There will be 18 teams leaving the arena.

PHX naturally didn't want to be one of them.

……

However, PHX does not have more than one day to prepare, they are the fifth day of the group stage to finish the game, and then the sixth day of the group stage is adjusted for one day, one day off, plus the upper bracket final does not have to be played.

There is a 3-day adjustment period for the full count.

For PHX now, it can only be described as a race against time.

They have to absorb all the experience and understanding of the group stage and then integrate it into their own battles.

At this time, the benefits of practicing basic skills in the academy are reflected.

Personal strength is strong, and the understanding and judgment of some techniques are much faster.

After training on the field on the rest day, PHX also played a one-hour training match with CSC seriously!

And in this 1 hour, there are no tactics to speak of.

It's all 1 hour of direct confrontation!

Scarlet rain vs. Qingfeng, savage vs. Ding Fei, confrontation against position.

Not only to help CSC stay in shape, but also to improve PHX's strength.

Because tomorrow is going to play the upper bracket finals, CSC didn't practice too much, and went straight to rest after 1 hour of training.

Recharge your batteries for tomorrow's upper bracket final.

With the strength of CSC, it is relatively easy to get a place in the direct invitation finals, but there are only 5 games, and it is difficult to say what will go wrong.

When it comes to the field, CSC will definitely go all out to win a victory.

……

The knockout round is one such competition.

As long as you win a match, 99% of them will qualify for the finals.

A victory, if it is not an abnormal victory such as a 2-kill victory or a 3-kill victory, will have a score of more than 30 points for a normal victory.

There is no big problem in getting into the top 9.

PHX will also be aiming to get a win and make sure they can make it out of the lower bracket semi-finals.

In the past, viewers who liked CSC watched the lower bracket semi-finals from the perspective of CSC.

The level of the lower bracket semi-finals is one notch away from the upper bracket finals.

But in fact, the teams that can enter the Glory competition are not weak, and in the lower bracket finals, except for a few fish belly teams, the other teams are still a little strong.

The strength of the PHX team is defeated

The semi-finals of the bracket were made without any problems.

Zhou Yang can pat his chest and say that as long as the team plays properly, there is no problem at all in entering the lower bracket finals.

Among the 18 teams in the entire lower bracket, the strongest team is only a team of such strength as EYG.

After the training camp, at the current level of PHX, it is above these teams.

Even Zhou Yang felt that PHX was the strongest among the 18 teams.

Making it to the finals is not a dream.

……

Zhou Yang declined all media interviews throughout Glory's competition.

Whether it's an interview with CSC or an interview with PHX.

Originally, the time was relatively tight, and Zhou Yang's own time was not enough, he had to prepare for the CSC game, but also help Wang Hao prepare for the PHX game, how could he have this time to be interviewed again.

One team is in the winner's bracket and one team is in the loser's bracket, for Zhou Yang, it is necessary to study all the teams!

Fortunately, with the help of the staff on both sides, Zhou Yang's workload has also been reduced a lot.

……

After just a day's rest!

CSC is also coming to the Staples Center!

Started his own knockout journey.

Their goal is simple, to make it to the finals.

And the upper bracket finals are also much easier than the finals.

Because if a team like EG and Satan gets a win, they will play the next few games.

Try not to expose your tactical strength, and enter the finals safely.

All you need to do is qualify for the knockout round.

So the intensity of the game is not particularly high.

PHX also came to watch the game, firstly, to feel the atmosphere of the scene and prepare for the second day of the competition.

The second is to observe the actual combat of these strong teams.

Whether it's the footage or the battle that I studied in the training room, most of them were 2 or 3 months ago.

The Glory game is developing very quickly, and the team's style of play may improve every month or two.

Coming to observe in the field is definitely the most effective method.

"Zhou Shen said that the first two games should be watched carefully."

"Hmm."

Shao Yang also communicated with his teammates.

In the upper bracket finals, the first 2 games are the most intense, and after 2 games, it is confirmed that you will advance

There may be about 3 strong teams at the level.

At that time, a lot of things on the scene are fake.

……

CSC, DK, ISO 3 Chinese teams played.

In the first game, CSC showed a very good competitive state!

Face Satan in the finals and take away your opponent with ease!

Get the first game to win!

Satan didn't have to be tough with CSC, they came all the way from the edge of the circle in this set, with 19 heads in their hands, plus 12 points from 2nd place, and 31 points.

Just make sure you advance, there's no need to fight CSC.

When it comes to the knockout round, the dominance of the strong teams is completely different from that of the group stage!

Facing a weaker team than themselves, the strong team may overturn in the group stage, and it is more troublesome to deal with, but once it comes to the knockout round.

There are only 4 words, and the soldiers are bloodless.

PHX can see it very clearly, and the state of all the way is in the ultimate instinctive state.

They are now ......

It doesn't seem to have such an ability yet.

……

For teams that are familiar with the field, as soon as they are on the field, their mental power will be instantly concentrated.

In the next 2 games, GenG, EG and ISO are also coming ashore one after another!

The strong teams are still more prominent, and 5 strong teams have won the promotion places.

After the next game, DK also began to exert force!

Finally, they finished second in the fourth race, and although they lost to ISO, DK also got a ticket to the finals.

This upper bracket final is also the smoothest in the past two years.

3 Chinese teams have locked in the promotion places one after another!

Then all the pressure falls on the three teams in the lower bracket: PHX, IFCD and TYG.

All 5 games are over!

The only thing that can be counted as an underdog is that C9 only finished 11th and fell into the lower bracket.

The restructured C9 team also carries a lot of hope.

But it looks like they're pulling their hips in the Glory tournament again.

In the face of a strong team of this level, there is almost no resistance, and there is little to win in a head-on team battle.

Plus a little less lucky, so I can only watch the lower bracket final the day after tomorrow.
