As time goes by, the 2018 LPL Summer Season regular season is coming to an end.

There is basically no suspense in the subsequent games. The teams that can qualify will make their mark early and can be distinguished from the first half of the regular season.

EDG is also in danger, with less losses and more losses in the second half of the game, and even reached the top of the standings with points.

Many people attribute this to Chen Wei's metaphysics. As long as he plays, EDG has never lost. When Ray plays, it doesn't mean he won, but the number of times is very few.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Wei gradually became EDG's starting top laner, while Ray became a substitute.

Of course, this is not entirely due to metaphysics, and Chen Wei’s own transformation is also an important reason.

Coach Nofe found that during the game, Chen Wei seemed to have more voices.

He used to be just one word - mixed up.

Usually, there is no top laner in the entire game, and the director is unwilling to give the camera to the top.

But in the recent game, Chen Wei began to take the initiative to swim, and may not be able to gain much advantage in laning, but Gank helped his teammates without losing the upper hand.

The most important thing is that even if you walk frequently, the development of the road is not bad at all. While teammates get up, they do not become a breakthrough. This is also the reason why EDG wins more and loses less in the second half of the regular season.

Chen Weicai now truly conforms to EDG's "aesthetics", and such a top-select is the top-select that EDG needs.

Of course, the regular season is just a warm-up, and the real competition depends on the playoffs. Some teams are good at bo1 and bo3, but they are very bad at playing bo5.

Nofe did not give up on Ray. If EDG can enter the World Championship and can use Ray, he is still quite fierce when fighting abroad.

In other words, Chen Wei did not sit firmly in the starting position, and he is not the indispensable person for EDG.

...

The summer season system of 2018 is a bit complicated, and this year LPL adopts the home and away system for the first time.

All the matches are divided into two areas, the regular season stage, the same area will perform a group double cycle, and the other area will perform a group single cycle, the winner will receive points, and the loser will not receive points.

In the end, the top four teams in the two divisions entered the playoffs.

The first in the competition area enters the second round, the second in the competition area enters the first round, the third in the competition area and the fourth in the other competition area are played, and the winner enters the first round.

Simply put, the first place in the east and west regions will directly enter the semifinals, and the second place will directly enter the semifinals.

Although the competition system is complicated, this is indeed the fairest. IG, who has won 18 consecutive games in a row, cannot be on the same starting line as EDG, who has won 9 wins.

The four teams that advanced to the Eastern Conference are: IG, RNG, JDG, and SNG.

Among them, IG leads the scores, while RNG and JDG have the same scores, while SNG has a point behind, with only 10 points.

Compared with the Eastern Conference, the Western Conference is obviously much worse, and EDG is indeed lucky to qualify.

The first place RW leads with 14 points, but the second place EDG has only 9 wins, so it can't even go out in the Western Conference.

The scores of the TOP and FPX in the latter are almost the same, and they bite very tightly, and the level of the three teams is almost the same.

When the standings come out, the opponents of each team's playoffs can be roughly determined, and EDG will compete with the winners of FPX and JDG for the semi-finals.

When they learned the news, everyone in EDG was immediately happy.

"We won't meet JD.com again, right?"

The factory manager said with a relaxed expression.

The regular season game between JDG is still vivid in my mind. I wonder if Zoom will have a psychological shadow when facing Chen Wei again.

Because Sain was popular with the death flow, Zoom became popular, and many people deliberately made the scene of that game into a gif. On one hand, Sain was demolishing the tower, and on the other hand, Zoom was wearing a mask of pain on his face.

Chen Wei thought about it and he vaguely remembered that in the knockout round, it seemed that JDG really won. FPX is not the little phoenix of the S9 team, and its strength is still slightly inferior to JDG.

"It should be JDG winning, but we must also be prepared for both. There is only one chance in the playoffs, so we can't relax at all."

Coach Nofe poured cold water on the team members.

Don’t think that you can win the playoffs by winning the regular season. The team’s strength is not constant. After all, it depends on the players’ performance.

Let’s give the simplest example.

LGD won EDG, FPX, and JDG. It won a lot of teams at the top of the standings, but it just couldn't beat the worst VG.

You should know that VG only has two points in the entire regular season.

"That's right, we can't underestimate it either JDG or FPX. Zoom is quite powerful. I shouldn't be his opponent in the laning."

Chen Wei has a clear understanding of himself. If he remembers correctly, JDG will crush EDG in the semi-finals and even almost grab EDG's place in the World Championship.

Of course, now he is EDG's starting top laner, and the final result must be different. If the butterfly flaps its wings, everything will change.

...

The playoffs will be held as scheduled.

Although there was no match, after the game started, coach Nofe still asked everyone to stop their work and watch the game live broadcast.

However, the result of the game surprised Chen Wei.

Although I know that the playoffs may change under the butterfly effect, I didn’t expect the change to come so quickly.

JDG, who was supposed to win FPX 3:1, was beaten 3:1. Although the scores are the same, the teams before and after the scores are completely different.

Zoom has always been a stable Carry point for JD.com, but in the game against FPX, his performance was not at the same level.

Gimgoon is also a top laner with rich game experience. Zoom is not able to take much advantage of him at normal level, let alone when he performs abnormally.

"His mentality hasn't been adjusted yet, right?"

The factory manager looked at Chen Wei in surprise.

In his opinion, JDG should win today's game, and he is even mentally prepared to play against Clid again.

"It shouldn't be...that's not."

Chen Wei was not sure. Logically speaking, it was just that the crystal was stolen once, so there was no need to remember it for so long.

Looking at Zoom who was a little lost on the stage, Chen Wei could only wish him good luck, after all, this was also a top laner he liked very much.

I hope he can still hold up the goblet next season and be an upper-class duke.

The playoff schedule is very compact. After determining the opponent, the next day there will be a match between EDG and FPX. Fortunately, the coaching staff made full preparations in advance.

"We may not be opponents from IG and RNG, but we must win the game against FPX tomorrow. This is related to the quota of the World Championship. I hope everyone will pay attention to it."

Nofe said sincerely.

World Championship tickets are not just for summer seasons.

The global finals are held in South Korea, which means there are only three places in the LPL.

Needless to mention the No. 1 seed, the summer championship is directly sent, which is also the farthest away from EDG.

The second seed is not the runner-up in the summer season, but the team with the highest points in the spring and summer seasons.

The third seed is the second-ranked team in the spring and summer seasons.

Thanks to its good performance in the spring season, EDG has the opportunity to compete for the third seed. If you win FPX and RW performs poorly, then you can get the quota directly.
