On September 5th, the glory of the king KPL officially announced that the East-West Division will be cancelled in 2020, and the 16 team will be changed into the same big group. Throughout the autumn regular season, each team only played against all other teams once, and finally the top ten in the standings advanced to the playoffs. Among them, the top four in the regular season are winners, and 5~ 10 are losers.
In autumn, the East and West Divisions were cancelled, which means that the KPL competition system reform has returned to the 2065 438+07 KPL Spring Competition again. So-called? The west is strong and the east is weak, and the west is strong and the winter crown? Will also become history. 20 17 After the KPL League started to be divided into A and B, the 2065 438+08 KPL Spring Tournament was divided into East and West Divisions. The competition system in the East-West Division took two years, accounting for more than half of the development history of KPL League!
The east and the west were partially abolished, and the west was strong and the east was weak.
However, how does it compare with another competition reform plan of KPL Alliance? As far as global BP is concerned, the competition system of the East-West Division has been criticized and questioned. KPL alliance seems unable to balance the overall strength of these two departments. Either the east is strong and the west is weak, or the west is strong and the east is weak. More interestingly, there has always been a saying in the history of KPL alliance that it is strong in the east, strong in the west and strong in the east.
However, this statement was finally won by TS in the KPL Spring Tournament in 2020, which broke the statement that the West was strong and the East was crowned, leaving the Yinlong Cup in the west. In the spring of 2020, the strength gap between the east and the west is further widened, and the top three in the west have the opportunity to compete for the eastern playoffs. The unfairness caused by the eastern and western regions also makes KPL alliance face great public pressure.
However, in the league history of KPL, every team has its ups and downs. There are strong times and weak times. We can't impose the team's inaction on the competition system. The alliance abolished the division between the east and the west, which seems to be for equal opportunity and fairer. But it actually increases the possibility of play-offs. As long as the points are the same and the winning and losing relationship is mixed, it is actually very possible to choose ten teams.
However, after the cancellation of the east-west division, the mixed sub-team naturally showed its true colors, and the gap between the east and the west would not be much bigger than before. However, even those teams ranked last have limited investment in this transfer period. It is probably difficult to change the problem of many mixed teams by relying on only one competition system!
However, the embarrassed king believes that the real reason for the KPL alliance to cancel the East-West split is actually the change of the home city. In 2020 KPL Autumn Tournament, four home cities will play at the same time, namely Wuhan, Nanjing, Shanghai and Nanjing. If it is divided into east and west areas in the past, eStarPro will move westward according to its geographical location. With the landing of GK in Foshan, GK will also come to the Eastern Division. As a result, there have been western branches of AG and QG. Once eStarPro joined the Western Division, the popularity of the two divisions became even more unbalanced. And with the gradual promotion of the home city policy, the significance of the East-West competition system is getting smaller and smaller!
