Introduction: The S15 season has officially begun, and I believe most players have been closely watching the recent competitions. The matches in the LPL region are extremely fierce. The AL team, a prominent contender this season, has struggled since the beginning of the third phase, encountering numerous challenges. After their match with WBG, their manager Ailaugh surprisingly posted again, filled with sarcasm, claiming to have "five kills WBG," suggesting that the strong remain strong. Initially, everyone intended to mock and tease him, only to find that WBG was the one who initiated the fight. When WBG won the first round, they also publicly mocked the AL team.
Most players are still quite interested in the AL team. During the transfer period, the overall strength of the AL roster was not particularly strong, leading many to believe they might become a mid-tier team in the LPL. However, they achieved remarkable results in the first and second phases, even clinching the championship in the second phase. After the start of the third phase, the performance of the AL team fluctuated significantly, possibly due to a long period without rest. As the competition progressed, the AL team gradually regained their form, defeating two strong teams in succession and finding their rhythm.
The sweep of WBG was indeed unexpected for many players; the two matches felt almost like a bot match. In the first game, just four minutes in, Tarzan easily dove under the tower to kill Liu Qingsong. By the sixth minute, WBG retaliated in the top lane, with Saint Gun suffering from consecutive dives, and Light was taken down by Saint Gun while tanking the tower. The pivotal moment came during the 15-minute herald team fight, where WBG initiated and secured the herald, but AL executed a perfect disengagement, achieving a clean five-for-zero exchange. After securing the dragon at the 17-minute mark, AL had a firm grip on victory, ultimately winning the first match comfortably at the 29-minute mark.
The second match felt like a copy-paste of the first; WBG seized an opportunity and, just four minutes in, three players forced a kill on Saint Gun in the top lane, but shortly after, Saint Gun solo killed Light. The team fight at the 21-minute mark was the turning point of this match, where WBG initiated, but Shanks delivered a perfect ultimate, and Saint Gun's crocodile charged the backline, resulting in a three-for-zero exchange. Ultimately, AL secured victory at the 31-minute mark, defeating WBG with a score of two to zero. After the match, the most teased player was WBG's AD carry Light, who seems to be out of form; if there were a better AD, he should probably be benched.
With four consecutive wins, the AL team is steadily climbing the rankings, now sitting at fourth place in the LPL. Manager Ailaugh has publicly mocked WBG again, claiming five kills WBG, stating that the strong remain strong. Some fans who might not know the backstory may attack Ailaugh again, as he previously made some overly arrogant remarks, even mentioning foreign battles and watching pandas. However, it must be said that he has done nothing wrong this time, as WBG had previously mocked AL, stating that the canyon is not merely a contest of rankings, but a test of courage and tenacity.
It seems that the AL team's state is gradually improving; after defeating several top-tier teams in the LPL, they have achieved four consecutive victories and secured fourth place, stabilizing their rhythm, which should make it relatively easy for them to enter the playoffs. Honestly, I think fans would prefer to see strong teams advance to the World Championship, while unstable teams might just end up being a lottery draw.
What do you think about this situation, dear viewers?
