Chapter 57-The Peerless Swordsman makes her official debut!
"Brother Yuan, did you know all these things before?"

Jack, curled up in the quilt, looked at the stars outside the window in a daze.

He and Yuan Shen were assigned to live in the same dormitory, which both of them were happy about.

Anyway, we knew each other before and there is no conflict.

"I thought so when I first started playing professionally, but only children can distinguish between right and wrong, while adults only care about their own interests..."

"I understand, but shouldn't we try our best in every game? Isn't this the most basic professional quality?"

Jack still finds it hard to accept this reality as it is somewhat inconsistent with his career dream.

Yuan Shen remained silent.

He played professionally for a year, and his thinking had been changed without him knowing when.

Was he going to slowly change Jack's mind like everyone else?
"Make yourself stronger. Only by becoming stronger can you defeat all the enemy's plans."

Yuan Shen smiled.

In a high-end King of Glory game, it's just ten scheming boys scheming against each other, not to mention in the professional arena.

When it comes to the professional arena, it’s the two scheming boy groups that are scheming against each other, not only in terms of on-field factors, but off-field factors as well.

The negative information, scandals, and gossip about the players that are collected on a regular basis, as long as they are released at the right time and public opinion is guided to attack the players, can to some extent destroy a player's mentality and cause him to perform poorly in the competition.

Such things have happened more than once in major competitions.

"LGD's idea is very clear. They want to bypass EDG in the playoffs so that they can go one step further. Even if they lose in the end, they can still get a very good place in the bubble match with the high points advantage of the spring and summer runner-ups."

"As for us, we don't need to worry about so much. IG's third place in the Spring Split also has 100 points, but we don't need that. As long as we win the Summer Split championship, everything will be fine."

Yuan Shen drank the bowl of chicken soup directly with a satisfied smile on his face.

I guess Jack must be full of fighting spirit now!

Even he himself was getting excited!

Will win!
"But...aren't only the team with the highest points throughout the year guaranteed to qualify for the World Championship?"

Jack's voice was low, but it calmed Yuan Shen down.

NND, forget about this embarrassing competition system of S5.

In fact, the LPL's world championship system has been different for three consecutive years.

S3 specifically played the regional qualifiers, and the S4 summer playoffs were even after the world championship.

S5 is the first time that LPL adopts a points system. Simply put, the top four teams in the spring season will have 300, 200, 100 and 80 points, and the top four teams in the summer season will have 450, 300, 150 and 100 points.

Except for the team with the highest points throughout the year, which can be guaranteed to advance to the World Championship as the number one seed, all other teams have to play in the bubble match, but the team with higher points has higher priority and can play one less round.

However, after just a simple calculation, Yuan Shen got the answer.

Assuming they win the championship, IG will have 550 points, while LGD will have a maximum of 500 points and EDG will have a maximum of 600 points.

So the answer is obvious.

If they want to qualify for the World Championship as the number one seed, then preventing EDG from getting runner-up is the key!
In all other situations, IG will have to play in the bubble match.

……

The first round of the regular season has ended, and without any rest or adjustment time, the second round of the regular season has already begun.

Such a high-intensity regular season is rare even in LCK, let alone the European and American regions known for their casualness and health.

In their regular season, they only have to play one BO1 match per week.

Such a schedule arrangement actually has both advantages and disadvantages.

High-intensity confrontation is indeed beneficial to improving the overall strength of the competition area, but it is meaningless for strong teams.

Let the strong teams serve as sparring partners for the weak teams. If the weak teams are beaten more often, as long as they don't give up, their strength will naturally improve. They may even be able to drag one or two strong teams into the water and win a few games by showing their research results in advance. But if the strong teams play against the weak teams too much, it will not help improve their strength. Instead, they will gradually become arrogant and overconfident in the process of beating the weak teams. They will not be able to find their own problems, and their playing style and thinking will become rigid.

When it came to the World Championship, I was surprised to find that the way we played in China was different from this!

In contrast, there are only ten teams in LCK, six of which make the playoffs and three make the World Championship. The competition is much more intense and cruel, and it is often a clash of strong teams and fights between gods.

Unlike LPL, where most of the games are dominated by weak teams, the top six teams in the playoffs, or even the top seven or eight teams, have to rely on small points to compete for a place in the playoffs...

In the second round of the regular season, Yuan Shen could clearly feel the progress of the lower-level teams in the league.

Teams like RNG and WE are getting stronger and stronger, as if they have found a style of play that suits their team.

QG's dark horse status was also fully revealed. They almost never lost except when facing EDG, and the worst result was a 1-1 draw.

IG's overall strength is also slowly improving. They are capable of fighting against strong teams, but when facing weak teams, it becomes a one-sided performance.

Although the average game time of IG in the entire second round reached 28 minutes, IG still played the most exciting games in the games where they bullied the weak opponents.

A slight difference in strength means a world of difference, and you will be snowballed to death.

In the last game against EDG, IG also successfully scored a point and finally tied the game 1-1.

The regular season is over, and EDG is still ranked first. The other seven teams are QG, IG, LGD, Snake, OMG, VG, and M3.

After arriving at the base, the first thing we did was to hold a meeting.

IG’s biggest problem has not yet been solved.

JackeyLove's performance is still a little immature, and he often reveals flaws because he is too anxious. Blindly fighting and daring to fight is not a good thing.

KID, however, still maintains his usual style, attacking weak teams hard and being submissive to strong teams.

In the current version, team battles in the mid-to-late stages still have to be handed over to the ADC. When facing a strong team, unless the early stages go smoothly and IG enters the offensive rhythm that they are best at, it will be easy to drag the game into the late stages.

Even Yuan Shen can't change this.

No matter how powerful the weapon sword girl is, it is impossible for her to use the Infinity Edge to attack continuously in a crowd.

Even if it is a single core as mentioned above, the ADC must dare to output and bear all the pressure from teammates.

The best way to play for a core team is to output crazy damage under the big brother's crotch like Liang Xiaosan did last year.

Spending nine seconds moving out of ten completely wastes the space created by the team. It is simply a crime.

IG's final result in the regular season was third place.

This result is not good, but it is not bad either.

At least Yuan Shen thinks third place is still good.

Losing a game is sometimes a good thing. After winning too many games in a row, even KID and Shekeke became a little lax and often slacked off and did not train seriously.

Anyway, the results are already like this, why should I take it so seriously?

Compared to Yuan Shen and Jack, some people's desire to win is not that strong.

However, the playoff version has quietly changed.

As early as July, the Chinese server launched an event called the Bilgewater Incident.

At that time, the game was updating some things in real time based on the plot. When the story ended, the captain was killed by Miss Gun. Every player got a ghost captain's skin. The default skin for those who chose Miss Gun was the newly released Empress. When the story was over, the new version of the captain would be online.

The background story was also updated synchronously. Captain Gangplank lost his left hand, but he did not die. He put on a prosthesis and returned to Bilgewater to make those bastards feel the wrath of the returned captain. During this period, anyone who has played the captain will be given the skin of the former overlord when the update is released.

The captain's update time is August 10th.

On the same day, version 5.15 was officially launched, and the new version of Fiora was launched!
Before we knew it, the version of the heavy-armored warrior has quietly arrived!
