DK selects NS

Because DK is the first in the group stage, it has the right to choose the opponent in the first round in the second round of the playoffs. In the end, after watching NS vs. KT and T1 vs. HLE, DK naturally chose NS as his opponent without any hesitation or hesitation for a second. Although DK's new lineup still maintains a 100% win rate after entering the new season, T1, HLE and GenG, which are luxurious lineups, will definitely meet as few teams as possible before the finals. DK hasn't done anything high and low in the past, and it remains to be seen whether their intensity will be the same in the regular season and playoffs.

Dark horse?

2 old with 3 new NS has become the dark horse of the first stage of this year's LCK, and of course it is also the lucky one under the new format. Because of the group confrontation mode, T1 and HLE were finally separated together, and the lower bracket forced them to fight for the fourth and fifth promotion spots, and they met in the first round of the playoffs without Oscar. If you follow the format of previous years, I'm afraid it will be NS vs. T1, and HLE vs. KT. The top four will become T1, HLE, GenG and DK that are more in line with expectations.

NS are still the least favored of the remaining four teams, and many people even feel that they shouldn't be here. The opponents he defeated along the way were all weak, winning DRX in the play-in round and KT in the first round. Jiwoo is a good newcomer to the LCK in the past two years, but it's a pity that NS itself doesn't have too strong the ability to compete for the championship, which is a bit of a waste of good seedlings.

According to the normal plot, NS next lost 2 in a row and ended the first stage in fourth place. Of course, or are they really dark horses that can cause upsets? It's just that the next two opponents are completely different from the two they fought before.

Is it adjusted?

GenG's performance in the group stage was not good, and Ruler was even beaten by T1 newcomers, giving up the support of experienced veterans in exchange for a mediocre performance. GenG's Kaminakano is still very competitive in the LCK, but if the duo is a burden, they may have a hard time facing DK and HLE. Especially since they will face HLE next, and after beating T1, the combination of Viper and Delight is clearly in better shape than the current GenG duo. Now it seems that GenG may be better off keeping last year's lineup.

High-quality playoff routes

Play T1 first, then GenG, and if you win, you will have to face DK, and you may have to play GenG or DK once in the finals. HLE's route to the playoffs is really the most hardcore in LCK history. The good news is that the double defeat has a chance to tolerate mistakes, and the bad news is that after playing 5 sets of global BP with T1 passionately, everything that can be played has already been played, and the bottoms have been seen out, and the battle against GenG and DK may be greatly affected. If HLE can win the first stage this year, I have to admit that the gold content of their championship is too high. It is also a club that has spent a lot of money in the transfer period, and it really wants to produce results.

The second round of the LCK playoffs will be played on February 15-16, especially HLE vs. GenG, which may be as exciting as T1 vs. HLE, so wait and see!
