Since IG fell into the LPL Knight's Road, many IG fans have protested, thinking that the game rules of the Knight's Road are unreasonable, after all, IG ranks fifth in the regular season, but IG has no advantage in the Knight's Road. On the other hand, IG's opponent EDG, as long as it wins IG in BO5, then EDG can directly advance to the playoffs, and the losing side will not be able to participate in all the matches in the second stage of the LPL in the future.
As the world champion team of the LPL League, EDG's background and potential ceiling are stronger than that of the peak group, NIP or TT, which is at the bottom of the summit group. Even LPL commentator Guan Zeyuan lamented during the game that EDG has a strong game and believes that IG has the possibility of falling into the Nirvana group. But as the IG game continued, IG finally defeated EDG with a score of 3-0 and became the first team on the Cavaliers' Way to advance to the playoffs.
After IG won, many IG fans thanked Guan Zeyuan for his "poisonous milk speech". Because EDG had a big advantage in the middle of the game in the second and third games, even Brother Crystal, a well-known commentator of LOL, said frankly in the live broadcast room. "If IG can turn over EDG, it will withdraw from the network." But who would have thought that IG's team battle pull was really good, which directly made EDG players unable to play their own advantages, and finally IG achieved a turnaround in two consecutive games.
AFTER I WATCHED THIS BO5, I CAN ONLY SAY THAT ROOKIE HAS BURNED OUT OF EGO. Jungler jiejie doesn't know why, there is no rhythm at all in the early stage of playing EDG, and he died many times during the team battle, and although TheShy did not make serious mistakes, he also did not play brilliantly. ON THE OTHER HAND, IN THIS GAME, ROOKIE HAS ALL KINDS OF RANDOM SHOWS, WHETHER IT IS RUIZ'S FLASH CUTTING THE BACK ROW, OR AKALI'S SOLO SHOW, WHICH IS PRAISEWORTHY, AND ROOKIE ALSO SUCCESSFULLY WON THREE CONSECUTIVE MVPS WITH HIS EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE IN THE GAME.
After EDG was eliminated by IG, EDG's single ZDZ received a lot of attention and discussion, whether it was on the line or playing in a group, ZDZ was no worse than THESHY, it can be said that EDG was able to insist on nearly 40 minutes in every game, all thanks to ZDZ's efforts, in the post-game rating, LPL audiences gave ZDZ high scores, and finally ZDZ's score also successfully surpassed TheShy and became the highest rating on EDG's side.
Of course, the player with the lowest rating on EDG's side is AD Xiao'an, many EDG fans have spontaneously went, EDG's official blog suggests below, I hope EDG management, in the third stage, can buy a more powerful AD player. After all, Xiao An, whether it is on the line or playing in a group, is EDG's shortcoming, but whenever Xiao An plays a wave during the game, EDG has a chance to win a small game.
Some EDG fans even suggested that EDG should quickly go to the T1 management and strive to buy the T1 substitute AD player Smash in the third stage, so that EDG would be eligible to hit a higher ranking, which is also a good thing for the T1 team, after all, Smash does not have a chance to play in T1, and if Smash comes to the LPL, it can also give Smash the opportunity to grow and train himself.
It's normal for EDG to lose to IG, after all, IG played 18 BO3 in the summit group, while EDG played 5 BO3 in the Nirvana group, and the intensity of the game between the two teams is too different, so EDG can't win every time it gets an advantage, on the other hand, no matter how big a disadvantage IG is in the medium term, it can operate stably and finally rely on the player's operation to win, do you think EDG was eliminated by IG with a clean sheet, is IG too strong or EDG too weak?
