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

In the final of the S14 World Championship that ended in the early hours of this morning, T1 defeated BLG in the deciding game and successfully defended the world championship of the S competition, and the audience once again witnessed a new historic moment.

It's just that this historic moment is painful for LPL audiences.

LOL ushered in the finale, and Faker spoke emotionally

After the end of this T1 and BLG game, LOL has completely ushered in the finale at the e-sports level, and the Faker player, as the first person in the history of League of Legends, has personally played this game to the clearance and played a finale.

The future e-sports arena will inevitably be a situation where LCK is dominant, LPL has experienced eleven years of reincarnation, eleven years ago chaos first opened, the big demon king was born, and LPL was easily crushed in ancient times.

Eleven years later, the LPL has experienced a rise, and after reaching the top, it fell into the trough again, and it was the same opponent again, such an ending means the end for many people, and they are ready to say their final goodbyes.

It can be said that Faker players have single-handedly raised the historical status of the entire LCK region, and Faker's honors and achievements can even be independent of the LPL and LCK regions.

After the competition, Faker also spoke emotionally in the interview session: Today we won the championship, and I hope that many players can see us win the championship and create their own lives like me.

The LPL dream shattered London, and the audience in the competition area was completely dead

Faker also said before the game that if this fifth championship is won, he wants to dedicate it to all fans and players who love League of Legends, in fact, behind this sentence is also a kind of fan operation carried out by T1 around the world, T1 has now become the most popular team in the world, and the number of fans who support T1 on the spot at the London venue shows an overwhelming advantage.

It is no exaggeration to say that Riot's future in the esports arena needs to be maintained by Faker, and in the future, Faker should be more involved in the global fan operation process, as much as possible to increase the revenue of T1 clubs, and at the same time bring more substantial data improvements to Riot.

In contrast, the LPL division is completely moving towards a new dark era, the so-called no hope, no disappointment, and no despair, this time BLG is coming with the name of the all-Chinese class, shouldering the mission of saving the LPL division, eleven years of fateful battle, so that countless viewers watched the live broadcast with great expectations.

As a result, the LPL finally shattered its dream in London, and the ups and downs of the game process were also unbearable for the LPL audience.

The LPL base collapsed, which is very different from the S7

In fact, a similar script happened seven years ago, when the World Championship was held in China, the two major LPL teams advanced to the semifinals, but in the end they failed to advance to the finals, and the Bird's Nest staged an LCK regional battle, when everyone felt that everything was over after RNG lost to T1, and a large number of viewers bluntly said that they wanted to leave and no longer watch the game.

But after that, the LPL ushered in its own peak, but today's situation is completely different from seven years ago, when the LPL's fundamentals were still solid, and it was still on the rise, and I personally think that the number of talents in the LPL division was more than that of the LCK, even if some viewers were disappointed and quit, the number of spectators was still very large.

I still remember the tsunami-like cheers when the World Championship was held in China, but now the basic plate of the LPL has completely collapsed, and the public opinion environment in the competition area has become very bad.

Even if the competition system is played out next year, it will be difficult for the audience to be interested, and the ratings of Riot's S match will definitely be very high, but the LPL league is really going to decline.
