LPL group stage results
MinilitarinHighlights and split teams
FPX has solved the problems that have plagued them since the beginning of the year. Doinb has shown a high level of play and took the MVP award in 11 out of 26 maps won. The team feels each other and, along with Edward Gaming, are the main contenders for winning the split.
RNG, after winning in the spring and triumph at MSI, started the summer split unexpectedly badly. Many fans expected that they would be able to "wake up" and spend the second half much better, but a miracle did not happen: the GALA team lost much of their form and now they are losing even to average teams. Thanks to head-to-head victories over opponents from the first half of the standings, they managed to finish the group stage in 4th place, but this position does not look as reliable as in the spring.
After the 7th-8th place in the spring, Rare Atom finally managed to make the necessary leap and climb into the 3rd place. It is worth saying that even in the last split it was clear that the replacements made were of a long-lasting nature and it would be foolish to wait for stunning results in the spring. the team is progressing with every game and, we hope, will surprise with good results.
LNG Esports, who suddenly shot up, could not keep the pace set by them at the very beginning and, to the great regret of new fans, will start fighting in the playoffs already in the first round. Most of the problems for the roster were created by constant replacements in the middle of the season: the organization allowed young esportsmen to play, but at the same time did not receive victories in important matches. Most likely, LNGs will show themselves next year, but in any case, we will closely monitor the "dark horses" of the summer split.
knight earned the title of the best player in the group stage: 14 MVP awards from 23 maps. This guy clearly did not lose his form, even despite the poor play of his team in the spring and is constantly at the forefront, bringing Top Esports victories through his active actions.
Worst moments and split teams
Invictus Gaming failed to advance to the playoffs. Most likely, such a result will serve as a kind of signal for the organization that it is worth thinking about changing the composition. TheShy has had one of the worst splits in his entire career, and Rookie is no longer playing like in his best years.
LGD Gaming introduced Shad0w and xyie before the start of the group stage, but these two players were unable to help the team get into the decisive stage of the tournament. After the departure of Peanut, the organization has practically failed, and most likely the leadership of the organization is already in deep thought about the composition. We will follow the development of events.
Victory Five failed to win a single game. After finishing the split with 3-32 card stats, they became a living meme. Uniboy has gone from being a Worlds member to being the worst player in China.
Despite the excellent performance from Kanavi, JD Gaming also failed to make it to the decisive stage of the tournament. The situation in the team is similar to IG, and, most likely, we will have replacements that will not appeal to those who supported the old JDGs.
Play-off
The race for the title will be opened by LNG Esports and Suning on August 12, and will end with an increasingly large grand final on August 31, which will be held in one of the 5 arenas of the tournament. Judging by the high density of results in the top ten, bright and exciting games should be expected. You can find the predictions for all matches of the final stage on the "Predictions" tab.
