In the professional arena of LOL e-sports, if you want to get higher popularity and be liked by more audiences, the best way is to be able to play good performance and good results, if you can meet these two situations Next, a player who has some other advantages, such as personality and appearance, will become a very popular player.
In the last few years, the most popular player on the LPL side is The Shy. This top laner from the IG team once demonstrated an operation that a top laner can play in the world arena peak.
Because S8 and S9 performed so well, The Shy has accumulated a very large fan base.
But in the S10 and S11 seasons, The Shy began to be more and more questioned by the audience. Last year, The Shy's overall performance was not good enough, but in this case he is still the most popular player in LPL.
However, The Shy was not selected abroad. The well-known Reddit forum abroad recently selected the most popular player of the year. In terms of LPL, only 6 players were selected, not including The Shy. It can be seen that The Shy's popularity abroad in 2020 is not high.
Many spectators may say that because The Shy did not enter the World Championship, spectators in other regions do not have much chance to see The Shy.
However, the LPL selected players also include a mid laner Doinb of the FPX team who was defeated by IG in the bubbling match last year.
At the same time there are V5 team's auxiliary player Ppgod (Ppgod may be the most popular player in LPL in 2020, everything must start with this special ID), SofM of SN team, Kanavi of JDG team, Nuguri, who previously played in DWG and currently in LPL, and Tarzan, who is currently in LPL.
Only one of the 6 players is a domestic player,Two of them did not join the LPL last year. Many viewers said that they did not understand why Knight and JKL were not selected, and they did not know the preferences of foreign players.
As for The Shy, foreign audiences may be more rational than domestic audiences. Because The Shy had a lot of crimes last year, so many foreign audiences did not like The Shy so much.
The difference in the division is here. If The Shy is competing in a foreign division and helped the foreign division win the first World Championship in the S game, then foreign audiences will have a high tolerance for The Shy. .
In short, I still hope that LPL players, including The Shy, can cheer and get back the Summoner trophy we lost in this year's S11 season.
