Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.

Riot officially announced a new event for next year a long time ago, an international event that will be held in March, and this international event will be played in the global BP mode throughout the competition.

For this reason, each major region needs to reform the competition system again, including the LPL region.

LPL is the most brutal competition system, and the pressure on players has skyrocketed

Because there are three major international events next year, the major leagues need to make adjustments accordingly, among which in the first stage, in order to adapt to the international events of the global BP, the league also has to use the global BP mode throughout the whole process, which is different from the global BP enabled by the LPL region this year, the global BP of the LPL is unilateral, and the global BP of Riot is bilateral.

Therefore, next year's global BP event will be the highlight, and the viewing level will be very high, and the pressure on the players will definitely be very high.

LPL officially announced that the first stage of the new competition system will be a cup mode similar to the previous S competition, dividing the 16 teams into four groups, and then conducting a single round robin within the group, but this single round robin needs to be noted, it is not BO1 or BO3, but a single round robin of BO5.

The top two in the group advance to the quarterfinals, and the quarterfinals will not be a traditional single-elimination tournament, but a double-elimination mode, that is to say, the first stage of the LPL will be the BO5 mode throughout the whole process, and its cruelty can be imagined, it can be said that it is the most brutal cup competition system in the history of the LPL, and the players are facing a huge hero pool test, and they have to play BO5 one after another, and the intensity is very terrifying.

There is only one championship in the whole year, and the schedule is very dense

The winner of the first stage will participate in the global BP international event, note that the winner is not the champion, under the new format, there is only one champion in the LPL throughout the year, and after the end of the first stage of the competition, enter the second stage, and the format of the second stage is similar to this year.

It is to divide the 16 teams into four groups, BO3 single round robin in the group, the top two advance to the summit group, the last two enter the Nirvana group, the group competition is BO3 single round-robin, the top four in the summit group advance, the bottom four and the top four in the Nirvana group play BO5, four teams will advance to the knockout round, and then the eight teams that advance to the knockout round will have a double-elimination mode competition to determine the two winning teams to advance to MSI.

It should be noted here that the bottom two teams in the Nirvana group in this stage will be eliminated directly, ending the annual journey of S15 ahead of schedule.

Finally, there is the third stage, there are 14 teams participating, according to the previous ranking, the top eight directly enter the summit group, the last six enter the nirvana group, and then the group directly carries out a single round robin of BO5, the top four in the summit group advance, and the bottom four and the top four in the nirvana group play BO5, to determine the eight teams that advance to the playoffs, and the double elimination tournament determines the annual champion.

Compared with the LCK region, the LPL will be more intense

Personally, I think that the upcoming S15 season can be said to be the most intensive schedule in LPL history, the most brutal competition, and the season with the most highlights, which is much more cruel and fierce than LCK, and there are not so many dense BO5 on the LCK side, especially in the first stage, LPL is to play BO5, and the LCK side is BO3 between groups first.

It can be said that the LPL's system reform this time is aimed at the global BP event championship, using more BO5 to strengthen the team's ability in the global BP mode, putting more pressure on the players, and striving to suppress the LCK on the side of the competition system, which can improve the probability of winning the championship.

The arrangement of the next two stages is also more BO5, and entering the quarterfinals will be a direct double-elimination tournament, when the audience can see a large number of BO5 duels, players and teams have to fight one after another, the strong team has a shorter time to rest, and the bad team will be eliminated faster, and there will be no games to play after the MSI is over.

I personally think this arrangement is correct, punish the bad team, and then use more intensive events to attract the attention of the audience, and I also hope that next year's LPL can show its power on the international stage.
