Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The final of the S14 World Championship will officially start tomorrow, and this long-awaited battle is sure everyone has been waiting for a long time, and the final result will also determine the future direction of the two regions.
And before the start of the final, there was another big event that caused heated discussions.
Generally speaking, in the last week of the World Championship, the two teams that advance to the finals will not be able to play the training match, and before the start of the semi-finals, the head of the GEN team released a dynamic, saying that all the training matches of S14 have ended, and thank everyone in the club for their efforts.
In fact, this confirms that before the start of the semi-finals, GEN has already ended all training matches, and it is predetermined that there will be no training matches even if he advances to the finals.
But in fact, the fact that you can't play a training match after reaching the finals is not absolute, the reason why you can't play a training match is that there is no team to make an appointment, but if there is a team willing to help, there will still be a training match, but generally the team will choose to rest after the World Championship.
To put it simply, T1 and BLG advanced to the finals and wanted to play a training match, but the other teams were rested, on the one hand, the two teams were not easy to ask the other teams to help, and the other teams also entered the rest period by default, but this time the situation was different for S14, and the commentator Monte revealed that G2 was helping T1 play a training match, and then T1 also confirmed the news.
The COO of T1 also revealed in an interview that there is a European team helping them play training matches, and G2 is helping them, and the reason behind it has also been made public by Monte, because of Red Bull's matchmaking, Red Bull said that if T1 wins the world championship, G2 will be given more bonuses.
Both T1 and G2 are sponsored by Red Bull, and there are some hidden bonus terms between the teams sponsored by Red Bull, and there is a reward policy for helping each other.
This can only be said to be the power of money, the size of the T1 team is really too big, they have spent the most expensive salary cap luxury tax in the industry to maintain this top-of-the-line lineup, and then the benefits are large enough to get help from training matches at critical moments, which is very important to them.
Although G2 is out of the round of 16 in this World Championship, from the current perspective, G2's hard power is actually very strong, and it has the strength of the top eight, and the fact that G2 helped T1 is definitely not good news for BLG.
At present, the BLG team is not favored in various voting links, including the voting session on the road, Bin only got 30% of the votes, if it is purely based on the performance of this World Championship, Bin's support rate should not be so low, but it is said that T1's popularity bonus is too high, and the votes in other positions, BLG loses more.
T1 has a training match to play, which can ensure that it has a good state, and on the BLG side, some viewers have noticed the players' Rank records and confirmed the news that BLG is also playing training matches.
It seems that BLG also has a training match opponent, but I don't know who it is, it may be that it has found a local team in Europe to help, and it must not be G2, because if G2 plays a training match with two teams at the same time, it is easy to have problems.
From this point of view, I personally think that the preparation before the T1 game is likely to be stronger than BLG, but there is a special situation, that is, if BLG's opponent in the training match is WBG, then in terms of the quality of the training match, BLG is not inferior to T1, but I don't know if WBG has returned to China or said to help in Europe.
In short, the stories and mysteries about these off-field games can only be revealed after the finals, and I hope that both teams can have good enough form at the beginning of this final to give a wonderful showdown to the audience.
