With LNG successfully beating OMG, all ten teams in the 2022 LPL Spring Playoffs have been released. They are V5, RNG, JDG, LNG, TES, WBG, EDG, BLG, RA, and FPX. Although there is still one RNG and OMG game to play in the regular season, and this game will also determine the final ranking of the two teams RNG and JDG (the final ranking of the second and third places in the regular season), this does not affect the division of the ten teams in the playoffs. Therefore, from the current situation, the five teams of BLG, RA, TES, LNG and V5 will be divided into the first half of the zone; while the five teams of EDG, FPX, WBG, RNG and JDG will be divided into the lower half.
However, it is interesting that such a zoning situation also has an interesting phenomenon. That is, there is only one LPL champion in the first half, and this team is the TES team; in the second half, there is only one team that has not won the LPL title, and this team is the WBG team. That is to say, there are five teams that have won the LPL in this playoff, they are TES, EDG, FPX, RNG and JDG, while the other five teams that have not won the LPL are BLP, RA, LNG, V5 and WBG. And if it is judged from the honors won, this lower half can be regarded as the death half.
Among them, the EDG team has the largest number of champions, so far, EDG has won a total of six LPL championships; then there is the RNG team, which has won a total of four LPL championships; and the other three teams, TES, FPX, and JDG, have each won an LPL championship. In particular, the two teams of EDG and RNG, although they have experienced lows, but in most seasons, these two teams have always been able to maintain a certain degree of competitiveness, and the old giants of the LPL are well deserved.
However, although five LPL champion teams have successfully reached the playoffs this time, from the overall situation of those teams that have not yet won the LPL championship, there is still a possibility of a "new king" being born in this spring game.
First, there's the V5 team. From zero wins last season to first place in the regular season this season, Rookie and Karsa, two star players, bring endless possibilities to V5. Moreover, because they have won the first place in the regular season, they have won the "resurrection armor" in the playoffs and are also very advantageous from the strategic position. That said, if V5 can maintain their excellent performance in the regular season and improve their status again during this time, they are very likely to compete for the championship. In addition, the V5 team's Rookie and Karsa have won the LPL championship, so there is no need to worry about their playoff performance.
Second, WBG did not perform well at the end of the regular season, but judging by their hard power, they also have the possibility of winning the championship. Because WBG has shown us in the regular season how horrible they are when they "don't do things". So, WBG's recent poor performance may be a good thing for them. Because of this, they will reflect more deeply on their own problems. And before the playoffs officially start, completely solve their internal problems and play their own competitive level.
Of course, in addition to V5 and WBG, the three teams of BLG, RA and LNG that have not won the LPL championship are also full of possibilities. After all, the teams that can make it into the playoffs are considered strong teams. However, compared with V5 and WBG, because of their comprehensive performance in the regular season, it will be more difficult for them to compete for the championship in the playoffs.
Dear friends, do you think this playoff game will give birth to a "new king"?
