Foreword: On the evening of February 20, the 5th week of the League of Legends LPL Spring Tournament officially came to an end, and finally RNG defeated LNG to unlock the 7th victory of the Spring Tournament. In accordance with the principle of "9 wins and steady progress, 8 wins to see the face", RNG has basically stepped into the door of the spring playoffs with one foot. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the top 5 in the current spring standings, in addition to V5, the team names of other teams are XXG, so it has also been ridiculed by water friends as LPL ushered in a 5G pattern. RNG, LNG, EDG are all teams that will go to the S tournament in 2021, and WBG has obviously improved after the introduction of THESHY, and the spring champion is likely to be born in these 5 teams.
RNG is full of toughness to win LNG, and I haven't seen Zhu Kai so excited for a long time
I have to say that RNG fans have become more and more Buddhist in the past two years, after 18 years of "1020 tragedy" and S9 group stage out, RNG fans' ability to resist pressure has gradually increased. However, when 0-1 behind LNG, I believe many fans still feel a little flustered, because they did not expect that RNG would lose so badly in the first set, especially Nakano's performance was completely suppressed by LNG. However, RNG seemed to wake up from the second set, and the tactics against DOINB worked wonders, and ALE's mistake allowed RNG to successfully equalize.
After entering the decider, LNG still did not respond well to the tactical adjustment of RNG, and was finally completed by RNG to let 1 chase 2. Seeing RNG perform like this, in addition to the extreme excitement of fans, Guan Bo was also obviously very excited, and edited the documentary for the first time. From the documentary, it can be clearly seen that when RNG won the LNG, "Shi Yi Tang" Zhu Kai was particularly excited, and even his hands began to tremble, and many water friends also said that they had not seen Zhu Ge so excited for a long time, because the pressure he carried may be really great.
The little tiger hinted at the sword finger S race, and the whole spring race may be a run-in period
In the interview of the English stream after the game, Xiaohu also revealed a lot of important information, first of all, when they learned that LNG was going to fatten up the road, the team put the focus on the road, that is, to protect the BIN point, and to ensure that BIN can have a better chance to enter the field, and focus on the opposite DOINB clockwork and Jinx, the result achieved good results, rather than insisting on the Nakano confrontation like the first innings.
Secondly, Xiaohu said that the spring game of RNG is a honing process, and they are carrying out a set of more difficult training methods, that is, the 5 people in the team must complement other positions regardless of the hero pool or the coordination, so that although the formation is slower, the state will be slower, but as long as the practice is completed, the upper limit will be higher. This is tantamount to suggesting that RNG is referring to the Summer Race and subsequent S Races, possibly strategically abandoning the Spring Championship and MSI. After all, Zhu Kai also said before that the team has only one goal, that is, the final S championship.
Summary of personal analysis
Through the EDG in 2021, the spring team did not run into the best state and failed to participate in the MSI, but this gave EDG more adjustment and rest time, which helped EDG complete a new breakthrough in the summer game and make EDG more energetic, at that time, Zhu Kai was also in the EDG team, and then it is likely that RNG will copy the previous EDG model and training mode.
And objectively speaking, the team that EDG is most afraid of in the S11 World Championship is RNG, which also shows that the overall strength of RNG is very strong, coupled with the introduction of BIN this season, so RNG is fully underpinned by the S crown. From the end of the LNG winning streak, it can also be seen that the adjustment and run-in of RNG have improved, and I believe that RNG can also bring more surprises to fans in the subsequent games. So the final question is, what do you think is the upper limit of this RNG?
