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

The LOL Global Pioneer tournament is underway, and in the process, foreign media are giving revelations, because the effect of the global BP in the first stage is good, so Riot decided that the global BP mode will also be used in the remaining stages.

As a result, today, the LPL division took the lead in officially announcing the format of the second and third stages, and the global BP will not be canceled.

LPL officially announced that the global BP will not be canceled

As early as the end of last year, the two major regions of China and South Korea released the content of the competition system reform, dividing the competition of the year into three different stages, and there was only one league champion a year, but at that time, the two divisions, including the other three divisions, only mentioned that the first stage would adopt the global BP system throughout the whole process, and did not say what the subsequent stages were.

Everyone defaulted to this year's global BP is a test stage, and the traditional BP model will be used later, but I didn't expect Riot to make changes immediately after testing the water, and LPL took the lead in responding, which means that the revelations given by foreign media are accurate.

Let's introduce to you the format of the later stages of the LPL, the first stage is the nature of the cup competition, and the second and third stages are league nature, retaining the previous LPL group stage, dividing the teams into the summit group and the Nirvana group, of which the second stage of the game will be grouped according to the ranking of the major teams in the first stage (divided into different seed pools and then drawn).

The four groups will compete in a double round-robin BO1 mode, and then the top two teams will advance to the summit group, the fourth team will enter the nirvana group, and the four third-ranked teams will compete for two more spots in the summit group.

Open the brutal stage, and two teams will be eliminated

The follow-up is the intra-group confrontation between the two groups, the group is a BO3 single-round robin mode of competition, the top four teams in the summit group advance to the playoffs, and the bottom two teams in the Nirvana group are directly eliminated and miss the third stage of the game, which is a punishment strategy for the weak teams in the LPL division.

Then it's time for the bottom six to compete with the top two in the summit group for the last four promotion spots, followed by a double-elimination tournament, where the top four are eligible to choose their opponents.

Note that the winner of this stage is still not called the champion, but the winner, and the whole process is in global BP mode.

The format of the third stage is simple, directly according to the ranking of the second stage, the top eight teams that advance directly enter the summit group, and the bottom six teams enter the Nirvana group, or the group round-robin BO3, or the top four advance to the knockout round, and then the bottom four and the top four in the Nirvana group play the knight's road to compete for four places to advance to the playoffs, followed by the double-elimination system BO5.

The winner of the third stage will become the champion of the LPL for the whole year.

The strong team sounded the alarm, and the global BP test was great

Personally, I think that this year-round global BP has directly brought the entire League of Legends e-sports project into a new era, which can be said to be a change of game, and it can be said that the champion in the traditional BP mode may not be able to win the championship in the global BP mode, which also sounded the alarm for the strong teams in the LPL region.

Global BP is a good thing for the audience, but it is not a good thing for many players, and many players who are not deep enough in the hero pool will be greatly weakened because of this, and it will be difficult to play well.

The team's coaches and management must also strengthen their management and let the players strengthen the practice of different heroes, only then will they have a better chance of getting better results in this brutal format.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that this year's World Finals will be held in China, which will be the first global BP Global Finals system in LOL history, and the World Finals will test the different abilities of the teams at different stages.

After entering the promotion and elimination rounds, the team's global BP ability will be tested to a certain extent, not to mention the subsequent knockout round BO5, which will determine the king of global BP, and all teams must make changes.
