The results of the 2023 LPL region are not ideal, except for MSI, whether it is the Asian Games or the S competition as a national team, they have not been able to achieve a final victory. A few days ago, Zhu Kai, the coach of the LOL project of the Asian Games, revealed a lot of first-person content in an interview;
And more than a month after the end of the Worlds, T1's champion skin selection has recently made waves again. The lineup that had already been determined was adjusted due to the personal opinions of the players...... Let's take a look at today's LOL circle hot spots.
Zhu Kai talked about the selection of candidates for the Asian Games
For the results of this year's Asian Games, many players have regrets. Before the game, everyone thought that this time it was at least "two to fight for one", but in the end it only ended in the bronze medal. League of Legends is the only e-sports event to win bronze in this Asian Games, and many netizens blamed the problem on the selection at the beginning after the game.
As the head coach of the Asian Games, Zhu Kai responded to various questions during the Asian Games for the first time in two months:
(1) In May this year, the state of the players was really different from the game version and the Asian Games
(2) After the change of personnel (363 and JKL), I think we are slightly at a disadvantage
(3) When the lineup was won in the first game against South Korea, the players thought that the lineup would be better than the Korean team, but in the middle and late stages, the players made mistakes, resulting in a wave
(4)首发名单很早就交了,选边当天才抛硬币,首发交了Jiejie,很希望是蓝边,结果却是紫边,为Jiejie和Xun都准备了阵容
Zhu Kai mentioned a lot of content, but in terms of the player list, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Jiejie and Meiko. When the roster was first submitted, he felt that this was the best combination between the players, but the addition of later substitutions (Xun, ELK) changed the original chemistry.
At present, the roster of each LPL team has been officially announced. Zhu Kai, as the only Grand Slam coach in the LPL, did not find his next home. The outcome of this year's EDG and Asian Games teams seems to have had a great impact on them. I don't know if I can see Zhu Kai return to coach in the S14 season.
The German Cup has not been opened, and a team has been eliminated
December 25 is the official opening day of the 2023 Demacia Cup. Players who haven't had a game to watch in days finally have a new event to follow. However, the Demacia Cup, which was originally scheduled to be 24 teams, is currently only 23 teams left. Team WSQ, a team from the mass event, has been officially disqualified from the League of Legends event.
According to the official announcement: After verification by the League of Legends Professional Event Discipline Management Team, WSQ team substitute Wang Siqi (ID: ascii) recently planned to organize improper behavior that affected the fairness of the game in the upcoming Demacia Cup, and his behavior violated Article 10.1.1 of the "2023 League of Legends Demacia Cup Match Rules" "Unfair Game" related rules.
Due to the lack of personnel on the WSQ team, WSQ withdrew from this Demacia Cup. In the subsequent announced grouping, there is no such team. Compared with the LPL regular season, events such as the NEST Cup and the Demacia Cup are often more affected by external factors.
The composition of the Demacia Cup is more complex than that of traditional competitions, with many anchor teams, youth teams, and mass tournament teams like WSQ in addition to LPL teams. All the official can do is to be vigilant to avoid incidents that affect the fairness of the game as much as possible. In the next two weeks, I hope you can see a wonderful German Cup match.
T1 Auxiliary changed the Champion skin selection
This year's S Championship Skins were determined very early, and the lineup of champion skins for Jace, Blind Monk, Ahri, Jinx, and Renata was confirmed almost after the match. Because these heroes are too representative for T1 players, there are basically no unexpected choices.
However, players are still a little too early to be happy, because Faker and Keria recently decided that the final choice will be Clockwork and Bard in the final proposal for the selection of the champion skin. Faker's reason is that "Ahri will be given a lot of skins in the future", and Keari goes back and forth between Bud and Renata three times. (What I want most is actually Lux)
In this incident, players around the world who like to play Ahri and Renata are pulled and numb. Compared to the lack of hope in the first place, losing in a two-choice duel is obviously more difficult to accept. Faker explains:
"I've decided to choose a clockwork skin, and I won't do Ahri skin. Worlds skins are determined to be clockwork. Next year, Riot will probably design a skin for Ahri. There are a lot of people who are looking forward to the Ahri skin, and even if you don't make the Ahri Champion skin, it doesn't mean that there will be no new skins. ”
Although Faker has always used skins, that doesn't stop him from collecting them. If nothing else, (Fist forcibly dismissed it), Clockwork will be the fourth champion skin after Faker, Ruize, and Sindra. Of course, in terms of sales and popularity, Clockwork can't compare with Ahri.
So what do you have to say about it?
