The top four qualifiers have been announced

For LPL audiences, this season's LPL system reform is undoubtedly a success, after all, in the second stage, 16 teams were successfully divided into Nirvana Group and Ascending Group. The top two teams in the Nirvana group will advance to the Knight's Path, while in the Summit, only the top four teams will make it to the playoffs, while the remaining six teams will fall to the Knight's Path. These eight teams will face off in a single-round robin BO5.

In the Knight's Way, only the winner will advance to the LPL playoffs, while the loser will be eliminated directly and will start playing from the Nirvana group in the third stage. It is precisely because the rules of the knight's road are too cruel that many LPL teams are striving to advance to the top four in the regular season, and at present, TES, AL, JDG and BLG have been confirmed to advance to the LPL playoffs, and the rest of the teams in the summit group have no chance of directly qualifying.

IG was tragically "played" by TES?

In this battle for the top four, the matchup between TES and BLG has attracted a lot of attention and discussion, after all, the victory or defeat of the TES game is related to whether IG can rank among the top four in the LPL standings. If TES wins, then IG will have a "life-and-death battle" with BLG, and if TES loses to BLG, then IG will miss the top four in the LPL. Because of this, many IG fans cheered for TES before the game.

But something disappointed IG fans happened, that is, TES was beaten by BLG in this BO3, and many IG fans don't understand, why TES, as the No. 1 team in the LPL standings, TES's game operation and team battle pull so much, even inferior to IG's last BO3 opponent FPX? After the game, TES coach Redmi's speech caused a large number of audience discussions and complaints.

TES coach Redmi admitted that this BO3 game is a deliberate selection of players who are not good at the system and heroes, in order to expand the hero pool of players in the playoffs, and at the same time, Redmi admitted that the loss of TES's final battle is nothing, after all, TES has locked the first place in the regular season in advance. And when Redmi "deliberately practices heroes", many LPL viewers feel that he is hard-mouthed, after all, whether TES is practicing heroes or not, it is a fact that the group was unilaterally crushed by BLG, of course, there are many IGs who resent the TES coach and thought that TES was deliberately cheating IG.

Is IG going to deliberately lose to BLG?

After the TES fiasco, today's IG has ushered in a very embarrassing thing, that is, the final battle between IG and BLG, does IG want to win BLG? At present, BLG and JDG have the same field points, if BLG wins IG, then BLG has a chance to become the third in the LPL standings, while JDG will fall to the fourth position in the LPL standings, according to the selection rules of the playoffs, the fourth in the standings will play the fifth in the standings, which is equivalent to the opponent in the first round of the IG playoffs will be JDG.

Judging from the records of the two sides, IG has a better chance of winning against JDG, after all, IG has played a total of 7 small games with JDG in the new season, of which IG won 6 small games, while JDG only won one small game. So many IG fans also hope that the opponent in the first round of the IG playoffs is JDG. Of course, JDG's team has a higher score than BLG, and as long as JDG guarantees to win AL, then JDG will stabilize the third place in the LPL standings. If JDG does fall to fourth in the standings, then they will be in the same half as TES and IG, and JDG will play these two teams with a very low win rate.

epilogue

I personally feel that IG fans should not blame TES for practicing the lineup, after all, the TES coach revealed in an interview early on that TES will practice the lineup in future games. At the same time, I think that the biggest reason why IG missed the top four in the LPL standings is that IG was double-killed by WBG, you know, WBG has never lost IG in the summit group, and other teams have lost once, and IG also missed the fourth place in the standings because of this loss.

The LPL regular season is coming to an end, do you think IG can fight from the way of the knights? (IG Knight's Path opponent is EDG of the Nirvana group) Welcome to discuss in the comment area, I personally think IG should beat EDG casually.
