Chapter Forty-Eight: The Final Battle
According to the schedule of the 2017 LPL Summer Championship, the top eight teams in the two groups of AB will enter the playoffs to compete for the summer championship and also compete for a place in the World Championship.
Team IG managed to move into third place in Group A after winning RNG.
The two teams ahead of him are EDG and WE.
There's a reason why Su Xiaoluo feels incredibly confident heading into the playoffs.
The schedule of the subsequent IG matches is relatively simple compared to other teams.
IM, SNG, OMGDAN and Snake are the opponents that will be faced in the next five matches of the IG Summer Tournament.
IG, who have won six and lost five, would have a summer score of 11/5 if they could win all five teams.
Such a score is not only solid to make the playoffs, but it is even possible to move up one more place.
Among the five teams, except for OMG, which is relatively a relatively difficult bone to gnaw, the remaining four teams are not a cause for concern in Su Xiaoluo's opinion.
But in the eyes of countless viewers, the results of this year's LPL Summer Tournament seem a little worrying.
The LPL seems to be divided into two echelons in the summer season.
Playoff echelons as well as relegation echelons.
In the past, at least one team would be significantly ahead of the others in terms of strength, and the results in the regular season would be relatively good.
Take a look at this year's ......
The teams at the top of the rankings also won and lost, and everyone's records were about the same, and the strength seemed to be almost the same.
As the Worlds approaches, fans in the LPL region can't help but start worrying.
Will this year's configuration of each team really be able to compete with the strong teams of South Korea in the World Championship?
Shouldn't they be bloodied like last year and all of them stagnate in the quarterfinals?
The audience thinks differently than the pros.
At this moment, all teams that have a chance to make the playoffs are working hard to train hard.
And there is gradually a sentence in the circle between the teams and the clans that has been praised by many teams.
"Even IG has trained so hard, what reason do you have not to work hard?"
IG has recently started to make appointments with major teams for training matches according to the "number of games", instead of according to the BO number as before.
In fact, in the past, only IG was the only team that would make an appointment with others for a BO3 or BO5 training match, either crushing 2-0 or losing 0-2 and resting directly.
But not long ago, IG had already started to play a few sets, which surprised many teams and secretly included IG teams in the list of "more dangerous".
IG fans have been quite happy lately, and from late July to mid-August now, the IG team has won four in a row.
It's just that the lineup is not stable enough, so that many fans who can understand the game faintly feel that this is a hidden danger.
During this period, the rotation of IG continues.
There are just too many of them.
MAFA is not a very aggressive coach, he is a bit of a good old man, unless the form of the players does start to decline, or the effect of the training match is huge, otherwise MAFA will not directly press a player to the bench.
This is also a point that Li Luo is quite worried about.
It has been a month and a half since he came to the base, and during this time, Li Luo borrowed King Ning's mouth to subtly improve many problems of the team.
But only the problem of rotation can not be solved.
IG has had a smooth ride lately, with only one of the three consecutive wins against RNG being won 2-1, and the remaining two games were all crushed 2-0.
There are only so many games, but the problem is that there are too many people on IG.
If the team's results are not good, Li Luo can still make some suggestions, but when the team's results are relatively good, Li Luo has no reason to put forward these.
Li Luo roughly knows what mafa thinks, IG's current main force plus substitutes, and there are only eight people who can play.
Recently, he has been in good form, so the coach MAFA has started to study the lineup for the World Championship in his spare time.
According to the regulations of the S7 World Finals, IG can only bring a maximum of five main players, one substitute, and one emergency substitute, for a total of seven people.
Moreover, the emergency substitute is still used to make up the number, unless the main force is unable to play due to force majeure factors, and the substitute conflicts with its position, the emergency substitute can play.
So the question is, there are eight people in IG, how to make a trade-off?
Recently, Duke and the child Youshen have been training desperately, and the child Youshen previously felt that the team's entry into the World Championship was a bit mysterious, so he was not active in the training match except for playing more rank.
Duke didn't think about it that much at all, anyway, he was last year's world champion, and he played more than half of the spring and summer games, and he performed well.
If you really enter the World Championship, you have to have a place for him.
But when Li Luo came, everything changed.
At present, if the teams are ranked according to priority, Li must be far ahead of the priority among the two ADCs.
Considering the diversity of IG's tactical system today, Duke is also starting to worry.
……
Training room.
West watched his teammates play training matches on the side, listening to Li Luo's methodical command, Duke was full of envy and a little worried at the same time.
But soon he whispered to comfort himself: "Fortunately, Li Luo can only play the three heroes of Destiny, Han Bing, and Varus, and my tactical position should not be replaced." ”
He's a C.
He'll have a big mouth.
Will Calista.
Both heroes Li Luo don't play.
He is still of great value to the club.
As long as you can keep it up!
West settled down and continued to rank.
IG doesn't know when it started to roll up.
However, this kind of involution is benign for IG who is eager for a place in the World Championship.
The next day, after training, the mafa announced their starting line-up for tomorrow's final game against Snake.
The shy、ning、Rookie、shine、morgan。
After announcing the roster, mafa said slowly: "If we can win this game 2-0 and then EDG can beat WE, we can improve one place and finish second in Group A, so we can also play one less BO5." ”
"So, come on, everyone."
After mafa finished speaking, he went to submit the roster to the LPL.
Leaving IG and a group of people waiting in place to chat.
"Be nice to your posture."
The child You Shen patted King Ning and said seriously: "Just catch him ten times and eight times, don't catch too much." ”
"A meal for the head of a man."
King Ning tilted his head and said with a serious face.
"Rice can't work, peaches do."
After thinking about it, the child dropped a sentence and ran away.
"Peaches? What peaches? ”
King Ning was a little dazed.
"He meant to feed you fart."
Bao Lan's faint words floated in, and King Ning was stunned for another two seconds before he suddenly woke up, he stood up suddenly, made a gesture of rolling up his sleeves, and threw himself out of the training room.
After Li Luo watched the two leave with a smile on his face, his gaze shifted to the screen.
He's watching footage of Snake's recent fights.
Crystal Brother, who played most of the summer tournament, returned to the adc position at the end of the summer tournament and toppled the WE team with an absolute record advantage in Group A with a score of 2-1 in yesterday's game.
This seems incredible to many.
After all, Snake's record in the summer tournament is not up to par, and when it is weak, it is even infinitely close to the ranks of the relegation team.
IG is the finale, and so is Snake.
They currently have a 5/10 record and sit fourth in Group A.
It looks like the fourth place in Group A seems to be good.
But in the overall list, Snake's result has reached ninth place.
and three big wins away from Suning, which is in eighth place.
To put it bluntly, now they have completely lost the opportunity to enter the playoffs, and they have become water ghosts, just to lurk in the dark like LGD, and work hard to rewrite the playoff rankings.
If it is against another team, Li Luo will not worry at all.
It's an extremely unstable Snake.
The top laner in the Snake team is at his peak, but he has the strength to make it difficult for him to play in the situation of successive team substitutions.
The SOFM state of the jungler fluctuates greatly.,It feels like it's being put on a random buff.,It's quite exaggerated when it's fierce.,It's especially exaggerated when you pull your hips.。
The posture of the mid laner ...... It's also weird, the new auxiliary butterfly on the lower side of the road is mediocre, and Brother Crystal, who has returned to the ADC position, is still rehabilitating.
Not to mention that he is not a top coach in terms of tactical preparation at this time, and even if he is, he is helpless in the face of such a team full of problems.
They can only hope to improve the overall run-in of the team as much as possible before the holiday, and then try some tactics that are ahead of the version, anyway, they can't enter the playoffs, and it is always good to experience the new version in advance.
The version of the tournament jersey has just been updated, but many teams have come up with the lineup from the previous version because that's their best lineup.
In the crucial rush of the playoffs, it may be difficult to switch other tactics.
The strong teams are mainly focusing on stable points grabbing, and the weak teams naturally begin to fish in troubled waters.
"Brother Crystal......
Li Luo opened his small notebook and listed the heroes who have played the most since Brother Crystal returned to the ADC.
Verus, Dramatist, Draven.
In addition to Draven, the other two heroes highly overlap with Li Luo's hero pool.
In other words, Brother Crystal has been mainly focusing on functional ADC in the team recently, and occasionally when the team needs him, he will take out Draven to cut it.
This is...... Do you want to "mix" and "mix", and then bet on the state of the richest man and posture to hit Nakano?
Li Luo seemed to understand Zhu Kai's configuration.
This may be an interesting finale.
