Chapter 278 Unparalleled dominance!

Chapter 278 Unparalleled dominance!

With the official launch of the 8.11 version update, the overall rhythm of the LPL arena has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two days of competition. The new version is like pressing the accelerator, making the progress of the game extremely fast.

The lineups that used to be good at dragging the game into the late game seem a bit powerless in today's version.

In the past, they could rely on solid development and strong ability in late-stage team battles to exert their strength when the game entered the middle and late stages, achieving a comeback or consolidating their advantage.

But now, the rhythm of the game has been completely rewritten by the new version. The lineup that drags on to the late stage is often easily taken away by the opponent at lightning speed before it can even start to exert its strength.

In yesterday's match between IG and JDG, the IG team adapted well to this fast-paced version.

A Shui was holding back his energy, and after regaining his confidence, he was particularly ruthless on the court.

The IG team took advantage of the fast pace of the version and launched continuous attacks, not giving JDG a chance to breathe. It only took them an hour to sweep the JDG team with a devastating force.

In the training match between GT team and another team, after gaining an advantage in the early stage, GT team took advantage of the fast pace of the new version to quickly snowball, continuously expanding their economic advantage, and finally won the game easily.

Many teams have begun to pay attention to this situation, and coaches have been re-formulating tactics based on the characteristics of the new version during post-match reviews.

They realized that in this fast-paced 8.11 version, they must pay more attention to early laning, competition for jungle resources, and handling of small-scale team battles.

Only by establishing sufficient advantages in the early stages and taking advantage of the fast pace of the version to continuously expand your results can you take the initiative in the game.

At the same time, players also need to adapt to the rhythm of the new version more quickly, improve their operation and reaction speed, and seize every opportunity in the ever-changing game.

At this time, Wang Duoduo and Hao Kai sat in the commentary booth and began to deeply analyze the impact of the changes in the version situation.

Wang Duoduo spoke first, with a hint of emotion in his tone: "Have you noticed that the pace of this version is really fast? The game is often over in less than 30 minutes." After saying that, he shook his head slightly, as if he was still a little uncomfortable with the huge changes brought about by the new version.

Haokai nodded slightly, his eyes full of thought, and responded: "I watched the LCK and LCS games, and the lineups that wanted to drag the game into the late game often collapsed in the early and mid-game, and then once the map resources were lost, they couldn't even find a chance to turn the game around."

This situation will occur in all teams in the North American region that play in the mid-to-late game, which indirectly reflects how exaggerated the changes in this version are.

Riot Games really has no fear in making changes to this version!
Do you want to rebuild a dynasty team?
This really sparked a lot of people's imagination.

Haokai paused, then added, his tone becoming more firm: "The impact of 8.11 is very large. Riot's previous major changes to the mid lane, jungle, and now the bottom lane have made the confrontation in the early and mid-game more intense." He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing his concerns about the future direction of the professional league, "The structure of the professional league has been greatly affected."

At this point, Wang Duoduo's eyes lit up and a hint of excitement emerged on his face: "However, GT was originally a team that focused on early laning capabilities. I feel that they will be like fish in water in this version." As he spoke, he gestured in the air with his hands, as if he had already seen the scene of the GT team shining in the new version.

Haokai added at this time, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile: "GT is not a team that can only play in the early stage, but other teams can't hold on to the late stage, and this version has accelerated the pace... It feels like it will be common for the game to end in more than ten minutes."

Haokai's words also caused the audience in the live broadcast room to keep typing comments.

[Dogs are really good at licking! ]

[What did the oxygen bottle commentator say wrong? Aren't the opponents unable to make it to the late game? GT is also very good at withstanding pressure in the late game. I have seen them turn the tables many times. Have you forgotten SKT? They were defeated after leading by 10,000 economy.]

Wang Duoduo and Hao Kai's analysis of version 8.11 on the commentary stand, especially the discussion about the performance of the GT team in the new version, successfully aroused the curiosity of the audience, and everyone's attention was focused on GT's game.

Everyone is full of anticipation and eager to see how GT team will perform in their first game in the summer season.

The first match of GT team is against RW, which undoubtedly makes the attention of this game even higher. In the minds of many viewers, RW team is very strong in overall strength and is firmly in the top five in the LPL region.

The collision between such a strong team and the GT team will undoubtedly be a thrilling showdown like Mars hitting the Earth.

In everyone's opinion, the confrontation between these two teams, whose strength should not be underestimated, will definitely create intense sparks.

This game will definitely be extremely tense with many back and forth matches, and we will definitely be able to see a lot through this game.

For example, how is the GT team's tactical execution ability in the new version? Facing a strong opponent like RW, will their strategy of focusing on the early laning phase still work?

Or whether the RW team can adjust its tactics in time and demonstrate strong adaptability in the face of the changing rhythm of the new version.

This game also makes everyone more and more excited and they can’t wait until tomorrow to watch the game.

Although the GT team has already won many championship trophies, it is invincible on the field.

But now that they are back in the LPL league, facing the various variables brought about by the new version and the overwhelming pre-match discussions, the players are really feeling a little bit of pressure that is not easy to detect.

They all knew that the outside world almost unanimously believed that they could win this crucial first battle with RW.

It would be such a slap in the face if we lose the game tomorrow.

Imagine that something went wrong amid everyone's expectations. The scene would be a bit funny and I'm afraid it would become a laughing stock among fans and netizens.

This invisible pressure, on the contrary, turned into a powerful motivation. Although there was only one night left before the competition, the players did not slack off at all, and each of them was like a machine wound up, devoting themselves to the intense training.

In the training room, the sounds of keyboards and mouse clicks were heard one after another, mixed with the team members' heated discussions on tactics. They paid no attention to any details, repeatedly polished their early laning skills, and constantly practiced strategies for competing for jungle resources, striving to meet the challenge in the most perfect state in tomorrow's game and defend their honor.

Li Jiongjun looked at the scene in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

As long as his players train well, they will always be number one in the world!

On June 13th, the sun was scorching, but no matter how hot the sun was, it could not compare to the passion in the hearts of the GT Shenzhen home audience.

There is still some time before the game starts, but the venue is already packed. Every seat is occupied by eagerly waiting fans, who are filled with excitement and anticipation. The cheering signs in their hands are colorful, like a surging ocean.

Just as everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the stage, the host Ling'er appeared lightly on the stage.

With a sweet smile on her face, she raised her hand gracefully and waved enthusiastically to the audience. Her clear and pleasant voice instantly spread throughout the venue: "Hello everyone, I am Ling'er. Welcome to GT's home court in Shenzhen. The next game is the 2018 LPL Summer Season regular season, GT vs RW."

As soon as she finished speaking, a deafening cheer broke out at the scene, and fans responded to Ling'er in the most enthusiastic way. In the hearts of e-sports fans, Ling'er has a different charm compared to other commentators. As the exclusive host of GT Shenzhen home, she is like a friendly business card of the home.

Every time she appears on stage, the audience can feel her unique affinity, and fans naturally love her. After all, at home events, the audience has a bias in their hearts, and they are even more partial to this sweet host who frequently appears at home.

Although the warm atmosphere on the scene is exciting, the commentary that the audience hears when watching the game still depends on the commentary team in the official live broadcast room.

Thanks to advanced technology, their voices can be transmitted to the scene in real time without any delay, perfectly matching the game images and bringing an immersive viewing experience to the audience.

The camera turned to the backstage RW lounge. Doinb was sitting quietly, but the screams from the audience kept drilling into his ears, making him very restless, and his eyes were full of jealousy. Sease's figure emerged in his mind involuntarily. He won the world finals championship as soon as he debuted and had a huge number of fans. Such an achievement was really hard for him to let go.

Doinb couldn't help but fall into memories, thinking how good it would have been if the team hadn't had a split between the midfielder and the jungler two years ago. At that time, they were strong and had a great chance to win a world championship first. Even if they broke up, they wouldn't have such regrets now. But the reality can no longer be changed, and he can only sigh helplessly in his heart.

If that's the case, then what's the point of GT? What's the point of sease?
This guy is really lucky.

It’s because of this luck that I won so many championships.

The long off-season seemed to have given Doinb a shot of adrenaline, filling him with fighting spirit and making the unyielding spirit in his heart burn again.

He sat in the lounge, thinking about the upcoming game in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this victory was inevitable.

In his opinion, if he could win this game today and make the GT team taste the bitterness of defeat in their home court, that would be an extremely pleasant feeling, and would make him so excited that he would not be able to sleep all night.

"Hmph, it's time to let these guys know what it means that each version has its own god." Doinb murmured in a low voice, with a confident gleam in his eyes.

He is well aware that the current 8.11 version focuses on the early-stage rhythm, but he firmly believes that RW team's ability to adapt in this regard is better than GT team.

During the off-season, their entire team worked day and night to study and carefully polished a new lineup system based on the characteristics of the new version.

I feel that this system is perfect, like an extremely sharp sword that is about to cut through all obstacles on the field.

"GT will definitely not be able to withstand the lineup system we have developed in recent times." Doinb raised his chin slightly with a smug smile on his face, "This game is a great opportunity for us to teach them a lesson."

It was as if he had already seen the scene after the victory of the game, the cheers of fans and the hugs of teammates. All of this made him even more eager to get on the court and start this exciting match.

As the game officially began, the confident smile on Doinb's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a mask of pain.

His forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and every drop seemed to tell of his inner torment at the moment.

He sat blankly on the gaming chair, staring at the monitor with empty eyes, full of confusion and unwillingness: "Why is he still so strong! Why can't I win again?" An angry voice roared wildly in his heart, but all this could not change the situation on the field.

The camera turned to the game scene, Li Yi's mid-lane Irelia was like a god of war, killing everyone on the field.

His operation was smooth and each skill release was just right. He suppressed Doinb's Ryze and even reduced the record to zero and four.

RW team carefully prepared a mid lane support system before the game, hoping to use it to control the rhythm of the game, but now the mid lane has completely collapsed, and this so-called support system has instantly vanished.

The game developed in a one-sided situation without any suspense. The GT team was like a precision-operated victory machine. With excellent teamwork and individual strength, they won the first game cleanly in 21 minutes.

When the game ended, the screams and cheers from the audience in the stadium came like a surging tide, one wave after another, deafening.

In this lively atmosphere, Doinb felt as if he was in an ice cellar.

He felt like a funny clown. He was full of confidence before the game, jumping up and down on the field, trying his best, but his opponents seemed to disdain him and defeated him and his team easily.

The short break passed in a flash, and the battle drum for the second game officially sounded.

Li Jiongjun returned to the backstage lounge, constantly reviewing the details of the previous game in his mind and thinking about the tactical ideas of the RW team.

After some intense analysis, he already had a plan in mind. A confident smile appeared on his face. He decided to use his ultimate move in this round and use the fast-push, cannon, and tree system.

The game resumed, Li Yi controlled the cannon, moving nimbly between the lines of soldiers.

Although he did not perform a highlight operation like the previous game where he made a single kill, he gradually transformed the laning advantage into a lead in the team's rhythm with his delicate last-hitting and precise positioning.

In just fourteen minutes, all the outer towers in the middle lane were taken down by Tristana's powerful tower-pushing ability.

At seventeen minutes into the game, the battlefield shifted to the upper highland tower of the RW team.

The unparalleled tree stands in front, like an unshakable fortress, providing solid protection for teammates.

Li Yi's cannon continued to fire from the back, looking for the best time to attack.

RW team was obviously unwilling to give up the high ground, they tried to rely on tenacious defense and exquisite cooperation to forcibly hold this last line of defense. However, GT team's offensive was like a surging tide, one wave after another, making it difficult to cope.

Wushuang seized the opportunity and decisively used his ultimate skill. Huge tree roots broke out of the ground and trapped the members of the RW team.

Li Yi seized this moment, controlled the cannon to fire at full power, and coordinated with his teammates' skills to instantly create a perfect team battle of two for four.

The defeat in this team battle put the RW team into a desperate situation.

With no one blocking it, the Rift Herald charged forward, heading aggressively towards the RW team's front tower.

At this moment, the entire stadium was boiling, and the cheers and shouts of the audience were intertwined, as if they were going to blow the roof of the venue off.

The progress of the game was so fast that it was hard to keep up. Some games even lost suspense in six minutes, but in this game, it was not until the 20th minute that the fierce battle finally came to an end with the shattering of the RW team's crystal.

The two games of GT combined were finished in just fifty minutes, which made everyone experience once again how terrifying GT's dominance is!
This version is definitely a big upgrade without a doubt, and it is ridiculously strong! (End of this chapter)
