LPL can enter the finals through the top eight. It can be seen that the two strongest teams in LCK are in the lower half, and the LCK team in the upper half is only GEN, whose performance is obvious to all. Whether RNG enters the semi-finals or EDG enters the semi-finals, it has the strength of World War I in the face of GEN or C9, and the winning rate is not small. Therefore, everyone must be confident that the LPL team will enter the finals.
Of course, you can't be arrogant if you have confidence, because there are many examples of strong teams turning over in BO5 in the S-match. For example, SSG 2065 438+07 won the championship, G2 2065 438+08 unexpectedly defeated RNG, and G2 2065 438+09 defeated DWG. If it can be done, LPL must not be careless. In a word, I believe LPL will be able to adjust its state in the next competition. Let's cheer for LPL!
Is this really the worst year for LPL? Before the start of the World Cup, Ning, a wild player before IG, said in the live broadcast that this year may be the best year to be mentally prepared, which also caused a lot of heated discussions. Looking back a month later, Ning's point of view seems to have some truth, because after the group match of S 1 1, only the four teams advanced to the quarter-finals, but both LNG and LNG lost in the group match, which was somewhat unexpected.
Also before the start of S 1 1, some people imagined that all four teams of LPL would advance to the quarter-finals, but when they really entered the quarter-finals, all four teams of LCK would advance. Is the rule of LCK really continuing? After all these years, LPL is still afraid of North Korea?
Both FPX and LNG have a high probability of qualifying. So many lost games can be promoted as long as they win any one, but the result is already like this, so they can only accept it helplessly. In the second round of the group stage, FPX lost to C9 first, then to RGE, and then to RGE again in the play-offs. FPX's S 1 1 World Tour ended like this, and the opponent was only the third seed in Europe and America.
The S9 World Champion, together with the total defeat in the second round of the group stage, appears in the history of FPX team, which we don't want to see. As the second seed of LPL, we lost to European and American teams, which is a bit disgraceful. In a sense, FPX has created a reverse history. Once upon a time, even though it was difficult to beat LCK team, it was naturally easy to beat LEC team and LCS team.
Unexpectedly, FPX is not the end, and LPL's defeat to European and American teams continues. After the group stage, EDG in Group B lost to 100t, and failed to get the right to play-offs, so we had to go out in the second place, RNG in Group C lost to FNC, LNG in Group D lost to TL first, and then lost to MAD twice.
This also means that in the S 1 1 World Cup, all the four LPL teams in the second round of the group stage were defeated, with 0 wins and 8 losses, without winning a game. People inevitably ask: what happened to LPL? I used to be afraid of North Korea, but now I am not only afraid of North Korea, but also afraid of LEC and LCS? In the end, LPL changed its route, or they became stronger. Even last year's S 10, LPL would not be like this against European and American teams, and Europe and the United States were abused wantonly. Did LPL change course or did they get stronger?
In the quarter-finals, only two qualifying teams RNG and EDG met in advance. I want to know whether LPL is another year of missing the championship and whether LCK's rule will continue. As a new force, DK won the championship in S 10, followed by S 1 1. DK joined hands with T 1, GEN and HLE to successfully reach the quarter-finals. Although T 1 and HLE will stage civil wars in advance, LCK will definitely lock in an S 168 as long as DK does not make mistakes.
Judging from the draw for the quarter-finals, although LPL civil war is inevitable, it will lock in the quarter-finals. In addition, compared with the teams in the second half, the strength of GEN and C9 is relatively weak, and the probability of LPL entering the final is greater, which may be the best news for LPL to enter the quarter-finals. As for whether S 1 1 is the best year for LPL, we might as well wait for the following. On the one hand, the group match is BO 1, which is the best for European and American teams. In addition, the intensity of the knockout will be further increased.
