Taking a look at Excel’s New Roster Forward of 2023 LEC Winter
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 correct 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 monumental positives for the scene as a maintain.
The primary change is merging the challenger and predominant 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 power to play within the LCK. This may maintain younger gamers from being trapped within the challenger scene. Groups that will likely be close to the underside of the standings may have rather more alternative to develop and showcase new expertise. This ought to be an general nice change for the league as a complete.
The second main change they introduced was the addition of double elimination into the LCK playoffs. That is big and may assist enable one of the best 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 may assist create among the most enjoyable video games within the LCK. The perfect half means we’re getting extra greatest of 5 collection.
The LCK has additionally carried out modifications to the scheduling of the video games and their begin occasions. Recreation 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 may now work to place prime matchups on the weekends that they may decide by earlier success, storylines, and rivalries. No extra mid-week T1 vs Gen.G matchups. These modifications will create an incredible viewing setting for the entire world.
The LCK has really cemented itself as one of the best scene in League of Legends and continues to push for constructive modifications for each gamers and viewers. All of those modifications are extremely helpful for viewers world wide and I hope the opposite League world wide take notice.
