Riot Games officially confirms that Battle of Two Cities will count as the main story of the League of Legends universe
LOL studio head Meddler said in reddit forums to answer the netizen’s question, the battle of the two cities will now be regarded as the hero alliance universe of the main story, and the hero alliance universe of the main worldview in line.
And Meddler said that just because Battle for the Twin Cities didn’t show the entirety of Pilotwolf and Zuan doesn’t mean that some characters who didn’t make an appearance aren’t in that worldview, like Mondo who didn’t show up in the first season. But that doesn’t mean that Mondo doesn’t exist in the Battle of the Twin Cities worldview. It’s just that too many quests appearing in one production would be overload.
Meanwhile, LOL producer Brightmoon also confirmed on his personal Twitter feed in response to a question from a user that the story of Battle of Two Cities and the League of Legends universe are both set on the same Rune Continent, and that while there are some setting conflicts at the moment they will be resolved slowly over time.
League of Legends’ “Battle of the Two Cities” Becomes a Benchmark for American Drama-Style Anime, and Thousands of Summoners Go Crazy for It
League of Legends Alliance’s first official animated series “Battle of the Twin Cities” premiered on November 7 in the domestic video platform, with its hard-core plot and excellent picture, successfully attracted countless fans call, many netizens have also become a self-water, all around the treasure animation, anyway, I chased the first three episodes, full of brains are looking forward to updating, I believe that this waiting for the subsequent development of the plot of the eagerness to follow the drama of the psychology of the people can be understood.
With much anticipation, episodes 4-6 of Battle of Two Cities are finally updated and online, and the excitement continues. In the third episode, the dungeon founder Fandel died tragically, Ui blamed it all on Bakudou, who is not enough to make things happen, and under the encouragement of the Enforcer and Hilko, Ui and Bakudou, the twins’ relationship is broken, and they have been on different paths since then.
In episode 4, the blackened Bak Bak, at this time called Jinx, became Hilko’s minions, in Pi Cheng caused a number of bombings, resulting in the death of six law enforcement officers. In order to solve the case, Pitt’s sheriff, Caitlin, takes Azure, who knows the clues, from the jail. Azure and Jinx, once best friends, are now on opposite sides of the fence.
The Battle of Two Cities is a dual narrative, with Azure and Jinx’s story line and HexTech as a major strand, and the focus is on the young Jace, who tries to harness the magic of the runes through science. Though the Academy’s president, Professor Heimerdinger, doesn’t think Jace’s research will end well, with the help of the council members and Victor, Jace harnesses the power of the Hex Crystal and also wants to normalize it for use in every aspect of the city’s development, but whether or not he can pull it off, it’s still unknown.
The Battle of Two Cities has garnered numerous positive reviews since the day it aired, with a total Douban rating of 9.0 and over 150,000 viewers scoring it, with 5-star ratings accounting for 60.9% and zero 1-star ratings. Of course, not only is the domestic audience like this animation, the foreign audience is also very obsessed, this point from the rotten tomatoes freshness 100%, the audience popcorn index 98%, IMDb rating 9.4 and other data can also be seen. It’s said that a really good show is one that can be enjoyed in all corners of the world and satisfy the different preferences of different people from different cultures, and Battle of Two Cities has done that.
In addition to Hollywood’s professional level of subplotting and scriptwriting, and the superbly fitting and catchy theme song, Battle of Two Cities’ graphics are also at a high level that ordinary animation can’t reach. Whether it’s the fight scenes or the characters’ movements, they’re all rich, natural, and have a strong sense of impact, making it feel as if every shot is in 3D.
Take the 6th episode of Azure and Jinx meet, but was attacked by unknown people, for example, just two minutes of fight scenes, fist to flesh, coupled with the awesome handling of the camera, violence and aesthetics at the same time. There are so many other violent aesthetic shots like this in the show that almost every fight scene is an animated ceiling, and you can see the funds burning in every frame.
It is said that this drama is the fist six years to grind a sword carefully polished out, all the scenes are not modeling production, but pure 2D hand-painted, yes, you understand correctly, that is the meaning of an angle is a separate painting, coupled with 3D characters using stylized rendering, to achieve the 4K film only have the experience of visual effects.
Of course, the excellent production and strong visual impact are important reasons for the popularity of “Battle of Two Cities”, but the more crucial thing is the plot, which is the core of attracting attention for a long time. In the aired episodes, in fact, also hides a lot of suspense, such as why the transformation of the explosion is so huge, seemingly overnight from the true innocence of the explosion blackened into a crazy almost out of control Jinx, Hilko in the middle of what kind of role, whether the use of drugs in the control of her. There’s also the Hales technology, for the time being it looks like Pitt is better off because of it, but it’s questionable if it will backfire later on.
At the end of episode 6, Jace forces Pi Cheng’s father, Professor Heimerdinger, to retire, a seriously ill Victor returns to his homeland and appears to be experimenting with genetic mutations, and Ui is taken captive by a masked figure - how much of an impact all of this will have on Pi Cheng and Zuan, whose relationship is already precarious, no one knows, and will have to wait for subsequent episodes to answer the question.
