The biggest upset in the S11 group stage must be the FPX group stage. Before the start of the world championship, FPX was a very big favorite to win the championship, and after the grouping of A group, C9 and RGE were desperate, because with DK, FPX was basically unable to get out of the line in a group. As a result, no one expected that after winning C9 and RGE in the group stage, they were directly beaten for five consecutive defeats! Directly bid farewell to this World Championship.
Generally speaking, after the team that has been pinned high hopes on such a bad result in the world championship, the public pressure after returning to its own division is very large. So the restructuring of FPX is almost a foregone conclusion. Just after the S11 World Quarterfinals, the big guy broke the news that the FPX members were about to leave the team. Originally, Niu Bao returned to South Korea at the end of the group stage, and we know that FPX has not actually returned to China, and they are still in Iceland to serve as sparring for the rest of the LPL team. Niu Bao's departure from the team was almost a foregone conclusion.
Niu Bao's news is also the news that a well-known big man "Lao Tzu is crazy" broke the news. At the same time, this big guy also broke the news that the coin brother was about to leave the team. In his exposé, it contains the news of Niu Bao's departure from the team, as well as the FPX's right to allow Coin Brother to communicate freely with the team. At present, Niu Bao has received offers from many teams of LCK, and there is a high probability that he will return to DK. After all, Khan will go to military service after playing this year, so Niu Bao is the best choice for DK. As for Doinb, even if he is allowed to freely find the team, the probability will not be very large. You know, Doinb will be 26 next year, which is a very high age for an eSports player. As early as the S8 coin brother actually had the idea of retiring, played for an extra year under the encouragement of Sugar Xiaoyou, and just won the world championship. Although the retirement of the coin brother is said to be retired with shame, the live broadcast career of the good coin brother is also a wind and water.
In addition to Le these two have been exposed, Tian's departure from the team actually has traces to follow, this year's world championship performance is actually Tian, Tian's personal Weibo has actually been washed away by netizens, it is estimated that this time back can see Tian's retirement news. Although the FPX down road says that the contract has not expired, it is actually not accurate to stay. In any case, this S9 world championship lineup is about to fall apart completely after S11. S11 is actually the best song of FPX. Looking back at our two championship teams in the LPL division, IG fell apart in S10 and FPX fell apart in S11. In fact, it is very strange why LCK can produce a treble team like SKT, and the LPL has not yet seen a team with sustained dominance. This may be the gap between the LPL and the LCK.
