The KPL League, the KPL League, launched by the Glory of kings, has also undergone several rounds of reforms so far, and these reforms have more or less revealed the official determination to do this game well, and each change in these changes has brought corresponding improvements and changes. But the only issue that has been criticized the longest, and that is still a pain point in the season to this day, is the problem of SAB's format grouping. In fact, the original intention of the official is understood by everyone, and when this system first came out, it did give everyone a new visual experience and sensory experience, including the passion of the competition.
When the SAB format was first introduced, the purpose was very clear, that is, to let the strong teams talk to each other, the weak teams learn from each other, if the strong teams have always met with the weak teams, such a game is meaningless, such a game is also crushing, lack of ornamentation. Therefore, the official requirement of such a format is also to improve the viewing of the game itself in essence, and there is no problem with such a starting point. However, with the passage of time, the addition and change of some new systems have also quietly changed all this, such as the cancellation of the global BP and the cancellation of promotion and demotion, which have exposed the problems of this system.
Curing of lifting and lowering levels
First of all, the mechanism of relegation has now been abolished, which will give people the illusion that even if I mess up and mix again this season, I will not be relegated, which is actually a negative game attitude in itself. I don't fight for the championship, I won't be relegated and I won't be punished accordingly, which directly makes the SAB grouping into a solidified form, and it is only a few teams that go over and over again, without any novelty.
Dark horses are almost impossible to see
For any fair-play game game, the audience's favorite thing is not that the strong team has always won the championship and has been sitting on the altar, but when a strong team has only one hand to cover the sky, there will be an unknown team, a dark horse appears, and the team suffers a big loss. Such a game has unlimited possibilities to make the audience feel more and more exciting, some teams are indeed in Group B or Group A, and the audience naturally thinks that these teams and these teams in Group S do not have the strength to fight, but the charm of competitive games is that until the last moment, victory will never be spent in advance.
Manifestation of the Matthew effect
Under such a state grouping rule, the strong team will only be stronger, and the weak team will only be weaker, such a rule is actually very easy to understand. Because for the team thing, any team owner must value the commercial value of this league, if I am assigned to Group B and Group A, then I have a great lack of attention, because the attention is all in Group S. Lack of attention I will be difficult to liquidate, after the difficulty of monetization my team has no funds, it is actually impossible for me to continue to spend money in the state of loss-making operation.
So there will be a strong team configuration of the cradle of the strong team is getting better and better, but all the players with some talent will choose to join the strong team, rather than eating among the weak team and waiting for death, because in such a format, it is impossible to defeat the whole league with one person, so the official should indeed consider whether to make some adjustments to the current format.
