Chapter 235: The Knockout Round is Over
The three-day knockout round was played very quickly.
After all, there are many games to be played every day, and every team seems to be very busy.
It's just that under the arrangement of the event organizers, everything is going on in an orderly manner, so there is no panic.
And after the three-day knockout round, the results of each team are also freshly released.
Several of these teams had very dismal results, and they didn't win a single one.
For example, when I met them in the past, I was beaten very badly, and in the end, I won a victory, and I was not shaved a bald head.
On their side, the three teams in the Central Asian Division have all been freshly released.
In the end, their side easily qualified for the first place in the division with a record of 10 bars and zero.
The remaining two teams are the Wanwan and South Korean teams.
In fact, as early as the beginning, the three teams of them had already determined their qualifications.
The strength of their three teams is not at all a grade compared to other teams.
Moreover, these three teams represent the most elite forces of the three top regions in League of Legends, so there is no comparison between the others and them, and it is also deservedly for them to qualify.
To put it bluntly, the others are just accompanying the prince to study, but after all, it is an international competition, so a team will come to participate in the competition.
What is really unexpected is that South Korea has always had high expectations.
And before the actual start of the game, many people also felt that South Korea's strength was stronger, so they felt that they should be able to qualify first in the region.
But in fact, not to mention the first in the division, they didn't even mix in the second division, and finally qualified for the third in the division.
The reason why this is so is because the arrival of simplicity has directly changed the configuration of this time and space.
In another time and space, the results of all three of their teams are exactly the same.
So in the end, there was a play-off, and the final result was that the South Korean team wore two, defeated the Chinese team and the bend team at the same time, and won the first place in the region.
But now because of the simple joining, their side has not tasted a defeat, so they have won all the games and qualified.
The remaining two, because of the relationship between the winning and losing fields, although they are both eight-bar two, but the team that won against South Korea has priority, so when considering the relationship between victory and defeat, they occupy the second position.
The three teams are freshly released, and as for the other regions, they have also confirmed their qualifications on this day.
In the end, the six major divisions were divided into six groups, with a total of eight teams, all of which were freshly baked.
And then it will be on the 27th, the real Asian Games.
To put it bluntly, the knockout round they are playing now is not even an official competition.
There are only three days of 2789, which belongs to the real game of League of Legends, and there will be a lot of spectators to watch the game live.
At that time, their eight teams will be divided into two groups and divided into two groups.
In each group, there are two qualifying places, and when the time comes, they will enter the semi-finals.
The three-day schedule is also very tight, and on the first day, the group stage will be played directly.
On the second day, the semi-finals and the third-place match were played, and on the third day, it was directly the finals.
So the schedule for the first day was naturally very tight.
It also means that it will be a huge test for these players.
After all, from a very early age, they need to go to the site to prepare.
And after a fight, it doesn't mean that they have to leave directly.
You'll have to wait until the other teams are done and then it's their turn.
The cycle repeats itself until all the teams in the two groups have played all the games, and then it is over.
This is a huge test of the player's physical strength, perseverance, etc., and it is also possible for some people to have poor performance.
Therefore, playing a game requires not only strong personal ability, but also a strong physique, and only a strong physique can allow you to have the spare strength to face any unexpected situation.
Fortunately, it is simple and there is no need to think about this aspect.
And they don't have any experience anymore like before, so when they encounter various situations, they have a large number of team members doing logistics support work.
So you don't have to worry about what will go wrong, and you don't have to worry about encountering the same situation as before, and you will not get a drop of water for a full eight hours.
The knockout round is over, and for most players, it seems unfinished.
The game was very intense, although most of them were rookies pecking each other, but there were indeed more powerful teams.
For example, in the knockout stage, in addition to the Chinese team, the Wanwan team and the South Korean team, which performed very well, in fact, the Vietnamese team was also very good.
After all, there has always been such a saying, that is, the South Korean team, that is, the LCK division, is rich in top laners, while the European and American divisions are rich in middle laners.
As for LPL, it is rich in ADC, but the Vietnam division is rich in junglers.
Each division has its own style and style of play.
Why are Sao fans so famous?
is because when he was in his own country, he played the king in Hanbok with a super high delay.
It's like moving forward with a weight, and being able to beat the king under such conditions has proven his strength.
It is also because of this reason that he was scrambled by the straight team and was pulled into the LPL to become one of the top junglers.
After all six divisions were played, the draw was held and the grouping began.
It's just that after seeing the grouping, many people can't help but shake their heads.
Group A is all a dance of death.
China, South Korea, and Vietnam are all in this group.
If it weren't for the bending team going to Group B, it would have been just their show.
On the contrary, in Group B, the most powerful is Bend, and in the past, it was directly indiscriminate.
After the grouping, the two with the highest points advance, then the second in Group A and the first in Group B, and the first in Group A and the second in Group B.
The winner advances to the finals, and the loser competes for the final bronze medal.
There are no repechages like a winner's bracket, lower bracket round-robin.
The Asian Games, the schedule is tight, where is there so much time for them to play slowly.
Once you've drawn your lots, it's time to study your next opponents.
That's what Abu and their coaching staff do.
For simple them, all they need to do at this time is to continue to maintain their form and be able to play better and better in the future.
And at this time, for Abu, they still need to pay attention to one point, that is, they must win the first place in Group A.
The team obviously didn't have any opponents in Group B, so it was almost a foregone conclusion that they would win first place.
If you can win the first place in Group A, on the one hand, you can avoid meeting the bending team in advance, and on the other hand, you can choose a weaker opponent and guarantee it to the final.
Even if their state is very hot now, after all, there is always the possibility of accidents in the competition, so it is obviously a better choice to play a weaker opponent in advance so that you can reach a higher level.
Once they finish first in Group A, then South Korea and Vietnam will have to fight for second place, and then they will have to face the bent team.
In this way, the two of them fight to the death, and it is obviously more in their interests that they can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for them in the final.
In Group A, the other Kazakhstan team is just an experienced baby, so no one has taken him to heart, and the only ones who are really threatening are the other two.
This time, the South Korean team did not take it to heart, they knew very well that there was a tough battle waiting for them next.
Everyone is nervously studying their own team, and on the other side, the South Korean team is naturally the most studied at this time.
In particular, the two people of Simple and UZI are the focus of their research.
If it was before, they were the main study of the natural puppy of the lower road.
For them, as long as the puppy on the lower road is pressed to death, there is basically no sound on the other side.
But now that it's simple, the results are different.
Especially after this switch to the middle of the game, they also need to consider, is it possible for Simple to swing further?
For example, simply continue to walk in the middle against Feike, or let him go back to the top lane.
This is all very possible, after all, when he was simple, he was born on the road, especially in the top laner position, and won the championship, so it is not impossible for him to return to the top road to play against Kiin.
Thinking about it this way, it is a very headache for the buckle coach.
Because he is simply proficient in multiple positions and plays very well in each position at the same time, when the opponent chooses to change formations for substitutions or change lanes, he has to consider how their side should respond.
Just like the last one, they originally chose Pan Sen to play against Zelas, but they didn't expect Zelas to crack their lineup directly after switching to the middle.
Instead, Pan Sen did not play as well as he should in the lower lane, and was restrained by Lulu.
When the strength of the players on both sides is similar, BP can directly change the situation.
Coach Buckle always felt that the gap between his players and the opposite side was not as big as he imagined.
It's just that the Bp side is falling below.
A big reason why this one lost so badly was because Zelas suppressed Faker's Galio in the middle.
At the same time, at the beginning, snatching Little Peanut's blue buff was also a foreshadowing, resulting in the following time, Little Peanut has been restricted by the incense pot and has not been able to do anything.
So then he thinks that the main restriction should be the simple one assist, whether the opposite side is to let him continue to play assist, or go to the middle lane, or return to the upper road, after all, there are only these few people, so at this time, the big deal is to swing with the other party.
Even if the opposite side continues to choose to let Simple go to the middle lane, he can't let the combination of the ruler emperor on the lower lane come to the middle lane and face off with Simple.
Anyway, Emperor Qi is on the lower road, because of the fear of dogs, when facing the puppy, he is always suppressed by the opposite side, in this case, it is better to put their pair in the middle to suppress the simple point.
However, the specific BP naturally needs to wait until the game starts before it can actually be played, and now only some of the details are considered.
In the original time and space, because the knockout round had already started in June, when entering the main competition of the Asian Games, the real competition was only three days.
So for the players, the schedule is not as tight as expected.
But in this time and space, not only did the Asian Games start a few days late, but also started on the 22nd.
What's more, the knockout round needs to be played first, so after the three-day knockout round, it is already the 25th, and there is only one day of rest before the 27th.
So it's a very big test for the players.
After three consecutive days of high-intensity matchups, they were already very tired, and now they only have one day of rest, and they need to continue to play high-intensity BO1.
If you can't adjust your state in time, it's easy to get into trouble when you can't adapt to the soil.
It is worth mentioning that at the time of the Asian Games, although the schedule was very tight, in fact the number of games was much less than expected.
The knockout stage and the group stage are Bo1, only in the semi-finals I am Bo 3 and in the finals is Bo5.
So there are actually not as many games that you really need to play.
On the 27th, each team only needs to play three games.
Mainly because today's League of Legends has just joined the Asian Games, and it is just an exhibition match, so it is naturally not as intense as imagined.
Defeating South Korea and qualifying for the first place in the region is of little use, but it is something to be excited about for them after all.
For so many years, the LPL team and the LCK team have always been suppressed by the other party.
But I didn't expect that this time, under the leadership of faker, the other party was beaten up by them instead.
This is certainly a very exciting achievement.
Because they only have one day off, they naturally didn't go out to play, and they just stayed in the hotel to rest.
Especially now in August, the weather is very hot, and Palembang where they are located is already very humid and hot, and going out to play in this weather is simply to find guilt for yourself.
It is better to stay in the hotel and enjoy the air conditioning, which is much more comfortable.
After the game, they continued to play two training matches with the domestic team under Abu's arrangement.
Overall, the results were very brilliant, so seeing that they were in good form, Abu was finally relieved.
As long as we continue to do this, then basically the next games will not be a problem.
After the 26th training match, it was easy to relax.
After seeing the points he had accumulated, it made him smile even more.
It took him a lot of days to finally accumulate 8,000 points.
But he never expected that because the attributes were too different, there was no way to increase his health value.
So much so that he could only add the eight thousand points to his own operation.
He has accumulated these 8,000 points for a long time, but now he is playing in the Asian Games, and its specifications are at the level of the world championship.
Therefore, the points given for a game are 100, and after getting the MVP, the reward is 500 directly.
Because he let his sister dunk one game, he actually played only nine games by himself, but he won nine MVPs in nine games, which made him score 5,400 points in one go.
Coupled with the points accumulated from playing qualifying and training matches, the number of points he had accumulated at this time exceeded six thousand again.
Among these points, simply swapping four thousand of them for four attribute points and adding them to his own operation, raising the operation that had already reached eighty-one to eighty-five in one go, which can be regarded as the limit of the first stage.
At this point, he basically improved all the attributes he should have improved, and then there was only one consciousness left.
It's not impossible to continue to improve other attributes, but you just need to consume double the points.
Host: Simple.
IDοΌJIAN
Operation: 85
Mentality: 85
Consciousness: 50
Team: 85
Reactions: 85
Health: 96
Credits: 2400
Seeing that he has reached 85 attributes, at this time he only has 50 consciousness attributes, which is very eye-catching.
So I simply decided to improve my consciousness attributes first, and then find a way to improve my remaining attributes.
And the reason why he didn't directly add points now is because he doesn't have enough points, and on the other hand, he is always worried about what will happen after sixty.
I'm especially worried that the dotted line will disappear!
So he was a little hesitant, so he thought about waiting for the Asian Games to be over and then think about it more.
There are some regrets in the past, because in the previous knockout round, these teams were divided into divisions, so among the more than 20 teams, only 10 were really divided into them.
So in the end, he only played 10 games, and he only played 9 times, so he only accumulated a little 7 points.
If all twenty countries fight with them, their points will definitely exceed 10,000, and in this way, their attributes will be much richer.
After the training match, the next step is free time for them
Abu will not force them at this point, although EDG has always been semi-military management, but it does not mean that these players do not even have a little personal space of their own.
After all, people are not machines, in addition to daily training, as well as playing training matches, and ranking by themselves, they still need some pastime after all.
In this personal time, you can watch TV, watch dramas, watch cartoons, or chat with people, whatever you want, as long as you complete the basic training tasks, no one will care about you.
So at this time, some of them are talking on the phone with their families, and some are talking on the phone with their girlfriends.
It's not surprising that it's simple, but it's very busy at this time.
So many people in the country sent this message one by one, which made him very busy at this time.
Send messages to these people one by one, and time flies.
And at this time, in addition to sending messages to these women he knows, he also has a group of rich women to maintain.
Fortunately, in this group, everyone knows that he has gone abroad to play, so no one has bothered him for a while, and the people in the group are just chatting with each other.
Only Zhou Xin sent some information to Jane, after all, the office building has been almost arranged now, so she began to recruit people one after another.
These things are simply handed over to her to deal with, but she still reports to Jane as always, letting her know that now this initial shell company has personnel entering the market at this time.
However, because the decoration has just ended, it is still necessary to put the flavor, and it is obviously impossible to recruit people on a large scale at this time, so it is not in a hurry.
Now the main thing is to recruit some major managers, and the remaining ordinary staff can take time to conduct a job fair when they have time.
After dealing with the company's affairs, it seemed a little idle for a while.
But just when he seemed a little bored, he didn't expect that Da Mi Mi and they would take the initiative to send him a message, usually they basically simply sent messages to greet or chat.
It's still relatively rare for Da Mi Mi to take the initiative to send him a message.
Faced with the information that Da Mi Mi invited him to play the game, he simply didn't think much about it, and accepted it directly.
Anyway, being idle is idle, so it's better to play games with beautiful women and pass the boring time.
After all, people are not machines, although in the previous days, they have been training hard in order to get more points.
But the occasional pastime is needed, especially after he started playing training matches and has gained a lot of points, and the urgency for qualifying is not so intense for him.
Now his attributes are no different from those of a top-notch player.
Even if there is no reminder of the dotted line, it will not mean that he was beaten up when he was on the line like he did at last year's World Championships.
Now if you don't count the consciousness attribute, he basically belongs to a blue-collar player, and in the support position, his attribute can be regarded as top-notch.
After all, the auxiliary position is not so important for individual operation attributes, but more about team and awareness.
Playing games with her, time always flies, and in the process of chatting, the atmosphere of getting along with each other is also relatively harmonious and relaxed.
Compared with the aunts, it seems very easy to get along with Da Mi Mi.
It's like facing your friends, you don't have so many thoughts, you don't have so many intrigues, you don't need to hold your own shelf, and you don't need to deliberately hide yourself.
Because to put it bluntly, the two have never met at all in reality, they just met on the Internet, so whether it is Da Mi Mi or for simplicity, it is like facing a strange netizen, even if he knows that the other party is actually a celebrity, but in reality, when they have not been in contact, after getting familiar with each other, they seem to speak and act more casually.
Maybe it's because I haven't known each other in the real world, so at this time, I am not afraid of the collapse of my image in the eyes of the other party on the Internet, and I will naturally be very casual when I talk and do things, without so many twists and turns.
"How do you feel when you play against South Korea? Will you be excited to play the Asian Games? β
During the game, Da Mi Mi asked what it was like to be simple during the game.
"Actually, I don't feel anything, after sitting on that stage, the only thing you need to do is to win the game, defeat the opponent, that's enough, nervous or something, in fact, I don't really feel anything."
After thinking about it, I simply found that when I was in the game, I really never felt what it was like to be nervous.
"You should know, when I first entered the tournament last year, it was the World Championship, and it was already the most important game for the team, as long as I lost, I had to get out of the game, even in that situation, I didn't feel any nervousness, let alone now."
Hearing the simple words, Da Mi Mi nodded.
Indeed, Simple had always had a confident smile on his face, and he had never seen any nervousness.
Think about it in that kind of life-and-death game, a rookie player who has never played any games before is urgently arranged to play.
But even so, he didn't have any nervousness, but calmly defeated the other party with his teammates without any run-in and advanced to the finals.
This kind of psychological quality is really not comparable to ordinary people, a young player who has not played any games, debuts on the world stage, and plays when his teammates have been pushed to the edge of the cliff, once he loses, it is the role of the blame.
In order to understand simplicity before, Da Mi Mi deliberately watched his game video, and naturally paid more attention to his first game.
And it can be seen from the barrage that many people at that time were very unoptimistic about simple play, thinking that they were broken jars and falling, and felt that after they couldn't beat the other side, they chose a rookie player to go up and take the blame.
But what no one expected was that it was this rookie player who directly crushed SKT's dream of wanting three consecutive championships, and even in the subsequent game, after advancing to the finals, he simply defeated the opposite side 3-0.
Thinking that it has been almost a year since he made a simple appearance, but to this day, he has not even lost a big game, and he has only lost a small game once, which makes Da Mi Mi feel that this person is too terrifying.
But think about it, it seems that when he simply played the king with them, he never lost, even if he was a beginner and hadn't experienced this game much, but he was very quick to get started with the hero, and he basically understood it after playing two games, and then he took them to kill directly on the field.
This is also a testament to how terrifying simple talent can be.
In the process of chatting with Da Mi Mi, there were some doubts in his heart, and the other party seemed to know his movements very well.
It stands to reason that if you are just watching live broadcasts on the Internet, you shouldn't know this way.
Because when they were playing the game, it was five channels that were broadcast live.
As a sports channel, Channel 5 is basically in the process of live broadcasting, and it will not completely put them on their side, but all kinds of sports events will be broadcast live simultaneously, so the screen switching will be very fast, and each project can have three or five minutes, and the stay time is very good.
In this case, it is even more unrealistic to watch them play, and basically you can only watch them on a dedicated online live broadcast platform to see the full game video.
I don't think that people like Da Mi Mi will have time to find this kind of related live broadcast channel on the Internet and watch their own games.
But she casually said some words at this time, which proved that she really knew herself very well, and she also said the way about the game.
And the reason why they have such a clear understanding is because in the process of chatting, Da Mi Mi told them about some of the highlights they played in the previous game, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
Could it be that she was watching the game live?
A very abrupt thought came to his mind, but soon he shook his head again, thinking that it was simply impossible.
What kind of person is Da Mi Mi? That's exactly the Iron Lady, desperate Saburo.
How can a ruthless person who does not hesitate to break up his family in order to work, how can he have the leisure to go to a foreign country to watch his game?
What's more, he doesn't have any special relationship with the other party, how could he run over to watch the game for himself?
So I simply feel that this is just a little delusion in my heart.
ended the call between him and Simple, and at this time, Da Mi Mi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel, looking at the bright lights outside.
As a port city, prosperity is inevitable, and the scenery is very different from the country.
In the past few days, Da Mi Mi and Reba have basically been watching the game in the arena, so they don't have much time to go out and hang out.
And at night, the city was hidden in the dark, like a terrifying beast, as if it was ready to choose people to eat, so the two girls did not dare to run around.
Therefore, Reba's longing idea of traveling abroad has not been realized at all.
I have eaten a lot of delicious food, but after getting used to domestic food, I came abroad, and in the face of these so-called delicious things, it was just a taste, if I really want to say how delicious it is, for Reba, a foodie, it's just like that.
Seeing Da Mi Mi standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Reba's eyes were purring at this time, and she remembered the two girls she met yesterday.
At this time, only she knew what was going on in her heart.
Da Mi Mi, who was wearing a red nightdress, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her skin as white as snow and bright red lips looked more and more eye-catching.
It's just a pity that only they can see this beautiful scenery at this time, but outsiders have no chance to appreciate it.
The towering and upright omen of evil is even more difficult to see at this time.
"You said that you tried your best to squeeze together your notices to solve them, so that you finally squeezed out time, and said that you would go abroad to have fun, but after running over, you sat dryly on the field for so many days, is it really worth it?"
Reba was still a little unwilling, and finally had time off to take a vacation, but he was pulled over by his own boss, and he watched the game for so many days stupidly, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
So at this time, she really wanted to change her boss's mind and go for a walk next door.
Even if you don't go to Bali, where you have your heart, at least you can take a stroll around the city.
"Don't you think it's hilarious to watch them live?"
Da Mi Mi looked back at her.
"Aren't you thrilled to hear the audience cheering for what they did? I remember at the time, you yelled quite loudly. β
"It's good-looking, but isn't that the atmosphere there, and it's been affected by others?"
Reba would never admit that he was so excited, and he was completely influenced by the people around him, so he behaved so irrationally.
But think about it in China, as a very well-known star, she has more than 40 million followers, so when she does anything, she needs to hold her own shelf, and she can't do some actions at will, so as not to be seen by some unscrupulous media and slander her image.
And when I was abroad, there was no such restriction, no one knew himself here, no, except for the two people I met yesterday.
But except for these few people who know themselves, at this time, in the eyes of others, she is just an ordinary Chinese woman, who can cry loudly, laugh loudly, cheer loudly, and no one will blame themselves for their image gaffes, and over-interpret themselves.
Because there were many people at the scene who shouted louder and more fierce than her.
Watching them cheer loudly and scream because of their favorite players, for Da Mi Mi and Reba, the feeling is also very deep.
They seem to have some understanding of what it is like for some fans to cheer loudly when they see their favorite stars.
This is also because they are not fans of a certain person, but they are just influenced by those audiences when they come to the scene.
It's no wonder that when some singers held a concert, the fans at the scene were so cheering and excited.
"Do you want to keep watching the game? Sister Mi, we've been here for so many days, and they didn't play today, so we stayed in the hotel for a day so stupidly.
In the morning, we didn't have much activity, so we waited until after the kid finished the training match and then played a few games with him, was it really worth it? β
Originally, I thought that they would have finished the game and had a break today, so the two of them could go out for a walk.
But what I didn't expect was that Da Mi Mi stayed in the hotel all day, and in the afternoon, he invited him to play a few kings together when he was free, and then it was over today.
It's just that Reba said that he was very unwilling, but Da Mi Mi was her boss, and the boss didn't speak, so he was helpless at this time.
"You think I don't want to hang out, but just the two of us, where do you want to go? Especially now when you go out at night, you want to die. β
Da Mi Mi was also helpless, she felt that she had made some mistakes, and she ran over stupidly with Reba alone.
There were no assistants, no bodyguards or anything like that, and it was very unwise for the two girls to run around in a foreign country.
Especially thinking that foreign countries are very chaotic, and the security is even worse than that in China, so after thinking about it, Da Mi Mi chose to stay in the hotel honestly, instead of going out to hang out, for fear of any accidents.
As a rich woman with a lot of money, she naturally doesn't want to joke with her life.
I don't want to think about going out and having fun because of the excitement of the moment, and then put myself in a dangerous situation.
After hearing Da Mi Mi's words, Reba nodded unwillingly.
Indeed, the security of this country has always been criticized, so it is indeed understandable that there is some chaos.
After all, it's for safety reasons.
It's so angry just to think about it!
Originally, I came to a foreign country, thinking that I could go out and have a good time, but in the end, I could only stay in the hotel honestly, and it was uncomfortable to think about it.
"Tomorrow they have to play again, but from the perspective of the schedule, tomorrow's game will not be so intense, and after the grouping, we can watch it selectively."
When it comes to tomorrow's game, Reba becomes excited again.
At the beginning, she was very unfamiliar with this game, but at this time, with a deeper understanding of this game and understanding the game, she felt that the game was very enjoyable, and compared with the pesticide competition, it was not a grade at all.
"I took a look at tomorrow's game, and after they were grouped, there were four teams playing a round robin within the group, so each team had to deal with the other three teams, and each team had to play three games.
The schedule will be much tighter than before, and I've heard that the top teams are concentrated in Group A, so the best game is Group A, and the two of us can pick and watch the game in Group A when the time comes. β
When it comes to things in the game, Da Mi Mi at this time is talking about the head of the road.
On the one hand, it is because she herself has a certain level of game, and more importantly, because she has watched simple live broadcasts and competitions for a long time, her understanding of this game is naturally not comparable to Reba.
What's more, at this time, there are a lot of people at home and abroad, who are paying attention to this event, and many people are participating in the discussion.
So one of the most talked about is naturally the game between the three strong teams.
Therefore, in Da Mi Mi's view, there are only three games that are really worth looking forward to in tomorrow's game.
That is the Chinese team against the South Korean team, which is a reproduction of yesterday's game.
Then China vs. Vietnam, and South Korea vs. Vietnam.
These three teams are a strong combination in Group A.
The rest of the team is just an addition.
Even at this time, when discussing it, Da Mi Mi was surprised to find that no one mentioned that team, and everyone was unlucky, experienced baby.
It's not contempt, it's true.
Being in the same group as these three teams is a very unfortunate thing for each other.
(End of chapter)
