What's the difference between kpl Challenger Cup and Winter Crown Cup?
After the KPL Autumn Tournament, a new round of Challenger Cup will begin. It looks like a brand-new event, but it's not. Its predecessor was the familiar Winter Champions Cup, and now it is renamed the Challenger Cup.
Event introduction
In the trials, 9 teams of 4-6 players in KPL Autumn Competition, 2-4 players in K-A Autumn Competition and 3 players in National Competition1-competed for 4 official places through the contest of BO 1. Compared with previous winter champions, the number of KPL teams in Challenger Cup has decreased, while the number of K-A teams and national competition teams has increased, which is also in line with the theme of "challenge" and further distinguishes it from the positioning of world champions.
There are no more group matches in the main stage. After the champion and runner-up team of 202 1 KPL Autumn Tournament was divided into two and a half areas as seed teams, other teams drew lots fairly and directly entered the elimination stage of BO7 global BP, which also made the lottery result more exciting and the schedule more compact.
