Following Cloud9’s quarterfinal loss yesterday at the 2021 League of Legends World Championship, every Western team has been eliminated from the tournament, leaving three squads from Korea and one from China left. And in a post-series press conference, C9 coach Mithy voiced his complaints about the current league system in League esports and how it’s “unfair” toward Western squads.
“I think the way the whole league system is designed is extremely unfair,” Mithy said. “The Korean teams get to scrim against the LPL, the LJL—everyone, basically. We’re hard stuck in EU or NA. For a Western team to do well, we’d have to boot camp in Korea for a while and do a tournament then. But that’s very hard because we have to play a lot of useless games, especially in the Spring Split, for example, where we could instead be boot camping.”
