Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the world game club.
The LPL competition is ongoing, and yesterday came the good news about the LPL club, that is, the EDG team that defeated the DK team to win the world championship at last year's S11 Global Finals was elected to the Sports Weekly and won the award of the best sports team of the year.
This is the first time that an esports team has received the official award, and it is also the honor that the EDG team deserves.
EDG was named Team of the Year
The official weibo of Sports Weekly announced the major awards of the 2021 annual sports world yesterday, of which the award of the best male athlete of the year was given to Su Bingtian SuShen, and the award of the best female athlete of the year was given to Gong Lijiao, who won the women's shot put championship in the Tokyo Olympic Games last year, and has participated in the Olympic Games many times.
In last year's Olympic Games, a large number of Chinese athletes won glory for the country and won many gold medals and medals in the world arena, and I believe that the audience was impressed by many of them.
The award of the best team of the year for the sports role model is directly given to the EDG team of the e-sports project, and the EDG team created a miracle in last year's global finals with no favor, and completed the reversal of 1-2 behind in the knockout rounds continuously, and won the world championship with the spirit of not breaking and standing.
After EDG won the championship last year, it set off a fierce e-sports boom in the country, there are countless young viewers are using a variety of ways to celebrate this championship, after winning the championship, EDG has also been reported and liked by CCTV official media many times, and now it has won the annual award with Su Bingtian, Gong Lijiao and other athletes, which is the biggest affirmation of EDG e-sports clubs.
The LPL was voted the tournament of the year
In addition to the EDG team winning the award of the best team of the year, the LPL's League of Legends Pro League was also elected as the best sports event of the year, which also surprised the audience, because not only the EDG team received official recognition, but also the League of Legends e-sports in the domestic event, also elected the best of the year.
It can be seen that the official emphasis on e-sports has reached an unprecedented level, and it is also using various ways to promote e-sports and let more people know about this sport.
One of the important reasons is that in the Upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou this year, e-sports has become a formal competition project for the first time, and the official also attaches great importance to this project, and the major official media are warming up, and they also hope that e-sports will be selected for the first time, and they will be able to successfully climb the podium and even win the gold medal.
As loyal spectators of the LPL, we definitely hope that this year's LPL can choose a strong national team lineup, strive to win glory for the country in the Asian Games, and help the sports delegation of the Chinese Asian Games win a valuable gold medal.
Challenges and opportunities for EDG teams
So much affirmation and attention from the official, the LPL and last year's world championship team EDG, also need to respond in a more diligent way, because now can be said to be a key period in the development of e-sports, after the Asian Games, if you can win this gold medal, I believe that the development of e-sports will be better.
Especially for EDG, the various awards will bring them a certain amount of pressure, and they need to turn the pressure into motivation to continue to play brilliant results in the professional arena.
I have to say that EDG's victory this time is really catching up with a good time, if EDG can continue to show its dominance on the field, and there are many people in the team to participate in the Asian Games and win the championship, EDG can not only sit in the position of the first team in the history of the LPL, but also get more in the future, which is very beneficial for the development and growth of the EDG club.
It is worth mentioning that EDG's Abu has been selected for the national team in advance, but also exchanged the selection of people with Lang Ping, then THE NATIONAL team of LOL may not choose the strongest player in each position, but choose a lineup that can quickly run in with the style of each other, there needs to be a core C position that can stabilize the military heart, and also needs 1-2 players who can make sacrifices for the team to adapt to different roles, in a word, I hope that EDG and LPL will continue to cheer, I believe that the future of e-sports will be better.
