Chapter 188 Chen Lang's flickering, the fans betrayed on the spot!
As the game progressed, the format of the playoffs became more and more clear. WE and EDG, which staggered into the playoffs in the spring split, played BO5 and almost defeated the spring champions. They failed to enter the playoffs in the summer split.
race.
But this is normal. After all, WE is undergoing a major overhaul in the summer split. Both the middle and lower teams are considered newcomers (xiye, Mystic). WE is investing in the future and starting to train new people. The WE2.0 era is coming.
WE, a traditional strong player, missed the playoffs, and OMG, another strong player, also missed the playoffs. Both entered the playoffs in the spring split and failed to enter the playoffs in the summer split. They are a bit like brothers and sisters, and they are both veteran brands.
The team is here.
It was QG who personally destroyed OMG's hope of entering the playoffs, and UZI made their old club miss the playoffs.
This one victory is all that's missing. Once OMG wins, their current points will be enough to enter the playoffs. It's a pity that a season's hard work failed because of this one difference.
Among the eight teams in the playoffs, M3 became the last one. They have to thank QG, otherwise OMG would have entered the playoffs~
OMG and M3 have the same record, but M3 won the small round points, so they entered the playoffs. This also shows that winning every game is important. There is still a difference between winning the game 2-0 in BO3 and winning 2-1.
of.
Not only in big games, but also in small games, the victory of every game may sometimes determine the life or death of a team.
Sometimes, if you win one more game, you will have a chance to enter the playoffs!
Now that the playoffs are clear, the teams that are sure to miss the playoffs will feel less pressure. The club has also begun to train new players to play and give them practice to increase their experience on the court. Teams like WE, which need players to break in, begin to prepare for next season.
Prepare.
Teams whose rankings have been determined begin to experiment with new lineups and systems so that they can be used in the playoffs and make adequate preparations for subsequent games.
However, the results of several teams still do not clearly distinguish the situation. Winning one more game may lead to a higher ranking.
It seems like we're in the playoffs and the rankings don't mean much, but that's not the case.
The format is like this:
[First Round: Bubble Knockout] After the start of the playoffs, the teams ranked 8th and 7th in the regular season will compete in the knockout round. The loser will be eliminated, and the winner will compete with the 6th in the second round of knockout.
The loser will still be eliminated, and a winner will eventually advance to the "Bubble Positioning Tournament"
[Second Round: Bubble Positioning Tournament] After the start of the second round of bubble positioning tournament, the team that advanced in the previous round will first face the team ranked 5th in the regular season. In this game, the winner will play against the team ranked No. 5 in the regular season.
The loser of the 4th place team will play against the 3rd place team in the regular season. The team that wins these two games will advance to the semi-finals and compete with the 1st and 2nd place teams in the regular season points.
[Third round: Semi-finals] The four teams that finally advance to the semi-finals will determine who their opponents are based on the regular season points ranking. The specific rules are: The 1st place will play against the team with the lower regular season rankings, and the 2nd place will
Play against the high-ranking teams in the regular season. Finally, the championship, runner-up, and third place of the 2015 LPL Summer Playoffs will be determined based on the outcome of the semi-finals.
EDG is currently in second place, behind CP. If they lose to CP, they may become third, which means they have to play an extra BO5.
It mainly depends on the result of the game between QG and LGD. If QG wins, then EDG will have one fewer win than QG, QG will become second and EDG will become third.
If EDG loses, then they will have to look at QG's game results, which is equivalent to looking at other people's faces to determine their ranking.
But if EDG wins, then they will firmly become the second place in the summer regular season. They can play a BO5 in the semifinals and another BO5 in the finals.
If not, as the third place, they need to play a game with the team that advanced from the bubble positioning competition. If they win, they can enter the semi-finals. If they lose, they will be eliminated directly!
Taking on more BO5 means taking on more risks. EDG must hope to enter the semi-finals directly so that they can play games in a leisurely manner.
Before that, they have enough time to rest, adjust, and be able to better observe their opponents, so as to find their opponents' weaknesses and defeat them.
On the other hand, EDG has always been the overlord of the LPL since its establishment. This summer, it was beaten by two teams that climbed up from the LSPL. They are also unhappy and want to unseat each other.
At present, CP has a complete victory record. If EDG can defeat CP, it means that EDG is the only team to defeat CP in the summer split. The gold content of this victory is self-evident.
EDG also hopes to break CP's undefeated streak, not only to prove that they are still the dominant player in the LPL, but also to gain popularity and attention, allowing the audience to see who is the strongest team!
As an EDG who likes marketing, I am definitely not willing to let go of this traffic.
[San Shao Diary] has been posting, EDG has been managing fans, if today's game can defeat CP, it will definitely be a good thing for EDG, with no harm at all!
...
"Brother Lang, I'm a little nervous today!" JackeyLove sat on a chair and looked at the crowd below, with a rare hint of nervousness in his tone.
In today's game against EDG, JackeyLove can feel that this is the largest audience since they played a game!
As the overlord of the LPL, this year they defeated SKT and won the MSI championship. EDG has soared to the sky and is unique among all the clubs in the LPL. In addition, they started operations early and their fan stickiness is very high!
[San Shao Diary] came out like this. It often showed the daily life of the players, and also deliberately dragged the players into prostitution. Although this attracted a lot of traffic and female fans to EDG, it was because this style was accepted by men.
No, it makes some neutral viewers very disgusted with EDG.
In the video, the assistant MEIKO is obviously Chinese, but he takes the initiative to learn Korean to cooperate with DEFT to communicate in the game, which makes some viewers disgusted!
Forget about inviting Han Yuan, forget about crossing the river and burning bridges. Why do you need the Chinese people in the team to learn Korean and communicate with Han Yuan, instead of Han Yuan learning Chinese?
You know, this is the LPL league, not the LCK league. Isn't this ironic?
Let’s look at QG and IG’s Han Yuan. They work hard to learn Chinese to communicate with the Chinese people in the team. This is a sharp contrast.
Therefore, although EDG has many fans, they also have many negative fans due to a series of things.
Black fans are also fans and can increase traffic for EDG, so EDG did not pay attention to these black fans.
"Why are you nervous?" lqs looked at JackeyLove with a smile and said, "So you are still a younger brother, just a little kid."
JackeyLove said directly: "Aren't you nervous facing the MSI champion? And today is our last game. If we win, we can maintain an unbeaten record and set a new record!"
The more you care about something, the more nervous you will be. This is normal, so after JackeyLove said it, lqs was silent for a while.
Indeed, he doesn't want to lose today's game, he wants to create a record of complete victory in the LPL league!
However, the difficulty is indeed a bit high, and today’s opponents are very strong.
Although LGD and EDG have played five full games in the spring finals, and LGD is indeed strong, LGD is different from EDG. LGD is a team that becomes stronger when it encounters a strong one, and becomes weak when it encounters a weak one.
If the opponent is stronger, the game between LGD and the opponent will be more exciting. However, if the opponent is weak, both sides will feed each other. LGD is very unstable, so their ranking in the summer split is not high.
They are not even in the top three, and are not as high as IG with Gemini, which shows how outrageous they are!
But, LGD fans are very happy. They call themselves the Happy Family, and that’s all if they are happy~
Chen Lang looked at the two of them and smiled: "Winning or losing, we are number one. They are the ones who should be nervous. Why should we be nervous?"
"I don't want to lose, I want to win and enter the playoffs." JackeyLove whispered.
Chen Lang said: "We actually have a psychological advantage. They are challengers, and their victory or defeat is very important to the team's ranking. They are the ones who are nervous. If we are nervous, we will not have this advantage."
"In today's game, just play slowly. There is no need to be too aggressive. They will be more anxious than us."
JackeyLove said: "That being said, when I see so many people at the scene, most of them support EDG, I feel even more embarrassed~"
"Then just think of him as our fan, don't look at the sign." Chen Lang then gave a demonstration to JackeyLove.
Chen Lang found Little Peanut and TheShy on the side and told them that EDG fans were sitting in an area below. However, they did not hold up a light sign, telling them that those people were fans of CP and asking them to say hello to them.
Little Peanut and TheShy didn't know that Chen Lang was lying to them. They really smiled and waved to the EDG fan area below, and gave them a big smile.
EDG fans in that area also saw it and were shocked.
"Look, isn't it done?" Chen Lang smiled.
lqs and JackeyLove were also dumbfounded when they saw Chen Lang's cool moves. Did they fool people into lameness?
Zhao Benshan tricked Fan Wei into selling crutches!
The two burst out laughing. Little Peanut and TheShy looked at the two people who were laughing so hard that they couldn't lift their heads and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything funny?"
"Yeah, tell me and it will make me happy." TheShy looks very cold, but in fact he is quite funny.
We usually get along very well with each other, and we talk about everything together. We have always had a good relationship, and the atmosphere in the team is relaxed.
"Someone has been deceived, but I won't say who it is." Chen Lang said seriously, looking at the two people who looked like curious babies.
"Serve!" lqs and JackeyLove gave Chen Lang a thumbs up and praised him.
Chen Lang is usually very ruthless to his enemies when playing games, but he didn't expect that he would be ruthless not only to his enemies, but also to his own people!
This allowed the players to greet EDG fans cordially, and those who didn’t know better thought that the weasels were giving New Year greetings to the chickens~
After this incident, the tension between JackeyLove and lqs was indeed
At this time, the big screen suddenly showed TheShy and Peanut. The two greeted EDG fans, leaving them stunned.
EDG fans did not expect this to happen, and they were also shocked.
The smiles of Little Peanut and Theshy and the reactions of EDG fans made people laugh.
I have to say that EDG does have a lot of female fans and their operations department is really powerful.
Peanut and TheShy both belong to the boy-next-door type. Their shy but sunny smiles stunned EDG fans. They never expected that their rival CP would make their rival fans smile.
"Perhaps, we should be a little more friendly?" thought the EDG fans who had just received a friendly smile.
As a result, several people secretly left their seats and found CP's support light sign from somewhere. They directly raised it and cheered for CP loudly.
"Friendship comes first, competition comes second, and it is good manners to smile and cheer for each other~" These cheering fans comforted themselves in their hearts.
Thinking of the smiles TheShy and Xiaohuahua showed them just now, they couldn't help but feel happy.
To be honest, CP's appearance is much better than that of the entire EDG team. How did he become an EDG fan in the first place?
Oh, there was no CP at that time, so it seems like it’s not too late to be a fan of CP now?
Some fans have already begun to rebel in their hearts. Anyway, they have cheered for the opponent once. It should be okay to cheer again next time in the CP game, right?
Well, it seems that it’s okay to like two teams, and no one stipulates that you can only like one team...
Slowly, some female fans of EDG gradually rebelled, and their thoughts became more and more biased. They felt as if they had become CP.
Chen Lang himself did not expect that his operation, which was originally intended to relieve the nervousness of jacklove and lqs, ended up attracting a wave of fans to his team~
Still fans who come to watch the game and support EDG!
It's very sad for EDG. After all, those who can come to the scene to cheer for the team are true fans!
These fans are different from casual fans. True fans have high stickiness and are not so easy to rebel.
However, most of these rebellious fans are female fans. This is also the result of EDG's operation and drainage. Many girls only care about their appearance, and CP happens to have very good looks, so they rebelled by chance.
…
"CP guys are really polite," Miller said with a smile.
Wawa also smiled on the side: "It's the first time I see a player greeting each other's fans. Could it be that they saw it wrong?"
"How is it possible? They don't know. Brother Lang and the others don't know yet!"
"That's right." The doll smiled.
However, neither of them expected that Peanut and Theshy did admit their mistake, and it was just Chen Lang who did it...
"But it can be seen from this that CP is in very good condition!" Miller said with a smile.
The team members were chatting and laughing among themselves and greeting the audience in a leisurely manner, which showed that their team was in a very relaxed state.
"That's right." Wawa said: "For CP, their regular season is over, and the playoffs are what they should focus on."
Although it is difficult to set a record of undefeated regular season wins, compared with the results in the playoffs, the regular season record is not that important.
If there is no obsession, this game is really not important to CP, and they can even test a new lineup system on EDG.
After all, this game is still very important to EDG, and they will try their best to play it.
EDG itself is a strong team. With such an opponent as a sparring partner, the effect of testing the lineup system will be very good.
"EDG is still a little nervous." The director showed the camera to EDG. The factory director and others looked much more serious, obviously they were under pressure.
"However, they have always been very stable and I believe they are well prepared for today's game."
Wawa nodded and said: "Yes, today is not an ordinary opponent. CP has never been optimistic about their current results. No one will underestimate them anymore."
"The battle between the two sides in the middle will be a focus. I wonder if Pawn can go back alone~"
Miller smiled and said: "You are making trouble!"
Wawa hurriedly shouted: "No, Brother Lang said before that he would kill all the mid laners in the LPL alone, and now only General Pawn is left."
"The two sides will definitely fight fiercely. I can imagine Brother Lang's style of play."
Although it is said that Chen Lang has defeated Pawn in the German Cup alone, the German Cup does not count. After all, it is not a gold-rich game.
"That's right. Pawn should also want revenge. After all, he was killed by a newcomer in a solo. I believe he will remember it. Not to mention that this player has also come to the LPL. He will never forget the opponent!"
While the two were talking, the game started.
Both sides start bp.
As soon as they came up, EDG, as the blue side, banned the spider first.
"They don't have this hero, so the frequency of tower jumps in the early stage will be much lower, and the pressure on our line will be less." Abramovich communicated with the team members.
They were the first to kill Spider, a hero with a strong ability to jump towers in the early stage, because it fit CP's "impulsive" play style too well.
