's performance was completely different from the past and they refused to accept any battle invitation outside the LPL region.
He acted like he was working behind closed doors.
No matter what public opinion there is, just ignore it.
"Sparring? Do you think I'm a fool?"
Abu rejected another team and smiled disdainfully: "Except for us, all the teams in Group C are weak. If we play normally, we will definitely qualify as the first team. They had to fight hard to get the second place in the group, and they still want to test my bottom line?"
"Ignore them." BP coach Maokai expressed his support.
"By the way, how is Mouse doing these days?" Abu suddenly remembered.
"It's quite confusing. I still haven't figured out the thread of this version." Maokai shook his head.
"There's no time to wait for him. Let's focus on training Xing Dao." Abu made up his mind: "If playing it safe means we will lose, why not try it."
