Shanxi, Datong.

"It was said that it was a hot spring hotel, but now it is all occupied by Koreans, and there is a queue for massages.

It's the same in Fusang, a bunch of people come to take a bath, and the hot springs are almost unable to find a place to put their feet, and there are all a bunch of old grandfathers next to them.

It's going to be a game the day after tomorrow, and these people are still so leisurely!

The most outrageous thing is that there are a bunch of people who can speak Chinese, and they actually ask me if I am in love? Can such a thing as urging marriage cross borders? It's outrageous. ”

In the all-season hot spring hotel, Ying Jie, who was wearing a bathrobe, looked very angry and directly pushed open the door of the room, and couldn't help but complain to Xiao Xiao, who lived in the same room as him.

Finally, there is a hotel with its own hot spring, thinking that after soaking, I will press a healthy motorcycle, but I was directly told that I would have to queue for several hours.

Today, the hot springs are crowded with people, and they are not comfortable at all.

I originally wanted to prostitute for a few days, but the experience was extremely poor.

No way.

This time, nearly a hundred people from South Korea came to participate in the competition, and it is said that their eyes are lit up when they see the price of massage in China.

All of them are doing SPA in the hotel, and the masseurs are too busy.

The first Datong Cup of the world's strongest chess players opened in Datong, Shanxi, the competition was sponsored by Tengda Group, the qualifiers were directly divided into 60 groups for the world audition, without any national quota, randomly grouped, and the final winner of the group entered the competition.

China, Japan, South Korea, plus China's treasure island and some other fragmented national occupations, this time there are nearly 600 professions to participate in the registration, which can definitely be said to be an unprecedented event in Go.

This number can be said to be outrageous, if you just count Japan and South Korea, from the beginning of the occupation of all the quotas combined, it is estimated that the number is about 600.

Basically, this hotel is full of professional chess players, and it is difficult to find other guests.

Or rather, this hotel is simply only the players and staff of this competition, because it has been completely occupied by Tengda for almost a month.

Ying Jie is the first time in real life that he has seen someone booking a wine shop for a month, and he has seen it before, or Mr. Wang Duoyu in the movie.

Because the process of this tournament is almost a month, the qualifiers have to select 60 players for the tournament in a week.

Entering this tournament, it is different from the previous single-elimination system, and this competition uses a double-elimination system.

That is, the round of 64 of the tournament will be played first, and the first round of the competition will determine the 321 winning players and the 32 first-defeat players, and then play separately.

The 32 winners played again, and 16 more 16 players were eliminated, and 16 of the 32 players who lost in the first round were the same 1 wins and 1 loser.

To put it simply, in this competition, if you lose once, or even in the first round, you will not be eliminated, and there is still a chance.

Instead, they will enter the loser's repechage group and also have a chance to reach the final.

The winner of the last game will play the final five-game battle against the Avengers, who only lost one game from the loser's resurrection group.

Decide this contest, the real champion!

The champion will receive a bonus of 3 million yuan, the runner-up will receive a bonus of 500,000 yuan, and the remaining participants in this competition can get a bonus of 10,000 yuan for each win, and 5,000 yuan for a loss.

There is no prize money for qualifier participants.

It can be said that the process of this World Series is very complicated and takes a long time.

At the same time, the popularity is also very high, because this kind of competition has never been seen in this world before.

Not to mention that a World Series can be held for such a long time at one time, and the normal World Series will only be held for a week.

Because this time, the professions of the whole world have gathered, and many veterans have come out of the mountains to participate in the qualifiers.

Although the main focus is on participation, and there is basically no possibility of qualifying, many players of the older generation really love Go and are willing to come over to the next game.

Speaking of the elders, Ying Jie suddenly remembered that Nie Lao had ended the three consecutive victories of the ninth stage of the Patriarch's Zhan Wu Palace some time ago.

It's obvious that he is stealing a teacher from himself, to deceive and sneak attack his young man.

Use my tricks to pretend to be forced!

It's insidious!

If it weren't for Nie Lao taking the initiative to help him apply for the honorary name after the title of Zhan Lianba, Ying Jie said that he must settle accounts with him.

But since there is an honorary chess saint name after Lian Ba, Ying Jie should have nothing to do.

What is stealing?

Obviously, I enthusiastically taught Nie Lao! What are the differences between Chinese chess players?!

Don't slander Nie Lao!

Don't try to drive a wedge between our Chinese chess players!

It seemed that Ying Jie, who pushed the door in a rage, Xiao Xiao smiled a little helplessly: "Who told you to run over in a hurry?"

It's not that you don't have to participate in the qualifiers, you go directly to the competition, and it will be the same if you come back after the qualifiers in a week, and there will be fewer people at that time. ”

Ying Jie said while taking out a glass of ice cola from the refrigerator: "I think there are so many people, because of this competition, several other competitions have been postponed, and this month is just this big competition, but I will lie at home with a corpse." ”

With the free ice coke in his stomach, Ying Jie suddenly felt refreshed.

The luxury hotel is still good, and the drinks in the refrigerator are free.

Unlike before, when you participated in the competition, you drank a bottle of mineral water in the room, and you had to calculate the money later.

A bottle of Nongfu Spring charges me ten yuan!

Bad review!

"Think about it, tomorrow 600 people will eat in a hall and attend a dinner, it will feel quite outrageous, even if he has a table of 12 people, he has to set up fifty tables."

Xiao Xiao felt good when she heard this: "What's this, people's normal weddings are almost thirty tables, and fifty tables is not too many, plus the staff, it may be quite a lot."

The last time Senior Brother Wang got married, there were almost fifty tables, which was not too much. ”

"Tomorrow should be the opening, and by the way, the list of games will be posted, and it is said that it is now being randomly assigned by the computer.

The other qualifiers are allocated according to the number of places, and each nine-dan is basically one in a group, and this time it will be directly randomly assigned.

Maybe there is a group that doesn't have a nine-dan, and some groups are all nine-dan, so it's a lot of fun. ”

Ying Jie couldn't help but smile when he said this, this kind of random allocation method is likely to give birth to lucky people and unlucky people.

It's like someone who often plays a game of less than a month with a high intensity of lanes, and can be in the top three in South Korea and the top few in China in a row.

And some people have good luck, basically they don't draw strong hands, but the black chess, the only white chess is still the fan chess exchange. Is it good to sign luck? Guess the first change.

As for Ying Jie.

Sorry, I'll escort!

PS: It is said that Ke broke the defense in the captain group? I feel like maybe the rating will fall to third this month, alas...... This may be the real thing.
