Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
After the LPL lower bracket finals, it is about to enter the 13th anniversary of LOL, and the finals of the LPL Summer Tournament will become the highlight of the 13th anniversary ceremony, followed by the competition for the qualifying round.
In terms of TES, the upset loss to WBG was a very big blow to them, and JKL once again became the focus of heated discussions among the audience.
Since last year, LPL has become popular with Meng Huo, because last year there was a scene where JDG defeated BLG more than seven times a year, which reminded the audience of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Huo in the Three Kingdoms, so last year's BLG was called Meng Huo, and last year's Meng Huo became Zhuge Liang this year.
This year's Meng won TES, and at the player level, the most exaggerated Meng won was TES's lower JKL player.
After the previous upper bracket finals against BLG, TES has lost to BLG eight times in a row, from the beginning of last summer to the end of this summer's playoffs, TES has played BLG eight times, four BO5, four BO3, and BLG won all of them.
On the solo side of JKL, it was knighted seven times, and the most outrageous thing is that Knight has never lost to JKL since he left TES, and is called a legendary birdcatcher by the audience (the bird is JKL's black name).
I thought that TES just couldn't beat BLG, and he could win against other LPL teams, but what he didn't expect was that TES lost to WBG in the loser's bracket again, and JKL once again set a new arrest record, and Xiaohu also became JKL's Zhuge Liang.
After the WBG team defeated the TES team, Xiaohu also completed the achievement of seven captures against JKL and TES, and many viewers may not have noticed Xiaohu's winning rate performance against JKL before the game, and many viewers suddenly realized after the game that Xiaohu also has the attribute of restraining Knight.
And Xiaohu did more damage to JKL's seven takes, because Xiaohu's seven takeaways were limited to BO5, and he defeated JKL seven times in a row in the BO5 stage.
Since the RNG era in 2018, the Spring Tournament and the Summer Tournament have successfully won against the S8 World Champion IG twice, and then in the 2021 Spring Tournament, RNG in the lower bracket defeated TES to win the lower bracket and finally won the Spring Championship and MSI Championship, and in 2022, TES was the worst, first lost to RNG in the upper bracket final, and then won the lower bracket final to advance to the finals, and then was defeated by RNG, and RNG won the Spring Championship and MSI Championship again.
In last year's regional qualifiers, Rookie beat WBG 3-2 to win the World Championship seat, and then this year WBG met TES again, which has been enhanced, and WBG played a 3-2 out, ending the opponent's dream of the final.
Personally, I think LOL eSports is a game that values a lot of luck, and there used to be a famous quote from ShowMaker in the esports circle: I have to consider whether this is a unique opportunity in my life. This sentence is very illustrative of the cruelty of e-sports, where players put in a lot of effort, and then do their best to do their part, and leave the rest to God.
The JKL player won the World Championship in the first year of his career, and then summing up his career for the rest of his career, the audience has to ask whether the JKL has spent all his luck on his first title? Seize the unique opportunity, do you have to bear the price of never being able to win the championship again?
In fact, Xiao Tian, who is on the same team as JKL, is in a similar situation, and he is also very painful to be the runner-up for many times in a row.
As for the reason why JKL can't get more honors, I personally think it's more because of his own mistakes, the few times he fought with RNG, in fact, TES has a chance, but at critical moments, JKL will always have some outrageous mistakes that bury the game, and this year JKL improved this very well, but in the end it was a failure.
Of course, JKL and his TES still have a chance, and with the hope of qualifying very high, TES should focus more on the Worlds, learn from the past, and strive to play better on a higher stage.
