Top Esports’ impressive record stands out from the crowd, and even the giants in neighboring LCK feel a lot of pressure when seeing this.

Since the world championship was won by LPL, the offense and defense of the two major regions have changed and the situation has reversed.

In the past, LPL always caught LCK copying their homework, but now, LCK, which is leading in the version, studies Topbo's games all day long. It's not for anything else. This season, Topbo has a major personnel change, and it is more powerful than last season. Even though LPL is one version behind, they can always come up with new things that are eye-catching.

Especially in the mid lane, it was understandable that GodYi was obsessed with light warrior mid laners such as Yasuo, Yongen, and Irelia, but in S12, this guy has not played by the rules since the beginning of the season. After choosing Jinx and Doinb as the mid laner in the opening game, he often picked some hellish heroes in the regular season hero selection.

He even tried out the "old driver who seeks his own death" that netizens used as a joke, and achieved very good results!
Although the hero pool of this 'World No. 1 Middle School' has gradually become uncanny, in the past two months, the Internet has been filled with highlights of 'GodYi's scripted positioning'. No matter what weird heroes he uses, he can always show off his positioning in all kinds of bad situations, presenting the audience with waves of classic scenes of counter-killing with a sliver of health, or escaping with low health.

After their own media reprinted the news, foreigners from various regions couldn't help but marvel at it when they saw it.

No one outside the competition area cares about the ranking status of other LPL teams, even if the audience thinks that the other LPL teams have no research value. After all, if there was no GodYi, last year's LPL might have ended up in the quarterfinals again. Only the terrifying dominance of Top Esports, the defending champion, in the new season is what they are most concerned about.

All the top teams in the thirteen major regions are focusing on GodYi and studying him diligently.

In LPL, in addition to Top Esports, other teams on the standings have also attracted considerable attention.

Second place: V5!

14-2, the only two BO3s they lost were to Top Esports, and all the other giants were defeated by them.

This also made Rookie and Karsa the talk of the town for a while, and there were even many comments online such as "It's okay for Karsa to leave the team" and "A strong person can shine anywhere".

Even Karsa himself thinks so. Before, he was only the third in command in Top Esports and was called the "dog" in the middle lane by netizens. But now in V5, he is the top leader. In the early stage, even Rookie had to listen to his instructions. The boasting on the Internet made Karsa feel that he had reached the peak of his life.

Even the boss of V5 publicly stated that this "Shi Yi Ye" is absolutely genuine and not even a little bit watered down.

Third place: RNG!

In the new season, RNG Tiger General returns to his old job. Although his reputation has been greatly damaged by being beaten by his former substitutes for two consecutive seasons, it is spring after all, and there is a strange BUFF blessing. After Bin is strengthened in the new season, the jungler Xiao WEI can also take good care of him. Looking at the entire LPL, he, Tiger General, has only three fathers!
Big daddy GodYi, second daddy Rookie, third daddy Scout!

Apart from these three, he is not afraid of anyone and can beat anyone.

Fourth place: JDG!!
JD's lineup has undergone a major change in the new season. The mid and top are former TES teammates, and the jungler kanavi is one of the few top Korean players. If Tarzan is the jungle king boasted and praised by the kings of the road in the Korean server ranking, then kanavi is the real league jungle king. He can decide the outcome of the game as a jungler, and can be a tool to protect teammates as a retreat. I don't know how he performs in major competitions, but in the position of LPL jungler, he is definitely the one who controls thunder and lightning.

The two losers in the bottom lane also left, and were replaced by Hope and Missing in the new season.

Although the two newcomers are not very strong, and their strength is only at the average level of the first line and lane in LPL, the mid, top and jungle are strong and can definitely lead them to dance.

Fourth place in the standings is the best proof!

Fifth place: EDG!!
Sixth place: BLG!!
7th place: WBG!!
No. 8: LNG!!
EDG's performance this season is not good, perhaps because they were slaughtered by TES too early and their fighting spirit was broken, or maybe the players did not adapt well to the version, or maybe they were studied thoroughly by other clubs. But after all, they retained the original team from last year, and even with a pay increase, they could only get fifth place in the new season, which is far from the fans' expectations.

Uzi's team finished sixth.

The highly anticipated Uzi didn't even play in a single game during the entire regular season. Before the game, the club played all kinds of riddles to deceive fans into buying tickets to watch the game. As a result, they spent the whole day promoting the team by filming Uzi watching the game backstage. The results were average, but this deliberate act of suspense made them lose a lot of goodwill, so much so that people on the Internet called BLG a 'hype club'.

As for the seventh-placed WBG, their fame is greater than their strength, mainly because the super popular player TheShy was replaced in the top lane.

But the times are different now. Not only can the gods not come down to earth, but they are always arranged by the opposing jungler. Even if the Sword Demon is chosen, he will occasionally be dragged down by the audience. Compared with the WBG games, the comment section where "zombies" cyber-bully their teammates all day long is more exciting.

LNG, which was hailed as a potential dark horse to win the championship at the beginning of the season, was forgotten by the crowd after the opening game. They lost to any team at the top and could bully the teams at the bottom, thus ensuring a qualifying spot.

The champion mid laner and the champion support have become laughing stocks.

Although they advanced to the playoffs, even LNG fans had no hope for them.

As for the ninth and tenth places respectively, RA and FPX!

The Little Phoenix, which attracted much attention last season and was highly marketed as the "All-World Champions" team, can only barely make it into the first round of the playoffs. If nothing unexpected happens, it will most likely be difficult to make it out. After all, the cornerstone of the team fell apart after the defeat in the World Championship, and now only LWX remains in the team as the dean of the team.

Leading a group of new players to play, he had to both carry the team and be the commander. After two months, Da Congming, who used to be cheerful all the time, no longer liked to laugh and looked depressed.

As for the ninth-placed RA, the big-headed son Iboy is both amazing and unpredictable. Although his old partner FoFo went to BLG last season, they also replaced the mid lane with a more stable big brother 'Toothpaste'. In terms of operation, he may not be as good as the young and strong FoFo, but in terms of experience, the experienced Toothpaste is still quite capable.

They can occasionally compete with the giants in the region, and even snatched a small point from V5, who are second in the standings, but the prerequisite is that the game time must start at pm. If it is after pm, the elderly and frail 'YaGao' will feel sleepy.

There is extensive discussion online about the teams that will advance to the playoffs.

In the following two days, the LPL organizers began to spend money frantically on publicity and promotion, so that the playoffs competition had just begun, but the tickets for offline viewing had already sold out. The enthusiastic summoners were not afraid of waiting, and even the tickets for the finals were pre-sold out in advance.

This also caused the attention of the LPL league to jump to an unprecedented height!
Top Esports naturally does not need to show up too early. As the first in the standings, they put on the resurrection armor and advanced to the semi-finals early, waiting for the challengers who advanced from the lower half to launch a charge against them.

It was also because of the far-reaching influence of the all-Chinese team winning the championship, and Tencent's 10% off sale of skins attracted a lot of goodwill, which made many old players stay after returning. The number of players increased, and the number of people paying attention to the professional league naturally increased.

The first round of the knockout stage was very intense.

Lu Yi was also invited by the organizer to become a special guest to commentate on the games in the lower half. With his unique commentary style and his extremely high popularity, the attention paid to the league is getting higher day by day. Also, a player from the lower half team that has attracted much attention had his value skyrocket after being "gilded" by the king of his own region's commentary due to a wave of wonderful operations!
The audience was enthusiastic and the contestants were full of energy!

The participating teams inexplicably became very daring in fighting, which also led to the viewing experience being maximized to the extreme.

Of course, the league organizers also know who the boss is. In order to invite Lu Yi to commentate, they spent a lot of money on the appearance fee alone. The daily salary for a BO5 commentary is as high as 50!

After a few days, Lu Yi had received so much money that he was overwhelmed.

at last.

The time has come to March 3th!
With the end of the first round of eliminations, Top Esports also welcomed the challenger who came up from the lower half.

BLG!!!

……

"Hello, welcome to the live broadcast of the 2022 LPL Spring Playoffs. I am the commentator Guan Zeyuan!" "I remember!"

“I’m Rita!!”

After the three commentators greeted each other, they began to introduce the two teams. Guan Zeyuan looked at the crowded stadium and said enthusiastically, "It can be seen that as the game gradually enters the hot stage of the playoffs, the enthusiasm of the audience today is higher than in the past few days. BLG is sixth in the regular season standings. After replacing Uzi in the playoffs, the overall state is even more powerful!"

"Uzi also led the team to win two key BO5s and finally came here. He used his strength to tell the outside world that the veteran is still at his peak!"

"Yes, there is no surprise. BLG also announced their starting lineup for today before the game!"

"Replacing Doggo, who played well in the regular season and won a playoff spot for BLG, Uzi will challenge TES, who is at the top of the standings, as the starting ADC!"

Hearing this, I also echoed, "BLG vs. TES, sixth in the standings, challenging for first place! The two teams have a big gap in ranking, but after Uzi, who had been hiding for the entire regular season, appeared on the field, the overall team strength has indeed undergone a qualitative change, and the gap has also been narrowed. The specific extent of the narrowing depends on the performance of the two teams in their first match."

“Yes, Uzi vs. GodYi, this matchup is not ordinary.”

"Which of the two teachers do you think is more promising?" Rita continued.

Hearing this, the two smiled at each other and said in unison, "TES."

"Let's go for the top fight."

"Who is Rita more optimistic about?"

"Need I say that? GodYi has always been my idol, so of course I prefer the current No.3 team!" Rita said excitedly, "Top Esports 0:3, or 1:."

At first, many GSLs thought that the commentary was just like human language, but when they heard the last three people all expressed their support for TES, they became unhappy. The fans holding Uzi posters at the scene even shouted at the stage, "Biased! Biased!"

"We are biased towards you. What's wrong with being sixth in the standings? How can the commentator be biased if he doesn't support you, BLG?" Top Esports fans won't tolerate this.

"Being sixth in the standings is a sign of hidden strength, right? If Uzi had been on the field from the beginning, there would have been no chance for him to play."

"I think anyone with a discerning eye can see that BLG is hiding its strength. Why is Taoza so cocky?"

"Whether he is afraid to face me, Yi, or is he hiding his strength, GSL knows it clearly!"

"What's the point of trying your best to get first place in the regular season? Is there any benefit other than advancing to the semi-finals early and getting a free resurrection armor? I was sixth in the regular season, but now I'm in the semi-finals, right? You, Yi÷, were a standout in the regular season, and you've been studied thoroughly by now, but Uzi only made his move in the playoffs, and he was in great shape in both BO5s. What can Yi÷ use to fight against Uzi?"

"Laughing, using all his skills, is it the same as Jinx mid-lane, Joker mid-lane, or the old driver mid-lane who wants to die? I wonder if he thinks the opponent's strength is too low, so he just plays blindly all the way here?"

"I've studied the classics thoroughly, but I'm out of words for GSL, right?"

"Last season, they were thoroughly studied from the beginning of the summer playoffs. But Yishen played a new hero every time and beat whoever he met. The haters are still using the same excuse now. Isn't that embarrassing?"

"..."

After the players from both teams appeared on the scene, they were still debugging the equipment.

But in the stands, fans of both sides had already had an argument. Although Uzi is very popular, the championship came from the void after all, and naturally he would not have any face in front of the real No. 1 Middle School. As the home court of Top Esports fans, GSL was destined to lose the argument.

After listening to the three commentators predicting the scores and analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, netizens were also amused.

[These guys are polite and say that BLG is not weak, but their bodies are very honest. ]

[After all, one relied on fans to defeat professional players all over the world, and the other relied on real strength to defeat them. The value of their achievements is really different. The commentator’s prediction is indeed correct.]

[Sima Yi, wait for your reckoning! ]

[Today is the final day for you, Yi÷! Xiaogou will personally settle the accounts, you are such a der! ]

[If Yi falls today, I wonder how Tao Za can still brag to your father. ]

【Damn all the clutter! 】

GSL is everywhere, and there are many followers among them, who call it "sentiment" and jump out to bark from time to time.

Amid the outside controversy, the BP image immediately appeared on the big screen.

"Oh? Here it comes!"

"Let's see BP!"

Guan Zeyuan, the commentator, immediately started to analyze the BP of both sides. As the first three BPs of both sides ended, the outside world showed an expression of expectation.

"BLG did not touch Yishen's hero pool. This decision is understandable. After all, this season, Yishen's heroes are really like playing. You can never guess what weird and alternative he will give you next. It feels like Yishen has gone further and further on the road of making things up this season. It just so happens that some of his heroes are weird, but the effect is surprisingly good!"

Guan Zeyuan explained.

"Yes, Yishen's hero pool is for those who don't play. The best way is to just sit back and do nothing." Jiede also said, "But we're already in the semifinals, so he should focus on playing some normal heroes, right?"

"Well... let's wait and see." As the number one fan, Guan Zeyuan didn't know what choice his most supported idol would make.

BLG is on the blue side and has one choice.

“Tam, take it first!” Uzi forced his teammates on the first floor to take down Tam, the hottest support in the current version. Not noticing the strange expressions on his teammates’ faces, he gritted his teeth and said excitedly, “Yi÷! I’ve been sharpening my sword for a whole year just for this moment, Yi÷!!”

He is so excited!
Thinking about settling accounts with his mortal enemy on the stage of the main competition, the fat boy became more excited than ever before, even to the point of blushing with excitement.
