La LJL se une a la PCS

A

Sorprende, la crearon hace poco y es la más reciente, y al menos han llegado al main event no como la LLA que ahí sigue

Starting next season, the League of Legends Pacific Championship Series (PCS) ecosystem will continue its expansion to include the League of Legends Japan League (LJL). This follows the inclusion of the League of Legends Circuit Oceania (LCO) earlier this year.

This evolution is part of our multi-year strategy to strengthen the League esports ecosystem in the Asia Pacific region. There is still a lot of work to be done, and we’ll have more updates in the future. But for now, we wanted to share our key principles that will guide the development of League esports in the region:

Create a unified, Pacific league that can become a powerhouse in the global League of Legends Esports ecosystem. We hope that by giving teams a chance to test their mettle against other strong competitors on a pan-regional level, we can improve the quality of all pro teams and foster a higher level of competition across a multi-tiered ecosystem.
Improve the fan experience by providing quality broadcast products in English, Japanese, Mandarin, and Cantonese, and more hyper-local experiences across the region. Fans can look forward to diverse matchups between existing PCS teams, LJL, and LCO teams. And it will be easier than ever to get league updates and match information via unified PCS social channels.
Create a more sustainable esports ecosystem where pro players and organizations can grow. This consolidation is the first step towards providing pro teams with a bigger platform with new fan bases and viewership potential.

LJL players will also now be considered residents of the PCS, which means they can join any team within the PCS ecosystem without being considered an import player. However, LJL teams will still require to have at least three Japanese players on their roster.
ROADMAP

Similar to when LCO joined the PCS ecosystem last season, the LJL will continue to play its domestic season in Japan. Then, the top three teams from LJL will seed into the PCS Playoffs and compete with other PCS and LCO teams for a spot at international events such as MSI and Worlds.

The first placed team from the Spring Split will enter MSI, while the top two teams from the Summer Split will qualify for Worlds.

PCS PLAYOFFS FORMAT

The top three teams from the LJL will move onto the PCS Playoffs, where they will join the top six teams from the PCS and the top two teams from the LCO. The PCS Playoffs will now be divided into two stages, with three top seeds placed directly into Stage Two.

In Stage One, teams will be split into Groups A and B, competing in a double-elimination format with winners of each group advancing. The remaining teams will compete to become the Lower Bracket winners of their groups. The two victors will then compete in an Advancement Match for the final Stage Two spot.

In Stage Two, the six qualified teams go to battle as they make their way through a double-elimination bracket to be crowned the best team in the Pacific.

LOOKING FORWARD
This approach to enhance the competitiveness of our sport will continue for years to come. We recognise that this is a big change, and we expect there to be some growing pains as we expand the league. However, we are confident that this development will ultimately help to make our league more sustainable for the future.

We hope you’ll continue to join us as we work to elevate the LoL Esports experience in our region even further.

me encanta como usan palabras como "strengthen the league ecosystem" o "enhance competitiveness" cuando en realidad quieren decir "hacemos recortes porque nunca ha sido rentable y ya ha quedado claro que no va a crecer más hagamos lo que hagamos"

La verdad que llama un poco la atención que todas las ligas del pacífico (menos Vietnam) se hayan unificado y con ello hayan perdido sus seeds internacionales y mientras LATAM, la peor región de largo, siga como si nada. Qué menos que unirla con NA o con Brasil, que además culturalmente tienen mucho más en común que un tailandés con un australiano.

El tema es que no es una fusión como tal. Sigue habiendo LJL solo que en playoffs se mezclan con varios equipos de PCS y LCO. Vamos que en teoría debería de subir el nivel de esta región sobretodo por parte de los equipos de la PCS.

Cada día más cerca de unificar NA, Brasil y Latam.

#7 No veo muchas razones para que suba el nivel, lo único que ha pasado aquí es que Japón, al igual que Oceanía antes que ellos, no volverá a pisar un evento internacional salvo chockeada de los taiwaneses.

Prácticamente están convirtiendo los play offs de la PCS en el play in del MSI/Worlds XD.

Me sorprende que estén haciendo esto con las ligas del sudeste asiatico pero a LLA ni se ha rumoreado algo similar teniendo peores números

Entiendo que de la CBLoL no porque están creciendo últimamente con buenos números pero podrían juntarla con la LCS

#8 Me has quitado el post.

Se acabó la era de Yutapon y Evi xd

Iba a decir "el lol se muere" pero mejor que se muera la LLA, que cosa más desastrosa de región
