Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The first stage of the LOL Global Pioneer is underway, and there were a lot of questions at the end of the first two days, with many spectators questioning Riot's setting for the first stage.
And in the process, there was an important revelation.
Last year, Riot announced the changes to this year's event, and at that time, Riot made it clear that the first stage would use the two-sided dreadnought recruitment mode for the whole process, which is the familiar global BP, while the second and third stages of the event Riot did not explain more, and this needs to be implemented in each of the different regions.
The China-South Korea division has carried out a competition system reform for the new events of Riot, and there is no mention of the mode of the second and third stages during this period, everyone thinks with normal logic, and they all default to the traditional BP mode in the later stages, which means that heroes can be reused.
But this year, the viewing value of global BP has been significantly improved, and many viewers will have a feeling that after watching the stage of global BP, they feel that the normal traditional BP mode of the game is not so good.
It's okay if you don't introduce global BP, after the introduction everyone likes it, then going back to before will make people feel a sense of gap.
As a result, foreign media Sheep Esports gave an important revelation, bluntly saying that Riot has officially decided that all the remaining games this year will adopt the Dreadnought recruitment mode, including the five major leagues, MSI and S15 World Finals.
As soon as the news came out, most of the audience agreed, thinking that this was the best choice, originally thought that Riot had determined that the second and third stages of this year are traditional BP mode, and it may take to change the global BP until next year, but Riot saw the advantages of global BP, and directly changed the BP mode of the remaining two stages in advance, so that there is no need to wait another year.
I believe you don't have to doubt too much about the accuracy of this revelation, and the official media's revelations have always been accurate.
Another advantage of this is that everyone feels that the event setting of the global BP is not good enough in the first stage, the gold content of this event in the Global Pioneer is obviously not high, and the winners of each major region do not all win the championship title.
If only the first stage is a global BP, the gold content of the champion team of the global BP is not high, which makes the audience feel unreasonable, but if all stages are global BP, it is acceptable that the Pioneer champion has no gold content.
Once it is said that all stages of the game will adopt the global BP, it means that League of Legends e-sports will usher in a new era, which is completely different from the previous ten years of play, the previous BO5 event will have a player use the same hero in five games, and now the player must change the hero, and the team also needs to change other tactical systems.
For the players, the test of the team's coaching staff is very huge, and I personally think that this is an opportunity for the LPL, requiring the players to improve the thickness of their hero pool more.
The LCK team has been showing a strong posture in recent years, and the variability of tactics and BP makes it difficult for LPL teams to deal with it, which is the gap between the two regions, and the LCK can obviously be more adapted to the global BP model.
As for whether the global BP is really reasonable enough and whether it is suitable for cup competitions with greater gold content, such as MSI and S competitions, it still needs to be tested through actual competitions, and it is certain that the script of the global BP and the world competition in non-global BP mode will definitely be different, and the championship is also very likely to change.
To put it simply, you can win the championship in the traditional BP mode, but you may not be able to win the championship in the global BP mode, and this year's World Championship will be held in China, so you can look forward to seeing what kind of plot will happen.
