Chapter 110: Drawing lots and grouping
After five days and 14 participating teams, the points round-robin competition has finally come to an end.
On the big screen in the middle of the field, the points ranking between the teams is displayed.
The top eight college teams in the standings can advance to the next round of the knockout round.
As for the teams behind, unfortunately, they can only stop there.
Eighth on the list is Habingisa University.
After all the matches were over, Hamagata University and Ejo Institute of Technology had the same score, so a playoff was played between the two teams.
Jiangcheng Institute of Technology doesn't have any strong players, if it weren't for Jiangcheng University deliberately giving them a point before, they wouldn't even be able to play this playoff with Lin Zhou and his team.
The playoff is to play one more 1v1, and finally end with Liu Le's blue crocodile easily defeating the opponent.
Hamargisa University was granted the right to advance.
This is the first time in the past five years that Hamargisa University has been shortlisted for the top eight in the city competition.
Only by breaking through the qualifiers and entering the quarterfinals can it be regarded as officially on the stage of the city competition.
From here, the City Race is not just a race, but a lot of commercial elements.
The qualifiers are scheduled for five days.
However, the official competition is only three days long.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Saturdays and Sundays are the time for student parties and office workers to have leisure and entertainment, and the ratings at this time are the highest.
On Friday, eight teams, two-on-two, four BO3 matches, each team out two players in each game to play 2v2 matches, the winner of two games to advance, eight into four.
On Saturday, four teams, two by two, the same 2v2 rules, in addition to the two winning teams to advance, the lower bracket has one more match, the winner advances, four into three.
On Sunday, the Battle between the three teams......
There are far fewer matches per day than round-robin tournaments, and these tournaments start in the afternoon and evening.
This is to cater to the effect of commercial live broadcasts, which are the time when people are busy for the day and have the highest ratings.
In this day and age, if it weren't for economic benefits and commercial use, who would have nothing to do to throw this money into it.
I didn't see that e-sports competitions can be held once a year, but the Olympics can only be held every four years, and the reason is that the cost and profit are disproportionate.
The elf competition has been in existence for more than ten years from its inception to its evolution.
Although there is financial support from the Elf Alliance, the purpose of the Elf Alliance is also to promote elf-related products and make profits within the alliance.
Therefore, in the choice of commercializing the game, the Elf Alliance, as an investor, naturally supports it strongly.
In other words, this is the fundamental purpose of their support for the elf sports industry.
Shorten the schedule, increase spectacle, improve the rules of the competition system, create star players, and player salaries ......
Since the development of the elf competition industry, it has undergone commercial reforms again and again, but the overall development is indeed in a good direction.
The list of the top eight is determined.
The reactions of the teams of each school are varied, and the teams that have successfully advanced are naturally relaxed, cheerful and happy, and the teams that have not been promoted can only return disappointed and come back next year.
In addition, the teams that have advanced will have to complete the draw today.
The eight teams are divided into two groups, A and B, with four teams in each group playing the knockout round.
Luo Yunjie went up to draw lots, drew Group B, and came back with an excited face, there is no strong team in their group.
As for the four teams in Group A......
Jiangcheng University, last year's runner-up team, last year's third-place team, finance and economics.
Group A is simply the group of death! Last year's champion, runner-up and third runner-up teams were all divided into Group A!
I don't know how this lottery was drawn, it's such a coincidence.
The other teams in Group B, when they saw the financial draw to the death of Group A, all showed sympathetic eyes, which was not going to be hammered.
Unlike the qualifiers, the official match is a regular match where the audience buys tickets to enter the stadium and is also broadcast live on the Internet, with millions of viewers watching the regular match.
In this kind of competition, you can lose if you lose, but if you are hung up and hammered too hard, then this foreign appearance will be a big deal.
Every year, there will always be a few unlucky teams that lose badly, and finally they are brought out for ridicule on the Internet and are played as memes.
Judging from the situation of the University of Finance and Economics in Group A, the teams think that they are obviously going to be this unlucky bastard.
Grandstand of financial giants.
"Sister Zhou Min, we drew Group A ......"
Meng Meng looked at the grouping results and whispered.
"Cut, Shen Heming, who gave Binzhu Da, escaped a catastrophe."
Jin Eunjing pursed the corners of her lips on the side, obviously very unhappy that she couldn't face up to Hamagisa.
Zhou Min rubbed her forehead, she didn't expect their luck in drawing lots in groups to be so bad, and they drew Group A of death.
Of the several teams in Group A, none of them are weak, especially Jiangchengda.
It seems that Jin Eunjing can only be allowed to play in advance.
Originally, they also wanted to leave Jin Eunjing in the final battle and play again, which was amazing enough, and secondly, they would not be known by the opponent in advance about their hole cards, and they had a bottom in their hearts.
But now it's obviously not good, not to mention against Shangjiang City University, even against the other two teams in Group A, if they don't let Jin Enjing go up, it will be difficult for them to win.
"Jin Eunjing, you may be asked to play tomorrow, remember to prepare."
Zhou Min said out loud.
When Kim Eun Jing heard this, a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
"Heh, do you still need to prepare to fight this kind of rookie team?"
“……”
Zhou Min was speechless, okay, what you say is what it is, anyway, if Jin Enjing makes a move, she doesn't have to worry very much.
As soon as the results of the quarterfinals came out, the teams of each university did not breathe a sigh of relief because of this, but made their own tactical arrangements for each team as soon as possible
You must know that tomorrow will be the official knockout round of the Eight Classics, and playing in front of so many spectators will represent the face of colleges and universities in Nanjiang Province, how can you not pay attention to it.
However, not all teams have such a tense atmosphere.
For example, Lin Zhou didn't stay in the gymnasium to discuss any tactics, and after the game, as soon as the results were announced, they were all gone.
Never work overtime.
They really don't have any tactics to discuss, there are only three players in total, the rules of the game are still 2v2, there are two people, there is no choice, whoever wants to play can play......
At night.
Luo Yunjie called Wang Huachen and the school to report their promotion.
The response from the school side was as usual, and they praised them very officially, encouraging them to continue to work hard and win glory for the school.
Wang Huachen said that he would come to watch the game in the next few days.
The next day, in the morning.
Because the game is going to be played in the afternoon.
Lin Zhou went out with Liu Le too late last night, and wanted to sleep a little longer, but was woken up by a phone call.
I picked up my phone and looked at it, it was Encore calling......
