An unexpected ending to the S15 season

February is coming to an end, and the global divisions are also entering the end of the first stage. At present, there are only two places left in the Pioneer Competition, the European LEC and the Chinese LPL, which have not been determined, and many unexpected events have occurred in the past 2 months of the S15 new season. Among them, the biggest impact and the most surprising are the elimination of T1 and BLG, the two top teams in China and South Korea.

South Korea's magical format led to an early meeting of the strongest teams

The LCK played a trick this year, dividing the 10 teams into 2 groups and playing a 5v5 match in the group stage. This new format led directly to the final HLE and T1, the two strongest teams in the LCK that met in the first round of the playoffs.

The group stage stipulates that the group with the most wins is the upper bracket, and the top three advance to the playoffs. The other group was eliminated last in the lower bracket, and the other teams competed for three places in the play-in round 456. Because HLE and T1 are in a group, in the end, all the losers will play in the play-in round, and their strength is too strong, they will inevitably get the No. 4 and No. 5 promotion places. And the most outrageous thing is that the LCK playoffs stipulate that 4 and 5 will play a life-and-death game in the first round, giving No. 6 to the team that gets the No. 3 spot because of the advantage in the upper bracket.

Unless either HLE and T1 team loses the first round of the Play-In Tournament, their matchup will be decided the moment the group becomes the lower bracket. In the end, T1 No. 4 and HLE No. 5 advanced to the playoffs, and the two teams met to play Bo5, and HLE won and eliminated T1.

T1 can still compete for the championship

HLE has played 4 Bo5 games in the playoffs this year, and they have played all the strong teams in the LCK, and if HLE is used as a reference, it seems that T1 still poses the biggest threat to them in the entire series. Two GenGs, one DK, if it weren't for the fact that T1 had some instability in its own substitutions this year, it would be difficult to say how the first stage of the LCK would have ended. Of course, HLE won the championship with 20 rounds, which is undoubtedly golden.

In addition to Doran this year, T1 also changed from Gumayusi to newcomer Smash in the lower lane. Although the ending did not meet expectations, from the group stage to the play-in tournament to the playoffs, Smash and Doran performed very well overall, and even if they were replaced by other players, it is difficult to say that they will definitely perform better than them.

T1's early exit is the format that determines fate in our opinion, and in terms of strength analysis, they and HLE can win Bo5 by anyone, and there is almost no obvious difference. It's just that it was out too early, which really made many people unexpected.

BLG is out unexpectedly

If you can go back to Bug to excuse yourself after losing the game for a few days, I'm afraid it's BLG in history. It is different from T1 and HLE because the format decided to play a game of life and death too early, and went out unexpectedly. BLG was unexpectedly sent away in the LPL this year, and it was completely self-inflicted. On the one hand, since the formation of the lineup of BLG, I have loved the fountain of abuse, especially the fountain of the abusing weak, and even proud of it. This is destined for them to rarely face up to and respect their opponents, laying the groundwork for their own arrogant behavior. On the other hand, the star player in charge is quite a bit of a collection of dregs from the past and the present, the king of Weibo, who boasts of being the first without a crown, arrogant and unaware, but if there is any sense of responsibility and shame, BLG will not come to the point where today's public opinion is one-sided and scolding.

Correct professional attitude

BLG is simply a team that spends money to smash out, and there are strong LPL players in key positions, but the whole team is still lacking many core elements compared to those teams that can win the World Finals. For example, respect for opponents and a good professional attitude. What you can see in the past two years is not that they have done something great, but that some outrageous behaviors of such and such players have caused a storm of public opinion. This also reminds many old viewers of the big talk kings of LPL in the early years, they have not disappeared, but have just transferred to these current traffic players.

Of course, BLG was unexpectedly eliminated, which many people did not expect at the beginning of the season, but since they were sent to the lower bracket in a casual battle against TT, I believe many people have seen the clues. Therefore, the final ending of the first stage of BLG was not surprising to some viewers. If they don't try to change that in the coming season, the team's current squad will inevitably be disbanded during the transfer period.
