Coming to Worlds 2022, the LCK is being judged by the gaming community to be below the base of the LPL.
It can be seen that in recent years, the World Finals has always been the playground of two famous regions competing in the LCK and LPL with superior strength compared to the rest of the teams in the international arena. . As for the number of times to be crowned in this prestigious tournament, Korean League of Legends is the leading region with 6 times in which the legendary T1 team has gone down in history when it has won 3 times ahead of other competitors. again.
That’s why every time big tournaments like Worlds or MSI, gamers want someone to replace the dominance of the LCK and that’s when the Chinese League of Legends has been on the rise since IG came on. crowned in 2018 so far, the LPL has been crowned every time they have reached the finals. The wind is now said to have changed with the fact that T1 is no longer at its peak while the investment in LoL of China is increasing, typically with the salary of the players increasing very high.
Invictus Gaming (IG) taking the throne at Worlds 2018 is the beginning of LPL dominance to date.
At this year’s Worlds 2022, the LPL brought the audience to witness their overwhelming strength in all 4 seeds with 4 too strong teams, JD Gaming (JDG) winning the 2022 LPL Summer, the rest Top Esports (TES). , EDward Gaming (EDG) and Royal Never Give Up (RNG) have all been well known in international tournaments. Meanwhile, the LCK brings a rather low face with T1 Esports, DK’s down form with DRX is not too prominent, perhaps only Gen.G with the super lineup crowned in the Summer of 2022 is enough to make it difficult. Okay.
4 representatives of the LPL are showing that the World Cup 2022 is unlikely to slip out of China.
To see the not-so-optimistic situation of the LCK this year, even their fans believe that it will be difficult for the home teams to have success this year compared to their direct competitors. . Once confident that in order to win Worlds, there must be a Korean player in the squad, but now it is no longer needed, showing that the LCK is falling a lot. Moreover, if North America and Europe are no longer as strong as before, almost no one can fit into these “two poles” anymore.
Gen.G is being supported by the country’s fans with all their faith to overthrow the dominance of the LPL this year.
It can be seen that when the LPL is getting stronger, it also stems from the strong investment of large corporations or even NPH Tencent in China, in addition, with a population of more than billions, the proportion of competitive gamers is also high. Higher in tournaments or in rankings, there are also many super servers. The format of competition in the knockout stage with many BO5 matches also helps the LPL to practice their ability to compete while the LCK has always remained the same for many years, making gamers gradually feel too boring.
LPL proves their madness in BO5 series.
