League of Legends: The LPL auction was a farce, the transfer process is back to normal, and JDG team couldn't buy their ideal players.

With the S15 World Championship concluded, the two major League of Legends regions are about to enter the transfer period. The LPL is undoubtedly the most watched topic in the scene. The winter transfer window is the best time to reorganize the roster. Take T1 as an example. Last time, they dropped a bombshell by swapping top laners with HLE, which sparked a war between the two teams' fans. This year, everyone is watching the drama unfold, seeing who is indispensable. The conclusion is that Faker is still the team's ace. T1 won three consecutive championships, and Faker himself is a six-time champion, leaving his mark on history and creating a legend. It's inevitable that other teams will want to follow suit, hoping to one day defeat this ultimate boss.

Bidders implemented reforms, but their destinations were already predetermined.

However, as usual, LPL staged a farce, auctioning off merchandise and artwork. While we've seen this in movies, the players themselves were quite novel. First, the original plan was postponed, and only three players were in the bidding pool in the first round, including Gala, Jiejie, and Xun. What few people know is that their destinations had already been decided beforehand. All the players had decided on their affiliations: Gala was going to JDG, Jiejie was joining WBG, and Xun was returning to BLG. So, the so-called auction was nothing but nonsense.

Loudly proclaiming, recruiting, making sweeping reforms, running around, setting up an auction with complicated rules, all talk of era-defining reforms, but in the end it was all bark and no bite. The players went back to the original process. The only difference was that the popular veteran player, Lao Ma, was forced to leave and was in a semi-retired state. The news that came out was that JKL would take a break for a while to recuperate, TheShy was confirmed not to play, the famous Doinb disappeared and retired silently, and Tian was listed on WBG and was not sent to participate in the competition.

Retirement or rest will put the LPL region in trouble in the future.

The LPL region has become unrecognizable, not because of the major changes in teams, but because almost all the familiar players have lost their jobs during this transfer period. It's no wonder that streamers have been complaining to their viewers that money is hard to earn, transitioning to other games is difficult, technical gameplay is boring, and humorous approaches seem like an insult to their profession. They're stuck in a rut, and even the League of Legends community has simply quit, preferring to switch to other games for a different experience.

The length of the break depends on the players themselves. Teams always have to give an explanation to their supporters. Apart from Doinb, it is believed that the others will return in the second or third stage. The fact that two top players announced their breaks at the same time suggests that the popularity of the LPL is in trouble and the viewing experience of the matches will drop significantly.
