With XYG crushing the Fire Leopards 4-0 and securing the last ticket for a temporary seat for the 2023 KPL Spring Season, the entire November event is left with KIC trials in the KPL zone at the end of the month.
Now it's getting closer and closer to the KIC Trials at the end of November. So far, four of the eight KIC overseas competition places have been decided, namely YALLA, FUTNOVA, RED and Isurus. The remaining four places will be decided in the qualifiers for the South Korean Division.
According to online reports, 10 wild card teams will be invited to participate, and the top four will advance to the KIC main competition. At present, TRB in North America, GenG in South Korea and SZ in Japan have all been confirmed to participate. Among them, the last two teams have officially announced the squad, and both GENG and SZ have Chinese players, mainly the two core positions at present, playing wild and shooter!
Like the news we exposed before, the head coach of Japan's SZ team is Mochizuki Kusa - the former head coach of Shanghai RNGM, who once led Shanghai RNGM to set a record for the longest small game winning streak of 24 small games, and he still has certain strength. However, after the implementation of the overall BP format, Mochizuki's coaching career record is quite dismal, and he should not have a big problem playing against foreign teams!
From the official announcement map, it is not difficult to find that the SZ team's field and development road are all Chinese players, and their strength is still quite strong, they are all in their respective positions of 100 dan, and they have been on the peak race 2600, which is the top ten level of the previous peak competition. Moreover, the overseas teams that have been exposed at present are basically recruiting the two core positions of playing wild and developing roads.
From the official announcement pictures of Samsung and Japanese teams, it is not difficult to speculate that there are a number of overseas teams, and there are only two Chinese players at most. In this way, the strength of the two Chinese players is still good, at least in the overseas game, it can be regarded as a passer-by king. However, the requirements for other positions for overseas teams are quite low!
For example, Team SZ against Lurilver has only 1950 points in its peak race, and the king has 50 stars, which should be the highest score. But those who are familiar with the KPL e-sports circle know that if you only have 1950 points at the end of the peak season, it is a rather mediocre record in the passer-by bureau. If you put it in the KPL league, even the lower and lower auxiliary in Group A will have a look of 2100. This level of confrontation road, into KIC can be hoisted hammer, and 1950 points of confrontation road, I am afraid that I can't understand Ma Chao!
This middle ASD is similar to the upper road, with a peak score of 2,000 points. This segment, such as Fire Dance, Shangguan Wan'er, and Xi Shi and other partial operation mages, it is estimated that none of them can understand it. This assistance is not bad, the peak game is 2200 points, the king 80 stars, basically can keep up with the KPL auxiliary level, at least the level above the middle of Group A!
In short, the requirements for other positions of the Japanese SZ team are too low, just waiting for the field to fly with the auxiliary belt. This level is a big grab in China, no wonder KIC does not let go of the limit on the number of Chinese players, once it is released, all overseas teams are estimated to be Chinese players!
