Chapter 172 The Final Four of the Playoffs Are Out
After the system rewarded attribute points and released new tasks, Lu Chen no longer wanted to lean on his seat and close his eyes to rest.
It was in the evening, the traffic was heavy, and it would take a long time for the bus to return to the base.
Lu Chen simply took out his phone to watch another six-to-four playoff game.
Although the bo5 between omg and ig lasted four rounds, the situation was not too anxious whether it was the round that ig won or the other three rounds that omg won.
Naturally, the game duration is not very long.
Immediately afterwards at 6 p.m., the bo5 knockout match between we and nb begins. The winner will advance to the semifinals of the playoffs. The opponent in the semifinals will be rng, who is first in group b in the regular season.
We are the champions of the spring split. Although we are no longer the favorites to win the summer split so far, there are still many people who are optimistic that they can win the championship.
As for we fans, they are not that urgent about whether we can win the summer championship. Anyway, we have already won the lpl championship once this year.
What they are more eager to see is that we can appear in the S7 Global Finals.
Because we, as the earliest famous League of Legends team in China, have not participated in the S-game for nearly five years, I have to say that this is a slightly embarrassing thing.
Especially in the bubble match of last year's lpl division, we fell at the last step and fell at the gate to s6.
The huge advantage in the life and death game was overturned, which made IM famous for its triple jump. It was indeed difficult for WE fans to accept.
However, this year we won the lpl spring championship, which also means that we are very close to s7, and our fans are also looking forward to this day.
However, there is another reason why WE fans lower their stance so low, and that is that WE's performance in the regular season of the summer split has been too ups and downs, and we can no longer see the dominance we had during this year's spring split.
At the beginning of the summer regular season, we performed well. Then we participated in the intercontinental competition and beat skt in the intercontinental competition. Naturally, we were very strong.
But after returning from the intercontinental competition, we seemed to have suddenly lost power and frequently lost matches with different groups.
On the contrary, edg is in Group A with we. edg's performance at the beginning of the summer split was not good, and he didn't play well in the first few games of the intercontinental competition. However, after defeating Samsung in the final of the intercontinental competition, edg seemed to be the best.
Enlightened.
After coming back from 4v, edg won every subsequent match between different groups, and basically won every BO3 game with a score of 2-0. As a result, it quickly occupied the first place in group A, and gradually opened up with the second-placed WE.
Achievements.
Even in the final stage of the regular season against the same group, we regained a lot of form and won consecutive games, while edg's team overturned continuously, but we were still beaten by edg by a small point difference and ranked in Group A.
Second, it failed to directly enter the semifinals of the playoffs.
Our opponent today, who has advanced to the fourth knockout round, is the nb team ranked third in Group B.
Although nb is ranked third in Group B after the regular season, their record is much worse than rng and omg who are first and second in group B. Their regular season record is similar to ig.
There is one thing worth mentioning about nb’s team.
That is, during the summer split, their number of first-team members was the largest among the twelve participating teams in the lpl summer split.
They have at least one substitute player for each position, and some positions even have more than one.
The most outrageous thing is that every one of their substitute players has experience in the regular season. A total of eleven players on the team have played at least one regular season game.
In addition to the stable position of Swift in the jungle position, who played in more than 90% of nb's games in the summer split, the substitutes in other positions have played in as few as ten games, and as many as twenty games Bureau.
I don’t know how much their coach likes to rotate personnel and is obsessed with the arrangement and combination of players.
The nb team, at the beginning of the summer regular season, did not perform well, and it was also in a state of winning less and losing more.
At that time, their main bottom laners, Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong, made a lot of mistakes in the game. They often ruined a good situation due to their mistakes, especially Lin Weixiang in the AD position, who was often confused and killed.
After a three-game losing streak, nb's head coach finally couldn't bear it anymore and replaced Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong, replacing them with a bottom lane combination composed of two well-known trolls in the national server, Death Announcement and Doomsday.
Unexpectedly, the effect of this replacement was surprisingly good.
After replacing Death Announcement and Doomsday, nb won four out of five games and quickly reached the third place in Group B. The only game they lost was to the edg team, which was in extremely hot form at the time.
It's a pity that this person who was pronounced dead didn't live up to his expectations. After a few good games, he quickly pulled his hip, and it was the kind that even if he pulled it to the end, he couldn't be saved.
Just like two years ago, when he just returned from North America, his performance during the vg team was the same.
So the head coach replaced the bottom lane combination of Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong, which has been used to this day without any changes.
Lin Weixiang, who has been on the bench for a while, has improved a lot from his habit of giving opportunities during games.
After returning to the main force, nb had a pretty good record, stabilizing its third place in the regular season and entering the playoffs.
nb's opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the Snakes, the fourth team in Group A.
However, although the Snakes entered the playoffs, they only won a measly five best-of-three games in the entire regular season. Their ability to enter the playoffs was entirely due to the support of their colleagues in Group A.
No one thinks that the Snakes have a chance of defeating nb.
Everyone is optimistic about nb's situation, and nb has lived up to expectations. In the first round of the playoffs that ended yesterday, it swept the Snakes with a score of 3-0 and advanced to the top six of the playoffs.
In today's six-to-four game between WE and NB, although most people are definitely more optimistic about WE's promotion, considering NB's pretty good regular season record and the momentum of sweeping the Snakes yesterday, most people also I think that in this bo5, nb can definitely win one or two games from we.
There are even a few people who believe that NBA may upset WE and reach the semi-finals of the playoffs.
However, the result of the game told these people that this bo5 was not an upset.
we swept nb with a score of 3-0.
In the first two games of bo5, there was some back and forth between the two sides, but we won the first two games steadily with better details.
After falling behind 0-2, the players of nb could not stabilize their mentality. In the third game, they quickly collapsed. However, in 24 minutes, the base was flattened by WE, swallowing the bitter fruit of a 0-3 defeat.
When Lu Chen saw nb fell behind 0-2, he stopped watching the game, closed the live broadcast page, and started his own solo queue in the Korean server.
I just finished a bo5 game today, which consumed a lot of energy. The coach did not arrange a training match.
