From April 6 to April 7, 2024, Beijing time, the League of Legends LPL Spring Playoffs will usher in the two semi-finals of NIP vs. BLG and TES vs. JDG in these two days. It is worth mentioning that because they all won the "Resurrection A", even if the team that loses this game still has a chance in the lower bracket. So, what are the highlights of these two days of competition? Let's find out!
April 6 NIP VS BLG
Judging from the last time the two teams met, it happened to be in the final battle of BLG. At that time, BLG almost managed to sweep NIP with an aggregate score of 2-0 with almost a full advantage. In particular, Bin's two sword demons in a row played a very good suppression in the face of Shanji. In addition, NIP's core midlaner Rookie did not play very well against BLG's yellow card knight, and knight's performance of two consecutive Ahri was very impressive. In other words, judging from the overall situation of these two teams, the one who can really pose a threat to the BLG team is the mid-laner Rookie. Whether Song Yijin can be trusted will be the key to whether NIP can take revenge on BLG.
For BLG, with almost all the advantages in the field, how to take advantage of the NIP playoff matchups and study their playoff strategies and playing styles is quite crucial. In addition, although BLG entered the playoffs in the first place in the regular season, this actually means that they have not played an official game for nearly 10 days, and how to maintain their competitive state in the official game during this time has become a test for them. Of course, since they can be the first in the regular season, I believe that this will not cause them too many problems. And in this game, I believe that as long as BLG can play at the level of the regular season, it may not be difficult to win NIP.
Judging from the professional analysis given by the professional e-sports prediction platform, BLG has obtained an index of 1.16 and NIP has obtained an index of 5.27. From the index point of view, BLG still has a great advantage.
4月7日 TES VS JDG
Compared with the match between BLG and NIP, the matchup between TES and JDG should be the most suspenseful one in the final four. Judging from the regular season of the two teams, the outstanding performance of JDG newcomer Sheer Weapon Master actually helped the team defeat TES a lot. However, it is worth mentioning that in the more intense playoffs, JDG sent the veteran top laner Saint Gun as the starter, and the Saint Gun lived up to expectations, and the three consecutive MVPs proved their value to return to the game. And JDG's situation is bound to make TES need to think more when arranging tactics, which naturally puts more pressure on 369.
In addition to the duel on the road, if TES wants to complete the revenge against JDG, the play of the jungler position Xiaotian is crucial. Because whether it is the last meeting between the two teams, or the hot form of JDG jungler Kanavi in the playoffs, it is clear that Kanavi is still the best rhythm driver for JDG. In such a situation, Xiaotian is bound to take on more responsibilities and pressure to face Kanavi. Once TES can play an advantage from the jungler position, I believe it can play a very big role in limiting JDG. But if Xiaotian still can't limit Kanavi, for TES, he can only pray that the players on the line can play at a better level.
According to the professional analysis given by the professional esports prediction platform, TES has obtained an index of 1.90 and JDG has obtained an index of 1.90. In terms of index, the strength of the two teams is indeed equal.
Finally, ladies and gentlemen, which two teams do you think will win the first round of the semi-finals?
