Chapter 373 Playoffs
Chapter 373 Playoffs
RNG base.
After learning the regular season ranking, Kwon Jong-hyuk also felt heavy-hearted.
In the regular season match against EDG, he was badly beaten by Shen Lang. RNG's ranking in the regular season was not as high as EDG. Although Shen Lang did not say anything, the netizens' ridicule did not stop.
Now we can only pray that RNG’s playoff performance is better than EDG’s. Only in this way can we wash away our shame.
But what is dramatic is that RNG will most likely face EDG in the playoffs.
Either you completely wash away the shame, or you can never raise your head again, it all depends on the result of this game.
However, what made Kwon Jong-hyuk feel difficult was that his own players did not seem to stand on his side and were not very concerned about defeating EDG. Kwon Jong-hyuk felt that they were not working hard enough.
In his opinion, his players should train madly to improve their strength, and then make every effort in the game against EDG. Only in this way, after defeating EDG, they can wash away the shame of being attacked by Shen Lang.
However, for Uzi and others, they really can't take it seriously.
As time went on, the club's problems in handling player contracts gradually became apparent.
These players usually communicate with each other privately, and they know some inside information.
After Karsa was introduced into the team last year, Mala Xiang Guo gradually moved from a starter to a substitute and rarely got a chance to play. He wanted to transfer to another team in the new season, but the club blocked his contract and prevented him from leaving.
Mala Xiangguo has no choice but to retire since RNG won’t let him go.
But things are not that simple. RNG started to pick out details from the contract, making it clear that they did not want to pay him the overdue salary, and the two sides even showed signs of going to court.
It is hard for Uzi and others not to see their own shadows in Mala Xiang Guo. Today RNG can force Mala Xiang Guo to retire, and tomorrow they can personally organize their retirement ceremony. RNG can hold on to Mala Xiang Guo's salary, and it can also hold on to their salaries.
How can the players play well in the current game if they are worried about their future?
Perhaps this is the reason why RNG's performance has gradually declined since S8.
Regarding the playoff match between RNG and EDG, someone also asked Shen Lang for his thoughts during his live broadcast.
Netizens are eager to watch the fun and just want to see Shen Lang and Quan Zhonghe causing trouble and watching them verbally exchange crazy words on Weibo.
Facing the netizens' questions, Shen Lang just smiled disdainfully: "RNG competes with us? Let them beat SDG first. I don't know who was beaten by SDG in the regular season."
After hearing this, netizens suddenly realized.
If RNG wants to face EDG, they must first defeat SDG, but in the regular season SDG defeated them with a record of 2:0.
In other words, they may not even be qualified to compete with EDG.
……
Time passes and the playoffs arrive as scheduled.
At this time, the number of people watching the game gradually increased. Compared with the summer season and other world competitions, the attention to the spring season was not very high, and the regular season was even more so. Only the competition between Shen Lang and Quan Zhonghe and EDG's Northern Expedition could arouse some interest among netizens.
The playoffs opener is between JDG and WE.
The eighth place in the regular season played against the fifth place in the regular season. In the eyes of many people, there was not much suspense in this game.
JDG's performance in the regular season was indeed a bit bad. If it weren't for the good performance of the players in the last game, they might not even have made it to the playoffs.
In comparison, WE still has the halo of the Big Three, so netizens naturally believe that WE has a higher chance of entering the second round of the playoffs.
But after the first game was over, netizens found that they were still too naive.
16: 0!
In the first game of Bo5, JDG won the game with such an exaggerated record. In the game that lasted for 29 minutes, WE was abused from beginning to end. Mystic's Vayne in the bottom lane was abused by Imp's Kaisa.
Fortunately, WE quickly regained the advantage.
However, WE won the second game very hard. The battle lasted for 38 minutes, and WE won the key team battle of Baron and won the game.
Although the scores of both sides were tied, the audience had already realized that in this game between the eighth and fifth, JDG, which was ranked eighth, clearly had the advantage. This also proves that being strong in the regular season does not mean being strong in the playoffs.
In the third game, both sides exchanged heroes in the bottom lane. This time it was Imp's turn to pick Vayne and Brother-in-law picked Kaisa.
But the final result was not the opposite. Big Brother-in-law was still beaten by Imp in the laning phase. Vayne couldn't beat Kaisa, and Kaisa couldn't beat Vayne. Imp successfully performed a forehand and backhand teaching.
The final score of this Bo5 game was 3:1. In the last round, the bottom lane heroes of both sides were exchanged again, and then...
Mystic still lost the laning phase!
The gap in the bottom lane was vividly reflected in today's game. It was not until this time that netizens realized that the era of the "Big Three" was over, and WE and RNG are now gradually unable to keep up with EDG's pace.
the next day.
RNG vs. SDG.
Being able to successfully enter the playoffs is enough to prove SDG's strength. No one dares to underestimate them now, including RNG, which was eliminated in the regular season.
Although they have some grudges with the club, Uzi and others still take the game seriously. The playoffs are not like the regular season. If you lose the game, you will completely lose the chance to move on. No one wants to be eliminated early.
The first game ended quickly and RNG won easily.
After the adjustments in the regular season, Xiaohu finally found his form, Hu Da Laobi transformed into General Hu again, and Ryze carried the game like crazy, easily winning the MVP of the first game.
Compared to the first game, the second game was much more stalemate. SDG fell into a disadvantage at the beginning, and the economic gap with RNG continued to widen. However, the SDG players played very resiliently and delayed the game to the late stage.
Unfortunately, in the final team battle, Uzi played bravely and delivered amazing output under the protection of his teammates, but in the end RNG won the game.
2:0.
In fact, the Bo5 game has basically lost its suspense at this stage, and it is not that easy to come back from - down to - down.
And this is indeed the case.
After losing two games in a row, the flaws of SDG players were gradually exposed. The team is basically composed of new players who have just entered the LPL. They are very motivated, but when they are in desperate situations, their mentality is easily affected.
The final score of the Bo5 was 3:0, RNG defeated SDG and successfully advanced to the second round of the playoffs, once again proving that being strong in the regular season does not mean being strong in the playoffs.
Looking at the players in great shape on the field, Kwon Jong-hyuk's eyes lit up.
With this momentum, wouldn't it be easy to defeat EDG?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt an urge:
"How about... taunting Shen Lang again?"
