The Honor Cup S5 competition hosted by Douyu Live Platform will start at 5 pm on October 29, 2022. This Honor Cup invited nine KPL teams and one K-A team, namely: Wuhan eStarPro, Foshan DRG.GK, Chengdu AG Super Play Club , Nanjing Hero Jiujing, Xi'an WE, Xiamen VG, Hangzhou LGD Big Goose, Changsha TES.A, Shenzhen DYG and NBW.
Judging from the lineup of participating teams, the levels of these teams invited by Douyu are slightly less than the competitive platform Huya . The participating teams in the Tiger Yaith Thunder Cup are: Chengdu AG Super Play Club, Guangzhou TTG, Suzhou KSG, Changsha TES.A, XYG, Chongqing Wolf Team , Beijing WB, Foshan DRG.GK, Nanjing Hero Jiujing, and Dongguan WZ. Among them, Wolf Team, AG, TTG, Hero, WB, and XYG are all teams with relatively high popularity and good strength in KPL. In contrast, the ten participating teams in Douyu Glory Cup, except for eStar and GK that can be seen, AG is the top in terms of popularity. The other teams are quite average in terms of popularity and strength. With the same nine KPL and one K-A configuration, the team invited by Huya is obviously more luxurious than Douyu.
On the other hand, if you take a closer look at the ten participating teams in Douyu Glory Cup, if not including the K-A team NBW, more than half of them are considered "quasi-" B teams in KPL. LGD, DYG and TES are teams that have been eliminated in the third round of the regular season of the 2022 KPL Summer Tournament. They are genuine and certainly a Group B team. Although the other two teams, WE and VG, are a little better than the first three teams, and at least they still have the chance to play in the third round of the regular season, their final ranking is the tail of Group A's crane, ranking fifth and sixth. If they are next league, based on their summer season ranking, they will basically lose Group B, so these two teams are considered "quasi-" Group B teams. With three B teams and two "quasi-" B teams, Douyu Glory Cup composed of such a lineup can definitely be regarded as a "Group B battle".
Netizen: It's just a training match that was made for "own son" to have a appointment
After the ten participating teams in Douyu Glory Cup were announced, some netizens joked that this was not a competition, but a training match that Douyu gave money to "own son" to have a appointment. As we all know, Shenzhen DYG, one of the KPL teams, is a professional team of King of Glory under Douyu Live. Therefore, DYG must have participated in this kind of event held by "Dad Dad". By the way, it can also fight with stronger teams across groups, so why not do it? In fact, in addition to DYG, Douyu also has a "little son" - NBW, which is the K-A team founded by their anchors. From the perspective of composition, it is also obvious that NBW is going to compete with the team XYG of Huya anchor Zhang Daxian . Therefore, in a game, there are not only "own son" and "young son", but it is no wonder that netizens joked that the Glory Cup was just a training match for Douyu's team.
No matter what the lineup of Douyu Glory Cup is like, in this long offseason, there is a certain viewability for these platform matches. The Douyu Glory Cup S5 will start soon on October 29. What are your expectations for this game? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss~
