PCL's Spring 2022 tournament will kick off in early March, which was previously announced by PCL's official blog, and the next door's integrated league PWS also announced their detailed schedule and intercontinental quota allocation rules today.
In fact, the PWS schedule has been announced a few years ago, but about the intercontinental quota and some of the details of the competition has not been implemented, Xiaobian simply summarized that PWS is Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea merged into an online league to start, equivalent to the previous PCL 48 team period of Allenge, Miramar and Vihandi three large groups, each group played midweek, the first eight of the South Korean group and the top four of the other two groups A total of 16 teams played the weekly final, after playing four weeks of the weekly final, The top 16 teams in terms of points play another 20 finals to determine the final ranking.
This was known before, and what was announced today is more detailed about the number of places in the continental tournament and the distribution method after the PWS is over.
First of all, the PWS will contain 8 PCS6 places, the remaining 8 places are all PCL, although the previous PCL official did not explain the pcS6 quota allocation when announcing the spring schedule, but the forum netizens basically think that the top eight of the spring game are directly obtained, and there should be no situation similar to the former PCS champion or pgc champion direct invitation.
16 Korean teams participating in PWS
Although PCL everyone thinks that there will be no riots, but the details announced by PWS this time have made some netizens dissatisfied, first of all, the blue hole in order to avoid the continental tournament completely become a "China-South Korea confrontation", so the two large groups of Japan and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan that participate in PWS, regardless of the final results, will guarantee a PCS6 quota.
In this way, the 16 teams that participated in PCS6 basically continued the 8+6+2 model of last year, but the PCL became 8 and the Korean team became 6. Of course, things will certainly not be so simple, otherwise it will not provoke domestic netizens to be dissatisfied, the most outrageous thing about this PWS is that the top 4 can also have PGC points, and if there is no accident, the second phase of PWS will also have. (Similar to spring and summer races)
In this regard, forum netizens generally think that the blue hole is not rude, to know that the selection of the 2021 world championship Most of the teams on the East Asian side are relying on the accumulation of points from the two intercontinental tournaments and advancing into pgc, take PCL, 17, kx almost did not enter, and ccg is almost a little into, so it is difficult to say how much pgc points that can be obtained in this online league will have an impact on the final result? If PCL can be increased to 8 places because of the excellent performance of pcs and pgc winning, then where is the logic that PWS can increase pgc points?
Of course, from another aspect, everyone is also generally full of confidence in the current PCL, after all, the number of places will become higher, the chances of their home team will also become larger, and there will be more teams that can participate in PGC at the end of the year.
