Revealing “heavenly” about the process of training between LPL and LCK teams at Worlds 2024
At Worlds 2024 this time, Riot Games applied version 14.18 and it created a big problem for the tournament. It should be known that update 14.18 has a lot of changes compared to the version applied at the summer stage of regional tournaments. As a result, many LCK, LPL teams to small areas such as VCS, PCS … are quite “dim” about the meta of this version. Therefore, it leads to the situation that the teams both practice and learn each other's tactics to be able to play better in official matches.
In addition to banning Aurora when on the red team, the ban/choice plan of many teams is still quite “dim”
However, according to the sharing from the former coach EDG – Kenzhu, many LCK teams have taken advantage of this “chaos” when fighting to “play badly” of LPL representatives at Worlds 2024. Accordingly, LPL teams often choose to practice with LCK partner because they are quite close to each other to be able to own better training results. However, the LCK teams themselves have a move to hide their test options with extremely unusual options and make the LPL somewhat “tactical disorder”.
The former coach Kenzhu revealed that the LCK side was moving “badly”, causing many LPL teams to be “in the legal style”.
“To avoid revealing Meta for LPL teams, LCK teams often choose unusual generals to hide tactics. They do not even bother playing macro or occupying the map and rushing into fighting at any time. For LCK teams, this practice can make the opponent confused and prevent LPL on Meta, strong generals. Fake information or low -value options ” – Former coach EDG – Kenzhu revealed on live waves.
Difficulties are still waiting for the LPL representatives at Worlds 2024
Looking at the last match of the WBG, the audience can also feel that they are really “dedicated” because the ban/choice is quite confusing. Especially in game 1 when WBG offers a team that is too old and easy to catch cards with Renekton, Nidalee combines Lucian. As a result, they were completely defeated by FNC in this game and almost eliminated from the Swiss round of Worlds 2024.
WBG lost comprehensively to FNC in game 1 when their Renekton – Nidalee duo did not create a significant impact on the match.
Not stopping there, this “legal disorder” also shows the ability to learn and read the meta of the LPL coaches seems to be losing quite a lot compared to colleagues in the LCK. They are too dependent on training matches and data from there to give names that need to be prioritized when banned/selected. This has made LPL representatives like WBG or BLG falling into extremely difficult circumstances at Worlds 2024.
The coaches of the WBG and BLG are also not small in charge when these teams fall to the 2-2 branch
On the last competition of the Swiss round, the opponent of the LPL representatives were all uncomfortable names. With WBG, they have to play with an extremely unpredictable DK while BLG has a encounter with the home team of Worlds 2024 – G2. These are all strong teams, so the LPL representatives need to play very carefully if they do not want to be eliminated early from the tournament.
