After ten weeks from January 14th to March 26th, the 2023LPL Spring Regular Season ended successfully. Ten teams, JDG, EDG, LNG, WBG, BLG, OMG, TES, TT, RNG, and WE, successfully secured their playoff spots. Among them, the top two in the standings: JDG and EDG have resurrection armor. According to the schedule, the playoffs will officially start on March 30 and the finals will end on April 15. Note: The champion and runner-up of the Spring Split will represent the LPL division in the 2023 MSI Mid-Season Championship.
Let’s talk about it, the first round of this year’s Spring Split was quite interesting, and there were two Bo5s that attracted a lot of topic traffic. RNG and TES were the champions and runners-up in last year's spring split. Both teams performed poorly this year and started playing directly from the first round. Guan Zeyuan said in the dining hall a few days ago that he was optimistic about tes wearing 4. I wonder if tes fans feel trembling. After all, Guan Zeyuan's previous sentence of "Feng Yi Qi Sui" directly killed FPX. On March 30, rng will play against the TT team. The two teams had a "feud" in this year's spring regular season due to the suspension + time and space retrospection incident. The post-match post of the TT management added fuel to the fire. Both sides have reasons to win in this bo5. Whether TT can avenge the regular season, the answer will be revealed tomorrow!
On March 29, Blg officially announced that Tabe coach had joined the hot search, and the accompanying hot search keywords were: rng can’t even keep Tabe. From the perspective of Yujiang Park, Tabe’s departure is actually an inevitable result. RNG has only been short of the final championship since the team was founded, and tabe has been with RNG for three years. Although he helped win two spring championships and two MSIs, these results are still not enough. After all, for rng, a breakthrough in the world championship is the most important. Objectively speaking, RNG can be regarded as a run-down giant in the LPL league. It has no money every year and its lineup is worth tens of millions every year. Three years without changing a coach is really a long time.
However, judging from rng's situation this season, management infighting has obviously affected the record. Now RNG's coaching staff is vulnerable. They are just a polished commander who can say nothing. The understanding of the game version and the understanding of our own players are both too poor. The ability of BP to target and adapt to changes is also very poor. The review of the game to find problems, solve them and guide the players to make adjustments is even worse. Of course, this cannot be blamed on Sin. After all, Sin is only one person with limited abilities and energy. If RNG still wants to achieve results this year, it must strengthen the coaching staff in the spring transfer. If it wants to play, it is recommended to release obvious players during the S13 transfer period so as not to delay each other.
Without strengthening the coaching staff, RNG is likely to be eliminated in the first round of the spring playoffs. It is really difficult for Sin alone to survive. rng's current operation is really a headache. It is no longer as pleasing to the eye as before. Watching the game, you will find that rng always has a disadvantage. After leaving Xiaohu, Xiaowei is also very confused. Sometimes he doesn't know what he should do in the early stage. What to do. Many people had a brain hemorrhage when they saw Monkey in the nip game... Even if they got through the first round with difficulty, in the second round they faced blg who joined Tabe, and there was no hope at all. Tabe knows rng very well. As this is his first bo5 game as a coach, he will definitely be fully prepared.
Summary: Judging from the performance in the last few rounds of the spring regular season, RNG's state is worrying. In the opening game of the first round of the playoffs, if RNG's midfielder performs stably, then I am optimistic that RNG will win. If rng jungler Wei is lost in the jungle again, has no control over resources, and is in a sluggish state, then there is no doubt that TT will win this bo5. In addition, in my opinion, with the blessing of the double-elimination format, JDG's probability of winning the spring championship is basically about 70%. Finally, who do you think will win in the first round of TT vs RNG, WE vs TES? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area for discussion and exchange!
