Chapter 279: The Nineteenth Round

The day after the fourteenth round, news swirled about Team Polestar's 8-2 victory over Team Kenwu.

Even a top powerhouse like Kenwu has not been able to stop the winning streak of the Polestar team, and now the Polestar team has overtaken the Kenwu team to the second place in the standings.

And in the next five rounds, it is estimated that the only one that can really bring some trouble to the current Polestar team is the Mengling team, and it is already very good that the other teams can guarantee that they will not be swept away.

I would like to insert a special sentence here, although the Fanguang team was one of the top four teams last year, but this year's performance is also unsatisfactory.

Last year, they were able to enter the semi-finals, mainly relying on the advantage of healing, but this year each team has a healing player, and the biggest reliance of the Fanguang team has been directly wiped out, and now it has dropped eighth in the standings.

At present, there are only two teams in the top eight teams that have played against Team Polestar, Meng Ling and Fan Guang, and if they can achieve high scores in the hands of these two teams, Team Polestar will be expected to surpass Team Soul Slayer.

In contrast, in the first nineteen rounds, there are still three top eight teams that have not played against them, namely the Mengling team, which has not played against the Polestar team, the Tianyong team, which ranks among the top six teams with excellent tactical literacy, and the Cangying team, which is second only to the border team among the new teams.

At present, the difference between Polestar and Soul Slayer is only three points, as long as Polestar can maintain a stable performance, with the advantage of the opponent, it is possible for Polestar to surpass Soul Slayer before the nineteenth round.

But this is not very likely, after all, the strength of the Soul Slayer team is there, and the performance in these rounds is also very good, especially in the team competition, the Soul Slayer team has not lost a single game so far.

A game, not counting extra points, is at most ten points, and the team competition accounts for five of them, generally speaking, as long as you win the team competition, you basically can't lose.

In fact, the game has been played for fourteen rounds, and the Soul Slayer team has won fourteen rounds in a row, that is, they have won all of them.

The Polestar team was able to catch up so quickly and was only three points away from the Soul Slayer team, mainly by scoring eighteen points in a single game, which greatly shortened the gap with the Soul Slayer team.

Then in the fifteenth round, the Polestar team played steadily, won three individual matches, and did not lose the ring match, and the team match even scored one extra point, a full eleven points.

The fifteenth round of the Soul Slayer team played against the Tianyong team, and the performance was stable, but they lost one game in the individual competition, and the ring match was won by the Tianyong team.

After the fifteenth round, the Soul Slayer and Polestar Squad had the same number of points, but because the Soul Killer had defeated the Polestar Squad before, the first place was still the Soul Killer Clan.

In the sixteenth round, the Polestar team faced the Fanguang team, lost two games in the individual competition, but won the ring match, and won the team competition at the same time, and after one game, they got eight points.

The Soul Slayer won two individual matches, won the ring match, and continued their winning streak in the team match, scoring nine points, surpassing Polestar once again, but only one point more than Polestar.

In the seventeenth round of the game, the Polestar team swept the opponent and scored a full ten points, and the Soul Slayer team did not show weakness, not only swept the opponent, but also won two points in the team competition, got twelve points, and is currently three points ahead of the Polestar team.

However, in the eighteenth and nineteenth rounds of the game, the Polestar team only had one strong opponent, Meng Ling, but the soul killer had two strong opponents, Meng Ling and Cang Ming.

In the eighteenth round of the game, the Polestar team swept the opponent again and scored ten points, while the Soul Slayer team only scored six points against the Mengling team, and is currently one point behind the Polestar team.

At this point, the Polestar team has reached the top of the standings for the first time, but like the previous Soul Slayer team, it is only a one-point lead, and whether it can stabilize this one-point lead depends on the performance of the two teams in the nineteenth round.

"Now we're at the top of the table, but we're not in a good position, as long as we can stay at the top of the table after 19 rounds, mathematically speaking, we're the top of the points race."

In the tactical meeting against the Mengling team, Qiu Chen started his analysis from the current standings.

In fact, the Polestar team can play to this extent, which is almost the same as the first place in the points competition, you know, in the first few rounds, the difference between the Polestar team and the non-play is not very big.

But Qiu Chen also said just now, but from a mathematical point of view, the opponent is the same, the number of games is the same, multiply the current points by two, and it is the final point.

Although there is nothing wrong with this algorithm in theory, but in the game, who can say for sure what will happen, but for teams like Polestar and Soul Slayer, which have no problems to come out, this algorithm is still very reasonable, and even if there is a problem, the final result will only be more points than expected.

"The opponent of the Soul Slayer team in the next round is the Cang team, and our opponent is the Mengling team, there is a gap in the strength of the two teams, but I want to say that none of this is important." Qiu Chen ended his analysis of the points with this sentence.

"Our performance in the first few rounds was not good, even if our points are now against the Soul Slayer team, in the second half of the game, we will definitely get more points than now, with our current points, it is no problem to win the first place in the points competition."

This time it didn't matter for Qiu Cen to say, Qiu Chen had already consciously begun to explain.

"That's right, our goal is just to win this game, and as for the first place in the points race and so on, it's not too late to wait until the final round to think about it." Ye Yongxin obviously agreed with Qiu Chen's words.

"Regarding the Mengling team, we haven't studied them much before, but the main forces of the Mengling team are still the ones from last year, and our research on Mengling last year is still useful."

As soon as Qiu Chen came up, he sent good news to the Polestar team.

Last year, the overall strength of the Mengling team was the top in the professional circle, and the cooperation was also very tacit, so no new players were introduced this year.

Because of this incident, Lu Junwei's intestines were all remorseful, he really didn't expect that the three top teams of Soul Slayer, Polestar and Sword Martial Arts would introduce such a powerful player.

The strength of Qiu Cen and Liu Fan of the Polestar team is recognized, and the strength improvement brought to the Polestar team is really not small.

Wu Shun of the Soul Slayer Clan, although he is not very old, but his talent and level are very good, looking at the current lineup of the major teams, the Soul Slayer Team will maintain the two gods for the longest time.

Not to mention the sword martial arts team, with the introduction of such a top player as Zhu Qian, the strength is naturally improving by leaps and bounds.

If it's just that, forget it, the overall strength of the Mengling team ranks fourth, at least it can guarantee the same results as last year, and it is also very good to enter the top four.

But who would have thought that a border team would make the overall strength of the Mengling team drop directly to the fifth place, and if they were unlucky, they would probably not even be able to enter the top four.

"Even so, we can't be careless, although the overall strength of the Mengling team is not as good as ours, but at the tactical level, the Mengling team is definitely not weaker than us, and even stronger than us."

Qiu Chen is not exaggerating, at the tactical level, Qiu Chen thinks that Lu Junwei is stronger than himself, not only Lu Junwei, but Lin Jiangming and Su Yuan are more accomplished than Qiu Chen in terms of tactics.

"In the face of the Mengling team, our focus is on the ring match, Lu Junwei's tactics are very strong, and it is really difficult for us to win the team match, which will be talked about later, the ring match and the individual match, we had better focus on winning one of them."

Qiu Chen said, pulled over the whiteboard on the side, and drew a table on it with ease.

"Although the overall strength of our team surpasses that of the Mengling team, our strength is unbalanced, and at present, only me, Mengxi and Qiu Cen are above the strength of most of the players in the Mengling team."

Qiu Chen said, filling in the twelve names on the form, which were exactly the lineup arrangements he had guessed the Mengling team would make, and the personnel arrangements he thought the Polestar team should make.

"First of all, this is a more secure way, we will definitely be able to get two points in the ring, but correspondingly, we will get fewer points in the individual competition." Qiu Chen pointed to the lineup arrangement on the whiteboard and said.

"But we don't know how the Mengling team will arrange, if it's soul killing or sword martial arts, I can also deduce the lineup arrangements they will make through my understanding of the opponent's command, but I don't know much about the Mengling team, do you know anything?"

Qiu Chen said, erasing all the lineup arrangements of the Mengling team on the whiteboard, what he wrote just now was the best tactical arrangement of the Mengling team through empathy.

But Qiu Chen was not confident, because he knew that Lu Junwei's attainments in tactics were not below him, and through the game with the Soul Slayer team, he could be regarded as seeing through, and in terms of tactical design, it was very likely that he would ignore some things if he was overconfident.

And these overlooked things often overturn all the tactical set-ups, as in the Polestar vs. Soul Killing match.

It was because Qiu Chen ignored that the Soul Slayer team could freely arrange the order of the game, which led to the complete overturning of the tactics arranged by the Polestar team, and the final result was really miserable.

Since then, as long as Qiu Chen participated in the tactical design, it was very cumbersome, and at the same time it was perfect, because he was not confident, so all possible situations were counted, and this result was finally produced.

"I don't think it's meaningful, my relationship with Lu Junwei is not bad, we can think of this, he can definitely think of it, so his tactical arrangement will definitely make a targeted tactical arrangement because of my understanding of him."

Ye Yongxin can be said to be the one with the most contact with the Mengling team in the Polestar team, but as he said, it is precisely because the two are too familiar that Lu Junwei will take advantage of this to avoid the operations that Ye Yongxin thinks he will do.

"It doesn't matter, we can also do the other way around, you tell me directly, what do you think he will do?" Qiu Chen said and handed the pen to Ye Yongxin.

When Ye Yongxin saw Qiu Chen say this, he didn't shirk it anymore, took the pen, and filled in the six names in the form drawn by Qiu Chen.

"Alright." Ye Yongxin finished writing and handed the pen to Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen took the pen and stared at the form in front of him for a full three minutes before erasing all the lineups of the Polestar team that he had just written, and then filling it in again, but the order was different from before.

"No, isn't this arrangement right in their hands?" Ye Yongxin was not calm at that time, because the lineup arranged by Qiu Chen was completely corresponding to the lineup he just wrote.
