This foreign aid is ridiculously strong

In the standings, in addition to KT taking the lead with 18 wins, DWG, which is ranked second, also has a very luxurious record.

With 16 wins and 2 losses, this record has been able to secure the top spot in the regular season in the past few years of LCK history. However, this year DWG is very frustrated and has to start from the semi-finals.

The current situation in the LCK is that KT is the dominant player, DWG is struggling to catch up, and other teams can barely see DWG's taillights.

The team ranked third in the standings is GEN·G. Samsung, which is loved by big schools, has been criticized by all parties for their playing style. However, their winning rate against the teams in the lower half is very gratifying. Even if they cannot beat the strong teams, they are stable and miserable. Not losing points finally brought them to the top three in the standings.

DRX is ranked fourth. Although Mr. Dai is getting more and more outrageous now, DRX's overall lineup is pretty good. It is not difficult for other players to carry Mr. Dai into the playoffs.

T1 barely hung on the tail of the left half.

Two rounds ago, T1 fans were still calling Lin Cheng good brother, asking KT to help stop T1's direct competitors.

KT's consecutive victories over GEN·G and DRX have shown their loyalty to the news agency brothers. As long as T1 wins the last two games, they can complete two consecutive jumps to the third position in the standings.

It's a pity that T1 vividly demonstrates what it means to eat without being criticized.

T1 fell off the chain first.

Originally, they had already defeated DRX 2:1 in the ninth week of the game. In the tenth week, after KT defeated DRX in the first game, T1 could overtake DRX in the rankings as long as they defeated Hanwha. In the final round, KT would defeat GEN·G. Another chance to go one step further.

As a result, Hanwha, which had only won two games in the summer split, unexpectedly defeated T1, causing T1 fans who clamored to return to the top three before the game to almost vomit blood.

Why did the victory that was so secure fly away?

You must know that in the end, Hanwha won three games in the entire summer split, two of which were won by T1, and one was won by the 1-17 salted fish team SP.

It is worth mentioning that SP's only victory in the summer was also given by Hanwha.

What this means is: Even a team like SP, which almost lost the entire season, was not beaten twice by Hanwha, but T1 did it!

Originally, T1's last two opponents were not strong. When they saw that KT didn't give up in the early game, some T1 fans couldn't wait to open the champagne to celebrate.

Never would I have imagined that something would happen as soon as the champagne was opened, and the story would end as soon as it began.

The opportunity was given to him, but he didn't use it.

And this is not over yet. After an upset loss to Hanwha, T1 also lost to AFS with a backhand in the last round.

After two consecutive losses, T1 finally locked in the fifth place in the regular season. They will start from the wild card round of the playoffs.

However, T1 fans have never lacked optimists. After beating KT in a small game, they dared to covet the S championship trophy. At this time, they began to arrange the script again, preparing to perform the miracle of one through four in the playoffs.

As for the right half of the standings, except for AFS, which finally lost hope of entering the playoffs by one point, the other teams had already announced their elimination early.

Sandbox's performance this season is also very poor. The three outstanding players from the secondary league who came up last year have completely gone their separate ways this year.

DWG moved forward bravely to compete with KT. Sandbox went to play with the rotten fish and shrimps at the bottom of the league, while Griffin returned to the secondary league.

As for Hanwha, it's even worse. Their investment this year is actually not small. CuVee, Haru, Lehends and Viper who joined midway are not cheap, but they just achieved shitty results.

Since the acquisition of ROX, Hanwha has put a lot of effort into the League of Legends division, but the ending always makes fans sad.

Especially this year, Hanwha was very close to signing Lin Cheng, but was eventually intercepted by KT by chance.

Hanwha fans who later learned the truth were in tears.

The regular season officially ends on August 23. According to the schedule, the finals of the playoffs are scheduled for September 5.

KT hasn't played any games in almost two weeks. Everyone mainly plays RANK to keep up the game, and also makes appointments for training matches with other teams.

On August 26, the playoff wild card qualifying round started, and Lin Cheng watched the game with his teammates at the base.

The wild card qualifying round is a BO3 format, with DRX, ranked fourth in the regular season, facing off against T1, ranked fifth.

What is surprising is that T1's lineup was adjusted before the game, and Faker appeared on the starting list.

This sudden change of players was beyond everyone's expectations. LCK commentators were speculating whether Coach Jin hoped that Faker would use his rich playoff experience to help the team.

Of course, there is also a more sinister guess that no one has said:

Since Coach Jin was sprayed bloody by T1 fans in the last two consecutive losses, there is a possibility that Brother Li will be lifted up to jack up the tank.

Brother Li basically didn't play any training matches in the second half of the league, so suddenly being promoted in the playoffs was a bit of a rush.

If you lose, Coach Kim will have a reason: Look! You guys keep scolding me for not letting Faker play, and the effect of his playing is not good.

do not doubt! Coach Jin’s ability to deflect blame is absolutely top-notch.

From when he was coaching IG to coaching DWG, he had the experience of blaming his players in interviews.

It turns out that not all coaches are like Kkoma who take the blame for their players!

If I didn't cherish him properly at first, it was only after I lost him that T1 fans remembered how good Coach Kkoma was.

In the end, Li Ge's appearance failed to help T1 win. Even before Mai Ge started to revitalize DRX, he easily took away T1 2:0.

The dreams of T1 fans were shattered, one wears four and they die at the starting point.

In fact, T1's elimination is not a surprise. After all, T1, as the runner-up in the spring split, was too turbulent in the summer.

The rhythm outside the court is constant all day long, the team is in turmoil, and fans are frantically looking for moles.

It’s a shame that T1 can still perform well under such circumstances. If they can still reach the finals like they did in the spring, it can only be said that the other teams in the LCK are responsible.

Since U.S. capital was injected into T1 Comscart and took over the operation, advertisements for T1 players have become more and more popular, and the number of team sponsors has increased.

The club is making money, but its results are getting worse and worse.

In fact, there is another very important point. The departure of Triple Crown coach Kkoma has a great impact on T1.

Although BP has been criticized, Kkoma's good control of the team atmosphere is definitely top-notch.

He can coordinate his relationship with all the players and make them focus on the game, but Coach Jin cannot do that.

Because T1 is so special, players like Faker are shrouded in aura but are not very good at getting along with other people. Coach Jin's strong and iron-fisted character cannot tolerate the players and extreme fans like Kkoma.

The final result is that the teams that Coach Jin has been in often don't have a particularly good atmosphere within the team.

T1's new management team obviously did not consider this aspect and let Kkoma go without hesitation, thus starting a series of wonderful palace battle stories for T1.
