People think that SKT will last forever, because there is a certain survivor bias, because you rarely hear SKT's voice in the most difficult moment (Li Ge is sitting by the water cooler watching those who play).
However, the cycle of SKT is very short, on the one hand, because the rhythm of LOL is very fast, and once the version is changed to a favorable state, it is easy to gain momentum (for example, RNG placed an order in the strange version of S8 incense burner, and blue-collar workers blocked all champions except S in one breath), on the other hand, the status and replacement of players are very fast, (bang, Ma Run, stupid chicken, peanuts, etc.). ).
So now the decline of IG actually confirms this cyclical environment. Last year, IG went from decline to outbreak, and then it went downhill all year this year, which is confirming this truth.
Coincidentally, this year happens to be the year when SKT rises, so you don't have to be too nervous. The weather is still spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the team is also ups and downs.
However, if IG can get out of the downturn and win the championship again, it also proves from the side that IG is a team that can last forever.
And the most important point: his cycle is shorter, which shows that his adjustment ability is extremely strong. (at least better than SKT)
He not only won the championship, but also proved that he has circulating capital and strength. This is much more meaningful than winning the championship.
Can shyness be the absolute core like Faker? Not yet. It is not because of language problems that communication is not smooth. Obviously, Shy's style of play is "independent". He is so obsessed with giving full play to his advantage on the line that Acalido takes comets to the line. In the position of Shangdan, the advantages and disadvantages of shyness are as obvious as a long queue and a single support path: more team resources are needed, BP is the priority, and field protection is the priority, otherwise it will easily become a collapse point.
SKT is a triple crown, but it is a bit excessive to say that it will last forever. It didn't reach S8 last year, and the ups and downs were too great. In my understanding, I think RNG will last forever, at least it will be stable in the world series, although it is accompanied by running.
Plotting the results over the years into stock curves, the upper limit of SKT is high, but it fluctuates greatly. Good times go up and down, and bad times last forever. The upper limit of RNG is not as good as SKT, but it is relatively stable and begins to decline after this year.
