As the first league in the four major divisions of LOL to implement alliance, LPL can be said to have benefited a lot, the most obvious point is that the commercial value of the league has risen rapidly, and the addition of many sponsors has made LPL the hottest and most mature e-sports event in China today. However, in the eyes of some water friends, the alliance seems to have many drawbacks, for example, recently some netizens said that after the alliance, many teams in the LPL chose to spoil, which greatly reduced the viewing of some games.
In recent days, LPL viewers have posted that the system of promotion and demotion should be restored to restore the vitality of the LPL. Instead of a haphazard mess that has no relegation pressure and doesn't cost anything, as it does now. The water friends who posted it have conceived a set of plans to increase the LPL's second division league into AB groups, and the top two teams in group A can be promoted to the LPL. Such a proposal is somewhat reminiscent of the KPL next door, but such a proposal was quickly refuted by netizens in the comments section, arguing that the alliance and the cancellation of promotion and relegation are the reasons why the LPL has won three championships in the last four S-games.
Under the post proposing to cancel the promotion and demotion, some netizens left a message saying that the existence of the promotion and demotion will only make the team jealous of the pressure of relegation, and dare not boldly enable new people like now, and the final result is that the LPL will become a pool of stagnant water. And to know that the LPL won the S championship to break the LCK's domination in the S tournament, that is, after the LPL division was unified, the last few S tournaments have LPL teams reaching the final every year.
However, the key to making many netizens refute this proposal is that it is after the cancellation of promotion and relegation that the LPL League seats can be preserved, and even the value of the seats in the past two years has been rising. It is rumored that the LPL seat fee is now worth more than 100 million, and in this case, once the promotion is resumed, it will obviously make the club owner have a lot of concerns when investing. Therefore, some netizens said bluntly: "Who pays for the downgrade of a hundred million seat fees?" ”
