As the two main divisions of League of Legends, LPL and LCK, begin their playoff journey, discussions about the strength of each team in the S12 season have gradually begun. Objectively speaking, compared to the S11 season, the LPL division is more polarized. There is a strength gap between the top-ranked "Four Emperors" and other teams, especially after TES showed the strongest dominance in team history in the summer split. widening the strength gap with other teams. The LCK division seems to have fallen into a "dark age" after experiencing the highlights after the spring split. Teams such as T1 and DK have experienced significant declines. GENG, as the new king of the regular season, has serious aging problems. The LEC division only entered the playoffs at the end of August, and there are currently no top-tier teams. Therefore, it seems that the LPL division has the best chance of winning the championship this year.
Just as the LPL playoffs started, a " LOL Team Comprehensive Strength Chart " sparked widespread discussion on the forum and became popular on the Internet and forums. The list is based on the normal RNG (i.e. 100 combat power value) , including and quantifying all the playoff teams in the three major regions of LPL, LCK, and LEC. The following will analyze each major team from as objective a perspective as possible. Among them, G2, the strongest team in the LEC, only has two familiar faces in Caps and Jankos this season. Both the bottom lane and the top lane have serious injuries. Several brothers, including the coaching staff, have almost broken Caps’ leg, so the list is only Gave them 80 points.
Looking at the LCK next door, the top six in the regular season are GENG, T1, LSB, KT, DK, and DRX . Among them, DRX, where Deft is located, collapsed on the first day of the playoffs; DK's strong strength lost its soul in the summer split. , he was carried down with a chair in the playoffs, Showmaker was mediocre, and only Canyon is still one of the best junglers in the world ; T1's Xiao Lu Bu's statistics this season are not even as good as Huanfeng; GENG at first glance It looks like a star, but since S7, GENG has never been aggressive in external battles. I would like to call the current LCK the "darkest moment."
Looking at the LPL part, the upper and lower limits of TES are 180 and 148 points respectively . The team has two first-line players, Tian and Ah Shui, to protect their lower limits, but the top laners Wayward and Qingtian cannot reach the strength of the playoffs. Even Rich Even if you don’t understand it, it may become a breakthrough. The upper, middle, and lower limits of RNG are 140, 100, and 40 points respectively . There are some elements of improvement, but RNG in the regular season is too unstable. I hope LGD can become the noble person who wakes them up. By then, RNG will win the championship and LGD will be less likely to win. 1/3 of the credit (manual dog head), but a burst of mid laner Xiaohu can save RNG in the playoffs.
V5 is relatively stable, and the 2-0 bloodbath against TES may mean that Xiao Longbao is integrating into the team, but it still depends on the performance of the second half of the playoffs; the operational genes of EDG and JDG are still obvious , but the latter is significantly stronger in execution As for the former, it is very difficult for EDG to break through the many sieges and advance to the S game. Few viewers are optimistic about them. The author believes that the problem of the new king will be difficult to find for a while. It is obvious that there are not many mistakes but they are inexplicably at a disadvantage. Maybe this is the so-called "Hard power gap"?
It is worth mentioning that WBG's rating on the list is quite special. They have a super high ceiling of 170, but under normal circumstances they are on par with RNG. Theshy in the team is more carryy in the regular season, but is a bit weak near the playoffs. However, to borrow Khan's sentence " it's all the jungler's fault if the top laner collapses ", I suggest the coach give a death order to Mr. Sofm to keep the top lane; the double C status and Theshy, on the contrary, becomes more normal the closer it gets to the playoffs, but because of the presence of ON, we never know whether this WBG will win the game.
The history of LPL is too dark, so whenever the audience has the idea that "there will be no opponents in LPL this year", another voice will use the lesson of "skin selection" in S5 to warn players to be down-to-earth and avoid arrogance. The LPL is certainly on the rise, but whether it is TES, JDG, V5, RNG, or WBG, there is still a long way to go before perfection. For example, TES will envy RNG for having a breathing brother, and V5 will envy JDG for being so fierce. Support, after all, "the higher you stand, the more you can find your own problems." This is exactly what the playoffs are about. Finally, which team on the list do you think is underrated/overrated? Will this year be a more promising year for the LPL?
