At this moment, the aftershocks of the World Championship (2022) are gradually fading. However, for the LPL region, the recent tournament has truly been a source of embarrassment. This region sent what were considered the strongest representatives for many years to the 2022 World Championship, but their last hope, JD Gaming (JDG), could not reach the finals. Even TOP Esports, the runner-up of LPL Summer 2022, was eliminated from the Group Stage.
Many experts and former players have offered their opinions and analyses to explain the poor performance of LPL teams at the 2022 World Championship. Every viewpoint and reason has merit and has received considerable agreement from the audience in the region. Recently, Miller, a very famous commentator in the LPL region, also shared his personal perspective on the results of these regional representatives.
Specifically, the commentator stated: “LPL has not focused on training talent like LCK. In fact, players here no longer have the opportunity to train on the LCK server and must play on the LPL super server. This is a significant detriment to young players who lack a quality environment to hone their skills.”
Furthermore, commentator Miller pointed out another factor stemming from the players competing at the 2022 World Championship. He stated: “The fighting spirit of the players is no longer there. They fear losing and only play in their own way. They know that with each defeat, pressure from public opinion and the coaching staff will fall on them. Therefore, they just want to maintain good stats and no longer wish to fight to win.”
Miller’s opinions have also garnered much agreement from the LPL audience. In reality, the pressure from public opinion in this region on the teams is immense. Even experts and former players admit that this factor has stifled LPL representatives. However, once you become a professional player, overcoming pressure is essential to achieve glory.
