A TES shattered the backbone of the LPL? This year may be the last time to charge the MSI and S races

TES-induced shocks

TES's humiliating performance at the Pioneer Tournament continues to cause a series of shocks. In addition to their own manager saying that he would resign if he was not ashamed, BLG players also broke the news that the club began to tighten the training strategy, and there were higher clear requirements for the daily training volume of players. Some of the teams that are still capable have also made some changes to their lineup before the start of the second stage. In the past few years, the popularity has plummeted, sponsors have plummeted, and big capital has retreated, as if it has returned to the dark years of ten years ago. Many people prefer to believe that it's just TES's own problem, rather than that the LPL as a whole is hopelessly rotten to the point of Division 5. Is this really the case?

Too much rotten

Even if it has changed from 17 teams to 16, there are still too many bad things in the LPL. There are only two or three teams that are really competitive, and the scale is at least half cut in half and there are only about 8-10 teams. As a result, in the past few years, this number has been directly doubled due to the expansion brought about by the championship ascension. The direct impact of having a lot of bad teams is that there are too many inferior games, and South Korea also has this kind of game that most people don't bother to watch, but it only accounts for a small part of the 10 teams after all. With at least half of the teams having good strength, the LCK's league has something to watch almost every day. And this year's matchup between the four teams of HLE, T1, GenG and DK has attracted the attention of global audiences.

There are too few newcomers

The LPL is stricter than other regions in terms of age restrictions, and because the miasma of the minor league has basically come to an end, there is no strong hematopoietic ability at all, resulting in very few capable newcomers now. On the other hand, the age line of the youngest professional player has been raised to 07! There are also a lot of active players between 04 and 06, for example, Zeus is 04, Vladi is 05, Caliste is 06, and HongQ is 07. And our division is proud, and Creme, who thinks he is the first midlaner in the LPL, is still in 03. Not only is the ability not good, but this age is not expected to be in the future at all.

Someone told such a horror story after the Pioneer Game, after the Three Saints and One Emperor and the Left Hand, the LPL midlaner representatives in the next few years will be Shanks, Creme, Care, Haichao, Tangyuan and Little Frog. It's a horror story!This is behind one more than one heavyweight. There is no hope in sight now, and it seems that there is no hope in the future. I finally understood why Miller said in his post-game speech that "this year is the year with the best chance, because the future will only be harder".

Who will save the LPL?

If we only look at this year, maybe we can only pin our hopes on BLG. However, after sending Xun away, the team seems to have plummeted in terms of team atmosphere, especially in key games. On the other side of the AL, the first stage looks strong, but in the face of TES who has not even played 5 rounds, especially Tarzan, who makes old mistakes when it comes to important moments, can the LPL region really count on such a team? Other JDGs and WBGs also have their own problems, and if BLG can't do it, then this year is probably a season that I hope to dream of returning to S5.
