Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The LPL Playoffs have concluded all the matches before the finals, and the 13th anniversary stage will be followed by the 13th anniversary stage, when the biggest winner of this year's LPL Summer Tournament will be decided, as well as the remaining three tickets to advance to the World Championship.
During the rest and preparation, LPL viewers also discovered a bizarre phenomenon, which caused a lot of heated discussions.
The two teams that advanced to the LPL Summer Finals this year are BLG and WBG, and most viewers may not have expected the script of this finals, the WBG team was in the case of a very poor performance at the beginning of the summer season, and the state of the group rebounded, and then the playoffs became more and more courageous, all the way to the finals, which surprised WBG fans very much.
The BLG team is carrying the hope of winning the championship in the LPL all-Chinese class this year, and has the strongest configuration recognized by everyone, and this team's promotion to the finals can be said to have been guessed by many viewers long before the start of the summer competition.
But after these two teams advanced to the finals, there was a problem - lack of heat, simply put, there were no top players in the two teams, and as a result, LPL encountered a relatively rare and bizarre phenomenon when selling tickets, that is, the finals tickets that symbolize the highest level of competition in the LPL were cold, and the ticket sales speed was too slow, which was completely different from previous years.
Normally, the moment LPL starts selling tickets, tickets of all grades may be sold out in a short period of time, especially the summer final, which also includes the anniversary ceremony, and there are many other exciting contents in addition to the competition.
In this case, the LPL official chose to issue a large number of discount coupons, including a lot of five-fold coupons, many originally very expensive tickets, which became very cost-effective after the discount, but the result was still very slow.
Because at present, the only top player left in the entire LPL is JKL, after TES advances to the finals, with the size and strength of JKL fans, it is possible to quickly empty all tickets in a short time.
As a result, I didn't expect TES to fail to advance to the finals in the end, and what made the LPL official even more headache was that BLG had a significantly higher probability of winning the championship in the LPL Finals, and once BLG won the championship, TES would become the second seed with the first position in the year's points and go straight to the S14 Global Finals.
In this case, TES will not participate in the bubble tournament, so tickets for other qualifying tournaments other than the finals will not be easy to sell, because the traffic of LNG, JDG and NIP teams is not high, and if you have to choose, the number of fans of Scout and Rookie will be higher, but compared to JKL, it is definitely not a volume.
Personally, I think that the views of the audience when the popularity of LPL plummeted at the beginning of the year are correct, and now LPL needs both champions and traffic players, especially The Shy, Uzi, Doinb, LPL needs to let these players return next year, among which Uzi is unlikely, but The Shy, Doinb should have a good chance to return.
At the same time, LPL had better win the World Championship this year, LPL urgently needs a new traffic group to appear, such as BLG, of course, if TES can win the World Championship, it is estimated that LPL will usher in a wave of finale, because TES is also an all-Chinese class, winning the championship can also create history, and once TES wins the championship, there will be three double champions in the team, and the historical status will also rub up, from this point of view, LPL hopes that TES will win the World Championship, but the difficulty must be very great.
And if BLG wins the championship, I personally think it is difficult to judge that the popularity of BLG's players can be as big as RNG, IG, after all, the popularity of LOL is not as high as it was at its peak, the number of players and audiences is decreasing, and the new team may not have so many fans if it wins the championship, but if the script of BLG wins the championship appears, LPL will also usher in a wave of finale, because as long as the all-Chinese class wins the championship, the biggest regret of the LPL audience can be made up, Next year's heat is certainly guaranteed.
