Previously, the World Glory League listed November-February as the first season, but in fact, there were about 3 months before and after.

The second season is from March to September, which is about 5 months.

So after discussion, it was officially decided to change the time of the second season to March-June, until the end of the second Glory.

A new Season 3 has been added, but Season 3 is mainly a cup match and finally a Glory match.

Before the start of each season, the team's main substitute list needs to be submitted, and once the season starts, personnel can only be changed within the list, which is not particularly different from before.

It will be enacted in conjunction with the prohibition of drugs.

……

From 2 seasons to 3 seasons, it doesn't really seem to make a difference.

In fact, in this summer window, there is a lot of time to make personnel changes and personnel adjustments to deal with the Glory game, so as to make the Glory game more intense and exciting.

So any ESL, or a lot of invitational tournaments, can be a game for team training and running-in.

In this case, there is no harm in doing anything.

That's big news.

This means that before the start of Glory4, each team can make personnel changes and adjustments.

Zhou Yang touched his chin, and vaguely felt that this game might not be so easy to play.

After the meeting, Bai Yuye and Zhou Yang immediately flew back to the club and started their own adjustment period, of course, there will be simple exercises every day to ensure the feel.

Shortly after Zhou Yang returned to Baishan.

The World Glory Alliance officially launched the two bills passed at the meeting, and the promulgation of the drug ban also made everyone's little discomfort disappear.

Since then, the esports scene has returned to its purity.

Regarding the implementation of Season 3, many teams have also started to make moves before Glory4 starts!

Personnel changes have begun, and more team personnel changes are also to rush for a place in the main tournament of Glory4.

Finally before the start of the domestic break in each country.

The distribution of Glory4 places and the confirmed directly invited teams have all been announced!

……

The World Glory Alliance: Glory4 World Glory Invitational will kick off on August 25 in Beijing, China.

A total of 36 teams from all over the world from five continents will participate in the competition.

Each team that has won two seasons in each region will qualify for the Glory4 Finals.

……

The 11 directly invited teams are the distribution of 20 championships in 2 seasons, and all the teams are defending their titles except for the CIS region, which has two different championships in 2 seasons.

After all, the general team adjustment will not be between the first season and the second season, mainly after the Glory match.

Therefore, if the strength of the team does not change much, it is difficult for the champion to fall aside.

11 teams will be invited directly, and the other 25 places will be contested by other teams according to the specific places in each region.

The specific distribution of places is as follows:

South Korea: (5 direct invitations + 6 World Qualifiers)

23 direct invitations, that is, 11+23, 34 places to directly enter the main tournament of Glory4.

There are still 2 places to be determined in the World Qualifiers, and 36 teams will play a four-day World Qualifier from August 19 to August 22, and the final two teams will be in the Glory main event.

A total of 36 teams.

……

As with previous years' format, there is no difference.

It is worth noting that if there is a tie, according to Glory's event principles, it is necessary to play a team battle in the play-off Bo1 to determine the ranking.

For example, if the two sides are in 4th place in the group at the same time, there is a tie in the situation, and in the past, the ranking will be determined according to the number of heads, but on the stage of Glory4, a Bo1 team battle will be held alone, which is also known as a "battle of life and death".

The total number of match days is 11 match days.

The 14-day race is the longest of the races.
