LPL finalists just came to an end. RNG lost to DRX in the last final game of the first day to the LCK division, missing the opportunity to stabilize the top spot in the group. The loss in this game is definitely not good news for RNG. LPL fans are also difficult to encourage themselves and say it doesn't matter, because this game is too important for RNG's qualifying situation. Even if you lose this game, RNG's qualifying situation will be difficult. It can even be said that RNG has stood on the edge of the cliff. This is definitely not an alarmist statement from the editor. Look at the game held today. According to RNG's current state, it is very difficult to break through the siege of the second and third place matches.
After the first day of the group stage, MAD from Taiwan, China won two consecutive victories on the first day of the group stage. Even SGB in the Vietnamese region won the first day of the game. RNG is now completely behind in the standings. According to their current state, it is hard to say that they can win the game steadily against MAD and SGB. Once there is any accident in this process, it will be trapped in the abyss of irreversible consequences, and even setting a record of shame in LPL, it is not impossible to be eliminated in the final. After seeing this, many fans may be disdainful and think that RNG will not be like this no matter what, but look at the performance of RNG in the game ended today.
Although there were certain advantages online in the early stage, the handling and decision-making of team battles in the middle and late stages of RNG were like a piece of shit. The team battles that should be fought are not daring to go up and the team battles that should not be fought. Xiaowei team battles cannot be started. Xiao Ming has no MVP-level performance at all. What are the advantages left of this RNG now? It can be said that although this team has been replaced, its thinking and state are still in the summer mode and have not come out at all. The bottom lane duo allies are still there, but they are still as cowardly as an old dog after getting the main attack combination. Xiaohu in the middle lane lost the sharpness he should have. Brother Hub tried his best to be the CARRY team alone, but he still couldn't lead the middle and lower team like this.
After losing this game, RNG basically had no hope of competing for the top spot in the group. It would be better to expect DRX, who is in such a hot state, to lose to MAD and SGB, to expect that it would be better to expect that it can win all the remaining games. Even if RNG has begun to rise and win all the way, if you want to take revenge, you will at least have to go to the knockout stage. So now RNG has been nailed to the pillar of shame. Whether to fight back or just lie down depends on their performance in the end.
But it is impossible to lie flat. The competition for the finalists is still very fierce. Teams such as FNC, EG are eyeing each other, staring at the remaining qualifying places, and continuing to lie flat. Then the LPL team that was eliminated in the finalists will become an eternal shame for RNG. As a veteran LPL team, can they afford to lose this person? Are all the RNG players willing to lose this person? Can such a shame be remembered for the rest of your life? From now on, once the LPL team participates in the finalists, RNG's shame will be brought up again.
To be honest, RNG really lost this game. When many teams in the finalists came up with new things and adapted to the new version, RNG's thoughts remained in the summer season of 12.16, and LPL's slow warming state was once again reflected in RNG. Heroes like Nila and Wei are completely the favorites of the LPL summer season version. They seem to be no longer used in the current version, but RNG is still in the hands of the core. If you are backward in your mind and unable to adapt to the version of the play, how can you not be defeated?
