Chapter 63 Big upset! Sweep IG!
Chapter 63 Big upset! Sweep IG! (ask for monthly votes)
April 16th, the last game of the LPL spring regular season.
The match between EDG and JD ended as the final battle.
The top four places for Groups AB have also been announced.
RNG in Group A was not in very good shape at the beginning of the season, losing to IM team in the opening game. However, they adjusted themselves in the second half and won consecutive games, and their position as the first in Group A has never been shaken.
The second place is the dark force OMG. Thanks to the double C of Sima Laozei and icon, they finally don’t have to fight for relegation this year.
The third and fourth places will be interesting.
The Snakes thought they had secured a place in the playoffs, but they lost to GT in the penultimate game, which caused a butterfly effect and led to them losing the last game as well...
With a record of seven bars and nine goals, they can advance to the next round in Group B.
But in the fiercely competitive Group A, he lost by just one point!
IG took the third place with the same points thanks to better wins, and IM just had one more win than Snake.
It was under such circumstances that GT managed to step on NB and successfully squeeze into the playoffs.
This is also a point that everyone talks about. This year's spring season is really interesting.
I didn't expect that such a situation would occur in both groups A and B.
Compared with Group A, the competition among the top players in Group B is fierce.
The two teams WE and EDG have been competing for the first place in Group B from the beginning to the end of the season.
But the turning point for both teams was when they opened up a gap with GT in the same group.
Because WE had experienced GT's weakness in the training match, they knew very well how to target them at that time.
So we won this crucial game.
EDG never dreamed that they would lose to the last-ranked team.
This loss completely closed the gap between the two sides to just one point, and they really couldn't catch up in the next few games.
WE advanced to the playoffs as the first in Group B and only needed to play in the third round.
The most important thing is to avoid RNG and wait for EDG and RNG to fight to the death in the lower half.
The third place is the JD team that was just invested this year.
After experiencing the setback in last year's spring season, QG has shifted its focus to Honor of Kings and sold the team to JD.com.
But they also have a team, NB Team.
But if they fail to avoid relegation, this last team will probably give up.
The fourth place is GT, which no one expected.
Later, he fought a very beautiful turnaround...
There are only two days between the playoffs and the regular season.
According to the rules, groups A and B will compete against each other, 1324.
In this case, GT’s opponent in the first round is IG... Only after passing this round can they consider what happens next.
And according to the playoff rules, the team with a lower ranking in the first round will lose the first game.
This means that GT had already lost a game before it even started.
This has been discussed in various forums.
Some people think that losing before the game is stupid, how can you do that in a Bo5? And you only do this for one round, and then you return to normal in the second and third rounds. Isn't this targeting the fourth round?
They are all playoff teams. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to treat them differently?
Either you make the whole competition system like this, where the player with a higher ranking has a one-game lead at the start of the match, or you cancel this rule.
Even some people who said that you didn't play well in the regular season and that's why you were treated like this couldn't say anything.
It is indeed a bit too targeted at the fourth-place team.
Even if the fourth place player is given priority in choosing sides, if he is not in good shape and is eliminated in two games, there is really no way to complain.
As a result, the situation escalated and put huge pressure on the officials, and many people criticized the competition system for being stupid.
But the rules that have been established will not be changed at this time.
Even if you have realized that something is wrong.
The lpl league still continues the previous rules.
GT started the first round with a score of 0:1.
It’s true that the pressure within the team is quite high.
Especially now that we can’t even find a team for training matches.
That's right, the fourth place is not very competitive in the training game, especially in two days, the playoffs will officially start. Time is tight and the task is heavy, those teams must look for a more cost-effective team, a team that can improve.
In this way, all of them were on WE and RNG.
Originally, GT and WE had the same boss, so they had regular training matches...
But now, Zhou Hao felt that losing 20 million was a huge loss, so he just found an excuse not to play the training match.
They want to reach the spring finals and cannot waste time.
Li Jiongjun was so angry that he couldn't help but eat two more bowls of rice at noon, turning his grief into appetite!
Two days passed quickly.
The first round of the playoffs officially begins!
There had been a lot of discussion before the game, and it was believed that since IG was leading by one game, there would be no suspense in this game.
Although the rookies are monsters, the intensity of the playoffs is far from comparable to that of the regular season.
Rookie is now also a mid laner who is expected to be ranked second and first, and his strength is very strong, although IG’s record has not been good in recent times.
But he successfully proved himself in competitions big and small.
Although he is a free mid laner when buying Kakao, he is very capable!
He also has a strong desire to win the game.
In the S5 World Finals, he was the only one who dissented from IG's four votes to surrender.
With so many people optimistic about it, it just proves what it means that the hottest stocks are doomed to fail.
In the first game, IG did not take the initiative to target the strong heroes of the version when GT chose the blue side.
And also released Syndra.
The meaning is very clear, which is to use Syndra to exchange for a stronger version.
GT didn't hesitate to lock on Syndra directly.
Cooperating with the unparalleled Lee Sin, IG's mid and jungle were turned upside down. At this moment, the kid remembered the fear of the training game some time ago.
Twenty-three minutes speed pass.
The two sides were tied at 1-1 after only one game, and the score was indeed a bit funny.
In the second game, rookie took out Leblanc to fight back, that’s right... the style of equipment was Hexagon Rifle and Lich.
He gave someone a taste of his own medicine.
Li Yi took out Carter with his backhand.
I told rookie directly that facing an assassin with real explosive damage, LeBlanc would still lose.
To make matters worse, the bottom lane was directly cleared.
The kid put all his focus on the middle lane. The gap between the two mid laners was not that big, but the jungler made a big mistake, which led to the middle lane being directly killed.
Both Carries collapsed, and IG only lasted three minutes longer than the previous game.
At this moment, Principal Wang, who was watching the game, frowned, because he knew that if he wanted to achieve good results, changing the jungler and AD was a matter of urgency.
Then he couldn't help but curse Abu.
If it weren't for this idiot's interference, Ah Shui would have been able to play in this year's spring season...
IG suffered two consecutive defeats, and their mentality was naturally greatly affected.
In the third game, rookie chose Tsar and patiently wanted to develop.
Li Yi took down the male knife with a backhand, and started a crazy roaming mode, killing from the middle to the top lane and then from the top to the bottom lane...
It took only fourteen minutes to achieve super god status.
When you meet someone, you use a set of small skills to fight anyone.
The male knife player's pace was so exaggerated that the third game didn't even last twenty minutes.
When all the GT members came to the IG battle seat and shook hands, rookie was still a little dazed, and then he realized that the game was lost.
"Oh my god, the performance of this male knife is too abnormal... Xiushen still has some heroes that he hasn't taken out! I feel EDG is going to have a headache now." Wawa's voice echoed throughout the entire scene.
"Yes!" Rita looked at GT bowing to the audience on the stage and couldn't stop smiling. She is a loyal fan of GT.
