The KPL finals, which are in full swing, are the final battle. Even though the game hasn't been promoting it much, with only the release of the Cao Cao 6-yuan limited edition skin, it has still attracted a lot of attention from fans. The arch-rivals meet again on the final stage, with Wolves facing off against AG Super Play. Who will win the championship? The answer is AG Super Play. This result seems to be expected. The strong team won the game, which should be a cause for celebration. However, the audience seems to have a different reaction.
KPL Grand Finals Break Guinness World Record
The first is a slight aversion, like the feeling of one person dominating, as if the championship is already in their pocket every year, the competitiveness has dropped significantly, and it's less interesting to watch. They criticize it verbally, but they still hope for a miracle, that their record will be overtaken, and the enthusiastic audience will go directly to the venue to support them. Not to mention the championship, in terms of the essence of the event, it has already broken the Guinness World Record for esports, with the number of participants reaching 62,196.
The atmosphere was lively until the result was announced. The commentator excitedly made various descriptions, saying that AG Super Play was the first Chinese e-sports team to win the championship at the Bird's Nest. As soon as he said this, the major e-sports circles were not at ease. They felt that the sentence contained a veiled criticism of LPL. The domino effect inadvertently triggered a war of words between KPL and LPL fans. There was a pause for a period of time, as they usually do not interfere with each other.
The claim that China was the first esports team to win a championship at the Bird's Nest stadium is unfounded.
The comparison between games acted as a fuse. Despite being of the same genre, they had different styles, mechanisms, and skins, each with its own merits. Then came the holding of tournaments. Honor of Kings followed the trend and created an international server and comics. Meanwhile, the popularity of League of Legends declined. Some streamers complained to their fans that money was hard to earn. The LPL representative went to war and was repeatedly defeated by the god team T1.
Faker's legend is so immense that his popularity surpasses that of the entire LPL. However, his fans choose to remain silent, clinging to hope and continuing to support him. But regarding the commentator's statement, was he right? Actually, no. AG Super Play wasn't exactly the first Chinese esports team to win a championship at the Bird's Nest. Back in 2016, NEA held a competition at the Bird's Nest. In fact, other esports titles had already been won there, such as DOTA 2, CS:GO, or FIFA Online 3.
It should have been FIFA Online 3, but the CS:GO finals took place first, and TYLOO defeated BOF. This shows that they were the first Chinese team to win the championship at the Bird's Nest.
