Chapter 433: Oscar Night (Middle)

One hour later.

「Two to zero! Congratulations VG! 」

「Congratulations VG, after EDG last year set a record with a perfect regular season record, our VG team has pushed the record to a new peak! 」

「It's too exaggerated, my mom! Not only did we win all major matches, we also won all minor matches! 」

「Only FNC has ever reached this level in history, and now our LPL also has its own legend! This is simply a miracle! 」

「But to be fair, WE today…… the problem is very serious. 」

「Yeah, it felt like it ended without much resistance. 」

At the moment WE's base exploded, the LPL livestream turned into a frenzy of VG fans:

【32-0!】

【VG awesome!】

【If miracles had a color, it would definitely be VG's black and white!】

【It's too amazing, as a VG fan for ten years, I never imagined VG would have such an awesome day, simply a miracle!】

【Do you understand the value of 32-0!】

【Next goal, challenge a perfect postseason!】

【Regardless of whether they can win the postseason, Jiao Shen is already worthy of being deified】

【There's no doubt, the spring championship absolutely belongs to VG; the only question is whether they can win it all, and if they can, Jiao Shen can truly be deified!】

【What? Isn't he already a god?】

【Bold! Uzi is the only god in LPL!】

After the match ended, the whole internet exploded, even European netizens commented:

【EDG: Here! (transferring the "Nationalelectric" title to VG)】

However, in the eyes of professionals, this match wasn't as exciting to watch.

In the current global regions where average match length exceeds 35 minutes, this Bo3, with the two games totaling just over fifty minutes, can truly be called a stomp.

Although mainstream predictions were that VG would win, and many thought VG would win 2-0, no one expected WE to play this poorly— the two games combined didn't even reach an hour!

This globally watched match actually seemed to have a bit of a strong start but weak finish.

Or to put it another way, WE dropped a huge turd, completely lacking the demeanor of a strong team, and their resistance was even less fierce than some mid-low tier teams.

It feels like VG came and kicked WE to death with a slap.

Given WE's true strength, they shouldn't have been like this; predictions at least suggested they shouldn't be weaker than RNG. Where exactly is the problem?

Then some subtle voices were raised.

Not long after the match ended, G2 team boss Ka Lao Si posted a tweet:

【It's clear, nobody wants to meet VG first in the postseason.

【Really, there's not a single one daring to fight?

【As LPL's fifth seed, I feel ashamed!】

After Ka Lao Si's tweet was just posted, Jiao Shen's former teammate, the Europe Region's new Fa Wang, S6 world championship FMVP, and mid lane player Perkz also posted:

【@Firrrrrre

【Don't get lost in false glory, come to MSI and fight with me!】

In the comment section, European netizens got excited; they love watching this love‑hate drama, and they're also happy to see their own Fa Wang still keeping in touch with Liang Yan.

Immediately after, G2's former champion top laner and current coach Island simultaneously retweeted Perkz's first tweet on his Twitter and Chinese Weibo:

【@G2_Lu Ka, after all, nobody wants an egg to hit a stone (laughing)】

Former teammates all caused a stir, with countless netizens coming to watch.

Some netizens still confused about "What's going on?", "Why is WE so weak?", "Has VG really become this strong?" were reminded and immediately understood.

Then some enthusiastic netizens explained the postseason grouping rules.

Under the Zhihu hot question 【How to view VG's perfect 32-0 run through LPL, setting the LPL's highest perfect record? How likely is VG to win the postseason perfectly?】 the top‑voted answer explained in great detail, enough for even cloud viewers to understand:

【First answer the question:

【1, How to view VG's perfect run through LPL? In four words: Jiao Shen awesome.

【2, How likely is VG to win the postseason perfectly? Industry insiders' prediction is around fifty percent; yesterday Faker's stream also said VG has a big chance to win perfectly. As for my personal opinion, it should be higher, over seventy percent, VG's raw strength is just that strong.

【But, that's right, I want to say however.

【However, today's match actually doesn't have much reference value.

【Why say that?

【And please listen as I explain in detail:

【According to LPL postseason rules, the top four teams in regular season group points qualify for postseason, and the postseason grouping rule is fixed, namely:

【In the same regular season group, the first and third places go to the same postseason half, while the second and fourth go to the half where the other group's first place is.

【For example, the current group rankings are:

【Group A: RNG, IG, IM, OMG, Snake, LGD

【Group B: VG, EDG, WE, QG, NewBee, GT

【If we directly play postseason according to current rankings, the postseason division situation is:

【Upper half: RNG, EDG, IM, QG

【Lower half: VG, IG, WE, OMG

【The teams in the two halves won't meet before the semifinals finish; the upper half is likely to send either RNG or EDG to the finals, while WE is very likely to meet VG in the semifinal round and get crushed again.

【However, we need to know that although today is the last day of the regular season, as of the end of VG's match, B group's ranking still has uncertainty.

【The first place is no uncertain; VG has undoubtedly locked B group first, which means VG has already secured a semifinal spot.

【The second place is already locked; after WE lost to QG in the previous match, it's already certain they cannot surpass EDG, so EDG has secured second place.】

【No need to talk about the last two places.】

【The ones with suspense are the third and fourth places.】

【Currently WE's points are third in Group B; because they lost to QG in the previous match, their total points are now the same as QG's fourth place; moreover, since WE beat QG in the first round group round-robin, the head-to-head record between the two teams is also tied!】

【Moreover, after WE finishes this match against VG, the entire regular season schedule will be completely over; while QG still has one more match against EDG coming up, depending on the result, WE could possibly have a tiebreaker match with QG to contend for fourth place!】

【Why fight for fourth? As said before, the G2 boss also directly named the answer: because nobody wants to face VG first!】

【Why did WE play so poorly today?】

【The answer goes without saying!】

【It's even possible that the previous match against QG was also...】

【So why say today's match has no reference value? Only those who understand will understand; those who don't, don't ask me—it's not that I don't want to say, it's that I cannot say.】
