IG is the champion of S8 because these three teams are frequent visitors to the world series and the most experienced teams in foreign wars. If these three teams represent LPL in the world series, the audience will have a bottom. However, apart from IG, RNG and EDG are difficult to enter the world series. Because IG holds the advantage of points, as long as it gets the top four results in the playoffs, it can directly enter the World Series as the second seed. Even if they travel in the playoffs and lose to LNG, they still have a chance to soak.
On the other hand, RNG and EDG are in a state of fluctuation. Although they escaped and did not enter the same half area as IG and RNG, those who did not have points had to put on a good show before they were eligible to participate in the bubble competition, beating SN, BLG and FPX all the way to the final. It is estimated that even EDG fans are not optimistic that they can do it, so it can be said that EDG is only possible in theory.
RNG will be better than EDG. You don't have to be in the finals to have a chance to participate in the world series. You can play bubble games in the first three playoff games. But this situation means that IG will be eliminated early. If RNG doesn't win the championship, it will also meet IG in the bubble competition. Even though RNG has never lost to IG in the history of BO5, the result is hard to say in this season's state. When EDG is almost doomed to go out, IG will join hands with RNG to enter S9, and the conditions are also very harsh. Therefore, it is estimated that only one of the three teams can represent LPL this year. Who would you choose to support?
In addition, one of the three teams, FPX and TES, does such a lineup LPL have a chance to win the championship? FPX and TES are participating in the world series for the first time from team history to team members, and their experience is equal to zero. It can be said that they are racing with G2, TL and LCK, which are now considered as the top teams in the world. LPL viewers may need to be prepared in advance. S9 may be the worst performance of LPL since the last World Championships. Then can you forgive them?
