Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
After the arrival of the S14 season, the pace of the major leagues is getting closer and closer, and the spring tournament in the LPL region is held relatively late, and the games in other regions, especially the LEC region, have already started.
In addition to the LPL league, I believe everyone is most concerned about the LCK league, and there has been bad news recently.
The LPL commentary revealed that the LCK is completely gone
LCK once again regained the position of the world's No. 1 region at last year's S13 World Championship, and it is also a well-deserved No. 1 region in history, because the LCK region is strong enough and there are many star players, so LCK also has quite high ratings overseas, and China has a large number of LCK fans, especially Faker's large number of fans.
However, in the offseason, the GEN team in the LCK region came to a wave of death operations, and in the process of cooperating with a gaming chair brand to do activities, they made inappropriate remarks, causing an uproar.
The follow-up public relations behavior of GEN was also a big surprise, first to the Chinese audience to a wave of sincere apologies, but I didn't expect to withdraw the apology a day later and say that it was neutral, and then said that the previous apology statement was made by the GEN operation on the Chinese side, not the official meaning of GEN.
After a series of operations, GEN offended almost everyone, and many LPL viewers suggested canceling the LCK's live broadcast directly, but I didn't expect that there was really relevant news recently, LPL's official commentary 957 bluntly said that the LCK's broadcast was completely gone.
Faker was also affected, and the LCK losses were very large
At present, 957's remarks cannot be confirmed to be 100% true, but based on past experience, as the official commentary of LPL, it seems that there is no need to give false revelations on this matter, after all, 957 is a public figure in LPL, unlike many whistleblowers who did not show up behind the scenes.
The current situation is that the whole LCK was affected by a mistake made by one of GEN's clubs, including everyone's favorite Faker and T1 teams.
Without the live broadcast for Chinese audiences, T1's losses are also very large, and recently T1 has opened home ticket sales, and the price is also very expensive, although this club is very rich, but it can be seen that in the case of a lot of expenses in recent years, T1 also needs to complete the recovery through some specific ways.
In the absence of the official LCK broadcast, it is more difficult for domestic viewers to see the LCK broadcast, and foreign viewers can watch it on other live broadcast platforms.
LPL will definitely get higher ratings because of this, and at the same time, in terms of commentary, there are also a few happy and a few worried, LPL's commentary is naturally the highest status, but the LCK commentary is estimated to be collectively unemployed.
LCK explains that you are unemployed and face a choice of survival
In fact, the number of new commentators that have emerged in recent years in China LOL is very large, as can be seen from the LPL's commentary cup, the number of commentators is so large that a large number of teams can be formed to play cup matches, but it can be said that this industry was still relatively popular before, and there are also many good commentators who are optimistic that the audience can enter the LPL arena in the future.
Generally speaking, if a commentator wants to succeed, he starts from a small stage and goes up step by step, first commenting on some LDL games, and then accumulating some popularity by participating in the commentary cup, and then commenting on LCK games after improving his ability, of course, there are also commentators on LEC or LCS.
When the commentary skills become stronger, LPL can choose from them when they recruit or lack people.
But now the LCK live broadcast is gone, and it's not sure if the commentary can be two-way, and at the same time, there seems to be no LDL side, according to the news, LDL is going to cancel the live broadcast of the regular season and wait for the playoffs to broadcast again, so as to prevent more match-fixing from opening.
In short, it can be seen from this thing,LOL's cake is getting smaller and smaller now,Personally, I think that League of Legends has developed to this point in time of the S14 season,All LOL practitioners may be affected,Big clubs,Team players,To commentary,Small to some LOL niche industries,None of them are spared。
