We really don’t know if we’re talking about a small earthquake or a scroll in the League of Legends competitive scene. Although lately Chinese fans have been terrified of missing out on the next one in the region. MSIThey can now breathe a sigh of relief due to the corona virus pandemic. Confirmed that China will participate in the competition (your Or RNG) And finally it works very well! Some think it’s give preference compared to other competitors. This is why Riot Games’ decision promises to be talked about, especially if the LPL still wins the competition!
China will play MSI online
Pandemic coronavirus The world is not completely over and there are still some restrictions in China. Consequently, LPL players will not be able to travel to MSI, which will be in Busan (South Korea) this year. Between the spring playoffs postponed due to the virus, the summer update and also the Asian Games, the schedule is really tight. In addition to the risks of contamination, there are first of all strict rules of quarantine and isolation.
Not seeing China at MSI would be a shame for the competition as well as for the stats. China won the last World Cup and is one of the two favorites, along with South Korea. It also has a large audience… so Riot Games decided that Chinese players could participate in the online tournament. they will either play dolls houseor Shanghai LPL Arena. This is good news for the beauty of sport and competition.
Why do some talk about the advantages of China?
The discussion is that Riot Games has a delay tool To soften the ping of players. It won’t be there the Chinese will have it 35 pings. But players traveling to Busan would also have 35 points to keep the competition fair… but they should have had near-perfect connections. South Korea regularly best internet network In the world. On paper, it’s fair because everything is in the same boat. But in reality, it’s a bit constipating, the teams that will be there will not be able to benefit from optimal connectivity. This is potentially awkward for Koreans on T1 who aren’t used to playing with 35 ping (6 ping solo Q, 0 ping on stage). 35 is fine for a European soloQ player. But trust us: a pro player sees and feels the difference! This vehicle was used in the 2020 mid-season coupe. But at that time the Chinese and Koreans were playing from both houses and there was no host city.
This is another topic that is somewhat controversial. MSI regularly changes its location and dishonest For the first time in his life, he will live at home with the public in a major international tournament. At home, he and his team will receive great positive energy. The other opponents (G2, PSG Talon…) will play outside and can intimidate and Stressful. “Chinese players will play peacefully at home and will not be injured.”home treatment“Korean fans. Imagine if Riot Games accidentally let Chinese fans into the LPL Arena in Shanghai… and finally, let’s talk about the lawsuit. Vietnamese. They missed 2 Worlds and 1 MSI… harder still, the teams VCS He was never treated with such privilege.
