GenG vs. HLE

On June 13 at 2 p.m., the first ticket battle of the LCK playoffs, that is, the matchup between the first and second parts of the regular season, will be staged as scheduled. GenG achieved an 18-0 winning record in the second stage of this year to win the first place, and Chovy broke a number of personal records, including the regular season MVP. Veteran shooter Ruler has been back for half a year and is getting better, and support player Duro has finally come out of the tense rookie period and become a reliable member of the team after two stages of training. With the Kaminakano half still strong, GenG is indeed a tough opponent in the LCK at the moment.

HLE after Zeus joined

Don't look at GenG is very strong now, but since last summer, South Korea's big brother who has really sat in the LCK championship position is HLE. After acquiring Zeus in last year's transfer window, HLE has completely completed a leap forward, and the young and strong top laner has given the team an extra core. HLE almost won the championship in the Pioneer Tournament, but after returning to the league, they encountered a mature GenG and lost both rounds. However, it is not easy for GenG to win in Bo3, and HLE is still the biggest threat to GenG.

Strong LCK

Regardless of who wins first between GenG and HLE to advance to MSI, there is a high probability that the other opponent will be able to get a second spot through Bo5 in the next round. With these two teams playing normally, it seems that they are currently the favorites to win the Korean LCK and even the global competition. The team is comprehensive, there are few weaknesses, the hero pool is deep, the tactical system is rich, the coach is not confused, and the players are in good condition. The LPL team can only use the TES of 2-9 in the Pioneer as a reference, and the overall comparison is weak. GenG and HLE are Bo5, and there are naturally more people who are optimistic about GenG, but it can only be said that HLE has a high ceiling to beat GenG.

BLG vs. IG

On the same day as the Korean first and second place battle, BLG and IG will meet in the lower bracket finals. This match will also determine an MSI spot, and the winning team will participate in the mid-season with AL. We really didn't expect IG, a team that had not performed well before, to be able to enter the top three, and it can only be said that the upper limit of the players is high, and they do belong to the category that can have dreams. This also made the fans' plans change and began to imagine advancing to MSI. Of course, the last hurdle in front of them can also be said to be the most difficult level, that is, BLG.

Old and new?

BLG represents the elite players of the LPL year, who are considered to be the first domestic top laner/mid laner/ADC/auxiliary in the active service, except for the jungler who left the team after the failure to hit the finals last year, and is now replaced by Beichuan, and the other best players in each position at least in the eyes of fans are the best players in each position in the LPL who have no alternative options.

And IG represents undoubtedly the strongest veteran star players in the LPL in the past 7 years, the first champion top laner in operation, the all-round champion jungler, the mid laner who can do his best in any situation, the unbeatable lower lane of the signature hero, and the Grand Slam support. The oldest are all runners who have been debuting for more than 11 years, and there is no problem with being called senior kayakers at the beginning of the season.

It's hard to tell if the experience of the veteran is more useful or the players at the top of their game are stronger. The only reference is that in the previous group stage, BLG won both rounds of Bo3. And the duel between Bin and Theshy, the last Bo5 was traced back to the semi-finals of S13, which has long been outdated.

Contradictory choices?

The respective fans naturally have inclinations, but for a lot of neutral viewers, this game is really contradictory. I not only want to see how these veterans can perform in MSI, but also hope that BLG, who is younger and has more opportunities to create good results, will go to MSI.

IG at least seems to us to have overfulfilled the season tasks, and BLG has only gradually improved after changing the jungler, but the stagnant pool in the game against AL has become less expected. If IG goes to MSI, at least in terms of traffic, this is the result that LPL is happy to see. And no matter what the end is, this year's LPL does go back to the feeling of ten years ago, where all teams play the World Championship in a lot of times in an overly aggressive and brainless style, and South Korea's suffocating operations and inexplicable pull-and-pull team operations are all back. This year, we may be more eager for help than we have been in the past few years.

In short, these two matchups on June 13 are worth paying attention to, the LCK will start at 2 p.m. earlier, and the LPL will be at 5 p.m., so you can't miss it!
