There's no time for them to savor the aftermath of a long-awaited victory, because the playoffs are just around the corner.

The promotions for Groups A and B are as follows:

Group A: EDG, SSR, GT, IG.

Group B: RNG, WE, Snake, VG.

The remaining four teams, Newbee, SAT, LGD, and OMG, will participate in the relegation and relegation tournament.

Soon, the schedule for the playoffs and relegation matches was all out.

In the first round, the eight-in-six knockout round, BO5, was divided into two sides: GT vs. VG, and Snake vs. IG.

The winners on both sides go directly to the next round of the knockout round, with simple and crude rules.

The SSR team, on the other hand, will face the winner between Snake and IG.

The day before the game, a few people had dinner and had a discussion.

"Who do you think we're going to hit in the end?" Hao Ren asked everyone.

Han Xin said: "Snake, the Snake team is obviously in better shape than IG, and has been winning recently, while IG has lost more recently. ”

Xiang Yuxuan said: "There is also a gap in strength, and the snake team as a whole is stronger than IG. ”

It can also be seen from the group stage points that the Snakes' record is 9-7, while IG's record is 6-10, and the gap is still obvious.

In the 16 years of IG, the results are really poor, whether it is the individual strength of the players or the cooperation of the whole team, there is a gap with the teams in front of the LPL.

"I'd rather play IG."

Qin Tianyu said: "I am confident that I can crush them in the lower lane of IG, but the lower lane of Snake is ...... It's hard to say, I don't know if it's Krystal or Martin. ”

Han Xin said: "Didn't you say that Brother Crystal's hand was injured? Lately, they seem to have all been on the team, Martin. ”

Lin Han told him: "It looks like he's back, and he should play in the playoffs." ”

Qin Tianyu said: "The last time I fought with their team outside the group, it was Martin, and I haven't fought against Krystal yet...... The rhythm plus Krystal should be quite strong on the line. ”

Han Xin asked him, "Dravenga hammer stone?" Do you think they'll dig it? ”

Hao Ren said: "Probably not, Delevingne's hero game is still not very useful." ”

Those who follow the game should know that Delevingne and Hammerstone are the two signature heroes of Krystal and Rhythm respectively.

In the S5 season, the dark horse team Snake was born, in addition to the top single, the most impressive should be their team's AD - Krystal.

As a newcomer, Krystal's debut in the LPL showed his extremely strong strength, playing very fiercely, and becoming the core of their team.

What is especially amazing is his hand Delevingne.

In a game against IG, he scored five kills, becoming the first five kills in LPL history, which shocked all the audience.

The rhythm of support, before playing professionally, was originally an anchor on a live broadcast platform, and later joined the Snake team as an assistant within the team, and Hammerstone is a role he is very good at.

Han Xin thought for a while and said, "But during this time, Snake and they are all Martin and rhythm on the road, and suddenly change Krystal to play the road, and the run-in with the auxiliary may not be good." ”

Lin Han said: "No matter who the opponent is, we just have to play our own ...... The importance of this game is well known. ”

After saying that, several people fell silent at the same time.

In the spring season, their team is still playing LSPL and has no points.

This means that if they lose this six-in-four match, they will not be able to enter the Worlds.

Lin Han looked at them seriously: "In this game, we can't afford to lose!" ”

After a few years of professional work, several people have just struggled for the goal of going to the world stage, and how can they not pay attention to the opportunity when they see that the opportunity is close at hand?

This step must be taken in order to go further!

"Understood!"

......

On Wednesday, August 10, the first round of the LPL Summer Playoffs officially began.

13:00, Match 1, GT vs. VG.

Since GT is third in Group A and VG is fourth in Group B, according to the rules, the team with the highest ranking will start with a win ahead in the first round of the playoffs.

In other words, GT has a 1:0 advantage at the start.

Some people feel that in a BO5 game, there is an extra win before it is played, and this rule is very unfair.

But in fact, from another point of view, the top-ranked teams have a regular season record based on their own strength, and the advantageous position they occupy is also won by their own efforts.

Soon, the race was over, and VG won three games in a row to win 3:1 against Team GT.

Soon after, it was Snake vs. IG match.

As most people think, IG was not as strong as Snake, losing two games in a row, plus Snake had one more win in the regular season ranking, and finally Snake defeated IG with a score of 3:0.

This is also the result that the SSR players expected before the game.

......

On August 11, the LPL relegation and relegation tournament began.

At 13:00, the first game to start is OMG vs. SAT, the loser will be directly relegated to LSPL, and the winner will compete with the LSPL team for a place in the LPL next season.

At the end of the game, OMG defeated SAT 3-0 and entered the next round of relegation.

SAT drops.

Subsequently, the second relegation match between Newbee and LGD began.

Since these two teams are in fifth place in the league, unlike OMG and SAT, the winner will stay directly in the LPL, and the loser will enter the next round of relegation to compete with the LSPL team for qualification.

In the end, LGD won 3:0 against Newbee.

The first round of relegation and relegation is over.

......

On August 12, the second round of the LPL playoffs began with a six-in-four match.

At 12 o'clock, Lin Han and the others arrived at the venue of the game early.

When I was walking around the venue, I happened to run into Mingluo again.

"You ...... How is everything? Mingluo asked tentatively.

Lin Han smiled: "Fortunately, the losing streak has ended, and the last game of the regular season can be won, which is relatively smooth." ”

Seeing this, Mingluo also smiled and said, "Seeing that you are quite relaxed, have you adjusted your state?" ”

Lin Han nodded: "Almost, I won too much before, which led to some problems that I couldn't see clearly, and losing a few more games is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

"Oh yes." Lin Han asked her again, "You're going to explain our team's game today, right?" ”

"yes, yes." Mingluo answered.

Lin Han joked: "It seems that you explained our team's games, and they all won...... During the losing streak, you didn't seem to have explained? ”

Mingluo thought for a moment: "It seems to be." ”

Lin Han smiled and said, "You are the goddess of luck of our team?" Lady Luck smiling? ”

“......”

Mingluo glanced at him: "It's all like this, do you still have the heart to joke?" ”

"Haha, be optimistic." Lin Han said with a smile.

The two chatted a few more words.

"Come on."

"Hmm."

......

At 13:00, SSR's match against Snake begins.

In this game, SSR was in excellent form, as if winning LGD swept away the team's decline.

More than three hours later, the game ended.

SSR defeated Snake 3-1 and successfully advanced to the semifinals.

(PS: Some games can only be brushed aside, there are so many LPL games, it is impossible to write them all one by one, there is no need to waste pen and ink to water, everyone understands.)

Also, there will be a break tomorrow. ）
