(A work of conscience, honest people don’t lie)
S1 – Pioneering era
S1 The first season of the World Finals is far less magnificent than it is now, but it is a bit shabby. Looking around, there are only 8 participating teams, almost all of which are European and American teams, and the championship bonus is also pitiful (5W USD), the champion of that year is also Fnatic (FNC), which is very familiar to our LPL friends. In this way, the first S competition has temporarily come to an end. This competition is more like Roit's first promotion to the world!
S2 – The initial scale of
S2 World Finals has increased by a higher level in both the scale of the event and the meticulousness of the schedule. The number of participating teams increased to 12, from the five major competition areas and the wild card competition areas. The champion of this competition is Taipei Assassins (TPA Taiwan) from the Asian Division.
0 There are Chinese people starting to appear in these teams, that is - old WE. Unfortunately, because of the "disconnection", WE stopped in the quarterfinals and lost to CLG-EU. In the future, the strong men Ruyun, WE successfully avenged the shame in the IPL5 game, and the Chinese team touched the peak for the first time.
From then on, the Asian team began to gradually show their dominance over LOL!
S3, S4 – The beginning of the anti-Korea road
In a blink of an eye, time came to the S3 World Finals. This is the third year of lol's development. The operations of leagues in major competition areas have become more and more regular. SKT in the lck competition area is at its peak, sweeping the entire competition with a destructive momentum and successfully won the cup
But this year's Chinese team has also shown amazing strength, most famous as "dark force OMG" , in the group stage, the favorite SKT met the championship. In the crucial opening game, OMG lived up to expectations, won SKT, and won the first victory of the LPL.
Although they regretted losing to the nemesis - the old royal family in the subsequent quarterfinals, they still brought many surprises to the majority of masturbation friends this year. Let’s talk about the old royal family (RYL) back then. The most familiar teammates are Uzi. Under his leadership, RYL has passed five levels and defeated six generals and reached the final. Unfortunately, due to BP, he finally lost to SKT, returned in disgrace and won the runner-up.
S4 Global Finals, Samsung Brothers Team (SSW. SSB) showed a shocking terrifying strength, sweeping many teams unstoppable, like a kind of killing people and a Buddha blocking the aura of killing Buddhas (how is there any reason to keep last year's champion SKT from outside the World Championship?), but OMG still performed very well that year, and the group stage was 50-year-old turnaround against FNC base
advanced to the group stage without any danger. In the quarterfinals, he abused NWS White Shield
yelled a lot for the Chinese team! But God was jealous of talents, and they met their lifelong enemy again - the royal family SHR, and unfortunately stopped at the semi-finals.
Uzi led his royal family SHR to the final again,
helpless but lack strength. SSW was indeed close to invincible at the time, and the royal family lost 3:1. South Korea temporarily maintained the dominance of the S match
S5 – The stormy era
S5 World Championship, the Summoner Canyon changed a lot, which also indicates that the past will eventually become history. New hope Shanshan is coming. The LGD team in the LPL region overturned MSI champion EDG in the summer season and qualified as the number one seed. Almost everyone thinks this is a year of hope to win the championship. The ideal is full and the display is very skinny. The tactical understanding deviation caused by the backward version + iron BP caused LGD to lose consecutively in the group stage
IG life and death game, EDG was sealed against FNC
Finally, the former king SKT was reborn in adversity, and in the world competition only had one loss record and returned to the top of the world. Since then, LPL has become a laughing stock, and the world's first division has changed hands again
S6 Before the start of the S6 season, there were major changes in personnel in all major competition areas (except LK), and many teams have introduced foreign players to varying degrees. After a year of running-in, they will compete on the stage of the S6 finals. In the group stage, the two Korean heroes SKT and ROX rely on their super players' strength and suffocating rhythm make their respective groups wail.EDG was officially rated as the world's number one jungler "clearlove" and led the stumble and qualifying with the new royal family - RNG. Perhaps it was the will of heaven in the dark that the above four teams met in the quarterfinals at the same time, and the fateful duel came again. LPL is slightly inferior in both tactics and players, but he failed again in the quarterfinals. ACE. The semi-finals battle seems to be a preview of the championship and runner-up. The battle between ROX and SKT Tianwang Mountain is full of back and forth, and it is full of excitement!
In the end, this young little tiger still lost to the experienced SKT. But they presented the world with one of the most exciting BO5s in the history of the World Finals. There is no doubt that SKT, which is still strong in the end, won the cup for the third time
S7. Before the global finals of the rebirth of the fire, it was updated to the incense burner version, perfectly in line with the classic tactics of the four-guarantee and one in the LPL region. The game pace is slow. RNG learned from his mistakes and formed an all-Chinese team. The new WE rose again. Although SKT is still the same SKT, it does not seem invincible. I believe this year is another year with the most chance! RNG double-killed Samsung in the group stage, proving that the all-Chinese team is equally strong!
EDG group stage misses the enemy and relaxes its advantages, and has lost many good games, so that there is no group qualifying and the regret stops. WE joined hands with RNG as the first in the group, and both teams won the semi-finals, creating the best results in LPL in recent years, one step closer to the dream of a championship. Without any suspense, the life-and-death enemy of China and South Korea met again in the quarter-finals. RNG vs. SKT,
The situation was once in a hurry, and both sides had come and go, but in the life and death game, just because the 3S of Xiangguo Blind Monk did not turn well, the balance of victory and loss began to turn to SKT. In the end, RNG lost regretfully and SKT narrowly won. We still didn't overcome this hurdle... We didn't lose to SKT, but to the man and the impeccable Galio in his hands. WE was also eliminated by the mature Samsung due to lack of experience (it seems that Samsung is a gentle kitten in front of RNG)
Shenzhen finally defeated SKT 3:0 with the inner response of bang. Brother Li's cry also confirmed the collapse of the SKT dynasty
The old king abdicated, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the new Samsung upheld the white and blue will of Samsung and reaped glory again!
S8 – The pinnacle
S8 World Finals, arrived as scheduled, the league is still the belief in the hearts of many people, without a championship in seven years, can it get what it wished this year? Don’t bully the young and poor. Today, LPL has changed a lot. It has won all the championships except the S Championship. RNG is determined to win. The ambitious IG is no longer the glorious LCK, and the last fig leaf KT. Will the script really be like in previous years? In the group stage, RNG performed "the team that no team dared to run, RNG dared" "The commentator doesn't know how to play a team battle, RNG teaches you." Because of this, GEN.G's conservative style of playing, underestimated the enemy, and was sent home is reasonable
RNG has the first qualifying in the group without any danger, IG regretted that he qualified in the group second qualifying in the group due to 2 losses in FNC, and KT and EDG also qualified without any suspense. It is precisely because the pressure to win the early game was not too much. RNG saw that he was getting G2, and he had no awesomeness. All the players laughed at him and refused to face his opponent. BP had no brains and had a mentality in life and death. He ended up making a "big unpopular" and slapped in the face?
IG As always, he is a "all-member reckless man" based on the principle of being able to do it, he directly used a simple and rough LPL-style play, which made KT look confused. Although there were some changes in the middle, the final result also proved that in this version of "Don't be cowardly, just do it", IG is the king of reckless kings. EDG is also performing stably as always, so I won’t say much, but it’s so good that even if you lose, it won’t be your fault. In the semi-finals, the champions and Asian games,
IG also plays its own style, "I heard you are good at laning? Sorry, I IG is better than you!" Clean and neat, destroying and ending the game, without any drag, telling the world that we are the champions! IG is awesome!
The legend is still continuing, let's wait and see...
