LCK Summer Games
The four major competition areas have all announced the schedules of the summer competitions, and Europe and the United States are still arranged according to the usual schedule because they have nothing to do with the Asian Games. However, due to the reform of the European format this year, they need to prepare for one more final, so the summer tournament is still a short schedule like the winter and spring. North America is the same, and although there have been recent rumors of strikes due to the disbandment of the second team, the summer regular season has been decided to run from June 1 to July 21.
The Chinese and Korean LPL and LCK are the regions affected by the Asian Games, and the LPL decided to accelerate the schedule, so the summer competition is more intensive than the spring competition. South Korea's LCK doesn't seem to have such plans, not only did they start the summer season more than a week later than the LPL, but they also played the schedule every Wednesday to Sunday, or they still had 2 days off a week, or only played 2 Bo3s a day.
End of August?
LCK's current summer season schedule ends on August 6, and based on the time consumption of the past playoffs, the playoffs will end around August 26 at the latest. The Asian Games League of Legends project is from late September to October, so there is a certain amount of training time, but not much. In addition, since the World Finals will be held in October, it will be very busy for the athletes participating in the Asian Games.
The LPL has accelerated the compression of this summer's tournament, and due to the large number of teams, at most at least 3 Bo3s are played at least 5 days a week, many teams cannot avoid playing back-to-back matches. The regular season can be completed on July 17 and the summer season can be completed in early August, which can give more time to train Asian Games teams than South Korea.
The Asian Games are too important
This year's Asian Games also listed a number of e-sports competitions as official events, which is of great significance compared to the exhibition competition of the previous Asian Games. And there are many highlights of this year's Asian Games, such as the possibility of a multiple JDG players on the final stage, because it has been confirmed that South Korea will recall Ruler and Kanavi, and Knight can almost be said to be a sure choice.
Compared with the dilemma of not even live broadcasting last time, this Asian Games LOL can be said to be official content with a head and a face. In addition, South Korea attaches great importance to the LOL event of the Asian Games, on the one hand, the Korean team has indeed been very dominant in the official world championship in the past 10 years, on the other hand, it lost to the Chinese team last time, and they do not want to repeat the mistakes of the past this time. The gold medal can be exempted from military service, which is the ultimate reward for Korean athletes.
Is the schedule fast or slow to have a version impact?
It is not yet known what version of the Asian Games will be used for the main competition, and the number of bugs in LOL in recent years has obviously been much more than in the past. In addition, the LPL accelerated summer game is mixed, if it ends in early August, but the Asian Games will use the end of August or September version, then there may be hidden dangers for the players of the Chinese team. Therefore, the selection of people in the country should still be based on the hero pool is relatively deep, and the contest is experienced. At least this way, when the version changes are large, you will not be at a loss.
In short, the schedule of the China-South Korea Summer Championships is completely different, the LPL is accelerating, the LCK is business as usual, and the Asian Games may be more important for the China-South Korea region than this year's global finals. Will LCK have problems because the preparation time is too short? The answer can only be left to the summer race.
