Introduction: The S15 season has officially begun, and I believe most players have been paying attention to the recent matches. After the Oil Cup concluded, the GEN team triumphed over the AL team with a score of three to two, securing the championship. This match was thrilling for many fans and highlighted the strong competitive abilities of both teams. The refusal to let a reverse sweep happen made fans fully aware of the gap between the LPL and LCK regions. In the post-match interview, AL's head coach Tabe remarked that there were no regrets in this match, and he believes the fans feel the same way, as the AL team gave their all.

Tabe stated that they gave their all.

It's believed that most players are very interested in this Oil Cup competition. Following the conclusion of the MSI matches, the Oil Cup commenced immediately. For many fans, this match was a battle for redemption and an opportunity for the LPL region. If we could win the championship, it would be a chance to reclaim what was lost at MSI. However, in this matchup, the AL team fought valiantly but couldn't overcome the formidable GEN team. Over the past month and a half, the AL team has lost three finals, all in BO5 formats, leaving each time with regrets. It seems that the players' champion pool was insufficient, completely limiting their ability to counter the opposing team's lineup.

The final match against the GEN team was heart-wrenching for fans, especially in the first two games, where GEN displayed nearly perfect teamwork, easily suppressing the AL team early on. The team fights were overwhelming, leaving us with no opportunities. In the first two games, not a single player reached level 18, which underscores how fast the game's pace was. Just when everyone thought the match was over, the AL team sounded the horn for a comeback. In the third game, the top laner Saint and the AD Hope stepped up, giving their all to bring the score back, allowing us to witness the fourth game's confrontation.

The most exciting moment was undoubtedly the fourth game's clash. Early on, the AL team had a slight advantage, but during the mid-game team fights, Ruler's Kai'Sa performed exceptionally well, making several aggressive plays that the AL team couldn't counter. Fortunately, Canyon's mistake with his Gragas allowed the AL team to eliminate him in several team fights, relieving GEN of frontline pressure. Saint's crucial Baron play was also pivotal. As the battle song played, everyone felt that the AL team had a chance to win the championship, similar to the previous finals of the winner's and loser's brackets. However, the final outcome wasn't much different from before; in the last game, everything fell apart early, and there were no opportunities in the mid-game.

During the BP phase, they directly allowed the enemy to have Xayah, resulting in Ruler securing two kills early in the game, and the snowball effect only grew larger, leading to a 20-minute verdict on the match. In the interview, AL's head coach Tabe also responded to this match, stating that there are always winners and losers, but today AG.AL did not disappoint anyone. He added that the entire team had given their all and that they couldn't match GEN's heroes. Today, we definitely did not deliver a performance that would disappoint ourselves or the audience. GEN's mid and bot lanes were exceptionally strong; Chovy could win even using Twisted Fate, knowing that Twisted Fate had a zero win rate in the MSI matches.

Goodbye is what I think.

It seems that the GEN team is truly on the verge of creating a dynasty. After the match, they immediately considered T1, HLE, and AL as stepping stones. They have now achieved over 20 consecutive victories, not losing a single match in either BO3 or BO5 formats. I believe that LPL players are quite satisfied with AL's performance, but it might truly be an issue with their champion pool. In the context of global BP, it's unreasonable to expect every LPL player to have exceptional adaptability.

What do you all think about this matter, dear viewers?
