As the LPL Spring Final Four begins, the two teams of TES and RNG, with two wonderful games that let two chase three, tell the world the wonderful things about the LPL game. Our small partners in the LPL division finally don't have to look at other divisions to "relieve the hunger".
And with the LPL Spring Finals anchored to start on April 23, the MSI schedule discussed by players before can also be put on the agenda. In the previous discussion, in view of the situation in South Korea, players' opinions on this MSI tended to be two: one is that for the health of the players, the summer games, the Asian Games and the S tournament, this MSI directly abandoned; the other is that the LPL uses the form of online competition to participate in MSI.
When we LPL players are still considering how MSI should participate, in the LEC division that has already won MSI places before, we have begun to repeat the same tune, discussing Whether the MSI champion should give an S place. Frankly, looking at the old tunes of LEC and G2 this time, it is actually quite interesting.
MSI champion, should I give an S spot?
After T1 and G2 got MSI spots, lector Caedrel, after watching the LPL's final four, its division commentator Caedrel posted that "the MSI champion should get a ticket to the world", and then the owner of the T1 team and the owner of the G2 team responded, in which T1 boss Joe said: "Agree, in order to let them (MSI champions) not be spoiled in the summer." If the MSI champions win the Summer League, they are the first seed in Group A and can choose any LEG, LCS, LPL and LCK division, with all non-champion teams entering Group A."
Carlos R, the owner of the G2 team, replied: "Totally agree, otherwise it will be embarrassing!" The spring champion should also get it (a ticket to the World Championship). ”
Frankly speaking, on the question of whether the MSI champion will increase the reward, the king of 囧 also wrote about it when he was in S11 and S10. The conclusion at the time was that
The results of the spring race, in a sense, are like chicken ribs! The MSI champion was cut directly
Previous MSI champions, apart from prize money and glory, are actually nothing. A very short answer is that if the spring champion of each major division can win the honor of a league championship, there are S points; and then go to the MSI Invitational Tournament, in addition to honors and bonuses, it will also be targeted and weakened by the fist company, and the focus of research with other strong teams. Therefore, in the LOL esports circle, there has always been such a saying, that is, a generation of gods, sometimes, MSI champions are better off resting, preparing for summer competitions, and fighting for the world.
Frankly speaking, the King of 囧 is not in favor of this MSI champion being able to give an S spot. Therefore, if you give the MSI champion an S qualification, it will actually do more harm than good. The reason is simple:
First, the S champion does not have the next S tournament or MSI tickets, how can the MSI champion get the S tournament ticket? And the MSI championship is actually a measure of a division's combat strength in the first half of the year. Looking at the understanding of MSI competitions, there is no MSI champion who has not entered the world: S5's EDG, entered; S6's SKT, entered; S7's SKT, entered; S8's RNG, entered; S9's G2, entered; S10 did not play, but MSC champion TES, entered; S11's RNG, entered. If there are MSI champions who do not enter the world championship in the future, it can only be said that the MSI champions have collapsed to the extreme in the summer race. Referring to the S9 World Champion FPX, they are the S9 S Race Champions and do not even qualify for the S10 World Championship. E-sports, achievement is king, can not wade on the glory of the past to enjoy the blessings!
Second, if the MSI champions are guaranteed, their summer races can be completely messed up! This is the same as the first point, why the S champion, there is no guarantee. If the S champion is guaranteed, they can completely spoil the whole year; and the MSI champion of the spring race, if guaranteed, they can completely guarantee the summer race. Don't talk about the sense of honor of summer matches, for S races, commercial teams, you can do anything!
Therefore, in summary, the king of 囧 personally believes that before the S champion guarantees the next S tournament, the MSI champion does not need to give an S tournament champion place. In order to increase the gold content of MSI champions and the participation of major teams, fists can completely increase the amount of rewards; or make eye skin; or feel that the eye skin is a little too small, and the whole team skin conflicts with S match, it is completely possible to make a team-themed skin; you can even consider making an FMVP skin.
Dear Canyon Summoners, do you think the MSI champion should give a guaranteed place for an S tournament? Let's talk!
