After the end of the LPL spring finals, a short off-season was ushered in, and the two teams BLG and TES could also take advantage of this time to rest and recuperate, and devote themselves to the preparation of Chengdu MSI in a better state. However, after entering the offseason, there are still many topics that have aroused heated discussions among netizens in the e-sports circle during this time, such as the transfer rumors of RNG list Breathe, which has not yet started in the spring transfer period, and today's foreign media broke the news that Riot plans to add a third international event in 2025, which has become the most concerned topic for LPL viewers in the offseason.
RNG大名单移除Breathe
The day after the end of the spring final, LPL officially announced that the spring transfer period would officially open on the morning of April 21. However, in fact, the transfer period has been filled with gunsmoke earlier, as early as before the end of the spring game, the well-known LPL agent Han Yi posted a blog to break the news that WBG signed Breathe and Tarzan. With such a transfer rumor sparking heated discussions, the parties to the incident, Breathe, and the CEO of the WBG club, Shi Qianlu, have not come forward to refute it, which shows that the matter of Brother Breathe and Tarzan joining WBG has basically been confirmed.
It is worth mentioning that some netizens recently discovered that Breathe has been removed from the RNG list on the LPL official website, which also means that it is not surprising that Brother Breathe has joined WBG and has been closed. For RNG fans, this is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, the team's own spring season results are not good, if the team's outstanding performance in the top laner breath brother is lost, the prospect of summer RNG is even more worrying. However, for WBG, the addition of Brother Breath and Tarzan to the team will undoubtedly greatly enhance the team's immediate combat power, making them the biggest spoilers in the LPL in the summer season.
Riot plans to host its third international event
In the League of Legends tournament system, the highest-level events are undoubtedly the two international tournaments of S and MSI, and there are also regional leagues such as LPL, LCK and LEC. For the audience, the most anticipated competitions every year are naturally international competitions such as the S competition and MSI, because they can see more collisions with teams from other regions. In the case of the decline in the popularity of LPL this year, many viewers also proposed to add more games like the previous continental competitions, so that the strong teams in the LPL and LCK regions have more opportunities to play each other.
According to foreign media reports, Riot intends to hold a third international event in 2025 in addition to the MSI and World Finals, and this new event may be scheduled between the winter and spring tournaments, for which LCS and other regions may adjust the format and schedule. Many viewers also expect that this new international event will be similar to the previous continental competition, so that the top teams of LPL and LCK can have more opportunities to play against each other, which is what the audience is looking forward to.
