After DWG just won the world championship of S 10, the LCK Division of South Korea officially announced the LCK Division with the victory of DWG, and the news of realizing the all-round alliance began from S 1 1 season. Frankly speaking, LCK is the last of the five major divisions to be fully allied. When LCK completes the alliance, it is actually good news for LPL division: although it may not be available in the future? Cheap? Han yuan, but for LPL local players, the chances of landing in LPL will greatly increase. In the future, LPL may have more and more classes in China. Who says LPL local players must be worse than LCK?
LCK is fully allied, but there are only ten teams.
After staying in LCK for two years, DWG once again brought the S champion back to South Korea, and the LCK Division was also the top of glory. Do you still remember the news that Fist and LCK jointly announced in the first half of 2020 that LCK will enter the franchise era from the season of S 1 1 and realize the complete alliance?
Immediately after LCK won the DWG championship, it was announced that ten teams had passed the audit. They are: DWG(ADE Sports), T 1(SK Telecom CS), GEN(Gen.G E-sports), DRX(DRX), AFs(AfreecaTV), KT(KT Sports), SB (Sandbox Game), DYN (Team Dynamics) and Hle (Hanwha).
The complete alliance of LCK not only has great influence on their own division, but also has great influence on LPL, LEC and LCS. Although there are also Koreans who help LEC and LCS, the people who go to those two places are basically old people, such as Bang and Huni. As for LPL, I used to be with LCK players, and it was hard for LPL coaches and brokers to refuse, and the sky-high salary went to LCK for gold. After the formal alliance of LCK, this has been difficult to achieve. With the soaring income of LCK division, it is estimated that it will be much more difficult for LPL team to buy people in LCK. This is actually a good thing for LPL. After all, not every Korean aid is like Theshy, Rookie and Doinb. You know what I mean, right?
Friends who are familiar with League of Legends know that since the League was opened in LPL Division, we have not only cancelled the promotion and demotion system, but also maintained the speed of continuous and benign expansion of the number of teams in LPL Division. Moreover, after the league, LPL also successfully won two S champions, and also used these two champions to expand its number of S champions to four.
In S 1 1 season, LCK achieved a complete alliance, which directly means that they also canceled the promotion and demotion system and fear of promotion and demotion. LCK may be able to put aside concerns, put down some overly stable operating systems, and slightly improve the rhythm and bloodiness of some games. Just like LPL, it was only after the alliance that LPL greatly improved its combat effectiveness. Do you think the alliance is good or bad for LCK?
