"It's almost here. When will it start? Let's start early and end early." Bai Mo yawned. His sleep quality was really not very good these two days.

"Why does the lottery draw require the entire team to expire?" Sun Xiang said a little annoyed.

"I heard that we have to line up to record. After all, this is the first World Invitational." Xiao Shiqin shrugged.

Tang Hao crossed his arms and sneered, "Formalism."

"Okay, it's about to start, everyone should be more energetic." Yu Wenzhou said in a low voice.

Fang Rui looked around: "By the way, who will draw lots later?"

"Ye Xiu?"

"It's not good, he and Bai Mo have done so many immoral things in the Tenth District and the Domain of God."

"There are no weak teams in the knockout round."

"That's the truth, but facing the French team and the like can also have a good adjustment period."

"Then who will play? Team Yu is also a warlock."

"Don't let Fang Rui come."

"Where's Zhang Jiale?"

"Hurry up and get out. Although that guy won a championship, don't forget that he was Sanya back then."

"A master tactician is no good. Who else is there, Wang Jiexi?"

"The winning streak in the middle is broken, let's forget it?"

"Where's Chu Yunxiu?"

"Change someone who has won the championship? Hey, sister Yunxiu, I was wrong..."

A group of people began to discuss in low voices.

Both Ye Xiu and Bai Mo raised their eyes, and they really didn't have the energy to pay attention to these guys. These days, one of them is studying the opponent's tactics, and the other is studying silver weapons, which is indeed a bit exhausting.

In the end, it was decided that Zhou Zekai would step forward to draw lots. Xiao Zhou just smiled and did not refuse.

The drawn labels are composed of two ABCDs each, a total of eight small balls, and the players with the letter balls will compete, starting from Group A and ending with Group D.

In the second round, four-in-two is A vs. D, and B vs. C.

Representatives of the eight national teams stepped forward to draw numbered balls from the original order of grouping.

"Team USA, Group A." The referee glanced at the numbered ball in God's hand and announced loudly.

"Don't come up and run into them... Those guys are more or less outrageous." Fang Rui broke into a cold sweat.

"It doesn't matter, no matter who comes, I will win." Tang Hao said calmly.

"Since you became a title, I feel that you have really drifted away..."

"You can practice if you are not convinced." Tang Hao cast a sideways glance at Fang Rui.

"I'll play when I get back tonight! I'll choose the map."

"You want to be ashamed."

"How much is that thing per catty, I'll sell it to you."

"Neon team, group D!" Amaterasu showed the number plate in his hand.

"Team Rotten, Group B."

"Italian team... Group A."

"Oh, some unlucky guy has appeared." Andvari laughed gloatingly.

"I'm really looking forward to who we will meet..." Rocky tapped the handrail lightly, but his eyes kept looking in the direction of the Huaxia team: "I said before that I have the right to challenge at home. I can challenge Bai Mo and I won't go back on my word Bar?"

"Before you gave up your place in the Hall of Fame in exchange, we, the Knights of the Round Table, supported it." Arthur nodded.

Rocky calmed down, and continued to focus on the draw on the field.

"Huaxia...Group C!" Zhou Zekai handed the numbered ball to the referee, and the referee nodded. Group C, which had been vacant on the screen, was finally filled.

"Fortunately, if you look at it this way, as long as you don't meet the Russian United team, there shouldn't be any big problems." Xiao Shiqin heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xinjie glanced at him: "We still need to be wary of the opponent's cards and tactics."

"You don't need to worry about this, okay..." Xiao Shiqin rolled his eyes.

"Australia...Group B!" The second formed opponent appeared.

"The Australian team went to fight those guys from the Rotten Country?" Guo Mingyu was stunned for a moment: "Although Bechymos' integration with the team isn't too bad, but facing the guys from the Rotten Country might be a bit..."

"The result probably won't be too good." Ye Xiu rubbed his eyes, yawned, subconsciously wanted to pick up a cigarette to refresh himself, but stopped halfway.

Well, let's go out and smoke later... These foreign cigarettes are really boring. Ye Xiu sighed melancholy.

"But it's not a bad thing for us. No matter who wins between the two sides, we are relatively familiar." Yu Wenzhou said with a smile: "Team Zhou really drew a good lottery."

"That's right, why don't you see Huang Shaotian talk a lot these two days?" Sun Xiang and You Rongyan nodded, then turned to look at Huang Shaotian who was sitting on a chair with his head drooping.

"I was given some okra juice by Team Yu when I first went out." Bai Mo said gloatingly, "I guess I'm feeling uncomfortable now."

"Hahahahaha..."

Ignoring Huang Shaotian's almost murderous eyes, Sun Xiang laughed wantonly.

Andvari on the other side looked over enviously: "Those guys are always so happy no matter what."

"That's right... It's much better than other teams' intrigue." Merlin nodded: "Even if we have Odin and Arthur on our side, we still don't have the opportunity to joke around like they do."

"Indeed..."

"You said, is there a possibility that they are all people who live under the persecution of Ye Xiu and Bai Mo and report to the group for warmth?"

"..." Immediately, the expressions on the faces of the other members of the Rotten National Team turned into sympathy and pity.

"Russian United...Group D!"

Then the last remaining French team naturally belonged to the ranks of Group C.

It was a coincidence that the four recognized strong teams belonging to the first place in the group stage were all assigned to the second-ranked team in each group, but this was different from the group stage. Certainty, so that one chasing two can happen at any time.

"Our match is the day after tomorrow...then you all have a good rest tomorrow. Yu Wenzhou and Zhang Xinjie will preside over the meeting and the deployment of the players. Tomorrow, Xiaobai and I will come to the venue to watch the match." Seeing that Zhou Zekai had returned, Ye Xiu nodded and said: "Anyone have any other questions?"

"No, go back and rest quickly, I'm almost exhausted these two days."

"It's just that you two have to work hard again..."

"It's hard work... It's not worth mentioning." Bai Mo chuckled and shook his phone: "It's not just us, those guys in China are also very excited."

Loulan Slash: 【Teacher, God, I've already booked the air tickets, and I'll go to see your competition on the final day! 】

...

"These guys..." Yu Wenzhou smiled and shook his head.

"Let's treat them better next season..." Bai Mo also shook his head.

Moriarty: [Thank you. 】

Liu Yun: [Why did this guy become an administrator! 】

Troubling Rain: [Fuck, shit, shit, shit, that's right, the group owner, why didn't you give me an administrator! 】

Moriarty: [I met by chance a few days ago and asked for an administrator. 】

...

"Let's go, go back and rest and hurry up training, you don't want to be laughed at by these guys." Ye Xiu shook his head with a smile, turned and walked towards the outside of the field.

"I will definitely not lose!"

"Let's go, no matter what you say when you go back tonight, you have to practice for a while."

"Shut up and stop eating indiscriminately these days."

"Be careful not to catch a cold or something."

Bai Mo and Ye Xiu couldn't help exhorting.

"It's alright, you two, you're really acting like an old lady now." Sun Xiang waved his hand impatiently.

This kid... After the World Invitational Tournament, he must be punished.

Bai Mo thought with a smile on his face.

Nine o'clock the next day

"The scenes of the knockout round and the group stage are really different..." Bai Mo couldn't help but click his tongue when he looked at the auditorium below who worked overtime last night and changed the national flags as decorations.

"After all, the knockout round..." Ye Xiu smiled and shook his head: "Back then, didn't there be things like odds on the platform? How about now?"

Regarding this, there is still a certain basis. After all, although the platform owners may not understand Glory, they can hire many people who understand Glory to do analysis. Many famous retired professional players from various countries have been pulled over, even A guess was made about the winning percentage of each team in each game.

Of course, this is still the practice of some more formal platforms, more of those underground platforms, and the methods they use are even more unlimited.

Black games, black hands, emerge in endlessly.

"The Italian team's winning rate has not improved much, but the American team's winning rate has dropped a lot." Bai Mo smiled, put away his phone, and looked at Ye Xiu: "Speaking of which, I should thank Brother Ye for coming. on."

"Huh? What does it have to do with me?" Ye Xiu asked innocently.

Bai Mo said helplessly: "You really don't have a little self-consciousness. You broke God's undefeated golden body in the Hall of Fame event. Didn't you say something? Now God is showing his health bar. It’s no longer that impeccable plot monster.”

"Uh, what's that saying?" Ye Xiu shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with those guys, right?"

"No problem, isn't Xiao Lu watching there? That guy has been strict since he was a child, so what can go wrong."

Ye Xiu nodded, and didn't worry about the other side any more. Bai Mo and Ye Xiu were quite at ease with the two of them, their playmates since childhood.

As for these two guys, one is a young man who has been in various Internet cafes since junior high school. At that time, Internet cafes were not as peaceful and civilized as they are now. Without an ID card, you can only go to Xiaohei Internet cafes. Quite a few, Ye Xiu didn't fight less back then, and his hands were also bad. After all, he was trained a lot in the family environment since he was a child, so naturally he didn't suffer any big losses.

Bai Mo understands better. He is alone in a foreign country, and there are many foreigners outside who are not friendly to the people of the country, and the phenomenon of bullying is more terrifying than that in China. Bai Mo himself is not a good-tempered person, so naturally Basically a small frame every three days, and a big frame every five days.

If there is really someone, like the guy from the Korean national team before, the two of them might really be able to fight two against thirteen.

"It's started. There shouldn't be anyone coming today, right?" Ye Xiu glanced behind him.

"Well, after all, we've entered the knockout round, and we should avoid things that should be avoided. If there is anything else we want to talk about, it's not too late to communicate after the end." Bai Mo said with a smile.

The first round of the knockout round, the Italian team played against the US team, officially began.

The U.S. team won the right to host the game. In the first round, the U.S. team decided on the selection of the map. In the next round, the Italian team. If there is a third round, it will be randomly determined by the system.

"Did Hercules start? It's a very common choice. Is it because you are too confident or can't see the opponent's way and choose a temporary defense?" Mimir frowned. He didn't play in the first game. You need to play, so come ahead and collect your opponent's data.

"Cut, don't you need to think about it." Andvari curled his lips in displeasure: "I really don't know what they are arguing about, how the strongest God they have been advocating has been trampled into, and how dare they be arrogant. "

"But God is still very strong. For a super monster like Ye Xiu, can you find another one in the whole world?" Mimir asked seriously.

"Tsk..." Andvari closed his mouth.

The Italian team on the opposite side soon played a professional fighting player, one of the Hall of Fame players, Italian Glory Professional Judo professional title player [Shengong] David.

"Italy guessed what the US team was thinking, so they sent their strongest players in the first individual game to avoid the risk of being challenged and take the lead in scoring a point to win what they deserve. Momentum."

"The idea is quite ingenious."

"But doesn't this also mean that they basically have no confidence in winning the next group arena?"

"After all, there is God..."

Bai Mo sighed: "It feels like the Italian team is already at a disadvantage..."

"Hmm." Ye Xiu also sighed helplessly, "It seems that we both think the same thing."

The U.S. team will probably not use the right to challenge against the Italian team.

This is not an intentional psychological tactic, but they believe that facing the Italian team has not yet reached the time to use tactics.

God knows how broken the Italian team's mentality will be after the start of the fourth individual game...
