In terms of LEC division, the first and second rounds of the playoffs have ended, and are currently in the summer finals stage, a total of 8 teams, according to the results of the playoffs, are divided into the winner's group and the loser's group, the winner's group is MAD, BDS, G2, XL, and the loser group is FNC, TBO, SK, TBQ, it is worth mentioning that Jankos and Perkz did not enter the finals, and also did not qualify for the S game.

The LCS Playoffs Final Four roster is announced

Today we will mainly talk about the LCS division, because the progress of the North American competition, much faster than Europe, but slightly slower than LCK, has also reached the playoff final four stage, first briefly talk about the format, LCS playoffs are double-elimination games, the top 6 teams, the first round has a repechage A, and the two teams ranked 5-6, there is no repechage A, the winner group has 2 rounds, and the loser group is 3 rounds.

After many battles, the final four places have now been released, the winner group has C9 and NGR, the loser group is TL and GG, NGR is a big dark horse team, only fifth in the regular season, but the playoffs played 3:1 for two consecutive games, defeated the second ranked GG and the fourth TL in the regular season, and then NGR will face C9, and in the loser group, TL will also face GG, not surprisingly, C9 is still the champion.

Rich became a sinkhole, and Jensen missed the World Championship for the first time

The teams that lost in the first and second rounds of the loser group, TSM, 100T, EG, DIG, have been determined to miss the S13 World Championship, plus FLY, IMT that have not even entered the playoffs, the entire LCS promotion team, is relatively clear, in the eliminated team, there are many players we are familiar with, such as 100T's master brother Doublelift, DIC's upper single Rich, and the team's single Jensen.

After Rich moved to North America, it seems that he did not play the price, but became a breakthrough for the team, in the just-concluded game, a hand of Jianji in the third game, directly played 0-7, raised the fat old black to pit his teammates miserable, and Jensen as the best performing singles in the North American World Championship, career 9 years, but also the first time did not participate in the World Championship, before Jensen broke into the World Championship for 8 consecutive years, S7 also eliminated EGD.

LCS/LEC, one of the divisions has 4 places

After the reform of this S competition, LCK and LPL in the four major divisions are still 4 world championship places, while LCS and LEC are a new place, but to get this place, you need to compete between the two divisions, in the case of its own three places, want to get the fourth place, as long as you advance to the final four, you basically have the qualification, so the current four finals of LCS have a chance.

However, after the adjustment of the S competition, the third and fourth seeds in the four major divisions do not need to participate in the finals, directly in the Swiss round to fight, LEC and LCS extra places, no matter who gets, need to participate in the play-ins, and the wild card division's team, competing for the Swiss round place, the difficulty of 8 into 2 is actually not small, but to be able to enter the LCS semifinals, compared to playing wild card teams, it is still easy to handle.

Epilogue:

The two major divisions in Europe and the United States, there is no such event as the Asian Games, so the progress of the entire schedule is relatively slow, LCK is also about to compete for the final team, but the birth of the champion is on August 25, the current LPL Asian Games players, has begun training, LCK Division does not seem to be in a hurry, I don't know if such a schedule, will not affect the runners run-in, if it will, the probability of LPL winning the gold medal may be higher.
