and Chen Chuxiao temporarily froze the intersection of feelings, and Lin Nianwei began to be ordinary friends, for Lan Yu and the WT team, this is the best result, personal and life are not in conflict at all, and the troubles caused by this matter have gradually calmed down.

This week's group round-robin is the fourth game, but this week's WT team has a full schedule and will have to face two teams in a row, and given the start date of the H City B League and the subsequent national City Championship schedule, the H City Championship will need to pick up the pace a bit.

Originally scheduled to play two months of the group stage, advanced to a month and a half, so that the teams are also a little nervous, now each group of middle teams is the most pressure, want to grab points to come up with enough good lineup and tactics, but these need a lot of time to practice and run-in, like this game of two teams a week, the tactical reserves of each team at a glance.

Strong teams like WT team, flower demon team, and Spark team, many times you don't need to prepare any tactics to fight a weak team, as long as you take people normally and play an advantage online, the cooperation ability and execution of team battles are much higher than those of the other party, so there is no such trouble.

However, WT's days this week are not very good, the first game has to face the second team in Group B, the Abyss team, the current WT team has won all three games and has six points, and each group is similar, the first place is to take all two points every week, and the Abyss team has been biting the second points after following the WT team to take advantage of the ban of the Hidden Dragon team in the first week, and the third place is tied for several teams at the beginning.

The other game is a weak team, but the WT team does not dare to take it lightly, and now there is a cooperation contract with the "Flower Language Girl Group" and the official, requiring them to advance to the top 16 with the strongest attitude, so that the official can sell their promotional photos in large quantities, so the whole WT team is tense, and the training intensity is increasing every day.

Of course, their training content is not for the opponents in the group stage, after watching so many games in the group stage, what style and strength of each team Lan Yu has already analyzed quite thoroughly, and they are studying the masters of other groups.

The captains of all teams have been notified that the competition format of the round of 16 will be changed, and it is no longer the traditional four teams that qualify from each group to play the knockout round and then climb to the finals little by little, this year's competition system will be more fair and just, and it will also give each team more opportunities.

The format was changed to a format in which the first in the upper bracket and the first in the lower bracket competed for the championship, also known as the double-elimination format.

This format will be drawn after the top 16, the captain of each team will come forward to draw lots, and the two teams drawn will play the match, and the winner will advance to the upper bracket, while the loser will fall into the lower bracket.

Then the winner's bracket and the loser's bracket play their own knockout rounds, so that the strong and the strong are divided together to kill you and me is easy to happen, and the team that falls into the loser's bracket will play all the way to the lower bracket champion, and then play BO5 with the champion of the upper bracket to decide, but the champion system of the upper bracket automatically counts the first win and starts the final with 1-0.

This format is also widely used in various large-scale tournaments, giving all teams a chance to have more than one chance, because it is a double-elimination tournament, so if the team that enters the upper bracket loses, they can continue to fall into the lower bracket and compete with the winner of the first round of the lower bracket to compete for a place in the promotion, so that each team is guaranteed to have two chances until the bottom of the competition.

The champion of the upper bracket and the champion of the lower bracket compete for the overall championship, and the two second places compete for third and fourth place.

So it's an exciting and brutal format, and if you're lucky enough to make it to the upper bracket but fall halfway through, you'll have a chance to make the cut in the lower bracket and compete for the upper bracket for the overall title.

There can also be tactical defeats here, for example, a team doesn't want to expose too much in such a ferocious duel in the upper bracket, and takes the initiative to lose the game and fall into the lower bracket, and it is also possible to attack from the lower bracket to win the championship, but in the lower bracket you will still encounter a strong team that lost in the upper bracket, depending on your luck.

This format has always been very popular, and it is indeed much more user-friendly than playing three games and eliminating it directly, so the teams have shown a lot of support for this format.

After the news was released, the major teams began high-intensity training, because the group qualification does not mean anything, it is possible to lose in the game and fall into the loser's group, if the performance in the loser's group is not good, it will completely lose the qualification of the game, and now the goal of the strong team has been placed on the battlefield outside the group stage, and they have begun to collect information about other strong teams.

All the teams were busy this week, and the news was released on Tuesday, which immediately caused a heated discussion on the official forum of H City, and everyone was speculating which teams would meet in advance after entering the round of 16, and which teams might win the championship at the bottom.

At present, there are four teams with the highest demand to win the championship, namely WT team, Flower Demon team, Spark team and TC team through audition.

These four teams are currently leading the way, and they are all proud of the other opponents in the group with a winning attitude, and it is needless to say that the WT team is naturally not to mention, but it is still very surprising that the TC team, a veritable grassroots team worthy of the name, can perform now.

At the same time, what is also being speculated is the battle strategy of each team, whether they are ready to go all out to fight in the upper bracket, or temporarily low-key to avoid their edge and low-key climb the pit in the lower bracket.

For fans, it's natural to hope that the teams they support can be invincible to the end, but for each team, this matter has begun to be discussed in various ways.

"We must rush to the upper bracket, our team is different from other teams, we have a sales contract, and the upper bracket itself represents strength and identity, even if you win the championship after the lowest in the lower bracket, it still feels a little worse, let's still compete in the upper bracket." Facing Yuan Xiaoye's question, Lan Yu said seriously.

Chen Chuxiao nodded, I received a call from Wang Zhiguo before, the team's promotional photos have begun to be pre-sold, there are quite a lot of people who order, and the prospects are very good, this is the effect achieved in the current state of the WT team's full victory, it is estimated that it will reach an order climax again after qualifying, if the group can successfully enter the winner's group at the end of the group, then the promotional photos of the team and the "Flower Language Girl Group" can be sold to a peak, these are red RMB.

"It's almost certain that the first place in the group will be drawn, but I don't know who will be drawn in the first game of the Ludao group, don't draw the Flower Demon Team and the Spark Team, that TC team is also very troublesome, they are all strong teams, and the other teams don't care too much, these three teams really don't have any bottom." Chen Chuxiao said with some concern.

"Don't worry, I'll go to the lottery when the time comes, my hands are good." Lan Yu said confidently.

There are more and more exchanges with the Flower Demon team, Lan Yu found that they are really a super team, and they definitely don't lose to their own team, if they have a choice, Lan Yu definitely doesn't want to meet the Flower Demon team so early, the strength of the members of his team has reached a bottleneck at present, and they are all relying on their own methods to improve themselves, before breaking through the bottleneck, he is still very worried in his heart.

"Just your hand, forget it, if you go to play online games and touch equipment, it is estimated that you will have to bring a black hand aura." Yuan Xiaoye said disdainfully.

Lan Yu smiled and ignored Yuan Xiaoye, everyone was full of confidence in their luck, and before they knew the result of the Dao, they all felt that their hands were the reddest hands in the world.

"The double hundred format is good." Mu Huan said after watching the introduction of the competition system for a long time.

"It's really good, we have to win in the upper bracket, but for now, let's study the video of the Abyss Troop first, they are our opponents tomorrow, and they have been ranked second, which is not bad, we can use them to practice their tactics and disrupt the judgment of other teams." Lan Yu said.

Now each team must have someone to start studying their team's habits and playing style, one thing Lan Yu is still more proud, since the start of the game, he has not used any set of used tactics and lineups, always in every game with some new tricks, but also try to prevent the opponent from finding their team's shortcomings.

The WT team only began to study the opponents of the next day on the last day, not to look down on them, but to be too busy, in addition to the normal schoolwork to be completed, but also to go to the United States to team up to train new lineups and tactics, during this period there were some exchanges and consultations with the American TSM team, but Lan Yu still did not mention the training match again.

It's spring, and the North American LCS league has officially started, with the same scale as the domestic LPL, and it is also the only way to participate in the S-level World Finals through rankings, so in addition to normal games, they also have their own training mode.

So Lan Yu just gave a simple greeting, and the two sides just kept a friendly contact, and Lan Yu also informed them of his team's current progress in the championship, and also got the blessing of the other party.

There is another advantage of playing training matches in the United States, that is, you can see a lot of strange lineups, people on this side play games with a high mood, but they look at the victory and defeat very lightly, and often come up with a lot of weird lineups for entertainment, sometimes these weird lineups can often play a miraculous effect, and then slowly spread into a trend.

Even the WT team was tormented enough by all kinds of quirky lineups, losing several games in a row, but they also learned a lot and opened up new ideas.

With these things back to reality, looking at the abyss team that is about to play tomorrow, many ideas have gradually taken shape, Lan Yu has been training a lot in a single row recently, and in the cooperation with passers-by, because of the uncertainty of selecting people, a lot of tactical ideas can often be derived, and he has also sorted out tactics to share with his teammates.

Today, as usual, they studied until late at night before they went back to their dormitories, ready for tomorrow's match against the second abyss team in the group.

As usual, Lan Yu turned on the computer when he returned to the dormitory, ready to train in a single row again before going to sleep, since he and Chen Chuxiao had a showdown on emotional matters, Lan Yu had to train for a long time every night, and Lin Nianwei seemed to know that Lan Yu was used to going to bed late, and always sent him some simple greetings in the early morning.

These were all seen by Mu Huan, but he never said anything.

"Don't be solo tonight, we all have games tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the intensity is very high, go to bed early." Mu Huan said.

Recently, Mu Huan has talked a lot more than before, and it is also because of this strange atmosphere that he needs to come out more to guide the topic.

Lan Yu smiled and pointed to the selection interface that had already entered, and the national server was not in the strongest single row, and the king group was basically entered in seconds.

"Just practice for a while, recently I feel that Akali can really return to the position of the middle laner, with high explosive mobility, not afraid of collapsing the line as soon as the technology gun comes out, and can be strong in flesh and law, ready to be used as a big move." Lan Yu said.

"The body is important." Mu Huan reminded in a low voice.

Every day, Lan Yu has to practice until late, and then during the day, in addition to class, he is analyzing tactics, and no one can afford this kind of mental consumption of intensity.
