After this S13 World Championship, the pulse of the LPL division not only stayed in the frustration, but also surged a new atmosphere. After the hustle and bustle of the transfer market, the whole region seems to be unusually alive. The 17 teams, after rounds of adjustments and changes, each showed an impressive lineup and strength. This is not only a reshuffle of personnel, but also a new journey for LPL from a super and many strong to a new journey of multiple strong teams.
The new structure of the teams, the competition for the top four, is the most eye-catching focus of this year's transfer period. The four powerhouses – BLG, JDG, TES and LNG – are like four Raptors coming together to compete for the top. On the rating list, they stand proudly at the level of T1 and become the mainstay of the LPL landscape.
If we had to divide the four teams, maybe BLG's overall configuration would be slightly higher than the other three, but with that came the departure of the coach, which allowed us to put these four teams at the same level for a more in-depth discussion. The T2 team is only WBG, and although it does not appear on the T1 stage, its overall strength is higher than that of RNG and NIP. RNG and NIP, as T1 teams, have more internal X factors, and their performance will determine the fate of the entire team, and they may have a chance to surpass WBG or even reach the top four level, however, they may also decline due to the poor performance of the X factor.
There are eight all-Chinese teams in the entire LPL division, of which four BLG, TES, WBG and RNG have outstanding strength. The other four teams, JDG, LNG, and NIP, are expected to compete with the Korean aid team with their strong strength. Such a situation of the all-Chinese class against the Korean aid team is undoubtedly the dream of many viewers. Next year's LPL teams are eager to complete their revenge on the world stage, and if such revenge can be done by the all-Chinese class, it will undoubtedly make the audience even more happy.
However, when analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of a team, we will find that almost every team has certain hidden dangers or shortcomings, which is what makes LPL unique. As with this year's JDG, no team is perfect in every way. However, this may not be a bad thing. Even a team as strong as JDG has repeatedly suffered defeats in the Worlds. The configuration of the team and the coach are important, but what is more critical is the chemistry between the team members. Just like in basketball, the team that is at the top of all five positions is not necessarily the strongest, the team needs a clear division of labor and someone who is willing to make sacrifices.
The strength of the four strong teams in the LPL may be very close, but each team needs to solve its own problems and avoid weaknesses. For example, BLG and JDG need to adapt to new coaches, and the speed of run-in becomes a test;TES needs to be more disciplined and more stable;And LNG, as a team full of Korean style, although the lower limit of strength is extremely high, it needs to be more offensive and seek to take the initiative. Who wins the championship in the future depends on which team can solve their own problems most effectively, make the most of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
Winning the LPL region is not the end of the story, these teams were built with the intention of shining at the World Championship and competing for the championship. Compared with the performance of T1 this year, LPL teams must break through their own limitations if they want revenge. Even if you dominate in the league, it is possible to give in in the worlds. Therefore, the future championship road not only needs to soar all the way in the competition area, but also needs to show unrivaled strength on the global stage. #lpl#
