HLE swept KDF to advance to the next round of the playoffs, and GEN is about to face a two-choice problem
After the end of the 2024LCK spring regular season, the playoffs will officially start on the 30th, and the series between HLE and KDF will start first, but for this game, in fact, everyone can roughly expect the result before the game, although KDF has performed well this season, it is still far from a real strong team.
Not surprisingly, in the end, the game ended quickly with 3-0, HLE achieved crushing with absolute strength, the lineup of HLE in the first two games was almost the same, the multi-core lineup plus a solid front row, easily won the match point, the third game HLE took out the robot in the lower road, and as a result, KDF went from the bottom to the middle, and was directly hooked by the robot delight, and in 20 minutes, HLE easily won the big dragon to expand the economic difference to more than 10,000, and finally won the game under the delight robot hook, 0 for 5。
After winning the game, KDF also went straight out of the playoffs today, but they got a guaranteed 10 World Championship points. HLE will advance to the next round of the semi-finals and will automatically qualify for the repechage. The series between KT and DK on the 31st will also come as scheduled, and after that match, all the top four teams of this year's LCK Spring Tournament will be selected, and the next choice question is, who will GEN choose?
According to the rules of the LCK, GEN, who finished first in the regular season, has the power to choose opponents in the playoffs, and for GEN, one of the selections has now been decided. According to historical data, in the past few seasons, GEN has a win rate of 22-6 against HLE, which can be said to be an absolute crushing level, but if DK can beat KT in the second half to advance, then GEN is estimated to have a higher probability of choosing DK, the reason is that DK has played very outrageously in the regular season in the past few weeks, and persimmon picks soft pinch, which everyone understands.
As the second place in the regular season, T1 can only passively choose GEN to pick the remaining teams, but among the current three teams, T1 probably wants to meet HLE the last time. GEN is in a different half, so they will either meet in the lower bracket or in the final.
