Yes, the double-elimination format is a feature of IEM.

The current LOL and even the entire e-sports circle, the double-elimination format has been canceled, one is that the schedule of the double-elimination system is too cumbersome, and the other is that the double-elimination system is too much pressure on the team's competition, because it is possible that you will be beaten to the lower bracket just after you lose the game, and you will immediately have to play with the team in the lower bracket, without a little rest time in between.

So slowly, this format has been abolished in the entire e-economy circle, but there is no doubt that the double-elimination format is the one that tests the strength of a team the most.

Even if you lose the game at the beginning, you still have a chance to make it out of the lower bracket.

The essence of a double-elimination tournament is here!

At the same time, it is much more difficult to win the championship in the double-elimination format than in the single-elimination system, so when IPL5E won the championship, it was considered that it was much more difficult to win the championship than the S2 championship, but because it was never an S series event, the gold content of the championship was still much lower than that of the S championship. This is also E's biggest pain.

Of course, if Gu Linjiao and they lost the first game, then they were only eliminated once, because the semi-finals were the beginning of the double-elimination format.

At this time, in the room of Gu Linshan and others, Gu Linshan was getting the schedule of this competition, he was speechless for a while, but he was helpless.

They are considered to be the worst team, so the first round is to be played, and if they win CLG, they will have a chance to reach the final four of the real IEM.

"Paralysis, bottom of the group!" Zhang Yangyang's tone was particularly unhappy.

No matter who it is, as long as it is a normal person, let's not talk about whether his strength is really at the bottom, even if it is, it is a very unpleasant thing to be pointed out nakedly like this.

"It's a dog!" Zhang Wei couldn't help but scold.

Seeing the look of indignation on the faces of several people, Yang Ming knew that this was the best time to mobilize emotions, so he took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, since we are so looked down upon, then we are just about to prove to everyone that we are not as weak as they imagined!" ”

"We are the opening game of IEM, the first game is CLG, this team is a strong team in North America, but compared to ROX, they can really hold on to it for as long as we can in the hands of ROX? Will they be able to get a win at ROX's hands? The answer is obviously no, so we have nothing to fear, we have to tell them, tell all the people in the world, the name of our team, it's called IV! Yang Ming said to a few people.

Gu Linjiao also smiled at this time and stood up and said: "Everyone, we are just an LSP team, they are all strong teams in various major regions, we are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, it is natural to lose, but if we win, it will be shocking slowly, this is a world event, the domestic attention will not be less than LPL, if we play well, there will be more fans, female fans will also hide, some people's minds!" ”

Zhang Wei heard Gu Linshan's words, his eyes rolled, and then he said in a serious tone: "For the sake of the majority of female fans, we must win the championship of this competition!" ”

Although Buyu didn't speak, everyone could see the monstrous battle intent in his eyes.

During this time, he was miserably trained by Smeb! He was hung up by Smeb every day to fight the day, but Smeb still likes Buyu very much, and often goes to the translator invited by the IV team to teach Buyu some of his own experience in the game.

In fact, although Buyu is said to be the worst ravaged of the entire IV team, his harvest is also the richest.

The big-breasted girl clapped her hands and said: "In this case, then everyone should rest early, and tomorrow we will meet the IEM Singapore competition with the best mental outlook. ”

"Come on." Zhang Yangyang and the others stood up and shouted loudly.

None of them went to train on this day, and everything that should have been prepared was almost ready, and the effect of grinding guns in battle was not so obvious.

On this day, they chose to rest very early, Gu Linshan was still in the same room with Zhang Yangyang, and after the two of them lay down, Gu Linshan couldn't fall asleep.

Although he has always been controlling his emotions, in fact, he is under the greatest pressure, saying that he said the thing about winning the championship, and he is also the one who told the leader of the alliance that he wants to win the championship, he is the biggest player in the entire IV team, and he is the spiritual leader of the IV team!

He didn't show it, but he was carrying something that many people couldn't imagine, and that's what a leader should bear.

Zhang Yangyang is an optimistic person, he is rich in the second generation, and his life has been colorful since he was a child, although he still has some apprehension about this competition, but he is optimistic by nature and will not think too much, and he fell asleep in a daze after lying on the bed.

Gu Linshan had been lying in bed until more than two o'clock in the morning, but he still couldn't sleep, he got up from the bed and walked downstairs to the hotel, wanting to get something to drink.

When he arrived at the dining room, he found that Kiran was also sitting in that place.

After seeing Gu Linshan, Ji Ran took the initiative to beckon to Gu Linshan, Gu Linshan, walked over and sat down and said, "You haven't slept yet." ”

"I don't sleep well." Ji Ran smiled and said, "But then again, you haven't slept at all, you will have a game tomorrow night." ”

"It's not an evening game, so it's still early." Gu Linshan said with a grin.

At this time, he suddenly thought of something, and said to Ji Ran: "By the way, there is something I have always forgotten to tell you, you can talk to your friend, let him not often look for me on WeChat, sometimes I am embarrassed not to reply." ”

Gu Linjiao is not the kind of person who likes to explain everything on his lips, but his heart is like a mirror.

He knew exactly how many pounds and taels he had, and he wasn't stupid enough to not understand what such a girl with heavy makeup kept hooking up with him.

Ji Ran smiled bitterly and said: "After she quarreled with me inexplicably before, she moved out of the place we rented, and I apologize to you for the trouble she caused you during this time." ”

Gu Linshan smiled slightly: "I don't know if I should say a sentence or not." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Ji Ran said.

"I don't think you should get too close to that Ye Menghan, just ordinary friends, girlfriends don't do it, otherwise you may regret it later." Gu Linshan said very seriously.

When Ji Ran saw Gu Linshan talking to her like a person from the past, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

She vaguely remembered that when Gu Linjiao got along with her in private, she was like a child, and she only had one feeling that was particularly funny, but at this time she was in a trance, as if the younger person was her.

Looking at Gu Linshan's eyes, Ji Ran nodded lightly instead.

Gu Linshan laughed, then ordered a drink to pack, picked it up and said, "Uh... What the hell, I forgot to bring the money, you can give it to me later. ”

After saying that, he ran straight upstairs without looking back.

Ji Ran looked at Gu Linshan's appearance, shook his head slightly, and a smirk appeared on his face.

After Gu Linshan ran to the elevator, his face was still very serious, his pressure was really great, just now he just wanted to find something to transfer his pressure, but the effect was very small!

He didn't know how he slept that night, and at five or six o'clock the next morning, after sleeping in a daze for five or six hours, Gu Linjiao got up and went to the venue of this competition, an indoor gymnasium that can accommodate more than 8,000 people.

In the middle of the venue, Gu Linjiao landed in the hanbok, and they wanted to play rank to maintain the heat of their hand.

Just when he was on the game, faker suddenly sent a message to Gu Linshan.
