Over the past years, Riot Games has actively developed and released many games in different genres. Products like Valorant, legend Runeterra … all leave many good impressions with the gaming community. Therefore, new game projects from Riot are always interested in the community.
Riot's games (whether released or not) have received great attention from the community
Among them, the Project L game (temporary name) of the antagonistic genre also received much attention from the community. This game once impressed when being introduced to have an extremely professional and experienced development team. Moreover, Project L's 2×2 team mechanism promises to also bring an interesting game for antagonistic games.
Project l has attracted a lot of attention thanks to the interesting 2×2 team mechanism
And after many years of development, Project L was finally announced by Riot Games. Specifically, in the evening of February 22 (Vietnam time), Riot revealed that Project L will have the official name of 2xko. Not stopping there, this video also introduces the next character to appear in the game that is the Water Spirit – Illaoi.
Riot recently announced the official name of Project L is 2xko
In addition, Illaoi is also confirmed to join this game
However, the reaction of the gaming community about this new name is not positive at all. From the comments of YouTube, Twitter to the Reddit forum, the name of 2xko is considered extremely bad and not equal to the Project L. Many people even ask a big question about the decision to use this name of Riot.
Many gamers frankly commented that: “Project l is a much better name, true to the nature of the fighting game. And the name 2xko sounds like being inexperienced by those who are inexperienced.”
BLV Clement commented: “2xko must be the most confusing name for an video game, especially with the Chinese market. It is not easy to hear, easy to remember as theCC, League of Legends”
A gamer on the Reddit forum is quite annoyed: “It's hard to believe that someone is paid to think of this name (2xko) and the leader in Riot accept it”
If you look at the antagonistic game line, the names of the games are somewhat expressing strong, urging gamers to compete with each other. The names that have become legends like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter are a typical example of this. However, the name 2xko used by Riot seems to not evoke the strength, the “Italian war” needed of a fighting game.
The names of antagonistic games often show strong as the nature of the game
Naturally, 2xko or before that Project L has not been officially released, so Riot can completely make changes. Hopefully Riot Games will listen to the opinions from the community and find a more appropriate name for its super antagonistic product.
