With the increasing popularity of e-sports projects, the market value of LPL team has also risen. Many companies have entered the emerging e-sports market, and there are not a few companies that spend a lot of money to buy an LPL team. It is in this context that WBG completed the process of renaming and maintained its previous first-team lineup. These five starters are still very competitive in LPL and are optimistic about WBG's performance in the new season.
First, the acquisition of the club Although the acquisition of the LPL team will pay a very high cost, it will also gain a lot of attention. E-sports fans are relatively young as a whole, which is very attractive to Internet companies. The acquisition of the team also has its naming rights, which is a very effective way of publicity and is also very common in the traditional sports industry.
Second, keep the original lineup. The players of the original team are all of golden age, and there is not much problem in their individual competitive state. Retaining them can make the fans loyal to the original team continue to support WBG, which is very helpful for the club to gain a foothold in LPL quickly. In the past, this team left a deep impression on people in the world championships. I hope that after renaming, it can continue to attack the highest ideal with a new look.
Third, continue to launch challenges. For the fans, this team has left many good memories. Although it failed to win the final championship in the world series, this team still maintains good competitiveness through the efforts of its players. Obviously, WBG will not just be satisfied with getting an LPL quota, and then they need to strengthen the shortage of the lineup.
The acquisition of the team means the end of an era, but the newly renamed WBG will set off a huge storm in LPL with a stronger posture.
