The League of Legends e-sports community has been in turmoil for several days, and many terms have been trending on Weibo in recent days. This morning, "Faker's subject 4" once again topped the list. However, this does not refer to Faker passing the subject 4 exam, but to a controversial incident;

On the other hand, TES players have been in poor form since returning from the E-Sports World Cup. Since the second stage of the summer season, they have lost two BO3 games in a row, and the subsequent situation is not optimistic...



  Faker's fourth test is trending on the Internet

The cause of the incident was a post by the official League of Legends tournament on Weibo about a pre-show in the canteen, which mentioned "Subject 4". This was originally a joke about the commentator Maomao's recent Subject 4 exam, but Faker's fans thought it was disrespectful to Faker's family. (Subject 4 is a homonym)





Apparently inspired by the fans’ contributions, T1’s official Weibo account unfollowed the official Weibo account of the League of Legends tournament that day. It also released a post defining the canteen pre-release content of the League of Legends tournament as “extremely controversial” remarks.





Soon after, the official blog of the League of Legends event responded to this, saying that it was all a misunderstanding, and that the "Subject 4" mentioned in the copy only introduced the recent dynamics of the guest (Maomao), and hoped that people would not over-interpret it. At this point, the incident was considered to be over.



In this incident, the most wronged person was the commentator Maomao. He was just talking about his life, but he was labeled as "insulting science" and was personally attacked and blasted by netizens. In fact, if this incident had not become a hot search, most people would not have thought of the relationship between Ke Ke Si and Faker.





In the past, LPL canteen programs were known for their large scale, and they would often have groups with many players, and all kinds of jokes were played wildly. Therefore, the copywriting related to the canteen program is also easy to arouse associations. After this incident, I believe that the official will be more cautious in the choice of words in the future.

  TES lost all the games in the second stage of the summer season

TES, which participated in the e-sports World Cup with an undefeated record, seemed to be heartbroken after losing to T1. After returning to the LPL to start the second stage of the summer season, they lost in a series of BO3s. After losing to BLG in the "strongest base" battle on Friday, they lost to LNG on Sunday. The state of the entire team seemed to be in trouble.



As the summer season entered the second stage, the meta changed slightly. AP jungler was no longer the first choice, and Sejuani, Maokai, and Lee Sin began to emerge. However, TES's player hero pool seemed to be seriously affected. Xiaonaice, who had previously performed well as an AD mid laner, became superstitious about Tsar when Tristana was banned, but failed to play well in two consecutive BO3s.



On the other hand, 369, who plays in the top lane, has been experiencing a lot of ups and downs in his competitive state. After returning from Saudi Arabia, no matter what hero he plays, it feels wrong. So far, he has lost five games in a row, using four different heroes. Some TES fans have begun to hope to recruit The Shy.





Now, TES seems to have a distorted understanding of the version. The smooth offensive rhythm in the early summer season has disappeared, replaced by a large number of mistakes and a large number of resource losses in the mid-term. TES now needs to solve these problems, otherwise it may eventually fall behind in the shorter summit group schedule.



  LCK Week 4 stats released

The LCK Summer Season is in its fourth week, and the schedule is already halfway through. The results and rankings of the ten teams are basically clear. The team and player data recently released by the LCK official can also explain many problems. The specific rankings of the LCK Summer Season teams are as follows:



Gen.G, HLE and DK ranked in the top three. Although they were eliminated in the first round of the E-Sports World Cup, no one has won a single game against Gen.G since returning to LCK. Gen.G's current record is 8-0 in big games and 16-0 in small games. No one knows how to play against LCK teams better than them. On the contrary, T1 ranked only fifth, with a relatively low BO3 win rate.



In terms of player data, the top three players in the POG list (similar to the MVP list) of the LCK Summer Season are all junglers. However, the top player is not Canyon, the jungler of GEN with the best record, but Lucid, the 19-year-old jungler of DK. This newcomer showed his outstanding strength in the Spring Season, and his performance in the Summer Season is getting better and better. If he can maintain his good form, he is very likely to enter the World Championship next.



For several consecutive seasons, the rankings of the teams in the LCK region have been pretty much the same. The playoff teams are always the same, and the champion is always the same. GEN has won the league championship for many consecutive seasons. I wonder if anyone can stop them this season.
