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

It is currently in the transfer period stage of the LPL, and all major teams are operating related matters related to the transfer period, and there has been no official announcement yet, and the LCK side is also relatively quiet, only T1 has released an official announcement on the renewal of the contract.

During this period, the LPL alliance officially announced RA's withdrawal from the alliance.

Major events in the alliance, official buyback places

Time back to before the start of the S14 World Championship, when Han Yi broke the news that there would be teams in the LPL to withdraw from the league next year, and then successively broke the news that RA and IG teams would withdraw from the league, but what I didn't expect was that things reversed after that, and the IG team got the investment and was ready to form a traffic team, which has also become one of the most anticipated teams in this transfer period.

The RA side has carried out a wave of "debunking rumors", but this wave of rumors seems to be insufficient, because RA is a club, and the withdrawal of a team in the League of Legends division from the league does not mean that the club withdraws.

Sure enough, the official announcement of LPL came, and the news of RA's withdrawal from the alliance was officially announced yesterday.

Previously, everyone was most concerned about how the LPL teams would withdraw from the league, whether to sell the places to others, or whether the LPL would directly reduce the number of teams from 17 to 16.

As a result, yesterday the LPL league officially gave the answer, which is also a big event in this transfer period, the LPL official is to personally go down and buy back the team places, that is to say, the LPL side will pay RA to let RA withdraw from the league, and the number of teams in the LPL division will be reduced from 17 to 16.

Club alliance negotiation requires a process

The official announcement of the league this time revealed a message to the audience, that is, the league does want to help the league get out of the predicament through certain measures, and actively spend money to reduce the number of places, in order to improve the bloated volume of the league, you must know that the price of LPL league seats is still relatively expensive.

In the years when the LPL region was at its peak, a league seat could reach a sky-high level through auction, and there was a lot of capital that wanted to enter the LPL league at that time, and the value of relegation and relegation was also very large.

But now the LPL seat is not so valuable, but it will also be more expensive, here the league and the club need to negotiate a mutually acceptable price, first of all, the club that has the idea of quitting tells the league that it wants to withdraw, and the league will find a way, either let others buy it, or the league will spend money.

The best result for the audience is to reduce the number of places, and it seems that the reduction of one is not enough, and the LPL league can not afford to reduce the number of places, maybe only one place will be reduced this year, and it is expected that other teams will have to line up later, and the reduction of one seat will be a positive help to the league, but it is certainly not that big.

Under the global BP, can LPL show vitality?

After RA withdrew, a total of 16 teams in the LPL will be easier to operate under the group or the new format, and next year the LPL will also reform the competition system again, because Riot introduced a new international tournament in March, and it is expected that before March, the LPL will conduct a global BP mode cup to determine a team to participate in the new international tournament.

Personally, I think that the cup nature of the game plus the global BP can well attract the attention of the audience, and its excitement is definitely much higher than that of the league, because of the nature of elimination, so many middle and lower teams, if they don't work hard to compete, there will be no game.

The key is to see if the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the LPL rankings can achieve an upset in the mode of global BP, and the reason why the previous league is not good is that there are a lot of garbage games.

In the future, LPL will definitely have to speed up the pace to reduce the number of league seats, and I personally think that it is better for the league size of LPL to be reduced to 12 teams, and it is better to integrate talents as much as possible to improve the enjoyment of the game, and the strong teams decided will have more opportunities to play well in international competitions.
