In order to occupy a favorable ranking in the playoffs, all teams in the LPL teams launched the final sprint.
The intensity of the confrontation between the same group in the last round was obviously greater than before. Both sides of the game were more cautious and the team battles that were not sure were about to stop, which led to the slowdown in the pace of the game and the game time was extended.
For the players, they are facing a test of greater intensity.
After the confrontation between the different groups ended, EDG returned to Group A, his dominance did not decrease at all.
On July 22, EDG swept NB 2-0.
This game not only continues to demonstrate EDG's dominance, but also makes a final decision on one thing.
Winning NB means EDG has won the 12th point in the summer. Snake, the second-ranked team in Group A, lost to IG in an upset way. Even if Snake wins all the way behind, it will not be able to squeeze out EDG's position.
Therefore, the first place in Group A is equivalent to being released two weeks ahead of schedule.
No matter how EDG plays later, their situation of directly advancing to the playoff semi-finals will not change.
On July 24 and July 30, EDG completed the second round of sweeps against SAT and GT.
On August 5th, that night on Friday, Ziqi walked to the backstage with lingering fear.
In the last two matches with TheShy, he was eaten single for a row because of his radicalism.
Because jungler Kid was involved in the chaos in the middle lane, he did not come to help in time when his posture was needed most, which led to the psychological shadow of the noble lady in the capital.
In the 15th season, he was bullied by the top laner show in various ways. Unexpectedly, in the 16th season, he never played a young man with EDG.
This is not the first time that the stance was defeated by TheShy, but the result is that it makes him more and more profound.
Zizheng gradually realized that when he really fought, he seemed to be unable to beat this young man.
This made the former DJ boy sigh. In addition to being sad about spring and autumn, his stance also asked himself: Am I old too?
On August 7th, this day was the weekend, and the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center was overcrowded.
At one pm, SAT vs. GT.
At 3:00 pm, IG vs. NB.
At five o'clock in the evening, the 2016 LPL summer regular season officially ushered in its last round of 3.
There was no suspense in the last two games, and the game was over before it was dark.
In the studio, the commentators shouted:
"Congratulations to EDG! for defeating Snake 2-0!"
"Show God Carry won the super god data again!"
"In the 2016 summer season, EDG once again achieved glory in a few months. As some viewers said, these few months have been completely EDG time!"
"16 consecutive victories are the strongest team in LPL ever!"
“…”
"Yes, by this moment, our summer season regular season has officially ended."
"However, the regular season can only be considered a warm-up, and the subsequent schedule will become more and more exciting."
"In the next period of time, the major LPL teams will start sprints for the three S6 World Championships!"
"So, who will represent LPL to North America, we will wait and see!"
...
In the backstage of the EDG venue in Hongqiao venue, in addition to collaborating with the official to hold a series of activities, everyone in EDG sat in the lounge.
Because after the regular season, everyone's nervous nerves couldn't help but relieve a lot.
Abu put down the pile of promotional items he was packing and walked to everyone, with a smile on his face.
"Thank you all!"
Everyone looked at Abu, and everyone's expression was pleasant.
"After the regular season, we also did the best in the regular season. However, we all understand that that is not our ultimate goal."
Seeing the factory manager curling his lips, Abu asked:
"Province, what do you want to say?"
The factory manager grinned:
"I don't want to say anything. I want to fly to Los Angeles early and pick up that trophy, which is what I want to do most this year."
After hearing what he said, A Guang, Tian Ye and A Shui's eyes were shining.
"I want to!"
"Brother Factory, I want to do it too!"
The shy man said in a less authentic Chinese:
"I haven't participated in the S game once. This was something I could only think about before. I didn't expect it to be realized now. It's really the same as dreaming."
“…”
On this topic, everyone was talking about it and talking about their feelings.
Li Zixiu enjoyed this kind of time very much, and was filled with hope, beautiful and ideal environment with her teammates.
Looking at everyone's condition, Abu straightforwardly:
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I suggest that the subsequent holiday time be cancelled directly. Can you accept it?"
"no problem!"
"The playoffs are about to begin, I want to stay in the training room."
"I want to practice more!"
"I heard from 957 yesterday that WE is now engaged in special training, and the same goes for RNG. People are working so hard, so of course we can't relax."
"Yes, I was excited when I thought of the World Championship. We can't breathe a sigh of relief before the entire S6 ended!"
“…”
Looking at the energetic team members, the WE uniform team showed a gratifying smile.
Although the future is uncertain and I don’t know what will happen on the road ahead, as long as I see the man and for some reason, my originally uneasy heart stabilized.
EDG, has a real sunny white jade pillar!
Abu and Li Zixiu looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
...
In the summer of 2016, all teams were experiencing different fates. When EDG was silent in its vision for the future, many teams were worried about where to go tomorrow.
Because for these teams, whether they can stay in the LPL league next season is still a question mark.
With the end of the regular season, the points of the major teams have also been determined.
EDG in Group A ranked first with 16 points, Snake ranked second with 10 wins and 6 losses, and GT7 won and 9 losses. The team that ranks at the tail of the playoffs is IG, and they are as stable as the spring season. The fifth and sixth places are NB and SAT teams respectively. SAT, which is full of veterans, is very miserable because they only scored one point in 16 rounds of wave 3.
Although the RNG team had some ups and downs in the last stage, it still won the first place in Group B with a record of 13 wins and 3 losses.
WE11 wins and 5 losses ranked second, followed by dark horses IM and VG teams.
LGD ushered in the last stage of Wei Shen and Aya Hirano, but did not catch up with the last train of the playoffs. The record of 7 wins and 9 losses made LGD pass by in the summer playoffs.
And at the end of Group B is the former dark force OMG.
The old 59Es who still insisted were really panicked. OMG had just climbed back from the cliff of relegation in the spring season.
Unexpectedly, they will face the same crisis this summer.
This time, no one knows whether OMG can escape unscathed.
For teams with low rankings in each group, the playoff schedule is very compact.
On the third day of the regular season, the first round of the LPL summer playoffs, the 8-to-6 game will start!
Chapter completed!
