The KPL Annual Finals is really going to change players, and the gospel of substitute players is coming!

Just after the spring finals, the rules of the KPL annual finals have been announced, and the competition system has changed dramatically compared with before, let's take a look at it specifically.

The 12 teams are divided into the Master Division (1-6 places) and the Elite Group (7-12), and this time it is not an intra-group matchup. Instead, each team in the Master Group will play against 6 teams in the Elite Group in a single round robin. And the team of the master group is in a BO5, and all the players in the 8-man squad must play. The top 4 in the Master Group will enter the knockout round, and the 5-6 will play the later breakout match. The first place in the elite group directly enters the knockout round, the 2nd-5th place plays the breakout round, and the sixth place is eliminated.

The six teams in the breakout tournament draw lots to play a BO7, and the three winning teams advance. The 8 teams in the knockout round will play a BO7 double-elimination format, which is the same as last year's World Championship.

The biggest difference in this year's finals is the rotation of masters in the ring stage, where substitutes have to play. This is a great test of the depth of the club's players.

Take AG as an example, if the pot god does not leave, then the pot god will definitely get a chance to play in the annual finals, and cat may also return to the game, in addition to finding a reliable substitute. The league also added a loan period after the summer season, that is, teams that did not make it to the annual finals can loan players, a rule that was previously in place in the CBA.

This is definitely a great benefit for those substitutes who don't have the opportunity to show themselves, and sometimes the reason for the substitutes is not necessarily not enough strength, but not the opportunity to show themselves. There are a lot of substitutes in the KPL because the starting player is sick or can't play because of something, and then they suddenly take their place.

At the annual finals, there may be substitutes who come up and play better than the starters, and then the offseason will be noticed by other teams, or the starters will simply be eliminated. Of course, this format is a difficult problem for the coaching staff, how to arrange the number of starters and substitutes, in which small game to change, three or two, there are all particulars. From the point of view of game spectacle, the gap between the strength of the strong team and the weak team may be narrowed, after all, the run-in cost of the strong team is greater, and the weak team also has more fighting spirit.

From the audience's point of view, you can see more fun. For example, if a strong team has a clean sheet in this format, then fans can ridicule that my home team's substitutes are better than your home team's starters. If you lose the game because of a substitution, then everyone will go crazy to give advice to the coaching staff.

This format may not be favored by some audiences, just like the global BP back then, it takes time to accept. In terms of format, the KPL league has achieved a high position, and even other games are learning. This year's Grand Finals format is a bold attempt, but a good format must be tried, and there is something about innovation when it has gradually gained a foothold, and the KPL league's tournament group really has something.
