Alliance: If you block my contract, I will just start!

Abu did not refuse IG's invitation to the training match.

Shen Lang did not refuse Su Xiaoluo's request to play.

As we all know, EDG with Shen Lang and EDG without Shen Lang are completely two different teams. IG wants to improve its strength through training matches, so they naturally come for Shen Lang.

Whenever there is an international competition, EDG will look for IG to play training games, and every time IG is very cooperative and reciprocates. Now Shen Lang naturally will not refuse.

After several training matches, Shen Lang quickly discovered the problems with IG.

In fact, compared with last season, this year's IG has changed a lot. The biggest change is Jackeylove in the bottom lane.

The reason why IG was able to compete with the once powerful EDG last year was largely because of the mid, top and jungle trident. The performance of the bottom lane combination was not very impressive, and many netizens even joked that the bottom lane was the "Trident Handle".

But now A Shui's growth is very obvious. Compared with last year, he is obviously much more stable and his performance in training matches is also very impressive.

But even so, IG still did not win any of tonight's training matches.

Of course, one of the reasons is that Shen Lang is very strong, but IG also has some problems of its own.

It’s not that IG’s players are not strong enough. On the contrary, the individual abilities of IG’s players are not bad. Even the substitute jungler Le Yan has shown good talent. However, in Shen Lang’s opinion, the entire team is like a pot of loose sand.

Personal ability is indeed important, but the outcome of a game does not only depend on the personal ability of the players.

Another thing is that IG players have a strong desire to perform. It seems that every player wants to show himself, but this will give the opponent opportunities.

Especially The shy in the top lane.

He can really kill, and he can really deliver.

Compared to last season, The shy played more aggressively in laning phase. The training match brought Abin a lot of pressure, but League of Legends is a team game.

Shen Lang also didn't understand why he could kill The shy just by going to the top lane.

The key is that after killing him, he went to gank again in the next wave but still didn't learn his lesson, and even did the same in the next training game.

If you catch him on the road, he will die. If you catch him again after he dies, he will die again.

In the last training match, The shy achieved the super ghost achievement under the "care" of Shen Lang and Jiejie. Although the 0-9 vampire still played an extraordinary role in the team battle, it was useless.

So what if the ADC is killed instantly.

Shen Lang used The shy as an ATM to make himself fat, and even when there were fewer people, he could still easily win the team battle.

"If IG continues to perform like this in the playoffs, they probably won't make it far."

This was Shen Lang's comment after the training match.

He was not belittling IG, but that was the fact. In the original timeline, IG still had a chance to wake up. Now that they didn't win the Spring Championship, if they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs like Shen Lang remembered, they wouldn't even have a chance to play in the qualifiers.

"That's not the case..."

The factory manager thought Shen Lang was a bit scary.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang just shrugged and did not explain.

……

Time passed and soon it was August 8rd.

The 2019 Summer Playoffs were held as scheduled, with IG facing LNG in the first match.

Regarding today's game, netizens gave four words of evaluation:

No suspense!

What can LNG use to beat IG?

There's no comparison between the two teams at all.

LNG's predecessor was Snake, whose own strength was not outstanding in the league. After being acquired, the only strong players left were the top laner Saint Spear and the jungler Sao Fen.

Look at IG again, All-Stars okay.

The five strong players from last year are all still here, with Duke as the substitute in top lane and rising star LeYan as the substitute in jungle (multiple substitutes are allowed in the summer season).

Not only netizens, but even IG itself feels that they have a great chance of winning.

So the coach did not let The shy play in the first game, but sent out substitute top laner Duke.

It is estimated that the coaching staff is also aware of the problems with The shy, and the opponent LNG's top laner Saint Spear is a veteran, so letting the more stable Duke play may be a better choice.

then……

They lose.

There was no problem with the top laner. In this game, the top laners of both teams had little presence, but the junglers were really crushing the opponent.

Saofen's Sejuani suppressed Ning Wang's Scorpion from beginning to end.

Perhaps Ning Wang is better at offensive jungle. In any case, in Shen Lang's opinion, his performance in this game was indeed a bit criminal.

The jungler's disadvantage in the early stage quickly radiated to the line, so that LNG's double C developed very well in the early stage, and Duke in the top lane was perfectly invisible, resulting in IG unable to find any comeback point in the mid-term, and eventually lost the first game in just 28 minutes.

As the results of the first game came out, netizens who thought today's game was a foregone conclusion were instantly stunned.

However, people make mistakes and horses stumble, so it is normal for accidents to occur on the track.

After all, IG's BP in this game was quite stupid. Not to mention giving Ning Wang a hero like Scorpion, giving Rookie Karma in the middle lane was really something that the audience didn't understand.

So the coach took the blame for the first game!

In the second game, IG chose to make substitutions, replacing Duke with The shy in the top lane and Ning Wang with LeYan in the jungle.

The coach also took a more offensive approach in BP, with jungle Karthus, mid laner Sylas, and top laner Kennen.

then……

Lost again!

The shy had a record of 1-7 in the top lane. AD Kennen was not only useless in team battles, but also had no effect in solo laning.

In comparison, it was Saint Spear's vampire that slowly developed and dealt exaggerated AOE damage in team battles.

Now not only Shen Lang, but also the audience can feel it.

IG seems to be in trouble.

In the third game, IG made another substitution, replacing jungler Ning Wang with Le Yan.

The coaching staff seemed to be trying to make combinations for the top and jungle positions, but after trying so many, they finally chose last year's lineup to face the desperate situation.

Last year, these five IG players created miracles in desperate situations many times and even fought various "unscientific team battles". Fans hope that they can create miracles today.

however……

not at all.

The third game was lost even faster and with less suspense than the first two games.

上单1-5、打野3-7，辅助更加夸张，直接0-11。

Amidst everyone's astonishment, IG lost to LNG with a record of 0-3, marking the end of their playoff journey and also their failure to qualify for this year's World Championship.

"It was indeed a foregone conclusion. It's a shame it was a foregone conclusion loss, not a foregone conclusion win."

"According to the IG coaching staff's plan, it should be LeYan and Duke's turn to play together next. Unfortunately, today's match is a Bo5, and the IG coaching staff hasn't even fully figured out their permutations."

"I thought IG was going to make a comeback and make a big splash, but I didn't expect them to be so slow in the first round."

……

In the live broadcast room, the barrage was full of taunts.
