Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The second stage of the LPL started earlier and ended the group stage earlier, while the second stage of the LCK officially started yesterday, and there was another unexpected match.
In the much-anticipated opening match HLE vs. GEN, the new LCK champion was easily defeated by his opponent.
HLE won the championship in the first stage of this year, and in the case of poor performance in the group stage, the playoffs broke out all the way to defeat T1, GEN, DK and other strong teams, and then the pioneer enjoyed a wave of benefits, and in the case of TES playing a breakthrough through the lower limit of history, HLE easily won the championship, and the end of the first stage of S15 was already a double championship in hand.
After returning home, HLE also took a break for a while, and the preparation time was shorter than that of other teams, but the audience did not expect HLE to lose so badly when facing GEN again.
The two games were crushed by the opponent, and in the first game, Canyon's early presence was full, and two consecutive waves of GINK were killed against HLE's middle and upper parts, and HLE also made a fatal mistake on its side, and the invasion of the wild area was killed by the opponent, and the situation collapsed at once, and the follow-up attempt to pick up the group found that it couldn't be beaten.
The momentum of the two teams is very different, GEN is showing a very different face from the switched version, and the two teams do not look like they are in the same power level.
In the second game, Chovy sacrificed the Tsar and pushed back in a row in the resource group, and the HLE situation collapsed again.
Chovy's two games are full of presence, the Tsar has made a great contribution, and the counterpoint performance perfectly suppressed Zeka, this counterpoint gives people a feeling like Zeka playing small cream in the Pioneer game, and some viewers even gave Zeka a new nickname called Big Cream.
Zeus also fell ill one after another, and the sword demon counterpoint was suppressed, and then he was directly targeted by GEN and collapsed.
Killed 10 times in two games, reminiscent of Zeus in the previous bad state, it feels like the whole person is not in shape, and the feeling of thinking about wandering into space.
A large number of commentators commented on this contest, and they all said that the HLE Pioneer had drawn someone else's spinning top, and now he became a spinning top himself, and was beaten hard by GEN, and LPL looked even more sad, because HLE, who beat TES in the Pioneer Tournament, didn't seem to be able to dominate when he returned to his own division.
Another reason is the difference between the lane change version and the lane version, which may also be the core reason for the sudden outbreak of GEN, about this, we have to wait for the later games to test, because there are many teams with very different performances in the first and second stages on the LPL side, and the same may be the case on the LCK side.
Generally speaking, teams with stronger individual laning ability prefer to play the laning version, and the characteristics of the laning version are that they have to rely more on their individual abilities in the early stage, and then slowly there will be some team linkage to do things, while the characteristics of the line-changing version are that the early team can cooperate with each other, and there will be more team behavior.
The lane change version will often cover up the hidden dangers of some players' lack of personal strength, and there is also the jungler position, and the lane version will test their brushing ideas and GINK ability.
Personally, I think the main reason for the HLE fiasco is that the team has not won the championship reserve game and the players have also relaxed their mentality.
While the other LCK teams are obviously holding back their strength, GEN's preparation must have been very good to play such a game, and the difference in mentality between the two sides and the difference in preparation results led to such a result.
In addition, the gap between the strength of HLE and GEN is not so big, and the two duels are a bad move, and one of the parties is in good shape, and the version is changed, which may show a relatively large gap in the content of the game.
On the question of whether HLE is suitable for the lane version, I personally think that HLE can adapt to the lane version, but the hidden danger is Xiao Peanut, and how his state will determine how far HLE can go.
