Former World Worlds revealed the reason for the “downhill” LPL
Since EDG won the World Championship 2021, LPL representatives have continuously received defeats to the LCK teams and missed this noble title. If the story only stops at 1-2 tournaments or season, fans can use the cause of the team to explain. However, with the LPL that has been failed for 3 consecutive years in Worlds (2022-2024), the cause of this “downhill” is much bigger than that. And according to the sharing from the former World World King 2018 – Ning, the reason for this is that LPL is lacking young stars.
Former King of Worlds 2018 – Ning thinks that the excessive comfort of the current young player in LPL makes them not have enough motivation to rise to the superstar.
“The current professional LoL environment in LPL makes the player too comfortable, especially new people. When I was a player, I only had a way to go to win the title. Any children are excellent.” – Ning shared on live waves.
After the generation of Bin, Knight … LPL has not found “new stars”
LPL audience also agreed with the former World World
As soon as Ning's sharing was widely shared, it received a small agreement from the LPL audience. The reason is also quite understandable when the top teams in LPL in recent years rarely launch a young star notable and achieve success. Even the team is considered the new hope of LPL in the 2025 season – IG also owns the names that have become famous, not introducing any young talent.
“I remember once Uzi said that in 2013, he had to take the train for more than 20 hours to come to the cramped and crowded training place. At one time, 5 people had to sleep on that bed.
“Before the LPL was established, Kid and a few other players set up a team. At that time, the 5 of them had to live crowded in a small motel room and play at the server Na. The money they earned was just enough to cover life” – another player revealed that the gamer revealed that
“In the past, you have to win or get good results to have food, so they practice more seriously and harder” – another gamer agreed
Indeed, in recent years, the LPL area has not yet been launched by any young star really excellent and left a bold impression. The players who have been considered “young talents” like Knight or Bin are now all famous stars and the LPL area has not shown signs of owning a new player class. A lot of hope has been placed in JDG's younger player, but this guy has “sinked” in the 2024 season and recently broke up with this team.

The more dangerous thing for LPL is that the LCK opponent is superior in the ability to train talent. In addition to a successful generation of T1, other teams like DK or Gen.G also tried to put in the squad of quality young players and helped LCK continuously develop in the upward trend. If the LPL does not solve the young training problem, it is not surprising by LCK representatives such as MSI or Worlds in the future.
