Chapter 25: The Battle for Qualifying (1)
After winning the VGA, FD's points are 2-0, which is a very good record.
However, DRG's record is not bad, it is also 2-0, their first is to play IGA, the second is to play the Kings, the two teams are now at the top of the list, and the next battle between them basically lays down who is the real king in Group A.
From the audience's point of view, most of them feel that 4-6 opens, and the probability that DRG can win is only 4 percent. Because they had a pitiful low win rate against FD in the spring, they hardly won much.
Strictly speaking, the current DRG is much stronger on paper than the previous FDG.
If the team in the S4 World Finals is replaced by the current DRG, it remains to be said whether FD can win the championship.
Although Ah Guang and his sister ran away, they were replaced by even more powerful.
The newcomer assists Dabao, who is the leader of this new generation, even Hirano Lin thinks it is very good, and his strength is not worse than that of his sister, and he played well in this spring game, and won several MVPs.
Jungler Zhang Lei, as his name suggests, is as stable as a stone, belongs to the top control map jungler, Pig Girl, Nunu, Spider and other heroes are all good hands, very suitable for the current version and the DRG team, and Huang Chenghao's midfield cooperation is almost perfect.
The only flaw is the order.
The top order is Brother Saint Gun, logically speaking, he shouldn't have a problem.
But there are three points to the problem with Brother Gun.
The first point is that he has been following FD, and due to his age, he can only play in the LPL and cannot go to the World Championship.
Although the current LPL has a new rule that it is forbidden to play professionally under the age of 16, Brother Saint Gun just turned 16 this year, so he played at an unspecified age, and when it came to the specified time, the age was just right, making him now glorious as a starter in DRG.
In the past, he has always been a substitute for Brother Leg, and the number of appearances is not too much, and it is not particularly small to say that it is not too little. There are about one-third to one-quarter of the playing opportunities in a season, such as S4, a total of 43 games and 86 innings, and he played 12 games.
The biggest problem caused by such intermittent play is that it is easy to accumulate too much game experience, unable to cultivate his steady character, and easy to wave.
The second point is that his strength has improved.
Some people may wonder, isn't this a good thing? How could it be a problem?
In fact, it's really a problem, the golden age of League of Legends is 16-22 years old. If Brother Saint Gun could only be regarded as a T1-level acrobatic top list last year, then this year's strength would be stronger, and even under Yun Luoyang's tutelage, it is still unknown to grow into a T0-level top list.
However, the version of the first half of the S5 is the most unfriendly version of the carry type of the top order like the Holy Gun Brother, and the top order will always be a meat tan like the big tree and the big insect Mondo, and the warrior top order is completely abolished.
This makes this make even if the Holy Spear Brother is stronger than Ah Guang in terms of lane strength, technical operation, or team battle smell, the run-in with DRG is not very good.
He is very unaccustomed to using meat to develop on a single slur, so in the game, he often takes out a warrior who is not suitable for this version, such as Ruiwen Jianji and the like, but this version needs to be partial to the operation and the upper single meat Tan single belt, the warrior hero is useless, and it is almost abolished.
Therefore, even if the strength is improved, if you show off the unsuitable version of the warrior hero, it is far less effective than someone else's slag mix, and then the front-row tank that absorbs countless damage in the team battle is useful.
In this case, the increase in strength will make Brother Saint Spear have a feeling of doubting life.
Why is he so strong, but he can't play an advantage?
The third point is the run-in problem.
Huang Chenghao, as the captain of DRG, naturally hopes that Brother Shenggun can change, if he can, it is best to practice meat tan, learn how to resist pressure, and become a qualified blue-collar top laner.
This kind of change run-in period is very painful, and many professional players will experience this change when making changes, resulting in a decline in strength and various problems.
The most typical example is the buckle meat, S5 in the first half of the meat Tan version of the buckle meat is simply booming, Ma Run is hanging, almost invincible in the world.
In the second half of S5, the Rise of Warriors version, the buckle meat was completely unsuitable and underwent a very failed transformation.
That sword in one hand is simply a meal.
Although Brother Saint Gun is also slowly changing, it is in the middle of such a run-in and style change, which leads to the fact that DRG's upper road is very unstable, and Brother Saint Gun's performance is naturally very bad.
If it weren't for the support of the two veterans, Huang Chenghao and Chen Hui, and the performance of the newcomers in the jungler and support was not bad, with the current version of the Holy Gun Brother pulling his hips, perhaps the results of this spring game would not have been able to reach third place at all.
But it can't be helped.,S5 operating version,In the first half of the year, it's really unfriendly to the top order of Brother Saint Gun.,DRG If you can change to an order like Brother Leg、Ma Run, which can freely switch between blue-collar and carry orders,It can be regarded as invincible.,Even FD can't touch them.。
But the current version suitable for Brother Saint Gun has to wait for another two months, and now DRG can only be placed under FD and Guodian, and as a goalkeeper of a T0-level team, it can be regarded as a pseudo-strong team.
To put it simply, the spring version is not for them. DRG won't officially take off until after the start of the summer season.
So, at this time, FD collided with them again in the playoffs.
April 16, the second day of the playoffs.
FD's first game today was against the second team DRG.
This game is also the focus of Group A, because both teams are currently 2-0, and basically whoever wins will go to the final of the spring match against Guodian Huishi.
Unless that happens, which is where FD now wins DRG but loses in the last game against IGA, the score becomes 3-1. Although DRG lost to FD today, but won the last game of the afternoon against VGA, then the score of the two sides will be the same, and there will be a play-off match.
However, this is extremely rare, and the score of the small game will also be calculated. For example, although both teams may play a 3-1 record, but FD is crushed 2-0 in the game against other teams, and DRG has played a 2-1 score, then there will still be no play-off, and the winning and losing points will be enough for FD to be sent to the finals.
Therefore, this competition, in everyone's opinion, basically determines who will go to the finals of the spring competition.
If FD wins, FD goes, and DRG wins, DRG goes.
At present, Guodian in Group B is far ahead, also with a 2-0 record. However, the OMA, DGL, Snake team and WERA in Group B have no competition with Guodian, and each of Guodian's opponents will easily win 2-0 with a crushing attitude, and almost everyone feels that Guodian's 4-0 qualification is inevitable and there is no suspense.
So at present, the only highlight of the 2015 LPL Spring Playoffs is whether FD will play with Guodian, or DRG will play with Guodian.
For FD, who has countless fans, more than 90% of the audience definitely wants FD to enter.
However, there are no absolutes, as FD's second team, DRG, who also has countless fans in the S4 finals, FD's fans can't hate them. It can only be said that no matter which team enters, as long as it does not lose to Guodian and successfully breaks into MSI, at least it will not be scolded, and the two teams are one family after all.
