I believe old fans are naturally familiar with this scene. Many young fans only saw IG win the first championship, FPX win the second championship, and EDG's third championship, and 4-year three championships made new fans of LPL confident. Even in the LPL playoffs, it was believed that T1 came to LPL and could not even enter the S game. However, reality gave these fans a blow. T1 not only entered the S12 final, but also eliminated RNG and JDG teams one after another. . Old fans accepted this result calmly and sighed: Yes, this is my youth!
Some fans may think that missing the past is a kind of unconfident behavior, but often reviewing the shortcomings of the past is also a driving force to urge players to make progress? How terrifying was the Korean-style operation at the beginning? To describe the game in one sentence, it is: LCK advantage. We can't see any turnaround points at all. We try our best to break free, but what we get is all about is being understood, as if we have been playing in their rhythm. With LPL advantages, you will find that you don’t feel at all at ease, but instead feel extremely unstable, as if the advantage has been eroded by LCK until it is overturned.
As the saying goes, the laning cannot beat the laning, and the team can't beat the team. Even the operation is always trapped in the control of LCK . This is the current situation of LPL in the S match back then. Perhaps new fans now think that the results of the semi-finals are not excellent, but as long as the LPL reached the semi-finals back then, it was considered an extremely excellent result, and it could even be played for a year. This is the LCK of that year. The S12 season is very similar to S7, and it is still T1 to advance to the finals, and the finals are LCK civil war. The only difference is that the lower half of the area is GEN and DRX, rather than GEN to LPL.
If the final result is T1 playing GEN, it will correspond to S7 again. If T1 wins the championship, it will be revenge on Samsung and Faker becomes the four-champion. If GEN wins the championship, it will be a replica of the S7 season, and Faker may shed tears on the scene again. But for LPL, these are actually not important. . Regarding the gap between our two divisions, Miller also talked about two points, the player pool and the hero pool. player pool refers to the reserves of youth training players. LCK has begun to use new players, and its intensity has exceeded LPL.
But LPL is still the main player, and it is still unknown whether the newcomer can do it. The hero pool is the personal problem of the players. LCK has made all the strange moves on S12, and even the trump cards have not been taken out. However, the selection of the four LPL teams is still limited to 20 heroes, and there are not many innovations in . These gaps were not born overnight. The contestants need to be replaced gradually, and the heroes need to be practiced one by one. It can be seen that LCK has gone too far before us. What do you want to say about this?
