After the saddening information of the modifications within the LCS and the general look of the league being pushed to the aspect for Riot’s new NA darling Valorant it has been nice to see that the LCK the Premier League scene has continued to develop and development in the appropriate instructions.
This week the LCK launched a number of completely different bulletins detailing the modifications for the upcoming break up all of which I see as having huge positives for the scene as a maintain.
The primary change is merging the challenger and essential rosters to create a singular unified roster. This idea ought to assist all rosters make extra modifications and permit for extra up-and-coming abilities the flexibility to play within the LCK. This can maintain younger gamers from being trapped within the challenger scene. Groups that shall be close to the underside of the standings could have rather more alternative to develop and showcase new expertise. This ought to be an total nice change for the league as an entire.
The second main change they introduced was the addition of double elimination into the LCK playoffs. That is large and will assist permit the perfect groups within the League to win and permit a lot fewer flukey groups. Gone are the times of automated finals for the first-place winners of the previous and the only elimination of the previous few years. Double elimination is right here and will assist create among the most enjoyable video games within the LCK. The perfect half means we’re getting extra greatest of 5 sequence.
The LCK has additionally carried out modifications to the scheduling of the video games and their begin occasions. Sport occasions are actually beginning at 10 P.M and 12:30 A.M PST which is a godsend for an NA-based viewer. Not solely this they’ll now work to place prime matchups on the weekends that they’ll decide by earlier success, storylines, and rivalries. No extra mid-week T1 vs Gen.G matchups. These modifications will create a terrific viewing surroundings for the entire world.
The LCK has actually cemented itself as the perfect scene in League of Legends and continues to push for optimistic modifications for each gamers and viewers. All of those modifications are extremely useful for viewers world wide and I hope the opposite League world wide take observe.
