I didn't choose randomly

Chapter 159 The playoffs are in full swing 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

"Congratulations to IG for successfully winning the last victory in the final game. IG's current record has reached 13-2, temporarily ranking second in the league. When they were ranked above them, they only lost one game to FPX, and this Still lost to IG."

Seeing Ah Shui's final flattening of A point and blasting RW's base, I remember the complex expression on his face. I remember not missing a game from the beginning to the end of this season's IG games.

From the sluggish state at the beginning of the summer split, to the constant changes in the coaching staff, and to the soaring record of IG after Coach Yun Ge took over, he watched all of these.

"Let us wish IG a chance to show its strengths in the playoffs. In the next few days, our LPL regular season will end one after another. You can look forward to the schedule."

"Actually, I don't care too much about IG's schedule. As the second place in the regular season, IG's schedule will definitely be very comfortable. I think the most nervous thing is to meet IG's team in the playoffs."

Guan Zeyuan is also very much looking forward to IG's performance in the playoffs. Judging from the current state, IG players feel very hot. I just hope that their hands will not cool down during the offseason in the past few days.

After winning the match against RW, Yunge did not immediately enter the intense preparation time for the playoffs. He first gave the IG players two days off to deal with their personal affairs, and then waited for the opponents in the playoffs After the allocation, start high-intensity training.

Entering the playoffs, Yunge will not let the players maintain a relaxed state to train like before. Although Yunge has not led the team to play in the playoffs, he knows one thing, the mentality of the playoffs must be tense up.

The knockout games like the playoffs are completely different from the long points games like the regular season. If you lose a game or two in the regular season and make a little mistake, it's not a big deal, as long as you change it later That's it.

As long as the points can be guaranteed to enter the playoffs, the ranking does not actually have any important impact, but the schedule will be a little more difficult. Examples of playing from the end of the playoffs all the way to the finals are not unheard of.

Therefore, the playoffs are a competition system that does not allow failure. It is possible that one carelessness or mistake can lead to the entire regular season, and half a year of hard work will be in vain.

Two days later, Yunge once again arranged for coach Mafa to pay close attention to the details of the players' matches, even the problem of vision. Whether IG will do it on the field is one thing, and whether the coach arranges it is another. thing.

On the second day after the IG players returned to the team, the entire schedule of the playoffs has been released. There are a total of eight teams participating in the LPL playoffs. The top four are FPX, IG, TES and RNG.

IG, as the second in the regular season, was assigned to the lower half. The schedule for the lower half is that EDG and LNG will play the first round first, and then their winners will play the second round with TES. IG will join the battle in the third round. .

They can enter the final by playing a BO5 with the winner of the second round. It can be said that IG's schedule is still very easy. The only thing to pay attention to is to ensure the player's feel in these few days.

In the third round, countless teams lost because they hadn't played for too long. Of course, Yun Ge would not let the players make such mistakes.

When other teams were competing, Yunge arranged high-intensity training for the IG players, at least twelve hours a day, and even two-hour tactical meetings.

The players didn't have too many opinions on this, they also knew the significance of the playoffs, and they didn't have any objections to Yun Ge's increase in training intensity.

The upper half of FPX is also on the same schedule as IG. BLG and SN have to play the first round first, and then the winner of the first round will play against RNG, and the winner of the second round will have the opportunity to play against FPX. Three rounds.

On August 8nd, the playoffs in the upper half started on time. Although this game has nothing to do with the IG team, in order to get more familiar with the opponents in the playoffs, Yunge specially arranged for all IG players to watch the game together. It can be regarded as a simple tactical meeting, and it can also make the players relax.

The first round of the first half of the competition seemed a bit uneventful. SN, as the eighth team in the regular season, faced the fifth team BLG in the regular season, and there was still a slight gap in hard power.

Except for the first round relying on the strong performance of Sima Laozixia to win the next round, all the rest fell into BLG's operation. So began to frantically target the bottom lane.

After SN's misfire in the bottom lane, BLG directly won three games in a row, and SN had no ability to resist at all. Seeing the expressions of the players ending after SN was eliminated, the IG players were not in a good mood.

When IG was young, they also tried the taste of the first round of the playoffs. They really don't want to recall the feeling of working hard for the whole season and ending with one game.

But there is no way, in a knockout match like BO5, it is very painful to be caught by someone's weakness, especially when the tactical reserve is not rich enough, you can only be taken away by the opponent in a wave.

The SN team was like this. After the bottom lane was targeted, the other two lanes did not stand up, and the coaching staff had no way to deal with it. They could only be used by BLG to win three games in a row with the same routine, and were easily taken away [-]-[-].

August 8rd, only one day apart, still in the same conference room, this time the opponents were the EDG and LNG teams in the lower half, the so-called neighbors on Lingshi Road, the two teams did not expect to be able to play against each other in the playoffs .

But in the game, the two teams can be said to be fighting each other, and it is not like a good neighbor who lives in harmony.

In this game, EDG and LNG fought fiercely for five rounds. In the end, LNG was superior and won the game. Throughout the BO5, LNG's Ueno performed very well.

Brother Shengqiang's sword is not old, and his hand feels hot. He beat the sword fairy Jinoo without temper. Sofm's unique jungle thinking made the fledgling Jiejie very uncomfortable.

EDG's middle and bottom lanes are an advantage, but the bottom lane has not so many advantages. A young player like Iboy is not as stable as imagined in a BO5.

In the end, the LNG team performed better and squeezed into the second round. EDG could only regret to lose. EDG, who played in the first round of the spring split, has already confirmed that they will miss the S9 World Championship in the case of another round in the summer split.

After losing the game, the sister on the bench sat on a chair with blank eyes. He seems to have not accepted this fact. Since he joined EDG in S5, this is the first time that the entire season has come to an end at the end of August This is also the first time that EDG has missed the World Championship.

But it was this lesson that made EDG's management and coaches determined to start rebuilding. Every dormancy is to accumulate strength and let themselves fly higher next time.

On August 8th, the second round of the upper half will start, and BLG will face RNG. This time they are not so lucky. As regular players in the playoffs in recent years, it is obvious that RNG's players are more experienced.

Facing the BLG team that likes to procrastinate late-stage operations, Uzi chose to strike hard, allowing BLG to see the dominance of AD in late-stage team battles. In the end, RNG easily won BLG [-]-[-] and advanced to the semi-finals. Their opponent is The long-awaited FPX team.

On August 8th, the second round of the second half of the competition also came as scheduled, and the IG players are also very concerned about this, because the winner of this round will be IG's opponent in the next round.

"Who do you think will be our opponent in the next round?" Looking at the upcoming match, Yun Ge asked the IG players a question.

"It must be TES, the left hand is so strong," King Ning replied without thinking. As an old teammate back then, King Ning chose to stick his left hand without thinking.

Ah Shui thought for a while, and finally agreed with King Ning, "I also think that TES is more likely to win this BO5."

"Tell me your understanding," Yun Ge couldn't deny it, then looked at Ah Shui and asked him to continue his analysis.

"First of all, from the perspective of laning, TES's three lanes are not empty LNG, and the two ADs in the bottom lane are very stable. .”

"And the gap in the middle lane, I agree with Ning Wang's point of view, the left hand is a mid laner with very strong laning ability, not much worse than Rookie."

"But the most important thing in this round of playoffs is the jungler. TES' jungler is very reckless. If his three tricks in front of him are good, TES has a high probability of winning LNG."

"But Xiongxiong's opponent is Sofm. It's hard to say about this person. His jungle style is very strange. I don't know if Xiongxiong can take advantage of the jungle."

After listening to Ah Shui's understanding, Yun Ge's eyes flashed with admiration. In the current IG, only Ah Shui's game understanding can discuss tactics with the coaching staff.

Although TheShy and Rookie in the upper and middle lanes have strong personal abilities, they don't have any commanding talents. understand the game.

As for Baolan, he doesn't seem to understand what game understanding is...

Only Ah Shui is an all-around player. If you want to rate a player's ability, Ah Shui must be the legendary hexagonal fighter. Except for a slightly higher death rate, there are no shortcomings.

"Rookie, what about you, who do you think will win between these two teams?" After listening to Ah Shui's game understanding, Yun Ge looked at Rookie who was paddling aside.

"I also think it's TES. The reason is the same. Their mid laner has a strong left hand. I have played against him before. The left hand's laning ability is definitely underestimated. LNG's mid laner is not his opponent at all."

"Okay, since you are all optimistic about the TES team, then keep your eyes open and take a good look at their games. They may be your opponents in the next round."

Yun Ge didn't ask TheShy and Baolan for their opinions, because Yun Ge knew that even if he asked, he couldn't find anything.

In the end, the match between the TES team and LNG did not exceed the expectations of the IG players. It was indeed TES who responded to the final victory, but the process of planning the match was jaw-dropping.

The jungler Sofm, who played well in the last game, suddenly fell ill when facing the TES team. Several mistakes in succession ruined the good situation. The spiritual sense of the jungle in the last game against Jiejie completely disappeared.

If you watch the entire game and cover up the jungler's ID, the audience may even think that the jungler of LNG has changed, and he was not that good at all in the last game.

It is said that gossip circulated that on the day after the game, Sofm players returned to Ho Chi Minh City and bought ten properties directly. We dare not say what the specific situation is, and we dare not ask (dog head), anyway, betting on dogs must be nothing .

After TES won LNG [-]-[-], all the semi-finals of the regular season entered the semi-finals. This also shows one thing. There is no problem with the gold content of the regular season in the summer split. At least the strength of the semi-finals is stronger than other teams. a cut.

The first half of the semi-finals will start on August 8. After a week of rest, RNG will face the dominant FPX team in the regular season.

But the process of this game disappointed everyone. They originally thought that this would be a game where sparks hit the earth, and the scene of the game would be fierce, but in the end they disappointed everyone.

After RNG won the first place with Uzi's performance, FPX won three consecutive rounds, and finally advanced to the summer finals with a [-]-[-] record. The tactics used by FPX were exactly the same as BLG's tactics against SN.

As long as RNG's bottom lane is locked on the BP side and in the game, FPX can easily win the game. In the whole BO5, Xiaohu's state is hard to describe, and it can't even be called a downturn. After the game, everyone can't believe it. RNG The person standing in the middle is actually the legendary General Tiger.

As for the wolf on the road, there is no need to say more. When Uzi can't stand up, there is no suspense in the RNG game. The IG players who watched the whole game are a little suspicious. What is wrong with RNG? .

Their staffing and tactical system are not bad, but when it comes to the game, it seems that everyone is carrying heavy burdens and cannot exert their full strength at all.

But Yunge and the IG players didn't think too much. After FPX entered the final, their battle will begin. Only by winning the game against TES can IG have a chance to enter the final and compete with FPX for the final championship. .

This game is also of crucial significance to IG. As the champions of the spring split, as long as they can reach the finals of the summer playoffs, according to the points in the World Championship, regardless of the outcome of the final game, IG will Automatically get a ticket to the World Championship.

Therefore, whether it is to compete for the championship or to enter the playoffs, IG must win the game against the TES team, and the TES team also has a reason to win IG. They have been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

In the previous summer regular season, IG won the game twice by stealing home, nailing TES to the pillar of shame. Now in the playoffs, the two teams actually played against each other again. Of course, the old and new grudges were settled together. . TES will never let go of this opportunity to avenge its shame.

Both teams have reasons to win the game, but there is only one team that can win the game in the end, and it is still unknown who will win the game.
