Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 190 System Update! Ancient God Vn!

"System update complete. Please log in to view."

As Li Luo entered the venue with everyone else and sat in the lounge waiting for the director to announce his turn, a familiar mechanical voice came from his mind.

Is the update finally finished?

After achieving a 19-game winning streak in the Spring Split, the system prompted him to update and then went silent. If it hadn't popped up now, Li Luo would have forgotten that he even had a system.

Open the system!

As the words fell, the familiar black and white colors immediately enveloped the entire visible area, and time seemed to stand still as the black and white colors spread.

"Huh, isn't this just an update to the second version of Dream Manager? They really just copied it directly?"

Looking at the somewhat familiar interface, Li Luo clicked twice and then didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In the games I played before, in addition to the first version of the roulette item drawing system, a 2.0 version of the celebrity gacha system was also launched.

As the name suggests, just like general cards, once you draw a star card, you can inherit that player's abilities for a period of time.

But if you think this is a lucrative opportunity, you'd be sorely mistaken. You should know that Dream Manager is a piece of trash from Tencent.

Not only do you have to grind, you also have to spend money!
For example, Faker, the Great Demon King, has no fewer than five versions in the Star Card system.

Faker, the hero of Season 3.

Faker, the god of war in Season 5.

Faker, the Demon King of S6.

Faker, the god of S7.

Faker, a veteran player from S9.

If you draw one of the first four, that's fine, but if you draw the veteran Faker, that's terrible. Faker's stats in S9 even dropped to the bottom of the top-tier mid laners.

"Ding, detecting, the host has successfully completed the undefeated Spring Season mission, reward: 5000 points."

"Ding, in progress. You have accumulated too many free monthly lottery draws. Free draws will be canceled, and all draws will be converted into VIP lottery draws."

"Ding, detecting! The host led the team to an outstanding victory in the LPL Spring Split Championship. Reward: 5000 points."

The two rewards of 5000 points each made Li Luo very excited. With the addition of the various tasks he completed, his points now reached 15000, which meant that he could have 30 consecutive draws in the VIP lottery.

Including the free lottery conversions, you can draw a total of 36 times.

The unexpected windfall made Li Luo blush and feel excited, even though he had been in this world for more than half a year.

Open the roulette wheel and start with a 10-pull of regular items.

恭喜宿主获得【局内治疗卡*1%】、【属性鉴定卡】、【局内治疗卡*1%】、【局内治疗卡*1%】、【局内治疗卡*1%】、【局外治疗卡*5%】、.
This time, the ten-pull didn't inherit the luck of the previous lucky draw, but he got an out-of-game healing card, and Li Luo nodded in satisfaction.

My body has recovered almost completely after recuperation, so the effects of these in-game healing cards are negligible.

However, the puppies outside the game, after self-destruction in S8 and S9, have reached the point of exhaustion and urgently need outside healing cards.

Since he still had so many points, Li Luo didn't plan to hold back and used them for another ten-pull.

As the pointer slowly swept across the brightly colored areas, it gradually came to a stop.

A barely visible purple area—as an item second only to gold in rarity—the pointer, as expected, stopped!
The system notification sound followed!

Congratulations, host, you have obtained [Out-of-Game Healing Card *1%], [Out-of-Game Healing Card *5%], [Dream Back to Peak Card *1], and [Position Mastery Card (3-Star) *1].
Huh, a location mastery card?
After clicking on the card's description, Li Luo read it for a while before understanding the system's obscure explanation.

By using cards, you can raise your proficiency to 3 stars in all five positions, such as junglers like Kindred, Lee Sin, Kha'Zix, etc.

The same principle applies when using the mid lane; you can raise your mid lane hero proficiency to three stars.

If it weren't for the Samsung logo on the back, this card would be more powerful than ever before.

Unfortunately, even with the addition of the three-star limited edition, although it is still very rare, for someone like me, the weakest hero in the bottom lane, who is also three-star, three-star is only equivalent to the bottom of the first tier.

Aside from the fact that all the proficient heroes can be turned into an uncounterable horde, this card's effectiveness is not particularly impressive.

Instead of using it, I saved the card to my backpack and then opened a new lottery interface for celebrity cards.

Having had bad luck with two consecutive ten-pulls, Li Luo decided to try single pulls one by one this time.

Congratulations, host, you have obtained [S4 Prime Nami (ADC) *1]

Nami? Or peak Nami. As an ADC in her prime, she was once touted as the world's best ADC in S4, and her first pick gave Li Luo a lot of surprises.

Opening the properties, however, was somewhat disappointing.

Nami's attributes aren't bad, but they're not top-tier either. Her basic stats fluctuate in the upper-middle range of the top tier, but she hasn't reached the top level. Overall, she's just a well-performing AD carry in a specific system.

Nami's poor performance made Li Luo lose the will to continue slowly drawing cards, so he directly ordered a ten-draw.

恭喜宿主获得【s3姿态*1】、【S7 west*1】、【S4 gogoing*1】.【S3 Uzi*1】、【S9 Uzi*1】。

The cards from the ten-pull weren't anything special; he even got two Uzi cards, which instantly made Li Luo feel a bit bored.

There was still a chance, but looking at the pile of garbage, Li Luo lost all his enthusiasm and prepared to exit the system interface.

But as if by some strange twist of fate, the hand that was about to leave touched Uzi's card again, and a series of attributes popped up.

Unlike its current attributes, the S3 puppy's attributes are much more impressive, even surpassing its current attributes.

"Ding, a card has been detected that matches the host's identity. Would you like to combine the strengths?"

Combining strengths?

Upon hearing the system's words, Li Luo was overjoyed.

"Stack, stack the S9 cards!"

As the words fell, the chubby Uzi card from S9 gradually transformed into a stream of light, turning into blue wave particles that entered the body. Immediately afterward, a feeling of clarity washed over him.

It felt exactly the same as using the Peak Experience Card, or even more intense.

Upon opening his attribute panel, Li Luo's mouth gaped open in an "O" shape. If he had to describe the current panel in one word, he could only say:

Horror!
Although all the combined values ​​did not exceed the upper limit, the hero with the highest proficiency is Vayne.

However, it surprisingly broke through the ceiling of five stars, lighting up half a star behind five stars for the first time.

Five and a half stars!
If five stars represent a god, then five and a half stars represent an ancient god. Don't underestimate the difference of half a star; it's as significant as the difference between one star and five stars.

Throughout his life, even Brother Li never escaped the five-and-a-half-star level of wandering. Now, by stacking bugs, he has reached the five-and-a-half-star level. Although he only has one game, it has made Li Luo feel the terror of the system.

Uzi was already this strong in S9, so what if he combined that with the strongest Uzi from S3?
Isn't that... a six-star?

"What we are currently broadcasting is the 2018 MSI Mid-Season Invitational. Welcome to the show. The opening match is between our LPL team RNG and the European team FNC."

As this is the opening match, the commentary opportunity was given to Changmao, a highly professional commentator. This is the first time he has met everyone again since taking a break from the Spring Split to recover.

"And to all our viewers watching the MSI Mid-Season Invitational online, welcome!"

The director's camera panned to Changmao, who was dressed in a suit and tie, sitting in the commentary seat, with two very familiar faces beside him.

"Today, I'm also being commentated on this match by two special guests sitting next to me." As Changmao spoke, the camera panned to give a close-up of the two people next to him.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wu Wukai, I'm Pdd."

Two retired veterans of the live streaming industry were also invited to the commentary booth today to be in charge of the opening match.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group began discussing today's matches as the studio announced the start of the broadcast.

Today's first match, the opening game, will be between the host team FNC and RNG, currently recognized as the strongest team by the official authorities.

According to past practice, the organizers would have arranged for the host team to play a weaker team in the opening match.

However, it's also unfair to immediately go and beat up wildcard teams that are obviously weak.

Normally, a match between North American LMS players would be arranged, which would at least save face. But this time, RNG was unprecedentedly paired with FNC, whetting everyone's appetite.

The group stage uses a double round-robin system. Unlike the World Championship, there are fewer teams in the MSI, so you only need to go through the group stage twice with other teams to win.

In this way, the choice between red and blue is also very simple. If you choose the blue side when the two teams meet for the first time, then you will be the red side when they meet again in the group stage.

In this match, FNC rolled the dice first and got the blue side, while RNG got the red side.

"In RNG's opening match, we can see that they've replaced their top laner with Xiaodongbei and their jungler with Xiaotian. It seems RNG is planning to give their players some practice. But to be fair, with the changes this season, a team can bring two substitutes, which undoubtedly provides a lot of flexibility to their lineup."

Longhair looked at the starting lineup in his hand and said.

"Let me introduce the current FNC team. The mid laner is Caps, and the ADC is Rekkles, who should be familiar to everyone. The top laner is Bwipo, the jungler is Broxah, and the support is Hylissang."

FNC has many star players. Although Caps will join G2 in 19 to complete a dream collaboration with Perkz, he is currently staying with Rekkles at FNC.

FNC's performance this year has been quite good. Top laner Bwipo has a versatile style and can often help FNC gain an advantage in the laning phase. As the currently recognized best top laner in Europe, his support and split-pushing abilities have a bit of a Korean import feel to them.

Jungler Broxah is known as the "only tough guy" in the LoL professional scene. Most professional players have very irregular schedules and no time to exercise, so most of them are very thin.

But Broxah is different. He's a man who can completely suppress Death's Declaration, and in the European and American circles, as the current meta pick, he's very good at aggressive jungling.

However, bh is a well-known RNG fan. He is not only a fan of Uzi, but has also stated in his live streams many times that he learned Xiangguo's playstyle.

Overall, FNC's ability to secure second place in S8 is a testament to their formidable strength.

Boom!
As the music for the draft began, the three of them finished analyzing the announced lineups and started looking at the draft.

RNG, on the blue side, took the lead by banning top laner Bo's Gangplank.

This ban was clearly targeted, and the comments were all "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").

"Many people may not know this, but the most popular top laners in Europe are actually starting to look retro, like Rumble and Gangplank. These kinds of champions are very popular with European and American teams. Here's some data: in the Spring Split alone, Gangplank appeared a whopping 32 times. And their understanding of the champions is different from ours in the LPL. Their Gangplank can be played in the mid lane, and he has even appeared in the ADC position."

The man with long hair, speaking with great expertise, said that although Europe and America have not yet begun a true Renaissance, they are still full of outrageous activities.

When the Captain appears in the ADC position, it's similar to when Irelia appears in the AD position. When facing a normal AD laner, he doesn't fall behind at all.

"Yes, this is our first time facing a European or American team this season, so we should show them some respect."

"Here, I think FNC should study how to counter the bot lane. Rekkles can't lane against Uzi, those who know, know."

With a mischievous grin on his face, Wu Wukai and the other two clearly had a thorough understanding of FNC from their conversation.

Both sides had their own bans planned, and soon RNG's three picks were Captain, Swain, and Veteran.

FNC also directly banned Alistar, Karma, and Morgana.

All three versions of Tier 1 supports were banned, which shows how powerful this type of support is in this version, capable of both aggressive play and defensive strategies.

The fact that they didn't target RNG's top, mid, and jungle players fully demonstrates their strength.

"After the 8.9 patch update, once the mid-lane mage gains lane priority, they can easily gank with the three supports. FNC is indeed still wary of RNG's bot lane."

"Let's see how FNC, as the blue side, will pick first. Hmm, did FNC watch the RNG vs. IG finals? They directly picked it as a ban, and then picked Uzi's Kai'Sa. But Kai'Sa has been nerfed a lot recently. This pick isn't a wise choice for Rekkles, who isn't good at Kai'Sa."

Pdd found an opportunity and subtly praised RNG's bot lane, then shook his head in satisfaction.

"It seems the official arrangement for FNC to face RNG was well-prepared. Now, the outcome of the match is definitely in doubt."

Chris, standing behind the five RNG players, raised an eyebrow, looking at FNC's coach's draft pick with slight surprise.

If Letme were playing today, then the top, mid, and jungle players wouldn't have much of a way to deal with Fnatic.

But today's players are Xiao Dongbei and Xiao Tian, ​​who are completely different from the normal RNG system.

If FNC is targeting the bot lane, then RNG's top, mid, and jungle players could teach FNC a lesson today.

Thinking this, Chris immediately instructed Xiao Dongbei to lock out the Vladimir champion he frequently used in the Spring Split.

Vampire has many counters in the top lane, so it doesn't really matter whether you let him go to the back lane or not.

Xiaotian locked in Olaf, the jungle overlord who can help Vladimir develop smoothly in the early game.

On the other hand, FNC's second and third picks were not afraid of RNG's lineup at all, and they picked Braum and Trundle, which counters Olaf.

The two teams are evenly matched.

Fnatic in S8 shone brightly in the world championships. You could tell from their draft picks that Fnatic was determined to go head-to-head.

"Little dog, this game I'll give you a long-range champion, Caitlyn? Are you going to go all-in on suppression?"

Chris asked.

"Long arms? No need, take Vayne!"

Feeling the five and a half stars of proficiency in his mind, Li Luo decided to let Ou Cheng experience the fear of being controlled in advance.

"RNG will probably pick Caitlyn or Kog'Maw here to ensure the team's damage output in the early and mid-game, otherwise RNG's mid-game strength is very weak relying solely on Olaf."

"Yes, it should be."

Before Changmao could finish speaking, the fans in Zhengda Plaza had already started cheering loudly.

Outside the studio, in the plaza, countless RNG fans were dancing and waving their arms, their faces filled with fervor.

"Wow, the puppy's Vayne, using Vayne against Kai'Sa, my god, RNG's lineup is way too late-game!"

Barrage--
"Haha, it's here! The puppy's Champion Vayne is coming soon, even though it's only been released!"

"I have a feeling Rekkles is going to be depressed again."

"Ryze, Vladimir, Vayne—three late-game cores. If they can drag the game into the late game, Fnatic has no chance."

The lineups of both sides are finalized.

Fnc (blue side) vs Rng (red side)

Top Lane: Cho'Gath vs. Vladimir

Jungle: Trundle vs Olaf

Mid Lane: Malzahar vs. Ryze
ADC: Kai'Sa vs. Vn
Support: Braum vs. Tahm Kench
