Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.;
The popularity of the LPL Professional League has dropped sharply this year, and the withdrawal of top star players is one of the important reasons, coupled with the difficulty of winning the LPL World Championship, so the audience has a more pessimistic attitude towards the current LPL.
LPL officials are also well aware of this, and want to say that some star players can return to the arena next year.
The Shy won the world runner-up last year, and did not choose to stay in WBG during the transfer period, but chose to rest, which caused a lot of controversy at the time, and after the spring game, The Shy did not choose to return to the game, I believe many old viewers know that the longer the player is away from the field, the higher the possibility of a decline in strength.
The Shy said in the previous live broadcast that he would consider coming back to the arena next year, and The Shy said that he would only consider the teams in the LPL region for his comeback next year, because he was used to the LPL environment.
Then in the process of recording the show, The Shy admitted that the goal of coming back next year is to win the world championship, and if there is a good enough opportunity, he will work hard, and he doesn't care how much money he can get, because he has been satisfied for so many years.
To put it simply, The Shy still wants to fight for the world championship, but with the current LOL league pattern, it is too difficult, and The Shy has a lack of stability when he played before, and the difficulty of winning the championship is that he will leave the arena for a year, and it is difficult for a top team to put aside the olive branch, and The Shy's own strength may also be insufficient.
Now the LPL is facing a big dilemma, for the LPL, they need top players like The Shy to return, top players can effectively increase the popularity of the league, and even say that one The Shy is not enough, find a way to make players like Doinb and even Uzi return.
One of the topics that the audience discussed a lot before was to arrange a full-god team for the LPL, the top laner The Shy, the jungler Ning Wang, the middle lane Doinb, the bottom lane Uzi, and the support can be Baolan or Ming.
Putting aside the results, the flow of this team must be full, if such a team can be formed, I believe that the popularity of each game will be very high, but from an objective point of view, it is definitely unrealistic.
In fact, the thing that LPL is looking forward to most now is that the S14 Global Championship can win the championship, if it can win the championship, combined with the return of top players, coupled with the major revision of League of Legends, LPL can return to the popularity of its peak.
But the difficulty must be very large, because this year's MSI includes the World Cup, as well as the earlier last year's World Championship, everyone can clearly see the gap between LPL and LCK now, and it is indeed difficult to play.
The Shy players once led the trend of Carry type top-laners in the LPL division, and the previous LPL division did not pay attention to top-laners, and rarely produced excellent top-laners, but after The Shy, LPL gave birth to many excellent top-laners, but so far no top-list has said that they can really take over the mantle of The Shy to lead the LPL region forward.
Personally, I think that in the current LPL division, only Bin may have hope to complete domination in the top single position, and the same is true for other positions, LPL Mesozoic players have never been able to complete the breakthrough, and last year's JDG's failure can be said to have dealt a considerable blow to LPL.
This year, the top mid-laners in LPL have declined, and the state of the three saints and one emperor is declining, and it seems that only Knight players have a chance to complete the breakthrough, but Knight's state this year has also declined compared with previous years.
On the whole, the golden age of the LPL region has passed, and the reason why the LCK region is so successful is because of the existence of players like Faker, who have always maintained a good state after playing for so many years, and have become the spiritual totem of the LCK.
At such a difficult stage, it depends on whether LPL can withstand the pressure and create miracles on S14, and I hope that the return of The Shy next year will bring more to LPL.
