With the end of last week's major divisions, now the four major divisions have a lot of new changes, compared to the Asian division, the LEC of the European division has been handed in in advance, I have to sigh at the speed of others, so nonsense, let's enter this issue of the "Global Race Report"
LCS North America
The standings in the North American division are still quite "stable" compared to the previous week, FLY is still in the first place with a strong performance, they successfully won last week's match against 100T and DIG, followed by C9, unchanged from the previous week, but EG, which was tied for second before, suffered a wave of two consecutive defeats last week, losing to DIG and GG, the most exaggerated is the loss to DIG, you know that DIG was the only team in the four major divisions to lose completely, follow WE to send warmth, right?
The rankings of the middle section have basically not changed much, CLG, 100T, TL are only slightly floating, and now there are three weeks left in the LCS spring regular season, although it is not yet certain who can make the playoffs, but the record of DIG is ironclad.
LEC Europe
The Winter Tournament in Europe came to an end this morning, and the previous week, LEC had identified the four teams that would reach the final knockout round, KOI\G2\SK\MAD, and the endgame was also a double-elimination format, although it seemed intense, but the process was a bit crushing.
First of all, G2 defeated KOEI 3-1 to enter the final, SK and MAD played a full five games, and finally the European Lions still had the last laugh, SK eliminated, and then MAD eliminated KOI 3-1, and met G2 in the final final, in the winter final that just ended this morning, no one expected G2 to sweep MAD 3-0 to win the championship.
So far, G2 has won the 10th league championship since its establishment, and it has also become the first team in the world to determine the 2023 MSI Mid-Season Invitational Tournament spot, which is much faster than any other division.
G2, the name of the European phantom god, worthy of the name!
LCK Korea Division
LCK is now in the second round of the regular season cycle, with a revenge and double-kill scenario, LCK is also steadily advancing, but from last week's overall result, T1 is really "unique", sweeping opponents 2-0 against LSB and KT, and currently topping the table with an absolute record of 11-1, and because DRX successfully ended its seven-game losing streak against BRO, T1 also relied on the point advantage to lock in the spring playoffs early.
T1 is followed by GEN and DK, GEN's ranking is unchanged from the previous week, and it was also won smoothly against NS and DRX, and DK was also adjusted in time last week after the haze swept by LSB the week before, defeating KT and KDF, and the most serious decline in the ranking is KT, KT defeated DK and GEN in a row in the 4th week of the regular season, but last week suffered a wave of consecutive defeats, and both lost 0-2, obviously facing strong teams, They still have a bit of stamina.
The teams in the latter stage BRO, KDF, DRX and NS have basically not changed much, and if the KT line is used as a benchmark, the playoffs are basically the way they are now.
LPL Division
There are many teams in the LPL division, but let's look at the West first, LNG continued its strong performance this week, beating BLG and WBG 2-0 respectively to dominate the top spot, and TES, which finished second the week before, slipped to fourth this week, mainly due to the JDG sweep and EDG's rise in the ranking after beating UP. iG may have suffered four consecutive defeats due to version changes or other reasons in the team, and the last three BO3 games have been lost 0-2, which has become a big problem, so it has plummeted from 5th in the previous week to 8th in the rankings, and I wonder if the easy schedule will help them stay in the eastern half.
Also in poor form is BLG, which has swooped to the top spot in the eastern half, and is opposed to OMG. Last week's attention is also worth paying attention to RNG, since the change of coach and the launch of the new version, they have ushered in a wave of four consecutive wins, but for RNG, the subsequent schedule is also quite devilish.
On the eastern side, the overall change is not much, a wave of losses in RA also made them return here, WE fell into the rhythm of a downturn, has been three consecutive losses, FPX is now six consecutive losses directly at the bottom, the former S9 champion, now this state is really embarrassing, now the schedule is halfway, leaving fewer and fewer opportunities for the team behind.
Other divisions
PSG in the PCS division, since EDG former Junjia joined, it has been a total victory in six games, foreign monks will chant, it is really not wrong, the Vietnamese division also officially started last week, but the sample is currently less so there is no reference value, the SG of the LJL division is currently the only team that still maintains a full victory, they also use BO3 double round-robin, this week will also enter the second round of competition, Latin America has also identified two playoff teams, They are EST and ISG.
OK, the above is this issue of the global match report, as the regular season of the major divisions enters the second half, the competition for playoff tickets will also become the main event, especially for the teams in the four major divisions, this is also the first session after this year's MSI revision, two places, not a wave?
