a great way to start off here as we welcome you back to the lpl in a very different way for the regional final starts the regional qualification tournament as well over the next three days my name is derek and ironically gentlemen we opened up with the phoenix flying the day after they got knocked down i'm joined by raz i'm joined by i will dominate once again who doesn't sleep and ras now on a different time zone completely a reminder to our audience tuning in that over the next three days we are deciding the third and fourth seed goal in the world dom this is a big difference here because remember third seed will go into the group stage with fpx and edg fourth seed down with play-in teams with the in a knockout stage where it's going to be a lot harder to get through yeah definitely but i mean i think that realistically speaking all of these teams should be looking at at that with the confidence to be able to go through i know for lgd it went a little bit uh more rough than expected probably but overall i mean i think that lpl teams have been looking a lot stronger this year um than last year especially like the top teams i think just really leveled up um so going into the the plans i think that all these teams should be considered strong favorites in whatever group they get yeah they really should so third and fourth seed over the next couple of days for the regional finals this is how the format works today we are starting off with day number one with rng versus we that's today's matchup if anyone's wondering the third seat at worlds will be decided by the winner where the loser will get another opportunity to qualify for the fourth seed with that last spot at the world championship as well and starting with rng we're gonna start on a negative tone because i know both of you guys have so much to say it's the truth it's the truth man because rng let's be honest they sucked they did not play well against lng and in their one and only series of playoffs they did not perform like msi champions yeah definitely and i think that the the weird thing about this series was that rng really lost at the things they were best at yeah rng is a team that overall um you know throughout msi throughout spring split and throughout summer once they got on that run it felt like once they get around an objective they're just gonna end up uh taking it every single time they always had the right decisions when to turn when people are going to be finishing the objective like how many people are needed for every single baron how much damage they have like this was just one of their biggest strengths and in this series lng ended up beating them at it multiple times and a couple baron throws came through and it was actually just really rough for rng to lose the series i think they came in as strong favorites but going to the positive side i want you guys to run me through what you know of rng what you think about this team because rng is still the msi champions as we bring this graphic up a reminder to our audience tuning in into what they were so good at into dom all the things you're talking about if we can start with you here with core players
