Before this year's world final, the championship prediction showed a one-sided situation, and foreign media and overseas audiences were almost optimistic that DK could win the championship, and even gave a prediction rate of eight or two. However, under the premise that the outside world is generally not optimistic, EDG withstood the pressure and finally won the global finals championship in five sets.
IG's victory in the S8 World Championship made up for the embarrassing record of no S crown in the LPL division. But starting with S8, the LPL division won the Triple Crown and one runner-up. In addition, msc and MSI champions have also been included in our LPL division. But even though the LPL division has won many championship trophies in recent years, the Korean media believes that there is still a lot of controversy in the middle.
Recently, the Korean media published an article entitled "The Strongest and Most Controversial League of Legends Overlord - LPL Division", which mentioned many controversial topics:
At the beginning of the article, the Korean media said: Unfortunately, it is China, not South Korea, that deserves the "strongest e-sports" this year. In various international competitions held this year, Chinese teams have won the championship one after another. Especially in the League of Legends event, the LPL division's RNG and EDG won the MSI and S championships respectively, establishing their status as the "first division". However, behind the strength of the LPL division, there are also many catastrophic things, showing the "climate of the competition area".
First of all, the Korean media mentioned the "fake match" incident, FPX's Tian was ordered to appear again, but in the spring and summer matches, he still helped the team advance to the final.
After the fake race, RNG won the MSI competition, but the controversy continued. Due to RNG, Fist changed the schedule, causing DWG to be unable to guarantee rest, which also looked like "an act of a major division".
By the time of the World Championships, the controversy continued. Some media broke the news on Twitter that Fist Games once again favored the Chinese media at the S Match. According to the foreign media "Korizon eSports", Jacob Wolf and Ashley Kang reporters have issued statements accusing Fist of partiality during the interview phase. Because fist company told the media that due to the epidemic, live media reports will not be allowed this year, but third-party Chinese media will be allowed to conduct live interviews.
Finally, the Korean media also mentioned the topic of anti-addiction for minors, because the announcement of the ban on players under the age of 18 appeared, resulting in the TES second team, which had a great hope of winning the championship, was eliminated overnight because it was too late to urgently change players, and the RA second team maintained its strength and won the championship. The LPL's OMG single player Creme was also removed from the list, and many promising future LDL rookies were also removed from the list.
(The above is a Korean media report)
It is worth mentioning that the LCK in the last two years has lost its former dominance. In addition to last year's world champion, LCK lost all the other international competitions, so the Korean media also began to learn to divert attention. Korean media mentioned that there is a great controversy in the LPL division, but MSC, MSI and S competitions have all relied on the hard power of the LPL team to successfully win the championship. Finally, I would like to give them a sentence from Faker: When you lose, saying anything is like an excuse.
