In the gaming world, strength and experience are often the key to measuring a player's level. Recently, China's first StarCraft 2 world champion Li Peinan talked about his experience with League of Legends (hereinafter referred to as LOL) in a live broadcast, and expressed his views without hesitation.
Li Peinan admitted frankly in the live broadcast that "League of Legends" has extremely high requirements for players' reaction speed. In a fast-changing battle scenario, every tiny misstep can mean the difference between victory and defeat in the game. This high demand for responsiveness is a bit of a struggle even for the battle-hardened StarCraft 2 masters.
What surprised Li Peinan even more was that during the game of "League of Legends", he often lost to players in the silver and even gold ranks. This is undoubtedly a big challenge for a world-class player who can sweep the crowd in the field of StarCraft 2. Li Peinan's live broadcast sparked a heated discussion among netizens about the difficulty of "League of Legends".
There has been a significant divergence of opinions among netizens on the difficulty of League of Legends. Some players felt that LOL did require a high level of action and strategy, while others found it moderately difficult, emphasizing more teamwork and tactical use.
The StarCraft World Champion further explained that although he already has a foundation in MOBA-like games, he personally thinks League of Legends is more difficult than Defense of the Ancients 2. This perception may have something to do with the design philosophy of both games and the skills required of players.
The StarCraft franchise has a high place in the esports world and is often seen as the top of the chain of gaming contempt. At such a height, the complexity of the game and the requirements for the player's skill are self-evident. And the road to the king of "StarCraft 2" constructed by a world champion and the switch to "League of Legends" has a lot of challenges.
Li Peinan's livestream not only revealed the difference in difficulty between different types of top games, but also reminded us that even the best players can be challenged in other gaming areas. This may be the charm of the world of esports, where every game and every duel is a new test of skill and intelligence.
