The second phase of the League of Legends S14 LPL Spring Tournament has entered the exciting stage of grabbing points. According to the schedule, two matches are scheduled for February 26, namely: the focus battle of TES vs. FPX, and the two matches of IG vs. LGD.
Frankly speaking, after EDG got its first win, the suspense in the first half of the LPL was suddenly reduced by more than half. And the battle between TES and FPX will most likely still be a sweep of TES. Let's find out!
Although TES and FPX have far from each other in their ratings this season, it is still very interesting to see when these two teams come together. In the last five rounds, TES are unbeaten against FPX, and they are still the higher-ranked side in this game. Both teams are teams that like to fight, and TES is the record holder with the highest level of gore. The two teams are on a five-game winning streak and the other is on a three-game winning streak, and they are both in hot form, so will TES become more and more courageous, or will FPX continue to win on the winning streak?
In the first game, TES blue side, ban Qianjue, Tsar, Varus, Male Gun, Zhao Xin, and choose Sword Demon, Ruier, Akali, Senna, and Tamu; FPX red side, ban Ice, Titan, Lenata, Udil, Blind Monk, and choose Quisanti, Ruined King, Karma, Cards, and Big Trees.
In the first game, TES took out their signature Senatamu system, and the middle lane was also a unique Akali, and the overall lineup was a mid-term fight; On the FPX side, it chose the combination of Trist and Maokai, who have been strong recently, and Nakano is the strong Karma and Foyego, and their overall early stage mainly revolves around Nakano.
As a result, in the first game, FPX did not take advantage of the momentum to play rhythm after getting a blood in the early stage, but TES also failed to fight back strongly, and the two teams played an extremely stalemate in 20 minutes. The turning point came around 24 minutes, when TES took down the big dragon directly after the fire card. In the next 29 minutes and 52 seconds, TES went all the way, and in the end, after Ruier scored five kills, TES won one game first!
In the second game, FPX blue side, Varus, Lucian, Calista, Udil, and Quisanti are banned, and Sword Demon, Zhao Xin, cards, Senna, and Titan are selected; TES red side, ban Qianjue, Tsar, Karma, Male Gun, Ruined King, and choose Jax, Blind Monk, Akali, Ezreal, and Ice.
FPX, who lost one game first, chose a double AD lineup with mid-lane cards in the second game, and the overall situation was still in the middle of the game; TES is also a double AD lineup of Ezreal and Ash in the lower lane, the line is stronger but also afraid of being caught, Nakano Akali and Li Qing have strong abilities, just see if they can suppress each other.
As a result, in the second game, FPX played 1 for 2 on the bottom lane shortly after the start of the game and took off directly. Then he controlled the little dragon in a row, and after 24 minutes of the dragon soul group, TES took the initiative to attack, but after being killed by FPX, FPX took the water dragon soul. In the end, 28 minutes and 34 seconds, FPX, which is leading the economy, played a perfect team of 0 for 5, and directly equalized the score in a wave.
In the tiebreaker, TES blue side, ban Qianjue, Tsar, Varus, Jax, Quisanti, and choose Sword Demon, Vi, Akali, Calista, and Renata; FPX red side, ban Lucian, Ice, Senna, Bobby, and Ryl, and choose Jian Ji, Zhao Xin, Karma, Female Gun, and Big Tree.
In the tiebreaker, TES continued to win Akali, and pulled out the strong Callista and Renata in the lower lane, and the overall situation was still in the middle of the game; FPX chose Sword Ji Counter Sword Demon, and Nakano is also a strong combination of Karma Zhao Xin, and the confrontation between the two sides will be very fierce in the early stage.
In the deciding game, the two teams played simply confusingly, with classic reversals. In the first 5 minutes, TES leads; 5 to 15 minutes, FPX leads; 18 to 26 minutes, TES leads; At 26 to 27 minutes, FPX leads; At 29 minutes and 17 seconds, after TES gathered fire and sword Ji, he turned to the fire dragon, but FPX made a desperate bet and stole it directly. As a result, TES was too big to let Akali return to defense alone, but unfortunately Akali alone was unable to resist the FPX trio, and in the end, TES was successfully stolen again.
Frankly speaking, when I saw TES being stolen again, the embarrassed king laughed out loud when he watched the live broadcast. I still remember that in the past, TES was continuously stolen by RNG and RA, and I thought they would have a better memory, but they were still the head iron and continued to be stolen. To put it bluntly, the operation of TES's big dragon is simply like "Xiang".
