In the LPL spring playoffs lineup released by League of Legends, it can be seen that the overall strength and intensity of the teams in the top half are far greater than those in the bottom half. JDG, the first in the regular season and the top favorite to win this season, is waiting for the challenge of its opponents as the defending boss in the fourth round. In the previous two rounds, there are strong teams such as WBG and BLG. Even RNG and TT, which only finished eighth or ninth in the regular season, their lineups have a very high ceiling on paper and are teams that cannot be underestimated.
Looking back at the five teams in the bottom half, in fact, except for EDG, most of the other four teams have their own problems, or their lineups have some shortcomings. For example, TES has been in poor form recently, and LNG may also have problems with his personal abilities in other positions except midfielder. Although OMG performed very well in the regular season, the shortcomings of the hero pool have become the team's fatal flaw, and WE's paper strength is actually a relatively weak team in this playoffs.
Therefore, it may be as LPL commentator Guan Zeyuan predicted in the dining hall, if TES can adjust its state, and the three S-game championship-level players of Rookie, Ah Shui and Xiaotian partner up, if they can sweep away the decline at the end of the regular season, The team's paper strength TES will definitely be worthy of any opponent in the playoffs. Therefore, in this playoffs, it is really possible for TES to go through four in the second half. The key lies in TES's own state adjustment.
