Chapter 446: The top four are confirmed, facing JD.com
On September 5th, Yu Hui got up early and sorted out his image with the help of Yu Shuang, and drove the white cow sent by Principal Wang towards the IG base.
Once assembled, they will get on the bus and rush to the Grand Plaza of the Magic City, where they will meet the opening game of the playoffs.
After Yu Hui arrived, everyone started to set off, and there was not much greeting to each other along the way, obviously everyone had a lot of pressure in their hearts.
There are currently 14 teams in the LPL, and only 8 of them have advanced to the playoffs, and only three of these 8 teams can get tickets to the S8 World Finals.
The 14 teams in the LPL and the 32 teams in the LDL add up to about 300 professional players, not counting the more numerous reserve youth academies.
There are certainly many people with extraordinary strength, but there are only 18 substitutes who can go to the World Championships, which is a terrible ratio.
Because the competition for places is small, the competition will naturally be very fierce, the world is so cruel, even if IG's results are very explosive now, they dare not take it lightly.
The playoffs officially kicked off at 4:30 p.m., and today's opener was played by TOP and SNG, who were the bottom two of the eight teams in the standings.
In the past, these two clubs did not have many fans, but the flow of spectators who came to watch the game today was still very terrifying, at least several times that of previous editions.
This is also the credit for the current LPL foreign war victory throughout this year, and the competition area has developed rapidly, so there are many new audiences that have been attracted to it.
The two teams are also very intense, and the teams that advance to the playoffs must all have ideas about the World Championship, and the eyes of the scene are small, who doesn't want to be able to become famous in one fight~
The players on both sides played very well, you fought back and forth to the fifth game, and even the BO5 battle song was played, and in the end, the TOP was better, and it was difficult to break through with a score of 3-2.
The next day's match was JDG vs. FPX, and JD.com didn't make much effort and easily took FPX 3-1.
After that, it took four days to finish the knockout round, followed by the semi-finals and the final.
IG is blessed by the previous summer tournament with a winning record, so their playoffs are played from the semifinals, and the semifinals are directly airborne, and they don't have to play a single game in the first four days.
After the results of the knockout round appeared, the list of the four teams that were finally expected to get tickets to the main match of the S match was also released, namely
IG vs. JDG
RNG vs. R
After a whole year of fighting, in the end, these four teams came to the end, except for the traditional giants of IG and RNG, R and JDG are all rising stars.
R's performance in this year's continental competition was very strong, and he also played a famous scene of a dark horse turning over, and his popularity and strength are not low.
JDG is a real newcomer, although the spring game is not satisfactory, but after the introduction of Coach Redmi, the team's form and performance in the summer game are getting better and better.
Not to mention the summer season, the current playoffs have also been defeated by FPX and EDG one after another, and the two rounds of BO5 are easily won 3-1.
If they can win IG again in this BO5 and Summer Tournament, they will be able to grab a ticket to the S Tournament.
However, in addition to the ownership of the two S8 tickets decided by the playoffs, there is also a play-in ticket.
After these four teams decide the champion, the two losing teams will compete for the final S8 ticket battle against EDG, who were eliminated early.
The winning team can go to the S8 qualifying round, retaining the possibility of advancing to the group stage of the S-stage.
JD.com's sudden rise caught all the teams off guard, and by watching the game review, Coach Golden Pig is now very wary of the coach fellow who is also from South Korea.
Coach Jin took off his glasses, leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his eyes, and sighed: "JD.com's BP and team cooperation are very good, and they are a very tricky opponent."
He sighed too
It's not because of anything else, but this JD team gives him a sense of déjà vu when he sees the LCK team.
The coordination is smooth, the players are closely related to each other, and the style transition between the players is also perfect.
The zoo tube on the top is a tank top single or a Carry top single to play very well.,And dare to take anything.,The depth of the hero pool is very good.,The hero pool of the mid lane yagao is also very wide.,Can C can support.。
Such a team is very difficult to limit in BP, because the opponent can rely on the hero pool of the team members to carry out various combinations and combinations to BP counter.
Not only Coach Kim was surprised, but the IG players were also very surprised, and for a while, everyone didn't know how to take this, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Ah Shui Baolan saw that the few people present did not speak, and the atmosphere was a little solemn, and her eyes involuntarily aimed at Yu Hui who was sitting on the single sofa on the side, wondering when the eldest sister would be able to save the scene.
Yu Hui couldn't help but glared at the two of them, and felt a little funny when he saw the two of them shrinking their heads, and said:
"The play of single toothpaste in Jingdong's team is very important, Brother Yijin's strength is obvious to all, and our midfield can suppress each other in comparison."
Rookie touched his head a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said in a low and humble voice: "Where, the main thing is that my teammate is better than his teammate~"
Coach Jin ignored Rookie, who was pretending to be reserved, and nodded thoughtfully to affirm Yu Hui's statement.
The most solo player in the two BO5 opposite games is Ruiz, followed by Enchantress, and the support ability of these two heroes to the sideline is indeed one of the best.
The mid-laner hero who gives Rookie the right to the strong line may not be able to nail the opponent in the middle.
Then Jingdong's rhythm point has basically been broken, and in terms of disrupting the war, he is still very confident in the strength of his IG.
"Then let's @ start and still go to Duke."
When he spoke, Coach Jin glanced at the little girl to see if she had any other ideas, the prestige of the champion was there, and if he wanted to change @ starter, he still had to worry about his own feelings.
Yu Hui nodded in agreement, she had nothing to object.
Since it has been determined that you want to play the midfield, the resources must be given to the midlaner to eat, and it is natural to take over the game to be the lower road, so it is a good choice for Chase to be a tool for the top.
And Yu Hui herself doesn't like to play this kind of sacrifice position, anyway, the game will never lose her chance to play, there is no need to save all resources in her hands.
After the general direction of tactics is confirmed, it is a simple run-in to find a feeling and then get off work, and play tomorrow, there is no need to continue training, a full mental state is more important.
On September 10th, the competition between JDG and IG will officially begin.
The playoffs have now reached the most critical moment, and it is also the most exciting time for the outside world.
The results of the next game will determine the results of the next month of the Series S World Finals.
Will there be a team they like on the big stage of the world?
Whether it is JDG's upset and a series of three Jedi turnovers, or the IG king who comes to win and enter the finals, everyone is waiting to see.
