With the ep's four consecutive titles, the 2022 CFM Champions Cup has come to a successful end. In this Champions Cup, the emergence of the BO7 format reflects the reform and development of the Champions Cup event. Looking at the duels in the knockout stage of this Champions Cup, the participating teams showed a unique style under the BO7 format.
Different modes of maps to test the team's comprehension ability
With the emergence of the BO7 format in the Champions Cup, the participating parties will no longer select maps, and the appearance of the participating maps will test the team's ability to understand different maps.
Take, for example, the satellite base map, which tests how to use the attacking side to establish a point difference in the first half when the team is a lurker, so as to gain the initiative in the game.
In ep-AG's matchup, AG had beaten EP in the group stage with extra time from satellite base. When EP and AG played each other again at satellite bases in the knockout stage, EP established a 7-point difference in the first half, which became the foreshadowing for EP to win the AG and take the lead in reaching the final of the Dragon Teng Cup.
Taking the new Desert TD as an example, the team mode map is in the fourth place, which tests whether the other team can find its own counterattack through the fast-paced mode after winning a 3-point advantage. Through the duel between EP and AG, when EP scored a 3-point advantage, AG used the play of Fengyang and Walker to win the initiative of the team mode, and won the map with a 13-point difference to win a round.
Whether it is EP's revenge at the satellite base or AG's pullback in team mode, this reflects that the two teams can make the best handling according to the team's situation under the BO7 format, and this also reflects that the two teams have different understanding of the map.
BO7 battle, the result is full of unknowns
So far, the 4-3 result has only appeared twice, and the participants include eStar. Among them, eStar played R.LGD and BS respectively, and finally eStar defeated the opponent twice with a score of 4-3 to qualify for the next round.
In the eStar vs. R.LGD showdown, the pressure on eStar, which was the dominant side, rose sharply when R.LGD beat eStar 10-5 on the submarine to tie the score. For eStar, the victory of the seventh inning is related to whether eStar can advance. Fortunately, in the final set, eStar stabilized its position and established a 7-point difference in the first half, and finally won the R.LGD to advance.
In the match between eStar and BS, eStar was once again equalized by the opponent, and in the final round satellite base, eStar's victory in the final leg of the second half dragged the game into extra time. In the subsequent overtime match, the score of the two alternately rose and finally entered the golden overtime. With eStar at a disadvantage, the good thing is that the ding-dong cat's kill streak helped eStar turn the tide and win.
The two 4-3 results reflect that the Format of the Champions Cup BO7 is full of more variables. For the participating teams, even after the opponent has scored 2 points in a row, they can still complete the score chasing in subsequent matches to turn the situation around. The BO7 format not only provides the participating teams with the possibility of chasing points, but also allows players to enjoy more intense and exciting matchups.
Under the format system of the Champions Cup BO7, whether it is the timely adjustment of the participating teams on different maps or the amazing endurance of the participating teams, this reflects the success of the BO7 format. In the subsequent events, regardless of whether the BO7 format will appear again, I believe that the participating teams have the ability to adapt very quickly, bringing players a more exciting visual feast.
