With one more day to go, the 2022 League of Legends LPL Spring Tournament will officially kick off. After the winter transfer period, the LPL team has already played its initial competition in the Demacia Cup. Now that the main players and the full lineup of each team are ready to go, let's look forward to the fierce duel of the spring game.
However, before the start of the spring tournament, foreign media Dot Esports made a ranking of the League of Legends teams for the 2022 season, with a total of six LPL teams on the list, three LCK teams on the list, and the only LEC team.
Foreign media evaluation:
10th place: TES
TES in 2021 failed to meet expectations, and the favourites who broke into the S10 World Championship and dominated the LPL made only one change a year ago. Theoretically, they should strengthen the weakest link in the auxiliary role. Now that the lineup adjustment is complete, TES is looking to the future. Zoom and Tian have joined the starting lineup, which should undoubtedly enhance the overall strength of TES. The main core of the team is Knight and JKL, who are the most outstanding players in their respective positions. Today's TES has the strength to compete with the LPL and other top teams in the world again, just like they did in the 2021 German Cup.
Ninth place: BLG
No one could have imagined that BLG would be one of the ultimate winners in the offseason. Through the transfer period, they brought in one of the most recognizable players in League of Legends history. There's a lot of potential for the roadrunners, and Fofo is equally good at the 2021 season. The biggest star player on the team, who is also the star player of the LPL, is one of the most famous ADCs in the world: Uzi. Crisp is the 2019 championship auxiliary, and the strength of their composition is self-evident. Such a BRG will become a team that few teams can face with courage.
8th place: VIT
If teams like C9 and MAD, which are weaker than VIT this season, reached the quarterfinals of the World Series last season, then it is logical that VIT may also reach the quarterfinals this season. For a team with a history of glorious veterans, their goal is still to compete internationally. With this proven roster, VIT is on par with the world's strongest teams. Perka, Alphari and Carzzy led three different teams to the World Championship last year, and success follows wherever they go.
Seventh place: WBG
Remember the SN team that made it to the final stage at the 2020 World Championship? Probably only a few people still have the impression that the five most suitable people came together and beat the second and first seeds as the third seed. The only difference between SN Teams in 2020 and 2021 is the lack of WordArt. Now that Huanfeng's partner is back and Theshy has replaced Bin as the team's single, it's only right to set a better standard for WBG in 2022.
6th place: LNG
The 2021 season of LNG ended the world tour in the most dramatic way, losing to MAD in the group stage in a life-and-death duel. In that game, LNG led the first 45 minutes, but fell in the last minute. LNG has signed Lvmao and Doinb today, and if they missed the World Quarterfinals before, the addition of these two players should cement LNG's position on the 2022 pro league stage.
Fifth place: DK
Former World Champion team DK has added some new faces who could have a second World Championship this year. In its place are Deokdam and Kellin, both from the NS team and having beaten DK in 2021. Although I don't know how well this pair of newcomers and teams will run into each other? But their previous achievements have also brought hope to DK's fans to win the cup again.
4th place: RNG
RNG recovered from the mess of 2020 and the decadence of the post-Uzi era and won a second MSI title. Xiaohu won the MSI title in the middle unit in 2018, but this time he won the tournament as a single player above. Now that Bin has taken his place, Xiaohu is back in the middle. Cryin is a good player, but if there is a weakness in RNG, it is him. If Bin can get back to his 2020 form, RNG could continue the status of the previous season and usher in a promising new season.
3rd place: T1
T1 is not only LCK's most promising team, but also the most promising team in the world, and T1 has basically maintained the 2021 lineup in the new season. With the lineup of some of the most well-known teams in LCK in the new season, T1 is continuing to advance the lineup at last year's LCK and World Championships. While competition from LCK remains fierce, especially in the top flight, T1 has the ability to once again cement its legendary position.
Second place: Gen.G
Chovy has finally found his way to victory, and he now wears the Gen.G team black and gold uniform. The team has been the strongest contender at LCK, but he has no real X factor to push them ahead of second place. But now they have one of the best players in the world, and Chovy has led the team to victory many times in his career at HLE. But now he has better partners to help him share the responsibilities, with veteran fielder Peanut and veteran Ruler, Doran and Lehands all reliable team-mates to win the game.
1st place: EDG
If there is no problem, leave it alone. After winning the World Championship, EDG fans should be happy to see the team continue with its 2021 starting line-up. We've seen a lot of teams be too ambitious in their quest for success, and eventually they change for the sake of change. But EDG has the best squad in the game, their hard prowess proven by winning the cup, and it's time to prove that last year's success wasn't a fluke.
