Chapter 359: Predicting the champion's top 20? Canyon miracle!

The National Day holiday is over.

The V5 team boarded the flight to Seoul, South Korea, the host of this year's World Championship.

And it was also today that the S13 World Championship version was finally online.

"Master Ye, Brother Yuanshen, will there be any big changes in this version?"

He Youjun chartered the entire business class, and Xun in the front seat repeated the interpretation from the back, turning his head to ask.

"Should be" Ye Bo seemed to be thinking too.

Although V5 fans certainly can't avoid complaining, the first reaction to seeing the version update content is "Targeting V5!"

But the players themselves don't actually think so.

After all, heroes are nerfed because designers think the hero's strength is too high—and it just happens that they can frequently nerf V5 members, which only shows that they are fast at "catching the version" and "adapting to the version."

After all, if you really want to talk about it, the assassins that Ye Bo shone in the summer finals, as well as the mid lane Viego he used before, and Akali, who he is most famous for but not actually strong, were not nerfed.

If it was really "targeting and nerfing," these few would definitely not be able to run away!

And whether it is {Statikk Shiv}, {K'Sante}, {Sion}, {Varus}, these are all common top-tier heroes in the first half of the year and the summer split.

Especially K'Sante has almost ruled a season, and has not had the slightest effect after multiple nerfs.

The designer couldn't bear it and made a heavy cut!

The Q3 flash mechanism was directly removed, W cannot adjust the direction after charging, and the ultimate cannot be actively canceled after opening, and must be forced to wait for the ultimate time to reach before automatically canceling.

Although some values were returned, it is clear to the naked eye how many times "stupider" it has become!

The operation ceiling is definitely greatly reduced!

"Sion and K'Sante were both slashed, Jax and Renekton were not nerfed, but Aatrox and Gwen were strengthened..."

"In this case, the top lane pattern should change completely."

Ye Bo looked at the many heroes in the update announcement and fell into deep thought.

Hero strength, not necessarily directly strengthened heroes, is called strengthening.

Heroes that restrain him are nerfed -> is also strengthening.

Everyone else is strengthened but you are not strengthened -> that is nerfing, everyone else is nerfed but you are not nerfed -> that is strengthening!

Canyon relativity says so.

So every time there is a big version change, you can also try to dig out some obscure, but possibly strong heroes in the current version.

Ye Bo turned his head to look at Li Xuanjun, who was leaning by the window and didn't speak: "Brother Flandre, have you been practicing Gwen and Rumble recently?"

Li Xuanjun nodded immediately: "You asked me to practice before, I have been practicing."

And BeryL noticed a change that didn't look eye-catching: "I feel, this defensive tower strengthening is weird."

Ye Bo also nodded: "I noticed this too."

"But I feel this intensity has no effect, I even feel that it is still something we can use..."

The version update time is awkward, and there are not many days left before the upcoming play-in stage.

This update strategy is intended to test the heritage and true ability of each team.

So all current guesses can only be guesses, which are difficult to prove in practice, and only by waiting for the start of the play-in stage can we see a glimpse.

Everyone finished the meeting simply.

The cabin soon returned to a relaxed atmosphere.

Ye Bo watched the clouds outside the window for a while, and still took out his mobile phone to connect to the business class wifi.

He logged into the foreign network to search for Riot Games' official Twitter, originally wanting to see the reaction of foreign viewers, but didn't expect to see his team's name as soon as he clicked on the homepage.

【Regarding LPL's No. 1 seed Victory5, once again representing the LPL region to embark on the challenge of the "Golden Road," do you think they can succeed?】

In the tweet content with voting, it also listed the teams that had "counted" as embarking on the Golden Road in the ten-year history of League of Legends—

S5 SKT: Spring and Summer Champion, S-series Champion, only one small game away from the MSI final;

S6 SKT: Spring Champion, MSI+S-series Champion, only one LCK Summer Champion away;

S8 RNG: Spring and Summer Champion, MSI Champion, World Championship Top 8;

S9 G2: Spring and Summer Champion, MSI Champion, World Championship Runner-up, only one S-series Champion away;

S13 V5: Spring and Summer Champion, MSI Champion, only one World Championship away (?)

Looking back at the entire 13-year history—not counting this year's V5, there were only 4 teams that could be considered to have embarked on this road!

Even the S11 and S12 two-time champion EDG, because they lacked the Spring Champion and MSI two trophies, could not use the word "only one away," and could not be considered to have challenged this achievement.

It can be seen how harsh and difficult this road is.

And the "real" {voting ratio} below is also very "real," highlighting the obvious composition, and there is no need to guess at all.

The proportion of {Yes} is 43.96%

The proportion of {No} is 25.38%

The proportion of {Don't hope he can, but maybe he can} is 30.66%

The comment area of the tweet is also very lively.

【Ya Yixi! Even a dynasty like SKT couldn't finish the Golden Road, guess which step V5 will fall on in the World Championship?】

【I guess it's the Top 8, like S8 RNG, being done by G2! It just happens that 10.20 should be the Top 8 this year! And it's being played in Korea this year, everything matches—G2 is going to be a dynasty this year!】

【Unfair! It's really unfair! I seriously suspect that Riot changed the competition system this year to support V5, since the competition system was changed, even if they really win the championship, it can't count!】

【Don't carry the barbershop, Korean miscellaneous people are making a fuss】

【Those who believe V5 can win the championship, press 1! Those who don't believe V5 can win the championship, gouge out your eyes!】

【Doesn't anyone look forward to my WBG winning the championship? Did someone forget that Busan is the blessed land of Incheon people among all-god teams! Just wait for my TheShy to return to the peak and lead the team to kill all the way to Busan as the fourth seed and win the championship!】

【Didn't see the latest post? I can only say that even Riot has predicted that V5 will win the championship!】

Because of the World Championship reform this year, the "Group Stage" used for twelve years was reformed into a "Swiss Round," and there is no draw order for the four groups ABCD as before.

The rule of the Swiss round is to draw lots for teams with the same winning record in each round, so the draw for the group stage must wait for the results of the play-in stage to be carried out in a few days.

And due to the success of MSI, Riot also optimized the Swiss round of the S-series.

And for this brand-new competition system, whether it will bring brand-new challenges.

Ye Bo is also inexplicably looking forward to it in his heart.

He saw the last one and subconsciously clicked refresh.

—Riot's official Twitter actually posted a new post just now!

"Brothers, look at Riot's official Twitter! There is a live one!"

Without the group stage draw program for publicity, Riot's official Twitter simply started the annual traditional skill of the World Championship.

【2023 World Championship Top 20 Players】

"Where am I! Where am I!" Xun was anxious to turn down when he saw it.

"Don't worry, not seeing you doesn't mean your ranking is high," Li Xuanjun said with a smile, and soon turned to himself.

"I can actually rank 12th? Riot really gives face!" ===== CHAPTER 360 =====
