GenG and T1
The Petroleum Cup, also known as the Esports World Cup (EWC) hosted by Saudi Arabia, finally announced the League of Legends teams recently. Due to the influence of the comprehensive club and the subjective special invitational system, the two strongest teams in the LPL Spring Tournament did not get places. NIP was given the opportunity to participate due to its competitiveness in several events, and in the end, LGD and WBG confirmed the competition.
The South Korean side was relatively straightforward, with GenG and T1 qualifying. In order to participate in EWC, these two clubs also laid out a number of e-sports projects early, and they have influence in the field of League of Legends, so it is logical that they have become the representatives of Korean e-sports clubs. In addition, they are the champions and runners-up of the spring competition, and they will participate in MSI in May, and now they will attend the Oil Cup in July and August, which is also a high-intensity dominance of the Korean double in the first half of the season.
Civil War King GenG
Since the start of the 2022 Spring Split, GenG have reached the finals of the LCK 5 times in a row, and in addition to losing to T1 for the first time, they have also won 4 consecutive championships in the last 4 times. This is also the first team in the history of the Korean LCK to achieve four consecutive league championships. Even with the replacement of Uenosuke this season, the short run-in time did not make this team weaker, and it is still invincible in the civil war and continues to sit firmly on the LCK championship throne. It's no wonder that the last team T1 fans want to see is GenG, who haven't lost in almost 2 years against T1 in Bo5.
GenG Club
GenG currently has the League of Legends Division, Valorant Division, PUBG Division (including mobile games), NBA2K Division, EAFC Division, and MOBIL 1 RACING Division. Of course, the most famous, but also the strongest, and the biggest hope of winning the championship is definitely the League of Legends division. However, because in the Esports World Cup, clubs want to share the most prize money, and it is not possible to rely on only one project, so the club with the strongest comprehensive strength has more advantages. In fact, many e-sports games in the Oil Cup are weak projects in China and South Korea, and some have never even heard of it. FOR EXAMPLE, RENNSSPORT, THE PINNACLE OF VICTORY, AND SEVERAL FIGHTING GAMES, AMONG OTHERS.
However, League of Legends, as the world's most influential esports sport, this year is the first time that Riot has allowed a professional team to participate in the Oil Cup, so the outcome of the LOL game is obviously the most important thing in the eyes of many people. Since the strongest teams in the LPL did not participate, GenG and T1 are undoubtedly the favorites to win the championship.
Foreign War King T1
Compared to GenG's invincibility in the internal war, T1 has an unrivaled record in the global competition. At last year's World Finals, the four LPL teams were abused, and the knockout rounds were sent away by LNG, JDG and WBG won the championship. In the end, Bo5's 3-0 shaved head also reminded LPL viewers of the fear of being ruled by the big demon kings Faker and SKT in the early years.
However, T1 is average in terms of comprehensive strength in e-sports, to put it bluntly, only League of Legends is stronger, and the results of Dota 2 years ago are not very good, and the tile has not improved. The mobile game is also to participate in the oil cup impromptu cramming. T1 has the largest global influence only in the Faker and LOL divisions, especially Faker personally. If he retires or leaves T1, the value of the club will collapse overnight.
As a player who debuted in the 4-time World Finals in 11 years, Faker is indeed a representative of the Esports World Cup. T1's participation in this year's Oil Cup is sure to bring even more influence to the tournament than in the past.
Three teams: "I play GenGT1?
WBG, LGD and NIP participate in the Petroleum Cup, and the overall strength is obviously NIP is still good, and they are not clubs that are not good except for League of Legends. LGD and WBG also have many branches, the former used to have a little more influence in Dota2, in recent years LOL can only be regarded as a place to cultivate newcomers, the latter had Theshy last season to reach the S13 finals had a great impact, other times are so-so.
At present, these three teams are going to face off against GenG and T1, the big and small kings of the LCK, and it is obvious that the win rate is very low. LGD is the team that can't even make the playoffs, WBG is only sixth, and NIP is only fourth. The League of Legends event in the Oil Cup is participating for the first time this year, and the champion is likely to be one of GenG and T1. Although other events may be average, it should not be a problem to win League of Legends stably and share the prize pool in the top 16.
