Chapter 187: Champion, I'm going to decide
In Su Rui's eyes, the League of Legends Finals is still more important than the Go game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, Go is a niche entertainment, and the audience is not too much, while League of Legends is different, and the audience is many, many times larger.
Achieving results in League of Legends is far more rewarding than in Go.
Whether it is League of Legends or Go, Su Rui's purpose in joining this industry is for faith points, and League of Legends can allow him to get more faith points, so he will naturally give priority to League of Legends.
What's more, even if he doesn't go to the Samsung Cup, there will be other Zhenguo chess players who will also have a chance to win the championship.
However, the League of Legends Finals is different, at present, only the Miracle Team advances to the semifinals, if he does not participate, then the Zhenguo team will be wiped out, and there will be no chance to win the championship.
This time, I don't know how many people will be sad about this, and Su Rui, who retired from the competition, will also be scolded for a year, or even longer.
Therefore, in League of Legends and Go, Su Rui of course has to give priority to League of Legends rather than Go competitions.
It's just that this is a choice made in desperation, and if he has a choice, of course, he will not give up on both games, and do both, which is the result he wants to see.
As it stands, there is hope that he can do it as long as there are no accidents.
After the plane took off, Su Rui made up the information of the Samsung Cup on the plane.
The Samsung Cup World Go Open Championship is an international Go individual competition held by South Korea, and it is also one of the Zhenjie Go competitions, which is also a well-known Go competition in the world, due to South Korea's "JoongAng Ilbo", Korea Broadcasting Corporation, and Korea Chess Academy, and the sponsor is Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance Co., Ltd., formerly known as "Samsung Fire Cup".
Later, in 2007, it was changed to "Samsung Insurance Cup", in 2009 it was changed to "Samsung Property Cup World Go Masters", and finally to "Samsung Auto Insurance Cup World Go Masters" because the Japanese kanji terms were not easy to understand.
The schedule of this Samsung Cup World Go Open Championship is divided into two stages: the qualifiers and the tournament, and 13 seeded players will directly enter the tournament, and the seeded players will be the top four players of the previous tournament, four from South Korea, two from Japan, two from Zhenguo, and one recommended by the organizer, that is, a wild card, a total of 13 seeded players.
In each country, players are free to sign up for the qualifiers and decide 19 players, including 15 in the ordinary group, 2 in the women's group, and 2 in the middle-aged group, and then enter the tournament.
Therefore, after passing the qualifiers, plus the seeded players, a total of 32 players will enter the tournament.
Su Rui entered the Samsung Cup as a seeded player, so he did not need to pass the qualifiers, and could directly enter the tournament.
After the last time he participated in the LG Cup, when the reporter interviewed him, he was asked if he would participate in the Samsung Cup.
It's just that Su Rui didn't know much about the Samsung Cup at that time, or didn't know about this competition at all, so he naturally didn't know if he would participate, and he didn't reply that he would participate in the competition.
Unexpectedly, now he has embarked on the journey to participate in the Samsung Cup, which is quite interesting to think about.
In this Samsung Cup competition, what interests Su Rui the most is the prize money.
In the past, the prize money of the Samsung Cup World Go Open was 1.6 billion won, and the champion player could get 600 million yuan, which is the same as the prize money of the LG Cup.
This year's Samsung Cup World Go Open has a richer prize fund than in previous years, with a prize scale of 1.8 billion won.
However, for those below the championship, the prize money remains the same as in previous years, which means that the extra 200 million won will be added to the championship prize money, reaching 800 million won.
According to the conversion of Zhen won and Korean won, 800 million won can also be exchanged for a prize of 4.6 million yuan, which is already a very high prize in the Go world.
For the championship of this Samsung Cup, Su Rui is bound to win, and he wants to take the 800 million won bonus.
After reading the information of the Samsung Cup, he said confidently: "This champion, I want to decide." ”
Su Rui is indeed qualified to say this, because his Go skills have reached level 12, which is a height that few people can reach.
In the Chunlan Cup, LG Cup and Samsung Cup and other similar tournament champions, most of their Go skills are around level 11, which can also be regarded as the world champion level, and only a few world champions can reach level 12 in their skill level, which belongs to the genius level of the world champion.
Therefore, the level 12 Go skill is also very few in the world, and it belongs to the legendary level.
Therefore, Su Rui's level 12 Go skills are already enough to be proud of in the competition, and it is difficult to meet opponents, even if he encounters legendary-level chess players, he still has the strength to fight.
What's more, even if he meets a legendary chess player with the same level 12 skill in this Samsung Cup, as long as he wants to win, he can do it, as long as he continues to upgrade his Go skills.
The level 12 Go skill is already considered the best chess player in the world today, and if you rise to a higher level, I don't know what kind of height it will reach.
Su Rui is very much looking forward to this, and he also wants to upgrade his skills to level 13, but he can't use more advanced Go skills yet, and he doesn't want to just use up his faith points, so he doesn't plan to upgrade for the time being.
In this Samsung Cup, he thinks that it is enough to play with a level 12 Go skill, and it is not too late for him to upgrade if he needs to.
When the plane arrived in South Korea, it was already 9 a.m. local time, and the 10 p.m. game was about to start, with only one hour left.
Therefore, after leaving the airport, Su Rui immediately took a car to the competition venue.
In the car, he calculated the time, from here to the competition venue, it will take about forty minutes, the time is still in time, but he still asked the driver to drive as fast as possible.
Originally, the time was already very urgent, and there was a traffic jam on the way, and the taxis were stuck in the road, and there was no way to move forward.
Judging from the current traffic jam, it will be impossible to dredge for a while, and after driving to the destination, the race will already start.
Seeing this, Su Rui asked the driver how to go on the road, and then paid the car fee, and then got out of the car and ran over.
Fortunately, this place is not too far from the destination, and if he hurries up and runs over now, he should still be in time.
Su Rui used the fastest speed, and even used his sprinting skills, and finally arrived at the destination before the time of the race, and he was finally not late.
