On the evening of August 8, the final match of the LPL summer regular season was in the game against EDG.

This eye-catching highlight ended with a slightly surprising plot like defeating EDG 2-0.

The rankings of the entire regular season were determined, and the quota for the playoffs was also announced to be settled.

The teams entering the playoffs are: OMG, EDG, LNG, FPX, TES, JDG, RA, SN, WE, RNG.

This result is a bit unexpected, but most of it is still reasonable.

OMG and FPX, among the semi-finals of the spring season, still advanced to the top four of the regular season in the summer.

EDG continued its strong performance in the regular season in the spring and reached the second place in the league.

The following teams such as TES, JDG, and RA are also ranked roughly the same as Spring.

What is more surprising is the sudden rise of LNG, from 11th in spring to 3rd in summer, the speed of progress is amazing.

There is also RNG, the runner-up in the spring season, declined severely in the summer season, and finally stumbled, barely squeezing into the playoffs threshold by two small points.

Compared with Chuntian, the rankings of these two teams almost changed positions, which reminds people of their team names, left NG and right NG.

Many viewers also joked that they were "switching left and right".

It is worth mentioning that the team that was squeezed down by RNG by a small difference is IG.

After winning the S8 championship, the IG team has been declining in the subsequent seasons. This spring, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Unexpectedly, in the summer, they could not even enter the playoffs.

IG has two super star players, Theshy and Rookie, but it failed to make the playoffs. Such results are obviously unacceptable to the team management and fans.

Change is imperative.

Moreover, it has been reported that the contract between Theshy and Rookie will expire at the end of this year.

By then, the entire team is likely to face a complete reconstruction.

The playoff schedule has also been announced, and 10 teams are still divided into two and a half zones, each playing bubble matches, and one and a half zone will decide on a final spot.

According to the competition system, OMG and EDG, the top two regular seasons, firmly sit in the semi-finals, waiting for the teams below to play.

OMG is in the upper half of the area, and the teams in the same area include FPX, TES, SN, and WE.

If nothing unexpected happens, the one that plays should be the first of the two teams FPX and TES. The weaknesses of the two teams SN and WE are too obvious, and their strength in all aspects is one or two points away from the first two teams.

The competition in the second half of the area is extremely fierce. EDG, LNG, JDG, RA, RNG, each team is very competitive, and even every team has a chance to reach the final.

Although RNG ranks last, it is the runner-up team of the last season, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

RA is also very strong in momentum, and can play back and forth against top teams in the league, with a very high ceiling.

JDG is a typical slow-heating team and always makes efforts in the late stage of the schedule.

And LNG needs no more, the third-class value of the league is here, and no one dares to underestimate them.

After the regular season, after a short 5-day break, the first round of the playoffs officially started.

The schedule is the same as spring, and the first three rounds are still one BO5 a day.

The first thing to start is the match between SN and WE in the upper half.

SN is WE's old miser. In the playoffs in the spring, WE was easily crushed by SN with a score of 3-0.

In the summer playoffs, the two teams faced each other again, and it was a shame that enemies were not gathering.

WE naturally longed for revenge, so she strengthened Xiaobei in summer, but she didn't expect that Xiaobei's performance was half a pound and half a tael of Shanks. After a season, her rankings declined compared to spring, which completely strengthened her loneliness.

And they still have no real candidates to be stable in the lane.

WE head coach Foot God is also helpless. Neither Xiao Dongbei nor Shanks look like the correct answer. He can only determine the starting candidate by letting them take turns playing training matches.

From the perspective of the players of SN, they have absolutely good personal strength, but in the game, there are always inexplicable situations. Many games that seem to be unable to lose can always be lost for no reason.

If you want to say that the team in the summer season has the most barrage of the game, there is no doubt that it must be SN.

The richest man Sofm can always change the taste of a good game with his own strength.

The nerve knife is not enough to describe his performance.

However, SN has another characteristic, that is, it is to abuse the thief.

WE in the Spring Playoffs suffered a heavy blow, but unexpectedly, the plot of summer is almost exactly the same.

WE was once again beaten to the audience's "designated son".

SN took WE away with three straight-down 3-0 easily.

The only thing that is gratifying for WE is that the total duration of the entire BO5 failed to allow SN to break through the spring record.

Optimistically, this is a considerable improvement.

The other half-zone match, RNG vs. RA.

It was considered to be a very anxious match before the game.

The same is true.

Both sides played five games, but RNG finally turned around in the last game, with a big disadvantage and struggling to win, advancing to the next round.

FOFO, who reversed his personal reputation with his strength and performance, finally failed in the first round of the playoffs.

He has been away from LMS and has been fighting in the LPL for two years, but he still struggles in the middle of the league. He has no choice but to go further and cannot even reach the bubble game. This is a pity.

The second round of the playoffs continued to start, and SN in the first half of the game once again faced TES.

Since SN defeated TES in the semi-finals of the World Championship last year, SN has been regarded as a archenemy by TES fans. Every time the two teams fight, it is the most tense moment for TES fans.

They neither want to meet SN because they are worried that their home team will lose, and then they are labeled as "designated son", but they also want to defeat SN head-on and avenge their previous shame and be proud.

Especially the TES regular season lost to SN.

This makes their psychology even more contradictory.

However, after the game started, TES fans found that their worries were unnecessary.

In this BO5, the plot of spring is repeated again, TES is in excellent condition, defeating SN 3-0 like flowing clouds and waters. The whole process is even easier than spring.

When the fans of the thunderbolt were having fun, the next day, in the other half of the area, RNG and JDG also fought again.

This game became different from the plot of Spring. JDG seemed to have firmly grasped RNG's life gate, using kanavi as the sharp knife, constantly making breakthroughs in mid-Jiang.

RNG looked powerless to fight back in the entire series, and was at a disadvantage from laning to team battles. In the end, JDG went straight to three sets cleanly and neatly, defeated RNG and advanced to the next round.

After RNG lost this series, the total points for the whole year were also confirmed to be 80 points (70 in the runner-up of the Spring Festival, and 10 points in the top 8 in the summer season.).

This score does not ensure that they qualify for the bubble match, they also need to look at the faces of other teams.

The current guaranteed points of OMG, EDG and FPX are already higher than RNG.

If the remaining TES defeats FPX and enters the semi-finals, their points will be higher than RNG.

In this way, except for the two places that rely on the summer crown and the highest points of the helicopter S match, the remaining three places to bubbling matches are likely to be determined.

There are two teams who have the chance to compete for the remaining spot.

That is LNG and JDG, who are about to fight in the next round.

If JDG wins LNG and reaches the top 4, their points will surpass RNG.

And if LNG wins, it will be mixed for RNG.

What’s good is that JDG’s points will be lower than them, but what’s worry is that if LNG goes further and wins the third place, the points will be better than them.

So for RNG, the best situation is that LNG will reach the semi-finals and will lose to EDG in the semi-finals and then lose to the third place.

In this way, the LNG's points will not exceed RNG.

Overall, the conditions for RNG to enter the bubble competition are harsh, and it can be said that fate is completely in the hands of others.

After their playoff journey, RNG's players were in great distress because they could not confirm the final result and could not take a break. In addition to continuing to maintain high-intensity training, they also had to pay attention to the games of other teams.

Especially the match between TES and JDG.

They want to cheer for the opponents of these two teams.

Soon, just after the RNG and JDG match ended, the next day, the match between TES and FPX began.

It is worth mentioning that in the middle and late stages of the season, Taobo replaced the support Xiaozhu who performed poorly, which allowed the Prophet, who had been on the bench for more than half a year, to return to the starting lineup.

Unexpectedly, the effect was significant. The prophet helped Tao Bo to win a small winning streak and jumped to the fifth place in the league.

In the regular season, FPX won the rush, so it still has some psychological advantages.

The two teams are equally popular, both have a large number of fans and are equally strong, one ranked fourth in the regular season and the other ranked fifth in the game, and the record is only one big game away.

This series of games is worthy of the official efforts to build momentum and played very well.

Although the final score was 3-1 and it was not full, the content of each game between the teams on both sides was very close. Without the last moment, everyone had no idea who won and who lost.

But the final outcome is that the laughter ends, which is what RNG least wants to see.

Then, a day that could be said to be the fate of RNG came. On August 19, the game between JDG and LNG started.

Countless RNG fans watched the game with fear.

Many fans went to the scene to cheer for LNG.
