The League of Legends LPL Division S12 Spring Tournament will begin on January 10. So on the eve of the opening, let us throw away those "Lone Swimmers" and don't talk about "Don't Fear God".
Let's talk about some interesting topics, this article the king of 囧 wants to talk to you is "all say that our LPL is a fighting division, so our fighting style, when did it start?" ”
Anecdotal rumors: LPL is a fighting division, LCK is an operating division, and LCK is a Renaissance division
The new pit of friends, must have heard or seen, so to describe a passage of the three major divisions : "Our LPL is a fighting division, the LCK next door is the operating division, and the LEC is the Renaissance division of the whole flower." So have you ever thought that our LPL is the definition of the fighting area, when did it start, and which team took the lead in playing?
Frankly, this answer, new and old players will give different answers. Players who have been in the pit for less than 4 years will definitely tell you that our LPL is the definition of a fighting zone, starting from the S8 season. In the first half of S8, the RNG team battle was picturesque, and in the second half of the year, I used perfect team battle (fighting) to subdue all teams around the world. Therefore, since the S8 season, our LPL has been called a "fight zone".
Frankly, less than four years into the pit players said this, in a sense, right! IG's team, starting with S7, is a complete fighting team. They win the game by far exceeding the opponent's personal skills, starting from the line to playing the group, all the way to the crushing of individual ability. S8's IG, when disadvantaged, will use the group to redeem the disadvantage; when the balance of power, will use the group to gain an advantage; when the advantage, will use the group to end the game.
And IG is the strongest team to end the game after taking the big dragon. Most of the teams, after winning the Dragon, will choose to break the ground and continue to run the game. But at that time, IG, after taking the big dragon, was really for a wave to end the game.
And the reason why you will remember from the S8 season, Gein we started from S8, four years of three crowns. With the championship, our LPL is the first division, we can use any adjectives and nouns to call our own division, no one said we were wrong. But before S8, we didn't have a single championship, and any division we could claim would be ridiculed. After all, esports, the dish is the original sin, and the winner takes everything. In a division without a champion, it is bottomless to claim to be anything.
However, the LPL division has actually had a tradition of fighting since the S3 season, but it has been operated by the Korean team until death. Remember the Samsung of the S7? In the first set of the final, 24 minutes 0 heads, alone. In the past, the reason why LPL liked to fight, in fact, the king of 囧 believed that there was a problem with our operational ideas and tactical thinking. To put it bluntly, I don't understand how to play the operation in league of legends, and if it doesn't operate, it can only rely on fighting. And in fact, the LCK next door, although it has been operating a lot, but there are not many fights. Such as SKT, SSW, KT, ROX and DWG, these are all teams with strong fighting.
It's just that when the LPL can't hit the opposite side, the operation can't be delayed; and when the LCK can't hit the opposite side, it can also test the operation to drag.
This situation was not changed until the three stars and ten sons came to China and opened the era of Korean aid. Frankly speaking, the arrival of the era of Korean aid was actually a good thing for the LPL at that time. They not only brought strong personal strength, but also brought the advanced operational ideas and tactical routines of LCK at that time. LPL is also from S5 onwards, gradually opened its own gameplay and branding.
For example, IG pure fighting, FPX fighting operation, EDG fighting line operation, RNG partial group battle and operation, OMG partial K-pop snowball, etc., have a variety of styles. The LPL is won over the years, and the winning team must fight without being weak. Therefore, the LPL style we see is to keep winning.
And for the LPL's tactics of liking to fight, the King of 囧 has also explained before, that is, "breaking the rules" or "breaking the picture". LCK next door has studied the tactics of operation incomparably well, and most of the LCK players like to train themselves into operation machines that are as accurate as AI. Therefore, LPL's hope of beating LCK in the operating rules formulated by LCK is quite slim. Therefore, only by jumping out of the rules of operation and dragging LCK into the fighting rules that we are good at can we use our own good style to defeat LCK. The LPL's performance of three crowns in four years has proved this.
Therefore, in summary, what the king of 囧 wants to say is that LPL has always been famous for fighting since S3. But only after S8 did we dare to pat ourselves on the chest and say that the style of our division is to fight! You see what I mean, right?
