Yesterday, Carlos Ollie Rodríguez A Esportmaniacos, the daily show on League of Legends presented by Antonio Must and, as it usually happens with the CEO and founder of G2 ESPORTS, left many headlines. Carlos has always been tremendously vocal over what he considers the best for him, and even for competitions in which they are. So far all right, even if we understand that the angry tone he uses is part of his personality from always.
He talked about many themes, but he caught my attention a message that, although he has repeated a while, reaches new offensive dimensions by the part of him. I mean, of course, at the allusion of him to the small teams of LEC, those that he on multiple occasions of the past he came to call parasites because of what he considers the limited investment and interest of him by Improve the competition.
Nobody is never going to be a fan of these teams
Being asked about the possibility of cricketing the days of LEC, Ocelot spoke about the difficulty that certain teams take revenue of this: If I am the first to which the parasites care a fucking fuck, but at the end of accounts, You have to look at the small print. Because it is true that all teams have to agree with something like that... and you will not have the SK, Excel and the happy little ones, because no one is a fan of these teams.. And nobody is never going to be a fan of these teams.
Although ocelot is tremendously clear, it is necessary to remove a bit of the habitual Sara of it to see the true message you want to send the G2 ESPORTS manager. We say this because you have to eliminate the Bantered Sport, of the true criticism for not working your image or not be a modern company within the current esports.
You have to filter hyperboles like Mad Lions has dozens of fans, or that nobody is a fan of SK or Excel. That is not true in its literal wording, but in which I have used in the owner. There are not too many reasons to be part of a team of LEC like these mentioning ocelot. And it is time for us to face this problem.
Why (almost) No one is from these teams?
Let's analyze why someone is one of a team, whether the sport that is and beyond the ESPORTS. It is worth the most basic excuse in the world (as is my case with the Atlanta Hawks, who came out the first in a PS1 game 20 years ago), but it is evident that on many occasions factors such as geographical proximity or family tradition The palm is carried away.
In the ESPORTS, and specifically the case of LEC, this is quite complex. The teams represent countries or regions, but local identification is not powerful. Mad Lions Try it with Madrid, G2 Winks to Spain in general and astral is to all Denmark, but this is complicated when teams do not have a stadium and always play in Berlin.
And for the youth of electronic sports, almost none has a history so that this has passed from parents to children. In fact, of the few teams with many years of life in LEC, they have not always been able to take advantage of this. We have the case of Fanatic, Successful, and SK, one of the Deans of the ESPORTS, which has barely had relevance in the competition. But it seems obvious that Fanatic has a history of triumphs and great players who pave the way. Only one SCHALKE 04, direct from football, could appeal to something like this to bring fans from their enormous social mass.
Finally, one of the most important factors when selecting which equipment is, are players. How many people have become the Bulls for Jordan, from Barcelona by Messi or of the patriots by Brady ? For in an environment like the ESPORTS, where if they limit factors such as geographical, it is natural to Reckless, from Na'vi by S1MPLE or Giants by Antonio.
If you do not have star players, you do not win games, nobody can go to your stadium, you do not have a story to appeal or do not work well, parts of a small fans base that does not have mouth, yes and neither do you generate An interesting content, There are hardly any reasons to follow your colors. Without anesthesia.
A polarized league without media space
Through a message on Reddit, the narrator of DEC Marc Cadre Lamont, said something we all know: I also think that you think that I exaggerate the narratives, especially in the games of FANATIC or G2 when They tell me that I focus more on them. As they are historical Ores, during the dead times I would not be surprised that I often rely on its extensive story to fill the time if there are not many things to focus at the time.
As much as League of Legends has a 10-year competitive story in Europe, the reality is that there are two great teams. FANATIC and G2 are the kings, and official retransmission, the only form of interaction with this competition beyond regional retransmissions in other languages, uses it to create expectation. It is understandable, Thebes will not sell Align's rights with Levante-Elche, but with Madrid-Barça. But it can become counterproductive.
But the reality is that only one team managed to equate these two titans during these 10 years, and that it was not Mad Lions with its 2021 Dominating LEC, or Alliance with its victory in summer of 2014: Origin. And the reason was none other than Enrique's overflowing charism Peke CEDEAO, no matter how hard the team was just a few months of real success.
And you, Ollie?
Once the situation is analyzed, we see that in electronic sports, or we are of the big teams that earn, or of teams in which our favorite player plays (MAD Lions case with Eloy). Well few players could have more fans in Europe that Perez, Mike or reckless... and they all have a common point: they did not leave G2 to play a LEC team.
Perez's case is the most particular, why he wanted to go to Fanatic and G2 did not allow it. This is understandable in first instance, since he is an own asset that you do not want it to reach your maximum rival. The issue is that with Mike and Reckless it seems that the prices ordained have not facilitated their arrivals to LEC clubs. The support will be left without playing and the ADC migrates to the French Regional League to play in the media CORP.
Is the factor that they may not want to go to LEC projects, as an ocelot account in their messages, but there is a clear conclusion before seeing who is responsible: the best and with more names have to play in The teams of the competition so that it is growing. And meeting ocelot, I do not think it's someone who wants to be a big fish in a small fish tank.
Because at the end of the day, you will be without arguments against someone who says that for what will an SK — Excel from LEC, if you can see IAI, Piqué and Corp. Because the narrative of to see if we enter the playoffs this year of the British pairs in front of clubs that gather thousands of people for a friendly at the Paley Sent Jordi, and in which it also plays a media top 3 in Europe as Reckless.
Foot de lol esports.
