Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
LPL's transfer period this year is coming to an end, and there are still a large number of teams that have not yet determined the lineup, and there are a total of 16 teams in LPL after RA withdraws, and the overall volume is still very huge, and the gap in team strength in the new season will be more obvious.
There is a very big trend in this year's transfer period, that is, the departure of a large number of Korean aids, which has also become the focus of heated discussions among the audience.
In fact, in recent years, an overall trend in the LPL is that the number of Korean aid has been decreasing year by year, on the one hand, it is difficult for the LPL to attract top Korean aid, on the other hand, the Korean aid that has played well in the LPL will return to the LCK, this year has been the case, LPL has currently had six major Korean aid returned to China, and only one person came to China.
The seven Korean reinforcements are LGD's top laner Burdol, JDG's bottom laner Ruler, TT's mid laner Ucal, AL's jungler Croco, and FPX's bottom lane duo Deokdam and Life.
Only one player will come to China, and that's Peyz from GEN, who will be joining Team JDG.
In the case of the loss of seven Korean aids, only one person comes to the LPL, the number of all-Chinese classes in the LPL will reach a new high, and the number of Korean aids will also reach the lowest level in history.
Team AL, Team JDG and Team IG are the only remaining double Korean aid teams in the LPL, and TES is a single Korean aid team, and it is worth mentioning that the number of Korean coaches in the LPL division will increase this year.
Coach Homme will return to the field next year, LPL will also invite two Korean coaches to come, one of them is cvMAX, plus Daeny, LPL is more inclined to introduce Korean coaches in the case of a small number of domestic coaches, JDG can expect to introduce cvMAX, WBG may invite Hiral.
It may be a good thing in the eyes of many viewers that the number of LPL Korean aid has decreased, but in fact, from the perspective of the region, the decrease in the number of Korean aid is bad news for the region, which means that the number of talents will decrease, the competitiveness of the region will also be reduced, and there will be a large number of weak teams and garbage games, and the health of the league will decline.
In fact, several Korean aides who left this year have performed well, Ucal is conscientious and has a good professional attitude, even if the strength has declined a lot, but it can reach the middle of the LPL.
AL's Croco is a good seedling, this year's summer AL is a dark horse team, Croco has made a lot of contributions, returning to the LCK region may grow into an excellent jungler, and there is FPX's bottom lane combination, which also helps FPX become a dark horse, but in the end, it is to leave the region, and there is the Ruler who is recognized as a strong strength, and it is a pity to leave the LPL.
The current situation in the LPL is that there are a large number of teams that are unwilling to spend money, the strength of the middle and lower reaches of the team has declined a lot, and there will be a situation of disconnection, and it is difficult to introduce even talented Korean newcomers, and the number of talented newcomers in the LCK is actually decreasing, but there are only ten teams in the LCK region, and they can still ensure that they are strong enough.
However, there are still 16 teams in the LPL region, and I personally think that even if the LPL is modified through the competition system, it can allow strong teams and strong teams to play more games and improve the enjoyment, but it is still difficult to fundamentally solve the problem.
This year's RA withdrawal is a good signal, but only RA withdrawal is far from enough, there is not much time left for LPL in the future, and next year will become another watershed.
If there is an all-Chinese class that can win the championship in the local area, I believe that countless old viewers will also be moved by it, so that the LPL league can regain its vitality and vitality, and then through the new competition system and the reduction of the number of places in the competition area, the audience can regain their confidence and enthusiasm for watching the game.
