Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The LCK Pro League kicked off the lower bracket finals this afternoon, with Team DK facing Team GEN, and Team GEN managed to break out after being in poor form and swept their opponents 3-0 to advance to the finals.
The final scenario of the LCK is that GEN and HLE will meet in the grand finals to compete for the final championship.
The GEN team has been the ace team in the LCK region for a long time in the past, but the state of the change of lineup this year has been relatively fluctuating, and after entering the semi-finals in the playoffs, GEN has had a big problem playing in two consecutive BO5 games, and the game against NS almost overturned, and finally played five games before successfully advancing.
In contrast, DK is the more favored team, they won the first place in the Ancient Dragon division this year, which can be called the tactical kaleidoscope of the LCK division, and can come up with a lot of tactical systems to play the game.
In the pre-match prediction session, most people thought that DK would win the game.
What I didn't expect was that this round of the game presented a completely one-sided situation, GEN almost crushed the whole process and swept DK 3-0 to win the game.
This was a change that no one expected, and this year's in-form ShowMaker players looked lonely after the race, and they didn't expect to end the first stage in this way.
In the first game, Duro sacrificed the support bull head, and the biggest problem that was criticized by the audience before was corrected to hang up in the middle lane to help Chovy get an advantage, and Duro's pure negative performance has now completely changed, and even started to carry the team.
In the nest insect team battle, Duro entered the field first to open the group and cooperated with his teammates to complete the kill, Xu Xiu Galio also died when he entered the field at the second time, and then Duro completed the Gank kill on the top lane.
Canyon's hand Wei also began to play a role, Yue Tower went down to complete the kill, GEN played a very good rhythm throughout the game and won the first game smoothly, the second game GEN continued its excellent form, and began to play an advantage in the lane period, DK Although the middle lane seized the opportunity to kill Ruler, but Quisanti cleaned up the mess GEN instead played two for four.
In the crucial Eta Khan team battle, Kiin Quisanti opened the team first and cooperated with his teammates to quickly disable many opponents, and Aiming Kaisha entered the field to send off the head.
The third game was the most back-and-forth between the two sides, ShowMaker offered a mid-laner Ruiz but was targeted one after another and failed to play in the early stage, but DK took the lead with Ueno's excellent performance, especially Lucid's wave of Lilia entered the field and cooperated with teammates to win the team battle, and Aiming also won three heads in the lower lane.
After the two sides played 6-6 in the middle of the game, Chovy's fox began to exert its strength, and the continuous entry charm in the key team battle successfully helped the team grasp the advantage, and finally won the opponent with stable operation, and the final record of the DK team was also fixed in the third place.
Personally, I think GEN's strength has ushered in a wave of evolution after playing three BO5 games in the semifinals, which is completely different from when he played HLE before, so GEN needs to be careful after advancing to the finals, HLE needs to be careful, and the last round of playing HLE was also because of Nosuke's poor performance and finally lost the game, but once Nosuke's state is adjusted, GEN looks stronger than HLE.
Especially the unpredictable performance of the auxiliary Duro, forcing out the full force, the current state of Chovy is still very hot, I personally think that the winner of the final depends on this auxiliary player, if DurO's state can continue, GEN is more likely to win.
But if GEN's Nosuke still has problems playing HLE, HLE will have a greater chance of winning, in short, no matter who wins in the end, it will be a very tricky existence for the LPL, and I hope that there will be a strong enough team on the LPL side to compete with the LCK.
