The newcomer can't go up, and the old can't get down! The transfer period in Europe and the United States is at an impasse

A calm transfer period in Europe and the United States

During the LOL transfer period, the Korean LCK was the first to complete most of the roster formation, Zeus left T1 to join HLE, Doran unexpectedly filled in and entered T1, Beryl returned to DK, and Ruler and Chovy teamed up again, these are all big news. Later, the Chinese LPL also made a big move, and IG gathered Theshy, JieJie, Rookie, Gala and Meiko. JDG has signed new Korean reinforcements, BLG's summer lineup remains unchanged, TES Yong Hunt gathers, Tian joins WBG, etc., and it is expected that there will be official announcements every day in the past two weeks. Among the four major regions, only Europe and the United States are calm, and it seems that they are not in a hurry at all. However, the real reason is... The newcomers can't go up, the old people can't leave, there is nothing to change, and the explosion point is much lower than that of the China-South Korea division.

After merging multiple wild-card regions, the decline continued

Both the European LEC and the North American LCS have experienced the merger of wild cards, and many people originally thought that this might bring some fresh blood to the two major regions, but in fact it did not change the status quo. In particular, Europe, which was the first to merge, has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and no team has been able to advance from the group stage of the finals to the knockout stage for the second consecutive year. The transfer period is still changed by those people, newcomers can't beat the old people, and the old people can't play the World Championship, which is a bit of a dead loop.

The most important reason for a series of problems such as the lack of green and yellow in the competition area and the decline in ratings is actually the world championship. North America has been very competitive in the past two years, but it is not favored but can always squeeze into the quarterfinals in the S competition. And Europe is a shame, not to mention the world champion, and now it doesn't even have the ability to qualify from the Swiss round.

The life-sustaining medicine has expired

The reason why Europe has looked a little better than North America in the past few years is due to the fact that they won the MSI title in 2019. It is also the only second World Championship in Europe in the past 14 seasons since winning S1 in 2011. That year, Caps teamed up with Perkz's G2, and Bo5 eliminated T1 twice, plus S8 and S9 advanced to the finals for 2 consecutive times, which really made Europe reach the top again in all senses.

However, this only one pill of life-sustaining medicine also expires one day, as G2 goes through a trough, reorganizes and dominates Europe again, waiting for the end of G2 being a clown in the World Championship every year. 1-5 at the bottom, 2-3 went home in place, defeated again and again, and the World Championship became the main stage of the showdown between China and South Korea. If Europe wants to rise, I'm afraid it's not enough to have newcomers, the version also needs to be unconventional, and it is impossible to survive to the final if you play the old one.

Everyone should be most interested in G2, Nosuke has left the team, and it is rumored to sign a rookie jungler and former BDS support.

North America

North America is indeed the most suitable region for "nothing to change", half of the teams in the transfer period basically maintain the old lineup, and there are not many others who can reorganize and change blood. Although LCS has performed well in the World Finals for 2 consecutive years, and even almost broke GenG this year, it is also true that there are few newcomers in the region and a lot of reliance on foreign players. At the end of the season, Riot merged Latin America, Brazil and North America into a new LTA region, but it was still the first stage of the first phase of the North and South groups, so there was basically no impact on the transfer period. North America still chooses the previous ones, and Latin America and Brazil still play their own. Therefore, apart from the teams that have been reorganized because of the merger, there are not many teams with big transfer news.

The only big move is C9, changed to 2 new Korean aids, can you believe that Zven actually went back to play ADC, I really can't stand it... This C9 has also been forced to be stuck in the position of the third and fourth this year, but it feels useless.

The winner of the breath-holding contest actually doesn't have much new content

It is difficult for Europe and the United States to have such exciting transfer news as the China and South Korea divisions, and it is also because they have not scored any decent results in the world championship for too long. There are still only those star players who are familiar with each other, and no one cares about the changes in some players during the transfer period. Of course, most of the teams really haven't changed much.
