In the past, the S-League champion skin series was usually released during the MSI mid-season. However, this year, due to the influence of the Hall of Fame skin and the Oil Cup, T1's championship skin display was repeatedly postponed. But what is coming will eventually come, and in the expectation of players, T1's championship skin was released last night;

On the other side of the LPL arena, the group match is about to come to an end. The top teams are competing for the resurrection armor, while the bottom teams have already started studying the next round of opponents... Without further ado, let's take a look at today's LOL circle hot spots.



T1 champion skin debuts

After much anticipation, on the eve of the start of the playoffs, the official League of Legends event finally announced the content of the T1 champion skin. As the fourth champion skin of the T1 team, the color scheme is very different from the previous ones. The overall color scheme is white, supplemented by blue and pink. The specific original painting is shown below:

After seeing the appearance design of the T1 champion skin, I believe many players will feel that it deviates from the expected picture. After all, the main colors of T1 have always been black and red, and the blue, pink and white tones are actually more like BLG.



In this regard, the Riot designer explained:

"In order to make players feel powerful, T1's World Championship skin was inspired by gods from all directions and designed based on the "Guardian God". At the same time, most of T1's players are young, so we want to give people a clean, bright and fresh feeling.

To this end, bright tones were used instead of dark and strong colors. With white and gold as the base, red and blue were set as the source of power, showing a classic, elegant and solemn feeling.



However, this set of champion skins has caused quite a bit of controversy among players, with complaints about everything from the design to the special effects. What do you think of this set of skins?

The matchup of "Knight's Way" is confirmed

In yesterday's "King's Foot" battle, two zero-win teams in the summit group, NIP and LGD, competed. The two sides fought three games, and LGD finally won the final game and unlocked the first victory in the group match. After this game, the matchup of the "Knight's Road" schedule has also been determined.



From August 3rd to August 5th, LGD vs IG, NIP vs RA, OMG vs TT will be played one after another. These three games will be played in the form of single-elimination Bo5, and the loser will have a day off.



Theoretically, the teams in the Summit Group are stronger and have an advantage over the third and fourth ranked teams in the Nirvana Group. However, in the group stage, LGD and NIP only had a combined record of 1-15, and it is difficult to predict whether this will have an impact on the players' mentality.



It is worth mentioning that today is the final day of the group match. The results of BLG vs FPX and TES vs JDG will affect who will eventually get the "Resurrection Armor". In short, this week's games are all key battles, and no one knows whether a win or loss will change the timeline.

LOL new version multiple mechanism adjustments

In version 14.15, Riot designers have made some adjustments to the existing game content. In this upcoming update, the number of times a player is allowed to refuse a game has been reduced. In the current version, players are allowed to refuse a game four times before being banned. But in version 14.15, players will be banned as long as they refuse twice.

Of course, the ban here is more like an instant quit penalty, and players will not be able to participate in game matches for a period of time.



There is another change in the 14.15 version about the "required games to lift the ranking restrictions". Originally, players needed to play 5 matches to unlock the ranking mode, but after the adjustment, this process was reduced to 3 games. However, for new accounts, you still need to play 10 games in the Canyon matching mode before you can play the ranking.



The move by Riot designers is mainly to lower the threshold for veteran players to play ranked games, while allowing new players to spend more time adapting to the game. However, it should be noted that the latter mechanism adjustment is currently limited to Korean servers, and it is not certain whether it will be implemented in global servers.



So what do you think, is this change reasonable?
