Some time ago, after learning that LPL will play the mid-season Championship Cup with LCK, there was a lot of discussion online. At first, everyone thought that this was a decisive battle in the competition, but the official planned the game more inclinedly into a competition between teams, and there was only one team that could win the championship in the end. In order to increase the intensity of the competition, this competition also has a prize of 600,000 US dollars.
Just today, the highly anticipated 2020 League of Legends Mid-Season Cup competition schedule and competition system have finally been announced to the public. This time the competition system is a bit similar to mid-season , but the blind selection mode is added, making this mid-season Cup more interesting and exciting than the mid-season game!
Starting from Thursday, May 28, the top four teams from the LPL Spring Tournament will face off against the top four teams from the LCK Spring Tournament!
group stage will be divided into two groups, including 1st and 4th place in the spring season in the LPL or LCK area, and 2nd and 3rd place in the spring season in another area. So I got the following grouping:
A group: T1, TES, FPX, DWG
B group: JDG, GEN, DRX, iG
0 The competition schedule starts on May 28, and the competition will be held first by Group A. The game starts at 3 pm, and the opening match is FPX vs T1! The second game is TES vs DWG! The game on May 29 also started at 3 pm. The first game JDG vs GEN, and the second game iG vs DRX!
This mid-season Cup will adopt the 10.10 version, and the group stage adopts the BO1 single round-robin system. Each team will play three games in the group, and the teams with the top two points will advance! Both the semi-finals and finals will adopt the BO5 system, and! will enable the blind selection mechanism in the first game of BO5 in each game!
Many new players watching the game may be a little unfamiliar with the blind selection mode. What is the blind selection mode? To put it simply, it is the matching mode that everyone usually plays in League of Legends. As early as 2013, during the OGN (Korean League) period in South Korea, BO5's decisive game would adopt a blind selection mode. Without a ban position, each team can choose their best heroes and lineup, and you can't know what heroes the other party will choose.
Faker's battle to become famous was that in the blind selection mode, he chose to rob and staged a famous scene of "double robbery war and debuting as a god".
In addition, the poster of this mid-season Champions League has also changed. In the previous mid-season Champions League posters, except for knighttml2, all the rest were Korean players. In addition to Rookie as the face of iG, JDG and FPX were replaced by domestic players. JDG was replaced by FMVP player Lvmao in the Spring Tournament final, and FPX was replaced by FMVP player Tian from Doinb to S9 World Championship. It can be seen that the official has also heard everyone's voice.
For some fans, this Mid-Season Cup is just a friendship exchange, and they can learn from each other's advantages of other competition areas; while for another part of fans, they think this is not just a friendship exchange, but also a friendship exchange, but also a friendship honor.
LPL and LCK regions have been in hot competition for many years. In the past few years, even in the World Championship, only the teams in LCK regions were concerned about. This competition is the first cross-district event since the S10 revision. Which competition area has the style more suitable for the current version? Which division has a deeper understanding of the game version? In this competition, we can also reveal the answer to everyone.
Of course, no matter which kind of fan you are, Xiaofan hopes that everyone can look at this event with a calm mind. Although the "China-Korea War" has been hyped up, the most important awards in the League of Legends competition will always be the World Championship, and the teams' goals are more world champions and more signature skins. So as long as the teams in the LPL region can play their own style, the result of the game doesn't matter.
Today’s content ends here. What do you think of this Mid-Season Cup? Which two identical heroes do you want to see in the blind selection mode? Welcome to leave your answer in the comment section.
