Chapter 499 Summer Season Halfway Situation
After defeating DYN in the first game, KT defeated DWG with a score of 2:0 two days later.
It can be seen that DWG is beginning to try the jungle core play, but everyone is just beginning to explore the summer season. At present, it seems that their play is still relatively average and has not posed any threat to KT.
At the end of the first week of the game, KT won two consecutive games and topped the standings with a record of 4 small-game net points.
In addition to KT, the only two teams with two consecutive wins are DRX and AFS, but the scores of the two teams are 4:1 and 4:2, and they can only rank second and third in the standings.
In the second week of the game, KT first swept the sandbox neatly, giving the opponent three consecutive losses in the summer season, and then defeated AFS with a score of 2:0, ending the African team's three-game winning streak.
At this time, only DRX still maintained a record of four big wins and barely kept up with KT's pace.
DWG, AFS, and T1 all ranked second to fifth in the standings with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.
In the third week, KT was still unstoppable. First, it ended DRX's four-game winning streak with 2:0, and then defeated the original APK team, which was renamed SP in the summer season, with the same score.
Since the start of the summer season, KT has played 2:0 in all six games, and no team has even won a small game from KT.
Everyone is exclaiming that KT is still strong, and they are all curious about which team can break KT's winning streak.
Even if they can't beat KT, it's good to get a small score.
However, KT in the fourth week is still flawless, defeating Hanhua and GEN·G with a score of 2:0.
So far, KT has won eight consecutive games since the start of the summer season, with a small score of 16-0, which is unique in the world.
Except for T1, all other LCK teams have been defeated by KT.
The situation of the standings is different from the beginning of the game.
The second-placed team was beyond many people's expectations. It was DWG, which was the last in the Eastern Conference in the Spring Split.
After losing to KT in the first week, DWG had a strong winning streak and currently holds the second place in the league with a record of 7 wins and 1 loss.
And DWG's small-game score is 14-2.
In other words, except for the 0:2 loss to KT, DWG swept all the other victories.
And DWG's average bloodiness is higher than KT, and the average game duration is shorter than KT, and the win is very clean and neat.
The media began to exclaim that DWG in the summer has awakened.
In everyone's eyes, the one who can end KT's winning streak is DWG in the second round.
Some people even think that DWG's strength is no longer inferior to KT.
After all, it has been a month since KT defeated DWG, and the version has changed significantly. It is hard to say who will win when the two sides fight again.
And KT has a point that many people criticize: they don't play jungle cores.
Although LCK does not have a large number of pure jungle core heroes like some regions, and rhythm heroes such as Lee Sin can continue to appear, in terms of playing style, everyone pays more attention to the jungle position both in BP and in the game.
At least it is not like before, when the jungler is behind, it is behind, and it is done with being a tool.
Now everyone is consciously ensuring the development of the jungler, and even many times the players on the line have to take the initiative to give up their own lines to help the jungler.
But this is not the norm for KT. Although the players on the line of KT will try their best to ensure the line rights so that the jungler can live comfortably, they rarely give up the line to protect the jungler's development.
Bono often uses heroes such as Prince and Sejuani, which are not fast at jungle farming. Even if he helps, he can't help Bono to widen the gap with the opponent's jungler. It is better to focus on the development of the players on the line.
So even if KT often has a big advantage, Bono is not ahead of the opponent's jungler in this point.
The reason why KT's average game time is longer than DWG is because Bono's level is behind and the big dragon is robbed several times, which makes the opponent drag it down.
Thanks to Bono's good mentality, as KT's jungler, he doesn't have much pressure to carry. In this version, the enemy's fancy dragon grabbing would be a numbness for ordinary junglers.
No wonder KT's tactical system is considered by many people to be a reverse version.
Since the change of jungle experience, many game-related practitioners have gradually reached a consensus: this is a jungle core version.
DWG suddenly awakened in the summer because they grasped the essence of the jungle core version. After losing to KT in the first week, their status has been rising. It can be said that they are the best team in LCK to adapt to the jungle core tactics.
The players in the middle and upper lanes are full of suppression, the auxiliary actively roams and cooperates, and the cooperation of the three lanes is to make Canyon in the jungle comfortable.
One adapts to the version, the other reverses the version. No wonder many people are optimistic about DWG overthrowing KT.
After all, KT let Bono go, and there were many times when they were behind the opponent's jungler level, but Canyon could often lead the opponent by three or four levels in the mid-term.
When these two players face off, DWG fans are already imagining the scene of a level 13 Nidalee chasing a level 9 Jarvan IV in the jungle.
In addition, there are also a large number of KT die-hard supporters who do not think that DWG can beat KT at the moment.
Although it seems that the play style does not fit the version, the way KT wins the game does not violate the rules of the version.
KT won the game with strong individual ability and rigorous team execution. This way of playing can be adapted to any version strictly speaking.
It's just that their tactical focus is not on the jungler position.
When Niu Bao had to use Ornn as a tool, Lin Cheng was still the absolute core of KT. KT went to the top lane to carry the game most of the time.
Many teams have junglers as cores, and KT gave Bono the whole Prince and Pig Girl every time.
But they still won the game.
Supporters of both sides quarreled fiercely on the Internet, and the void duel had been thousands of times. In the end, it would take until the second round for the two teams to have a conclusion.
Even the direct confrontation between the two teams can't explain too many problems. Everything depends on the subsequent playoffs or even the world game.
As the saying goes: running fast does not necessarily win, and not falling is success.
In addition to DWG, the third place in the standings is DRX with 6 wins and 2 losses.
The two teams in LCK that are best adapted to the jungle core version are DWG and DRX, one ranked second and the other ranked third. It is no wonder that so many people think that KT will fall sooner or later if it does not change its playing style.
Later, GEN·G and T1 held the last two seats in the upper half with a record of 5 wins and 3 losses.
Before the start of the summer season, Li Ge boasted that he would compete for the championship, but T1 is not optimistic at present.
T1, who just lost to the newly promoted DYN team, will face KT soon. This year's news agency war is no longer decided by Faker. Even T1 fans are not optimistic that T1 can snatch the victory from KT.
The lower half of the standings is a group of brothers in distress.
AFS, which originally won three consecutive games at the beginning of the game, once again carried forward the glorious tradition of starting high and ending low. After losing to KT, it lost all the way and fell to the middle and lower half of the standings, which made the fans of the African team almost sit on the roller coaster.
This trend has been the case for three consecutive seasons. The VIP seat of the African team's roller coaster cannot be more stable.
After all, the reason why AFS suddenly became bad is that the state of the brother-in-law has declined.
Originally, Fei Ge could only play as a half-C position in the middle lane. If the bottom lane is not good, AFS will seem very empty.
It is worth mentioning that Xiye, who transferred to Lao Gandie in the summer, is now very strong again. He and Xiaohuasheng have lifted Lao Gandie to the top half of the LPL.
The law of conservation of WE's double C is still very strong in the summer.
It seems that the fans of the African team can only hope that Lao Gandie will perform the drama of "Xi La Xiao Wo" in China, so that the brother-in-law can have a chance to make a comeback.
