The result of this tournament will be used as a measure for the start of the LPL speed. Here, 16 teams will play with each other to find 5 teams with the best achievement. Accordingly, 5 teams with the best results of LPL will win the right to attend the 2021 World Championship finals later this year. In the national tournament (community), 32 teams do not associate with LPL organizations that will play with each other to win 6 higher levels.
Suning is the only team of LPL Summer 2021 without participating in the battle. The reason is known as Suning has completed the resale process to Weibo. The value of this deal is not less than 20 million yuan (about 71 billion VND).
Weibo will announce the acquisition of Suning after the summer LPL 2021 ends. Accordingly, Suning will change its name to Weibo before attending the Spring LPL 2022. Besides, Weibo is ready to pour money into the transfer market to rebuild the squad and be able to compete in the championship next season.
