The trend of integrating e-sports with traditional sports has become stronger in recent years. The 142nd International Olympic Committee General Assembly, which is currently underway, has taken a historic step towards the inclusion of e-sports in the Olympics.

On the other hand, the RNG team, which only won one game in the LPL Summer Season, has made another personnel adjustment. Iwandy, who just joined the team in the Summer Season, disappeared from the team's roster... Without further ado, let's take a look at today's hot spots in the LPL circle.



  IOC approves esports as an Olympic event

Last year's Hangzhou Asian Games included several games, including League of Legends and Dota 2, as official events. On July 23, Beijing time, the 142nd International Olympic Committee Session opened in Paris, the capital of France, and opened a new chapter for e-sports.



——In the vote held at the meeting, the IOC unanimously approved the establishment of an Olympic e-sports event.



It is reported that the first e-sports Olympics will be held in Saudi Arabia in 2025, and the specific time is to be determined. Considering Saudi Arabia's experience in hosting the E-sports World Cup this year, they will be able to host another international event with ease. However, Vincent Pereira, head of e-sports at the International Olympic Committee, also revealed another content: "FPS games such as CS will never be part of the Olympics."



The eSports Olympics and the eSports World Cup do not seem to be equated. In terms of the participating events, the game types included are mainly divided into three types: virtual physical games, eSports simulators, and existing games with competitive nature.



The first two are easier to understand, and they are actually simulator games of various real-life sports. However, "competitive and existing games" is a broader category. It is not yet known whether this rule will result in the current popular e-sports events being excluded from the selection. The specific situation will depend on the future content updates of the IOC.

  Iwandy leaves RNG roster

Last week, RNG, who were in the Nirvana group, gave LPL audiences a top-level performance. Others played the game's overall pick and choose heroes, but they played the game's overall pick and choose players. Because the starting jungler Geju was banned, Iwandy temporarily played the jungler. After losing the first game, the substitute mid laner Xzz took over. With two consecutive games of playing the jungler Zac, RNG won its first victory.



However, with the end of the suspension of the game, RNG once again adjusted the team lineup. Unexpectedly, Iwandy was the first to suffer. Today, Iwandy's name was removed from the roster on RNG's official website. Now, the remaining players are basically new faces.



Although it has not been officially announced yet, this is already a signal. The last player to leave the RNG official roster is now the starting jungler for the team with the best record in the league. However, Iwandy may not have a good time finding a new team after leaving the team this time. From WE to RNG, there are really not many teams left for him to choose from.



At present, RNG has only won one game. If nothing unexpected happens, this season will be the shortest season since RNG was founded. According to the RNG fan group, Xzz Jianghe Tangyuan will rotate to support in the subsequent games. If RNG wants to rise again in the new season, it may not be enough to rely on the "Pinxixi" lineup alone.



  In the current version, the average number of BPs in professional games is seven ADCs.

Once upon a time, ADC was always considered as a player who could be used as a cannon by assassins. AD in public games has long been at the bottom of the food chain. However, due to the adjustment of the version, ADC heroes are currently experiencing their heyday in the competition server. According to statistics, in today's League of Legends games, an average of 7 ADC heroes are banned.



In the past few versions, the mid lane of League of Legends in major regions has been dominated by ADC heroes. Tristana and Corki are often played together. Yongen is the only mid lane melee hero, but he is basically paired with Sejuani. And strangely enough, the reason for this situation is the launch of the AP equipment [Ebony Torch].



In the previous mid-season version, the extremely cost-effective [Ebony Torch] made AP junglers shine. Correspondingly, the mid lane can only support AD heroes. In addition, the outstanding performance of the new lifesucking talent is also one of the reasons for the strong performance of ADC heroes.



In version 14.14, the designers weakened Corki and Tristana, but did not change the current situation in the game. Zeli and Lucian followed suit, and even mid-lane Draven had a record of appearance. If the designers want to bring back the mage, the subsequent changes may still have to weaken the performance of AP junglers or cool down the ADC equipment.





So what do you think about the current competition service environment?
