2015 LCS SUMMER SPLIT RULES CHANGES
By RiotNickAllen - Fri 22/05
Before we add or modify any policy in the LCS ruleset, we go through an in-depth process as outlined in our changes to the 2015 LCS official rules post at the start of the season. To provide context and transparency around our policy decisions, here’s a recap of some of critical rule changes that we’re implementing for the LCS Summer Split.
我们在添加或修改任何一项LCS的比赛规则前,都要经过一番深入考量。早在2015 LCS赛季开始，我们就发布了改动的大致通知.为了保证我们决策的依据与透明性,这里提供今年夏季赛中将实施的参赛规则改动前瞻：
BEST INTERESTS OF LCS
In rare circumstances, new issues can emerge in the LCS that are not covered by the official ruleset. Some of these issues can be resolved in the following split’s rule changes but some situations require immediate action, To address this, we’re adding a rule that would allow LCS officials to rule on emergent matters in areas not directly covered in our ruleset. This wouldn’t be an extension of authority, but would allow us to pivot quickly when pro, team or competitive integrity are threatened - for example in the case of Kori/MYM - and to be precise about what needs to change rather than invoking a general clause.
在极少数情况下,会出现LCS官方参赛规则覆盖不了的问题.一些问题可以在接下来的赛季中解决,而其他一些情况则需要立即采取行动.为了解决这种情况,我们将引入新规则,处理LCS参赛中的突发情况.这并不意味着要放宽授权,而是要保证我们能够迅速解决团队竞争公平性相关问题——例如MYM电竞 俱乐部KORI的案例。
This ruling will only be used in extreme circumstances that requires immediate attention in order to protect the health of the LCS and we’ll always give full context into how we weighed our decisions when any major actions are taken.
为保证LCS参赛的健康状态,这条规只会用在非常极端的情况下.而一旦发生我们会提供充足的决策背景.
Mid-Series and Mid-Week Substitutions
With the evolution of competitive League of Legends, we’ve seen substitutes become more integral to the team. Currently in the LCS, substitutes are used mainly as a backup plan in case of an emergency. We want to continue to reinforce the value of substitute players so we’re introducing of Mid-Series and Mid-Week Substitutions into the LCS. This would mean that teams can change their roster between Day 1 and Day 2 of an LCS week - and between games within a series during Playoffs. By allowing Mid-Series and Mid-Week Substitutions, we’d be able to bring an additional level of strategy to an LCS team. Since this is a significant change to the League, for Playoffs we’re going to cap rosters at six. Depending on how we feel this change is received, we may adjust that number in the future. This change also provides stability and additional value for substitute players to LCS teams by offering more potential for experience on the LCS stage. We want substitute players to continue to be a valued part of the LCS and any team roster.
随着LOL竞赛的改革,我们见证了替补对队伍是不可或缺的，但目前LCS比赛中替补仅是用来处理紧急情况的方案。我们要继续强调替补队员的价值,为以我们引入Mid-Series and Mid-Week概念，团队可以在LCS周的第一天和第二天改变他们的参赛名单,或者在季后赛期间做出改动.通过允许Mid-Series和MID WEEK用替补,更能组建一支具备额外战略水平的LCS团队。因为这是英雄联盟一个重大改变,我们将参赛名单上限暂设为6人.我们未来也可以调整这个数字，这取决于我们得到的反馈.这项改动为更多替补队员提供LCS比赛经验,方便发掘他们个人的潜在价值
Increasing Mandatory Substitutes
We want to continue to ensure that teams are able to field a roster when emergencies arise. With the current minimum substitute limit, we still see situations where teams struggle to properly fill their roster in emergencies. In order to ensure that teams are able to continue to compete even in an emergency, we are increasing the mandatory minimum substitute players required from two to three. More eligible players would provide a better opportunity for teams to always be able to maintain a roster and allow for more flexible, strategic decisions to be made with their lineup.
增加强制性的替补队员
我们希望进一步确认每一支队伍都能够在紧急情况下给出替补名单.在当前最低替补数量的限制下,我们看到有的团队仍在努力填补他们的紧急名单。为了确保所有团队都能够应付紧急情况,我们正强制要求队伍替补队员下限由两人增加到三人。更多合格的队员会使团队名册更稳定,也增加该团队阵容和战略决策的灵活性，一举两得.
Increasing the Minimum Ranking of Substitute Players
We want to encourage teams to field serious substitute players and limit the potential abuse of teams registering substitutes who may not be a legitimate competitive asset if called upon. For Summer Split, we’re increasing the minimal ranking to Diamond III from Diamond V. We’ll continue to monitor the minimum ranking over time of substitute players to ensure players are meeting the minimal level of skill to compete among the talent in the LCS.
提高替补人员段位下限
我们希望鼓励队伍发展正式的替补,而不是滥竽充数.在夏季赛我们对最低段位要求从钻石 III增加到钻石V段。我们将持续审视这个段位要求从而来保证替补人员能够在LCS中合格达标.
The interregional movement policy (IMP) serves an important purpose in helping regions to balance between local and foreign talent in their professional and semi-professional teams. We are streamlining IMP classifications in an effort to improve clarity. Players have in the past been categorized as “Residents,” (Rs) “Exempt Non-Residents,” (ENRs) and “Non-Residents” (NRs.) We are now eliminating the ENR classification and have asked all players who were formerly ENRs to make a choice of which region they would like to declare as their sole region of residency. That means a player who could play as an ENR in NA or a Resident in Korea will now have to commit to one region for the duration of this split.
全球区际流动政策（IMP）主要目的是帮助专业和半专业团队平衡本地和外国人才的比例。我们正在简化IMP的分类,以提高辨析度。在过去，队员被归类为“居民”(Rs)“豁免非居民,”(ENR)和“非居民”(NRs)。我们现在正消除ENRs这一类别并要求此类队员必须明确他们的唯一居住地。这意味着在同一个赛季双重居民身份的玩家现在只能对其中一个区际效力
While we want to clarify the policy, given that this change is happening in between LCS splits we also want to make sure players aren't feeling stuck between playing for their current team or being able to leave EU/NA next year. As a result, while we are having former ENRs declare which one region they want to be a resident of for this split, we will also allow them to re-declare residency again prior to the start of the 2016 season.
我们想要申明这项政策是仅作用于不同赛季，并不希望玩家在区际选择的问题上感到困扰.因为此区际身份在下个赛季到来之前可以重新选择。
PLAYOFFS SIDE SELECTION
To prevent last minute side selection from being used as a strategic advantage and allow teams to more properly prepare for Playoffs, we’re requiring that all teams lock their side selection choices along with their starting roster 72 hours before the start of their series. This allows all teams to have equal time and information to prepare for Playoffs and prevent delayed side selection confirmations from being leveraged as potential competitive advantage.
季后赛阵营选择
为防止有队伍故意拖延阵营选择战略性当作竞争优势，也同时让团队更合理地为季后赛做准备，我们要求所有团队季后赛开始前72小时内锁定他们的参赛阵营和名单。这样一来所有团队都有相等的时间和信息为季后赛做准备,防止有意拖延阵营选择作为潜在的竞争优势。
CONCLUSION
We hope this additional context helps outline how these critical changes will impact the upcoming split. To review the formal language of the outlined policies or review all changes, reference the official 2015 LCS Ruleset and our changelog which shows side-by-side changes from Spring Split.
