For the first time, a coach was fired while the season was still going on
For the first time in the history of LCK in general and T1 in particular, a current coach had to leave the team because he was fired right when the season was only halfway through.
Coach Daeny’s disagreement with some of T1’s pillars, including the legendary Faker, is something that everyone has seen clearly since the `Demon King` often appeared on the bench – something coach kkOma said.
But soon after, this team had a strong `revival`.
For the first time, an LPL team lost the entire return leg of the group stage of a World Championship
And the team that holds this `unexpected` achievement is FunPlus Phoenix.
And after FPX’s defeat, people understood that this team’s short era had truly ended after they lost their tickets to Worlds 2020.
EDG won Worlds 2021 for the first time
As one of the most traditional teams in the LPL region in particular and the world League of Legends in general, EDward Gaming proved `unlucky` with the World Championship trophy.
This victory of EDG shook the whole LPL.
In addition, EDG’s championship is also for Flandre and the LPL representative to `revenge` SofM as well as T1, making this team’s World Championship trophy even more meaningful.
For the first time, LPL witnessed the disbandment of two World Championship champions at the same time
Without an appointment, both Invictus Gaming and FPX chose the right time at the end of the 2021 season to officially disband the entire squad that together won the 2018 and 2019 World Championships.
The players of both teams have chosen new paths for themselves.
