With the accession of the new king of the LPL Division Spring Championship, the League of Legends Spring Championship has all ended. Except LPL is the new king, other divisions including LCK next door are old and strong teams. The monopoly of this old and powerful team has both good and bad sides. On the one hand, the old and strong teams have a deep foundation, which can ensure that the results in the competition area are not bad; On the other hand, if there is no new team in a division, then the vitality and innovation of the division are worrying.
In our LPL division, there is nothing to worry about in terms of innovation and new teams. The new team eStar double killed s champions IG and FPX and advanced to the playoffs; Top teams JDG and TES beat world champions S9 and S8 respectively and entered the final stage, while world champions S8 and S9 were both shot down and had to compete for the third place. As the first division, the cruelty and bloodiness of LPL can be seen.
After the cancellation of MSI in 2020, both players and teams are in a long-term period. Due to the particularity of 2020, this year's MSI mid-season invitational tournament was cancelled and the intercontinental tournament was suspended. This directly led to the long time interval between the Spring Olympic Games and the Summer Olympic Games. In this long window, most teams and players have either started the running-in within the team, started the vacation mode or started the dream mode. For example, Wang Ning of IG's S8 FMVP dreamed of S8 again on May 4th and set up a flag. S 10 wins the championship and gets married? . It seems that we still can't let the professional players be too idle, or who knows what moths they will make.
SKT's boss T 1 took the lead in holding a friendly match between LPL and LCK. As early as before the end of the LPL Spring Tournament, SKT1,who won nine consecutive championships in the LCK Division next door, had the idea of holding online friendly matches between top players of LPL and LCK to make up for the shortcomings of MSI and intercontinental races. Frankly speaking, although this proposal won the support of many foreign fans, LPL fans did not particularly agree with this move at first.
Then, with the end of the LPL Spring Championship, the fist took over the online friendly match. Foreign media reporters revealed that Fist has been working out the details of the online friendly match between LPL and LCK, and it is expected to announce the details to fans in mid-May.
For the official friendly match held by fist, LPL fans actually don't buy it. For this friendly match with no honor and no bonus? Online friendly match? How do foreign fans react? The embarrassed king doesn't know. However, most domestic team players and fans are actually more resistant and disgusted. In the words of S9 champion Shan Doinb? If you win, you won't be honored. If you lose, you will be sprayed and you don't want to participate. .
Indeed, this kind of online friendly match, without honor and bonus, can't get any benefits. If you lose, you have to be sprayed at home and abroad. This is not only thankless, but also a waste of energy to find scolding. Some fans also said that playing this online friendly match can make up for the regret that there is no MSI and intercontinental competition, and fans can watch the game. In fact, what the king wants to say is that with the coming of offseason, players should recharge their batteries, increase their running-in and tactical reserves, and prepare for summer games and the S 10 World Cup. Playing this kind of online friendly match has no practical significance except being sprayed. Teams with strong training competition have not achieved good results in the world series.
In fact, as far as the king himself is concerned, I'd rather have a good rest and run in with the S 10 World Cup for the summer games. This online friendly match is a complete waste of time, not even chicken ribs. MSI and Intercontinental Champion have won in the past, with at least two titles and honors: World Champion and Intercontinental Champion. Frankly speaking, this kind of online live friendly match is not as good as the training match in terms of appreciation and training intensity. After all, there is no honor if you win, and you will be sprayed if you lose, which makes it easier to expose your tactical routines.
Maybe some fans will say that playing a friendly match with LCK and them can increase the experience of the game, which is a bit too much. Online and offline are completely two concepts. Isn't the online competition a large Hanbok qualifying competition? There is absolutely no need to make the experience of the game infinitely close to zero. Therefore, the embarrassed king thinks that it is absolutely unnecessary for our four kings to play online invitational tournament. Do you think it is necessary? Let's have a chat.
