The League of Legends LPL Summer Tournament has now entered the final sprint stage, with some teams competing for the top two positions in order to get the resurrection armor; Some teams are still fighting for a playoff spot, and LNG clearly belongs to the latter. It can only be said that the actual situation has not been as easy as Doinb said in the live broadcast, and LNG has been defeated by RA, and there is already a possibility of early exit.
The LDL players really didn't move
Halfway through the summer, LNG's coaching staff put Ale on the bench and upgraded Pandac from LDL as the starter. But before playing a few rounds, this young player who was only a substitute in LDL experienced the horror of the top league. Soon after, PandaC's "one-sheep migration" terrier was also on the canteen, and he was under tremendous pressure from the field to the field.
Through the camera, the audience saw him wiping sweat more than once, and after the game, the monitor was full of paper towels. In yesterday's tiebreaker against RA, PandaC chose the crocodile, a hero who has not appeared in the single position for a long time. So many people have speculated that this is LNG after seeing the opposite selection of the demon, temporarily shook the single crocodile on the road.
The end result was a complete rout of LNG.
The loss of this game brought LNG's record to 7-8. If no extreme situation occurs, usually 9 wins can make it to the playoffs, and 8 wins can only look at the faces of other teams. The final battle of LNG is facing WBG. The scene of "Martial Saint" against PandaC is frightening to think about.
If LNG is swept, there is a high probability of missing the playoffs, but the specific situation depends on the small field scores of AL, OMG, FPX, and TT. In other words, the outcome of LNG's finale will determine the success or failure of the entire season.
I don't know if PandaC from the LDL bench can withstand this wave.
The reserved show for T1 fans is coming
If you're in Seoul these days, it's hard not to notice a mid-sized truck with an electronic display. Of course, the above content is not a big promotion in any mall, but a "mobile banner" hired by T1 fans to put pressure on the T1 management.
As LCK's largest fan base, T1's fans are also the strongest in the entire division. Fans of other teams are attacking the team management, and many are dissatisfied with the team's results. But T1's fans seem to be too demanding, only losing 2 games this season, ranking second in the league, and the coach of the team is being accused of being "too amateurish".
The gist of these "mobile banners" is: "Incompetent supervision, relegated coaches, gradually showing lack of ability, the solution to the problem is to bring in coaches with world championship experience." ”
Fans have high hopes for T1, who won the spring tournament and reached the MSI mid-season final, and fully recognized the strength of the players. And since the player has no problem, then the problem must be with the coach. With this as a starting point, T1 fans in the past two weeks are continuing to put pressure on management.
As for this behavior of fans, Faker expressed his opinion in an interview: "No matter what kind of behavior, because it is a fan, I think it is all out of love for the team." In order to be worthy of their affection, hard work is the most important thing. ”
Predictably, the next thing to happen is either for T1 Summer fans to shut up; Or T1 loses, and the coaching staff is more criticized.
"We were champions before you came"
An embarrassing thing happened in the League of Legends Europa League today, but don't get me wrong, it's not LEC, it's the French league LFL. Because European esports clubs are so dispersed, they are divided by geography, and the champions of each league will qualify for the European Masters (equivalent to the LEC sub-league), and the players who perform well will be bought by the LEG team.
The past three European Masters champions have all come from the French league KC team, and our old acquaintance Rekkles is in this team. It was only in the early hours of this morning that KC failed to reach the final four because of a 3-1 defeat to GameWard. This also announced that the KC team had completely disqualified from the Summer European Masters.
During last year's transfer period, Rekkles, a legendary AD player in LEC, announced that he had joined the KC team, and there was an uproar on the Internet. But Rekkles himself has come to terms with the fact that he has moved from the top flight to the academy.
Despite the regular season ruptures, Rekkles eventually led KC to the Spring European Masters and won the championship. At that time, French President Macron even sent congratulatory messages on Twitter.
However, it seems that Rekkles has not been able to continue his dominance in the youth team, and the early exit of the KC team this season also announces that the players will have a longer holiday than in previous years.
After playing professionally for so many years, from S tournaments to the secondary leagues of the sub-leagues, Rekkles may not have pursued results as much as in the past. Even if he announces his retirement at the end of the season, it is not a strange thing.
After all, in those years, we have seen countless legendary players leave the field.
