2023-08-08 07:30:32

The LCK summer regular season of “League of Legends” came to an end last week. Before the summer playoffs start today (8), let’s review the LCK summer regular season.

This season, KT got rid of the past misery and won the first place in the league once more following five years, squeezing the spring champion GEN to the second place, while HLE and DK are still wandering in the middle, but T1, which is almost invincible in the spring regular season, because Faker’s injury fell to the bottom, and only one player even ranked in the top three teams of the summer.

After KT lost to GEN in the second game, it started a winning streak of 16 games, of which only five games were played in three rounds, and the rest defeated their opponents in straight sets, and finally won the 17W1L master class record.

In the LCK summer voting, five players successfully dominated the first team, Lehends won the regular season MVP, coach Hirai also won the best coach award, and the third place in the spring is enough to prove that this year’s KT no the same.

GEN maintained its strength in the spring in the summer, and achieved 16W2L in the whole season. Interestingly, one of the losses was in the last game once morest BRO, which was at the bottom. status.

In the voting, GEN also dominated the second team position, and the super rookie Peyz won the best rookie of the year with excellent results.

In the Player of the split (POG points) ranking, DK Canyon and HLE Zeka also scored 12 single-game MVPs, tied for first place with 1200 points, and three players tied for the third place with 900 points, namely KT Bdd, GEN Chovy and Peyz.

The third team of the year is composed of players from three teams, namely: HLE Viper, Life and Zeka; DK Canyon; T1 Zeus. In the spring, T1, which was the first team with five players, experienced a big downturn in the summer. In the end, only Zeus won the individual award among all T1 members.

The fighting in the second half of the LCK this season can be said to be very intense. At one time, four teams won four games and competed for the last playoff ticket. However, BRO, LSB and NS all won only one victory in the follow-up. KDF had an even worse four-game losing streak. Unexpectedly, DRX, which only had three victories in the end, won three victories in the last four games, and instead stood out to get tickets.

An interesting incident happened on the last day. DRX defeated KDF in straight sets in the first game, but due to similar results, KT must beat LSB if they want to advance. At this time, the editor of DRX tweeted The avatar was changed to the KT team logo, and I wanted to help them cheer.

I just didn’t expect that following KT won the first game, under the permission of the LCK system and the ranking that has nothing to do with this game, they sent all the members of the second team to the field. The reason was to let them learn from experience.

This move made DRX, who was concerned regarding the promotion qualification, break into a cold sweat, but what was even more unexpected was that LSB actually lost 11:23 to the second team of KT, which only finished fifth in the secondary league (LCKCL). .

But this matter is not over yet. After the game, when the DRX official tweeted to change the head stickers back, they suddenly found that they might not be replaced (the Twitter mechanism cannot change the head stickers in a short period of time). At this time, the number of followers reached 250,000 DRX accounts , the team logo of the other team was still hung, and an unexpected and interesting episode dissipated the smoke and gunpowder on the field.

The LCK summer playoffs will start at 4 pm today (8/8), with Space Battleship HLE and last year’s world champion DRX leading the charge. Tomorrow it will be the turn of the old rivals DK and T1, waiting for the second round They are KT and GEN, viewers who like the game remember to tune in on time.
