At the present time, a series of large and small tournaments in the world League of Legends have turned to the most important stage – the playoffs round. It can be said that the fruits of the whole season will only decide in a few matches of Bo 3, Bo 5. In particular, the most notable at the present time is probably LPL, LCK and VCS. The two “big” areas are always considered to be each other's direct competitors in international arenas. Meanwhile, VCS Spring 2024 is immersed in a negative crisis and people also want to see how legends or former stars will come back to play.
The large and small tournaments have almost entered the playoffs phase
However, when the tournament has not started, a part of LCK fans created an Elo -based power rankings for all teams in the areas of the world lmht. Notably in this ranking, the T1 was posted behind Gen.G and Bilibili Gaming. Meanwhile, VCS has a representative in the class … 41 is Team Secret and the defending champion of GAM ESPORTS, even at 51th class. And the top teams of VCS are also ranked behind many names that used to be “defeat” of VCS in recent tournaments such as Team Liquid or CBTC Flying Oyster. GAM also lost the 4th team of PCS.
The ranking of Korean netizens should be controversial when T1 ranked only 3 after both BlG or G2 Esports were ranked behind a series of LPL teams like LPD Gaming or Oh My God.
The defending champion of Worlds was ranked below for their defeated team
The post also made many LPL audiences annoyed even though in the top 10 there are 6 teams of LPL. Because, although it accounts for a large number, but in the top 5 there is only the remaining BlG and TES are 3 LCK teams. Not to mention, many people were surprised when T1 had just won the world champion but behind their defeat – BLG. Worth mentioning, the current BLG is not necessarily as powerful as BLG in 2023.
Notably, the position of the VCS teams is too low while PCS is too high
Top 5, all 3 teams are from LCK
Meanwhile, the assessment of VCS seems to be slightly superficial when PCS has never really passed the highest level League of Legends tournament in Vietnam. During the recent attendance of Worlds 2023, no PCS representative has overcome the starting round. Not to mention, it was CFO who was first reversed by the Whales team in the Worlds. Obviously, the ranking on VCS in a difference in terms of ranking (CFO 34, TS 41) is not really accurate.
GAM is the only representative of the group of small areas and Wildcard gives the right to go to Worlds 2023
Of course, this ranking is based on the Elo criteria, the VCS and LCK teams are facing a little disadvantage when their playoffs have not happened, or the number of LPL matches more than the number of matches at the LCK. And so, perhaps this chart is only for reference and it is impossible to accurately assess the situation of the current teams.
