S12 World Championship, it means that all LOL International Competitions this year have ended. Until the start of MSI in May next year, there should be no particularly large international competitions. To be honest, the two international competitions a year still make many people feel unsatisfied. Many people call for the official , Riot , hoping to have more competitions. Recently, according to foreign media reports, Riot is considering holding national-level LOL competitions, and is also making efforts to get LOL to join the 2024 Olympics. The specific sources of information are as follows: French media revealed: Riot CEO said he is preparing for a large-scale event based on the country and is also negotiating with International Olympic Committee , hoping that LOL can participate in the 2024 Olympic Games or the 2028 Olympic Games. When esports becomes a sport, it will never be outdated.
This is not the first time there have been similar reports. A few years ago, the management of Riot Company publicly stated in an interview, expressing its hopes to prepare a LOL international competition similar to the "World Cup". That is, large-scale events based on countries. This news should be more attractive to Chinese and Korean audiences, but other countries may not have that strong strength. It is probably really held. It is also China and South Korea are competing for the championship every time.
Like in South Korea, they attach great importance to the Asian Games. They even say that if South Korea wins the Asian Games e-sports field, the players' military service requirements can be exempted. This attractiveness is really too great. For professional players, military service will definitely affect their careers. If they can be exempted after winning the championship, they may be able to play longer in the future. Whether it is to increase income or the probability of realizing your dream, the longer you play, the better.
However, many people are not optimistic about LOL entering the Olympics, because LOL is very consuming, and the version almost determines everything. To be honest, in addition to some Asian countries such as China, South Korea, and Vietnam, if the national team is formed in European and American competition areas, their strength will probably decline seriously, let alone other countries. It is already very good for LOL to enter the Asian Games, and it is indeed difficult to enter the Olympics. I can only say that Riot CEO has great ambitions, but the reality may be more cruel. Compared to e-sports entering the Olympics, it feels more likely to hold a World Cup-like e-sports event.
So, do you have anything to say about this?
