Although MSI 2024 is still a long way off, Keria and T1 have already begun researching their opponents to point out the most prominent players in the LPL.
LCK Spring 2024 again continuing an extremely familiar scenario, that is T1 and Geng are still the two teams ranked highest in the rankings. Needless to say, the playing style of these two teams is considered the most impressive after the Group Stage ended. Of course, there won't be too many surprises if both of these teams will once again face each other in the Finals of the World Cup. LCK Spring 2024 and walked together MSI 2024.
In addition, in other major regions such as LPL or LEC, bright names are also gradually being revealed that can set foot in this year's MSI tournament. Therefore, currently T1 or Gen.G are also starting to monitor and research their opponents as the best way to prepare for the upcoming tournament.
And in the most recent interview, T1 Support player – Keria shared about formidable opponents in the LPL region according to his own assessment. What is worth mentioning is that the names mentioned by Keria are not the top players in the LPL. Specifically, Keria shared that:
“Honestly, I've been watching LPL very often recently. Maybe because this region could become our opponent at the upcoming MSI. I see RNG's Tangyuan and FPX's Milkyway playing extremely well. “Extremely good. Even though their popularity is not high or they are considered stars, these people play extremely well and are quite intimidating to face.”
FPX is showing its strong revival at LPL Spring 2024 when it was able to rise to the top 4 of the rankings even though there were no famous names in its squad. The person who contributed the most to bringing this team forward can be mentioned as Milkyway as he continuously shined to literally carry the team. Even many major news sites at LPL also call Milkyway is the “savior” of this tournament thanks to his very good performance. Therefore Keria felt worried in advance Milkyway is a completely understandable thing.
But remember Tangyuan This male player is not really lucky RNG Currently located in the bottom half of the rankings. However, there have been many rumors that RNG is a very strong team in scrims and some people even joke that if Tangyuan plays at 80% strength, RNG can completely win the LPL.
There are many possibilities that T1 and RNG We had many practice sessions together and Keria highly appreciated her colleague on the other side of the battle line.
But in terms of reality, it is very unlikely that Milkyway or Tangyuan will be present at MSI this year. Not to mention JDG and BLG are still very strong names in LPL and will almost certainly have a ticket to MSI 2024 and the chance of Milkyway appearing is not high.
However, the players mentioned by Keria are still young and if they can maintain their form, their future will be extremely bright. Who knows, within the next 1 or 2 years, they will become the pillars to bring LPL to the top of glory once again.
