Foreword: The S15 season has officially begun, and I believe that the vast majority of players have paid attention to the recent offseason, and all major regions have entered the final training stage. This season, in order to maximize the popularity of the game, the league official has also made a lot of adjustments to the version, and the revision of the competition system has indeed caught some teams off guard. Just recently, the LPL division officially announced the points of each stage, and it turned out that the championship of the first stage was a joke and did not play any role at all, and the TES team really planted a big heel this time, winning the championship of the first stage, with only 20 points for the whole year, the same as the sixth place in the second stage.
I believe that the vast majority of players are still familiar with the LPL region, as the world's top region, the overall development of LPL in recent years has been very rapid, and the number of teams has increased, resulting in a very serious decline in the overall quality, and the results are getting worse and worse. This time the format revision has also made many players scratch their heads, although it is three stages, but in the end, it is necessary to compete for a few teams participating in the World Championship to compete for the final World Finals championship.
Just recently, the LPL division officially announced the team points this time, and there are points rewards for the first, second and third stages. First of all, the first stage score, the winning team has only 20 points, the runner-up team has 15 points, the third and third place teams are 10 points, and the remaining teams that make the playoffs have only five points. The second stage had 90 points for the winner, 70 for the runner-up, and 50, 30, 20 for the second, which was the same as in the previous spring races. This is followed by the third stage, where the champion directly advances to the World Championship with 220 points, the runner-up is 110 points, and the second place is likely to be the second in points, followed by 80 points, 60 points, 40 points and 10 points, basically the third stage is the same as the previous summer game.
The worst should be the first stage, the whole game is also a lot, after nearly a month, the team that won the championship only has 20 points, and the sixth place score in the second stage, I feel that this first stage of the game has no gold content at all, the TES team won the championship really lost a lot, not only in the world stage of the embarrassment, in this division does not have too many advantages. In addition, in the world stage, the self-confidence is lost, maybe the results of the second stage will be very poor, if the mood in this division is kept high, maybe the TES team may challenge for the championship of the second stage, but from the current point of view, it is almost impossible.
Later, the official also released changes to the MSI results and the world championship quota, as previously said, the MSI won the championship and the runner-up region will get the fourth seed in the world championship, but the two fourth seeds will have a BO 5 duel before the official competition starts, the winning team participates in the Swiss round of the competition, and the losing team is eliminated directly, which means that there must be a team in the LPL division and the LCK division that will go home after only one game. This arrangement is still very cruel, it is estimated that the team that goes home should be ridiculed for being incomplete, maybe the LPL team may not have this opportunity, and the European region has really risen.
Who would have thought that the first stage of the LPL division would have so few points? The team that won the championship had the same score as the sixth place finisher in Stage 2. Team TES worked so hard in the first stage that they came back with a bad reputation and didn't get any points in the end. If the points continue to be like this in the future, it is estimated that not too many teams will take the first stage seriously, and the results of the TES team are already a lesson from the past, unless you are confident that you can beat the LCK team in the first stage of the World Championship, you might as well go and take a runner-up place.
What do you think about this?
