After the World Championship ended, the T1 team returned to their base and started a livestream. Xiao Lübu was asked by fans which champion he would choose for the champion skin. The uncle said he was considering between Gwen and Miss Fortune; he didn’t want to pick a champion that already had a champion skin (which would affect sales). Actually, Xiao Lübu wanted to pick Jhin the most, but he didn’t use him even once during this year’s Worlds, so Jhin is not in the skin candidate pool.

However, last year’s finals FMVP, Riot gave two skins. If he could pick a champion he hadn’t played, he would probably choose Jhin. As for the other players, the jungle and mid have not revealed their intentions yet (Old Lee will vote later). Doran and K are both choosing one out of three. Doran’s votes are for Lillia, Gragas, and Camille; Keria’s choices are Neeko, Lulu, and Seraphine. The final result is expected to be confirmed next week or by the end of the month.

Xiao Lübu reviews the match and calls out Saint Gunner.

During this year’s Worlds, T1’s quarterfinals and finals were the most intense, both BO5s went the full distance. After returning to the base, Xiao Lübu reviewed the matches. In the fifth game against AL, during the decisive team fight, the uncle called out Saint Gunner for a vision ward mistake. T1 seized the opportunity, won that team fight, and the uncle felt the match was over. When talking about Top Esports, the uncle couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Saint Gunner, unsure of T1’s positioning, used E in the brush to clear minions and place a true sight ward, which was a bit careless. But his decision to flank was actually reasonable. T1 had Dragon Soul, Ashe, and Miss Fortune, all with strong slow effects and kiting ability. If they had engaged head-on, AL’s chances would have been even lower. Before the fight started, Aatrox probably had no health left. It just showed how poor the vision was, allowing T1 to catch them and create an opportunity.

Doggo harshly criticizes LPL coaches.

This year’s provincial team CFO played really well, much better than BLG’s all-Chinese roster. Especially Doggo, after returning to the LCK league, he seemed to have evolved. He gave his best in every game at Worlds, but the team underperformed and stopped at the quarterfinals. After returning home, when playing games with voice chat, Doggo talked about his time in UP, openly criticizing the coach and jungler without holding back.

“During the UP period, they kept forcing me to pick Kalista, and the jungler would feed within 15 minutes.” If memory serves, Doggo joined UP in Season 13, when Ning was the starting jungler. But from Doggo’s complaints, it seems he was targeting Hacker, nicknamed Ultraman, who was unbeatable in the first 15 minutes but would fall apart afterward. This kind of roasting of former teammates suggests Doggo has no plans to return to the LPL.

Cryin calls out to LCK: Let us win once.

The LPL’s performance at this Worlds was indeed disappointing. Next year, the region’s popularity is expected to decline further. Both the officials and many former pros are worried. If the championship is not won again next year, the enthusiasm might drop to rock bottom. That’s why the officials changed the transfer rules. MSI champion mid laner Cryin recently, during a livestream, abandoned any dignity and directly challenged LCK: Let us win once.

Guozi said: The current environment is tough, the European and American regions are struggling, so only LPL and LCK remain to compete. But since LPL hasn’t won the championship for a long time, our audience has lost enthusiasm. So it’s time for LCK to let us win once. It’s not about begging, championships are earned by strength. Begging others would be shameful. As a former pro, saying this shows how hard it is to hold back.

Conclusion:

Professional players asking other regions to give up championships really lowers the value. Championships are won through strength and hard work step by step. If relying on charity, what’s the point of competing? Did RNG beg for permission when they won MSI? Cryin might be worried about losing his career in LoL, but such words are really off-putting.

So, do you think AL’s loss was Saint Gunner’s fault?
