The departure of the AP Juggernaut has caused quite a stir in the national uniform.

But people are like this, sometimes they don't cherish it, and they don't feel pain until they lose it and want to make it back.

But no matter how the players scold and beg the designer to change the AP Juggernaut back, the ending is doomed, and no matter how much you beg and scold, there is no point.

The sun rises as usual, and there are still countless Master Yi in the world of League of Legends every day. It's just that his outfit is no longer strong.

The 2013 LPL Summer Tournament was still held as scheduled, and Team FD achieved a record of 28 consecutive wins to win the championship in the Spring Season.

This makes countless LPL viewers look forward to the summer tournament and whether they can still create this miracle.

In fact, Team FD now has almost the most fame in League of Legends circles. As the winner of the 2012 World Championship, Yun Luoyang suddenly found a few ordinary passers-by, and forming such a small team as FD should have been a trivial matter that could not make any waves.

Even if there is Yun Luoyang's fame, people are forgetful. It doesn't matter if you're a world champion or whatever, if you disappear from people's sight for a long time, you'll soon be forgotten and disappear into the middle of nowhere.

But with the 2013 LPL Spring Tournament's 28-game winning streak, the FD Dynasty team was remembered around the world and took the No. 1 spot in the Riot Official Team Rankings.

Originally, the No. 1 team in the S3 world in history was South Korea's CJ team, not because Riot had expected the Korean team to win the championship at that time. It's because of the All-Star Game and the major leagues, the Korean team is doing well.

All-star wins, Asian Indoor Games wins, CJ team wins 16 consecutive league games.

In addition to not winning the S3 championship, the Korean team has won almost all the cups, games, and All-Star World events held by Riot.

As many people believe, dignity is not given by others, but earned by oneself with one's own strength.

Nowadays, the FD team is like a new sun that is burning brightly, punching the LPL, kicking OGN, like other leagues such as Southeast Asian leagues, European and American leagues, it has long been left behind and has become the only team in the world.

Therefore, people's expectations for it are infinite, and they always feel that this team can go on a rampage, step on everything that stands in its way, and achieve a generation of hegemony dynasty.

It's just that there is always a time when manpower is exhausted, and even if S3 is an invincible SVT, S4 can't compete with the rising Samsung duo in OGN.

The same goes for the FD team.

Maybe the momentum of the spring tournament is too strong, after the start of the summer tournament, in addition to being relatively easy against the weak team, it is very difficult to win against the royal family and PEA.

It wasn't until the fourth game that FD met the hard-boiled OMA and fought for 35 minutes, even if Yun Luoyang played well, it was difficult to prevent his teammates from making several mistakes to bury the game.

Then the FD team's form began to rise and fall, and by the second round of the league on August 3, the FD team was currently 4-3, and in fourth place, the situation was not very good.

There is no way, the competition in LPL in this life is several times stronger than in the previous life.

Since the FD team has taken the lead in researching many playing styles, the LPL coaches are analyzing and studying the playing styles of FD and learning from them. Many tactics may not be suitable for your own team, but many skills can be learned.

For example, go to other roads after taking the tower on the lower road, such as the eye insertion technique, such as the idea of nosuke double tour, and the vision battle skill in the wild area, the intensity is comparable to the S5-S6 style of play.

For a team as famous as FD, the game video will definitely be studied every day, and after several months of research, it will always be fruitful.

Therefore, the current LPL can be called the world's No. 1 division, which is definitely not excessive.

If the other divisions are still at the level of the previous life, it is estimated that the top three of OGN will not be able to beat the bottom three of the LPL.

Even if a team like SVT is very skilled, if it encounters a few top teams such as OMA, Royal, WEA, and IGA, they may be played to death by playing vision battles and routine battles.

It's not whimsical, it's a fact.

If we look at the global finals in the S3 period, we will see that the period when SVT played the royal family, in fact, it was not crushed by various routines and tactics, it was purely 1V2 in the lower lane, the stupid chicken grabbed people everywhere with rhythm, and faker beat Grandpa Lu in the middle lane.

The mid laner was crushed, the upper road was targeted, the lower lane couldn't be beaten, and their own junglers did nothing, do you think this situation is very familiar? Like a passer-by game qualifying?

Indeed, those games felt like a passerby game qualifying.

If such a situation occurs in the passerby bureau, the top order will definitely have to scold the middle and lower garbage to be pressed like this, and the jungler does not catch people, and sleepwalks in the audience.

But after the technological innovation in this life, although the royal family is still playing four guarantees and one, it has long not become a group of unchanged dead people like in the previous life. Grandpa Lu assisted, and when he was fine, he went to swim with Spider-Man and let the puppy develop alone.

Huang Chenghao ran to the upper or lower road when he had nothing to do in the middle lane, learned from Yun Luoyang, cooperated with the jungler to pack one in three packs, four packs in two, and all kinds of push line wandering tactics to fly, and the whole team was reborn under the influence of FD and had a qualitative leap.

This is actually known as the catfish effect.

If the LPL is a pool of stagnant water, the FD team is the catfish that stirs up the stagnant water, driving other teams to become active and become a stronger team than the previous life.

In fact, both the Korean team and the Chinese team have experienced this kind of change in the last generation.

During the S4 period, the operation style of play gradually took shape, and the Samsung duo took the lead in having the concept of operation, especially the white team, which played this style of play to the extreme, and since S5, the Korean team has become a Korean-style operation game.

However, the Chinese team in the S4 period began to go sideways, instead of studying their own style of play, engaging in technology and innovation, they opened the buy-buy policy.

Since I can't beat you, I'll buy you all.

S4 bought five Han Yuan, including Inset, Lingdan, Naga, Yongxiu, and Aict.

After S5, Samsung Shizi was bought short, and there were more than 20 Han Yuan in China in the entire S5, accounting for one-third of LPL professional players. In addition to the double star ten sons, there are also strong players such as Ka Lai, Combi, Broiler, Ma Datou, Hou Ye and so on.

All of a sudden, LPL was known as the Nakano Hanbok booster, and if the package was not given to win, the domestic players were reduced to lying down to win dogs overnight, so you can know what the domestic competitive atmosphere was at that time.

Therefore, the emergence of the FD team, to a large extent, is to pull back the deviated LPL and step into the formality of technological innovation.

The FD team lost the game, but Yun Luoyang was not so sad.

Because for LPL, it's a good thing.

It also reflects from the side that the current LPL is full of competitiveness, and it is no longer like the spring game, where only FD is dominant, and Yunluoyang is happy to see this happen.

The first round ended with FD 4-3.

In the second round, FD gradually gained momentum, and only lost two games in the entire second round, so that the record became 9-5.

In the third round, the competition became more intense, and the team was 4-3 again, and the final score was 13-8.

Interestingly, OMA became a dark force in the summer tournament, reaching the top with a 15-6 record. The four teams of WEA, Royals, PEA, and FD all have a 13-8 record, ranking second together.

IGA sixth, YGA seventh, and God-given eighth. In this way, God-given and YGA will definitely be relegated, and IGA is only on the verge of relegation.

However, since IGA is second in the spring season, it will also enter the playoffs.

The teams that made it to the playoffs in the last life were IGA, Royals, PEA, and OMA. Because at that time, there were only two places to qualify for the S3 World Finals, so as long as the top two teams of these four teams were decided, they could participate in the competition.

Therefore, the rule at that time was that four teams entered the playoffs, and WEA, because the victory was not as good as PEA and the royal family, even if the record was 13-8, it also failed to enter the S3 selection tournament.

But this life is different, LPL won the All-Star Championship, and there are 3 places.

If we still count according to the previous game, it is that the four teams that will enter the selection round will be the second place IGA in the spring round, the first place OMA in the summer round, the first place FD in the spring round, and the second place royal family in the summer round.

And all four teams have a 75% chance of going to S3, and only one team needs to be eliminated, which is obviously not in line with the purpose of esports.

Therefore, the scale of the playoffs in this world has increased to 6 teams, and all 6 teams will go directly to the selection tournament to increase the competitiveness of the playoffs.

In this way, the playoff spots become six teams competing for three spots: OMA, WEA, Royals, PEA, FD and IGA.

50% chance, that's a lot fairer and consistent with the rules of the playoffs.

On September 7, the qualifiers began.

The 6 teams are divided into two groups of AB by lot, and the group round-robin system is implemented, and the two groups of teams play two BO1 games in the first team, and the six into four battles are carried out, and one team is directly eliminated.

The top two teams then advance directly to the semi-finals, where the draw for the four teams begins. The winner advances to the finals, and the loser advances to the third-place round.

The format should be easy to understand.

In simple terms, let's say that Group A of the first round draw is FD, OMA, PEA. Group B is WEA, IGA, Royalty.

PEA and IGA were eliminated after the first round of group round-robin.

Then the second round is still a draw, assuming that FD and the royal family are divided into a group, and OMA and WERA are divided into a group, then the two sides play a BO3.

The winner of the BO3 of the two sides will directly enter the final, and the loser will be the third-place match, which is the same format as the S match.

The top three will advance to the S3 World Finals.

The playoff winners go straight to the quarterfinals, and the second and third places have to start from the group stage of the S round.

That's the rule.

Everyone in the FD team came to the competition venue early, and after the draw ceremony in the morning, the FD team was divided into Group B, and the more terrifying thing is that OMA was also in Group B, and then IGA.

Group A is WEA, PEA and Royalty.

After the draw, their bald faces are very ugly, Group B can be said to be the group of death, FD and OMA are currently ranked in the top 2 in the world, which can be called two tigers.

Although the IGA Spring Tournament was second, the results of the Summer Tournament were miserable, and it was only after stumbling into the playoffs that I met these two teams that I was afraid that there would be no way to survive.
