The shirt cheering at Worlds 2024 controversial LPL
Every year, Worlds is always a tournament that attracts a lot of attention from League of Legends gamers when this is where many top teams compete to win the title of World Championship. Therefore, in each area, they have their own ways to support the spirit and cheer on the “pet” teams to fight in this tournament. With LPL, this tournament often creates special shirts for Worlds with meaningful messages to cheer the players' spirit.
The World Cheers Cheer 2024 has recently been officially announced after 4 representatives of LPL were determined
And before the 2024 Worlds, the LPL also launched a new shirt with the same purpose. However, this shirt has immediately become the focus of attention when printing a very controversial message. Specifically, the instructions are printed on the inside of the shirt with the words “If you lose, do not worry too much”. This message was immediately criticized for making the spirit of competition, the excitement of the players and fans decreased seriously for mentioning defeat before Worlds 2024.
The LPL audience could not help but “speechless” with the new shirt: “The small user manual in the inside of the shirt has written” If you lose the game, do not worry too much “.
LPL audience is extremely angry about Worlds 2024
Not stopping at the message, the selling price of this shirt also made fans not from discontent. Accordingly, the Worlds Cheering Austria 2024 of the LPL area is sold for 1999 yuan (about 7 million VND). This is considered an expensive price for a coat and has been “stoned” by the gaming community. Many people also say frankly that this shirt is “both ugly and expensive” and will not spend money to buy.
“After seeing the price, I feel that this shirt is even worse. It is really ugly and expensive” – a gamer frankly shared
“I will not want to wear it even when I was given. It was really angry” – another player agreed
A few gamers also have a sarcasm about this shirt: “If the LPL teams lose, we simply take off this shirt and use it like a flag.”
In recent years, there is a hypothesis in the community that the teams with black uniforms will win the retail Worlds, the team with white shirts will win the even year. This comes from the fact that teams like DWG (2020) and Drx (2022) both crowned the championship with white uniforms. Meanwhile, EDG (2021) and T1 (2023) won the next black shirt with a unique black shirt. Perhaps this is the reason why the new LPL creates a white Worlds Cheering product to aim for the “spiritual” element in the upcoming tournament.

However, the design of this shirt itself is too simple when there are only a few red borders combined with the sponsor logo and teams. Obviously, this simple design is not enough to convince many gamers to spend up to 1999 yuan (about 7 million VND) to buy the above product.
Moreover, printing the sentence “If you lose the game, do not worry” on this model is also a very confusing decision from the LPL. If they want to use the “spiritual” element with a white shirt, it must be known that mentioning the word “defeat” or “losing” in front of a big tournament like Worlds 2024 is very unable to do. Combined with the “heavenly” price, the LPL audience community has a reason to “stoned” this shirt as soon as it debuted.
Say no more, the LPL side has a “self -squeeze” phase right in the “spiritual” factor
The 2024 season can be said to be an extremely difficult time of the LPL area. From the number of followers of this tournament decreased to defeat at the home field of BLG at MSI 2024. And “drama” related to the above -mentioned Worlds Cheering shirt, continued to extend the sad events of the LPL area. Perhaps if LPL representatives continue to fail at the upcoming Worlds 2024, this will likely become the “disaster” season of this area.
