According to Xiaohu, a team that consistently finishes second for a year can be stronger than a team that won only one title all year.
Recently, Xiaohu and Royal Never Give Up successfully defended the MSI 2022 championship. This is the 3rd MSI championship in Xiaohu’s career as well as in the history of the “Royal Legion”. However, Xiaohu may still not be really satisfied when he and the team, despite their best efforts, are still unlucky with the World Championship.
Xiaohu had a pretty successful Spring 2022 and MSI 2022 with RNG
But recently, according to Xiaohu, he has a rather unexpected opinion about the championship titles and the runner-up positions of the teams in the tournaments of the League of Legends village. “In my opinion, the runner-up position is also an honor. That’s also a bonus. Runner-up doesn’t matter, but if you’re consecutively in second place, it’s because you’re really strong. If you consistently finish second, people will remember you as a very strong competitor. I don’t think runner-up is such a bad thing. If a team that in a year they continuously 2 3 times reach the runner-up position, then they are really strong. Maybe they are even stronger than teams that only win once a year.”
However, Xiaohu also thinks that the runner-up many times, the prize money will also be very high. However, he ruled out the runner-up case at Worlds. As explained by Xiaohu, it’s because he himself has never had a chance to make it to the Finals of a Worlds, so he won’t comment. And Xiaohu also set a goal for himself that in the 2022 season, he can have the experience of competing in the Worlds Finals.
What Xiaohu lacks is entering a Worlds Finals
Indeed, just like Xiaohu said, if it comes to second place continuously, maybe the title is something that has not been achieved, but surely no one can underestimate a team that keeps winning the runner-up position every time they enter the tournament. . Because, in order to participate in the Finals of a League of Legends tournament, whether domestic or international, it means that the team also has convincing performances. Maybe they just lost to the strongest team in the tournament and won the throne.
