Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The LPL was the focus of the final of the upper bracket in the semi-final stage yesterday, and in the top battle of the LPL, the BLG team still had the last laugh, defeating the TES team with a score of 3-1 to advance to the finals.
The content of this game is still very exciting, but from the perspective of the audience, BLG's strength lead is indeed a lot.
Last year, Knight played in the JDG team, reached the finals in the spring and summer seasons and won two LPL championships, and this year, the left hand who transferred to BLG helped BLG reach the LPL finals twice in a row.
After reaching the finals of the Summer Tournament, the BLG team has already secured a ticket to the S14 World Championship in advance.
Knight has reached the LPL finals a total of six times in his LPL career, and 2020, 2023 and 2024 are the most successful three years of Knight's career so far, and of course this year Knight has the potential to create even better results.
Back in 2020, Knight reached the LPL finals twice with the TES team and won the summer championship.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that since Knight left the TES team, he has maintained a seven-game unbeaten record against TES and completed a wave of epic seven-kill achievements against his old club.
Of course, Knight's choice is also quite important, and he has become the preferred midlaner for LPL's top configuration for two consecutive years, and he is also the player with the best chance of impacting the world championship in LPL's domestic midlaner.
On the other hand, the TES team, yesterday's defeat was still a big blow to them, for two reasons, the first is that TES's explosive rise and sprint was blocked by the BLG team again, TES's performance before facing BLG this time can be said to have exceeded many people's expectations, showing the quality and quality of a strong team.
I thought that this team that was on the rise and was close to the upper limit of its own strength configuration team would be able to play more back and forth when it met BLG again, and even if it lost, it wouldn't be so ugly, but TES didn't play a good enough effect to win except for the special Nakano who was selected by the opponent in the first game, and the next three games were basically easily handled by BLG.
The second reason is that the version of the World Championship will be very unfavorable to TES, TES can now be described in four words, we all know, the two version changes announced by Riot focus on strengthening the AP midlaner, weakening the attributes of the AD midlaner itself and the precision runes that depend on survival.
Once the Worlds enters the competition for traditional mages, Crème's weaknesses will be exposed, Crème is actually a player who has eaten the dividends of the AD mid-laner version, but he is not good at mages.
In addition to Crème, in fact, 369's shortcomings are also relatively obvious, it is difficult to stand up for the Carry team, the combination of JKL and Meiko can win by playing some relatively less strong lower lane combinations, but playing LCK's kind of picking out details and playing rigorously will suffer more.
Personally, I think that in fact, the BLG team is also more afraid of the World Championship Tsar Clockwork taking off, and they also hope that the AD mid-laner in the World Championship version can still appear and play the effect, the key is to see what kind of pattern trend it will be after the World Championship really starts, if the AD mid-laner will be directly extinct at that time, it will definitely be good for the T1 team.
BLG's biggest advantage is that the team configuration is indeed strong enough, at this point it is basically the same as GEN, but BLG's coaching staff is probably not as good as LCK, if the BLG team's ceiling is 100, maybe the coach can only play 80-90 points, while the coach on the Korea side can often break through the ceiling and play more than 100 points.
Therefore, judging from the LPL strong dialogue this year, TES is indeed far from the real top team, and it is not as strong as MSI or the World Cup finals in terms of intensity, and the two teams still need to work hard, hoping to complete a new round of breakthroughs.
