Only less than 24 hours left, the Esports World Cup 2024 – is considered the “World Cup of Esports Village” for the first time will officially start. Particularly for League of Legends, this tournament will gather 8 teams from 4 Major areas and all these 8 names have participated in MSI 2024. Not expanding the group to small areas and Wildcard is probably part of the reason for the time factor. And the rest, is that perhaps BTC also wants to ensure the names with the highest attraction in this young tournament to create an initial impression on expertise and coverage.
EWC 2024 is causing much controversy
However, perhaps due to the newly organized tournament and there are still many shortcomings, there have been many problems and situations “bad crying and laughing”. Specifically, in a recent clip, the audience discovered an extremely interesting detail of T1. Accordingly, since the name of SKT T1 has been changed to T1, this team has many titles, can be said to be the most rich name of League of Legends. But when introducing T1, the clip is only 2 words, “4 World Championships” and “Owning Faker”.
The introduction is brief but the “quality” of BTC EWC about T1
However, according to the League of Legends community, indeed possessing Faker is the biggest achievement of SKT T1/T1. And notes like this is only aimed at emphasizing the influence of Faker.
Faker's influence is not to be discussed
In addition, EWC was “stoned” fiercely because of the design of the championship trophy in the style of “drowning” the defeated teams. According to information, the participating teams will be given a key with information about their team. However, when a team fails, their key will be recovered and replaced by a token that records achievements. But, this key will then be thinly crushed and the winner of the chosen to engrave into the championship trophy.
The design of the EWC 2024 championship trophy is controversial when the decoration will include the key of the defeated teams attached to the base.
According to some opinions, this is a somewhat disregard for generals – something unnecessary in professional sports, including traditional or electronic sports.
Many viewers expressed their frustration with the design of a sporty trophy
Not to mention, in the introduction, the EWC 2024 “forgot” the teams from LPL and LCS, while LCK was 2 capacity, including Gen.G and T1. These incidents are still controversial in the League of Legends community and the BTC EWC has no new move.
