LOL Worlds 2021 Schedule and Live Streaming : The League of Legends World Championship trophy has been an elusive item for many pro-gamers and continents for ages now. A hope emerges every year, only to get snuffed out at the dying stages of the Championship.
The eternal battle between South Korea and the Rest of the world has been the hot cake topic, that threw South Korea from a modest economy to a booming industry centred specifically around the Gaming culture and community. Faker always was a man to beat since his SKT days, where he continued unfettered domination for multiple Seasons.
Moreover, the sense of nothingness and unintentional choking performances by multiple pro players over years drew heartbreak and caused a unique emotional experience for most of us. We could do nothing but revel in the glory of the Winning nation every year. This year a number of variables have been added to the system.
How to Watch LOL Worlds 2021?
The pandemic hit us hard in 2020. This caused mass panic and economic lockdown. A lot of Pro players found good ways to keep practising, either through help or support from friends and family. The same cannot be said for a lot of gamers belonging to pro-circuit. Even though we do not have specific information to share, performances do speak for themselves.
The strongest team on paper by far is DAMWON KIA with a 70% win rate in the first part of the year of 2021, and a strong Overall team KD/A through 2020. They are the team to look out for this season. I should probably mention that they are a Unicorn(the top seed from a particular region) from South Korea, so high expectations are resting on their shoulders.
PSG. Talon has a strong early start to the Championship and they could be just the recipe to a wonderful story to this year’s ripe stage after Pandemic sanctions have been lifted. Much like OG in Dota 2, they could have a cinderella run. Faker has returned to the fray and allowed his team an average start. Not to cut some slack, but T1 maybe needed some more team coordination to up their bets. But, we could always bet on Lee “Faker” Syang-Hyeok.
