Chapter 875: Bad Lottery
Since the time was close to the end of the year, Chen Hui and the others also squeezed out time to use the last annual leave of the year to watch Ye Yu and their games on the spot.
And this time the competition also adopts the format of the group stage.
The atmosphere of the eight teams is played against each other in two groups, but compared with the previous group stage, the best-of-three format is adopted, and two rounds of group stage competition will be held. The team with the top points in the group will advance directly to the semi-finals, while the remaining three teams in the group will be directly eliminated from the bottom of the group, and the remaining teams in the top four will compete in a best-of-five system, and the winner will officially enter the semi-finals.
Moreover, the team with the first points in this group will not only be able to directly advance to the semi-finals, but will also play a best-of-five match against the advancing team in the lower bracket, with the winner directly advancing to the final round. In other words, in fact, the team with the first points is considered a "seeded" team, and can avoid the first prize with another group, which is also a small change made by the organizers in this event, which can be regarded as an eye-catching change.
Because everyone must want to see the two strongest teams compete in the final battle, and if the game develops normally, it must be quite strong to enter the final with the first place in the group stage, so the final final is not surprising that these two teams are fighting.
Not to mention that it is now close to the final game, all the attention of the audience is focused on the two teams with a strong smell of gunpowder, and everyone is very much looking forward to seeing these two teams that have clashed many times as soon as possible.
This time, the organizers took advantage of the psychology of the two teams with a lot of conflicts, [] and [], and divided [] and [] into different groups. The former is in the first group, while the latter is in the second group.
Night Feather actually had some suspicions that [] was playing behind the scenes, because the four teams in the first group were [], [], [], and [], while the second group was [], [], [], and [].
Anyone with a discerning eye can see what such a group assignment means.
These eight teams are now the eight teams with the highest total points and strength in the Winter China Championship so far this season.
And at present, this group can see that the first group is completely the death group, not to mention the strength of [], in recent years, the season has been a famous championship candidate team, [] team this season's dark horse, with a strong star player as the shareholder of the team club, and [] is also a famous team in the past, after undergoing restructuring and adjustment, it is only rising again.
The intensity of the competition in this group is simply outrageous, and every battle is exciting and full of suspense.
But on the other hand, in the second group, [] and [] are obviously slightly lacking in strength, and the points in the previous group stage are actually quite different from the first place, and it is impossible to shake the position of []. The only competitive is probably only [] that will be favored this year, and [] is an old rival.
The final tournament lasted only a week, because the tournament had to be completed before the Chinese New Year, and the World Finals will be held in March, so the final tournament will be held after a week of consolidation.
Ye Yu is no longer the rookie team they were at the beginning, and the scale of this top event in the Huadong Tournament is much larger than that of the Huaxia Tournament, so they can't think about winning the championship in the competition like last time, because the event process is longer, and there are more teams, and their talent and skills will be exposed earlier.
So, there had to be a trade-off now, and Ye Yu naturally had to give up the one-on-one event and focus on the three-on-three event. As for the two-on-two and eight-on-eight events, they have ace combinations in the team that are specifically for two-on-two, and they don't need to compete for the championship of the two-on-two event, even if the eight-on-eight event exposes their talent and skills in the three-on-three event.
However, the situation in the final race is also not optimistic for Night Feathers.
First of all, the team was divided into the group of death, and on the other hand, the entire Moon Night Feather was playing multiplayer team dungeons, and there was almost no training, which caused them to spend a few games to get back into shape.
So after the start of the game, [] lost to [] with a score of 1:2 in the first round, but fortunately, the second opponent was the [] team, and their strength and fighting style were not so oppressive.
This gave everyone a chance to relax, and after a game of one win and one loss, eg.ye the eight of them had actually returned to their competitive state, and won the third game with a great advantage, winning with a score of 2:1.
In the third game, they played against last year's strong team [], and the situation was very anxious in the first game, and both sides achieved a slight advantage after 30 minutes of tug-of-war, and successfully won the first game.
But after that, the three men of 'eg.ye', ''' and 'eg.qz' appeared on the scene, adopted an extreme tactical strategy of pressing the three people who were good at individual combat, and used surprise attacks to achieve great results, and finally ended the confrontation in just two minutes with a crushing attitude.
And the second game also directly led to the instant explosion of the mentality of the main players of [] , and they completely lost their fighting spirit in the battle in the third game, and they easily won the third game by 'eg.ye', and finally defeated [] with a score of 2:1.
So, in the first round, [] got two wins and one loss, and then started the second round of the group stage. It's the same four teams, continuing the format of giant mixed encounters.
This time, the eight people of the 'eg.ye' have completely recovered their due state, their tacit cooperation and tactical customization are among the elite among all the teams, and the tactical strategy of 'eg.ye', they can use the tacit understanding between them to break through the instability after the failure of the breath tactical strategy, so that they can show a huge crushing posture in the later games.
First of all, they had already won by a huge advantage with an excellent score of 2:0 against [], and then they also defeated [] again with a score of 2:1, but then they were won by [] with a score of 1:2 by the opponent due to performance problems. In the second round, they still ended the round with two wins and one loss, and the whole audience cheered.
After the two rounds of the competition, it is naturally the time to start counting points.
A win will give you five points, and a loss will deduct two points. The overall score is 10 wins and 7 losses, and the total points are 36, ranking first in the first group. And [] was almost completely defeated, so he directly suffered the result of elimination.
The results of this competition are relatively close to that of the [] team, but [] defeated the [] team with a score of 2:0 both times, but the [] team defeated [] with a score of 2:1, so in the end, the score comparison is lower than that of the [] team. But it doesn't matter, because the [] team has already confirmed their qualification, and the two teams are going to continue to play against the second and third ranked teams in the second group to determine the final winner.
As for the second group. 【】It is worthy of being the dark horse of this competition,In the two rounds of the game, [] was successfully defeated, although the first round was a little embarrassing, and in the end, the [] team was able to win nothing more than a narrow victory. However, when he met the [] team again in the second round, [] directly defeated [] like a tiger, and it could even be completely a crushing 2:0 victory.
However, the number of members of [] is very large, and the state is also very good, when facing other teams, they all win with a huge advantage of 2:0, while the [] team is very special and aggressive and crazy in terms of fighting style, and belongs to the kind of situation where you either live or die, so there are more 2:1 wins. When the points are finally settled, the points of [] are higher than those of [], and the first place in the second group of points is obtained.
In other words, it is still the two teams that belong to the [] team and the [] team to face each other.
When the two teams that finished first in Group 1 and Group 2 advance to the semi-finals, they will have to wait for the two winners of the other four teams to play each other.
Leaving aside the discussion of whether there were any special problems in the previous grouping, this is exactly what the organizers want to see. Because the battle between the [] and [] teams, which the audience had been waiting for, was postponed again.
However, this competition is still full of obvious controversy, which makes many players express obvious dissatisfaction.
First of all, it's a problem of the two groups.,In the group where the [] team is located,The two teams almost belong to the team that gives points.,In addition to the battle between them and the other party.,There is no chance of winning against [] and [].,They are all crushed by the way of the strongest attitude.,This leads to the only attraction in the second group of games is only in the confrontation between the two teams of [] and [].
Compared with the grouping of the first group, almost every game is very interesting and exciting. Even the [] team with the lowest group points performed very well, which is remarkable. The direct proof is that in the subsequent ranking competition, that is, in the place to determine the winner, when the remaining teams are ranked, the [] teams are the two lower-ranked teams that can directly crush the second group.
To put it simply, the last place in the first group is able to crush the third place team and the last team in the second group.
The fairness of such a grouping makes players have to have obvious doubts about the organizers. However, the organizer is shameless, and being able to create a topic is indeed a "good result" from another perspective. After all, in fact, whether there is a suspicious operation by the organizer, players cannot be confirmed.
Anyway, the game went on. After the [] team and the [] team confirmed their promotion, the remaining four teams were disrupted and regrouped. Three best-of-five matches were played. And it is a three-round format, and each round is played according to the best-of-five system, so that the so-called "luck" can be minimized.
In the group competition, the [] team slammed to the third place team in the second group [], and then in a crushing situation, one round was a 3:1 result, and the first round was a 3:0 result to obtain the final seat to advance to the semi-finals. The battle of the other group is relatively more intense, and the [] team meets the [] team of the king in the past, which is itself a high-profile super war.
In the end, the tournament was played through three rounds, and the final result was 3:2 for the first round, 0:3 for the second round, and 2:3 for the third round. Team [] struggled to get the final ticket to the semi-final stage.
Therefore, the outcome of the semi-finals is, [] team vs [] team; 【】Sentai vs【】Sentai Team.
Such an ending is a great headache for [], on the one hand, because the [] team successfully drew [] as an opponent.
And [] is a confrontation with [] who has a good relationship.
Although the team's performance this year is quite impressive, and the background of this team is also very good to have good shareholders to join, they are also very good, but compared to the really top teams, there is still one thing missing, that is, the game experience. This will definitely be magnified in the semi-final format, and once it is a tiebreaker, the game experience and competitive mentality will inevitably have a huge impact.
On the other hand, the [] team is indeed a very strong opponent for [], not only because both sides are very aware of each other's fighting styles and knowledge of the design of talents and skills, but also have a taste of mutual restraint in the real use of tactics.
Night Feather's team's fighting style itself is an amplification of tactical strategy and tacit cooperation, but the [] team will definitely not be inferior to theirs in tacit cooperation, and in terms of tactics and strategy...
This battle between [] and [] is sure to be a real head-to-head collision!
