The LPL Spring Season is in its second week, but things are getting worse for some teams. The EDG team has lost four games in a row since the start of the season, making itself further and further away from the playoffs at the beginning of the season;
And in the LCK competition area next door, a similar "darkest hour" plot is also being staged. DRX's rookie jungler was robbed of four big dragons by his seniors in the same BO3 game, and he was only one step away from breaking the Dao Heart. Let's take a look at today's LOL circle hot spots.
EDG's four-LDL lineup is hard to find
It took only three months to go from a bubbling team to a hard-to-win one, and the pressure has been high this season on EDG. Since the start of the regular season, they have lost all four games, and there is a faint sense of the WE team during the sixteen-game losing streak. In the last game against BLG, EDG changed to a lineup of four LDL players. As a result, jiejie's circle of fields has not been brushed yet, and it has already exploded in three ways.
BLG's strength is one thing, but this season's EDG's rotation, player status, or squad strength are far less than in previous years. From swapping out the mid-roster in the offseason to rotating Ale and Le**e after the start of the season, EDG is almost a brand new roster today. And in the next fixtures, it seems that this lineup will be maintained to the end.
In EDG's post-match interview, Jiejie was asked about the recent rotation of personnel and whether it will be adjusted again in the future. Jiejie himself responded: "Now that the personnel are basically stable, we may have to do more in-depth research on the content of the game, and we need to pick out some details to make our own team stronger." ”
The Feb. 6 game against FPX was the last game of the EDG year. At the squad level, the gap between the two teams is not huge. The outcome of this game will determine whether EDG's players can have a good year. If it really ends the previous year's schedule with five consecutive defeats, it will be a huge blow to the mentality of the players.
DRX was robbed of four big dragons in a round of BO3
As the most important neutral resource, the role of the dragon in the professional arena is undoubted. With the rhythm of the game in hand, the side with the dragon buff dominates the progression. On the other hand, Dalong was robbed and the most devastating thing during the game. But in last night's DRX match against KT, there was a situation where one side lost four big dragons.
KT's Jungler Pyosik, ADC Deft, and Support Beryl are all DRX veterans, but they showed no mercy in this game, beating up their old club. Among them, the blackest hand is Pyosik, in this round of BO3 to the old club's newcomers to the jungle Sponge on the strength, three games to win three big dragons. The fourth dragon was snatched by BDD's clockwork.
In the end, KT defeated DRX 2-1 to get this point, and DRX jungler Sponge burst into tears on the spot. Although it happens from time to time in professional competitions, when this happens in the same round of BO3 on the same night, and it is still the same player, the pressure is not something that everyone can withstand. (Still robbed by four different heroes).
And since the S12 championship, DRX seems to have run out of luck. In the past two seasons, they have been at the bottom of the league. This season, he only finished 1-5 in the league, ranking 9th in the league, and basically missed the playoffs. I hope that after this season, the players will not be broken.
The Tsar has its own bugs, and many players have been hit
The referee report of a League of Legends match is something that players usually pay less attention to. However, in many cases, the content of the referee's report cannot be ignored.
A few days ago, the LPL tournament officially announced the content of a new report, which showed that in the second game of LNG vs. OMG, Scout used a game bug that had been notified of the ban in the game, and it was determined that it did not affect the fairness of the authorities' game, and it has been punished according to the rules.
The bug content report doesn't explain it, but there's no doubt that Scout chose the Tsar at the time. And in the opening match between TES and BLG, Creme's Czar also triggered a bug. So we can be sure that the reason for the bug is because of the Tsar.
The current version is biased towards a slow pace, and the big core in the middle is frequent. Many mid-laners (Crema, Knight), who were originally good at assassin heroes, changed their playing style and chose the Tsar. If even an old mage like Scout can't avoid this hero's bug, then there may be similar problems in the future.
Perhaps Riot designers should consider temporarily disabling the Tsar's option until the bug is fixed.
