Tencent is hoping that by moving the players into the super server, the behavior of these players will improve. One of the reasons why the players avoid the server is because of the toxicity from the casual players. The goal behind the new requirements is to make the super server more competitive ahead of the 2020 World Championship being hosted in China. The new rule will force the players to play in the Chinese servers. To be considered an LPL professional player, the players must keep their accounts in the super server at Diamond I or above. Tencent wants the LPL players to focus on the Chinese super server and to do so, the company created a new requirement for players to play in the LPL. By playing in the Korean server, the active LPL players get exposed to new strategies and get to face opponents that otherwise would only encounter at international events.

Players do not get promoted immediately form one server to the other, as they must submit a request that gets approved or denied by Tencent. The company also created a “super server” that is exclusive for the players that reach Diamond I on the regular servers. Legend of Legends is one of the most popular video games in China, and to host its massive player base, Tencent created multiple servers set inside the country.
