A few days ago, club players were rumoring that LPL was going to adopt "global BP", and everyone was gossiping, and there were all kinds of worries on the Internet.
Today, the "League of Legends Event" officially released the new LPL summer tournament plan, which can be regarded as confirming the previous rumors - but half of it.
(Previous rumors)
If you have paid attention to the LPL Spring Match, you will find that the popularity of this year's regular season has decreased significantly. Usually, the game is either a rookie pecking at each other, or a one-sided, and there are very few strong dialogues to watch.
In addition, the homogeneity of the selection of people is serious, and it has been criticized. And a few points of the summer competition system overhaul this time are mainly aimed at the regular season, trying to make the game look better.
The specific rules are more complicated, and we will summarize them a little bit below.
The first is "stage segmentation".
Under the new format, the regular season will be divided into four stages: draw groups, group matches, group matches, and place grabbing matches.
It is equivalent to adding a few class placement exams between the "midterm exam" and the "final exam", and you will be given a key game from time to time, so that the arrangement is more compact, and the weak team behind will not be rotten.
The second is "Group A and B".
There are a total of 17 teams in the group competition, divided into four groups of ABCD, the last two teams in each group will enter Group B, and the remaining 9 teams will enter Group A.
Wolong and phoenix chicks are matched together, so that the strength of the team is relatively close, the frequency of strong dialogues is increased, and the game is more interesting.
The third is the "global BP" of the group competition.
Dreadnought Draft: If your team has completed a game in the same BO3 round, used heroes will not be able to be re-selected.
At present, it is only placed in the group stage, which can be regarded as a stage test to reduce the homogeneity of the usual games. Since there will be no elimination of teams in the final stage, there is no need to worry about the impact on the subsequent Worlds.
Now the most controversial thing is the "global BP", and the Internet is complaining about learning pesticides. After all, this thing has been implemented in the KPL league of "Honor of Kings" for a long time, and many people are emotionally a little difficult to accept.
In fact, the LDL of the minor league has been engaged in global BP since 2022, so don't worry too much, no matter how bad it is, it will change from the original "A to B to B to A", and now it has become "A to C B to play A C to play B".
Anyway, it doesn't affect the playoffs, so I'll let go of the selection. Although it increases the workload of LPL players and coaches, it is definitely a good thing for us viewers.

Due to the requirements of the hero pool, it is even possible to give the substitutes more opportunities to play. After all, compared to traditional sports, esports substitutes are basically decorations and rarely have the opportunity to appear.
Like the pesticide next door, everyone is ridiculing that the KPL is already a "BAN player" - a joke, the real situation is that each team in the KPL has a rule of 10 players, and then each substitute plays at least one game.
The pesticide itself has a large player base, and there are many newcomers to the KPL, and the replacement is fast. And players playing international competitions, you know, don't have to consider the synchronization of the world championship like LPL. Therefore, the reform of the competition system is relatively unrestrained.
The factors considered by the two sides are not the same, and it is impossible to copy them all, such as the "global BP" is currently only a phased test of the water in the LPL, and it is unlikely to be fully promoted.
So don't worry too much, it's more practical to pay more attention to the game and the players themselves.
