The compact schedule of the lpl is very unfriendly to teams ranked lower in the playoffs.
They didn't have much time to prepare. Just four days after the final game of the LPL, that is, on April 12, the playoffs began.
The schedule will be carried out in the format of abab, that is to say, the 12th is the duel of Group A, the 13th is the duel of Group B, the 14th is the duel of Group A, and so on.
The semi-finals will be held on April 22, one week after the knockout rounds on the 15th.
For Li Luo, he was much busier than others during this period.
The selection for the Asian Games has begun.
Although this Asian Games is an exhibition match, after all, it is about wearing the national flag and competing for the country.
In addition, it is said that it is selection, but the selection in China is different from the layers of screening in Korea.
The first thing to consider is whether the players have any negative news personally. This is a hard standard.
In addition to that, there are the results in the past two years and the performance in the domestic competition.
The choice of coach has been finalized, and it is Abramovich.
Although edg's results last year were not as good as rng's, considering various aspects, Abramovich is still the best candidate to coach the national team.
What Li Luo had to do was go to the capital to attend a related meeting and shoot some posters and even promotional videos about the Asian Games.
Li Luo didn't understand the complexity of it, but it was inevitable to make this trip.
During this period, edg will be without a coach and without an adc. Fortunately, the time will not be too long, only about a week at most. edg will temporarily call a new player Hope to cooperate with the team for training tasks, which is quite manageable.
It’s just that the training effect will inevitably be somewhat compromised.
And because the participants in the selection are scattered among different teams, schedule conflicts will inevitably occur. Therefore, not everyone on the list must make this trip, but Li Luo, as the champion of last year’s World Finals, is also the FMVP
, and is also the commander of the team. The position of captain of the Asian Games League of Legends team is inevitable.
Li Luo had no complaints about this. Fighting for the country and fighting for honor were an honor that ordinary people could not touch.
Moreover, Edg is not completely unprepared for this playoffs. Even on the road, he and Abramovich can judge the current version of Edg through the first few rounds of the playoffs and make adjustments.
The playoffs kicked off soon.
As the third place in Group B, rng needs to surpass three opponents in a row to enter the finals.
Although rng performed quite well in the second half of the lpl spring regular season, they are not widely favored in this playoffs.
If you want to win the championship, you have to wear four.
It’s difficult to think about it.
And the team rng faced in the first game of the playoffs was we.
We's strength has always been relatively stable, tending to be in the middle and upper reaches of LPL.
Moreover, when rng faced WE last year, it was difficult to defeat with a score of 3 to 2. It is difficult to say who will win and who will lose when the personnel of both sides have not changed much.
However, the first game of this playoffs surprised countless people.
In the bo5 match, rng easily defeated we with a score of 3-0.
Xiye, who performed well, seemed to be transformed into Xiaohu's power bank, and the brother-in-law in the bottom lane... was even more explosive.
Abu and Li Luo watched the entire game in the hotel restaurant.
At the end of the game, Abu looked at Li Luo after thinking for a moment and said: "There is a lot of information exposed in this game."
"Well, although this is just the first B tactical intention of the playoffs for them, it is completely different from the regular season. It even gives people a feeling of being a bright star."
Li Luo said thoughtfully.
He couldn't remember clearly how RNG performed in the playoffs before the rebirth.
However, judging from the performance of the rng team today, there are still traces of rng's ability to win the championship.
When watching rng games before, Li Luo was just a passerby.
Nowadays, we look at the game from the perspective of a professional player and as an opponent.
This feels naturally different.
Audiences often cannot do without three words when looking at a version.
"Impression flow."
What kind of style does a team have and what method does it use to win the championship? Then it spreads on the Internet, and then the editor publishes an article on the self-media to follow the rhythm, and the team suddenly becomes famous.
will be labeled with this style.
For example, in the s7 season that just ended, many players don’t understand that the incense burner has only become popular since the World Championship version. They only heard that s7 is the incense burner version and is the last swan song of adc, so they subconsciously think that the entire s7 is
Incense burner version.
The same is true for rng.
When talking about S8's RNG before rebirth, the audience will subconsciously think of the four words "Flag of Command".
But judging from the first game of the playoffs, rng did not rely on the flag of command, but was very close to the current version.
The letme in the top lane position and the attitude of the new players seem to be based on the model of the ig team in the s7 season.
Letme only plays blue-collar top laners and only plays meat.
The posture will be biased toward some half-tank, half-DPS heroes, or Fatan-type heroes like "Crow" that are appropriate for the current version.
Xiaohu became more and more brave thanks to the buff of the Tiger Emperor of Spring.
Although Xiangguo is occasionally unstable, his style of play is destined to tear holes in the line that helps rng in the early stage. In the later stage, his bold and courageous team-building method is unparalleled in the entire LPL, even if his playing style is the same.
Ning Wang, who tends to be fierce and reckless, cannot be like Xiangguo, who would rather help his teammates without eating anything.
As for the bottom lane...
Li Luo thought for a moment and said: "The key point of this bo5 is still in the bottom lane. If rng and ig meet later, it's hard to say who will lose and who will win, but the main reason for winning or losing must not be around the bottom lane."
"In these three games, both rng and we chose to kill Kai'Sa."
Li Luo said slowly: "Ka'Sa is the strongest hero in the version. There will be a lot of uncertainty when it is released, so it makes sense to eliminate this unstable factor. Compared with Kai'Sa in this version, there is one
A better choice would be Varus."
"We are obviously aware of this, so they also won a game of Verus, but rng used the relatively weak Xia to gain an advantage when facing Verus. This should have caught us off guard.
."
"As for RNG's choice of the hero Varus, my brother-in-law couldn't handle it. This is the reason why we lost the game."
Abu nodded: "So if we have a chance to meet rng, will it be difficult to deal with it?"
"There will be a little bit on the bp."
Li Luo did not deny it. He nodded and continued: "The hero Verus's laning strength is already relatively high. After the changes to the Q skill in the previous version, this version has returned to the normal AD equipment style, with towers.
Mu's life-saving ability is also exaggerated... and this version is very suitable for Uzi. He can skillfully control heroes such as Ezreal, Kai'Sa, Varus, Policewoman, Xayah, etc., and his laning ability is very strong.
.”
Seeing Abu's eyes gradually becoming serious, Li Luo paused slightly: "But it doesn't matter, I'm stronger."
As soon as these words came out, Abu looked at Li Luo in astonishment.
In his impression, Li Luo was not someone who liked to talk wildly...
Li Luo seemed to see what Abu was thinking, and smiled and said: "Privately, whatever you say, if this is in a promotional video, it should be kept low-key."
"You kid..."
Abu shook his head in confusion.
In his eyes, even Ming Kai is considered a child.
Not to mention the younger Li Luo.
But whether he should say it or not, Li Luo's words made Abu feel relieved a little.
Last spring and summer, their edg just missed out on the championship.
Counting the time, it has been about a year and a half since I won the LPL championship.
Many people on the Internet feel that edg has declined.
They...it's time they need a champion to prove themselves.
…
The playoffs of the lpl spring season are proceeding in an orderly manner.
When the game on the 15th ended, rng had already surpassed two teams in a row.
In the same group as edg, the rw team also showed their heroic style. After blg crossed JD.com and joined them, they successfully defeated blg with a score of 3 to 1 and advanced to the next round, becoming edg's first playoff showdown.
The opponent the lieutenant general will face.
The two teams have met once before in the German Cup.
At that time, the rw team was easily defeated by edg 2-0.
However, in this spring regular season, the growth rate of the rw team is obvious to the audience.
It's just that the suspense of this game in the eyes of the audience is not very great.
Even if rw is strong, they must consider the factor of "team style restraint" when facing edg.
doinb often performs better when facing teams whose mid laners are not very strong in laning.
For example, this was the case when they faced RNG in the regular season. Once the four-pack-two strategy is activated, Sima Laothi will take off directly, and the opponent's bottom lane will be very uncomfortable.
But when rw faced ig, they were beaten very miserably. Doinb couldn't move at all in the middle. He couldn't move, so the four-pack-two tactic naturally couldn't be started.
The same goes for edg.
Although Li Luo's style of play in the spring game attracted enough attention.
But the audience clearly knows that the junior's strength is steadily improving.
In the past, my junior high school students were very capable in laning, but the problem was that they were prone to getting sick in the middle and late stages.
But now that edg has Li Luo's command, as a member of the team, the junior's illnesses have significantly reduced after being influenced by the team.
This is the chemical reaction between players.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
The semi-final between edg and rw did not last long.
Even though rw tried their best, they still couldn't take away even a small point from edg.
doinb played a Ryze and a Karma in three games, and in the third game he played Lulu.
From the changes in these three heroes, it is not difficult to see doinb’s choices and changes as the game progresses.
Facts have proved that no matter how he changed, it was of no use.
There is a big gap between rw and edg in terms of hard power. Even if the old thief is in very good shape in the spring split, he cannot avoid being suppressed by the combination of Li Luo and meiko.
edg became the first team to reach the finals in the playoffs.
What the audience really cares about is the battle between rng and ig.
If it were at the beginning of the playoffs, most viewers would probably think that it would be difficult for rng to win against ig.
But with the best-of-5 in the first two games of the playoffs, the hearts of many viewers were wavering.
ig...will it really not be shaken by rng?
…
Game day.
Inside the base of the edg team.
The players gathered together as usual, and the combination of fried chicken and Coke made the atmosphere of watching the game much richer.
As the match between the two teams began, the atmosphere became more intense.
"Ka'Sa has been released. In this case, we should take Varus at the same time and Kai'Sa at the same time."
Meiko said thoughtfully.
"Ka'Sa's range is 50 points shorter. This lane feels very difficult to fight."
Xiaotian gives his own opinion.
"Not necessarily, it depends on the ID."
Meiko glanced at Li Luo and said with a smile.
As the game progressed, the cheerful expressions of the EDG players in the training room gradually subsided.
Occasionally, the players on the field will be judged and applauded for their decisions and operations, but the atmosphere is obviously not as cheerful as before the game.
"These two teams... are so good at each other. Did they fight like this in the first round?"
Ming Kai was a little surprised.
The head-to-head ratio is 17 to 17.
In the end, ig narrowly won.
But the level of bloodiness is straight up.
Even a player with Mingkai's style would be excited by the games and operations between the two sides.
This is only the first game and it’s so exciting. How can the rest of the games be good?
The fact was just as Ming Kai expected.
ig won the first game.
In the second game, rng responded immediately and tied the game with a big score.
In the third game after that, rng won again and gained match point.
When this game ended, it was a big gain for the edg team.
Especially as a coach, Abramovich is taking notes in a small notebook.
Because the second and third rng showed their first big move in this playoffs.
Upper middle vampire swing.
Letme's first-hand vampire was only effective in the second game. Ig felt it could handle it and released it for the third time.
As a result, rng swayed the vampire to the middle.
This sway made Ig stunned.
In the fourth game, they had to adjust their tactics and chose to kill Uzi's Kai'Sa, who performed very steadily in every game.
As a result, Uzi chose Varus, and the bottom lane still exploded.
If it weren't for Rookie's fourth blood c, IG would be gone again.
Xiangguo’s wild gank training method of the shy made ig’s top lane a bit overwhelming.
Due to helplessness, ig could only switch to duke and try to adjust.
But in the life-and-death game, rng stepped up its tactics again.
They let Stance use a rare hero like the Alchemist to fight against Duke's Ornn.
And this kind of confrontation really worked wonders.
Amid the shouts of the commentators and the cheers of rng fans on site, rng became the team that won the final.
The "see you in the finals" that King Ning said during the last competition disappeared like smoke in the past.
This is the variability of e-sports, and it is also the cruelty of e-sports.
It’s the same script as before Li Luo’s rebirth.
The LPL Spring Split is another exciting battle between pigs and dogs.
Only this time... the final result is hard to say.
