Many players now agree that the LPL is stronger than the LPK, because in recent years, the LPL has performed better than the LPK overall. However, this is based on the results, not the background of the division, LCK has at least 2 hole cards that the LPL can't catch up with for the time being, one is Hanbok, and the other is Han Aid.
Hanbok has nothing to say, basically the LPL and LCK first-class players are there Rank, from the recruitment information of various clubs, the gold content of Hanbok is also higher than that of national clothing. As for the Korean aid, it is even more not to say that the LPL has won a total of 6 world championships so far, in addition to the 2 MSI won by RNG, the other 3 global finals champions and 1 MSI champion have 2 Korean aides participating.
If this scope is expanded, the fact will be more exaggerated, since the rise of S5 Korean aid, LPL every year to participate in the global finals of the team, only RNG and TES and the former SN (now WBG) has not used the Rok-aid lineup. It can be seen that the influence of Han Yuan in the LPL division is indeed not ordinary.
However, with the LPL continuously playing excellent results, there are also many divisions that have targeted LPL players. For example, TSM, a North American giant that has always been rich, introduced several LPL "middle aides" during the transfer period last winter.
In fact, this is not the first time that the concept of "Chinese aid" has appeared, but this time it is indeed the most sensational, one is that the choice to introduce Chinese aid is the traditional e-sports giant TSM, and the other is that these LPL players are people who have gone out through the current LPL youth training system, so it is normal to receive much attention.
But what is more embarrassing is that TSM's current record is very bad, and in North America, which has always been despised, it can eat consecutive defeats, the main reason is that the current lineup is really a bit fishy. The funniest thing is that after several rounds of defeat, TSM chose to directly delegate the "middle aid" introduced by the FPX to the 2 team, which was almost as fast as the original 100T bang was lowered to the 2 team.
In general, there is still a very obvious gap between the current "Chinese aid" and the Korean aid, although the quality of the Korean aid is high and low, but both the quantity and the quality are much stronger than the "Chinese aid". I don't know how you guys think about this?
