preface
The LCK Spring Tournament also ended with Team Gen's 3-1 victory over Team T1, and the result of this competition also triggered a lot of discussion among LCK viewers, many of whom began to question whether the LCK double-elimination format was fair, after all, the head-to-head record between T1 and Gen in the playoffs was 4 to 4, but because Gen played better in the final, the T1 team eventually lost the LCK Spring Championship.
When the audience was discussing whether the LCK double-elimination format was fair, Xiao Lubu, the core AD player of the T1 team, also sent a video to respond to the T1 team's status after the T1 team lost the game, and questioned his own strength, asking the audience in the video whether he is now the strongest AD in the world, and if he is the strongest AD player, why is there a four-in-a-row runner-up in the competition?
Xiao Lubu cried: Am I still the strongest AD in the world?
After the T1 team lost to the GEN team, the T1 team now broke the T1 team history and achieved four finals, but in the end there was no embarrassing data of winning the championship (MSI, summer final, S match, spring final), and the core player of the T1 team, Xiao Lübu, may also be broken by this embarrassing record, after the T1 team lost the game, he sent a video in the middle of the night to complain about whether his current strength is the world's strongest AD?
Xiao Lübu said in the video that after experiencing three consecutive finals last year, he thought that in the new season, his mentality and strength would grow, and even thought that he was already the strongest AD player in LCK, but in the match with GEN, he fell again on the stage of the final, so he was also very confused, and he couldn't figure out whether he had grown in the past six months, because in the end he was still the runner-up.
Xiao Lübu in the video in addition to complaining about his strength, but also in the video looking forward to MSI matchup, Xiao Lübu believes that one of the biggest goals of participating in MSI is to beat the RNG team of the LPL league, but unfortunately the RNG team did not advance to MSI, Xiao Lübu believes that MSI without RNG team is always almost meaningful.
Is it fair for LCK to lose?
After watching Xiao Lubu's video, many viewers also lamented that the T1 team was delayed by LCK's double-elimination format, after all, the T1 regular season double-kill gen, the winner group of the playoffs also beat gen, why did the last bo5 not play well, and the T1 team directly did not have a championship? Many T1 fans believe that if the rules of previous LCK are followed, the spring champion of this LCK should be T1.
After the double-elimination format became more and more doubtful, the T1 team supervisor also responded to his own views on the double-elimination format in the post-match interview, the T1 team supervisor believes that in addition to the player operation between the strong teams, the BP tactics between the teams are also very important, during the first round of the T1 team and the GEN team, the BP of the T1 team has been exposed, so the T1 team was studied during the final, according to the previous T1 and GEN performance, the overall strength of T1 is not weaker than GEN.
summary
When the LPL league first implemented the double-elimination system, there were also many LPL viewers who complained that there were problems with the double-elimination system, but as the LPL team continued to win the championship during the world competition, many viewers also understood the true meaning of the double-elimination system, after all, the implementation of double-elimination in the league is to select the strongest team, and the T1 team unfortunately lost to GEN, although there are reasons for the ups and downs of the state, but more importantly, the strength of the players, there are indeed certain defects, such as the mentality of single Zeus on T1, Once in the final, Zeus was stable and sick.
