League of Legends: After failing to reach the finals, LPL announced that it will design special chroma skins for the four teams, prompting netizens to joke that the official team is short of

League of Legends, without its esports system, would probably be completely dead. Its animation production is highly praised, sweeping numerous awards and even having a foothold in the entertainment industry. It was expected to bring huge profits and attract viewers to the game, but it stopped there, resembling a mere "promotional video" to announce its existence to the world. Millions in advertising fees were simply spent on increasing exposure – a huge loss. They also recently announced a classic server, but it lacked originality, relying on nostalgia cards to lure old players back for a high school experience. We'll wait and see, and the online reviews will be fresh off the press after its release.

The finals became more entertaining.

The game suffers from low replayability, overly complex mechanics that deter players, and a lack of social ecosystem. Its only remaining source of buzz is the annual World Championship, which starts in about two weeks. Die-hard fans familiar with the scene know it's a clash between the LCK and LPL regions, a "China-Korea showdown." Last year, T1 won the championship, achieving a three-peat, and Faker became a six-time world champion. Whether he can continue the dynasty this year remains to be seen, given the disbanded roster. The boring, fixed dominance suddenly becomes more interesting. Will it be a slap in the face? Or a confirmation? Is Faker incapable without others, or has he single-handedly carried the team to this point?

LPL has something new to do.

On the other hand, in the LPL, the four participating teams have been confirmed. IG secured the fourth seed, which is commendable. Although they didn't win the match, the official announcement stated that they would design commemorative premium skins for them and the Finals MVP. After the news broke, netizens quickly started joking online, saying that this arrangement was really not afraid of being laughed at by other regions. Other teams should strive for honor through hard work. The last team to stand on the stage deserves to be loved and praised. However, the fact that the LPL got skins before even reaching the semifinals shows that they are really short of money to encourage players to spend in-game. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done such a trivial operation.

While the approach is unsightly, the official supplementary revenue from the Prestige skins will be shared with the clubs. In other words, when you buy the skins, you are genuinely contributing to and supporting your favorite players. Is this a win-win situation? It's really hard to measure.
