At the end of the race day on July 10, LNG2:1LGD, NIP2:0RA.
After LNG defeated LGD, it surpassed TES to reach third in the league, and after NIP defeated RA, RA, AL, FPX and other teams lost playoff opportunities while there was no possibility of catching up with RNG, which locked up the ninth playoff spot.
Nine teams have secured spots for the 2023 LPL Summer Playoffs: BLG, JDG, TES, LNG, OMG, WBG, WE, EDG, RNG.
Confirmed missed playoffs: LGD, IG, AL, FPX, RA, UP.
Today's game UP vs TES, AL vs OMG and WE vs JDG. Today's three games do not involve playoff spots, just affect the standings.
In the UP and TES competitions, if TES wins, they will overtake LNG to third place, in AL and OMG competitions, if OMG wins, they will surpass WBG to fifth place, and if WE wins, they will also move up the rankings.
At present, there is still 1 promotion place in the LPL league, only NIP and TT teams have a chance to get the last spot, NIP is now only one step away from the playoffs, TT needs to overcome strong opponents plus NIP make mistakes to have a chance to fight, simple analysis.
NIP (7-7), next opponents FPX, LNG, NIP after defeating RA, one foot has stepped into the playoffs. NIP only needs to win FPX or LNG to lock up a playoff spot.
Compared with TT opponent JDG, one of NIP's opponents, FPX, is relatively simpler, and the initiative is also in its own hands, occupying many advantages.
TT (5-9), next opponents LNG, JDG, playoffs are a theoretical possibility for TT. TT wants to qualify, it needs NIP to make mistakes, NIP needs to lose all the next two games, and it needs to win both of its own games.
LNG and JDG are too strong and currently rank second and third in the league respectively. At the same time, LNG and JDG also intend to compete for a higher ranking and get the repechage A, so it is unlikely to be taken lightly. Suffice it to say that TT has a chance but it is difficult.
There are still extreme cases, if NIP loses 1-2 in two games and TT wins 2-1 in two games, both sides have the same points, both are 7 wins. However, NIP defeated TT 2-1 in the summer game on June 18, and NIP will also advance to the playoffs according to the win-loss relationship.
TT as a whole can't make a mistake at all.
At present, the probability of NIP locking in the tenth playoff ticket is much greater than that of TT. However, TT has defeated the OMG and EDG playoffs in recent games, and its form has recovered, and it remains to be seen whether it can create a miracle.
