LPL will miss the MSI in Busan. Now LPL has three ways, one is to go to Busan to participate in MSI, the other is to give up the competition, and finally discuss with the fist to play MSI in online competition mode. LPL will miss this trip to Busan.
LPL will be absent from Busan MSI 1. Late last night, the Korean media officially announced the holding time of MSI, which will be held in Busan from May 10 to May 29, and insisted on allowing offline audiences to enter the stadium to watch the game. This MSI may be the most dangerous one for LPL, because the champion of LPL may not be able to participate in this MSI.
The schedule of LPL has not yet determined the final time, except that the last game before the final is at 14. According to the previous schedule, the final of LPL may be held on April 6, 438+07.
However, the spring finals can only be completed as planned if everything goes well. I don't know if LPL has other considerations, so the final time has not been announced.
The current situation is that if LPL can finish the game around 17 and the champion team prepares quickly, it can catch up with MSI. Because of the different policies at home and abroad, the isolation time after going to Korea should not be that long. In addition, MSI's schedule is to play the finalists first, and then play the race.
But the key point is that South Korea is really serious, and it also opens the offline audience, which is too risky for the LPL team.
Possibility of LPL online
For the current situation faced by LPL, the audience put forward a new scheme, that is, let the LPL team play online and other teams play offline. Simply put, LPL will not go to South Korea to play online games, because this MSI is held in South Korea, so the delay problem is relatively easy to solve.
Teams in other divisions compete offline, which was adopted in the previous PUBG competition.
But this time MSI is an open offline audience. It would be strange if it was online or offline. Personally, if LPL plays online and other teams play offline, it is estimated that it will cause great controversy and may be ridiculed by LCK audience. "Other teams dare to come. Why is the LPL team so noble and not coming to play? " .
Assuming that LPL finally beats LCK to win the championship, personally, I think the controversy will be even greater. The audience of LCK will think that you have no pressure and advantages online, while the pressure of LCK team is even greater offline. Other teams in the division have experienced all kinds of difficulties in coming to Korea, such as being isolated and adapting to the environment and jet lag, while LPL will only play at home, which is unfair.
Possibility analysis of LPL competition
To put it simply, there are three ways before LPL, one is to go to Busan to participate in MSI, the other is to abandon the game, and finally discuss with the fist to play MSI in online competition mode.
If someone goes to Busan to attend MSI, the whole team will be ruined. It is impossible to come back to play in a few days like LCK. If the competition is abandoned, the players, teams and divisions will not reconcile. Playing MSI in online mode will cause a lot of controversy.
Because MSI is related to the seed seats in S-match, LPL's failure to participate in the competition may affect its own seed seats (it is not clear yet, but it seems that LPL may get four seed seats if it does not participate in the competition).
Personally, among the three possibilities, LPL team is more likely to go to Busan to participate in MSI, because if you ask the players of the champion team if they want to participate, it is estimated that most of them want to go, charter flights when they go, and then do all the protective measures, go to the scene to play the game, and expect the organizers to protect every participating team and player.
In fact, personally, the biggest problem with this MSI is the organizer, who has to bite the bullet and open the offline audience to enter. If there is no audience at the scene like Iceland last year, the risk will be greatly reduced.
LPL will be absent. After the spring competitions of Busan MSI2 LPL and LCK, there are also the 2022Msi Mid-season Invitational Tournament and the LOL project of the Asian Games waiting for the audience. At present, the playoffs of LPL and LCK are heating up. On March 30th, the specific schedule of the new 202Msi mid-season invitational tournament was released, which became a hot topic for thousands of LOL players.
The official LOL event wrote on the social platform: This campaign is named! The 2022Msi mid-season invitational tournament landed in Busan, South Korea, and the competition time was from May 10 to May 29. The top teams from 1 1 LOL met in the group stage, followed by the competition and elimination stage. According to the schedule, the group match will be held from May 10 to May 15.
In the group competition, 1 1 teams are divided into three groups by lottery, including two groups of four teams and the other group of three teams (LCL is absent), and the promotion list (the top two in each group) is determined through two rounds of confrontation; Entering the competition, six teams ushered in a two-round winning and losing match. The top four directly advanced to the knockout stage, and the final seat was decided by BO5. The winner wins the trophy and the loser leaves.
LPL fans confide in their hearts
Looking through the comment area, many viewers were worried, and some hot comments wrote: What crown did you take? Busan, South Korea, was troubled by "COVID-19", and the offline competition mode was also enabled. No matter which LPL team is out, I'm worried. Please protect the team members and staff. Some viewers bluntly said: This is the "Busan trip", safety first, and I wish Msi success.
