Chapter 102: Playoffs Final Four
In the first round of the Group B playoffs, there were no surprises, and after four matchups, QG successfully won the NB with a score of 3:1.
In Group A, IG played better and won the first round.
On April 20th, the second round of the playoffs, the night of the WE and QG game.
Everyone at EDG was already in the conference room, watching the match that was about to decide their next opponent.
Everyone's faces were slightly serious, and they were all glued to the screen, waiting for the upcoming game.
"Yebao, who do you think will win this game?"
Brother Saint Gun may have felt that such a wait was too boring, so he came to Chen Ye's side and asked such a question.
Chen Ye was still staring at the screen, and he didn't think much about it, and directly said his conclusion.
"QG doesn't have much chance of winning, WE is too strong this year."
Brother Saint Spear looked deeply convinced.
"In the regular season, it seems like we can hold them down."
Chen Ye glanced at him.
"Don't be complacent, acrobatic boy."
"you!"
It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Chen Ye's call for him, and Brother Saint Spear immediately grabbed Chen Ye's neck.
The two quarreled for a while, and the match between WE and QG soon began.
In the first game, WE almost crushed and won the game directly.
In the eyes of the EDG crowd, QG didn't even find any room to resist in this game, and was directly retreated from the base by WE.
In the second game, QG seemed to have come back to their senses a little, and after BP made some targets for Xiye, they began to focus on the middle lane.
I have to say that QG's decision is quite good, and it has also achieved quite good results in the early and middle periods.
But it's a pity that after the brother-in-law develops, QG is still defeated by WE in the frontal battlefield.
In the match point game, QG was forced to the edge of the cliff, and each player also played a stronger strength than the previous two games.
The two sides fought fiercely for 28 minutes, and it was still difficult to solve.
Then, at this time, QG made the choice to force Dalong.
In the end, this great dragon was snatched by Kandi after the team battle situation became extremely chaotic.
As soon as the dragon was lost, the balance of victory instantly began to tilt in favor of WE, and QG's hope became extremely slim.
Three minutes later, their base was bulldozed.
3:0。
With an incredibly crisp scoreline, WE showed to all the spectators how strong they are as the second-place finishers in the regular season.
At this point, the opponent of EDG's second game has been decided.
It's still the same WE who had a peak battle with EDG in the regular season, and had the same points as EDG in the regular season rankings, but only because of the relationship between the two sides.
On the other side of Group A, IG won the second place in the group OMG and directly advanced to the semifinals.
In the end, the four teams in the semifinals were also decided.
Group A: RNG VS IG.
Group B: EDG VS WE.
These four teams are the top four of the LPL's spring game.
April 22 at 2 p.m. is the start time of the match between EDG and WE.
After knowing their opponents for the next match, the EDG crowd did not stop in the conference room for the slightest.
The players turned their heads straight to the training match, while the coaching staff was busy studying the video footage of the WE game.
Of course, it's not just about the coaching staff when it comes to studying the footage of the opponent's game.
In fact, a lot of the time, the players also juggle some of the coaching staff.
Because the players are stronger than the coaching staff because of their own strength, it is easy to see some things that the coaching staff subconsciously ignores.
The next day's EDG was based on this theory, and the coaching staff and players studied the video for half a day.
The intense preparation always passed quickly, and the time flashed to the day of the race on April 22nd.
It is worth mentioning that this day is also the day of the LCK's Spring Finals.
The LCK schedule ends earlier than the LPL, so the spring finals will come earlier.
And the two sides of the LCK spring final, one side is SKT, and the other is KT.
Judging from the factory director's thoughts, he still prefers SKT to win, after all, his goal is MSI, and the opponent is not SKT, so he always feels that it will be almost meaningful.
Of course, that's all for the time being. The most important thing at the moment is this close game.
April 22nd, half past one in the afternoon.
At this time, in the LPL official live broadcast room, fans of the teams on both sides, as well as viewers from all walks of life, have long been arguing in the live broadcast room.
"EDG is playing WE again? Hehe, don't look at it, EDG must win this time. ”
“??? Who do you look down upon? EDG and WE played each other in the regular season, and the two sides won and lost one, and they were still evenly matched in the standings. ”
"Indeed, WE must have been preparing for this game for a long time, and I played a 2:1 match with EDG last time, and it is not necessarily who wins in a real fight."
"WE fans are so optimistic? The one you won in the regular season, isn't it that EDG didn't adjust the lineup? Now that you've adjusted, aren't you losing directly? How dare you call it? ”
"Indeed, EDG was able to win you once some time ago, and now it can also win you once, so don't be optimistic."
"Don't shout, don't you just get lucky and win 2:1? Why did you put it up for the piglets? I don't quite understand. ”
"Hahahaha, I'm an OMG fan, and I'm satisfied to see EDG and WE fans tearing me up like this."
"Fellow travelers, laughing."
Outside the arena, the smell of gunpowder has gradually become stronger.
Unlike the calm atmosphere in the regular season, everyone knows it.
It's a playoff tournament in a knockout format, and once you lose this game, there will be no follow-up in the first half of the year.
In a life-or-death game, fans can naturally be more aggressive than in the regular season.
Just when the barrage in the live broadcast room was constantly being sent, the players on both sides also entered the arena separately.
A few minutes later, the game slowly entered the BP link.
This BP, the two sides are more interesting.
Ten ban bits, five of which were actually given to the medium unit.
On WE's side, banned Chen Ye's Bird, Syndra, and Jace.
On the EDG side, in the second round of BP, WE pressed the fox and Ike when the middle laner had not yet shot.
In addition, there are no particularly targeted bans on both sides, and the lineups of both sides are quickly determined.
Blue WE lineup: Top laner Crocodile, Jungler Spider, mid laner Karma, ADC Verus, Support Nami.
Red EDG lineup: Top Single Fishman, Jungler Excavator, Mid Single Clockwork, ADC Cold Ice, and Support Lulu.
After the lineups of the two sides of the game were determined, the game screen was also officially entered into the line period.
