After its former glory, the LPL took to the World Championship stage in S9 as challengers.
The LCK made a powerful comeback with an almost crushing display, determined to reclaim its standing in the league. Three-time champion FAKER and his dynasty, SKT, had shaken off a season-long slump and were ready to continue forging their legend on the world stage.
The European and North American regions also came into the World Championship in spectacular form, growing even stronger and making the tournament feel like a clash of gods. The most prestigious championship title in League of Legends history would be decided this season!
The three teams representing the LPL were Phoenix reborn, FPX, spreading their wings and fearlessly soaring through every danger; and the courageous, resourceful IG, daring to fight and never backing down.
RNG, promise me you'll make a change, okay!
Yan Lin, reborn with years of painful memories of RNG, was discovered by PDD and recruited into YM, before eventually being introduced to RNG as a transfer.
He wanted to see RNG change too. At the very least, they had to dare to fight and give it their all, with a fighting spirit of their own! Even if they lost, they shouldn't lose without putting up a fight!
