League of Legends: The Esports Nations Cup announced good news: without the burden of nationality, netizens have nominated Tabe as the LPL coach.

Competition was fierce in each region, and the qualifying rounds were held to select the strongest lineup to represent the country. Previously, it was reported that the organizers had fallen out with South Korea and even announced their withdrawal from the competition. Fortunately, after in-depth communication, the problem was resolved, and KeSPA and ENC reached a consensus on cooperation. The organizers agreed that KeSPA would take the lead in the selection process.

In addition, the official announcement also gave LPL and LCK a boost by stating that there are no nationality restrictions on team coaches. In other words, the disadvantaged side has a wider range of team formation options. LPL fans were overjoyed, as if they had seen the light again and regained their fighting spirit to defeat Korean players.

World-class competitions are attracting a lot of attention, but the reality is that the popularity of League of Legends is declining. Relying solely on the season finals won't sustain it for long. The official addition of three more world tournaments throughout the year has significantly improved the viewing experience. Although many believe that LCK maintains the viewership, as LPL's glory days are over, the Esports National Cup lineup is as expected: BLG. Perhaps they need to change their AD carry, with netizens specifically mentioning JackeyLove and Gala.

Before the new rules were announced, Bigwei was almost confirmed as the coach. Those familiar with the industry have mixed feelings about him. He led his team to win the World Championship and the LPL championship, but his performance has been inconsistent. Now that he is free from the burden of nationality, it seems like a back door has been opened for him. Various excellent coaches are vying for rankings. Some netizens said that Tabe should start warming up, believing that he is the strongest domestic coach.
