LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 196 Spring Season Top-of-the-List Battle! A Clash of Titans!

After finishing all the filming tasks for the club, Wang Yao packed his luggage and boarded the bus with the players to go to the airport.

However, everyone's schedules were different. Xi Ran was the one who accompanied Wang Yao during the Spring Festival. The two decided to go home to see each other's parents during the Spring Festival.

After exchanging New Year's greetings and gifts with their elders, Wang Yao and Xi Ran slipped away to go on a trip before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Yao was the first to return to the club. The training room was quite deserted at this time, and even the usually hardworking factory manager had not returned.

However, this doesn't affect Wang Yao. He can use this opportunity to make up for lost livestream time and complete Uncle Chen's task.

The game version will change after the New Year, and adapting to the new version has become a top priority for the players.

Judging from the schedule, EDG will soon be facing tough opponents in the East, including IG and RW!

Facing a fully-staffed EDG, IG takes it very seriously. They announced early on that TheShy's hand injury has recovered well and he is expected to face EDG in the later stages of the game.

EDG has now become the "public enemy" of LPL teams. Whoever can defeat EDG will gain a lot of attention.

Having assembled their trident, IG naturally wanted to use EDG as a sacrificial lamb to showcase their strength.

"We haven't scrimmed with IG in a long time, so we really don't know much about their situation," Meiko said, expressing some concern.

EDG's current level of attention and traffic is quite exaggerated, or rather, Wang Yao's current traffic is terrifying.

He was already the first champion and FMVP of the LPL, and his ability to perform so well in the mid lane in the new season has generated a lot of buzz and attention.

Moreover, EDG is a prestigious esports club with a strong foundation and a large fan base. Wang Yao's current popularity is in no way inferior to the so-called "top celebrities" in the entertainment industry.

"It's not a big problem, we can just play normally."

Wang Yao smiled and said, "IG is just so-so, we don't need to feel too much pressure."

Although the IG team is no different from its predecessor, possessing the potential to become a championship team and fighting extremely fiercely, their discipline is not good.

Even back then, JKL had a habit of being "bad at it but also likes to show off," often forcing himself to attack the opponent and then getting focused down and killed by the opponent.

Unfortunately, Ning is used to playing in the top half of the map, which means that if the bottom lane is not stable, JKL may become the team's weak point.

And that is indeed the case. In the S8 IG team, Baolan actually performed much better than JKL. The so-called IG trident has always been TheShy, Ning, and Rookie.

"We can't let our guard down this time. The IG players are in great form, so we have to take this seriously." Maokai sent the IG players' recent Korean server ranked data to the team.

TheShy, Ning, Rookie, JKL and others all have very high Korean server rank scores, especially Rookie who has reached the top ten in the Korean server.

Rank scores and records can effectively reflect a player's recent performance. While a high rank score doesn't necessarily mean everything, it definitely indicates that the player is skilled.

3 month 1 number.

The LPL league, which had been on hiatus for nearly half a month, has reignited!

The competition after the New Year was still mainly a group match. During this period, EDG's new lineup also encountered the "rookie wall", with Xiaotian and Lin Weixiang's performance fluctuating.

Fortunately, Wang Yao in the middle lane held on and led the team to several thrilling victories with a score of 2-1.

Soon, as time went by, after the intra-group matches ended, the LPL ushered in the inter-group matches!
At the same time, various versions of updated content were also distributed.

For example, in the mid lane, Ryze's E skill's spread damage has been reduced from 100% to 50%!

This is due to the significant nerf to Ryze's early-game wave clear ability, the removal of Zoe's passive from her Q skill, and the reduced damage and increased mana cost of Galio's Q skill...

However, these hero changes haven't had a significant impact on professional play. If the core mechanics of heroes like Galio and Ryze remain unchanged, their pick rates won't be affected at all.

The regular season flew by, spring quietly departed, and early summer slowly arrived.

As the playoffs approach, many previously dormant underdog teams have transformed into deadly upsets, consistently pulling off surprising victories.

Among them was LGD, the "Water Ghost King," who surprisingly achieved an amazing three-game winning streak in the latter half of the regular season!
Even the rising star RW Xia was unexpectedly defeated 1-2.

Led by Xiaohu and Uzi, RNG has reclaimed its second-place position in the Eastern Conference.

Although they have already secured a spot in the playoffs, they are no longer in contention for first place compared to IG, who have a better record.

The regular season is in full swing, and the season version is constantly being updated.

With the arrival of version 8.5, a brand new hero has landed in Summoner's Rift: the AD champion Kai'Sa!

Although Kai'Sa's range is a bit short, only 500 yards, her skill animations are quite good.

The QWE skills correspond to attack power, ability power, and attack speed. Once these three attributes reach the required level, they evolve and gain additional effects. The ultimate skill can also be used to coordinate with teammates to enter the fray and deal damage.

However, Kai'Sa's pick rate wasn't high when she was first released because this AD carry had too short a range, and her Q and W skills were prone to hitting minions.

Riot had to urgently buff Kai'Sa before this AD carry gained some popularity.

The heated debate over pigs and dogs this year has begun to subside.

What LPL viewers are looking forward to is the new trident IG team and the battle against the Silver Dragon Knights EDG!
EDG has no rivals in the West, so they have been leading the pack. In the East, they have also defeated teams such as RNG and RW, maintaining an undefeated record.

To satisfy the expectations of the vast majority of league viewers, the LPL officials deliberately placed the match between EDG and IG as the last game of the regular season.

The battle between EDG and IG before the start of this year's Spring Playoffs will serve as the final match of the S8 Spring Regular Season.

The EDG team in the East is currently on an 18-game winning streak, maintaining an undefeated record.

Meanwhile, the IG team in the West also dominated the highly competitive West with an impressive 18-game winning streak.

According to the schedule rules of this year's LPL Spring Split, after the two teams finish their respective inter-group matches, there will be another round of matches between teams within the same group.

That means each LPL team will play a total of 19 matches.

The inter-group match between EDG and IG, which should have ended much earlier, was postponed by Tencent Esports in order to boost viewership. The regular season match between the two teams was moved to a later date.

EDG and IG, the twin stars of the LPL, are not only highly anticipated in China, but also closely followed by countless League of Legends viewers on foreign esports media.

Since EDG won the S7 season, the entire LPL region has undergone tremendous changes.

The LPL's former regional landscape of one dominant force and many strong teams has evolved into a hellish arena with many dominant forces and many strong teams.

Anyone has a chance to rise to the top, anyone has a chance to become the new king of the Summit Alliance!

4 month 7 day.

On the night of the final match of the S8 Spring Regular Season, the official Weibo accounts of EDG and IG teams simultaneously released their promotional posters.

Fans of both teams flooded their respective official Weibo accounts with comments and jokes, maximizing pre-match buzz and attention.
