Doinb said that the 2022 LPL Summer will be played online, but there are still many issues to worry about, such as ping and camera.
Only a few days left, LPL Summer 2022 will officially kick off. Although the LPL Summer will always be more important and competitive than the Spring when the teams are almost in shape and everyone wants to be one of the four names representing the LPL at Worlds 2022, the current situation is quite complicated when China still implements strict epidemic prevention regulations.
As is known, since the end of MSI 2022, all teams in the LPL must implement the policy of “closed door”. Even Royal Never Give Up – LPL’s representative at MSI 2022 can’t move to Busan to attend the tournament, but can only play online. And at the moment, the regulations have not been loosened any more and a prospect of the LPL Summer being played online is very clear.
As Doinb – The Mid lane of LNG Esports recently spoke on his personal page. He said: “There are only a few days left to play, but it will almost certainly have to be online. But I see a lot more to prepare. The referee may not have one, but there must be a camera. There’s also the ping problem. Not every place in China has the same ping. All in all, there’s still a lot of junk to deal with. I heard that these days they (BTC LPL) all have to work until late at night, 12pm or more.”
Perhaps everyone knows, at the last MSI 2022, the ping and camera problem was one of the factors that caused RNG to be constantly attacked by the League of Legends community. In particular, the “ping 35” incident was repeatedly mentioned as the cause of the failure of many teams, and the unstable ping caused RNG to replay the first leg of the MSI 2022 group stage. This is also the case. causing Riot to receive a lot of hate from LPL fans, and MSI 2022 is considered extremely bad.
It is not clear in the near future, how the 2022 LPL Summer will manage. But surely, there will be many problems when this tournament is forced to be held online because of the epidemic problem.
