Chapter 420: The Format of the National Competition (First Update)
This year's national competition is the most extensive event in the country, covering almost all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in the country.
Even two special administrative regions have sub-divisions, which can be said to be the first time that such a huge event has been held on a national scale.
Both in terms of the scale of the event and the number of participating teams, it can be regarded as the largest in the past.
In particular, it draws on the online and offline competition mode in foreign competitions, as well as the method of setting up sub-competitions in large provinces.
It can be said that although the whole competition seems to be huge, the overall schedule is very well arranged, and there is almost no chaos.
In all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions and special administrative regions, two teams stood out from the provincial competition and successfully advanced to the current national competition.
Because there is no threshold and restriction of the previous amateur competition, it also gives more private clubs the opportunity to participate.
This has also increased the spectacle of the event, and the overall level of competition has been significantly improved.
Of course, the participation of professional players who directly register is still the biggest restriction of the entire event, and this also gives more opportunities to private amateur esports talents.
To put it bluntly, your club can make a professional, but your choice cannot be a registered professional.
In fact, this can be regarded as giving some large club trainees a chance to practice, and many large clubs will also let the trainees form teams to compete.
Of course, there are only a handful of large clubs with this strength, so it does not affect the balance of the overall national competition.
Especially in recent years, the e-sports industry as a whole has stabilized, and many small private clubs have been able to break even.
We will also hire some coaches to give some professional guidance to the players, and will also prepare favorable conditions for them to train in some foreign servers.
Therefore, it can be said that the level of many folk club teams is not bad, and even some folk club teams can beat large club trainee teams in the provincial competition.
Undoubtedly, the improvement of the e-sports environment has given e-sports a better platform, which has made this national competition extremely eye-catching.
Because each province and city has two teams to advance, the overall number of teams is very large, as many as nearly 0.
In order to be able to balance the game well, and also to give all teams a fair and just chance to play.
After discussion, the tournament decided to use the online Shanghai selection model to select the most outstanding 16 teams.
Sixteen teams are then drawn to determine the quarterfinals in a round-robin process, followed by a knockout round.
The winner of the national championship will be given a direct promotion to the minor professional league.
Second, third, and fourth places will play the bottom two and three teams in the minor league, and the winning team will also qualify for the minor league.
I have to say that the qualification to be promoted to the second division is still very attractive, and it is something that many private clubs are eager to get.
The prize money given in this national competition is also a very considerable income, which is also quite attractive.
As for the arrangement of the event, in order to give each team full chance, although the starting line is only 1, it is a double-elimination system.
According to the number plate issued after registration, each station pair will be caught and killed in pairs, and after entering the official server, the official will arrange to enter the designated room.
Both players must use the team's registered name, otherwise they will be considered to have forfeited.
The first is to catch the right 1, according to the number randomly received at the time of registration, 1 corresponds to 0, 2 corresponds to 69, and so on.
After the match-and-match, the winner advances to the next round, while the loser waits for the first round to be over, and then the catch-and-fight is done again.
This time the lower bracket loses again and will be eliminated outright, and the winner will play against the loser in the previous upper bracket.
In this way, round after round of selection, until the final round of 16 is decided.
It seems that the schedule is very tight, and the tournament has taken into account all the circumstances.
The rule is that eight teams will be selected from winning all three games in the first round, and the other eight teams will be selected from the lower bracket.
In this way, it can be said that a lot of trouble is avoided, and it can be regarded as giving almost equal opportunities to each teammate.
Despite the long duration of the event, each team was taken care of and training and accommodation were arranged.
It also made this national competition really very international, and even many foreign netizens praised the domestic national competition.
Many foreign e-sports enthusiasts even lamented in various forums, why can't they come to participate in such competitions?
After all the teams were registered, Sun Yifan and Bai Manjun took away the SMS messages at the same time.
The message gives them the time they will go to the online competition and clearly tells them what they must be aware of online.
What Sun Yifan, Bai Manjun and everyone didn't expect was that the online competition was actually held in a designated Internet café arranged by the event party.
This practice also completely puts an end to the situation of online competitions, and only teams that have a game on the day can enter the Internet café with their ID cards and team number plates.
Of course, the entire competition process will be broadcast live to online and offline audiences in the Internet café.
After Sun Yifan told everyone the news, everyone couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really tall, it really feels like participating in a professional competition." ”
Hearing everyone's emotion, Sun Yifan said with a smile: "Actually, when I first participated in the professional competition, I am afraid that I was not as tall as I am now. ”
Seeing Sun Yifan mention his original professional experience, Chen Cheng immediately asked: "By the way, brother, what was your competition like?" Tell us about it? ”
Chen Cheng's question also attracted the attention of others, and immediately, including the people from Bai Manjun's team, all gathered around, wanting to hear it.
Sun Yifan couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he saw the people gathered around: "Hehehe, in fact, I have nothing to say about that experience." ”
Duan Xingxing opened his mouth at this time and said: "Oh, don't shut it down, hurry up, it seems that you are the only one of us, who has played professionally." ”
Sun Yifan glanced at Bai Manjun, and the latter said directly: "I haven't played a very regular game, it seems that Shen Qingxue played at the beginning." ”
Looking at everyone's expectations again, Sun Yifan nodded and said, "Okay, since you want to hear it, then I'll talk about it." ”
Later, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sun Yifan began to tell about his experience, that period of the wild era of e-sports.
