. The LOL League of Legends S5 was released. The new rules for the knockout were issued. As the team of the 2015 Global Finals will be finalized, the system editor will introduce the system of the finals to help you better understand the competition. In addition to the explanation of the structure of the competition, we will also introduce you to the relevant information.
The System The 2015 Global Finals will consist of four parts: the group stage, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals and the finals. These four parts are divided into two phases: in the two-week period of the group stage, 16 teams will compete with each other in a single-game double-cycle manner, that is, each team will have two teams with the other teams in the same group. A non-continuous BO1 match. The 16 teams will be divided into four groups on average. There will be a total of 12 regular games in each group. If there is a team with a tie level, there may be an extra tie. The 16 teams will be assigned to different groups according to the lottery. There is no change in the competition system at this stage compared to 2014. The knockout stage The group stage will determine 8 teams to enter the knockout stage. This stage will use the BO5 system. The knockouts include quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals. New changes in 2015 In the preparations for the 2015 Global Finals, we made some improvements to the overall structure of the competition. First of all, in order to improve the transparency of the grouping, this year's group draw will be broadcast live. In addition, we feel that the previous group match mode is somewhat unsatisfactory — — some teams in order to get a certain advantage in the knockout stage, may play very lax, thus losing the meaning of competition. Thus, based on the rules of maintaining the group's first hit next group, we introduced some random factors. In September, we will share more details about the group draw. Let's first look at what the so-called random factor specifically refers to. Group Lottery As the opening of the 2015 Global Finals, the team draw will divide each team into four groups A, B, C, and D as shown below.
In addition to some adjustments in the international wild card game, the composition of the team in the 2015 Global Finals is not much different from that in 2014. The first team pool consists of the first team in China, Europe, Korea and North America; the second team pool includes the second and third places in the China and South Korea, the top two in the LMS league, North America and Europe. The second place; the third team pool has the third place in North America and Europe, and two outbound teams in the International Wild Card. Each team will include a team in pool 1, two teams in pool 2, and a team in pool 3. Group Lottery Process Same as last year, in order to maximize the fighting between the divisions, the group draw has a fundamental principle: · there will be no two teams from the same area in each group. The draw will queue the teams in each team in the order of A-B-C-D-A-B-C-D……. When all teams in a team pool complete the grouping, they will enter the next team pool. However, due to the existence of the aforementioned principles, a team may be unable to join the current team, and then it will be divided into the next available team. For example: a South Korean team is the ninth team to be drawn. In theory, this team should join the A group, but in the A group and the B group, there is already a Korean team, then we will This team is placed in the next available group (in this case, the C group). In addition, there are some additional rules when grouping, and we will introduce them to you before the lottery ceremony begins. Knockout Matches In the past few finals, we will arrange for the playoffs based on the performance of each line team in the group stage. But this year is different, the opponents in the quarter-finals are uncertain. This change is to encourage the teams to fully play in the group stage and to play their best. The playoffs will be confirmed immediately after the end of the final day of the group stage and will be broadcast live. In the mid-final decision of the 2015 global finals, there are two fundamental principles: · the team with the team's first qualifying team must be the team with the second team; · In the same half, there will be no two teams from the same team. The first principle can be seen as a reward for teams that perform better during the group stage, and the second principle is to avoid the same match before the finals as the group stage. Based on the previous principles, we will divide the team that entered the quarter-finals into two teams: the first team (A1, B1, C1, D1) and the second team (A2, B2). , C2, D2). The match mode will be determined according to the following process: First, all the teams in the first pool will be randomly selected, and then fill the left space in the map from top to bottom. For example: B1 is the first team to be drawn and will be placed on the left side of the top of the map. The next step is A1, then it will be placed in the order to the left of the next game. And so on. When the first pool is completed, it will be the turn of the team in the second pool. When extracting the second pool, because there are no two teams from the same team because they are in the same half, so a team may not be able to join a certain match, then the team will be divided. Enter the next viable match.
The above picture is an example: If A2 is drawn from the second pool, then the team must join the first (top to bottom) feasible slot (ie, against C1), and if If you get C2, you must play against B1, because for C2, this position is the first feasible gap. And so on. After the quarter-finals, the teams that advance to the semi-finals will decide to play according to the half of their team. Conclusion We hope that the 2015 Global Finals presented to everyone is a wonderful event. Please stay tuned and look forward to the 16 top-notch debut!
