Chapter 140: Journey, Set Sail!
The iG coaching staff is fully committed to preparing for the playoffs.
Although the regular season is not over yet, and iG will face off against Team King in the coming week, no one has put in even the slightest bit of energy.
Speaking of which, the rules for this year's Playoffs and Worlds Spot Tournament are a bit of a surprise!
Especially in the selection tournament, the champion of the summer playoffs may not necessarily be able to go straight to S5, can you believe it?
For example, if QG or iG wins the Summer Playoffs and EDG wins the runner-up. Then it will be the EDG team that will go straight to the S competition, and the QG team or the iG team will have to play the selection tournament as the summer champion.
According to the official rules, the first place in the total playoff points of the Spring Race and the Summer Season will go straight to the S Race (the 1st~4th place in the Spring Playoffs will be 300, 200, 100, and 80 points respectively.) 5~8 people are 50 points. The 1st~4th place in the summer playoffs is 450, 300, 150, and 100 points. 5~8 places are 60 points. The LSPL Spring Championship champion and runner-up were 30 and 20 points respectively. The LPL Qualifier is worth 10 points. ), the total points of 2~5 opponents to fight, to determine the other two S competition places.
As for the playoff rules, they have also been revised and are completely different from the playoffs in the spring.
In the spring, the LPL follows the NBA playoff system, with the top eight entering the playoffs, with the first place playing the eighth place, the second place playing the seventh place, and so on.
As a result, this led to some teams controlling the rankings and picking opponents, and Oscar Night was born. The appearance of Wei Shen beating his chest against the Demon Drinking Knife was still unforgettable in his previous life, even in S9.
In order to ensure fair play in the regular season, officials immediately began to adjust the playoff rules to avoid such a situation.
The first stage of the bubble tournament (knockout): seven or eight places in the regular season determine the winner, and then face off against the sixth place.
Bubble Stage 2 (Positional Match): The fifth place in the regular season will play against the previous round of promotion, the winner will go to the fourth place in the regular season, and the loser will play the third place in the regular season.
Bubble Stage 3 (Semi-Finals): The first and second places in the regular season advance directly to the semi-finals. Together with the two teams that advanced in the previous round, they formed the semi-finals. At this time, the rules change again! The four teams will be ranked based on regular season points, with first place against fourth place and second place against third place.
In the end, the winner will determine the champion and runner-up, and the loser will determine the third place.
Messy or not? How can it not be messy!
It's regular season points and playoff points again, and ordinary viewers are tingling at a glance. It's hard to be official, in order to target the Oscars, it can be said that they are racking their brains!
But for the iG coaching staff, it's a little easier.
Directly advancing to the second stage of the bubble competition, the only teams to focus on are LGD, which fell to fifth in the regular season, and Snake, who is currently in fourth place. Then prepare for the tryouts and you're done!
After all, EDG's domination of the league has really made the major teams a little numb, and they have basically defaulted to EDG's direct promotion to the World Championship with the first total points.
It's not that mafa doesn't have the confidence to beat EDG, but what if he wins EDG and wins the championship? As long as they are the runners-up, they will still be the first in the overall points, and then they will still have to roll out of the ground to play the tryouts.
emmm, that's a bit embarrassing......
The penultimate round of the S5 Summer Season regular season is also the last round of bo2 for iG. After this game, iG will officially end its regular season journey.
The King team is no longer the stunned young team that was promoted from the lspl in the spring game, and the club owners have played with their hands to lay eggs, and the current King team lineup is the original team of the royal family. The incense pot and the little tiger were transferred to RNG.
However, this did not prevent the decline of the old royal family, since the departure of Uzi, the two Korean aids, Insec and Zero, could not support the team, and they fell into the relegation game again.
This round of BO2 can be said to be the easiest matchup Jiang Miao has played since entering the professional arena. After insec made a mistake in self-light cultivation and broke his leg, the blind monk of the natal hero seems to have also been affected. Well, the blind man and the lame man can be described as a true portrayal of the summer game.
The original state strength began to decline, coupled with the daily suppression of the middle and upper lanes, which further affected the wild area. Combined, Insec struggled in the summer, and eventually had to turn to the road, but it still struggled to perform.
Zero is still powerful, but he is not assisting uzi, but the "world's No. 1 AD" who was poisoned by Riot officials in S4: the victim of the beef noodle generation, Namei.
Such a combination of the bottom lane can only be said to be decent, and the output task can be completed when it is advantageous, but it cannot stand up when it is disadvantaged. In other words, they can't be the point that creates an advantage, they don't have the ability to break the game.
As a result, Jiang Miao and rookie each won an MVP and easily won the King team with a 2-0 record, and iG's regular season journey came to an end.
And after the final week of the schedule, the LPL Summer Regular Season ranking is frozen!
First place: EDG team, the phantom god is still the same.
Second place: promoted horse QG team, dark horse nature.
3rd place iG, 4th place snake, 5th place LGD, 6th place VG, 7th place OMG, 8th place M3.
These eight teams will compete in the playoffs and compete for a spot in the World Championship.
The four teams including WE, RNG, King and Up will compete in the relegation and relegation tournament to continue to retain their LPL seats.
Time flies, and just as the teams are busy adjusting to the new release, the playoffs are already on the horizon.
On August 11, 2015, the first round of the bubble game: OMG, the dark forces that finished seventh in the regular season, will join M3 in the big battle!
"Come on, puppy! Listen to Brother Kai, don't go up like you used to! Put away your stinky temper and fight hard! Although OMG's journey to the playoffs was too difficult and needed to be played from the first round of bubble matches to the end to hope for the World Championship, this did not prevent Ashimoto from having great confidence in it.
Not only Ashimoto wilts, but also fans of OMG and puppies, including major commentators, are looking forward to this!
After a summer of disturbing palace fighting dramas, when faced with the call of the playoffs and the worlds, it seems that everyone at OMG has finally put aside their contradictions and chose to work together!
Gogoing, the eldest brother returned in silence.
Nakano's elixir plus statelessness is also like "grace and righteousness" passing away with the wind!
The puppy is gearing up, and the umbrella emperor is transferred from AD to the support position as a mediator for the team atmosphere.
Many people are saying that the dark forces are going to recover, and the galactic warship will set sail again.
The first round of the matchup against M3 is the starting point for them to regain their confidence and regain their form!
The M3 team on the other side is also full of ambition!
The return of the Emperor has excited all of M3, and looper's stability is their backbone. Not only that, but the M3 coaching staff finally got the roster up in time for the playoffs.
In the jungler position, Mr. Jiu Yikang appeared. AD position, Gao Leng emperor-style bar flower sat on the starter, and officially combined with lovecd to make his debut as the first appearance of e-sports!
Freedom to resist pressure bar, published a high argument but was ridiculed "You can do it, you go", and then Sima Lao Thief, who threw himself into the professional arena without hesitation, ushered in his first playoff journey.
"Welcome to the 2015 Summer Playoffs, Bubble Round 1!"
In the host's loud voice, the players on both sides were in place, and the battle was about to start.
In the first game of BO5, when the puppy took out VN without hesitation, the atmosphere of the entire stadium was instantly detonated, and countless audiences cheered!
Even Jiang Miao, who watched the game through the live broadcast platform in the club, couldn't help but feel excited.
The player's natal hero, the player's faith hero!
Just as the factory director took out Evelyn, Faker showed the enchantress, and Yue Lun chose to rob the ......
Changing lines at the beginning, OMG is extremely determined to protect uzi's development while suppressing looper!
And in the sixth minute, the elixir's spider suddenly bloomed with killing intent and tried to cross the tower to kill the looper. Seeing this, Condi quickly rushed to help. Unexpectedly, he was taken first by uzi's E skill and nailed directly to the wall.
In an instant, Gogoing's Rambo TP arrived. OMG four-pack two-strong kill M3 Ueno.
The perfect starter, the perfect rotation anti-tower, the perfect economic distribution of heads!
OMG didn't lose a single person, killing both looper and condi. At the same time, the two heads were all taken down by the puppy, and VN ushered in a Tianxiu start.
In this regard, M3 has never put down its resistance and has leveled the situation several times. But the stateless desert emperor is getting better and better with the passage of time! As the current T1-level mid-laner, no one knows how terrifying a developed desert emperor is.
At 49 minutes, OMG finally ended the game after a wave of 0-for-4 perfect team battles and won the first game of bo5.
"Hunter, what do you think?" Mafa asked, turning his head.
"The state of the eldest brother is declining very seriously, and the strength of the stateless and the puppy is still there. But it's very impatient to play, and many times the kind that has no goal at all is purely playing on its own. Jiang Miao shook her head, "If this is the case in the future, I am not optimistic that OMG can go further!" ”
"Even if they win M3, they won't be able to pass the VG level. Mata's command is simply the nemesis of this scattered team! ”
In the course of the first game, the stateless was single-killed by Dade, and the old thief double-killed Uzi and Xiao Umbrella in the lower lane. It was hard for Jiang Miao to imagine why OMG made such a big mistake and gave away the opening advantage backhand.
The whole team seemed to have lost its backbone, and missed many snowball rhythm points in vain, which allowed the game to drag on to 49 minutes!
On the other hand, the M3 is also a little stunned.
Sure that VN is inferior to the line in the early stage, that is, it is not banned, and the tsar does not target it.
But this is UZI's VN! vn with iD bonus!
God knows how much depression Uzi held back, and it all exploded at this moment. In the second game, he got VN again, and Uzi directly turned on the boosting mode. 6-0-6, paired with a stateless 6-1-7 Tsar, the match ended before the 30 minutes.
In the third game, M3 finally remembered to ban vn, but it was too late!
The puppy who hit the hand felt took out the policewoman, and the carry was still the same. The stateless Victor was also unwilling, and the AOE output was full. In the face of M3, which lost two cities in a row, OMG had no effort, and the opponent directly opened the vote to surrender at the 23rd minute.
"Congratulations, O~M~G!!"
The host was shouting, and the OMG fans and puppy fans at the scene were all cheering.
OMG's 3-0 record convinced everyone of the fact that the "Galaxy Battleship" was back on sail, and many fans even put up the slogan "Black Seven Miracles" on the forum.
However, in the next showdown against VG, Jiang Miao's prophecy came true......
mata's cunning and cunning make this OMG team with little cooperation and unclear tactical play revealed!
The Galaxy Battleship, which had set sail again, ran aground and anchored......
After the game, the puppy's gloomy look touched the hearts of countless fans, and the back of the big brother gogoing's departure announced the farewell of the "light of the top order".
"1-3 defeat to VG, OMG bids farewell to S5"
The team that once sang "Light of the Planet", overturned SKT in the group stage, overturned Fnc with 50 drops of blood, and defeated Baidun 3-0, which made Xiaoxiao shout out "The little umbrella is crazy output under the crotch of the big brother!" OMG won one game and I blew it for a month, won two games and I blew it for a year, and I won the white shield and I blew it for a lifetime", in the previous life, it was from this moment that I entered a long and hopeless trough period.
Will this life change?
Jiang Miao didn't know that all Jiang Miao could do was to work hard to keep herself bright!
......
LGD is thanks to VG, this talented team, but because of the loose (musical) comic (viewing) personality caused by the ups and downs of the state is in this battle to gradually regain the state and confidence.
In this matchup, everyone in iG gathered in the conference room to watch together, because the loser between them was the opponent of iG's next bo5!
"Hiss~"
"LGD is a bit fierce!"
The child god exclaimed in surprise, and it was a bit too brutal to beat the opponent to the polling place and surrender in only 22 minutes in the first game.
However, this is a reflection of Mata's old ways, seeing that the first game was irretrievable, he immediately launched a surrender. Try to make sure that confidence doesn't crumble and regroup for the next game.
Sure enough, VG's tactical execution in this game was extremely resolute, and LGD, who won the first game easily and gradually began to be optimistic, was soon dragged into a quagmire rhythm. After 40 minutes, VG equalized 1-1.
It was from here that LGD woke up and broke out! Completely exchange their talents for combat effectiveness and show them in front of the eyes of the world.
In the third game, the battle ended in 23 minutes.
In the fourth game, that is, the match point game, it was played until the beginning of the 20th minute, and the desperate Mata surrendered again!
The Snake manager was in a tingling scalp because it was they who were going to face this optimistic team next.
No, they are the only ones who are optimistic.
We're not optimistic at all!
Zuo Wu's mentality collapsed......
“OK! Our opponents are out! ”
Mafa clapped his hands and let everyone's eyes gather,
"We have two more days to go, and in two days, we will officially start our playoff journey!"
"It's true that VG are quite strong, they have FMVP champion support mata, and champion jungler dandy! But Kakao, you can rest assured, because this champion jungler has switched to the road, and he will be beaten by our Ah Shui! ”
Raising his head, his tone became more and more high-pitched,
"LGD can easily beat them 3-1! What about us? ”
"I don't think we're weaker than LGD, we're only stronger than LGD!"
"Boys, it's time to flex our muscles!"
"The day after tomorrow, kill VG!"
