Chapter 69: The First S4 Quota Confirmed!

The end of the LPL Summer Season regular season also heralds the beginning of the LPL playoffs, and when the LPL playoffs champion is established, there will be a selection and promotion match for the S4 World Finals.

After all, there are only four teams that enter the LPL playoffs, even if they are full, and the final selection tournament related to the S4 Finals ticket due to the competition system, at least about five teams must participate, so no matter what MG's performance in the playoffs is, it will not affect their results in the selection tournament in the end.

Of course, this is not to say that the results of the LPL playoffs are really completely useless for the ticket to the S4 World Finals, if there is a team that can win the final championship of the 2014 LPL Spring and Summer Playoffs at the same time.

Then this team doesn't even have to participate in the competitive tryouts to get a ticket to the S3 World Finals!

They only need to determine the winner in the final selection match, and then compete with the winner to see who is the seeded team in the Chinese region to participate in the S4 World Finals.

;

That's why although this playoffs are of great significance, it is actually useless for MG.

However, while the results of the playoffs are not very important to MG, the double-elimination format and the format of each game are BO5. This extremely frequent and intense format is really precious for MG, which is in need of time and running-in at this time.

Maybe they won't be able to make the playoffs. But one thing is for sure, they will definitely be able to learn enough lessons in the playoffs. Make great strides so that they will be more likely to stand out from the crowd in the upcoming trials that are directly related to tickets to the S4 Finals!

It's just that as the team that finished fourth in the regular season standings, the opponent they will face in the first place in the next playoffs is the first team EDG at the top of the standings!

However, although MG is no longer invincible at the beginning of the previous season for various reasons, after a change of blood in the team and several weeks of games, MG has grown into a hard bone, even if the recent EDG has the sweeping trend of the previous MG. But MG is not something that EDG can nibble lightly.

In the end, after 4 rounds of the big game, EDG defeated the MG team with a score of 3-1, although it was not able to play five games, but the reason why it was difficult is because almost every game was played to the late stage of forty or fifty minutes, and EDG always relied on its strong team battle ability to finally defeat the MG team in the late stage.

After all, although Tan's ADC often has an unusually bright appearance in the late stage, once Wayne is banned, then no matter which ADC hero Tan uses, it is impossible to achieve a 1v5 saving the world effect similar to Wayne's in the later stage!

Once in a late 5v5 team fight. In fact, a small ADC is very fragile and weak, as long as your teammates are stunted or not very powerful, in fact, it is difficult for you to have much output space, and in the end, even if you are the only one left who is not cut to death. But an ADC really doesn't have a good way to deal with the strong advance of several enemy people.

Therefore, even Tan has always occupied the top spot of the KDA king in the KDA rankings of the entire LPL Summer Tournament with the highest number of kills, the lowest number of deaths, and the most number of supplements. But it's still the same sentence, except for Wayne. There is no hero who can save the world 1v5!

Therefore, even if Tan has faintly surpassed UZI in the hearts of domestic players, he has become the top ADC player in China and even in the world. But under his leadership, the MG team suffered a storm of substitutions and a fatal tactical blow.

In fact, it is really not easy to be able to go so far and squeeze into the playoffs and have the opportunity to compete for the final S4 Finals ticket, which is very good!

And just after the end of the game between the first and fourth EDG and MG, the next two or three, that is, the game between the royal family and OMG, has also kicked off, and the final result is not unexpected, after a total of five games, OMG, which has been obviously in a downward state recently, finally lost 2-3 to the royal family, which has been on the rise recently.

However, the so-called double-elimination system is actually to avoid the luck component to the greatest extent, that is, it is not like the previous game format, where the winner of the two groups will directly fight to the death, and finally determine the playoff champion.

In a double-elimination format, the winner of the first and fourth places, and the winner of the second and third places, compete against each other, and the loser of the winner's bracket who loses at the end will play against the winner of the lower bracket!

In this way, the winner will be able to avoid the element of luck to the greatest extent possible against the winner of the upper bracket, and it can be said that everyone who can win the final championship or a certain ranking must be genuine and have their own real strength.

In the next game, in the upper bracket EDG vs. the royal family, EDG continued its dominance, relying on its excellent late-stage team battle ability, defeated every team that dared to play late-stage team battles with EDG one by one, and finally EDG easily swept the royal family 3-1 and won the upper bracket.

However, compared to the no suspense in the upper bracket, the lower bracket matches that followed were extremely close and exciting, and the MG table Xiàn, which has been on a steady rise recently, is getting better and better, which is inextricably linked to the rapid progress of their top laners and mid laners.

OMG, on the other hand, were as unstoppable as ever at the start of the Summer Tournament, just like Team MG. All but one of the games were won by a clean sweep with a winning record, but in the second half of the summer season. OMG, however, has also suffered a decline like the MG team.

It's just that MG is under the adjustment of Zhang Hengyi's prophetic reborn, whether it is the change of blood of the team members or the timely change of tactics. It can be said that they are all very wise decisions, coupled with the fact that the mid-laner Snowqueen's table is getting better and better, she is getting more and more comfortable with the rhythm of the game, and MG's performance has naturally improved to a certain extent.

But it's a pity that the dark forces OMG didn't adjust their state in time, and they were even forced to draw in their recent games against the crane tail We.A, so when they fought hard with the MG team for a total of five games, they still lost to the MG team in the end, and completely missed the playoff game with this LPL summer game!

It's just a little regrettable that the MG team that was the winner of the lower bracket was subsequently in the MG team. Against the royal team that lost in the upper bracket, due to the excellent play of INSEC, it brought great pressure to MG's upper and middle lanes.

And he has a very aggressive style of play and is good at anti-wild, and he will often give wild resources to his teammates, and his style of play is more inclined to the development of team battles.

It can be said that this time MG lost in the jungler position, and the tan and tml in the bottom lane. Although they have long been called the strongest bottom lane combination in the LPL by domestic netizens, they actually failed to play much advantage when facing the bottom lane combination composed of the recognized world No. 1 Wayne Uzi and South Korean player Zero.

Although the snowqueen in the middle lane said that both from the operation and the output of the late team battle. are obviously stronger than the opponent's mid-laner corn, but under the strong interference of the enemy's jungler insec, it is difficult for snowqueen to do much in the game.

As for the JJ players on the road, that's not to mention. Staying alone on the road, there was no one to help him at all, and he was almost caught and cried by insec, it can be said that insec as a royal jungler has successfully brought the rhythm. But the shadow is obviously slightly inferior to insec in the game, and is often led by the nose by the opponent. The whole scene can be said to be inactive.

Therefore, in the end, after a total of five games, the MG team still lost to the royal team with momentum, and had no choice but to settle for the third place.

As for the championship battle between the royal family and EDG, it is still the same, the royal family was easily swept out of the game by EDG directly 3-1, and finally the EDG team, which is the champion of the LPL spring playoffs, once again won the championship trophy on the LPL field and successfully defended the LPL summer playoffs championship!

And more importantly, the EDG team, which is the champion of the LPL Spring and Summer Tournaments, won the title of double champion at the same time, but directly won the ticket to the S4 World Finals!!

In this way, it is equivalent to the Chinese division, which originally had only three places, and now there are only the last two places left!

According to the format of the S4 World Finals Selection and Qualifying Tournament, if the LPL Spring Champion and the Summer Champion are the same team, then the champion team will automatically get the S4 entry spot, and the other two spots will be the LMG team, the runner-up of the LPL Spring Tournament.

As well as the second place Royal Team, the third place MG Team, and the fourth place OMG team in the LPL Summer Tournament, a total of four teams finally fought for the last two S4 places in the form of a lottery!

However, since OMG, the runner-up team of the LPL Spring Tournament coincided with the fourth place team OMG of the LPL Summer Tournament, the ranking was postponed and replaced by the fifth place team in the LPL Summer Season, that is, the LGD team participated in the final place competition.

So when the S4 World Finals selection and qualifier finally kicked off, the last two S4 places in the China region will be generated in the four teams of OMG, Royal, LGD and MG teams! (To be continued......) R1292
