League of Legends: The eSports World Cup has no restrictions on the nationality of coaches; Viper and Peyz have registered for the Asian Games.


Many players are jokingly saying that League of Legends is on its deathbed, with declining player numbers, a lack of new blood, difficulty adapting to new content, and veteran players wanting to stay. The upcoming release of a classic server is uncertain, but it's unclear whether it will help boost its popularity. However, there are currently too many international tournaments being held, including the eSports World Cup, the eSports Nations Cup, and the Asian Games. Regardless of netizens' claims about the game's decline, the viewership of these sporting events doesn't lie; League of Legends is poised to capitalize on this surge in popularity.

With six months to go until the eSports World Cup, it seems like a long time, but organizers need to start preparing in advance. As for the eSports Nations Cup, reports surfaced of official interference in the Korean qualifiers, leading to a falling out with the LCK region. Sources indicate that a near-complete agreement has been reached; otherwise, why would the regional qualifiers continue?

Moreover, ENC also announced that there are no nationality restrictions on the coaches of the participating teams, which means that each team can recruit strong players. However, some teams still have an obsession with this. Unlike traditional sports, they prefer an all-Chinese lineup, believing that winning would be a true national honor. Netizens are eager to see Daeny lead the team into the competition.

Meanwhile, with the Asian Games about to begin, the competition regions are also busy selecting players. A blogger revealed that Viper and Peyz have registered for the Asian Games, with a choice between the two. Peyz is less consistent, occasionally putting on a spectacular performance, but his performance is unpredictable, while Viper has consistently performed well. The lineups and performances of Riot Games' three major tournaments are truly something to look forward to.
