Chapter 432 Begin! [15,000 completed, fulfill the promise]
Although it is said to be the World Championship, but...
In fact, Xu Ruoguang and the others don't have to leave Korea at all, because this World Championship is actually being held in Korea.
The play-in tournament starts at the LoL Park venue in Seoul and will be played from October 1st to October 10th.
Then the group stage will be moved to Busan BEXCO venue from October 10th to October 17th, and the same will be true for the quarter-finals.
So if someone is really brave enough to make the top eight, it's enough in Busan, and there's no need to go further.
I feel like there is no need to go to Gwangju, it’s not interesting.
The venue for the semi-finals will be changed again, from the Busan BEXCO venue to the Gwangju Women's University Universiade Stadium. The competition will be from October 27th to October 28th.
The final venue was set at Munhak Stadium in Incheon. This is an open-air venue, but it has to be said that it should still be able to accommodate a lot of people.
In fact, this schedule is not very long, let’s give an example.
You are a team named [RNG], the No. 1 seed in the LPL. You started your group stage tour on October 10th. As a result, you were defeated by an unknown player from Europe and the United States in the first round of the quarterfinals on the 20th.
[G2] were eliminated, and the truth called [The Eight Quarterfinals] was gradually discovered.
Sounds sad, right?
But don’t be sad, this painful journey is actually only ten days, very fast, even less than two weeks!
Friends, you must know that even a five-star or six-star UP pool of xx or xxxx will probably last more than a week and a half.
The rest of the time... you can do whatever you want in Korea!
Of course, most people probably don’t feel this way either.
So this schedule can actually be said to be very short.
The pain after failure is short-lived, and so is the enjoyment of others.
Everyone is actually pretty much the same, um, really.
Now that the finals of the LCK are over, in addition to deciding the number one seed and the number two seed, there is actually only one number three seed in the LCK this year, not a number four.
The reason is simple. Last year’s champion was an IP from LPL.
Therefore, the LPL can have four teams, but the LCK cannot.
Regardless of whether the third seed in the LCK or the fourth seed in the LPL, they have to start from the bubble game. However, because the LPL was last year's champion, the third seed can start from the group stage, which can be regarded as giving the IP of last year's champion to the division.
Welfare.
The number one seed is undoubtedly UR, and the number two seed based on points is KT. The reason is very simple, the points in the summer split are more than the points in the spring split.
The points awarded to the runner-up in the Spring Split are far less than those awarded to the runner-up in the Summer Split.
This is also the reason why many teams don't pay special attention to the Spring Split, because if you win the Summer Split, you can be the No. 1 seed and enter the World Championship. Even if you win the Spring Split, you may not be the No. 2 seed.
After excluding UR, who has the most points and is also the summer champion, KT leads SKT in points, so they got the second seed.
SKT will compete with the remaining three teams GENG, GRF, and KZ for the last ticket to the World Championship.
There is actually nothing to say about this bubble match. It was basically a massacre by SKT.
Because you have to know that compared to KT in the finals, SKT is considered a team with a smaller gap between them and UR.
There is even a saying: The semi-finals between UR and SKT will directly determine who will be this year’s LCK Summer Split champion.
If SKT can't beat UR, can it be said that it can't beat Samsung and Griffin?
I really like Imp’s words: Just hit whatever you want.
And with the end of the bubble game, SKT also got the third World Championship ticket without any danger, and the LPL next door also decided the final fourth seed.
The final lineup is as follows:
LCK No. 1 seed: UR
LCK second seed: KT
LCK third seed: SKT
LPL No. 1 seed: IG
LPL second seed: BLG
LPL third seed:EDG
LPL fourth seed:RNG
The LPL finals of the summer split are still between IG and BLG.
A BO5 between Abin and theshy took out four heroes respectively. Their hero pools are very deep in this version.
Jungler Xiaotian and King Ning also had a crazy confrontation.
As for mid-range units, yagao's performance is slightly inferior to rookie.
On the one hand, it is due to the version.
The support mid laners and AP cores that Toothpaste is good at in this version have a horribly low appearance rate. The more mid laners like Jess Enchantress are either poke or assassin attributes.
On the other hand, yagao, who was just starting out at this time, was facing a bit of pressure against rookie, who had undoubtedly entered his peak period.
Although I'm not sleepy, I can't fight even if I'm not sleepy.
This is very embarrassing.
As for the bottom lane group, in the current LPL, Ah Shui at his peak almost dominates the LPL bottom lane, even when paired with Sapphire.
Because although Baolan’s hero pool is not large, this version is just enough.
Pokémon are not called for nothing.
Even if there are only four heroes, Braum, Rakan, Titan, and Tauren.
But so what?
It’s really enough to meet these four heroes on IG in this version.
When playing IG, no one in the LPL would let go of the four heroes in the midfield, jungle, and AD. Instead of targeting Baolan, the hero pool is targeted.
However, even if LWX and crsip did not fall behind in the battle, they would always give away kills during team fights and mid-term lane changes due to the extra "care" from Rookie. As a result, BLG failed to win the battle, and ended up with a score of one to three.
The score was BO5.
Although they lost the finals twice, BLG still had enough points to directly qualify as the second seed.
On the other hand, the strength of the third and fourth seeds is quite different from the previous two teams.
What situation does EDG belong to now?
Meiko's proficiency in hard support in this version is not high, and there are naturally problems with commanding, so EDG sometimes makes some outrageous decisions this season.
The only core of the team now is scout. Although iboy in the bottom lane can be C, he is not stable and cannot be said to be a stable C position.
The performance of Haro, the second prince in the jungle position, is acceptable, but only acceptable.
Needless to say, top laner Ray has not been able to stand up a few times against top teams, at least in China, and his performance in the World Championship naturally makes people less confident.
And what about RNG?
RNG should give IP a thumbs up. They are still doing the same thing now, relying on the bottom lane to be able to move monsters from A to C.
The disobedient Uzi is no longer needed! We can create a new Uzi!
This person is very interesting.
Is he good at it? He is really bad at it. He can even be said to be the iconic figure of the domestic mid laner.
But the bad thing about canceling accounts is that as long as there are still people he can rely on in the team, he will subconsciously choose to trust his teammates instead of trusting himself.
This also leads to the fact that once there is a competition, the middle lane of the canceled account will become silent.
RNG once had a two-on-five team fight, and Uzi was paired with Cannon.
Uzi kept shouting, "Don't go, don't go, don't go! You can fight, you can fight, you can fight!"
The person who closed the account has always wanted to run away because he had already lost the team battle before, and he was afraid that he would lose this round and sent it directly.
However, under the strong supervision of Uzi, the account canceller had no choice but to bite the bullet and make a wave of operations, and finally won.
When interviewed afterwards, the account holder also said, "I was forced to do a lot of things."
Only when he really needs to stand up and withstand the pressure is the time when he can perform his best work.
Such as S6, also such as S11.
But now in S8, able is RNG’s last resort. If you cancel your account, you can only choose to believe in able.
Fortunately, Able is capable. Even though he is not good at laning, he is really good at teamfighting. RNG's dilemma has stimulated Able's potential. With Kai'Sa and Xayah in hand, he led RNG to get the fourth ticket.
Taixiang is in trouble, Taixiang is in trouble.
