LPL Stage 2 Playoffs Victory
Not TES, no IG, the 2 teams in the final second stage of the LPL Playoffs Upper Bracket Finals are AL and BLG. Since the top two can advance to MSI, winning the final will also mean that they will directly qualify for MSI. AL were a consistent team in both stages, with both stages 1 and 2 coming to the winning position. BLG announced a strong return after changing the jungler, and TES was also beaten 3-0 into the lower bracket by them. At least after the humiliating 2-9 in the Pioneers, many people are really reluctant to see TES represent the LPL in MSI again, at least the two teams that have won so far are happy with them.
Unexpected or reasonable?
At the beginning of the season, I really didn't expect that with Tarzan and Flandre and South Korean assistant Kael joining, AL paired with Shanks and Hope, who were often criticized for having too many problems in the past, this lineup could actually become a regular in the LPL finals. The first stage can only be guessed to be a dark horse, and the performance is better for a while, but I didn't expect the performance of the second stage to be very stable. This may prove that under the intensity of today's LPL environment, AL is a team that can enter the finals.
Does a jungler hurt a team that much?
After Wei joined BLG, he only won the LPL championship with the team in the summer last year. At the World Finals, BLG found that the wild area was wrong, and immediately replaced Xun to play all the subsequent fixtures. Although it is a pity that they failed to defeat T1 to win the championship in the end, it can also be seen that BLG's team does not seem to have a high level of trust in Wei. What's even more puzzling is that Xun was not retained during the transfer period, and as a result, Wei was forced to play a stage, until the second stage was at the end of the road, and finally Beichuan, who was "out of the same school" as Xun, was replaced by Wei. This is why BLG has a strong recovery in the second half of the second stage.
The news about the discord between the jungler and the rest of the team was also accompanied by this substitution storm. Judging from the results alone, after Beichuan joined, BLG did suddenly become able to play games, and even the players were much more cheerful, while the team atmosphere was lifeless when Wei was there. This strong contrast between before and after also makes many people sigh that the gap between changing junglers is really so big?
Who will be the first to advance to MSI?
Next week, both LPL and LCK will have a focus battle Bo5 to determine the first MSI spot, one is AL vs. BLG on June 9, and one is GenG vs. HLE on June 13. At present, among the five major regions in the world, only G2 and CFO have advanced to MSI. The South Korean LCK side obviously has a higher winning rate for the undefeated GenG, and if the LPL is really as bold as BLG has come back, then it is indeed easier for BLG to get the ticket first.
