Chapter 79: The relegation emperor, the playoffs begin!
Time flies and it is August 10th.
LPL Summer Playoffs start on time!
Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center, 1:00 p.m., GT vs. VG.
Because of the competition rules, GT started with a 1-0 lead.
GT has the advantage, but VG's Houye has been in great form since the second half of the season.
In the first game between the two sides, VG scored 27-9 in just thirty minutes, blocking GT in the fountain and tying the score to 1-1.
In the second game between the two sides, Ximyana's Ekko carried the game like crazy in the early stage, but GT did not defeat VG in one go. Although Hou Ye's mid-lane Fanzi Ma had a poor performance, he did a good job in protecting his own rat.
In addition, the jungler was Graves, and by the end of the game, GT's output could no longer keep up.
The game took a huge turn at the 37th minute, when GT, which had the advantage throughout the game, was quickly defeated by VG and the Baron. In the next team fight, no one could deal with Long Ge's Poppy GT, and Lucian with Youmeng and Black Cleaver was simply unbeatable.
At 38 minutes, with Infinity, Phantom Flame, Armor-piercing Bow, Runaan's Hurricane and attack speed boots, the Rat with this set of equipment came stealthily from the bushes in the upper river to the middle lane. After the Marquis gave him a shield and acceleration, he used his ultimate to ruthlessly shoot and kill the two GT Cs!
Seeing Vampire and Lucian falling together, GimGoon shouted "Shit!" in the team voice.
VG drove straight in and took down GT in one wave.
VG defeated the opponent and got the match point despite being at a disadvantage. In the third game between the two sides, Hou Ye brought out the Ice Girl.
In the summer season, TheKing's Ice Girl is considered the strongest in LPL, followed by Hou Ye.
Perhaps GT's mentality was affected. The two sides only played for 21 minutes and 45 seconds, and the head-to-head ratio reached an exaggerated 21-5. Hou Ye's Ice Girl had already achieved a luxurious data of 7-1-5.
In less than 25 minutes, GT Heights was flattened!
VG won three games in a row and GT bid farewell to the playoffs.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, IM naturally had one more win and faced IG.
AD quality inspector Jinjiao personally inspected IG's bottom lane. In the first game between the two sides, Jinjiao's Kog'Maw directly became a god, and Marge's Jhin and Baolan's Minotaur were both beaten 0-3.
In less than thirty minutes, IM defeated IG 15-2 and directly took the match point.
IG's fans did not wait for the team to gain momentum. In the second game between the two sides, IM still easily defeated IG and eliminated IG with a score of 3-0.
This dark horse team that emerged from the secondary league still maintains surprising vitality in the LPL playoffs.
After the game, Chicken Allah leaned back in his gaming chair.
From coming to LPL as coal-digging brothers with Kakao, and then to becoming a DJ boy, Ji Zhenzhu has secured the starting position as IG's mid laner.
He is really tired after playing for so long this summer.
Physical fatigue is nothing. For Dean Ji, who has a strong desire to compete in the S game, feeling that he is getting further and further away from S6 is even more mentally tiring.
The IM team that defeated IG is about to face new challenges.
Only one day later, they will face Snake in the top six match!
In the confrontation between different groups, everyone in IM has witnessed Snake's strength.
Of course they watched the last game of the summer regular season. Snake is fully capable of competing against EDG, and TheKing is a very scary person.
August 12th , that will definitely be a super tough battle!
The first day of the playoffs ended, and the Snake team watched the game in the base like other teams, especially the game between IM and IG, and everyone discussed it.
Compared with the last time, IM has made great progress.
However, IG will definitely be at a disadvantage against IM because the bottom lane is too disadvantaged.
It’s different when it comes to Snake. Facing Gangzi at this period, the quality inspector can’t get any advantage.
The next day, the game that determined the fate of the four teams began.
SAT vs. OMG.
At this time, SMLZ has officially evolved from the former A-level emperor to the current relegation emperor.
In the 2015 Spring Season, Smlz offended the uniform team and was hidden by M3. Later, because of the fear of relegation, Smlz was invited back from the water dispenser.
With the help of Lao Zei, M3 successfully avoided relegation and retained the spark of the summer season.
However, in the summer, due to the complex composition of the team, problems with communication within the team, and confused tactics, M3 had talent on paper but could not produce any results.
The cousin of the Emperor even created Pantheon and Irelia as supports, which made European and American teams call it art.
After being eliminated in the first round of the summer playoffs, the M3 team was reorganized and Smlz came to OMG in December.
However, OMG in the 2016 season was no longer the national pride that swept Najin White Shield. In the spring season, OMG could not escape the fate of relegation.
In the spring relegation match when the team was defeated, Smlz used his Kog'Maw to get a pentakill on EPA high ground when his teammates had all left, helping OMG to successfully avoid relegation.
Now it is summer and Smlz is once again in the relegation match.
At the Snake base, after seeing OMG defeat SAT, Li Hao took a look at the upcoming schedule .
OMG’s next game will be against Teacher Piao’s YM team.
Here, I can only feel sorry for teacher Piao for a second.
In the next game, LGD came back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat NB, directly securing their spot in the LPL and pushing NB into the next round.
At this point, the first round of the promotion and relegation match has officially ended.
Inside the Snake Team base.
"It will be our turn to go on stage tomorrow, so everyone go to bed early and get enough rest!"
"Regular hand feeling training at 8:30am, don't be late."
Zuo Wu went to the training room to make a notification, and heard the voice of "received" coming from inside.
At 10:30, Li Hao also left the training room. Chris was the last one to leave and closed the door.
"go to bed early."
"Ah, you too."
After returning to the dormitory, Li Hao simply washed up and lay down on the bed.
On the bed next to her, Flando had already fallen asleep. This kid had pretty good sleep quality.
Besides, I trained for a long time today and I am really tired.
Li Hao knows the importance of tomorrow's game better than anyone else.
Snake, there is no retreat!
Glancing out the window, I could see the moonlight shining like frost on the slightly opened window.
The moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright.
…
It is very hot in Shanghai in August.
Today, the atmosphere at the Hongqiao Tiandi venue is even more heated.
Although the venue was air-conditioned, the noise from the audience could not be stopped.
The EDG and RNG players who did not have any games today were also watching the game carefully under the organization of their respective clubs.
They all have the desire to compete for the summer championship and the number one seed in the S6LPL region.
Therefore, he also regarded the upcoming Snake as his imaginary enemy.
It is undeniable that this team, which was not taken seriously by everyone a few months ago, has now entered the vision of major teams.
If EDG hadn't stopped Snake's terrifying winning streak, the team might have continued its winning streak.
Besides, everyone wants to know.
TheKing is a tough guy, what will his condition be like in the playoffs?
Around one o'clock in the afternoon, the staff knocked on the door of Snake and IM backstage.
The players from the two teams walked into the venue along both sides of the aisle.
"Dear viewers, the 2016 LPL Summer Playoffs top six to four match has officially begun!"
"In the first game, Snake is on the blue side and IM is on the red side."
"Everyone can send barrages to cheer for their favorite teams, and have a chance to be selected as a lucky audience and receive exquisite gifts provided by the LPL official."
“…”
Sitting in the commentary booth were Wawa, Changmao and Sun Yalong.
After both parties confirmed that there was no problem with the equipment, background music started playing and the game entered the BP phase.
In the Snake player seat, Li Hao placed his thermos cup next to the monitor.
He stared at the screen, his face expressionless.
But, I was still a little excited inside.
For Li Hao, this is his first real playoff experience in his life.
