Chapter 254: The schedule is intensive, and the chivalrous dog fights!
The schedule for the League of Legends playoffs is announced as soon as the regular season ends.
The first is the eight-in-six match, which is played by the third in the West and the fourth in the East, followed by the third in the East and fourth in the West.
After the winner is determined by both sides, the second place in the opposing zone will be played.
After the winner is determined again, they will play against the first in the West and the first in the East.
After this match, it will be the much-anticipated Summer Playoffs Finals, and whoever can finish first in the Summer Tournament will directly qualify for the World Championship.
In S8, with only 3 places in the LPL, the qualifications for the S-level World Championship are:
Summer Champion: No. 1 seed
Spring + Summer 2nd team: No. 2 seed
Among the top 5 teams in the points, in addition to the two teams that have already qualified, the other 3 teams participate in the bubble tournament to compete for the No. 3 seed.
Judging from the current points and records, in addition to the points of Rng, you can properly take away a name, such as ig and RW who have the potential to win the championship, and the goal is to be the champion.
The bubble tournament competes for the third seed, edg, and JDG have the best chance of winning tickets to the S8 finals.
In a hurry, I took the incense pot and Xiaotian, and went to watch the playoffs in a threesome.
This is the matchup between the winner of the playoffs in the six-in-four, the TOP team and the IG team.
The winner will advance to the LPL semi-finals and face Rng.
In the end, the top team lost to IG with a record of 3-1.
On the other hand, edg and jdg dragged to the fifth place of bo5, relying on resilience, jdg still won the old strong team edg.
In the semifinals, he faced Rw, the first place in the Western Conference.
"Sure enough" After watching the game for a long time, Li Luo shrugged his shoulders, this result did not surprise him.
The weakening of Riot's ability to carry the bottom lane, which has the greatest impact on all teams in the lpl, is Rng with Uzi as the core.
Secondly, there is Rw with Ma Ge as the core.
As soon as JD.com finished the game, the handicap of ig and Rw immediately opened the odds of ig1.18 and Rw1.37.
The handicap of RNG and JD is, Rng 1.09 JD 1.25.
The current Jingdong, although the thigh Kanavi of later generations has not yet returned to its place, but it has been replaced by the not weak wild king clid.
The top lane zoom duke, the middle single toothpaste, the bottom lane loken, the auxiliary green hair.
The reason why the handicap looks better is also because of Brother Ma's personal ability, which is seriously weakened by the version? Brother Ma now? It's simply a copy of theshy in later generations, dare to catch and dare to die? In just one summer tournament, there were seven famous deaths.
And Rw's on the road? It's still the same team nerve knife.
You say Ah Guang can't stand up, he can also stand up to save the Lord at a critical moment? You think he can stand up, right? At the critical moment, Ah Guang went shopping inexplicably, and the 8,000 advantage could be defeated.
In this version of doing things around the top half? RW's shortcomings are infinitely magnified.
Because of the version? With one less carry point and one more crash point, if it weren't for the orphanage director doinb, under the leadership of Rng? Developed S9 in advance and his style of play in fpx? Using his own wandering, he lifted the team up, otherwise the first place in the West would not have been Rw's turn to sit.
As soon as the mobile phone rang, the schedules on both sides were officially released.
The opponent of the RNG semi-finals has also been officially confirmed.
Impressively? It's this dark horse Jingdong team.
....
September 9th, Chung Yeung Festival? Clear.
For many people, today is Saturday and Sunday? In addition, it is the Chung Yeung Festival, which is a rare leisure.
But for lol players who are interested in the game? Today, however, there is a semi-final clash not to be missed.
Rng vs Jdg。
What is the regular season of the 2018 LPL Summer Split? RW win rate is 69%? And JDG is 60%, of course, the overall level of the west is not as good as the east, but most of the RW players are old fritters, and they have more experience in the competition, so it seems that RW will be more stable and more confident, but in fact, JDG's strength should not be underestimated.
Zoom may be the biggest surprise that JDG and even LPL have gained in 2018, this person's top order highlights the word "stable", and Edg's BO5 Zoom uses 3 output heroes, the performance is very stable, and the tasks of pressing the line, support, and single belt are completed just right.
And the level of playing front-row tanks on Zoom is also quite high, with a 77.5% win rate in the summer Saiaoun, which is higher than the letme 75% of the natal sheep man.
Clid's Gank rhythm control should be in LPL T1 gear, and in this promoted game, the hard power of other teams is not good, and it cannot effectively reflect the efficiency of clid.
On the other hand, in the five big battles with edg, Clid basically guessed the general trend of Casa correctly, especially the 2nd and 4th rounds of anti-squatting made EDG suffer, even if it was a small game of loss, it was also the general direction to figure out, but the details were not done well, resulting in a break.
Moreover, JDG is the only team in the LPL that has not yet used a substitute and has played the entire summer tournament with 5 players.
Steady on the road, engine jungler, assassin mid laner, explosive AD, brain assist. And the strength of the 5 people is very average, and if you win the game, you can almost give any MVP, this description is not very familiar.
Those who have watched the ancient version of the game will recognize at a glance that this team is completely a copy of the S4 champion at the time, Samsung White.
After the S4 champion coach of that year, homme came to jdg, he completely brought his own cognition and understanding to this team.
The battle between the old strong team and the emerging dark horse can always attract the attention of many people.
But the result was both unexpected and expected by everyone.
With a clean 3-0, JD.com fell into Rng's hands without any way to fight back.
In professional competitions, you only look at success or failure and honor, and you will never be awarded the championship trophy because of how hard you work and how many fans you have.
"RNG's state today is really unexpected."
Colonel Guan, who is in charge of today's commentary, commented:
"It feels like they've come out of the slump at the beginning of the regular season, and they've gradually perfected their tactics and found their own new style of play."
"Yes"
Remember the teacher nodded:
"Whoever I go first, after watching today's game, will know that the dominance of this Rng team in the spring game is back! Especially the third one won the game neatly, which undoubtedly shows that Rng has become a mountain of lpl again."
"Whether IG wins the next game or RW wins, what they have to face is a gap that cannot be crossed"
The return of RNG dominance has made all LPL teams a little helpless.
With such a team here, LPL is not worried about going to the World Championship without a card, but the league championship has become no less difficult than winning the S championship.
As the most complete esports market in the world for League of Legends, with the largest number of game users and the largest number of viewers, even commercialization is the fastest and best market in Riot's strategy.
Riot attaches great importance to the LPL market, and naturally, Riot designers are also watching this game.
But now, everyone's heart is a little cold.
Rng, which was raging on the field in the first half of the year, dominated the spring game for nineteen consecutive wins, and finally weakened to the level of an ordinary strong team, but now Rng, which is extremely troublesome, is back?
Uzi or that Uzi?
Rng or that Rng?
Changing the version?
For example, weakening all the ADCs again, strengthening the assassins one by one, and even arranging some other mechanisms to go down?
"No, we've already announced that version 8.19 is the Worlds version"
In order to target a professional team, it is not only a slap in the face, but also an injustice to Rng.
If it causes public outrage among all the teams, it will not be good if the gains outweigh the losses.
"Forget it, forget it, it looks like this is the only way to do it this year"
In the end, it was Riot boss Jace who discussed it with Tedamir and spoke:
"We've all done it to this extent, we've done too much, if the other teams can't beat Rng to win the championship, we can only blame them for their lack of strength, we are the designers of the game, not the controller of the victory"
"The world champion should belong to the strongest team, not the "strongest" as we think!"
As he spoke, Tedamir stood up and stared sharply at all the designers.
The second consecutive championship fist is still acceptable, if S8 is the third consecutive championship of Rng, then the fist will definitely not be so easy to put Rng to pass.
Following.
The semi-finals of IG Vs RW opened.
Rw's brilliant performance in the spring game has accumulated a lot of popularity for this team, and it was even known as the "Galaxy Battleship" before the S8 spring game.
During the sluggish state of the RW Spring Tournament, many fans who were hopeful about the Galaxy Battleship almost sprayed this team to death on Tieba, Weibo, forums and other places.
But with the second rise of Rng in the summer season, Rw also looked good, followed Rng to drink soup, and won the first place in the west.
If you just look at the player configuration, the lineup of IG and RW can indeed be regarded as a strong dialogue.
In Li Luo's opinion, even before he crossed over, the Rng at that time was estimated to be very difficult to win against these two teams in the current version, and it is very likely that bo5 is full, which team is in good shape and which team wins.
It is common sense that the upper limit of the strength of a multi-core system is much higher than that of a single-core system.
In the semi-finals, Rw and ig also showed amazing strength, the first Rw was caught off guard by ig, and in less than 20 minutes, it was beaten with an economic advantage of 6800, and under some pulling, ig easily won the first game of BO5.
But the second one, Rw's black technology is coming, Kree mid single with the dragon turtle of the jungler haro, in the case of continuous military training on the road, the situation on both sides has flipped again, Rw also won the big dragon in the 20-minute time period, with an economic advantage of more than 6,000, and won the second game.
The anxiety of the two teams is something that many people did not guess before the game, and compared with pulling each other, this kind of sturdy dry frame is even much higher than Rng in terms of game spectacle.
In the third game, it was still Doinb and Haro's commotion, and Brother Coin directly took out a hand of Pan Sen (old version) midlaner, not only in the line play, but also in the field support and to go to the bottom of the road support, but also played a big advantage.
But in the middle of the term, relying on the play of the shy, IG once had to turn the disadvantage back, but unfortunately, because of a wave of Ning Wang and Baolan's rash advance, the first two heads were sent, and the three IG also forcibly took over the group, and one group was wiped out, and the third one was sent.
RW won the match point game first, and the strength surprised many people who were optimistic about IG before the game.
In the fourth set, under the pressure of the match point, not only did Ning Wang's mentality explode and repeatedly operate and deform, but Theshy, who was on the road, was also caught by Haro in two waves for the sake of greed.
Without theshy, Rookie can't play his strong laning strength in this version because it's Doinb, and he has no choice but to do so.
RW3:1 advanced to the final.
This time, the 2018 Summer Playoffs will be played by Rng against Rw for the championship.
"Come on, come on, fortunately it's different from Spring Due, this time it's a chivalrous dog battle!"
"Don't blow it, don't blow it, the tactics of these two teams are too similar, they are both high-speed support in the early and middle stages, and they don't care about the map resources, so lively!"
"Rw is so fierce, and Rng is on the front, I can't guess which side will win."
"Margo's Most Promising Year (Funny .jpg)"
"Rely on, I can't wait, when will the finals start?"
For the audience fans, this kind of strong matchup is the most expected.
The players of the two teams, RNG and RW, have conquered these people by their own strength.
Moreover, as long as Rw can win the summer finals, he will enter the S8 World Championship as the first seed in the LPL.
Similarly, RNG will represent the LPL as the second seed with the highest points in the spring and summer.
In this case, the IG team will go down to play bubble matches with other teams, and there is a lot of suspense.
In this case, RNG fans, knowing that their team is sure to enter the World Championship, are also quite looking forward to a wonderful and exciting game in the Grand Finals, preferably with a full five rounds.
"Speaking of which, since S8, Rng doesn't seem to have dragged this kind of game to the fifth game of bo5, right?"
", it's really true that you say that, the spring finals, the MSI finals, and the Asian Games finals are all clean and neat 3-0."
"Rw can hit the current Rng to bo5? It's funny, Rng is going to become the second team to win a second consecutive championship after Skt."
"I'm afraid it's not Rng going to fake a wave, when the time comes, let Rw go to the World Championship, ig go down to play the bubble game, and then ig will be taken by edg in the overturn, and I announce that the ig spring game 17 wins can't enter the World Championship..."
"I'm convinced, you H miscellaneous can really blow, this world championship has not yet been played? Why don't you just stop fighting and continue to award Rng? ”
"Sending horses against the wind?"
On days when there was no competition, netizens could only entertain themselves, posting and discussing various topics, various rhythms, scolding battles, and flags, leaving a lot of material.
There is only a five-day break between the semi-finals and the finals, with the final taking place on September 14.
Compared with the preparation period of eight into six and six in the first half of the playoffs, this period of time is relatively short.
And rightfully so.
The game on the LCK's side has ended, and the finals version has also been released, if the LPL side is still playing the last version of the long game, first, it is not conducive to the team being familiar with the finals version, and second, it will inevitably expose the team's hidden moves.
No matter what the angle, the final needs to be played as soon as possible.
This year's finals will be held at the Nanjing Youth Olympic Sports Park Gymnasium.
Located in Pukou District, Nanjing, the venue is the only newly built venue for the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games, with a total land area of about 1.01 million square meters, of which the stadium has 21,000 seats, which is one of the few venues qualified to host NBA basketball games and the largest stadium in Asia.
