Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the world game club.
LPL playoff stage has been two BO5, FPX and LNG successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, at the same time LCK side also began to play the playoffs, compared to the LPL area, LCK's playoff teams are relatively small, the progress is relatively fast, the main point is to see if the dark horse team LSB can go further, and how the status of the big three is.
The CEO of the RECENT TOP GEN team also gave an interview, and during the interview, he shared some of his views on the gap between China and Korea with the audience.
Arnold bluntly said that LPL must be taken seriously
The GEN team has made great progress in this summer game, and was once the most favorite team in the LCK division to play the traditional operation, but this summer the GEN team focused on strengthening the attack, and the style also tended to win by actively fighting or more team battles.
In many previous interviews, GEN players have said that they are learning the style of play in the LPL, and they often communicate with LPL teams to play training matches and the like.
When asked in an interview about his views on the LPL, GEN CEO Arnold said that the LPL has been the first division for a long time and believes that in addition to the other divisions of the LPL, everyone still does not know enough about the LPL.
Arnold recognises the LPL's talent pool, the number of new people they have trained, the resources they have and the infrastructure they have reached an incredible level, and the LCK team, if smart enough, should know that LCK is currently in a weak position and needs to respect the LPL more and have a sufficient degree of attention.
In contrast, Arnold did not consider it feasible for the LCK division to expand to 12 teams, and LCK's clubs did not make enough money to support them in expanding their teams.
The LPL has four or five teams and has championship strength
Arnold is also a promoter of the double-loss format, and wants the LCK division to introduce a playoff double-loss system similar to the LPL, and feels that any move that can improve ratings is feasible, especially in the playoffs, and can also enhance the overall strength of the team, which is conducive to improving the team's world game.
When mentioning Penut, Arnold believes that Peanut has improved a lot, especially during the LPL, he has not only been a good player, but also a qualified leader, and his maturity now is amazing.
Regarding Ruler as a player, Arnold believes that Ruler is the hardest of all the professionals he has ever met, that he trains hard, and that he has been exercising aggressively lately, has a healthy diet, and that he has paid a lot to get good grades.
The host then asked questions about the division and asked Arnold which team was the strongest besides LCK, and Arnold replied: "I think 4-5 teams in the LPL have a chance to win the world finals, and the competitiveness of the LPL has reached a frightening point."
Arnold has repeatedly stressed that there is a gap between LCK and LPL and that it is necessary to study hard and then catch up as soon as possible.
Personal opinion on Arnold's interview
Personally, I think arnold's interview is indeed very real, and it also points out the gap between China and Korea, which may not be as exaggerated as he said, but for the LCK team, it is indeed necessary to recognize the fact that they are indeed inferior to the LPL, recognize the gap and then take more time to study the LPL.
Arnold said that there are 4-5 teams in the LPL division with world championship strength, personally I think it is still relatively accurate, normally stand in the perspective of LPL viewers, feel that the LPL has 4 top teams, if you play well, you have the strength of world champions.
But it cannot be ignored that the teams outside the top four of the LPL actually have a high ceiling, and have the opportunity to stand out in the playoffs by adjusting themselves, breaking through the top four and finally successfully entering the world series, in other words, the LPL has 4.5 top teams.
On the LCK side, it is generally believed that there are two teams with world championship strength, that is, GEN and T1, plus four LPL teams, a total of six teams have strong competitiveness in the world competition.
At the same time, I also hope that the LPL team will not pay attention to the study of other divisions because they are the first division, the LPL wants to learn some of the routine tactics of LCK, but it will become the style of the LPL in their own hands, and I hope that the LPL team can also communicate with LCK more, and know thyself and know the other in order to survive.
