Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The LOL Demacia Cup officially started yesterday, and after the pre-match match-fixing team turmoil, there were only four teams left in the TES group, and after a wave of single-round robin BO1 mode competition, the TES team successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
The team that threatens the most in this group is WE, which also caused some problems for TES in the final battle.
TES has three opponents in the group, namely UP, EQX and WE, among which the EQX team's strength deviation, the UP team has lost Hary this year, there is no Ning, and the middle lane has introduced Yuekai, the overall lineup configuration is very poor, and it is basically the level of the dark king in the LPL.
As everyone expected, the two teams TES and WE won one after another and met in the final round, in this game, the TES team was frantically targeted in the lower lane, and JKL was banned multiple ADCs in a row, and finally selected Senatamu, and as a result, he also completed the line kill of the WE lower lane in the lane period.
WE fell into a huge disadvantage in the lower lane, and a tactic on BP completely failed, and could only rely on the upper midfield to play, and Heng and Fofo played well in the early game.
TES was counterattacked by WE many times in an advantageous situation, and TES itself also made some mistakes, but the overall lead has always been there, including a wave of big dragon team battles in which the opponent took the lead in targeting and killing, and the follow-up team battle Crème's one-handed Akali was a direct entry double kill, TES played a wave of wonderful 3v5, of which Xiaotian's wave of R flash was also a great achievement.
In the end, TES successfully defeated WE to advance to the quarterfinals, and in the quarterfinals they will face the best JDG team of the year, which will be a tough battle and a litmus test for TES this lineup.
Before the start of the group stage, what everyone is looking forward to the most is actually the "national team down" combination of JKL and Meiko, because in this year's Asian Games selection, in the first version of the national team list, JKL and Meiko were paired down, but later due to some special reasons, JKL was replaced by ELK.
As the coach of the national team, Zhu Kai has repeatedly said that the combination of JKL and Meiko is very strong, and he has also hinted that JKL is the absolute core of the first version of the national team, so everyone wants to see what this pair of bottom lane combinations looks like.
Judging from the performance of this group stage, JKL and Meiko played really well, completing many lane kills, and the competitive state in the middle and late stages was also very good, without any mistakes.
As for the WE team, the most anticipated thing actually comes from the bottom lane, they introduced the Prince player, who played as a substitute in the FPX team, and then returned to LCK, and went to Europe and the United States to play for a year, is a very young player, has a certain potential and is not cheap, but there were many mistakes in the battle against JKL, and he did not play well in his debut.
Team TES used to be the biggest joke in the LPL, for the simple reason that they spent the most money, but they couldn't bear to look at the results, often pulling their hips in the most crucial games, or playing shocking games in the regular season, and could lose to any underdog, much to the disappointment of fans.
The root cause of this is the lack of stability and discipline of the TES team, and the team cannot solve problems after encountering them, and this year's TES team is focusing on improving their own problems, and after the rebuilding of the lineup, the arrival of Meiko may be able to help TES.
Personally, I think that from the performance of yesterday's German Cup, the TES team as a whole showed a relatively slow pace of operation, and did not choose a particularly aggressive offensive method even in the case of gaining an advantage, which has disadvantages and advantages, and in yesterday's game against We, TES actually made some mistakes, and it can be seen that the run-in of the whole team has not reached a very high level.
This team can still regard JKL as the absolute core of the team, but JKL itself must become stable enough to get rid of the problem of frequent violent deaths at critical moments, as long as JKL is in good shape, TES is likely to be able to produce results.
