Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
LPL played the first BO5 of the lower bracket in the semi-final stage yesterday, and the two previously defeated teams met and played a full five games directly, and WBG successfully won the series after chasing two games in a row after falling behind 1-2.
Both teams played a biased style of play this round, and both made some mistakes.
This year, there is a popular saying in the LPL region, starting from the spring game, simply put, the tactical play like to drag out the late stage, and the team that likes to put resources for a long time will be a turtle team, and the two most famous turtle teams this year are LNG and WBG.
The journey of the two teams is also relatively similar, both played very poorly in the regular season/group stage, and then were able to have a big improvement in form at the critical moment and get a good playoff pick.
It is worth mentioning that the two teams met during the spring playoffs, but the ranking of the LNG team was not so high at that time, and the result was defeated by the opponent with the same score of 3-2 in the case of WBG.
And the duel between the two turtle teams, the final turtle king team is WBG, in the most critical fourth and fifth innings is to seize the opportunity, even if there are a lot of mistakes in front, it can still be played back through adjustment, in the toughness of this piece is still stronger than LNG, the tiger general also returned to a wave yesterday for a limited time.
There were a lot of wonderful shots in this round of the game between the two sides, and it was useless for Brother Breathe to choose the dog head in the first game, WBG advantage was killed at the beginning of the game, and the jungler was locked by WEI Brotherhood, Xiaohu could have chosen to go back and play a wave to cut off his own way of life, and then sent a wave of 0 for 4 as a whole, and was pinched by VI's lock system.
But in the second game, General Tiger returned for a limited time, exchanging mid-single planes, WBG invaded the wild area in the early stage and directly took three heads, LNG several waves of counterattacks The effect was not good, and the key wave of team battles Xiaohu directly encountered Scout without saying a few flat A took Scout away, and GALA also came over to fight and was killed by Xiaohu again.
The beginning of a wave of team battles was caused by Xiaohu's two solo kills, and WBG was invincible.
In the third game, the light emperor Light made a suffocation mistake, the key team battle was interrupted and he couldn't get out of the equipment back to the city, and then he was taken away by the face and opened the big one, and the mouse Ah Tiebreaker Light completed the redemption, and the two sides started a crazy battle in the fourth game, and WBG was even better and dragged into the tiebreaker.
GALA became the biggest joke, and was selected as a player in the regular season, and then there was a huge problem with the lane, and finally the tiebreaker was reduced to a breakthrough, and the line was directly beaten to prison.
Personally, I think that the strength of the two teams of LNG and WBG is about the same, and this year both teams still have a good chance of qualifying for the World Championship, but unfortunately the peak of the configuration of the two teams is not this year, and the configuration strength of the two teams last year looks much higher than this year.
But this year, because there was no strong enough team to replace the position of the two teams, the two teams can still reach the top four, and many viewers may say that these two teams do not look like strong teams when they watch the two teams, because both teams have made a lot of mistakes under the high-intensity confrontation.
In comparison, WBG's mistakes were not so fatal, so WBG won.
On the whole, the four teams in the LPL World Championship this year may not be so strong as a whole, and there may be a script of lone heroes, and LPL is also facing a crisis.
Another reason for the decline in team configuration is that the LPL does have a low number of talents available at the moment, and if it can't win the World Championship this year, it will be even more difficult next year.
