Being “favored” by Riot to the fullest, providing even advanced equipment for online fighting, will the LPL still “no hope” if it confronts the LCK?
In recent times, the pandemic COVID-19 still raging around the world. And of course, Esports tournaments, especially League of Legends Is no exception. Of these, the most affected is probably LCK and LPL. In the LCK Spring last year, although the teams were able to play offline, each team in turn detected infected cases. Even, T1 of the Faker was also infected right at the final match of the LCK Spring 2022.
T1 won the LCK Spring 2022 but almost the entire team was infected with COVID-19 right before the final match
In the LPL region, the situation is even more dire. With this area still implementing strict regulations on disease prevention, all teams must comply. And as soon as there were signs of returning cases, LPL Spring 2022 immediately switched to online competition. Not to mention, many matches had to be postponed so that the organizers could arrange the schedule to suit the epidemic prevention work. This is the reason why until now, the 2022 LPL Spring Split has not ended while the Spring LCK has completed more than half a month.
Meanwhile, the 2022 LPL Spring Split hasn’t finished yet
And recently, Riot has officially announced: LPL representatives will not be able to attend MSI 2022 in Busan in an offline form. In return, this area will be given the privilege of playing online. Teams will compete at the gaming house or at the LPL arena in Shanghai. Riot and LPL BTC will ensure all issues, from the preparation of machinery to human resources to support the team that represents LoL from China to compete at this MSI 2022. Network devices will be mobilized so that the LPL representative can play at ping 35 – equivalent to the ping level when playing offline.
It has been confirmed that the LPL will compete in the online form, Riot and BTC LPL will provide tools to support the maximum transmission problem.
But it can be said that the LPL will face many difficulties in its journey to defend the championship this time, whether the representative of LoL in China at MSI 2022 is Royal Never Give Up or Top Esports. First, the problem will still be the transmission. Although Riot has pledged to do its best to maintain a stable ping level, this will be something that neither Riot nor BTC LPL can be 100% sure. With the nature of the tournament extremely short (only going on for about 17 days), the results of each match will be extremely important and can affect the whole journey. Therefore, the teams certainly do not want to have any problems related to the network connection.
LPL representatives definitely don’t want “incident” during online competition
Next, in this season, T1 is a very powerful representative. Faker and his teammates are showing great form. And moreover, an advantage for T1 is that MSI 2022 can be played at “home ground”. It can be said that, although the tournament has not started yet, T1 already has two factors in hand: location and human draw.
T1 has a lot of favorable factors
With Riot ensuring that the transmission for the LPL region is not affected even when playing online, the chance of the Chinese League of Legends representative to win against T1 is still a big question mark. Because, not a single representative of the two names participating in the 2022 LPL Spring Finals has shown a truly impressive performance like T1. Both RNG and TES exhibit occasional swings. And in the coming MSI 2022, although there is no pressure from playing away, surely, the participating players will also have invisible burdens from retaining the championship for the LPL.
Neither TES nor RNG have really shown that they can beat Faker and his teammates
It can be said that Riot has “favored” the region with the most powerful League of Legends in the world. However, both RNG and TES, whichever of these two teams, will have to really show a better form than they have shown in recent times. T1 is not a team that can give the opponent a chance to come back. And even if it’s not T1, then just 1 mistake against any team, most likely any attempt to “bring MSI 2022 to the LPL” will only be an excuse to justify their failure. LoL of China.
