S14 English commentary lineup sparks controversy, foreign netizens question why no one from LPL and only two from LCK

Live broadcast on September 19th Riot Games recently announced the official English commentary lineup for the 2024 LOL World Championship. Six from the North American LCS were selected, seven from the LEC, and only three from the LCK including translator Ji Xuan. No one from the LPL English stream was selected. This commentary lineup subsequently sparked controversy on foreign forums, with some of the discussions summarized as follows:

——Great that Chronicler and Atlus were selected, but it's really disappointing that Valdes, Wolf (Note: Wolf here refers to the LCK English commentator, not the former SKT support), and Aux didn't make it

——This is why I fully supported Valdes and Wolf to commentate the esports World Cup. Valdes is one of my favorite commentators but Riot never gave him any respect

Nymaera (LPL English commentator) I hope that next year some commentator from the LPL English stream gets a chance. It's a pity we can't continue to tell the stories of the teams from this region, but I hope everyone enjoys our coverage of the LPL so far. Good luck to all the commentators

——As someone who mainly watches LPL matches, thank you for the wonderful coverage this year

——I generally don't comment, but this is too outrageous. I live in Chile so every time I watch LPL or LCK matches I have to get up at 4 AM. Just like the LCK commentators, the LPL commentators do their best, and I can't find any reason not to consider the LPL English commentators. This is infuriating

——It's infuriating every year. Do we need 6 LCS commentators? I'm not targeting anyone, but often the LPL and LCK go further in these tournaments, and then one of these regions doesn't have a single commentator?

——Unfortunately, I think this is a regional issue. Hysterics couldn't get into the Worlds English stream for years, then he got the chance to switch from the LPL English stream to the LEC and immediately made it. It feels like Riot really hates the LPL English commentators and treats them as a burden.

undefined

——It's amazing that Riot doesn't use a single LPL English commentator

——What's more amazing is that these people actually live in Europe

——I think when they decided on the LPL English commentators, they were basically commentating from home
