★ Game Horseshoe Original
LGD vs. WE
The names of these two teams, 10 years ago, were still very powerful games. Today, LGD and WE have long been in the league, and they have been in the league for many years. In the past few years, it has basically been focused on cultivating and discovering new talents, and those who can sell for money during the transfer period will be sold directly in the same season, and those who can't be sold will be replaced by another batch, year after year. The existence of almost a boot camp is also that they really haven't played any decent results. Especially LGD, in the past few seasons of LPL's decline, the swing is even more powerful.
All the newcomers went to their homes
LGD has a history of successfully selling newcomers in the past, and this year's lineup is made up entirely of newcomers. In the group stage, there were no accidents and they were assigned to Nirvana, although in the end their results were still the best in Nirvana, but today's battle against WE, who reached the peak, was also eliminated by 3-1 relatively easily. The second return of the mid-laner frog, a set of 0-5 Yong'en reawakened many people's sleeping memories again, remembering his outrageous performance of rotating Haichao when he made his debut in LGD 2 years ago. LGD can still let such players play the starter, and the stage threshold of this LPL is indeed lower.
WE defeated LGD to advance to the playoffs
Although WE is also rotten, it has finally done some new tricks this year, because Korean players who are not famous are also cheap, so they signed 2 double Cs from LCK this season. With Uenosuke, who already has some experience, he can barely stand in the playoffs of the LPL. The LCK is now using the newcomers of '07, and under the huge competitive pressure of the Korean league, many players who are still young and have potential have indeed become the sweets of the overseas division.
Will Korean aid become mainstream again?
In the past few years, it can be seen that there are no outstanding local newcomers in the LPL, and South Korea is currently in a state of "excess talent".
The most correct year of grouping
This year's LPL has changed the competition system, and climbing to the peak and nirvana is equivalent to separating the strong and the weak. Because even if RA withdraws, there are still too many 16 teams, and there are too many lying flats, and the gap between the weak team and the head team that doesn't spend money and doesn't engage in intensity will be very large, and there will be too much garbage time. After separation, the gap between strength and weakness is more obvious.
With LGD also eliminated today, the 6 teams of Nirvana, namely LGD, EDG, UP, LNG, RNG and OMG, have all finished the second stage. Among them, RNG and OMG missed the third stage, and the entire S15 season has ended more than half a year early. Even if the other teams can participate in the third stage, they will still play in the Nirvana group, reducing the garbage time between them and the strong teams, and it can be said that there is basically no traffic to speak of.
This year's grouping seems to be correct now, in fact, today's LPL is no longer suitable for retaining the huge size of 16 teams, and with the serious decline in the competitiveness of the World Championship in recent years, it is more suitable to return to the model of 10 teams.
