Introduction: The S16 season competitions have officially begun, and it is believed that most players have been following the recent matches. The competitions across various regions are quite intense. Over the years of esports development, many issues have emerged, affecting generations of professional players. In a recent interview, former LPL world championship top-laner GimGoon addressed a critical issue, stating that the narrative driven by official commentators severely impacts players. Their words can potentially devastate a player's mentality. He even noted that Lwx possesses the strongest resilience, having endured widespread ridicule back then.

LPL World Champion States Commentary Has Significant Influence

It is believed that most esports fans are quite familiar with League of Legends. As an esports game, achieving its current scale within just over a decade is remarkably successful. The inclusion of competitions skyrocketed the popularity of League of Legends. Fans across all regions hope their teams can lift the World Championship trophy, and every esports professional shares this singular goal. However, over these years, very few teams have actually won the title—aside from the LPL and LCK regions, only other teams during the S1 and S2 seasons. It can be said that over 95% of professional players have never even reached the world stage.

In recent years, the esports industry has entered a downturn, with many players retiring. To boost competition热度, organizers have brainstormed extensively, even ushering in a "great回归 era" where many veteran players have returned to compete. In a recent interview, GimGoon, the world championship top-laner from LPL's FPX team, addressed numerous matters, including舆论 concerns fans care about. First, he discussed Doinb, stating that Doinb directly反驳教练's incorrect suggestions after hearing them and elaborates his own reasoning. After listening, everyone weighs the points independently, preventing issues from being放大.

He also explained many things regarding his old teammate Lwx. Back when facing G2, AD player Lwx was trembling due to紧张, performed poorly, and was harshly criticized. In that match, his own performance wasn't great either, but the commentators kept focusing on the AD player, questioning his actions. In GimGoon's view, commentators' words carry substantial weight; if a commentator says someone plays poorly, the audience tends to agree. This can严重 affect a player's subsequent match mentality. However, Lwx当时 wasn't heavily impacted and even managed to smile during later matches.

It seems many professional players have experienced the issue GimGoon mentioned, especially with secondary-stream commentators whose remarks are often unrestrained. They might seize a player's mistake, endlessly放大 it and stir online节奏. For instance, as网友 noted, during a BLG match, after securing Baron, a chaotic retreat occurred where Xun turned back and used a W skill into the enemy crowd. The commentator exclaimed that Xun was probably covering the retreat, and the live chat praised him. If another commentator said this move was an unnecessary送, the chat would likely become extremely critical. So sometimes it's not the player's fault; commentators and viewers see the same视角, but their perspectives hardly align with players' decisions.

Final Thoughts

难怪 TES team's official stance has been targeting certain LPL staff members; their approach isn't without reason. Indeed, commentators nowadays increasingly lack discipline, especially on official secondary streams, treating调侃,嘲讽, and stirring节奏 as爆点热点, disregarding their own influence and无限放大 minor player issues. As the official organization, shouldn't proper整顿 be implemented?
