Since four new teams were added to the LPL this year, the total number of games in the season has increased a lot.
Therefore, at the beginning of the new season, the LPL schedule is basically spread out seven days a week, which is definitely more frivolous for the majority of viewers.
In addition to the increase in the number of domestic viewers, overseas competition regions have purchased the broadcast rights of LPL this year and specially dispatched commentators to be resident in LPL.
The LPL did not disappoint the audience. The battle was fierce as soon as the game started, and the fighting was in full swing. It was so exciting that players all over the world exclaimed the charm of the first division.
In comparison, this year's LCK has lost a bit of the "Shakespeare" atmosphere. Some teams, led by SKT, have begun to imitate the LPL's brawling style, which has greatly improved the viewing experience.
However, except for the invincible SKT, other teams in the LCK always feel a bit overshadowed, resulting in a lack of anticipation and suspense among the audience.
Looking back at the LPL, it’s really hard to say who will win the season championship. It’s very confusing.
On the third day of the schedule, most teams have completed their debut games.
The actual situation is generally similar to the predicted rating of the season preview, but there are also some discrepancies.
There are overrated teams, and there are also underrated teams.
Take JD for example, after this team replaced the new pair of "Black and White Buns" in the middle school, Coach Hongmi's efforts in coaching for the previous year began to bear fruit.
In the first battle, JD defeated BLG, making few mistakes throughout the whole process, and they were so stable that they didn't look like a newly integrated team.
As the team's sharpest arrow, Clid, the previously controversial jungler, seems to have suddenly transformed. He has a fierce playing style and sharp operation, and won two MVPs in a row.
Such a dazzling performance and his playing style can't help but remind many viewers of Kandi at the same time last year. The two are quite similar in many aspects.
In other words, the current JD team is a bit like last year’s WE!
EDG, who performed poorly in their first show, were criticized by many. Fans changed their attitude of praising Haro during the German Cup. Thousands of people signed a petition asking the director to play.
Jinoo, the swordsman who gained some fame in LGD, may not be safe in the late festival, and has been criticized by many mother fans. He is not as good as A Guang and others.
At the cusp of the storm, support Meiko was revealed to be playing double queue with Deft all night after losing the game, while Iboy was playing solo.
Anyone with a sharp eye can see some signs that they are not quite right in the mirror.
As for V5, perhaps EDG’s performance was too outrageous and diverted most of the attention, so there wasn’t much discussion about V5.
Moderate, mediocre, and unsatisfactory, this is generally the trend.
……
The last BO3 on the third night was the mediocre V5 visiting Beijing to challenge RNG at home.
Speaking of which, RNG is actually the biggest loser after Zhuge Liang's time travel.
According to the process of the previous life, RNG, which is also the top four in S7, attracts more fans than WE. S8 has made great progress all the way, with only one S championship Uzi missing to almost become a god.
However, WE won the Grand Slam throughout the year, and the Bird's Nest won the cup at home, completely overshadowing RNG.
In the new season, WE's championship lineup falls apart, and the complete team IG rises strongly.
In addition, there are many other strong teams, and the LPL officials have not paid much attention to RNG. Therefore, the Ooze Monster is currently relying on Uzi's fans to support half of the sky, which is far less than the popularity of the previous life.
In the roster announced by RNG before the game, Uzi was absent from the game, and Able was the ADC.
According to RNG's internal announcement, Uzi is suffering from injuries and needs to rest for a while. He will not return until after the Spring Festival at the earliest.
Good guy, LPL can't see pigs or dogs, it just explodes a bunch of old and young workers.
However, the new season of LPL is full of powerful players, as well as the influx of a large number of first-year e-sports fans, so the absence of pigs and dogs does not prevent the event organizers from selling tickets and attracting fans.
The venue was packed with seats. Fans of both teams, organized by fans, collected support props and took their seats in their respective areas.
Everyone laughs at the fandom, but aren’t the major teams rushing to introduce the fandom management model?
These days, it’s the uncle who gives money. Fans in the fan circle buy tickets and buy peripherals, and they also give Bixin likes and grab hot searches. Isn’t it more high-quality than fans who use keyboard support for free?
The key lies in the linkage and joint management. Some teams are blindly indulgent and accommodating, so that the person in charge takes the lead in making trouble, and his own butt is dirty, so how can he avoid causing trouble?
When Zhuge Liang was in WE, he was very careful about this aspect. I dare not say that there is no chaos in the fan group. At least it is orderly and controllable on the whole.
……
After Brother Feng stepped down, RNG promoted Sun Dayong and Heart, who are also known as "Heart Mom and Yong Dad" among fans.
However, RNG's coaches are also high-risk positions in the LPL, and few of them can survive well.
In the first game, RNG had a very solid lineup.
The big bug in the top lane resists pressure, the mid laner Ryze develops, the big mouth in the bottom lane adds Tam, plus a jungle prince.
Overall, RNG still uses the familiar playing system, and every lane seems to be pretty good.
But in the actual game, RNG played very passively, and all three lanes were pushed to eat the plating.
Fortunately, the prince caught a few waves, otherwise V5 would have been full of plating and would have taken off during the laning phase.
Times have changed!
The road ecology of the S8 version in the memory of the previous life was like a duck in water for Letme, and its "sheep" skills left a reputation as "all living beings are equal".
The top laner can hold his own in laning, and has a 50-50 win against anyone. In team battles, he can both start a team fight and take damage. With an invincible Uzi in a three-piece suit, how can he lose the game?
But now the version has changed, and the addition of plating is no less than a heavy blow to the blue-collar top laner.
If you want to play four-guarantee-one, you must be prepared that the "one" your team protects will not be as developed as the enemy until the later stage.
To put it bluntly, this is a version that is more friendly to multi-core teams and encourages early attacks.
The game entered the mid-term, V5 made full use of the team's multi-core advantage and the economic lead achieved during the laning period, and frequently approached RNG for teamfights.
During this process, the development of the big mouth was affected and the equipment stagnated.
However, RNG's lineup lacks the current points that can make up for the damage, and the damage is obviously insufficient.
In the constant team battles, RNG became more and more disadvantaged until it completely collapsed.
In the second game, RNG finally figured it out and came up with a line-up lineup.
V5 chose to fight head-on. There was back and forth between the two sides in the early stage, and the collision was quite fierce.
The situation remained tense until nearly forty minutes. RNG's Able led the lane too deep and was caught, causing RNG to lose the Baron and the Ancient Dragon.
V5 carried the strongest buff, attacked the RNG high ground, and won the game after a wave of team battles.
RNG lost a good game and once took the initiative in the mid-term, but lost the chain at the critical moment.
Able, who made a fatal mistake after the game, was naturally criticized both verbally and in writing. For a while, there were all kinds of posts about missing Uzi on the Internet.
