Foreword: With RNG losing 1-2 to LGD, it also announces the end of the 2022 summer season regular season games, and it also means that the situation in the playoffs is clear. In this issue, let's talk about the situation in the playoffs and talk about some of the things that have happened this season.
The suspense of the resurrection armor battle was left to the last moment
Everyone knows that the top two teams in the regular season will have a resurrection first division qualification, and this qualification has been contested from the beginning of the season until the end. Because LGD beat RNG 2-1, it had to be LGD at the end of the season. Now RNG is the same as V5, but the small score is behind V5, which is why their regular season final result this season is fixed at the fourth place in the regular season, and JDG is the last place to get the resurrection A. In fact, even the last-minute initiative of the game is still in the hands of RNG itself, but it is a pity that the "water ghost" LGD shattered the dream of resurrecting the armor. Finally, I have to say that Jinjiao's Parker really has a hand.
Incheon, Icelanders, and Parisians are all assembled
It is worth mentioning that although 2 of the LPL's 3 S championship teams have fallen apart, this time it is considered to be a joint promotion to the playoffs. In 18 years, IG got Rookie, Theshy and JKL, and 19 years FPX got Tian, Doinb, LWX and Liu Qingsong plus 22 years of EDG staff. It can be said that incheons, Icelanders, and Parisians are all assembled, plus an MSI champion RNG, and it is conceivable how fierce the playoff competition this time will be. It's just a pity that although IG and FPX veteran players have all been promoted, they can only be described as a thing and a person, which is somewhat emotional.
The top three MVP list: Little Tiger, Xun, Knight
In the regular season individual MVP rankings, the Tigers are tied for second place with IG's xun with 11 times, followed by Knight's 10 times. Judging from this ranking of MVP, it can be seen that the tiger and the left hand are still very carryy at this stage of the regular season, and the team's own record is also excellent, if the playoff TES meets RNG again, it will feel like a very heavyweight BO5.
Here to highlight is Xun, IG's record is very dismal, the big score is only 5 wins and 11 losses, a win-win under 18 BO1 games, xun got MVP accounted for up to 61%, IG who in C I think this time there is no doubt about it.
Playoff Match: RNG Farewell to Death Half Zone?
Finally, let's come back to this playoff match. The upper half is TES, RNG, EDG, OMG, FPX; The lower half are JDG, V5, WBG, LNG, BLG. In fact, I personally feel that the strength of the two halves is still relatively balanced, and in addition to themselves, there are also the last S champion and the new MSI champion. As for OMG and FPX, it feels like they can't go too far, and it is highly likely that this group will end up being a contest between these 3 teams. Another division, JDG and V5 individuals seem to be similar in strength, WBG and LNG although the ranking is quite high, but the overall depth of the lineup is still very high, so the second half of the district will feel that 4 teams are likely to rush forward. In terms of the intensity of the competition, the second half of the area will be higher.
Conclusion: In fact, there was originally a good script for RNG, but unfortunately, LGD at the end of the season once again incarnated as a big water ghost. I hope to adjust it in the next time, after all, the spring game has a lot of points, there is a bubbling race at the bottom, and the pressure is not too much.
Finally, which half do you think is harder to beat? Welcome to the comments section.
