The German Cup has come to an end, and the new season is just around the corner.
It’s time again before each season, the team rating session that the audience loves to see.
Many official commentators, player coaches and even e-sports media have made predictions and evaluated the levels of each LPL team next season.
Overall, the views are relatively close to those of the majority of players.
The era of the three royal families competing in the S7 global finals has come to an end, and instead, the era of the new four emperors has begun!
The four teams, WE, IG, VG, and V5, are recognized as the leading teams in the LPL.
Many people had predicted that WE would fall at a speed due to the departure of Wolong and Nosuke. However, WE's new players were unexpectedly very reliable. The assistant coach Qilin even won the master-disciple duel with Wolong in the German Cup. It can be seen that the championship team
The background is still there.
IG's trident is sharp and sharp. Although it can sometimes be stubborn and sinful, the talent and potential are really visible to the naked eye. IG, with all its members in great shape, may be the operational ceiling of the LPL team and also the unique scenery of the LPL division.
This season of VG can be said to be the most successful year for Krypton Gold. The paper strength of the new lineup is quite impressive. However, given that VG has had many problems in the middle and late stages in previous years, it is necessary to follow up.
As for V5, many players believe that V5 should not be included in the Yonko echelon, but should be listed in a separate tier, called "Mysterious V5"!
After the new Yonko, there will be a series of strong contenders for the playoffs, such as EDG, RNG, JD, BLD, LNG and other teams.
The water ghost army, which is scheduled by players to be the source of happiness next season and has a high probability of swooping down at the foot of the Heavenly King Mountain, is nominated by OMG, LGD and YM.
OMG has begun to suffer the backlash from the all-Chinese class banner that was set up in its early years. Its own club cannot cultivate outstanding newcomers, cannot afford good domestic players, and has a lot of troubles. It is afraid that it will sink for a long time.
It will take some time to recover.
LGD really can't understand it, and it started to mess up inexplicably. The key is that the LPL doesn't have the No. 1 pick! Uh, maybe they are following WE and waiting for a five-year plan?
As for YM, the prostitute teacher tried her best.
In order to compete for tickets, Saozhu has been squeezed out of his wallet. It is not easy to cobble together a cute new lineup. What more bikes are needed?
Overall, competition in the LPL will become more intense.
The gap between the Yonko in the first echelon and the second echelon is actually not very big. It is basically difficult to say who can definitely defeat whom.
There is no such thing as WE last season, which clearly left other teams far behind.
In fact, there is no guarantee that the Water Ghost Army will use its strength to randomly take away a favorite to win the championship. It is not 100% impossible to happen.
Whether you win or lose, you have to fight to find out the answer.
……
In comparison, the LCK next door is completely a situation where one super player has many strong players.
The focus of the new LCK season must be the brand-new SKT, a historic luxury battleship!
At the same time as the German Cup was held in China, LCK also held the K Cup as usual.
SKT's entire main lineup played, and with an invincible and domineering attitude, they easily defeated all teams and won the cup with a complete victory.
In the S7 Global Finals, the performance of the other two teams representing the LCK in the K Cup was quite disappointing.
Samsung, which changed its name to Gen.G, is as slow to warm up as ever. Coupled with the problem of version discomfort, it seems very confusing after watching a few games.
KZ, which also changed its team name, was quite suitable for this version, but was accidentally eliminated by a secondary league team midway.
The dark horse Griffin first defeated the three-star team, then destroyed the African team, all the way to the finals, and stood in front of SKT.
However, such an amazing new army is still powerless against SKT.
SKT blossomed more and beat Griffin in every line!
One round of BO5 took less than two hours, including rest time.
It can be seen that SKT’s new lineup is integrating well.
According to rumors circulating, SKT's record in training matches with LPL teams is also very impressive.
WE lose more and win less, IG cannot take advantage in the laning phase, let alone other teams, they can basically beat GG in 20 minutes.
The person with the most number of fights in kkoma is Zhuge Liang’s V5, which almost left everyone in V5 with a psychological shadow.
Zhuge Liang seriously suspected that KKoma was clearly seeking revenge for the global finals and deliberately brought the Galaxy Battleship to show off in front of him.
However, speaking with conscience, Zhuge Liang is now almost convinced that this SKT team will become the number one enemy of LPL in this year's global finals.
In his opinion, this year's SKT is quite similar to IG, but it is the ultimate version of IG!
On the top lane, Smeb may not have as high an upper limit as Theshy, but he is worse than Theshy because he is stable enough, has rich experience, can resist C, and rarely explodes, so his lower limit will be higher than Theshy.
The jungler Peanut has received KKoma’s tactical tilt in the new season, and he has partnered with his old teammates. He is a bit dreaming back to the ROX era, and has become a fierce and fierce rhythm starting point.
Faker in the middle has a reliable teammate, and he can finally use Galio to protect four. Now he can not only use the core to delay the late stage, but also use cards and roaming heroes such as Enchantress to support.
The bottom lane duo's laning ability is not top-notch, but in the mid-to-late game they can often serve as a stable C position and do enough damage.
It also has a tactical style that focuses on the upper, middle and jungle, and the bottom lane resists pressure and develops. SKT is more comprehensive and mature, not as extreme as IG.
First of all, Mata is getting older and his operations have declined a bit, but his commanding ability, vision control, wild assistant linkage and even overall view are all shortcomings that IG urgently needs to improve.
Secondly, SKT can master the splitting tactics very well. Not only Smeb can split the zone, but Faker can also split the zone.
In the end, IG is the best in the world with one move, while SKT’s strongest point is operations, not just operations.
Based on Zhuge Liang's personal analysis, if this SKT team continues to work together and the five of them can work together, by the time they reach the global finals, they will definitely be far stronger than the KT team in their previous lives.
Even the top IG may not be able to climb this mountain!
As the news spread, LPL fans couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
After finally winning the cup at home, enjoying the glory of the first division, we were on the verge of winning two consecutive championships in Incheon, but reality was ruthless in the back.
Even if you have seen Faker crying after being defeated, who dares to look down upon him when he sees Faker standing up again and SKT rising from the ashes?
……
A few days later, the promotional video for the new LPL season was released.
The official attitude revealed is quite subtle.
The official seems to be intending to create a prosperous picture of "all schools of thought", and they have a good grasp of balance.
Pigs and dogs still need to be praised, WE and Wolong are a little bit cool, IG is the next card, and VG can also be used to absorb overseas traffic...
It was clearly arranged!
