The 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games League of Legends project can be regarded as an important turning point for LPL's large-scale events throughout the year. Prior to this, LPL had already won the MSI championship. Even in the finals of the 2023MSI, there was a civil war between two LPL teams, JDG and BLG. It can be said that before the Asian Games, with such results and performances, LPL was the first division. However, it is a pity that in the Asian Games after this, because of the grouping, the Chinese team and the South Korean team met in the semifinals in advance, and the outcome of this game almost determined the final gold medal. In the end, the Korean team won the gold medal. The Chinese team, which lost to the South Korean team in the semifinals, defeated the Vietnamese team in the bronze medal match and won the bronze medal. As for why the loss of the Hangzhou Asian Games was an important turning point for the LPL?Because in the next 2023 World Finals, LPL lost to LCK again. Judging from the overall results of large-scale events, in 2023, LPL will win an MSI championship, while LCK will win the Asian Games gold medal and S championship!

In fact, if you look at the situation of the Chinese team and the South Korean team in the Hangzhou Asian Games. At that time, the South Korean team completed the sweep of the Chinese team with an aggregate score of 2-0, and from the whole process of the game, it is obvious that there is a gap in strength between the two teams. So, why is there such a stark gap?In fact, there are two aspects. The first aspect is naturally the change in the lineup of the Chinese team. Because in May 2023, the lineup of the Chinese team at that time was 369, Bin, Jiejie, Knight, Jackeylove and Meiko. However, due to various factors, 369 and Jackeylove did not participate in the Asian Games in the end. Instead, Xun and ELK joined. Especially with the addition of ELK, LPL fans knew at the time that ELK couldn't beat Ruler. In other words, to some extent, the Chinese team did not send the strongest lineup that they could send.

The second is actually the reason for the head coach Zhu Kai at that time. Whether it is BP thinking or the rotation of junglers, Zhu Kai's coaching level can be said to be questioned in this Asian Games. And what's more interesting is that according to Lao Yue, Zhu Kai left EDG in the middle of the season. After the Asian Games, Zhu Kai gradually disappeared from people's sight. Until recently, Zhu Kai appeared in the public eye as an interviewee. Moreover, Zhu Kai also spoke out for the first time after the loss in the Asian Games.

In this interview, Zhu Kai mentioned the problem of the lineup. Zhu Kai believes that in May 2023, the winning rate of the national team composed of 369, Bin, Jiejie, Knight, Jackeylove and Meiko is similar to that of the South Korean team, and he thinks that they all play. But after the substitution, the lineup of Bin, Jiejie, Xun, Knight, Elk and Meiko, he felt that he was slightly inferior. Subsequently, Zhu Kai also talked about the rotation of Jiejie and Xun, Zhu Kai said that the process of the event is different from that of the league, and the starting list is handed over before the side is chosen. In the game against South Korea, the starting jungler who handed in was Jiejie, but the side was purple. I also communicated with Xun when I was offstage, and Xun also felt that there was no big problem with Jiejie in the first game, so a consensus was reached that there was no substitution. Finally, Zhu Kai also talked about his future work plan. And I hope that when I re-enter the club to work, I will see a different version of myself.

Finally, friends, what do you think of Zhu Kai's remarks this time?
