Foreword: As the second seed of LPL, FPX was dismal in the S11 group stage of this League of Legends, stopping in the round of 16. The 5 people in the team are all S-champions, but they have lost to the weak brigades one after another, which has disappointed many old fans. It is understandable to be killed by DK doubles, after all, DK is the no. 1 seed of LCK, has strong hard strength, and has also successfully reached the final. However, the defeat to c9 and RGE is somewhat difficult to understand, after all, many commentators and insiders before the game are very optimistic about fpx, thinking that they can get back what they lost in the world. After bidding farewell to the S11 stage, the players have also begun to broadcast one after another, and their whereabouts have become the focus of everyone's discussion.
As an s10 champion on the list, Nuguri joined fpx for a time to let many Phoenix fans see hope. Because the team fell directly at S10, it did not even break into the world championship. The arrival of Niu Bao seems to be able to make the team like a tiger, and even some reports say that Niu Bao's transfer fee is as high as 1800w. In the follow-up matches, Niu Bao's performance is also worthy of his own value, although there are times when he is not in good shape, but he c more innings. In a live broadcast in early November, Niu Bao admitted that he did not regret coming to China, but he did not behave well, he did not work hard enough, and his interpersonal relationship with his teammates was not particularly good, which was a pity.
In the eyes of many water friends, Niu Bao's words basically hammered the news of the return to LCK. And his contract has arrived, becoming a free man, and returning to LCK may be a better option for him. Because through the team voice before fpx, Niu Bao's Chinese level is not as strong as viper and doinb, and he has very few words, plus his personality is more introverted. So he's more suited to the dk, or the lck team that plays around the unit. Since Khan is going to serve after playing S11, it is very likely that Niu Bao will return to DK. But interestingly, fpx bought NiuBao, but also disguised to help edg a lot, if Niu Bao is still in DK, then DK's single short board is no longer there, edg's odds will probably be much smaller.
However, on the other hand, FPX's senior Shang shan Jingong revealed a piece of good news, that is, he revealed in the live broadcast that he had participated in the trial training, and it is likely to return to LPL to play the game, but the specific team to join has not yet been determined. As a conscience Korean aid, Jingong in the heart of lpl water friends has always been the ultimate blue-collar single, plus the follow-up is on the single tank version, so many viewers are still looking forward to the return of Jingong, before there was news that Jingong joined the ra is more likely, if you can work with Doinb again, the program effect is really full.
Penguin Esports Abu once said that fpx is a team with distinctive characteristics, and they are more affected by the version. The author still agrees with Abu's point of view, because the strong period of fpx is the time when the version is most favorable to them, especially the medium single hybrid tank version, fpx is playing well.
To a certain extent, this is also related to the style of doinb, as well as the way they are good at playing, that is, stabilizing in the middle of the road, resisting pressure on the single, choosing a strong field, and then Nakanosuke's various rhythms in the early stage. Nuguri is a style that can stabilize c, and is often "stocked" after fpx, so nowadays, nuguri is also playing a little suffocated in fpx. So what do you think is the root cause of the fpx's fiasco on S11?
