Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The LPL Summer Playoffs kicked off a battle of the spotlight yesterday, with the previous two consecutive wins of BO5 against the higher-ranked JDG team, only to see the two teams battle it out until the final game.
In the end, the NIP team completed the counterattack again and successfully defeated the JDG team to advance to the top six.
This round of the game was considered by most viewers to be a close matchup, because in the second half of the group competition, the JDG team was in a relatively poor state, and there was a big problem in the upper middle, and the JDG team itself had a conflict in the spring tournament, which has not been completely resolved yet.
One of the biggest advantages of NIP is that it has played two consecutive BO5 games, and the NIP team has bottomed out and started to gain momentum after suffering a wave of eight consecutive defeats in the group competition.
As a result, in the five matchups between the two sides, the JDG team was obviously the worse side, the second game was a quick attack game with the team's previous foundation, the holy gun brother Alora and Kanavi's Foyego corresponded to their own peak returns, and in the fourth game, Rookie made a huge mistake in the lane period, and was killed by the opponent alone while suppressing Yagao in the middle for most of the time.
Rookie's mistake in the fourth game almost made him a turning point in this round of BO5, once JDG won the last game, Rookie's public opinion evaluation will inevitably collapse, but fortunately, in the end, the NIP team withstood the pressure and won the fifth game, and Rookie's tiebreaker was also a complete redemption, and after making up for it, it also broke NIP's winless record of five consecutive games against JDG.
In the fourth game, the JDG team relied on Ruler's key wave of seizures to kill EZ and successfully control the situation, winning the purebred Earth Dragon Dragon Soul and the Ancient Dragon to win the game, but in the decisive game, the JDG team had a huge auxiliary problem, NIP played a dream start, the pheasant continued to make contributions, and Xiao Le Yan Jiela brushed the wild and GAN The rhythm was very good.
At one point, JDG grabbed the opportunity to steal the dragon, but Missing made a fatal mistake to give the opportunity, and NIP ended the game with a wave of kills from the first plane.
From this round of the series, it can be seen that the problems of the JDG team are actually not limited to the middle and upper lanes, Sheer, a top laner who has been trained for more than half a year, was judged to be insufficient at a critical moment, and Brother Saint Gun is a better choice, and Yagao in the middle lane has become the object of ridicule from the audience, becoming JDG's biggest shortcoming.
It is difficult for a mid-laner to win when the team is completely stretched on the line and sleepwalking.
And then the most surprising thing is that last year's JDG team's first bottom lane support player Missing, in this round of the series, almost had a problem with the handlebar, and couldn't bear the lane, it can be said that the moment JDG lost NIP, JDG was already forced into a desperate situation.
The JDG team's summer season is over, but they still have a chance to get a place in the World Championship, and the opportunity is the bubble match, but JDG needs to look at the other half of the game, the JDG team currently has 60 points for the whole year, and the NIP team has 70 points after winning, locking the bubble tournament spot.
JDG's main opponents in the other half are AL and FPX, JDG is not very acceptable is that FPX beats AL to advance to the top six, FPX spring 20 points, if you advance to the top six, you will get 40 points, a total of 60 points, but the summer ranking is greater than JDG, the position is ahead of JDG in the case of the same point, the same situation also applies to WBG, WBG is also 60 guaranteed.
JDG prefers to see the script that AL beats FPX, and then TES defeats AL, so that JDG can get a seat in the bubble tournament, I personally think there is a relatively high possibility, TES is almost unsolvable in the face of FPX and AL, it depends on whether AL can beat FPX.
But even if JDG can get a place in the bubble tournament in the end, it will be a life of death, and I personally think that this year's JDG team can basically declare failure and miss the World Championship in advance, and it is true that the former king will completely decline this year.
