In recent seasons, LPL is gradually losing its position, not only in the big tournaments before the “great rival” LCK but this area is also less attractive. Even at the “home field”, the matches of the LPL main tournament could not be compared with the number of viewers and the coverage of “Legend Cup” – a spontaneous tournament, gathering the “old generals” of League of Legends. There are many reasons but the important reason is often mentioned as the professional level of the tournament. Even, a player who was once considered the “pride” of LPL has now been clear.
LPL is considered to be a serious decline in both professional and attractive
That player is none other than Xiaohu. Once considered an irreplaceable pillar at the “Royal Army” Royal Never Give Up, then one of the most important names at Weibo Gaming, but Xiaohu is now just disappointment. In 2023, he and Thery brought the WBG to the final of Worlds 2023. However, until now, no one realized “Tieu Tiger” once raged at LPL, any rafters can play.
Xiaohu owns a series of extremely inferior and even inferior rookies when he is at the end or the penultimate.
Summer 2023 is becoming a “nightmare” of Xiaohu. Up to now, Xiaohu has not had any MVP while having 7 mid lines achieved this title when confronting him. In addition, Xiaohu was also defeated the third most tournament (35 times). The contributions of “small tigers” are extremely small: 523 damage/minute (rank 17), 12754 gold/game (rank 17), 410 gold/minute (14th), and the KDA index is 2.89 (class 15). For those who do not know, the summer LPL 2024 has 17 teams attending. It means that the parameters of Xiaohu are at the bottom of the table or near the end.
Perhaps Fearless Draft is too strange to Xiaohu or himself has gradually passed the peak
Xiaohu's performance went down and dragged the achievements of WBG to “touch the bottom”. The WBG is currently at the penultimate of its group in the Summer Placements and is likely to fall into Group B (considered a gathering of weak teams). However, this can also be considered an opportunity for “Tieu Ho” and his teammates to improve their competition at the summer LPL 2024 this time. Of course, provided that they could “awaken” before it was too late.
