August 10, 2024, Beijing time,League of LegendsThe LPL Summer Season Playoffs will have their first round of matches on this day. The two matches are LGD vs. NIP and FPX vs. TT. It is worth mentioning that although the Summer Season has gone through the group stage and the group stage, they have played against each other in the Summer Season. So, what will be the highlights of the first round of the playoffs? Let's find out together!

LGD VS NIP

Judging from LGD's overall performance in the summer season, they are still playing relatively normally, but interestingly, the only game in the summer season that can be regarded as an upset for LGD is actually their match against NIP. In that game, LGD defeated NIP with a total score of 2-1, especially in the third game of the Bo3 between the two sides, LGD played a crushing situation. In fact, judging from the hard power of the two teams, NIP is obviously better, but perhaps there is a record of defeating NIP, I believe this will give LGD a certain psychological advantage. After all, judging from NIP's performance this season, it is difficult to win a group match, and the Knight's Road shut out RA. NIP's competitive state is actually not stable, which may give LGD a chance to take advantage of.

NIP finally played at their best in the Road of Knights, and made it to the playoffs with their outstanding performance. But the question is, how long can NIP maintain this competitive state? Because judging from NIP's performance in the group stage, it can really be summed up in the word "disappointment". Of course, as we all know, the playoffs and regular season games are a showdown between two different strong teams, and the last Bo5 Road of Knights game was quite playoff-like. Therefore, if NIP can continue the performance of the last game and adapt themselves to the rhythm of the playoffs, there is still a relatively large chance to complete the revenge on LGD.

FPX VS TT

Although TT's performance in the group stage was very sluggish, fortunately, TT finally found its feeling in the match against Knight Road in the group stage. Especially in the last match against Knight Road, TT completed a zero seal against OMG with a total score of 3-0. But what's interesting is that although TT's competitive state and performance are quite good at present, in the group stage, TT actually lost to FPX twice. In this game, TT will face the challenge of FPX again. From a psychological point of view, TT is not in an advantageous position. Fortunately, there is not much difference in hard power between the two teams. If TT can continue to maintain its competitive state during this period, it still has a chance to avenge FPX.

FPX performed relatively normally in the summer season, and was able to successfully defeat opponents with similar strength to itself, but when encountering strong teams, FPX was unable to make further breakthroughs. Of course, this kind of FPX is not without upset games. When facing the strong team LNG, FPX completed a sweep of the opponent. However, after this sweeping game, FPX experienced a three-game losing streak and entered the playoffs with bumps and bruises. In this game, FPX met TT again, because they defeated TT twice in a row in the summer season, which would give FPX a certain psychological advantage. However, for this game, the psychological advantage could not help them defeat TT again, because TT's competitive state is now visibly good. Therefore, if FPX wants to defeat TT again, it must show a corresponding or better competitive state.

Finally, my friends, which two teams do you think can win their first victory in the playoffs?
