Recently, LoL officially launched a poll on its YouTube channel to select the best-performing region in the 2024 MSI. However, the results of the vote sparked widespread controversy. When the number of voters reached 32,000, the results showed that lck received 69% of the vote, while lpl only received 15% of the vote.
Many netizens expressed dissatisfaction with this result, because in fact, the 2024msi has not yet started, and it is still unknown who will perform better. However, some netizens raised an interesting point: judging from historical data, LPL's performance on MSI seems to be underestimated.
Since the MSI World Championship began in 2015, the LPL team has achieved many brilliant performances in it. As early as the first msi, the edg team won the championship, and then skt won two consecutive championships in 2016 and 2017. In 2018, rng once again won the championship for lpl, but in 2019, it was upset by g2, which showed the competitiveness of lpl. In 2020, due to the epidemic, only lpl and lck participated in the MSI World Championship, and the tes team successfully won the championship. In the next two years, rng and jdg won the championship trophies respectively, further proving the strong strength of lpl in msi.
Based on these data, it can be seen that since the beginning of the MSI World Championship, the LPL team has won 5 championships, far exceeding other competition regions. In comparison, LCK only has 2 championships and LEC has only 1 championship. Therefore, judging from historical data, LPL's performance on MSI is actually very good.
Therefore, it is obviously unfair to evaluate lpl's performance on 2024msi with only 15% of the vote. This also caused people to question and complain about the voting results. Perhaps this voting result is just a temporary emotional reaction, but it also reminds us that when paying attention to e-sports events, we need to more objectively analyze and evaluate the strength and performance of each competition region.
