S4 has not changed the format yet, with only the top 4 teams making the playoffs, followed by 4 to 2, and the team that wins the Summer Championship will qualify for the Worlds qualifiers.

That's right, it's just that the spot doesn't go straight to Worlds as the No. 1 seed.

Instead, the Spring champion will compete for the No. 1 seed in the LPL, and the losing side will compete with the Spring Runner-up, Summer Runner-up, and Summer Runner-up for the remaining two spots in the Worlds.

If the Spring and Summer champions are on the same team, there will be some changes to the qualifiers.

The winners and runners-up of the Spring Tournament were EDG and OMG, which have already qualified for the LPL World Qualifiers.

Regardless of whether they can make the playoffs this season, they will have a chance to play in the qualifiers, and even if EDG can win the summer tournament, they can directly become the No. 1 seed.

It was against this background that the 2nd round had a strong smell of gunpowder.

Plus the flaws of the royal family are already clear.

After the 1-1 draw with EDG, although they won two games, they were beaten to seven inches against OMG.

OMG's upper and middle two lanes are very strong, and the change of lanes can't avoid the problem of NCT's weak line, plus Xiao Chen's performance in that game is slightly abnormal.

After all, a person's condition can't always be kept at an excellent level, and it is far from enough to have a single firepower of a puppy.

In the end, both games were pushed off by OMG after more than 30 minutes.

This made many viewers who watched this game feel that the dominance of the royal family is gone.

Fortunately, the state of the game after that was adjusted back, and the second round ended with two consecutive wins.

In the end, the regular season record of the royal family was 11 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and they still retained their first place with 34 points.

They were followed by Team EDG, Team LGD, and Team OMG.

Therefore, the four teams that will enter the playoffs have also been determined.

It's really an eye-catcher.

The veteran Haoqiang WE team and the IG team did not get a place in the World Championship, but in the playoffs that the royal family and the old godfather, who were ranked fifth and sixth respectively in the spring season.

It can be seen that the reorganization of these two teams has been very successful.

However, WE and IG are not without a chance to participate in the qualifiers.

If EDG and OMG finish in the top three in the playoffs and qualify for the Summer Tournament again, they will be postponed two spots.

Then the WE team that finished fifth in the regular season will get a postponed qualifying spot.

IG's conditions are even more demanding, and EDG must win the summer championship OMG runner-up, in which case EDG will directly become the No. 1 seed due to the spring and summer double.

Once again, OMG has secured a qualifier spot, and IG, who finished third in the spring, will receive a postponed spot.

It's also possible, after all, this ranking gives these opportunities.

Playoffs Royalty vs OMG, EDG vs LGD, there are already theoretical possibilities.

The current playoffs are not Bo5, but Bo3.

I only play BO5 in the finals, and of course although it is BO3, the intensity of the game is still very high.

However, no matter which algorithm is used, the two old powerhouses, WE and IG, cannot get a place at the same time.

And the taste of looking at people's faces is very uncomfortable, if you want to blame it, you can blame your own lack of strength, and you can't hold the fate of the team in your hands.

From the above, we know that the rules of the LPL regarding the world qualifiers are very cumbersome, which is why it will definitely change as the number of teams increases.

Although the second round did not start well, the final result was good.

The Royals still made the playoffs in first place, and their efforts in the summer season were not in vain.

But against OMG, that's not good news.

After all, in the regular season, the only game that the royal family lost was the game against OMG, and from here we know that OMG has the strength to defeat the royal family, and in this round, the royal family must not take it lightly.

The 2014 LPL Summer Season has officially come to an end, and the spread will officially start on August 25th.

The opening game was royalty vs. OMG, which received a lot of attention.

First of all, this match is about the fate of four teams.

If the royal family defeats OMG, IG will completely declare that it will not participate in the World Championship, and vice versa, it will be WE, and the natural popularity will remain high.

Whether it's Baidu Tieba or Weibo forums, there are people everywhere talking about this game.

And during this time, the royal family has entered into intensive preparations.

Summer is all about the present, and you can't take it lightly at this time.

Otherwise, all the previous efforts will be in vain, and there will be no free time at all.

Because the opponent to face in the first round is OMG, although Xiao Chen has a good relationship with his eldest brother, it is impossible to play a training match together at this time, even if he plays, it doesn't matter after all, neither side will expose anything.

However, this has a great impact on the mentality of the players before the game.

The training match was originally to check and fill in the gaps, and if the mentality of being broken down would be terrible.

For the royal family, the best training opponent is WE.

First of all, WE is not weak, and secondly, it is not a playoff team.

And waiting for the final fate of the team, all the team members stick to the front line.

WE base.

"Did the royal family ask us for a training match?" Smiling at the two big red words on his computer screen, he shook his head and took off his headphones.

"Hmm." Zhou Ke replied absentmindedly, obviously his mind was not here.

"Do you really stop thinking about it?"

"I've made the biggest concessions, I know where my upline is, I'm so tired......" Smile shook his head.

The strawberry on the side also sighed.

"Isn't there still a chance?"

"That's why I said that waiting for the final fate, the royal family is strong now." Said with a smile.

"Think about it again." Zhou Ke really didn't want to retire like this, although there was still room for him to get a place in the World Championships.

But even if you can qualify for the qualifiers, you will definitely be able to defeat the royal family, OMG and EDG?

Saying this with a smile actually gave WE the top management some face, but everyone knows that WE will not be able to enter the World Championship again this year.

Now Smile's strength is still among the first-class players in China, and it is too difficult to find an AD to replace him.

The youth team doesn't have such a player yet.

Strawberry listened to the conversation between the coach and the smile, and also looked at the computer blankly.

What's the point of me staying in WE if the smiles are gone?

Then I thought of my former teammate Ruofeng, the wind team is now a winner in life, recording a rank from the comfort of his home, and his popularity is rising.

Then Taobao sells meat muffins, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a month......

Why don't I retire too?
