Two LPL superstars “forget” an important thing at Worlds 2024
Normally, because Riot's international tournaments take a maximum of about 1 month, the teams will have to try to take advantage of all the time possible to practice preparing for matches. However, during this time, Riot will also release updates for League of Legends and usually they will not be the version used in the tournament, for example, at the present is Worlds 2024.
In tournaments like Worlds, Riot always has a special server for players to practice the version for the tournament while Riot updates the new version for the game
However, the two superstars of LPL are Knight (Bilibili Gaming) and Jackkeylove (Top Esports) that makes the audience “give up” because they do not know this basic element. Specifically, recently, the League of Legends community has promptly captured the conversation between the two players and Knight and Jackkeylove, which was surprised when they were still able to play the version that was applying to Worlds 2024 while Riot has updated another version.
Knight and Jackkeylove were extremely surprised to know that there were super servers to play the version that was applying to Worlds 2024 even though they have been playing for a long time.
Worth mentioning, when the two players discovered this, the tournament went half the journey. Meanwhile, according to the LPL audience, this is something that JackkeyLove and Knight should have known because they have almost “bottle face” in the highest level international tournament in this League of Legends. A few audience comments:
– “Receive a lot of money, hit a lot so that they are just like the first time to attend Worlds?”
– “Nobody tells them at training?”
Both superstars are not too good at Worlds 2024
Both Knight and Jackkeylove and their teams are not having good achievements at Worlds 2024. While Jackkeylove's TES is a bit better, because of the first victory over T1, until now, Knight's BlG is falling into a dangerous group when losing 2 consecutive games. Even now they have passed the Swiss round with a 3-2 record, it is still easy to meet heavy opponents as Gen.G or recovery of Esports in the quarterfinals. And these are all names that show a perfect Swiss round journey with 3 wins. In particular, Gen.G also defeated the convincing HLE.
Of the two names, Knight is with the BlG that has not been really good at this year's Worlds
Knight has not yet shown that he has improved at all since Worlds 2023 and if the “LPL knight” still plays as the current, the possibility of BlG still empty in this year's tournament is completely feasible, especially when Gen.G is also much stronger than last year.
