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

The final of the S14 World Championship is about to start, and everyone is waiting for such a fateful battle to begin, and it is no exaggeration to say that this game can indeed determine the future direction of the two major regions.

During this period, Ruler also recorded a show with Wolf and other professional players, chatting about his views on the S14 finals.

Hopefully T1 wins, but not to the league

Ruler talked about a very interesting point when talking about the S14 World Finals, when asked which team he thinks can win in the finals, Ruler replied like this: From an emotional point of view, I would prefer the T1 team to win, but the current situation in LPL is not optimistic, if it is for the overall development and future of the industry, it may be more beneficial for BLG to win the championship.

Wolf asked Ruler what the LPL was like, and Ruler said that this season, the audience is a little different from last season, and that's his personal experience.

To put it simply, the number of viewers in the LPL division this year is decreasing, and the popularity is not as hot as before.

This point of view has also caused heated discussions, first of all, Ruler's expression of the hope that T1 will win the championship, many viewers expressed doubts that Ruler's inner thoughts may not be like this, but as a Korean player, he still has to support T1 to win the championship on this occasion.

Ruler had previously won the S7 World Championship, and since then, teammates CuVee and Ambition have expressed similar sentiments – they want all LCK teams except GEN to lose in Worlds.

The LPL needs a champion to save the division

Of course, Ruler may have a deeper sense of regional honor in his personality than his teammates, so he hopes that T1 can win the championship, and then it is about the future development of the league, Ruler feels that if BLG wins the championship, it will have a positive impact on the future development of e-sports, and if T1 wins the championship, LPL may have a big problem.

This is something that many viewers can agree with, especially from the perspective of LPL audiences, the feeling is very obvious, this year's LPL has ushered in the freezing point of historical popularity, the audience's enthusiasm for watching the game has been greatly reduced, and the players' salaries are also decreasing, and then the club is no longer willing to spend a lot of money to invest in the team, and many difficulties have led to a large decline in the popularity of LPL.

And in this case, if BLG can win the championship, the LPL will indeed get better, at least the audience will not feel that the League of Legends has come to an end, because if BLG loses, the gap between the LPL and the LCK region will only get bigger and bigger in the future.

Once it is said that the gap between the regions will become larger, the suspense of the World Championship will definitely become smaller, and the dominance of the LCK will lead to a decline in the ratings and popularity of the World Championship, not only the LPL, but also the basic World Championship of Riot will gradually decline over time.

The major clubs of the LPL are waiting for the championship

At present, the major clubs of the LPL, in fact, are waiting for the final championship, if BLG can win the championship, then many LPL clubs will choose to increase investment, next year's World Championship will be held in China, which is very important, if you can win the championship next year, the heat will inevitably rise, if you fail, even if you are at home next year, everyone's enthusiasm will not be so high.

But from another point of view, I personally think that whether BLG can win the championship this year is actually more affected by the LPL region, and the impact on the Riot S event will not be so great for the time being, and other divisions will operate as usual, and the European and American divisions have already reached the freezing point of popularity, but they will continue to operate as usual, it depends on whether LPL will follow the old path of Europe and the United States.

Personally, I think it doesn't matter who wins the championship from the perspective of Riot, Riot has given a new plan in advance for next year's event reform, adding a third global BP world event, and the leagues of each major region are also reformed, Riot is still very confident about next year, but the LPL side is a little unsupportable, and what can't hold up is the volume of being a top region.

In fact, the key point is still our own side of the LPL division, BLG does not win the championship, it is unlikely to win the championship in the future, in fact, this point of view is not all right, it can only be said that if we don't win the championship this year, there will indeed be fewer people watching LPL next year.
