I just turned eighteen, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 25 - Playoffs are coming, new version of Sword Princess
I got a pentakill on Jayce and went home to take out a Bloodthirster!
In just over twenty minutes, Jayce had already bought Phantom Flame, CD shoes, Whisper of the Dark Lord, Brutal Force, and Bloodthirster.

Nearly four and a half large pieces, unmatched!
The other teammates also developed under Jayce's four-one push and pull.

A minute later, the five players gathered on the road and pushed forward. The blue team had no way to stop the red team from pushing forward.

Mingkai and Ximen's double row program also suffered its first defeat.

"It's just outrageous..."

After finishing the ranked match, Wei Shen still couldn't recover.

He was having a hard time against Mingkai in the laning phase. He originally thought that this game was going to be difficult, but he didn't expect Yuan Shen to force a breakthrough successfully.

"It's still a bit risky. This hero is not easy to use in competitions."

Yuan Shen didn't care much.

The hero Jayce is really too risky.

This is just ranked play. If it's a competition, the opposing jungler will definitely not ignore Jayce, but will try every means to limit his development, even at the cost of sacrificing the bottom lane to let the bottom lane withstand the pressure.

The hero Jayce is useless once he is targeted.

Want to get a chance to play, unless the version changes.

……

On the other side, EDG base.

Mingkai was stunned when he looked at the game settlement interface.

The economic lead in the match was 4396, and the output was twice that of Centaur. The record was almost perfect, and there was no fault to be found in the performance throughout the game.

If he was facing an ordinary passerby, he wouldn't take it so seriously.

But that's MaRin!
Although they beat SKT at MSI, he still had a deep impression of MaRin. He thought that even if the top lane collapsed, it wouldn't be too bad, but he didn't expect Yuan Shen to carry the team successfully.

……

The seven-day exchange competition ended quickly.

The Flash Wolves and LGD players gradually became familiar with each other and were reluctant to part when they parted.

"See you at Worlds. We'll definitely have no problem making it to Worlds. But you guys, you better be careful with your results now. You might not even make it to the playoffs."

Yuan Shen looked at Wei Shen and smiled.

"Bullshit, we will definitely make it to the World Championship this year. Just be careful not to be put in the same group with me, otherwise I will have to teach you a lesson for being too arrogant." Wei Shen scolded with a smile.

The grouping rules for the World Championship are that the number one seeds of LPL, LCK, European LCS and North American LCS each occupy one group. The LMS region does not have this privilege because it was just established.

After both sides said goodbye to each other, the Flash Wolves boarded the plane and prepared to return to Taichung.

For them, the regular season is only half played, but the remaining half doesn't make much difference.

There was still no opponent who could match him except AHQ, but Yuan Shen could clearly feel that the opponent in the second round was much stronger than in the first round.

In the last round of the regular season, Flash Wolves also suffered their first defeat, losing 0-2 to AHQ.

The final results of the regular season were also released after this game.

AHQ ranked first with a record of 13 wins, 1 draw, and 27-1.

而闪电狼，则是以12胜1平1负，25-3的战绩屈居第二。

The four teams that entered the playoffs are AHQ, FW, HKE, and MSE.

Flash Wolves will wait for the winner of HKE and MSE in the second round, while AHQ will wait for their opponent in the third round.

……

"Fiora? Has it been updated yet?"

Maple looked at the hero used by Yuan Shen in surprise.

"Well, the Korean version is already available."

Yuan Shen nodded.

There is a one-week break between the regular season and the playoffs.

The playoff version has been completely determined.

Version 5.16 is the version that Sword Princess is updated in. In addition, the new version of Captain that has been promoted will also be launched in this version.

These two new heroes have completely different mechanisms from the old version. As soon as they appeared, they attracted countless people's attention.

The playing style, equipment, skill points, and combo sequence are all unknown.

Many old Fiora players were very angry and were complaining that Riot had changed the oriental beauty into an oriental aunt.

Many players who have not yet fully understood the new versions of Gangplank and Fiora are complaining.

There are far more insults than praises.

However, for ordinary players, if you don’t know how to play, you can play something else.

But this is not the case for professional players.

All teams are studying this version.

Generations and versions of gods.

If you want to stand out in the playoffs and get a spot in the World Championship, you cannot do so without studying the version carefully.

Each version has its own strong heroes and combination routines, and professional teams need to grasp this information as soon as possible.

But if nothing unexpected happens, no team will be able to use these two heroes in the playoffs.

The reason is very simple.

If you want to master a hero, you can't do it without hundreds of ranked games.

Many players were criticized by the audience and fans as being hero coins, unique skills brothers, and being banned and retired on the spot.

But in the casual games, they really dare to use any hero, but they really can't play too many heroes in the competition.

It’s not that the players are timid, nor is it that the coaches force the requirements, but that they are not proficient enough.

Professional players’ standard of “mastery” is more than one level higher than that of ordinary people.

The average passerby's ability to play is equivalent to a stranger knowing their name among professional players.

Moreover, according to the results of data analysis, if you want to use Fiora and Gangplank, you must focus on the top lane.

This kind of tactical play is completely contrary to the entire summer season version.

But for Flash Wolves, the profound meaning behind Riot's move is too crucial.

"I've watched all the version updates this year. In version 5.8, Ryze was reworked. In version 5.9, Cinderhulk was weakened, Olaf's Troll was strengthened, Crocodile's skills were slightly reworked, plus the adjustments to Black Cleaver and Ruined King. Now, Gangplank and Fiora are online..."

The more Zhou Luxi spoke, the more absurd it seemed to him, and he didn't even dare to say anything.

"I mean, Riot has been reducing the importance of the bottom lane this year and increasing the competition in the top half, so is there a possibility..."

Char Siu looked at the silent warhorse beside him, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

"I mean, this year's World Championship might be a top-lane meta."

"If that's the case, then this is our chance!"

Zhou Luxi and Char Siu sang the same tune. This information was too important to them!

In the entire LMS, or even in the top five regions around the world, there are very few teams that have a single core player like them!
No, it can be said that there is none at all!

Even if other teams react and start paying attention to the top position, they will not be able to do it as well as they do.

Tactical changes definitely cannot be completed in a short period of time, as that means the entire team's thinking must change.

The playing styles of the top laner, jungler, mid laner, and bottom lane duo will also need to change.

In this way, the Flash Wolves can gain the upper hand!

"But time is too short. If we can't win the championship, we still have to play in the qualifiers..."

Zhanma pinched his eyebrows and felt a little headache.

He was not worried about Flash Wolves' tactical system, but was only worried about whether Yuan Shen could train these two heroes in a short period of time!

Even if Yuan Shen mastered the skill, he wouldn't have enough time to integrate with the team. Without a suitable lineup and strategy, the new hero's power wouldn't be fully realized...

"Ah Yuan, can you practice it?"
