Chapter 548: First in points, advance to the playoffs
In the middle of August, the regular season of the LPL Summer Tournament has entered its final stage.
The playoff qualifications for the two groups A and B have also been roughly determined.
In Group B, RNG and EDG are at the top.
It is worth mentioning that EDG did not perform well in the league before participating in the continental competition, and the previous consecutive defeats in the continental competition can also be seen that their form is very poor.
However, since they won the SSG in the finals and won the continental championship with the division, they returned to the league, and all of a sudden, their form has returned, followed by a wave of winning streaks, as if they have returned to the same dominance as in the LPL league.
In terms of personnel, EDG has also undergone some adjustments, such as the launch of their new AD, Iboy.
Although he is a newcomer and has just entered the arena, he has played very well.
At the moment, they are back at the top of the league table and are in hot form.
On the other hand, RNG, which was originally ranked first in Group B, is still very stable.
Before going to TW, they had been in good form in the league and had a great performance in the continental competitions.
After returning, it was as strong as ever, and thanks to the return of Uzi, the whole has been further solidified.
These two teams are still fighting for the first and second place in the points.
Then there is the second echelon of Group B, OMG, NB and SNG, of which OMG has confirmed their playoff spots, and the remaining NB and Suning are closer in points, and both have a chance to compete for the last spot in Group B.
Finally, it is the only DGL in Group B that is "in a class of its own".
While they lost so much in the first half of the season that they were disqualified from the playoffs based on points, the subsequent situation turned out to be quite interesting.
In the second half of the schedule, they suddenly began to exert their power and inexplicably rose to prominence.
Defeated several teams one after another, including some strong teams with high points, all kinds of upsets!
This is not the first time that LGD has been in this situation.
In the S5 Global Finals that year, they were sluggish in the early stage of the group stage and were beaten by various major teams, but after they knelt four times in the group stage and determined that they couldn't get out of the line, they suddenly woke up as if they had woken up, and then they began to exert their strength, and then won the remaining two games.
In their team's subsequent matches, this is often the case.
Anyway, you can't get out of the playoffs, and if you can drag one into the water, it's just that, and it's over.
probably with such a mentality of "breaking the jar and breaking it", all of a sudden, the old godfather became the biggest "water ghost" among the twelve teams in the LPL.
It has made people panic among the teams now, and many of them have to look at their faces.
LPL is chaotic or not, and the godfather has the final say.
On the other hand, the situation in Group A has also been basically finalized, and there is not much change from before.
SSR is still in first place.
In addition, WE and IG have also confirmed their place in the playoffs and will compete for the second place in the points in the final few games.
The remaining one qualifier is still undecided, and the points of Snake, IM and JDG are still very close, and I am afraid that the results will not be known until the final week.
......
Saturday, August 19th.
The penultimate match day of the final week of the regular season of the LPL Summer League.
Backstage, in the lounge.
"Damn, win again!"
Hao Ren applauded and sighed: "This godfather is too fierce!" ”
On the big screen, in the game's footage, LGD pushed off SNG's crystals and defeated them with a score of 2-0, while also ending the final game of their regular season.
Han Xin thought for a while: "If SNG loses this game...... Then NB has already confirmed the promotion, right? ”
"yes, yes." Hao Ren nodded.
"Yes, this wave was dragged into the water by the optimistic team, and Suning was difficult to withstand!" Qin Tianyu said with a smile, "Pike's big move is still strong!" ”
After speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
This metaphor is really vivid.
"Don't talk about it." Lin Han sighed, "Didn't we also be beheaded by them before?" It's become their power bank, alas......"
It hurts to mention this.
When they fought outside the group, they met LGD who was kneeling at that time, but they lost to them 1:2, sending a wave of warmth.
From here, DGL began to pick up its form......
Afterwards, SSR was ridiculed by netizens as the designated "power bank" of the old godfather.
"It's okay, it's okay." Hao Ren comforted, "When we even knelt down last year, our godfather also used us as a power bank once, which doesn't mean that we are back!" ”
"Uh...... Also. ”
Hao Ren said: "Besides, RNG and EDG were also taken down by godfathers before, think about it this way, is it a psychological balance? ”
“...... Kind of makes sense. ”
Since the top-ranked teams like SSR, RNG, and EDG have all turned over here at LGD, the meme of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" was born on the Internet.
It is rumored on the Internet that as long as it has been won by LGD, it means that it has a "strong team certification".
"It's a pity, 6-10, still can't get out of the line." Qin Tianyu shrugged, "If it was so fierce earlier, wouldn't there be a playoffs this time?" ”
"That's not sure...... Just like many people play games, they can't play until they have residual blood, and Godfather is probably like this. Hao Ren smiled, "It's because I can't get out of the line that I can be so fierce." ”
"One thing to say, indeed."
A few people were chatting while they were also waiting for the final game of the regular season that they were about to face.
In fact, for Lin Han, it can be said that there is no pressure on them now.
Because SSR is two points away from WE, who is currently in second place in Group A.
In other words, whether they win or lose this game, they have now locked up the first place in Group A points.
Even so, everyone still wanted to do their best to win this last game, enter the playoffs with a winning attitude, get off to a good start, and draw a successful end to their regular season this year.
After a while, the staff came over to inform them that the commissioning was ready and they were ready to play.
Lin Han stood up and clapped his hands: "Fight well...... Strive for a perfect ending, no problem, right? ”
"A must!"
......
At around six o'clock in the afternoon, the SSR match against JDG began.
In this BO3, SSR maintained their strong posture as always, and all members were in excellent condition, while the strength of the JD team, which was at the bottom of the league points, obviously had a very big gap with it, and there was no upset.
In about two hours, Lin Han swept the opponent with a score of 2:0 without any suspense.
In the end, SSR ended their regular season with a 13-3 record and entered the playoffs this summer with the top points in Group A.
