The Glory of Kings 2022KPL Spring Race is about to rekindle the war after the end of the Spring Festival holiday. When everyone is grabbing red envelopes and celebrating the Spring Festival, we have talked about the championship team in the KPL league, so let's talk about the runner-up team in the KPL league.
Before the conversation, the king of 囧 first made his attitude clear, although e-sports is the champion and the winner take everything, but the runner-up also deserves respect. After all, compared to other teams that did not qualify for the finals, the runners-up just lost to the champions, they are also strong teams, worthy of respect, should not be ridiculed!
E-sports as a competitive sport, there will be champions and runners-up! The champion team has golden rain on the finals stage, and the scenery is infinite, while the runner-up team will retire in a place where no one notices! With Wuhan eStar beating Guangzhou TTG again with a score of 4-1 and lifting the Ice Phoenix Cup, Guangzhou TTG once again stopped as runner-up, which is also the third runner-up of Guangzhou TTG in the 2021 tournament year.
The TTG in Sanya for a year has become the talk of ridicule and ridicule by many fans! So, should the runner-up be ridiculed? Admittedly not, if the runner-up is going to be ridiculed, then the other teams that have not even set foot on the finals stage will be disbanded directly? The runner-up is the strongest team in a tournament after the champion, and can be said to be the uncrowned king! So, throughout the six-year history of the KPL, what should be the ranking of the number of runners-up? Let's take a closer look!
Top1 Chengdu AG Super Play
Chengdu AG Super Play will be the team with the largest number of runners in the Glory of Kings KPL League, and there is no one. In addition to the one-year period of relegation of the Chengdu AG Super Play, they played in the 2018 KPL Autumn Tournament, the 2019 KPL Spring Tournament, and the Chengdu AG Super Play Club for four and a half years, with a total record of one championship and five Asian championships. If you are going to inherit the BA black pineapple, then AG is six runners-up.
There are always netizens who mock Chengdu AG as the "second oldest", but throughout the history of the KPL League, a total of 21 large-scale competitions, Chengdu AG has reached the finals six times. This result, in fact, is really good, in the KPL, there are even teams that have not even won the top four. Chengdu AG Super Play will include the original boss, Dream Tears, Vv, Jace and others, as well as 2.0 Yinuo, 6.6, Aisi and so on, AG is one of the top teams of the year. However, they have cut through the championship many times, and they are almost there. In addition to the player problem, the bigger reason is that the training of the Chengdu AG Super Play Club has been lagging behind other teams! I hope that in the 2022 season, AG Super Play will be able to dream back to the 2019 autumn game.
Top2 Guangzhou TTG
Formerly known as the XQ team, Guangzhou TTG is one of the oldest teams in the history of the KPL league. The history of XQ can be traced back to the 2016 KPL Fall Tournament, which was the first KPL League. At that time, the main force was AT, and the "four seven connections" - seven kills and Knight, this old fan may know.
XQ lost to the QG Five Tigers at the end of the peak period in the fall of the 2017 KPL, taking the first runner-up in team history. Later, XQ was acquired by Guangzhou TTG, and its performance has been in the middle of the stream. The rise of Guangzhou TTG lies in the introduction of Qingqing and otherwise. In the 2021 season, in the four major competitions throughout the year, TTG reached the finals three times and won three runners-up. In this way, Guangzhou TTG can be counted as four runners in a broad sense and three runners in a narrow sense. Although TTG took three runners-up in 2021, it is undeniable that Guangzhou TTG is the strongest team in 2021 after Nanjing Hero Jiujing and Wuhan eStarPro in 2021. Especially the bloodline suppression of the Chongqing Wolves is always talked about by players!
Top3 Wuhan eStar
Speaking of Wuhan eStarPro, everyone will remember their two crowns in the 2021 season. But who remembers that eStar was also one of the teams with the most runners-up? Wuhan eStar is the oldest team in the history of the KPL league. They started with the first King of Glory Champions Cup in 2016, and Wuhan eStar began to compete in the LKPL.
It can be said that Wuhan eStarPro has never left this arena because of relegation, they are already the elders of the KPL. Throughout the history of the Wuhan eStar team, they have entered the finals eight times, won a total of five championships + Sanya, and equaled Chongqing QGhappy. Wuhan eStar honor is definitely hard enough, the runner-up is also second only to AG and TTG, how to see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? And what's even more interesting is that Wuhan eStar has been runner-up three times, all of which lost to Chongqing QGhappy!
Top4 Chongqing Wolves (QGhappy)
Chongqing Wolves' predecessor, Chongqing QGhappy, is second only to Wuhan eStar in terms of KPL qualifications, and Chongqing QGhappy is only missing the second half of 2016, they are also the elders of the KPL. Friends familiar with the KPL know that Chongqing QGhappy is the team with the most honors in the KPL league. They not only created the legend of the three crowns in 2017, but also created the most honorable QG Five Tigers in the history of the KPL League.
In addition to 2020, Chongqing QG must win a championship every year! Throughout the team history of Chongqing QGhappy, Chongqing QGhappy, like Wuhan eStarPro, has also reached the finals eight times, winning a total of six championships + two Asian records. However, since Cat left the team, Chongqing QGhappy has never won a league title. Their last league title was in the 2017 KPL Fall Tournament!
Therefore, in summary, the king believes that the runner-up is just losing to the champion, and they are also one of the strongest teams in which season. Have you ever seen any champion mock the runner-up? No, because to laugh at the runner-up is to laugh at yourself! As for those teams that don't even have runners-up, they are even less qualified to laugh at runners-up! You say, is that the truth?
