Every year after the end of the world and before the start of the Spring Split, it's a time for League of Legends pros to relax. During the period, there will be many entertainment events, including all-stars, to relax the nerves of the players. At present, the Demacia Cup, which is a large-scale training in the LPL region, is underway, and the LCK region is preparing for the preseason schedule.
However, compared with previous years, this year's LCK official adopted a more program-effective competition method to allow star players to find a more suitable stage for themselves - players in the same position to form a team.
Zeus, Oner, Faker, Deft, and Keria are allowed to team up with players from the current LCK squad in the same position as them for the preseason game that starts on January 9. This way of teaming up can not only stimulate everyone's competitiveness, but also balance the combat power of each team. (T1: Five people form a team again, and others don't have to fight)
In the end, in the way of "serpentine selection", the list of personnel in each position has been decided. The specific lineup is:
上单队:Zeus-Dudu-Rascal-Kiin-DnDn
打野队:Oner-Peanut-Sylvie-Lucid-Gideon
中单队:Faker-Chovy-Karis-BDD-Clozer
AD队：Deft-Aiming-Gumayusi-Viper-Peyz
辅助队:Keria-BeryL-Execute-Andil-Pleata
Although the competition is still in the preparation stage, the smell of gunpowder among the players has already risen. After all, this is not just a fun match, in a way, it also represents a group of players in which position, a group of people who are more talented in the game.
The LCK region has always been known as the "mid-laner cancer" region, and mid-laner players have always been regarded as the core of the team. In the minds of some Korean audiences, they even think that players in other positions will be eliminated after they can't play the mid laner. Taking this opportunity, players from different positions were finally able to compete face-to-face.
It's not clear what the LCK players usually think, but after the selection was over, the captains representing each position expressed their attitude. Zues admitted: "The top list is always neglected, and I want to improve the reputation of the top list. I have the mentality of "just beat the mid-laner team", and we will try to beat the mid-laner team. ”
In addition, Oner said that the jungler team would not lose to the AD team, Keria thought he could win the jungler team and the AD team, and only Deft, the captain of the AD team, did not show a certain determination to win a certain position. As for Faker, the captain of the mid laner team, who is considered to be the most talented, he jokingly said, "We're here to play." "This may be the unique introverted nature of a veteran player who has debuted for many years.
Considering various factors, the top and middle laners are indeed the most likely to win. Because as long as you can grasp the initiative in the right line, it is easy to establish an advantage in the early stage. On the contrary, AD players are usually Xi to pairing, and the heroes they usually use are relatively fixed, and suddenly start "1v1 man fights", and the pressure is still relatively large.
Of course, League of Legends is a team game after all, and the cooperation between players is especially important. The confrontation between players in the same position is not only to see who can play the strong point, but also to maintain the lower limit of the performance of the other four positions.
I don't know which team you are more optimistic about in the same position matchup in the LCK preseason?
