Dear LPL viewers andLeague of LegendsHello summoners, this is the World Game Center.

The LPL Summer League underwent a wave of competition system reforms this year. While the playoff system remained unchanged, the previous games were divided into different stages. Yesterday was the last BO5 of the qualifying match.

In the end, Team TT won the internal battle of the Nirvana Group and successfully won the last ticket to the playoffs.

Playoff matchups revealed, TES avoids the death zone

Before the qualifying round began, seven LPL teams had already secured their places in the playoffs. The specific ranking order was: BLG, LNG, TES, WBG, JDG, AL and FPX, and then LGD, NIP and TT filled the last three positions, forming the top ten teams of this year's LPL Summer Season.

According to the half-zone rules, the teams ranked 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th, and 9th are in the same half zone, and the teams ranked 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, and 10th are in the other half zone.

In this case, the five major teams BLG, WBG, JDG, LGD and NIP are in the same half, and LNG, TES, AL, FPX and TT are in the other half. It seems that there is a big gap in the competitive intensity between these two halves. Although TES failed to get the resurrection armor in the peak group stage, it successfully avoided the death zone.

Because the half zone where BLG is located obviously seems to be more difficult to play, and the hard power configuration is very strong, while the characteristic of the other half zone is that there are more dark horse teams. AL, FPX and TT are all dark horse teams.

It will be easier for TES team to advance to the semi-finals if they wait for the winner of these three teams, and they will get the resurrection armor after advancing to the semi-finals.

Rookie is eager for revenge, four dark horses are sprinting

There will be four dark horse teams in the LPL summer playoffs this year. Three of them are from the lower half, AL, FPX and TT. In the upper half, LGD is obviously the most surprising team. In the summit group, LGD achieved a record of 1-7 and only won one game against NIP.

Interestingly, after both NIP and LGD successfully passed the qualifying round, the two teams will face off again in the playoffs. Rookie is eager for revenge, and LGD also wants to prove itself. The contest between the two teams will become the most worth watching game in the first round of the LPL playoffs.

Personally, I think that if the two teams meet again, NIP will have a higher chance of winning. BO5 and BO3 are different. NIP team has relatively more playoff experience, and there are more tactics they can use after strengthening the jungle position. This game will be a big test for LGD.

Then there is the match between FPX and TT. This match is more difficult to predict because TT swept OMG in the ranking match. To be honest, it is not very meaningful for reference because OMG is in too bad shape and FPX is probably in a difficult situation as well. I originally wanted to take a look at the match between OMG and TT and then design a BP, but I found that it has no reference value.

LPL playoff predictions, three teams lead the way

Regarding this LPL playoffs, I personally think that the most suspenseful game in the semi-finals should be WBG. WBG ranked fourth in the group match and JDG ranked fifth. Later, LGD and NIP came up to challenge JDG, and then played against WBG. This game has the most suspense. Whether WBG will maintain its position in the semi-finals or be directly eliminated in the first round is the most difficult to predict.

Relatively speaking, the TES team on the other side looks very stable. I personally think that the strength of the three teams, BLG, LNG and TES, can basically achieve a discontinuous lead in the playoffs.

It is difficult to say that AL, FPX, and TT can cause much trouble to TES. If you have to say, AL seems to have a little chance, but the AL Summit Group has been losing all the way, and it is very difficult to adjust its status. This is when Tabe is tested. If Tabe can solve the main problems in the team and let the team return to the state at the start of the summer season, then there is a chance to complete a counterattack.

Of course, from the audience's point of view, we certainly hope that in the playoffs, there will be a team that can break out and get a good ranking despite being underdogs. This is also the charm of e-sports events.
