Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
LPL ushered in a new round of competition reform this year, under the new competition system, the bottom two teams in the Nirvana group in the second stage will be eliminated directly, ending the year's competition journey.
At present, OMG has been eliminated, and RNG is still one step away.
The RNG team currently only wins one game in the Nirvana group, which is the one against OMG, and if they lose one more game in the future, they will have a direct holiday like OMG, you must know that it is only May, and once they are eliminated, it is equivalent to saying that there is no game to play for six or seven months, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to professional players and teams.
Originally, if a team played in the league and failed to qualify for the World Championship, the vacation time throughout the year was very long, but now if it can't play in the third stage, the team will be on the verge of collapse.
In the process, the LPL also ushered in important revelations, Chinese e-sports insiders said that RNG's departure can be expected this year, they are negotiating to sell their LPL spots, and the Falcons, that is, the Falcons organization from Saudi Arabia, will participate in the bidding.
In other words, RNG now has plans to withdraw from the alliance, and the organization from Saudi Arabia will become the main bidder, and it is reported that the Falcons have tried twice to enter the LEC but ultimately failed.
After that, they will turn their target to the LPL region and participate in the bidding for RNG seats, with the bidding price reaching 8 million US dollars, or about 57 million yuan.
It was revealed that Falcons tried to enter Riot's top system as early as 2023, negotiating with the Astralis team but not getting Riot's approval, and Riot may oppose Falcons' acquisition of RNG's slots, so even if Falcons and RNG reach an agreement, it is possible that they will not be able to appear in the LPL arena.
In response to this news, many viewers said that if Falcons can acquire the LPL region, it will be the best result for the LPL region - RNG withdraws from the alliance and the Saudi bigwigs enter the alliance, which is a good thing for both sides.
First of all, RNG is already notorious in the LPL region, and the results are getting worse and worse year by year, after so many years of hard work, there was no achievement, and last year there was a wave of near-death struggles to seek fans to help create a new history of LPL, but the operation is getting worse and worse, and it is indeed time to withdraw from the league.
Secondly, the LPL is now in great need of big capital to enter the market, and once Falcons enters, its financial resources are simply crushing compared to other teams.
Players like Chovy, Zeka, Zeus and even Faker actually have the possibility of negotiating, bringing in two top players at the same time and spending a lot of money to poach in the LPL region, you can form a top configuration.
Finally, there is the question of RNG's exit, the amount of this revelation is 8 million US dollars, to be honest, this amount does not seem to be low, I personally think that it is quite surprising that the seats of the LPL can reach this level now, and another point must be said that RNG had the opportunity to withdraw from the league a few years ago, but at that time they thought very highly of themselves and did not choose to sell the slots.
According to the revelations a few years ago, RNG tried to sell its league seats at a high price, the amount reached the level of hundreds of millions, and finally the negotiations broke down.
But RNG chose to continue to persevere, but as a result, it didn't get any decent results in the past few years, and always fantasized that it could make a comeback, but the bloody reality was in front of us, and the losses suffered by RNG were immeasurable.
Over the years, RNG has also made many substitutions, including the recall of Milkyway during the transfer period last year, but last year's strongest newcomer immediately became mediocre after coming to RNG, and his performance plummeted.
