Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the world game club.
Today is the last day of 2021, so there will be a variety of inventory of e-sports, foreign media are also announced today that they selected the LOL Annual Best Team, the selection range is all the regions in the world, I thought that this annual best team EDG will account for the majority, did not expect that EDG's Nakano was not selected.
In addition to the official selection given by foreign media, there is also a community voting link, in which EDG's votes are also low.
LOL Team of the Year selection
In the selection of the best team of the year given by foreign media Inven Global, the player who won the best single was Xiao Hu, and the nominees were Also Khan, Flandre, Canna and Rascal, from the nomination situation, the Holy Gun Brother seems to be only in third place, not as good as Khan players.
Interestingly, in the community voting, the first place winner was Khan, and Khan's popularity abroad is still good.
The best game of the year was given to the Canyon players of the DK team, and the nominees were also EDG's Jiejie, RNG's WEI, GEN's Clid and LNG's Tarzan, which is also quite controversial, perhaps the foreign media did not take the showdown between Jiejie and Canyon very seriously, but paid more attention to the personal status of the players throughout the year.
DK Spring/Summer was an LCK champion and also won two world runners-up (MSI runner-up and S-tournament runner-up), which means that the DK team reached the final in almost all major competitions, and Canyon remained in good shape throughout the year.
But in the eyes of our LPL audience, the Canyon players were sanctioned by Wei of RNG and Jiejie of EDG, respectively, and the same situation applies to the middle road, because showmaker in the middle position pushed Scout to be selected as the best single.
EDG was only successfully selected for the next road
ShowMaker and Canyon were in a similar situation and were in very good shape throughout the year, with excellent individual performances in key competitions, but by the end of the World Series, the other nominees were Scout, Faker, Chovy and BDD.
In the community vote, Faker became the first with nearly half of the votes, and Li Ge's popularity is indeed very high.
Also in the eyes of LPL viewers, Xu Xiu was sanctioned by Cryin and Scout in the MSI and S finals, respectively, of which the BO5 sanctioned by Cryin was particularly classic, only Xu Xiu Xu Xiu was not allowed to xu Xiuxiu, and the miracle of hiding 7 Qs in the last game of the Scout finals was also amazing.
In terms of the next road, Viper and Meiko of the EDG team were elected, and from the overall team of the year, there is indeed a little bit of pork meaning, the three teams are divided into pork, DK and EDG have two people selected, and RNG has one person selected. It is worth mentioning that the best way down in the community vote is Gumayusi and Keria, and Keria's vote score is exaggerated by 78.5%.
It can be seen that foreign countries, especially in Europe and the United States, are indeed more advocating the kind of players who play gorgeously and have left classic famous scenes, but the results are not so important.
Team of the Year in the eyes of the LPL
In fact, this kind of selection of the best lineup of the year, because the selection criteria are not transparent and not public, so no matter how to choose there will be controversy, from the perspective of the LPL audience to select this LOL best lineup of the year, may not give DK any place, either EDG cover, or EDG + RNG mix and match, just like this year's awards ceremony.
In general, the players of the EDG team do not have to be selected for any of the best player awards or selections given by any media, because this is not a worthy honor compared to being able to take the Summoner Trophy and choose the champion skin.
The key is whether EDG can continue to show its dominance in next year's spring games after winning this year's championship, because for professional players, they can enjoy the treatment of world champions before winning the world championship and officially assembling for the start of the next season, but after the league officially starts, the players need to start competing for more honors again.
I hope that the players of the EDG team can maintain a good attitude and continue to provide wonderful competition content for the audience next year.
