Just a few days ago, an insider broke the news that LPL was going to adopt the global BP model for the summer competition, and about this news, it was not sure whether it was true or false a few days ago, but on the 24th, LPL officially released a video introducing the new format of the LPL summer competition, and this time the global BP is really coming!
Under the new format, the regular season will be divided into four stages, namely the draw group, the group match, the group match and the place grabbing match, the first is the draw group stage, the 17 teams will be divided into four seed pools according to the results of the spring season, according to the home avoidance principle, through parallel grouping to ensure that each group has four seed pool teams.
Then there is the fixed group stage, in the fixed group stage, the dreadnought recruitment mode will be used in the fixed group match, which is what we usually call the global BP mode, your team has completed the game in the same round of BO3, and the used heroes will not be able to be selected again, after the ranking is determined by the double round-robin BO3, the bottom two teams in each group will enter Group B, and the remaining 9 teams will enter Group A.
After the two groups complete a single round-robin BO3, the bottom four teams in Group B will be eliminated directly, the top seven teams in Group A will advance to the playoffs, and the remaining six teams will compete for the last three playoff tickets through the BO5 competition.
That is to say, in addition to the playoffs, Bo5 games are also played at different stages of the regular season, and each game is very important for each team, but it is worth mentioning that the global BP mode is not used in all links, and is only used in the BO3 part of the group match, but this also greatly tests the coaching staff of each team.
However, it can be seen that the LPL official has changed a lot, but judging from the changes in this format, this year's World Championship may not use global BP to carry out, but there is also a possibility that the Swiss round stage of the World Championship will use the global BP mode, and the traditional competitive recruitment mode will continue to be used in the knockout stage.
The adoption of global BP is definitely a good thing for the audience, in recent years, the audience has had aesthetic fatigue with the content of the game, and the heroes selected for each position are always so few, coupled with the departure of popular players, which also led to the LPL game becoming very monotonous, and indirectly led to the decline of traffic in the LPL region.
This time the reference to the global BP should be the trial stage, after all, this game mode was only used in the group stage, but in this way, if the effect is good, then all the future games may be like this mode, but through the official introduction, the length of each game in the summer game will also be extended, and the viewing will also be improved.
However, it is worth mentioning that the global BP is definitely not a simple change for players and coaches, first of all, the coaching staff must come up with more tactical reserves in order to adapt to the global BP, and the players must also expand their hero pool, after all, if you play the third game, if you don't come up with something, it is still easy to be targeted by the opponent.
As a viewer, are you looking forward to the arrival of the global BP mode?
