“Super Team” of the League of Legends Scene Faces Challenges
In the transition period at the end of the 2024 season, Invictus Gaming (IG) has begun to establish a formidable roster filled with superstar players. However, after the “super team” was formed, it appears that the organization is already facing significant challenges, as TheShy has revealed some alarming information regarding this new lineup.
Firstly, TheShy disclosed that IG might face an early defeat at the Demacia Cup, as the players have not yet had any practice sessions together despite the official roster being announced about a week ago. The primary reason for this delay is the scheduling conflicts of the former team members, and importantly, they must transition to a new training facility, which has not yet been fully prepared.
Moreover, TheShy also shared that his current livestream environment is not yet up to standard. While at Weibo Gaming, he had a dedicated streaming room, but at IG, this facility has yet to be realized. Additionally, even when TheShy goes live, he often experiences interruptions from his teammates due to the ongoing schedule conflicts, leaving him feeling uncomfortable.
Will the “Super Team” in the LPL and League of Legends be effective?
Both TheShy and other notable players such as GALA and Meiko certainly have high expectations. The prolonged “eco” period of IG has helped them build a “star-studded” roster this year. However, there are concerns about their effectiveness, as these teams are essentially made up of superstar players. When the stakes are high, they may find it challenging to compete for the championship title at Worlds, but when they are on form, they might struggle to maintain composure.
IG clearly finds themselves in a “wild card” situation with their current roster. This may help the LPL have at least one strong contender to compete in the future, but it is also fraught with risk. If this IG lineup fails to succeed, it raises significant concerns about the future of this roster, especially as the League of Legends scene faces numerous challenges currently.
