Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.

The second semi-final of the S14 World Championship came to an end, with the T1 team ending a ten-round winless streak against GEN and successfully defeating their opponents to advance to the finals, and Faker and his teammates also achieved the achievement of reaching the finals for the third consecutive year.

In contrast, the performances of GEN and Chovy were undoubtedly disappointing.

Chovy's weaknesses are exposed, and the LCK faces a new crisis

In this round of the game, the game between the two sides, from BP to on-the-spot performance and player performance, GEN is greatly behind, Kiin players played at a good level, Lehends is in a very low state and has made too many mistakes as a breakthrough, and the performance of other players is also disappointing, especially Chovy, who has problems again in key tournaments.

Chovy's Achilles' heel was exposed here, as GEN was forced to the fifth game by FLY before the final against T1, after which Chovy said in an interview that he had nine points of confidence in winning the championship, but now it has been lowered.

In the game against FLY, Chovy actually had a problem, that is, in a really high-intensity confrontation, Chovy would have problems with his personal operation under heavy pressure, and his judgment of the game situation would also be wrong, and then Chovy would become the omnipotent mending machine, and he would not do well enough except for mending.

It can only be said that this time GEN did have a problem in the World Championship, and this is not the first time GEN has had problems, Chovy is the absolute core of GEN, and it is also the existence of the LCK that everyone is optimistic about in the future to succeed Faker, as a result, Chovy can guarantee the lower limit of the team's results, but there is no way to really reach the top, and LCK is also facing a new crisis, that is, the World Championship is a little too dependent on T1, and other teams seem to be unreliable, and once T1 also falls, LCK's public opinion evaluation will also decline.

Faker became the savior, and the LPL strength was not weak

Faker's greatness lies in the fact that as a veteran, he has always maintained a high level of competition in the World Series, has a good mentality and strong ability to read the game, and has always been strict with himself after many years of competition, and will not be like many other veterans, who will naturally play too stable or slack when they get older.

Normally, after many years of competition, a player will regress or decline in state, mentality and professional attitude, but Faker does not, we look at the current pattern of the LCK, if Faker has some slackness, there may be problems in the LCK region, it is no exaggeration to say that Faker has saved the LCK alone in the past two years and has become the savior of the division, without Faker, the LPL has won the championship last year.

We all say that the strength of the LPL region is not as good as the LCK, but in fact, from the perspective of the past two years, it is not that the LPL is inferior to the LCK, but that the LPL is not as good as the T1 where Faker is located.

In last year's World Championship, the three major teams in the LPL region advanced to the semi-finals, and LNG lost to Faker in the last battle.

And this year, the No. 1 seed HLE was defeated, DK was eliminated early, GEN almost overturned, and in the end, it had to rely on Faker.

The biggest gap between China and South Korea is on Faker

Personally, I think that after watching the game for so many years, we can clearly draw a conclusion that the main gap between the LPL and the LCK region is on Faker, because the LCK region has Faker, so the LCK region has become the world's No. 1 division, and if Faker's peak period is not so long, maybe the strength of the China and South Korea regions is close.

Faker's strongest trait is that he can be in good form at Worlds, and SKT or T1 have almost terrible Worlds consistency, which is a trait that no other team can have.

Because in the Worlds, you can encounter all kinds of difficulties, the team wants to win the championship, the version is suitable enough, the player can't have problems, and then you need to go through specific matches to break through the power limit.

The journey of the World Championship, the front is too smooth, there may be relaxation, too bumpy and not good, it is possible to be eliminated in advance, it can be said that any link problems may lead to failure, and this year's GEN is obviously a problem, the most terrible thing is that these problems are covered up in the front, GEN found that it cannot be solved.
