Foreword: Earlier, the official Weibo of PCL announced the format and list of players for this year's spring tournament, and after watching the lineups of major teams, everyone is most optimistic about NH, PeRo and 17 teams. NH, who continues to play in the original lineup, is still the biggest favorite to win the championship in this spring tournament, and returning to the points format can allow them to fully release themselves; 17shou will make a final attempt this year, neither they nor NH have made any adjustments in the lineup; and AZ and Ming, who have previously tried out 17 teams, finally came to PeRo, and also officially announced the addition of the little lions, it can be said that they spent a lot of money in this transfer period, and this lineup is not strong enough to lose to the previous 17 and NH.
The 4AM Wang Xin, who was previously fantasized by netizens, has not reconnected, and there is another player who has not appeared in this list, that is, the Mad98 of the former KX team, since the end of last year's summer game, the Mad98 that "disappeared" for nearly half a year has not reopened the live broadcast until recently, but he has not yet responded to whether the spring game will play. After the dissolution of KX, their original players were transferred to RBS, TMA and XLG teams, Xiaomeng personally believed that Mad98 was physically and mentally exhausted due to what happened in KX, and it was difficult to make up his mind to make a comeback, he did not expect that the summer game was high and low, and then there was a KX arrears of wages, until the world game KX did not bring Mad98, may really be like his self-deprecating some "life does not meet the time".
There is also news about this year's PGC points, when I saw "PCL Summer Champion will get PGC points" very early on, Xiao Meng told everyone that this means that we do not have a place for the PGC World Championship, and today the PGC points rule was announced to confirm this, but it is more unexpected that in addition to our East Asia Division, the European Division, the North American Division and the Asia-Pacific Division have a direct invitation place, is this the NH after winning the championship in exchange for "welfare"? Or are we being targeted as the championship division?
First of all, the distribution of points in each division is actually not the same, the spring champion in Europe and the Americas has 200 points, the summer champion has 300 points, the PCS6 champion has 450 points, the PCS7 champion direct invitation, the proportion of league points is much higher than ours, and our East Asia Spring Champion 40 points, summer champion 80 points, PCS6 has 200 points, PCS7 has 300 points, and the intercontinental competition has a very high score ratio. So we have a team in the division that wins the PCS6 championship and basically locks the PGC, not to mention the 300 points of the PCS7, but the East Asian division does not have a professional quota, which feels a bit disgusting.
If you have to say that the teams in the Asia-Pacific division have something to say, their leagues are not allocated points, and they can only earn PGC points if they participate in two intercontinental tournaments, so the intercontinental tournament is very important for them. There is also the same quota rules for this PGC as last year, 12 in the Asia-Pacific division, 8 in the European division, 6 in the Americas division and the Asia-Pacific division, and in order to take care of the Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and Japan divisions, there is one team to participate, and the missing seats are obtained by the highest ranked team in the division to obtain the eleventh or twelfth qualifying seeds, GEX and E36 Ecstasy.
Questions discussed in this issue: Do you think Mad98 will play this spring game?
