LPL Playoffs

After the lower bracket draw, TES vs. IG and BLG vs. WBG, which is probably the bloodiest first round in the history of the LPL playoffs. All four teams have a lot of popular stars, and since there is no margin for error in the lower bracket, whoever loses will end the first stage and rest until April to prepare for the next stage. There are many teams that were actually the first in the group that everyone predicted at the beginning of the season, and ended up in the second group and fell into the lower bracket, which many people did not expect. For example, BLG, the favorite to win the championship, actually lost to TT.

IG，Rookie，Theshy，Jackeylove

When these keywords are put together, in recent years, what has been represented in the LPL is the famous duel "Ninja World War". Today, however, a lot has changed. For example, there is no Knight and Tian by Jackeylove's side, and although IG spent a lot of money to regroup Theshy and Rookie back into the team, the effect of this so-called all-god class is not ideal. The heat should still be high, but the quality of the game may not be as exciting as the previous ones. In the German Cup, TES crushed IG on one side, and it was a very exaggerated hanging game.

In particular, Kanavi and 369 plus Homme, the former JDG's eternal hunting combination, may be a good one for Theshy. Jackeylove and Liu Qingsong played against Gala and Meiko, this kind of 2v2 may have collided in the Asian Games, although they have both peaked in the past, but now I am afraid they are all half a catty.

WBG vs. BLG

In the past, it was difficult for WBG to win BLG under the traditional BP model, but this year's first stage is a global BP, and judging from the performance of the group stage, BLG itself also has many problems. After Tian joined WBG, he didn't see any qualitative improvement in this team. The stalk of the Spring Tiger, I'm afraid it's difficult to play any metaphysical effect today. The matchup between these two teams is very important for Nosuke, especially Nosuke, who plays a crucial role in the early rhythm.

It will not be easy for the lower bracket to advance to the finals

As the favorite to win the championship at the beginning of the season, BLG needs to win Bo5 with 5 global BPs in a row if they want to advance to the finals and win the championship. One life, no room for error. If you lose any of these rounds, you will have to see you again in April. This year's new format is a tightrope for teams with relatively large traffic, and as long as they fail, they will have no camera for a long time. For example, T1, the most popular in the world, was eliminated early, and now it can only wait for the start of the next stage to have a picture.

BLG's upset loss to TT is the root cause of this situation, if BLG and T1 miss the First Stand this year. Then this year's inaugural new international event may be interesting.
