The LPL playoffs ushered in two key battles, they were TES against FPX and BLG against IG. Before the start of the game, most of the commentators believed that TES would easily beat FPX, and IG had a chance to play full BO5 with BLG. However, FPX showed strong potential and resilience during the game, and TES was under a lot of pressure in BO5, especially the successful speedrun TES in the first game, which made many LPL viewers excited.
Of course, the upper limit of TES double C is far beyond FPX, so TES does not play with FPX in the later games, but relies on the game operation to support the late stage, as long as it reaches the middle and late stages, TES double C will "swim the dragon" during the team battle, and finally TES successfully let one chase three and advance to the next round of the playoffs. Although TES won in BO5, many fans were dissatisfied with TES's performance, especially the regular season MVP player kanavi, whose performance in the game was really sparse, and many viewers thought that kanavi did not play, so TES was a third-rate team.
After FPX lost to TES, all FPX members were interviewed by the media, and the host asked FPX if they felt nervous after they might play IG in the future? The FPX jungler said that FPX can play with LPL king TES five or five, which has proved that FPX is very strong, and he will not feel pressure to fight any opponent in the future. (Who do you think will win the FPX vs. IG loser's bracket showdown?) )
A large number of LPL commentators and anchors have predicted the win-loss score between IG and BLG before the game, among which Guan Zeyuan admitted frankly that IG is forty percent sure of winning, and commentator Wang Song predicted that IG will defeat BLG 3-2. It is precisely because a large number of LPL commentators support IG that many IG fans expect IG to create miracles, but with BLG crushing IG 3-0, a large number of IG fans have gone to IG's official blog to protest, hoping that IG management can replace Nosuke.
Because IG did not taste a victory in the game, IG officially issued an apology to fans. Many IG fans left messages and analyzed, pointing out that the biggest reason for the IG fiasco is that the ability to assist Meiko is not good, whether it is in the lane stage or in the team battle, Meiko is a team shortcoming. What's more critical is that the position of commander in the IG team is held by Meiko, which makes IG show a cowardly attitude in every game, on the other hand, BLG, all members uphold an aggressive style of play, in such a stark contrast, IG is at a disadvantage in every game, and has suffered repeatedly.
It is precisely because Meiko is not in good shape that BLG has been staring at Meiko to play, and in the end, Meiko's record came to an embarrassing 0/19, and many viewers are sighing that Meiko can give away heads better than TheShy. Even many viewers hope that Meiko can retire next season, after all, TheShy chose to take a year off because of the 1/16 pit of teammates in the game, and many fans believe that if IG changes the auxiliary, then IG still has hope to enter the world championship in the future.
TheShy as the big brother player in the IG team, THESHY's play in this BO5 is really trying, especially Jace in the third game, but also contributed to the audience, a dozen and three counter-kill BIN famous scenes, although TheShy tried his best in the game, but IG still lost in the end, some viewers after seeing TheShy's facial expressions, are speculating whether TheShy is "red and warm to break the defense", after all, the other four people in IG are too pit.
Without any bias, just look at this BO5, I really feel that in addition to the top single, the other four people have a big gap, auxiliary Meiko was crushed by ON, the mid laner rookie is invisible in every game, and the jungler jiejie is more frequent shopping to give away people's heads, and the AD player gala does not have any room to play, how do you feel that today's IG needs to be changed in order to advance to MSI?
