Does the decline in LPL popularity have anything to do with TheShy?
Preface
It has been 10 years since the birth of the LPL League, and many LPL viewers regard the LPL League as a part of their lives, and the LPL League has not disappointed the audience's expectations of him.
However, with the four World Championship teams of the LPL League last year being beaten by the T1 team to 1/11, the attention of LPL audiences to the LPL League has declined sharply, which eventually led to many veterans in LPL choosing to retire or give up playing, for example, LPL's most well-known top laner TheShy and AD player UZI have chosen to rest in the new season, and even many viewers think that the current decline in popularity of the LPL League is related to TheShy and Uzi not playing.
The decline in the popularity of the LPL league is too exaggerated
As the most popular e-sports competition in China, each LPL game in previous years will attract a large number of LPL audience discussions and attention, but the popularity of this year's LPL league can be said to have declined seriously compared with previous years, for example, in previous years, the WBG team played the LNG team, and the number of live VIPs was at least 20,000+, but now the live broadcast VIPs of the WBG team and the LNG team are only about 6000+.
In addition to the decline in the popularity of live broadcasts, the number of viewers of LPL's live broadcast videos is also much worse than before, for example, in the past, the game videos of LPL's most popular teams could successfully break several million, but now the most popular TES team has not yet exceeded one million viewers of the game videos of BLG teams.
As the number of LPL viewers gets smaller and smaller, many LPL viewers also blame TheShy and Uzi's non-playing matches due to the low popularity of the live broadcast, many viewers think that if TheShy and Uzi can continue to play, then the popularity of the LPL game will not decline so seriously, after all, Uzi and TheShy have their own game effects, and many viewers admit that they don't play games, but they will watch TheShy and Uzi's games.
The decline in popularity has nothing to do with TheShy and Uzi?
After the LPL audience lamented that the decline in the popularity of the LPL game was related to TheShy and Uzi's lack of play, the LPL champion jungler Ning admitted in the live broadcast that the decline in the popularity of the LPL league had nothing to do with TheShy and Uzi, Ning said in the live broadcast: The biggest reason why no one is watching the LPL league now is that the LPL game is too boring, there are few heads in a game, and all the players on both sides develop each other in the early stage, and they will never hit anyone if they can make up for the troops.
In addition to Ning publicly complaining that LPL games are boring, LPL's well-known anchor Foot God also lamented during the live broadcast that today's LPL league is really not as good as LCK, and Foot God gave an example in the live broadcast that each game in the LCK division can explode 20+ heads, on the other hand, each game in the LPL league not only plays for a long time, but also rarely appears in the appearance of human heads, and the foot god live broadcast frankly said that as long as you watch more LCK games, then you can find that it is normal for the popularity of LPL games to decline.
summary
After watching the live broadcast of Ning and the foot god, I personally do feel that the biggest reason for the decline in the popularity of the LPL league today has nothing to do with TheShy and Uzi, that is, the current game of the LPL league has no passion at all, but it makes the audience want to sleep, if the teams do not fight with each other, it is okay to rely on team operation to win, but there are too many teams in the LPL league that do not operate, it seems that the LPL game is very boring.
