preface
There will be such a team in each league division, the personal fame of the team players is almost nothing, but it will still appear in front of the public in a posture that amazes the audience, and these teams whose strength is beyond the expectations of the audience are also called the dark horse team of the league by the audience, such as our IG team in the LPL league, because it occupies the first position in the LPL standings for a long time, it is praised by many viewers as the largest dark horse team in the LPL.
And the LCK division also has such a team, they with excellent field play and dare to fight style of play, directly won the love of a large number of LCK audience, and this team is LSB, the reason why LSB team can be hotly discussed by a large number of LPL audiences, is also because they have defeated HLE, GEN, kt these well-known strong teams under the LCK high-intensity confrontation game, and successfully advanced to the LCK playoffs.
LCK's biggest dark horse was eliminated
At the beginning of the season, LSB team was known to many league audiences for successfully defeating the HLE team known as the "Galaxy Battleship" by the global audience, at first the audience thought that LSB team defeated HLE team, not LSB team strength but HLE team strength is too weak, in the audience's doubts, LSB team in the new season all the way to the second place in the LCK standings.
At this time, many viewers also realized that the LSB team did not win the game by luck, but the LSB team has real strength, although the LSB team got the top position in the points ranking at the beginning of the season, but the flaws of the LSB team are gradually exposed, for example, the LSB team's ability to adapt to the version is very poor, and LSB can still win when the version update is slow at the beginning of the season.
However, with the update of the version of the LCK division, LSB's shortcomings and hero pool defects were also completely exposed, falling directly from the second place in the league to the 6th position in the league, and in the playoff focus battle with the KT team, the LSB team lost to the KT team by a score of 1-3, and the biggest dark horse team in the LCK division also lost unfortunately.
The momentum of a talented player is not as strong as that of an experienced player
Although the LSB team unfortunately lost, but the LCK division of the discussion of the LSB team did not fall, and the reason why the LSB team received a lot of LCK audience attention is also very related to the LSB team's encounter in the new season, LSB team during the transfer, LSB management sold all four players except for the middle single, and then bought three newcomers and other teams do not want to single substitutes to play.
Many viewers speculated that the LSB team planned to rot in the new season, but what made many league viewers and commentators unexpectedly was that this "picking up rags" lineup actually hit the playoffs, especially the LSB team's lineup is mostly newcomers, so many viewers also sighed that the LSB team is five talented teenagers in the inspirational story.
Of course, there will always be setbacks in inspirational stories, the first setback of the LSB team is the opponent KT of the playoffs, according to official statistics, the five players of the KT team add up to the age, the big opponent LSB team is 11 years old, many viewers also sigh LSB team, in the face of enough game experience, no amount of player talent is useful. (KT Team can be said to be LCK Elderly Galaxy Battleship, upper single kiin, middle single BDD, playing wild cuzz, lower road aining, auxiliary lehends)
summary
After watching the performance of the LSB team in the new season, I also sighed that the youth training system of the LCK division is really outrageous, and every year there are strong players in the LCK division, such as Zeus, the upper single player Zeus in previous years, the auxiliary player Xiao K, and the GEN team that just appeared in the public eye this year to replace the AD player PEYZ of the ruler emperor. (I don't know if the LPL league youth training has a chance to surpass LCK in the future)
