This year's playoff format of LOL is completely different from previous years, and its strength is very polarized. On the one hand, the upstream teams have shown too strong dominance, while the downstream teams are facing a difficult victory. This result has led to the current promotion format of the mid-level teams being very confusing. So this issue of Playing Cafe Book will give you a brief analysis of the current playoff format.
confirmed the upstream teams to advance:
TES, JDG, V5, RNG, EDG and WBG have all achieved 9 wins so they can prepare for the playoffs in advance. Of course, the remaining games in the regular season are still meaningful to them, because they all still have the chance to compete for the resurrection of the A, and increase the fault tolerance rate for the playoffs in advance.
Mid-level team:
There are more factors to consider from the 7th place. Let’s talk about the AL, the highest-ranking mid-level team at the moment. Although it seems that they only need to win two wins to steadily advance to the playoffs, their schedule is the most difficult among all mid-level teams, because they need to face a total of four teams ranked 1, 2, 4 and 6, all of which are the top teams, and their strength and experience are above AL.
OMG and LNG are currently six wins, OMG is currently optimistic, and the remaining opponents are V5, IG and BLG, and there is only one strong team in V5, and the small score is very high. Even if they lose V5 in the end and get 8 wins, they have the chance to advance by relying on small scores. The situation of LNG is almost the same as that of OMG. They are also facing a strong (WBG) and two weak (RA, WE), and the overall promotion format is the same as that of OMG.
TT teams are currently not as optimistic as OMG and LNG in 5-7, because they need to play five more games and have two strong teams. The overall situation is just better than AL, but considering the team itself, it is not difficult for them to advance.
FPX and BLG are both 5-8 at present. They still have the possibility of theoretical promotion, but the initiative is no longer with them. Even if they win, they can only advance 8-8. Whether they can advance 8-8 depends on the faces of other teams, and they cannot lose one game in the subsequent schedule, otherwise they will basically miss the playoffs.
basically missed the playoffs:
IG, UP, and LGD's three teams have very embarrassing points. Even if they win all the subsequent games, they can only reach 7-9. Judging from the confrontation between mid-range teams this year, 8 wins can have the opportunity to see other teams' faces. There is basically no possibility of advancing to the playoffs. Moreover, considering the strength of these teams themselves, it is difficult to get 7 wins, so they have basically bid farewell to the playoffs in advance.
Prepare for S13 in advance: The format of the two brothers
WE and RA is relatively clear. They can't make it to the playoffs no matter how they play. So for them, instead of studying the playoffs, it's better to study the development of the S13 team. Of course, WE has to fight for the first victory.
Summary: The above is the situation of each team in the playoffs. In addition to the upstream and downstream that you don’t have to worry about, the most opportunities among the midstream teams are LNG and OMG, and the other teams are somewhat worse in the form.
