On April 19, in a focus match of the second stage of LPL, NIP and WBG met on a narrow road, attracting a large number of viewers. As the former FPX S9 champion mid-jungle combination, Doinb and Tian reunited on the field after a long absence, becoming one of the biggest highlights of the game. In the end, WBG was more skilled and defeated NIP with a score of 2-1. Tian once again defeated his former teammate Doinb on the field.
It is sad that since the two left FPX , Doinb has lost all four games against Tian , including three games in the 2022 Spring and Summer Seasons. After this game, the term " golden jade marriage " quickly topped the Weibo hot search list, and many fans joked that this pair of " former partners " have now become " fateful opponents . " Although the director did not give too many close-up shots of the two, some viewers captured the two people's brief fist bump after the game. Although the scene was plain, it hid a precipitation of emotions.
At the same time, the LCK region also became a hot topic. In the match between HLE and its opponent, the top laner Zeus boldly used the unpopular hero Nidalee, which caused widespread discussion. Nidalee has not appeared in the top lane position in the past 1,500 days, and this choice is a tribute to the LPL top laner The Shy . The Shy has used Nidalee many times recently and performed brilliantly. Zeus used this idea to successfully suppress Sion. Although the final record was 1-4 , his performance in laning and solo laning was very bright.
In the post-match interview, the HLE coaching staff mentioned that they chose Nidalee to improve tactical diversity, and teammate Peanut also said that it is easier for Nidalee to play a rhythm advantage than jungle. However, they also emphasized that the hero has a very low tolerance rate, and once she dies, it is easy to affect the subsequent performance. This also echoed the scene in which The Shy was killed by Gravedigger when using Nidalee, making it a risky choice against tank heroes in this version.
In addition, League of Legends recently adjusted the skill name of the hero " Barrel " Gragas in the US test server, changing his W skill from " Drunken Rage " to " Noisy Rage " . Riot said that this move was to adapt to the age rating system in different regions. Although the word " drunk " was removed, the official emphasized that Gragas still has a passion for fine wine, but the way of expressing it is more " low-key " .
To sum up, whether it is the grudges and hatreds on the field or the changes in version strategies, the linkage and game between LPL and LCK are becoming more and more frequent, allowing the audience to see more wonderful moments where competition and emotions are intertwined.
