League of Legends: Mysterious top laner tops the Korean server, all of the top ten are Koreans, LPL strikes during off-season.

Without comparison, there's no harm done. The popularity of League of Legends is almost entirely supported by Koreans. This is because of T1's three consecutive championships and Faker's six championships, who seem to have become the ultimate demon king that the world wants to challenge. So far, there are no successful examples. Besides winning the championship cup, isn't that another title to fight for? Therefore, those who seriously want to surpass him dare not slack off. After the S15 World Championship, during the off-season, they still went to the Korean server to play ranked games to maintain their good form and prevent their skills from becoming rusty, striving for perfection.

T1's mysterious 2004-born prodigy, the strongest top laner in the Korean server.

The LCK region seems to be another peak, unattainable for the LPL region. Therefore, to hone their skills, players often go to the Korean server to participate in high-level games and see if they can earn a ranking. Even if it's not an S-level event, it's still a recognition of their strength. The competition in high-level games is fierce, and the rankings are almost monopolized by LCK players. Those who make it into the top ten are all top performers, and they happen to be Koreans.

T1 recently nurtured a new talent who immediately rose to the top, attracting attention from the entire scene. This is a rare talent from their youth training program. Born in 2004, this young player has defeated all the veteran players at such a young age. His strength should not be underestimated. Even before the official start of the competition, this alone is enough to put immense pressure on Doran, who is also a top laner.

A young top laner with the potential to become Doran's substitute.

T1's current success isn't solely due to Faker. While their top-tier roster is formidable, their second-tier teams are equally strong, and their academy players are promising talents. One player, who performed exceptionally well, was promoted to the top team, and it's believed that he could become a substitute or even a top-tier top laner in the future.

He's still young and has plenty of time to train. He's already reached the top of the Korean server; his next goal is to become a top-tier top laner. Moreover, T1 is known for producing top-tier top laners. We'll wait and see when this young player will step onto the international stage and debut as a top-tier player. Following this trend, he'll undoubtedly be noticed internally, who will try to discover his potential. If he sets a precedent and wins any title related to the youngest player, T1's prestige will skyrocket. Encouraging young people to join the industry will bring long-term benefits, economic effects, and lead the game towards a brighter future. In contrast, the LPL region's prospects seem very slim.
