The League of Legends 2026 Global Pioneers Tournament will officially begin in just 5 days. Recently, Riot's official event team compiled the international competition honors of the participating players and coaches for this Pioneers Tournament. All five members of GEN have international tournament championships, with the jungler and AD each having one world championship. Following GEN is BLG; except for ON and Xun, the remaining members also have championships, and the head coach and AD have won S-series titles.

Ranked third is JDG, where the jungler has a world championship, and the head coach and AD have won two Mid-Season Invitational championships. Among the remaining teams, only G2's Caps has an MSI championship, and TSW's head coach has a world championship. GEN's lineup strength is indeed quite formidable, with the entire team being international tournament champions. If Chovy doesn't underperform, GEN is likely to win this Pioneers Tournament.

Riot updates global power rankings

With the Pioneers Tournament about to start, Riot recently updated the global team power rankings. GEN, as the current strongest global team, unsurprisingly tops the list. The teams ranked second and third did not qualify for the Pioneers Tournament: they are T1 and HLE respectively. Faker's team being second is somewhat acceptable, but HLE, eliminated in the 10-into-9 qualifier, ranked third, is truly laughable. Riot's ranking is really questionable.

Within the top ten, LPL has four teams上榜: BLG ranked fourth, AL sixth, JDG and TES placed 9th and 10th respectively. Honestly, Riot's ranking has little reference value because last year's points can still be inherited this year. HLE indeed won many matches last season, but their strength has significantly declined this year. This kind of统计 is completely unscientific; points should probably be reset at year-end and重新计分 from the start of the year.

Gumayusi: I really want to go to MSI

Players from LCK teams already on break are recently直播. Gumayusi直播感慨 recently: It feels like matches were a long time ago, really a long time past. It feels a bit rusty. Since becoming a pro, this is the first time experiencing such a long空白期. Finally, Egg added: I really want to go to MSI. The second stage starts in April; LCK will rest for this whole month.

Just after leaving T1, they directly get a one-and-a-half-month break. This year's HLE is truly somewhat abstract. Their paper roster looks like a top-three LCK team, yet they couldn't even make the 10-into-9 qualifier. If Kanavi continues this playstyle next stage, going to MSI seems difficult too. If nothing else, HLE should promote their二队 jungler to put pressure on Kanavi. Playing like this, achieving results is too hard.

Arch-rival breakup puts Doinb on热搜

After Rookie and Xiao Yu officially announced their breakup, the LoL community was刷屏 by them. Many active pros and retired streamers discussed it直播. Doinb, who has always had issues with Rookie, was even sent to热搜. His good兄弟 Icon even played "Good Luck"直播 to celebrate. Clearly, their恩怨 is deep. Seeing his arch-rival breakup and疑似出轨 really delighted Doinb.

Regarding感情, Doinb is indeed better than Rookie. Tang Xiao You and Doinb also dated for many years, but they held their wedding before Doinb officially retired, and now have kids several years old. Rookie and Xiao Yu dated for 9 years, ended up分手, and were exposed约会 a female网红. If confirmed, Rookie's口碑 would really collapse. But his career is末期 anyway, probably returning to Korea soon.

Conclusion:

After Rookie announced the breakup, various黑历史 have been recently扒出来. Honestly, he could have waited until正式退役后再宣布分手. Still playing professionally now, he faces指责 from fans and观众, and might encounter Xiao Yu during采访. How awkward would that be.

So, do you think HLE can go to MSI this year?
