According to the regular season rankings, representatives of the eight clubs, including Beacon, Bluestar, WIN, Yintu, Thundering, Defense, Star, and Bingfeng, came to the stage one by one to draw lots.

A1--- A4, B1 --- B4, the two groups play a round-robin match, and the top two in the three games will advance to the semi-finals.

In the semi-finals, the top four teams will be cross-matched according to the group stage rankings, the first in Group A against the second in Group B, the first in Group B against the second in Group A, the winner of the two total points of home and away will directly enter the championship and runner-up finals, and the loser will enter the third and fourth place competition.

As for the final finals, it will be a best-of-three system, which means that if WIN can make it all the way to the finals and play the full three rounds of finals, then there will be at most eight rounds left in this professional league.

Eight rounds of games in nearly two months, finally end all the fixtures of the league before the Spring Festival, and then start the regular season again after more than a month of repair.

The hectic and hectic schedule doesn't seem to give anyone a chance to breathe, whether it's the players or the spectators, but it is precisely this tight schedule that has made the IA League the impact and scale of today.

After the entertaining All-Star Game, all eyes were on the crucial draw ceremony, as the result of the draw will determine not only the group stage and home and away games, but also the likely opponents in the semi-finals and finals.

A3 sign, this is the number plate that Xiong Tianci drew when he went to the stage to draw lots, and after all the group results were made public, looking at the two super strong teams in the same group as WIN Beacon and Blue Star that overwhelmed themselves in the regular season, Xiong Tianci really had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

Xiong Tianci's luck is very bad?

Of course it's bad, but even if it's worse, it's better than Cai Xiaowei's luck, because the Star Club, which drew the A2 sign, has to face three clubs, including WIN, Beacon and Blue Star at the same time.

There is no doubt that Group A of this playoffs is definitely the group of death that anyone should stay away from, because the most promising champions, Beacon and Blue Star, as well as the three strong teams ranked in the top three of the regular season, are all concentrated here, and only the seventh-ranked Skadden is relatively weak.

On the other hand, in Group B, the strongest seems to be only one club in Yintu, and even the Thundering Club is actually not in the list of candidates for the championship to some extent.

But even if this is the case, there are already predictions that the promotion of Group B will definitely go to Yintu and Thunder before the playoffs begin.

After all, even if the thunder is weak, then from the overall strength, it is actually stronger than the defense and Bing Feng, especially the Bing Feng club in the first half of the game, it once fell to the middle of the standings, I believe that if it were not for Bing Feng in the second half of the regular season, and in the last few rounds of the game to crush Xuanji and Exxon The two clubs eliminated, Bing Feng has no chance to enter the playoffs as the eighth place.

As for defending the club, although they have been in the playoff quarterfinals since the beginning of the season, they don't seem to be enough to compare with Yintu and Thunder in terms of strength alone, so it is no wonder that people will lock the promotion places in Group B on Yintu and Thunder.

But in fact? Some things really can't be taken for granted, because taking the game in Group B as an example, although the defense club led by Zhou Hongliang has no bright spots in the entire regular season, the victory is that the defense composed of veterans is never aggressive, and all the games are steady and steady, so this can rank sixth in the standings with the total score.

And what about the Ice Maple Club? Although under the leadership of You Xiaorong, the team competition of the Bingfeng Club was a mess, with no cooperation and tactics at all, but each of their players had the strength of an ace player, and it was rumored that the boss of Bingfeng had set up a reward plan of tens of millions for them, so every game of Bingfeng's players was quite desperate, and there was almost no possibility of admitting defeat in advance.

So in this context, the final promotion places in Group B really hit the big upsets one after another, first of all, the defending club successfully entered the semi-finals as second place with its small point advantage.

And all the members of the Bingfeng Club were like taking a fierce medicine, not only swept the two clubs of Lei Ming and Yintu out directly, but also finally advanced to the semi-finals as the first in Group B.

The semi-finals of Group B have been locked, and although the dust has not settled on the appearance of Group A, it has become more and more clear, because with the successive defeats of the Star Club to WIN and Blue Star, even if there is still a chance to qualify in theory, they have actually announced their fate of missing the semi-finals.

On the Beacon Club's side, they narrowly defeated WIN and Blue Star to lock in the semi-finals in advance, no matter who wins or loses between WIN and Blue Star, it has nothing to do with Beacon Club.

On the contrary, both WIN and Blue Star lost to Beacon due to their victory over Star, resulting in the two clubs having similar points, and who can advance to the semi-finals in the end depends on the head-to-head matchup between the two of them in the third round.

Victory, that is, promotion.

Negative, i.e., eliminated.

Regarding the victory or defeat between WIN and Blue Star, the outside world generally believes that Blue Star has more advantages, not only because they narrowly defeated WIN in the regular season, but also because Blue Star got the home advantage in the final round of games, which means that WIN will travel to Xinyu City, where Blue Star is located, as an away team.

"Brother Xiaopeng, come on, ......"

At seven o'clock in the evening, under the gaze of Liu Yiyi, Hu Xiaopeng took the lead as the starting singles player of WIN this season.

The player who confronted him head-on was Chang Yu, who was ranked No.1 in the IA League's active auxiliary IA players.

Perhaps in order to deal with Hu Xiaopeng's all-round mechanic, the "Sanctuary" IA piloted by Chang Yu was specially modified in this game, not only enhancing the type of main weapon on the basis of the original melee weapon, but also adding a protective shield with a light material but a large protective area as a secondary weapon.

With an alloy giant sword in one hand and a protective shield in the other, I believe that if it weren't for the fact that this "Sanctuary" still retains the supply box unique to the auxiliary IA, maybe even Hu Xiaopeng would regard the "Sanctuary" as an offensive IA that takes into account defense.

An auxiliary IA with melee combat capabilities, and such a targeted modification can really effectively curb the edge of Hu Xiaopeng's "combat-type auxiliary IA"?

Perhaps, because to a certain extent, an IA that can take care of both maintenance and offensive capabilities will inevitably pose a certain threat to Hu Xiaopeng.

But this kind of threat ability is still a little weak, and the reason is very simple, because even a real offensive IA can't take advantage of Hu Xiaopeng's hands, and a non-offensive IA like "Sanctuary", which is a halfway monk, plus Chang Yu himself is not a full-time offensive player, how can he really face Hu Xiaopeng in attack to form enough threat?

Of course it can't be, maybe the only trouble, that is, the maintenance ability of the "Holy Domain" makes Hu Xiaopeng scratch his head, because just like Zhou Hongliang, who had fought with Hu Xiaopeng before, no matter how Hu Xiaopeng destroyed the "Holy Domain", Chang Yu has the ability to repair it in the fastest time.

And it was under such circumstances that the two of them actually entered the most undesirable and time-consuming war of attrition that Hu Xiaopeng least wanted to encounter.

But fortunately, although the war of attrition is troublesome, Hu Xiaopeng is not worried, because no matter how much Chang Yu's mechanical ability and field experience are higher than his own, then Hu Xiaopeng has inexhaustible spare parts.

So in the end, Hu Xiaopeng also relied on the spare parts reserve of the all-round mechanic, and after 60 minutes, he successfully took the lead in winning the first singles match for WIN.

With Hu Xiaopeng's 41st winning streak in the singles, his winning streak has also successfully exceeded 40 games.

Even if WIN was playing away this time, even if most of the audience at the scene were Blue Star's home fans, it didn't prevent Hu Xiaopeng from enjoying the warm applause of the audience congratulating him after the winning streak.

"Brother Xiaopeng......"

As soon as he walked out of the infirmary after the physical examination, Hu Xiaopeng saw Liu Yiyi, who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

Looking at Liu Yiyi's smile on her face, thinking that she had been nervous recently because of her neglect, Hu Xiaopeng was inevitably a little unbearable.

But in the face of Liu Yiyi, what can Hu Xiaopeng do? Perhaps the best way is to run away and let herself slowly disappear from her world, and even use some harsh words to keep her away from herself.

"Why are you here?"

"Well, I found a restaurant near the hotel, and they said they could lend me the kitchen, what would you like to eat at night?" I can ......."

"Whatever, anything."

Hearing Liu Yiyi's words, Hu Xiaopeng was about to turn around and walk in the direction of the parking garage of the arena, as if he had no intention of continuing to talk to Liu Yiyi at all.

"Brother Xiaopeng......"

"What are you doing? You ......"

Hearing Liu Yiyi's voice again, Hu Xiaopeng, who had just walked not far away, turned his head to look at Liu Yiyi behind him, and the harsh words that he was about to blurt out had to be taken back, because he saw Liu Yiyi behind him with a face full of grievances, and even his eye sockets seemed to have tears.

Seeing this, Hu Xiaopeng naturally felt pity in his heart, so he had to take a deep breath, and then explained softly.

"I still have to go to the hangar to see IA, and the team match the day after tomorrow must be won, so I don't necessarily have to go back at night, if it's too late, you can go back early to rest."

After that, looking at Liu Yiyi, who was speechless, Hu Xiaopeng seemed to want to say something, but in the end he sighed helplessly, and then turned around again and walked briskly in the direction of the hangar, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to help but worry about Liu Yiyi and turn back.

"Yiyi, let's go."

"Sister Mu, am I ......?"

After Hu Xiaopeng left, Mu Qing, who originally accompanied Liu Yiyi but was hiding not far away just now, walked behind Liu Yiyi.

"Don't blame Xiaopeng, he's under too much pressure now."

"I know, but he didn't rest all night yesterday and has to play again today, so I'm worried about ......"

"So what can I do? All we can do is support him unconditionally, right? ”

"Let's go, if I'm not mistaken, doesn't he like to eat braised lion's head? In the evening, you make him a little more, and I ask the monkey to bring him something delicious and eat something delicious, maybe he can relax a little more. ”

"Hmmm......"

Looking at Liu Yiyi, whose eyes were red, but who didn't shed tears in the end, Mu Qing really didn't know what else to do except be able to comfort her.

It is said that women chase men in the interlayer yarn, but who would have thought that Liu Yiyi was here, but it was separated by a heavy mountain, Hu Xiaopeng not only ignored her feelings, but instead became more and more respectful of her in the past six months, as if he wanted Liu Yiyi to disappear from his life.

If Mu Qing and Xiong Tianci still had the intention of matching before, then in this situation, it seems that even Liu Yiyi no longer has illusions about this relationship.

Originally, Mu Qing also hinted to Liu Yiyi that she could be transferred to work in other departments, so as to avoid Hu Xiaopeng from breaking her heart again and again.

But in the face of her own hints, Liu Yiyi did not answer.

As for the reason, Mu Qing doesn't know, maybe she still has a trace of thinking, or maybe she is just worried that without herself, Hu Xiaopeng's already undisciplined life will be even worse.
