League Championship Series Summer Split 2016: What to Expect?
Get ready, League of Legends fans! The highly anticipated League Championship Series Summer Split 2016 is just around the corner, starting on June 2, 2016. Excitement is brewing as both Europe and America gear up for this competitive event. But wait, there’s a twist! Significant changes have been introduced for this split. Europe will now feature a best of two match style, while America will adopt a best of three match style. These alterations will truly test the skills and strategies of the participating teams. Let’s delve deeper into what these changes mean for the upcoming split.
More Stream Options for Fans
One of the notable changes for this split is the introduction of multiple streams during matches. This means that viewers will have the option to choose between two matches happening simultaneously. Gone are the days of watching matches one after the other. This shift provides fans with more flexibility and the ability to follow their preferred teams more closely. Whether this is a positive or negative change is up to each individual viewer to decide.
New Match Formats: Testing the Grit of the Teams
With the introduction of the best of two and best of three match styles in Europe and America, respectively, teams will face a new challenge. Traditionally, both regions followed a best of one series format. The new series system, now similar to the formats used in Korea and China, will push the teams to perform under intense pressure. The objective behind this change is to enhance the competitiveness of these regions on the global stage, such as the Mid-Season Invitational and the World Championships. It’s worth mentioning that Riot is using a mixed format to evaluate which style is more effective before settling on a single format for the foreseeable future in both regions.
Mind Games and High-Stakes Battles
The new changes are sure to give rise to intense mind games among the teams. A victory for one team can have a devastating impact on their opponents, potentially leading to dire consequences in the next leg of the match. On the other hand, a massive win can result in an ego boost for a team, making them vulnerable to a crushing comeback by their opponents. The mental strain of quick decision-making and strategic ban phases will undoubtedly take a toll on teams that are not well-prepared for this format.
