Currently, League of Legends is undoubtedly the most popular esports game in the world. As the MOBA lives its 12th competitive season, whether we like the game or not, we owe it to ourselves to respect its longevity and updating. ERLs have a growing following, although viewership in Europe is small compared to LECs. On the Asian side, Chinese and Korean fans are always more fanatical.
The game runs with regular patches that introduce new features and balances. Players are encouraged to adapt and evolve with the game, resulting in a constantly new experience. Competitive format could soon see the real thing revolution By introducing a new rule. The second will be tested Chinese. If the test passes, we can imagine seeing this rule later in the rest of the world.
The “Intrepid” mode, what is it?
We don’t know a league that doesn’t use it today Classic outline mode For League of Legends competition. But other regimes have tried right to left in the past… We remember that South Korea had a particularly blind choice that allowed mirror matchmaking in boss matches. It is in this context that we had the right to play on it between Faker and Ryu. Zed versus Zed. It would be impossible to witness such a confrontation today. Once a team has chosen a champion, they cannot be drafted again.
In China, LDL will use “Fearless” mode on the Bo3. Therefore, the team will only be able to face the champion once in the series. For example, if Team A chooses Sejuani’s top in Game 1, Team A cannot repeat the runner in Game 2 and Game 3. No matter the result (winner/loser) and role qu ‘he plays. to play. Champion (Best/Jungle/Up). On the other hand, team B can always play Szechuan on its side. The goal of this Fearless game mode is clear: to force teams to use their resources and offer more. Variation the viewers.
What is LDL?
This new format will be tested in China LDL. LDL Development League LPL and not a major league qualifier for the world. There is no opportunity for promotion with the franchise system. Some call it the Academic League, but that’s shorthand. In LDL we actually find 17 academic teamsFrom LPL (WE Academy, AL.Young, BLG Junior…) 7 independent teams (TWO, Orange Team, Summit Team…).
It is not yet known how the Fearless mode will affect league and playoff competitiveness. But if the results are convincing, we can consider this new rule from Riot Games in LPL and other major leagues.
