Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
This year's LPL Summer Tournament has undergone a format reform, and after all the group matches are over, LGD won the first matchday, and in yesterday's game, NIP also successfully defeated RA.
NIP, who had suffered eight consecutive defeats, finally withstood the pressure and successfully advanced to the playoffs.
The NIP team advanced to the group competition as the second in the group competition, but the state of the group competition declined significantly, and the direct wave of eight consecutive defeats ranked first from the bottom, and the last round of the game was made by the LGD team to chase one, such a result must not be satisfactory to fans, you must know that WBG, which ranked third in the group competition, completed the counterattack in the group and advanced to the top four.
Compared to other teams, the value of the players in the NIP team is obviously higher, and they are not very willing to accept the end of missing the playoffs.
Rookie and their teammates are also under huge pressure, the summit group did not win a single victory, and the morale is definitely not as good as that of the Nirvana group, so they can only rely on sufficient pre-game preparation and hard power to play, as a result, the NIP team successfully justified the name of the summit group, and played a 3-0 sweep score in the face of RA.
It can be said that in addition to the first game of the two sides was more anxious, the second and third games of NIP both played a crushing game.
Rookie didn't know how to shoot before, but he won the MVP with a small cannon in the first game, and the key team battle in the later stage helped the team successfully win, and after winning the first point, NIP immediately gained confidence, and the following games were more and more daring to play.
Before the game, the audience thought that the NIP team's alignment was a disadvantage, and it turned out that the configuration of the NIP team could still easily handle the NIP, the top single mountain chicken brother killed the whole game with a crocodile in one hand, and Xiao Leyan, who was a jungler, could easily suppress Xiaohao in the wild area, only the play of Photic and Zhuo in the lower lane had some flaws.
Photic's EZ still has some mistakes, and Zhuo's insertion is still very abstract.
But with the huge gap in the Ueno position, NIP can still easily advance, and the victory of NIP in this game also proves the great success of the LPL format, before the audience was questioning a problem with the LPL Knight Road system, the Knight Road system is set to let the top two teams in the Nirvana group play BO5, and the winner can only get 10th place.
The audience will feel that the first or second place in the Nirvana group should be treated better, so that the winner can get a higher ranking, or the first place should go to the team in the Nirvana group, and the results show that even the bottom one and two in the Nirvana group can easily take the so-called strong team in the Nirvana group.
Here I have to sigh that the OMG team should take the first place, and if the score is controlled to play the peak group, it is estimated that it will be gone.
After the tie-breaker, the LPL will play according to the normal playoff format before, dividing the 10 teams into two halves, and then playing the bubble match, 14589, 236710 two different halves, so that NIP will face LGD after defeating RA, which will be a revenge battle for NIP.
Personally, I think that if it is to the BO5 stage of the playoffs, maybe NIP's probability of winning will be greater, because after all, there are still star players in the NIP team, and the strength has also been greatly improved after the introduction of Leyan, unless there is a problem with their own state, otherwise playing LGD should still have an advantage.
On the other side is the winner between OMG and TT, go to play the seventh-ranked FPX, here is the dark horse road, see who can rush up.
And after the end of these two days of competition, the audience actually realized the importance of the group competition, the group competition will divide the team into two different levels, the weak team will lose the qualification to compete with the strong team, although it is said to give you a chance to nirvana, but because of the lack of intensity of competition in the group, even if the top ranking is likely to be easily defeated by the team in the summit group.
It is expected that all major teams will work hard to sprint in next year's group competition, and the gap between entering the summit group and falling into the nirvana group is too big.
