The LPL Spring 2022 has passed the halfway mark, and so far, the strength of the teams following a lively transfer period at the end of the 2021 season has gradually been revealed. While the top teams maintain a stable position on the leaderboard, Weibo Gaming, Victory Five, and LNG Esports are showcasing the effectiveness of their clever transfer deals.
With a series of top players exhibiting varying forms in the recent phase of the season, although the 2022 Asian Games are still a bit away, many LPL fans are eager to find an ideal roster to prepare for the upcoming Asian Games to be held right in China. Surely, with League of Legends being contested for the first time for medals, the host nation will not want to lose to their “arch-rival” South Korea.
But which names are truly suitable to be included in the 2022 Asian Games roster, if we only consider performance up to now? Recently, 957 – the former star of Team WE shared his insights on the roster for the 2022 Asian Games. He believes that the 2021 World Champion Flandre is currently not in good form, so he chose Bin – a player once considered one of Suning’s weaknesses in the past for the top lane position.
In the mid lane, according to 957, is the most controversial area with currently 3 to 4 names that could take on the role. Leading the pack are Xiaohu and Knight, but while Xiaohu does not cause much controversy, Knight sometimes has fluctuating performance. Notably, Angel is also showing stability and improvement day by day. From being a weakness for SN/WBG, under the coaching of Easyhoon, Angel has shut down many famous mid laners in WBG’s unbeaten streak, such as Doinb, Rookie, and even Scout – the 2021 World Champion.
Next, according to 957, the AD position is hard to escape from Huanfeng or Light – 2 players currently flying high with their teams in LPL Spring 2022. However, since the bot lane duo requires synergy, 957 also left this position open, only briefly mentioning Ming and Meiko. In fact, the former WE star didn’t even bother to mention Uzi – the opponent he defeated back in the LPL Summer playoffs of 2017.
957’s roster will of course not be the final lineup, and the performance of the players is not guaranteed until the 2022 Asian Games officially begin. But from now on, fans can also refer to and have their own choices. As for the official roster, we may have to wait for the announcement of the selection process from the LPL organizers. This is because the timing of the 2022 Asian Games will almost coincide with the 2022 Worlds, which will certainly give both teams and players a headache.
