I have to say that the all-China class has returned to the world competition, although their performance in the group competition is excellent. With MLXG's mad dog bodyguard, UZI got the advantage of the line, and then UZI took over the game. However, when they face FNC's crazier dog-catching style, RNG obviously has no better way to solve this problem. The only thing they can rely on is UZI's personal play. More importantly, entering the knockout stage, Tiger Head has a tendency: it no longer actively supports vagrancy, but pays more attention to personal development, which is also the reason why RNG failed to gain an advantage in the early stage. However, their opponent SKT is a team that is very good at catching the opponent's flaws, and there is almost no chance to turn over in SKT's economic advantage, which increases the difficulty of RNG competition. The early linkage between Tiger and MLXG, as well as vision control, are all urgent problems to be solved.
It seems that we haven't shown its dominance in the early stage. Even on the last day of the group stage, they appeared with a total victory, that is, they made more use of the players' personal strength and heroic qualities to win. However, in the face of C9, there are few rhythm points in the early stage, insufficient control of wild areas, and the occasional radical problems of players are exposed. This puts a lot of pressure on SSG, especially when SSG is a team that is good at predatory, developing in the middle and seeking after the group. We want to solve SSG, and we are under great pressure.
Finally, this is a common problem of LPL. Our players seem to be used to playing against the wind. They are almost perfect in coping with headwinds. On the contrary, they are careless in dealing with their advantages and do not pay attention to their opponents' counterattacks. RNG's amazing reversal of FNC and our first game against C9 showed great problems. This puts LPL in a dilemma: it may be turned over by LCK's team in the case of downwind, but LCK rarely turns over in the case of downwind. What should LPL do?
These are two tough battles, but fortunately, we have a blessing from the home fans. Come on LPL!
