Chapter 259: Crisis
July 28th.
The penultimate week of the LCS Summer regular season has begun.
Time is running out for all LCS teams.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
First of all, the first game is a battle between the TL team and the OPT for a playoff spot.
The OPT team's performance in this summer season can only be described as mediocre.
After the introduction of the former S7 champion midlaner Crown, Brother Crown, this season, is also struggling on the verge of the playoffs.
So much so that some people say that the recruitment of reinforcements in the spring of North America this year is really a failure.
But of course, compared to their performance in the spring, OPT has improved a lot in the summer.
At least...... They are one place better than they were in the spring.
Now, they have the same points as Team Gold, and Team TL has been in their way this week.
Can you win?
Will Crown players burst out with a different energy and lead OPT out of the predicament?
The narrator said passionately.
And then......
In 33 minutes, the two sides fought to a head-to-head ratio of 13 to 15, and the economy was poor, and the difference was only less than 1,000 yuan.
Crown played 6/1/6 with Kuchi in this game.
He had tried his best, but he was still one step short.
Because of a wave of small dragon regiments and a wave of big dragon regiments' mistakes, OPT had an advantage thirty minutes ago, and even the economic difference once reached 5,000, but in the end, it was slowly buried little by little.
It can be seen that the OPT team has played very hard, and they also want to win very much, but TL is TL after all.
On this day, the TL team once again showed their resilience in front of the audience, telling everyone that there is only one illusion in North America.
The second game is C9 vs. FlyQuest.
C9 obviously didn't expect to be bitten by FlyQuest before the end, but seeing the lineup he played today, starting Deftly, it also understands.
This is obviously training the lineup, and besides, FlyQuest is not seen as a person.
Then it's not surprising to be slapped in the face by FlyQuest, after all, even if you already have a ticket to the playoffs, you can't treat us fish belly teams as people.
The battle of C9 can be said to be self-defeating.
In the third game, the golden giant faced 100T.
Today, Froggen, the world's No. 1 icebird player, also selected the Death Carol midlaner.
In this game, both sides also played the heroes to the extreme.
Especially the Golden Giants, they seem to have realized that they have a chance of winning only if they hide their mid-level units until the end.
So, when it was not surprising to see 100T that he chose a mid-laner card as his final choice, Froggen also offered his mid-laner Death Chanter.
All I can say is......
Froggen really has two hands when it comes to playing heroes like this. At least, in the early stage, he was definitely suppressing Qin Zhaoxue on the surface.
And in this one, because the points of this one are equally important to the golden giant, so, in terms of going on the road, it is also directly sacrificed to the black technology and the small cannon on the list.
Moreover, in order to snatch this point, they also banned the wild boar girl with the highest winning rate of amazing.
When all these things are done......
Other teams, also through this game, seem to see the weakness of the 100T.
This one, the Golden Giant used twelve points of sufficient preparation to make the 100T taste the bitterness for the first time in this season.
After the game, fans of other teams also said.
Defeating the 100T may not be as difficult as it seems.
It's just that the conditions are a bit harsh.
Step 1: Prepare your own black technology in the top and middle lanes.
Step 2: Ban the jungler that Amazing is good at.
Step 3: Wait for 100T to make a mistake.
And this one, because 100T didn't make any low-level mistakes, as a result, Froggen's Death Cart was killed twice by Qin Zhaoxue's card when he was on the side.
Moreover, in these two times, Qin Zhaoxue seemed to know that the golden giant's jungler was not nearby.
It is precisely these two single kills that completely revitalize the rhythm of 100T.
In terms of map resources, 100T is far ahead of the Golden Giant, and in the end, the Golden Giant is defeated by 100T.
But the fact that the 100T was suppressed by the Golden Giant in the early stage is still worth studying and learning from all other teams.
In the fourth match, TSM faced Echo Fox, and TSM won. In the fifth match, Clutch Gaming vs. Counter Logic Gaming, Counter Logic Gaming won.
It's Saturday's game.
And it was Sunday.
The main attraction should be the second and third matches.
In the second game, 100T vs. TSM.
Compared to the pressure of 100T from the Golden Giant the day before, TSM almost gave it for nothing in Sunday's game, why do you say that?
This is probably due to the fact that TSM's form has deteriorated since returning from the continental competition.
In this year's continental tournament, as we all know, the North American fiasco was defeated, except for the TL team, no other team won a single game, and after losing a streak in the continental competition, coupled with the fact that after coming back, losing a few more crucial games, TSM began to lose their way a little.
They don't know what it's like to win a game, and they don't know what kind of way they have to play, what lineup they have to use, and what style of play they have to play.
This is very similar to the 100T in this year's spring game, obviously there are players who are not bad at talent, but they play their own games.
Such a TSM, apparently, will not be an opponent of the 100T.
Therefore, it is not too much to say that it is given for nothing.
Of course, if it weren't for a wave of mistakes in the game, about ten minutes later, TSM would never have lost so quickly, after all, the foundation of the strong team is still there.
After winning this game, 100T also officially announced that it will become the No. 1 team in the North American Summer Season regular season points, and they will directly advance to the 2019 LCS Summer Playoffs semifinals, in addition, they also have the right to choose their opponents.
As for who they will face in the semi-finals......
I won't talk about this, because when the time comes, we will continue to see the situation.
After watching today's game, 100T fans are really relieved, after all, even if they play badly now, they are at least third and fourth.
So after today's game, some fans also posted on the reddit forum: "Thanks 100T, thank you Qzx!" It's been such a great season for us. ”
Well! Here in North America, there are a lot of fans like this talking.
Perhaps, this is the culture here, not in the LCK, or LPL, playing well, not showing at all, but it's not that there is no indication at all, if you don't play well, you should be sprayed, and the North American side seems to be better at encouraging.
In this case, it may be that he is a foreigner, so Qin Zhaoxue can't really understand the thoughts of the locals. But I feel that this is better than LCK and LPL.
Although, this may be a polite remark, because when the 100T plays poorly, maybe there is him among the people who spray the 100T.
But anyway......
When you get results, you can hear such a sentence, and my heart is still very useful.
And after this week's competition.
pr0lly also found a big problem with his team.
Yes! The match with GGS made him aware of the crisis.
