The LPL's "special rules" were questioned, SOLO decided to win or lose, and AL won the game, but it was extremely dangerous

Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.

The knockout round of the first stage of the LPL Pro League ushered in the upper bracket finals yesterday, and AL and JDG defeated their opponents with a score of 3-2 in five games, won the upper bracket championship, and advanced to the finals.


This BO5 match can be said to be quite exciting, but it has caused a certain amount of controversy over the side selection rules.

Special rules are questioned, and SOLO picks sides change

In addition to the introduction of bilateral global rules in the first stage of LPL this year, there is also a special side selection rule, the previous group stage of the game is determined by the SOLO method, simply put, each side sends a player out to play a SOLO match, and the winning side gets the right to choose the side.


The rules of this SOLO mode are also constantly improving, at first in the canyon SOLO, there were some longer SOLOs, and later changed to the shrinking circle mode of the Howling Abyss.

And in the later knockout stage, the rules of this SOLO have changed again, taking yesterday's game as an example, JDG and AL at the beginning of the choice of sides is not through the SOLO mode, but a coin toss to decide, and the SOLO link is arranged to the fifth game, if the game enters the fifth game, the two sides will have a SOLO to decide the right to choose sides.


In the match between AL and JDG, JDG got the right to choose a side in the pre-game coin toss, and the blue side was selected in the first game, and AL completed the red break blue, so that JDG could also choose the blue side in the second game, and then AL lost in the second game, and in the third game, AL won on the blue side, and JDG got the blue side in the fourth game and the score became 2-2.

SOLO decides victory or defeat, and the audience bluntly says that it is unreasonable

According to the previous rules, after the AL team lost the fourth game, it should have directly obtained the right to choose a side in the fifth game, because the previous rules have always been that the loser chooses the side, but after the emergence of the SOLO mode in the fifth game, AL may not be able to get this side, which is called unreasonable by the audience.


Because if JDG wins the SOLO battle, it is equivalent to saying that JDG has won four sides in this round of BO5, because JDG chose blue in the first, second, and fourth games, and if it wants to choose another game in the fifth game, it will be four.

You must know that in the version of the first stage of this year, the advantage of the blue side is still very large, especially on the LCK side, in the process of the later fairy fight, the teams on the blue side basically won the game, and the LPL side chose the side in the tiebreaker, which is a little unreasonable in the case of such a big gap in the blue and red win rate.


Especially in the case of the relationship between victory and defeat in the front, it is unreasonable to flip a coin + SOLO to choose sides together in the fifth game, and it is possible that one of the parties will get four sides, which largely determines the direction of victory or defeat of both sides.

The atmosphere of the decisive victory is highlighted, but the fairness is lacking

Personally, I think that the purpose of the official arrangement of this tiebreaker SOLO is to make the game more beautiful, test the strength of the players on both sides in the most critical situation, and fight each other with wits and courage The operation will be more exciting, but in doing so, there is indeed a lack of fairness.


The main thing is that it is not reasonable to have a coin toss + SOLO, and AL may be punished if it completes the red and blue.

There will be two BO5 games to play in the LPL later, and there may be controversy under this rule, in the first stage of the game this year, there are a large number of full BO5 games in the LCK and LPL leagues, and the strength of the teams is close to the global BP, which makes the full rate of the game higher, so the official still needs to seek a new solution.

The rules that take into account fairness and excitement will not generate more controversy in the discussion of victory and defeat.


After the subsequent LPL determines the champion, Riot's Global Pioneer Tournament will be held immediately, and Riot will also face a choice, that is, what kind of side selection rules will be more reasonable to use, whether to continue to flip coins or take a SOLO side similar to LPL, when the time comes, you can look forward to it and see what kind of plot will appear in the showdown between the strongest teams in the two major regions.
