Doinb after Grand Finals: With BLG failing to win, you wouldn't be able to recognise at least 80% of the players from LPL team roster next year.

I wonder if this is partly why the music video this year didn’t focus at all on T1 destroying the entire LPL in 2023. I thought that entire storyline of “T1 vs the LPL” would be the focus, but riot seemed to ignore it completely.

If they’re trying to make sure LPL morale stays up, that would explain a lot

I can read Chinese, so I can tell you that this year's loss is completely different from the past. Usually, people will be mad and vent out their frustration, but most just want to unfollow and leave league entirely out their lives.

Its the repercussions of 3 years Worlds draught since 2021. All LPL viewers care is to dominate the international scenes, and this year, another hype of full Chinese roster to win it all brings everything to a point of no return. And with salary cap implementing next year in LPL, everything kinda makes sense.

It's pretty obvious if you think about it. China has a massive population, nearly 2 1.4 billion, stadiums for teams across the country, massive support, financial backing, imports, etc -- and yet they can't beat South Korea, a relatively small geographical area. Sure, esports has been big in Korea, but there's national pride on the line as China is a global superpower. It's like the US being beaten by Mexico for three years in a row, for lack of a better analogy. The venture capitalists are whimsical and can get fed up at a moments notice

It's an old ass video game, people are just generally losing interest.

Yeah, it's a video game that's well past its expiration date.

The game has more addicted to playing it than those that actually enjoy playing it.

I follow pro play in highlights and threads, but haven't watched a full match in like 5 years and watch less and less vods every year.

Why do league players think a game should last forever?
