Chapter 232: The last round of the regular season! The focus of the battle!
The regular season schedule for the spring season is not that long, especially since the Spring Festival has compressed a lot of the schedule.
This means that we are now entering the second round of competition in the same group, and there is only half a month left...
This means the playoffs will start on April 12th.
Therefore, the audience had a very comfortable time during this period, and every day was a super exciting game.
Especially in the East, the competition between RNG and iG for the second place is extremely fierce, and has reached a fever pitch.
The reason is very simple. Whoever gets third place will be in the same group with GT in the playoffs, and there is no confidence that they can make a breakthrough in the semi-finals.
If the second place is assigned to another group, EDG will be the soft persimmon, or I prefer to pick on the soft persimmons in the West...
Although EDG fans may not like this, it is the fact.
EDG has come to an end, and along with it the ancient powerhouse WE.
This time, everyone realized once again how important it is to have a top coach.
As soon as Hongmi left, the lineup system that WE selected was in chaos every time.
The team hasn't even gotten a positive result yet, and is ranked fifth in the Western Conference. It's a bit difficult to even get a place in the playoffs.
This is something that many of the six billionaires did not expect.
It can be seen that last year...the impact of not getting the third seed was a bit too great.
The team was originally full of momentum, but it just collapsed this year. What’s even more painful is the departure of Redmi.
In fact, this was something Zhou Hao had not expected.
In his opinion, this incompetent coach couldn't even discover Li Yi's potential. If he had discovered it in the training match and transferred him to the first team, wouldn't they have successfully won the global finals championship?
As WE's popularity skyrocketed, he was also able to make a lot of money.
In the end, all of them were done for He Youjun!
Naturally, all of this was blamed on Redmi.
Originally, Redmi's contract was due to expire after the spring season, but it ended abruptly ahead of schedule.
Originally, he thought that Redmi should return to the LCK region in disgrace.
Unexpectedly, JD.com took direct action.
What Zhou Hao could not have expected was that JD.com’s performance in the East was now better than theirs.
According to the current situation, they can still qualify for the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.
Being able to qualify in such a high-intensity competition... is like a slap in his face. Didn't he say that Redmi is not good enough? However, young players like JD.com are growing incredibly fast under his coaching.
This is not the most uncomfortable thing. The most uncomfortable thing is stepping on WE’s head!
In the previous match in the opposite group, JD swept them 2-0.
Under such circumstances, all WE fans are naturally very angry.
It has been a long time since Xi'an's home stadium was full.
The scene he imagined of making a lot of money at Xi'an's home stadium did not happen.
It’s another blood loss situation!
Of course, this was not the worst. What made him lose his temper was GT's home game in Shenzhen...
The choice was Shenzhen Bay Sports Center.
The stadium can accommodate 10,000 people!
The fact that this place can be used as the home ground is not only due to He Youjun's mobilization of a large amount of manpower and material resources, but also has a lot to do with GT winning the global finals championship.
Basically everyone has accepted that GT's current trio will be members of the Chinese League of Legends national team.
He Youjun also took advantage of this opportunity to successfully take over this place and make it GT's home ground.
Besides convenient transportation, the venue also has very good sound effects.
It's really an immersive game experience.
This is why many celebrities like to hold concerts here.
And the gymnasium assigned by GT during this period.
Although not every match was sold out, the number of people was around 7,000 to 8,000.
If you calculate it this way, the ticket sales are really making a lot of money.
He Youjun has indeed been in high spirits during this period.
It's perfect. It really proves the saying that when some people are frustrated, others are happy.
The fans who came to watch the game were also very satisfied.
GT did not disappoint them at all. They won three consecutive games in the same group in the new venue, extending their winning streak to sixteen consecutive wins.
There are only three games left to win the game.
The tough opponents in these three games are iG and RNG...
All I can say is that the authorities will indeed arrange the competition.
All the exciting parts were arranged in the second half. This battle for points was full of pressure for both the top teams and the teams on the edge of promotion.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with GT winning the global finals championship last year.
With more attention, it will also be good for the contestants.
Naturally, I really want to achieve better results.
……
March 30th.
iG vs. RNG!
This game is of great significance to both teams.
Whoever wins will be able to secure the second place in the Eastern Conference. If they lose, they will have to fight hard with GT! They need to win a game in the regular season, otherwise they will only be the second in the group.
Under this circumstance, the game was a real one of using all means, and both sides were extremely cautious.
Even uzi didn't dare to take risks in this game.
Because everyone knows the importance of the competition and being as successful as possible.
Avoid big demons like GT.
So the first game lasted for 41 minutes!
But at this time the head count was still six to four, and the economic gap between the two sides remained at one thousand.
From this perspective, the bloodiness is indeed not very high, but the audience really enjoys it.
If anyone's decision is problematic, that side will explode.
And at this time, rookie stood up!
He was now far away from the wall in the middle. Song Yijin, who was far away from the wall, controlled the Tsar in his hand and made a move that made the barrage explode and the whole audience cheer...
Drift and then use the ultimate skill to push RNG's double C back!
Although he was killed later, two RNG players were killed directly here.
So if this is the case, iG still makes a profit.
A Shui seized this opportunity and stood up to attack crazily.
Successfully won the team battle in the middle lane.
Now he didn’t even take the Baron and went straight to the RNG base!
GT Base.
Miller's excited voice was heard from the big screen.
"Rookie's super beautiful ultimate made Xiaogou completely unable to react, pushing the double carries back and helping the team win the game."
"It was very exciting. Jack didn't miss the chance to harvest and finished first and last. It can be seen that both sides have a sense of determination to win today's game."
"This game is important...it affects the playoff grouping. iG is also in a strong momentum and has already won nine games in a row."
The overall strength of the Eastern Conference is indeed much stronger than that of the Western Conference.
Basically, they have all had big winning streaks, and often five or six consecutive wins.
It is not difficult to see how fierce the competition for playoff spots is.
In fact, seeing the names of the three teams GT, RNG, and iG, others have already set their sights on fourth place.
JD.com is now ranked fourth...
The Rogue Warriors are still two wins behind JD.com, and their chances of advancing are still slim. As for why this happened, it was mainly because Doinb was taught a lesson by Li Yi twice in a row. Now his heart is broken and his condition has declined dramatically.
Even when facing the King of Dharma, he does not have much advantage.
He was directly scolded by Sima Laozei's fans.
What is the emperor of LCK? Regular season MVP?
The food was outrageous.
The current situation of the Rogue Warriors has nothing to do with this game.
No matter which side wins, it won't change the fact that his hopes of advancing are slim.
But it has a closer relationship with JD.com.
JD.com ranks fourth and will compete with the second place and the first and third place in the Western Conference.
In this case, who is the second place also affects the subsequent tactical arrangements.
Redmi is the type of company that plans its tactics based on who its opponent is.
But the effect against GT is not very good.
The laning scene did not play out at all as he had imagined.
……
"Rookie is so strong." Cheng Lu nodded continuously.
"It's really amazing. iG has been strengthened a lot this year, especially the bottom lane. A Shui's various statistics are all ranked high in the bottom lane." Liu Qingsong also pays close attention to the players in the bottom lane, so he is quite familiar with the various statistics of A Shui, who just joined this year and has performed very well.
"A little better than Lin Weixiang."
"How can this be better than me?" Lin Weixiang was not convinced after hearing this and stood up to refute.
"Last time we played, our bottom lane might have been destroyed by the opponent. If it weren't for Brother Yi's strength, we might have been defeated."
"iG has a great chance of winning today."
"It's hard to say. It depends on the condition of both teams in the first game. They are still on par with each other. Rookie is indeed good at seizing opportunities, but there won't be such a good opportunity in the next game." Li Jiongjun said.
The others nodded after hearing this.
There is nothing wrong with this. After all, the formation speed of the bottom lane has slowed down a lot, and the poor condition of Xiaohu in the middle lane will put more pressure on the bottom lane.
For top teams, the mid lane really determines the direction of the game.
Especially today's game perfectly demonstrated this.
But RNG is definitely not a pushover.
The tactics of the second game changed directly. Since the middle lane could not carry the heavy load, then there was no need to do so.
Directly helped Xiaohu get Sion.
The purpose of building Banner of Command is to destroy Rookie in the middle lane.
There is no way he can match the Banner of Command with the hero Syndra.
Then it can only be handed over to the jungler. The kid here is quite smart. He knows that the pressure in the middle lane is very high. He doesn't even plan to upgrade the jungle knife and goes straight for the Banner of Command.
The sooner he does it, the less pressure there will be in the middle.
Anyway, the slower the speed of a Pig Girl clearing the jungle is, the better.
This response is pretty good.
But Karsa can rely on this point to successfully take a big lead, and the chain reaction is to help the bottom lane establish a huge advantage.
In the second game, Xiao Gou finally realized that he was feeling bad, and he started killing people like crazy, getting seven kills in 25 minutes!
Compared to the first game, they played a pretty beautiful crushing game, relying on the advantage of the bottom lane to easily win back a game, and the two sides ended up in a 1-1 tie.
A pure crushing victory...
The smiles on the faces of IG fans disappeared immediately.
However, the smiles will not disappear, they will just be transferred, and they have successfully transferred to the faces of RNG fans.
The third game started again in this tense and exciting atmosphere.
RNG did give up its previous fancy tactics.
Surround yourself with a core, protect the bottom lane, and focus on the bottom lane.
The four-protect-one strategy is looked down upon by everyone, but it is indeed their magic weapon for winning.
Isn't that what League of Legends is all about? No matter what the tactics are, as long as you can win, it's all about winning.
Just like the games in ancient times, because the DJ-playing boy Zzitai was too terrifying, WE was able to develop a double line in the middle lane, and the effect was very good. They always crushed IG and gave iG fans the nickname of "dog son".
As well as the double jungle system, in order to target the double jungle, you must bring punishment when buying a jungle knife later.
This is why the double junglers disappeared, otherwise there would be such a perverted way of playing.
However, this approach actually suppresses the flourishing system research and tends to be more stereotyped.
The middle lane is the middle lane, don't do anything fancy.
GT's jungler system has also been greatly affected.
After the World Finals, there was no response. The two fists used in the regular season reacted quickly and made an economic penalty mechanism at the first time. It was a very serious economic penalty. As long as the jungler eats too many soldiers on the line, the economic penalty will continue to decrease, and even drop to one dollar!
For many players, they can no longer play the game before they even have the chance to experience the joy of playing as a jungler, especially those who wanted to gain points by hugging the jungler... they have lost a good way.
Everyone thought that the third game would be a fierce battle and that they would play very cautiously like the first game, but in the end, it seemed like they completely let go in the third game.
Twenty kills in twenty minutes! It was a fight from beginning to end.
The final move that determines victory or defeat is still the position of the dragon pit.
A Shui was pulled by Uzi's Ashe for two consecutive steps, which directly numbed him. He was suddenly stunned by a big move that followed. Xiao Gou cooperated with his teammates to successfully kill A Shui.
The audience at the scene shouted excitedly.
Even the audience in the live broadcast room could hear it clearly.
"Ashui is still too young."
"He is indeed younger." Li Yi shook his head as he watched this scene. He did not expect that Brother Shuizi would still be shown off by the puppy.
RNG successfully won this crucial battle.
Let's catch up with two!
The fans finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If we can’t beat GT, can we beat IG?
They are quite satisfied with their current performance. They are ranked second in the group and will advance to the spring finals. Then they will look for GT's venue!
……
April 1st.
GT will face Suning at home.
Naturally, it was a double kill without any suspense.
In fact, no one can shake the first place in the league.
Even though he lost the next two games, his final score was 17-2 and he continued to lead.
April 7th.
Battle against RNG...
RNG did not feel that much pressure after winning against IG, not to mention that they played at 120% of their combat effectiveness.
But this combat power is still useless in front of GT in full condition.
GT staged another blitzkrieg!
The two games only took an hour!
All the RNG members were made to laugh once again.
But this also gave IG a chance to catch up.
April 10th.
GT's last regular season game continues at home in Shenzhen against IG!
"Welcome to the third round of the twelfth week of the LPL Spring Season! I am the host Ling'er..."
