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

The LPL Summer Playoffs kicked off a focus battle yesterday. NIP, which had won two consecutive BO5s, challenged the higher-ranked JDG team. As a result, the two teams fought until the last game to decide the winner.

In the end, the NIP team completed a counterattack again and successfully defeated the JDG team to advance to the top six.

Rookie redeemed himself in the final game and broke NIP's winning streak

Most viewers believe that this round of competition may be a evenly matched match, because in the second half of the group stage, the JDG team's condition was relatively poor, and a relatively big problem occurred in the top and mid positions. In addition, the JDG team itself had conflicts in the spring season, which have not yet been completely resolved.

The biggest advantage of NIP is that they have played two consecutive BO5 games. After suffering eight consecutive losses in the group match, the NIP team has rebounded and has started to gain momentum.

As a result, in the five matches between the two sides, JDG was obviously the one in worse condition. In the second game, they relied on the team's previous foundation to play a quick attack game. Saint Spear's Alola and Kanavi's Viego were the last moments of their peak period. In the fourth game, Rookie made a huge mistake in the laning phase. He was killed by the opponent after suppressing Yagao in the middle lane for most of the time.

Rookie's mistake in the fourth game almost made him the turning point of this round of BO5. Once JDG won the last game, Rookie's public opinion would inevitably collapse. Fortunately, NIP team withstood the pressure and won the fifth game. Rookie also completed redemption in the decisive game. After making up for his mistake, he also broke NIP's record of five consecutive defeats against JDG.

JDG team has been forced into a desperate situation due to multiple explosions

In the fourth game, JDG team successfully took control of the situation by relying on Ruler's Jhin to seize the opportunity to kill EZ, and won the game by taking the Pure Earth Dragon Soul and the Ancient Dragon. However, in the deciding game, JDG team's mid and support had huge problems. NIP had a dream start, Shan Ji made consecutive contributions, and Xiao Leyan and Jyra had a good rhythm in jungle clearing and GANK.

At one point, the lead was 6-1. When JDG seized the opportunity to steal the Baron, Missing made a fatal mistake, giving NIP an opportunity to kill the opponent with the help of Corki from behind and end the game in one wave.

From this round of series, it can be seen that the problems of the JDG team are not limited to the mid and top lanes. Sheer, a top laner who has been trained for more than half a year, was judged to be insufficient in strength at the critical moment. Holy Spear is a better choice. The mid laner Yagao has become the object of ridicule by the audience and has become JDG's biggest shortcoming.

If a mid laner is completely useless in laning and team fights and sleepwalks in every game, it will be difficult for the team to win.

Then the most surprising thing was Missing, the support player in the bottom lane of JDG team last year. In this round of series, he had problems almost every game and couldn't hold on in the laning phase. It can be said that JDG was forced into a desperate situation the moment they lost to NIP.

Interpretation of the bubble match situation, JDG needs to look at the other half of the zone

JDG team's journey in this summer season has come to an end, but they still have a chance to get a place in the World Championship, and that chance is the bubble match, but JDG needs to look at the game situation in the other half of the zone. JDG team's current annual points are 60 points, and NIP team's guaranteed points after winning are already 70 points, locking in a place in the bubble match.

In the other half of the zone, JDG's main opponents are AL and FPX. What JDG cannot accept is that FPX defeated AL to advance to the top six. FPX had 20 points in the spring season. If they advance to the top six, they will get 40 points, a total of 60 points, but their ranking in the summer season is higher than JDG. If the points are the same, their position is ahead of JDG. The same situation applies to WBG, and WBG's minimum is also 60.

The scenario that JDG would like to see is that AL defeats FPX, and then TES defeats AL, so that JDG can get a spot in the bubble game. I personally think this is very likely. TES is almost unsolvable against FPX and AL. It depends on whether AL can defeat FPX.

But even if JDG can finally get a spot in the bubble match, it is still a life-and-death struggle. I personally think that this year's JDG team can basically be declared a failure in advance and will miss the World Championship. Indeed, the former king will completely fall this year.
