Lunar New Year – The time of joy, reunion and relaxation after a long year of work, hard study. This is also a common holiday, not only in Vietnam but also in other countries like China and Korea. And perhaps many people also realized: Han – Trung is the two areas with the most powerful League of Legends in the world. And in recent years, Tet holiday has also become a problem that needs to be discussed carefully among teams, especially with names that are sublime in the domestic league.
LCK, LPL or VCS areas are in the Lunar New Year holiday
Concentration of concentration
The first and most obvious is that the players are in high form, the maximum focus for the matches and get used to the schedule of operation in a day when everything is unexpectedly turned upside down. They will have time to enjoy, do their own way without having to be too concerned about the results of the matches. This is a reasonable break time. But there is also one side that is the period of concentration, energy for their professional matches will be temporarily interrupted. In particular, for young players, this is more likely to happen after a year of hard work, they will probably want to make themselves comfortable in Tet days.

Stop all practice activities
In professional League of Legends, besides the rank, the Scrim sessions are also essential. Not to mention, there are also tactical analysis meetings, discussing the results of the Scrim session … and of course this cannot be done during Tet holiday. Therefore, the players will have a period of nearly half a month without touching League of Legends. Besides form, not catching up with the updates is also an unfavorable factor.
And this will affect the teams, especially small teams. Typically Fredit Brion in the spring of 2022. Before the Tet holiday, they only lost to the big teams and had quite good achievements with 2 wins – 4 losses (the losses were before T1, Gen.G, DRX and DK). But after returning, Bro received 4 losses and won only 1 match. Worth mentioning, Bro lost before weak opponents like LiiV Sandbox or competition like Kwangdong Freecs.

Feeling
Currently, the players are actively using the ranks to regain the feeling of competition. However, this will be hard to compare with the real matches or at least Scrim sessions that are familiar with the work of a professional player.
Players like Faker will use rank to maintain the feeling of competition
Conclude
Tet holiday is the necessary resting period but will be challenging. The teams themselves need to make reasonable decisions, balancing the time of the players. To maintain good results after a long break, time management and focus on career goals is very important in this period.
