On April 20, the second round of the LPL playoffs started.
In the first half, nb will face the omg team.
omg maintained the lineup from the second half of last summer's game. They kicked off Cool, who had been reduced to a substitute, and replaced Icon as the starter alone. While their combat power improved, the team's coordination became extremely harmonious after a long period of running-in.
They smoothly finished second in Group A during the regular season and are considered to be the best team in the spring split after edg and rng.
On the other side, the nb team had a stumbling start because they only introduced skt's substitute scout at the beginning of the season.
However, by the end of the season, the mid laner has basically completed his adjustment, and the team's strength has increased visibly.
In the last round of the knockout round, the midfielder used his strength. Socut took Jace Lucian, who had learned from Mei Xia, and led the team to a 3-0 victory over IM.
Therefore, various predictions before the game are basically 50-50 for both sides.
By the time of the game at two o'clock in the afternoon, all the EDG players took the time to watch the whole process.
After all, the winner of the two teams will challenge edg two days later.
And the competition process is indeed very intense.
In the first game, scout Lucian and Jace were both blocked, so the mid laner came up with a retro matchup of Enchantress versus Fox.
There are many heroes in the mid lane, and the jungle position Mantis and the male gun are both released. Swift uses the grab agent to choose the male gun that world6 is best at, but world6 does not dare to take the mantis, and only chooses the better blind monk for itself. .
As for the bottom lane, in the second round of the playoffs, almost all teams understood the version!
This is a special effects attack speed flow ADC version!
smlz got his most suitable Big Mouth, while the fledgling lwx got Verus more conservatively.
The result of the first game was of course that BP was more aggressive and had a deeper understanding of the new version of OMG.
However, in the second game, nb quickly adjusted its tactics and selected Clockwork Demon for scout, and then grabbed Big Mouth for lwx.
OMG's BP was still aggressive. First, he selected Ekko for the mid laner icon, then got a spider for jungler Swift, and adc even used a mouse to counter the big mouth.
It's just that Ekko in the middle can't compare to Clockwork in terms of laning strength and teamfighting effect. After 40 minutes of fierce battle, NB still managed to win the game.
By the third game, both sides were already determined to compete.
Icon still firmly believes in his assassin hero skills. As the solo kill king second only to Mika in LPL, he is fearless in 17 years.
omg chose the murloc in the middle to counter Scout's Syndra, while smlz chose the policewoman to counter lwx's Verus in the bottom lane.
As a result, omg failed again and the score was tied to 2-1 by nb.
When the game came to a life and death situation, omg finally changed his tactics and started swinging BP! Release Jace, move the little murloc originally in the middle to the top, and let the icon choose the rock bird!
Icon inherited a lot of awareness of supporting the mid laner from the last LPL card Cool, and actually helped the bottom lane duo establish an advantage in the early stage in a desperate situation.
In this game, smlz still played the policewoman. When it was advantageous, it broke the tower in ten minutes and got the upper and lower outer towers of nb in fifteen minutes.
Although nb also looked for opportunities to move back to the disadvantage several times in the middle, the accumulated economic gap in the early stage was too big, and OMG also got three dragons. The development curve of the policewoman was stronger than Varus after reaching the six-god outfit. In the end, the punishment was due to world6 wins.
The four fire dragons omg bulldozed the high ground.
The game entered the fifth inning.
Both sides came up with relatively stable late-game lineups. After all, omg's aggressive BP only gained one advantage in the first four games, so no one dared to take risks in the decisive game.
nb grabs the rock bird for socut.
omg get the clockwork for the icon.
In the jungle, it's a common male spear vs. blind monk, and on the top lane, it's a tanky Titan vs. a wine barrel.
The bottom lane is the classic regular season Han Bing Lulu versus Verus Kalma.
And the storm caused by the butterfly Mika came to fruition at this moment.
nb narrowly defeated omg in the decisive game!
Close to the top four and enter the next round!
Although Mei Xia does not have a clear memory of the rankings in the 2017 LPL playoffs, she remembers that there is no official Intercontinental Challenge this year.
That was the game that the top four teams of the LPL participated in, and it was also that game that almost made SMLZ bear the name of CJB in the foreign competition-if it were not for redemption in the 2018 Intercontinental Tournament.
The result of today's game means that omg has lost an opportunity to play in the World Championship. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
Looking at smlz with a gloomy face in front of the camera, Miha apologized in her heart.
As a fan of the lpl division, she has a good impression of the player smlz. In other words, she has as much goodwill as possible towards all lpl players who work hard and do not waste their talents easily.
"Well, the other player who was slapped by my butterfly, Scout, even lost his starting position as edg..."
…
The bo5 of omg and nb was full, and the other bubble match that day was postponed until seven o'clock.
QG broke through the first round and faced the WE team.
It was also predicted before the game that it would be a 50-50 draw.
But this bo5 scene was shocking.
We generously released Jace and Lucian to doinb.
But how can Big B play this kind of hero?
qg forced Jace in the first two games, but the result was extremely bad, losing two games in a row.
It wasn't until the third game that QG came to its senses and chose Kalma for Big B, but it was too late.
Karma needs to rely on the bottom lane to carry, but qg's AD is just a nobody. During the laning phase, he was beaten by Mystic, who was at the peak of his form. It took less than 30 minutes to bulldoze qg's crystal.
qg lost to we in straight sets!
Now netizens have something to say when comparing the playoff journeys of these two enemies, nb and qg, and swift and doinb.
[QG is not strong enough, even if he enters the easier lower half, he still won’t be able to get far! 】
[Is there a possibility that qg’s loss to gt in the last round of the regular season was not staged? They are just such bad guys? 】
【The top four＞The top six, swift＞doinb! 】
[Now you know who the old qg is! 】
[Mika-chan promised to look forward to meeting each other in the finals, why did the old silver coin just disappear? 】
[Brother Coin: Tang Xiaoyou believes in me, right? I really don’t know or communicate with Mika in private. Otherwise, why would I have stopped in the top six if she didn’t brag me so hard? 】
…
Watched two games.
Coach Abramovich mainly observed the first bo5, because nb will be edg's opponent two days later.
"This scout has made rapid progress throughout the Spring Split!" He couldn't help but feel a little emotional about the NB mid laner. "Assassin Mage can play well. People on the Internet say he is a little faker, but I feel like he is a little like Mika!"
This guy used to be a player he wanted to dig up with a lot of money. If it weren't for Scout's vague attitude and the fact that Mika had Pawn as a guarantee after the training matches, he would have valued Scout more at the beginning of last year.
He has more Korean nationality, after all, he is a substitute for faker.
But who would have thought that fate is so wonderful.
At first, Abramovich was not optimistic about Mika leading EDG to win the Grand Slam.
But the player he wanted to support at the beginning became edg's opponent on the way to promotion.
"Yes, I must go all out to treat him!" Mixia nodded in agreement.
After she replaced scout player edg in the mid lane position, she had to keep proving something.
It's more fun for your teammates to follow me than to play games with you.
