Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.

In the S14 World Finals last year, T1 defeated BLG 3-2 in the final stage to win the championship, which brought a huge blow to the LPL region, and BLG was only one step away from the historical achievement of winning the championship in the all-Chinese class.

Recently, former RNG coach Poppy's remarks in the live broadcast caused a lot of controversy.

Former RNG Coach: BLG deserves the title

Poppy, the coach who used to play in the RNG team and helped RNG win the MSI championship, and later moved to many teams, recently started a live broadcast and chatted with players Ahn and YSKM, in the process Poppy talked about last year's finals, and he gave his own opinion.

Poppy said that from his point of view, if BLG and T1 play a 100-round series, BLG may win 60 times, and T1 will win 40 times, but in last year's finals, it was T1 who won, from the point of view of the game content, BLG is worthy of winning the championship, the result does not represent anything, from a professional point of view, BLG is already the world champion.

Later, when discussing the game-related content, Ahn and YSKM said that Faker's Silas was favored by divine powers, and played such a wave of operations, and finally rewrote the direction of the finals.

This point of view caused a huge controversy as soon as it was released, and Poppy was also bombarded by netizens, for the simple reason that Poppy's words were more like making excuses for failure, and on the stage of e-sports, winning and losing is the same purpose, and losing the game is an excuse, which is also Faker's famous saying.

The champion in the industry, equivalent to the champion of the void

After this idea emerged, a new esports term emerged - industry champion, which is essentially equivalent to a void champion, which is the belief that a team or player has the ability to win the championship without winning the championship, but only lacks some luck to ultimately fail to win the championship.

There is also a saying that there is no crowned king in traditional sports competitions, and many teams or players who have not won the championship will get such a title because they can perform well in world competitions.

Personally, I don't think it's surprising that Poppy exists, but some of the arguments are problematic in that the point that "the results don't mean anything" is very inappropriate, and it's actually a bit disrespectful to the championship team.

When we look back at the game between BLG and T1, we can indeed find a lot of regrettable points, including Faker Silas's wave of operations, including BLG's Q flash mistake in the last game of Ruier, and the impulsive decision-making mistake after the team battle cut AD to death, all of which affected the final championship direction.

We agree that BLG is slightly inferior, but the result may be different from T1 again, Chovy also said in the interview that Faker Silas's game was lost by T1 from all angles, and I didn't expect Faker to play that kind of operation.

BLG needs to learn T1 and be indomitable

There are too many regrettable points that can be reviewed in last year's finals, BLG failed to win this championship when he was leading twice, and it is extremely rare or even unprecedented in the history of the global finals, just some details finally failed to win the championship, these details determine everything in the end, and if you don't win the championship, you don't win it.

Faker has also had such an experience, and personally thinks that the finals of the S12 season, in fact, T1 is similar to this year's BLG, according to Poppy, T1 that year may play a hundred games with DRX, and can win sixty games or more, but the final result is that DRX wins, and the year is over.

At the end of that year, Keria cried bitterly after the race, and many viewers felt that T1's championship window was completely closed, because the five-man group had already experienced too many defeats, but the next year T1 made a comeback and proved that when they lost the final in a very unfortunate way, they would fight back in the same way.

What BLG needs to learn is T1's indomitable spirit, the courage to get back up after many failures, we recognize BLG's strength, and we also think that they almost won the championship in the final, but it was almost a little bit, and I hope BLG can get back the long-lost championship with a stronger attitude.
