star player
In the past PEL spring transfer period, there were constant big news.
Among them, the most eye-catching ones were Chengdu AG’s bid for Chengc (Mi Jiacheng), 33Svan (Zhong Hongsen) and Diao Wenjian (Chen Shijie) for a total price of 15.21 million.
All three players have a certain degree of popularity. Chengc and 33Svan were among the four captains of the four major camps during the PEL All-Star Weekend.
It can be predicted that Chengdu AG will be the most watched team in the new season.
Also during this transfer period, Jimmy (Xu Yinjun) transferred from Shanghai NV to Wolves. As one of the team's veterans, Jimmy's departure made Shanghai NV fans a little sad.
In the new season, Jimmy and his old teammates who have won honors together will become opponents on the court, which will be a highlight of the game.
In the new PEL season, players participating in the Hangzhou Asian Games will return to the professional arena.
At the Hangzhou Asian Games held last year, the Chinese team won the championship of the Peace Elite Asian Games version. This team consisted of Paraboy (Zhu Bocheng), Sima Guang (Liu Yunyu), Gezi (Zhang Jianhui), Huahua (Chen Yumeng) and Ziran Can (Huang Can), the return of these players will undoubtedly bring more attention to the league.
There are big differences between the Asian Games version and the regular version of PEL. The innovation in the basic settings of this year's event may bring them more challenges. The performance of the players after returning to the regular version is naturally worth looking forward to.

Team structure
After recruiting Chengc, 33Svan and Diao Wenwen, plus the original player lineup, Chengdu AG has undoubtedly become the "Galaxy Battleship" in the PEL arena. For PEL, which has performed poorly in the international arena in recent years, this team Naturally, high hopes were placed on it.
Judging from the lineup, Chengdu AG is indeed strong in the new season and has a good chance of achieving good results.
But in the spring split, the team still needs to solve the problem of running-in as soon as possible, especially in terms of command and communication. It needs to find a balance as soon as possible and form a good chemical reaction, so that it can perform well on the court.
As a traditional giant, Shanghai NV's performance in recent seasons has not been outstanding. After experiencing personnel changes in the offseason, their lineup has been reorganized.
Paraboy's return to the PEL arena is a shot in the arm for Shanghai NV. Under his leadership, whether this team can regain its glory will attract the attention of countless viewers.
Suk (Feng Shujie) won the title of PEL Player of the Year in 2023. During the transfer period of last year's spring split, he came to Beijing WBG and has since led the team to third place in both last year's spring and summer splits.
In the new season, the goal of Beijing WBG is naturally to reach a higher level.
In addition, after retaining the championship team, Changsha TEC started to defend the title this year.
Huahua returns to the professional arena, and Jiangxi TJB’s performance is also exciting.

Competition system innovation
This year, PEL has modified the event settings to make it closer to the competitive environment of international events. The competition will further test the team's operational capabilities and adaptability.
Double elimination points from the first two rounds will eliminate them from the professional stage, and now every elimination point a team earns will become more valuable.
The airborne deployment function will also disappear. Starting from this year, teams can freely choose jump points without restrictions.
In addition, the information within the game will be more blurred, which will bring more decision-making costs to the party launching the active attack. The information acquisition on the spot will be further compressed, and the test of the command position will also increase.
The overall competition system of PEL is also undergoing an upgrade this year. The 2024 PEL Peace Elite Professional League will be divided into two seasons, spring and autumn. In order to further integrate with the world competition system, the competition system will be fully upgraded; in 2024, PEL will usher in more international competitions. , the Global Open and the Mid-Year International Competition have been added, the Peace Elite regional competition will be held in Chengdu, and the quota for the Peace Elite Global Finals has also been adjusted in line with the changes in the annual points system rules.
These changes make the competition in the new season even more suspenseful. We look forward to more exciting moments in the 2024 Peace Elite!
