the lpl summer season has ended, and the four teams that will advance to the s14 world finals have been confirmed, namely blg, tes, lng and wbg. this year's world championship is different from the past. this is the lpl world championship with the least korean players since the s4 season. this year, there are only two korean players, scout and tarzan, and the rest are all domestic players.

the main lineups of the lpl teams participating in the world championship this year are as follows. among the main players and substitutes, only lng mid laner scout and wbg jungler tarzan are korean players, and the rest are chinese players. as for the coaching staff, only wbg head coach daeny is korean, and the rest are chinese coaches.

this is also the time with the fewest korean players participating in the lpl world championship since 2014. the most was in 2015 and 2016, when only 3 teams could participate in the world championship, but there were 7 korean players. later in 2017 and 2022, there were only 3 korean players each, and this year in 2024 is the same as in 2014, with only 2 korean players.

the two korean players who participated in the world championship this year actually have some stories. since joining lpl, scout has rarely missed the world championship and even won the world championship. however, in last year's world championship, scout was questioned because of his poor performance. this year's overall performance in lpl is not so stable. however, whether he can play at the strength of the former world champion after the world championship or be as sluggish as last year, it probably depends on the version and status.

the most controversial player is definitely tarzan. like scout, tarzan also performed poorly in last year's world championship. in the game between lng and t1, tarzan made multiple low-level mistakes in a row and was criticized wildly. lng even terminated the contract with tarzan immediately after the world championship. after taking a half-season break, tarzan returned to lpl and joined wbg. from the poor state at the beginning, he played better and better later, and finally successfully led wbg to the world championship. it has to be said that tarzan is indeed strong. not only has he performed well in the past six months, but also in the four years since joining lpl, tarzan has made it to the world championship for three years, and his league results have always been outstanding.

therefore, it is very important for tarzan to clear his name in this year's world championship and wash away the misunderstanding of "serving the country with all his heart". in fact, tarzan is not acting on purpose in the world championship. he has been like this since his debut in grf. he has never performed well in the world championship. he is either a slacker or a scumbag. rather than being loyal to the country, it is better to say that he is a coward in the competition. however, after experiencing the low point from the end of last year to the first half of this year, i don't know if tarzan's mentality has adjusted. i hope that he can completely break everyone's doubts in this world championship and make his career go further!

the reduction in the number of korean players also means that everyone has higher expectations for the all-chinese teams. if the two all-chinese teams, blg and tes, can achieve good results in the world championship this year, it may directly determine the future popularity and fate of the lpl. the all-chinese teams have disappointed everyone for too many years, and many people were pessimistic before this year's game, but i still hope that the players and teams will maintain their confidence and look forward to the world championship bringing everyone surprises!
