With the arrival of the Spring Festival holiday, the Glory of Kings 2022KPL Spring Tournament is also about to start. During this offseason, the major teams are busy grinding and adjusting for the upcoming new season that integrates with AOV.
Then at the moment when the new season has not yet started, when we look back at the 2021 season, it is not difficult to find that in fact, in the 2021 season, the KPL has been gradually changing, and more and more fresh faces and gameplay have appeared.
Ever since the KPL abolished relegation and adopted a fixed seat, it has been difficult for us to see strong fresh blood in the KPL. In the past 2021 season, the XYG team that just entered the KPL league really made everyone shine. Zhang Daxian's XYG, at the 2021 KPL Autumn Competition, directly jumped from Group B to Group S, and finally got a good result in the final four.
In the KPL event system, in addition to the champions and runners-up, the results of the top four are actually not bad. XYG's first KPL season surpassed the best results of its predecessors in the MTG League. This not only gives the K-A team a good expectation, but also makes many teams in the KPL league very embarrassed. Then in the KPL league's 15 fixed-seat teams, some teams have been in a mess all year round, and the team has not even won a final four so far. So what are these teams, let's take a look!
Xiamen VG
Xiamen VG team is a small transparent in the KPL alliance! However, don't look at Xiamen VG is now a little transparent, but they can be regarded as a very senior team in the KPL league. Since the first 2016 KPL Autumn Tournament, VG has played in the KPL under the name of VgHow; then relegated, and then to the 2019 KPL Spring Tournament, VG bought the Up team played in the qualifiers to return to the KPL League, in fact, the process is still quite difficult. Since VG returned to the KPL League in 2019, the best result in team history was in the spring playoffs of the 2020 KPL, VG lost to Beijing WB with a score of 0-4, stopping in the quarterfinals, which is also the best result in team history!
Since then, Xiamen VG has embarked on its own journey of rot: Since its return, Xiamen VG has invested almost nothing in the transfer market. The players who bought it were basically players on the bench of other teams, such as thirteen, Snow, 762, etc., and the only one that counted as the first one was the original Chongqing QGhappy single Mojo, or the moonlight. In addition, Xiamen VG also sold the team's brigade Yi Hitomi. Today's Xiamen VG can only hope that the youth training and players draw cards, and spend money to buy strong players, which is impossible!
Xi'an WE
Xi'an WE, the veteran giant in the e-sports industry, entered the KPL league through the qualifier channel after the KPL canceled the promotion and relegation, that is, in the autumn of 2018 KPL. Xi'an WE is now, it is also a seventh-term elder-level team, and its seniority is also old enough. In the history of Xi'an WE team, a total of two quarterfinals, in the 2019 KPL spring game, Xi'an WE lost to Chongqing QG with a score of 3-4, stopping in the quarterfinals; in the 2020 KPL spring game, Xi'an WE lost to Guangzhou TTG with a score of 2-4 and once again stopped in the quarterfinals. Since the second half of 2020, Xi'an WE has begun a rotten journey and has never gone into the playoffs again.
For Xi'an WE, starting from 2020, SKY first tried to engage in a wave of marketing with the "KPL Royal Three Killers" meme. But in fact, 2020 is the big trough of Wuhan eStarPro and Chongqing QGhappy, and the only real strong in 2020 is the Chengdu AG Super Play. And the so-called Royal Three Killers, is nothing more than a hero spoon, a three-plate axe, after a simple study at Wuhan eStarPro, against the 556 auxiliary hero pool, in 2020 the world championship or won the Xi'an WE. The main reason for the poor results of Xi'an WE is actually that the boss refuses to invest and likes "financial management". Except for this year's transfer period, this team has hardly bought any team players, basically relying on substitutes + drafts! Frankly, this is the same as we in the League of Legends LPL next door.
Suzhou KSG
The predecessor of Suzhou KSG, the YTG team, is known as KPL flat head brother (YTG = Yue Ta Gan). YTG's team history can be traced back to the 2017 KPL Spring Race, which entered the KPL together with the dark horse Chongqing QGhappy at that time. But the results of the two teams are one heaven and one underground.
YTG's history career is also relatively bumpy, playing two qualifiers, and both playing up. The peak in the history of the YTG team should be the top six, which is better than the previous two teams. In the 2018 KPL Autumn Tournament, Pingtou Brother broke out and defeated Xi'an WE and Shenzhen DYG (JC) consecutively, and finally lost to Beijing WB with a score of 1-4. At that time, the contestants were the core backbone of YTG, starting with small shells, summers, wine, tea and curtains. Now most of these players have faded out of our vision, in fact, have retired, how fierce the YTG of that year, once forced Chongqing QGhappy into the relegation tournament!
Subsequently, YTG was acquired by KSG and began a three-year career of chaos. Since the 2019 KPL Spring Games, Suzhou KSG has never entered the playoffs again. In the history of the Suzhou KSG team, the investment is also pitiful, and the players who buy are basically perennial substitutes or players at the end of their careers, and they are also long-term rotten in the coaching staff. This season, Suzhou KSG has slightly strengthened, hoping to enter the playoffs!
Finally, the King of 囧 wants to borrow the words of the player next door, "If you reach the top four, even if you succeed", dear Kings Canyon summoners, do you still think that XYG's top four is easy?
