After winning the TES De Cup, the League of Legends S11 season in the LPL division officially ended. On January 10, 2022, at 17:00, the S12 Spring Race in the LPL Division will officially start.
In the offseason, when the spring tournament has not yet started, the global esports media and players are in an "empty window period" with no games to watch, and most people are "idle and bored". Therefore, during this period, there were many reviews and evaluations of the S11 season. The Inven Global website in the LCK division next door launched what they thought was the best team of the S11 season.
As a result, this time in the selection of Korean media, LPL once again "failed miserably" in the selection after winning the two major championships of MSI and S race in the S8 season. What the hell is going on here? Let's take a look!
Korean media selected the best team of the year: RNG and EDG were selected for a total of three people, and the runner-up of the year, DK, was selected
But all the friends who belong to the League of Legends esports circle should remember that in the S11 season, our LPL division is after the S8 season, once again, by the RNG and EDG two teams, respectively, the MSI (Mid-Season Invitational) and S (Global Finals) two championships.
As it happens, both RNG and EDG beat DK to win the championship. According to common sense, the selection of the best team of S11 is theoretically won by the two major championship teams. If for the sake of balance and face, it is enough to give the runners-up at most one place. However, the Korean media's Inven Global website, this time, will be the two best middle road and the field, the two most important places, all rated to the annual runner-up DK players. Frankly speaking, the King of 囧 thinks that this is outrageous!
Best Order of the Year, RNG. Xiaohu。 The remaining nominees include DK's Khan, EDG's Landre, T1's Cana and GENG's Rascal. The reason why Xiaohu was selected is that in the League of Legends esports circle, few players can still play the international championship in the new position after switching positions. RNG's Xiaohu player, with his efforts from the transfer, coupled with the honor of MSI champion and LPL's best single of the year. RNG's Xiaohu narrowly defeated EDG's Flanders to win. The King of 囧 personally feels that the Holy Gun Brother is also very strong, but if you add the efforts of the little tiger from the transfer, the best single of the year to give the little tiger, there is no problem!
DK's Canyon. The winners of the Best Ofe selection are S Champion Tatsuno Jiejie, MSI Champion Tatsuno Wei, DK's Canyon, GENG's Clid and LNG's Tarzan. As a result, DK's Canyon won with 57.3% of the vote. If you say that the best single, you still need to choose one or two of the MSI and S championships, the selection of the best wild, it is a bit funny. Put two champions to play wild, but choose an annual runner-up to play wild, huh!
Middle Road of the Year. The contestants selected were S Champion Scout, T1 Faker, DK Showmaker, GENG's BDD and HLE's Chovy. In the end, DK.ShowMaker was voted Best of the Year on TheVen Global website, and Faker won the vote with 47.8% of the vote. If Faker's selection is an affirmation of his past achievements, what qualifications does Showmaker, the runner-up of the year, have to beat the champion?
ADC of the Year. The contestants who were selected for the ADC of the Year were EDG's Viper, Gumayusi, RNG's GALA, Ruler and Deokdam. For Viper, the Korean media said that they believe that Viper has completely recovered from the griffen era of the millennium two, he also won the world championship, and now he stays in the best team in the world. As a result, other nominees are hardly on par with Viper. Viper was named ADC of the Year and deservedly so.
Best Assist of the Year. The contestants who were selected for the Best Auxiliary of the Year were EDG. Meiko, Keria, RNG's Ming, DK's BeryL and CoreJJ. Frankly speaking, in terms of assisting this position alone, Meiko has become the only Grand S player in the history of League of Legends esports after winning the S championship. In S11 this season, his achievements are unmatched.
Player of the Year. Only DK's Showmaker was selected as the best player of the year. Frankly speaking, when the King of 囧 saw this, he felt that Inven Global's annual selection was just the LCK division's own self-congratulation. Let them ask Showmaker how many times he lost in Iceland? Who loses each time? The LPL sent two different teams in a row, both beating Showmaker to win the title. Can Inven Global name him Player of the Year? Yes, this is very Korean!
Finally, what the king of 囧 wants to say is that our LPL division, starting from the S8 season, has achieved three championships and one sub-achievement in four years. In fact, it has already replaced LCK as the deserved first division. Next door Toven Global this kind of self-congratulatory selection, let's just figure a music on the line, this is very Korean!
