Full-time master: return is still a teenager

Twenty professional players gathered in the conference room of the league headquarters.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's have a formal meeting." Ye Xiu, the new member of the national team and the first captain and team leader, was responsible for presiding over the meeting, but he only said a few words, "Wenzhou, before The negotiation is between you and Chairman Feng. You can explain the final rules in detail. "

"Okay." Yu Wenzhou responded, stood up and took Ye Xiu's place.

The national team member and deputy team leader, no, I should say he should be the main team leader. Including Ye Xiu himself, everyone felt that this person was more suitable to be the team leader than him. However, after all, Ye Xiu had higher qualifications, and he also had to Considering the fans' opinions, Blue Rain fans will not have any objections to this arrangement, but if Ye Xiu helps Yu Wenzhou, even if Ye Xiu has no objections, Ye Xiu's fans will not do it either...

It's a good thing that Han Wenqing didn't come, otherwise it's hard to say what would happen to the fans of Ye Xiu and Han Wenqing, um... Besides, these two guys might have started to trouble themselves first.

"First of all, everyone is clear about the personnel and account requirements." Yu Wenzhou said, "Normally speaking, players using account cards that do not belong to them will lower their level, but we have special cases, and we have specially strived for this. "

"Great job!" a special case praised.

"The game time is the same as in China. It starts at eight o'clock every night, but it is Zurich time, so everyone needs to adjust. You must adjust your schedule as soon as possible after arriving in Zurich." Yu Wenzhou continued, focusing on Zhang Xinjie, and then The reporter nodded.

In terms of time, he is indeed the one who needs the most attention.

"The sixteen participating countries will draw lots and be divided into four groups for the group stage. The group stage will adopt a double-elimination system. Each group will determine two teams for the quarterfinals."

"Uh... what is a double-elimination elimination system?" Fang Rui asked. He had never been exposed to this type of competition system.

"You are promoted if you win two games, and you are eliminated if you lose two games." Mu Qiu, the vice-captain of the national team, explained that although Mu Qiu was not qualified for this position in terms of seniority, but comprehensively considered, Mu Qiu is the only one who has ever done so. This aspect is also very important for those who have experience competing abroad. Even if he is participating in a Go league, Mu Qiu also has the qualifications based on his strength.

"For example," Mu Qiu said, "Britain, South Korea, Japan, and the United States are in a group. If the South Korean team defeats the United States and the United Kingdom, it does not need to play the Japanese team again and directly advances to the quarterfinals. The American team defeated Japan and lost to the British team. The British team lost to the Korean team and defeated the American team. That is, the British team and the American team won one game each. The Japanese team that lost two games was eliminated, and the British team and the American team played again. One game, the winner will advance, the loser will be eliminated.”

"I understand." Fang Rui nodded, "Captain Yu, please continue."

"The group stage uses the same competition system as the regular season, with individual competition, three-person arena competition, and team competition, totaling 10 points, divided into home and away games. Just like the challenge match, a coin toss determines who goes home first, and the total score is calculated at the end." Yu Wenzhou He continued, "The quarterfinals will start with the same format as the playoffs, with a five-man arena plus a team competition. The same is a single game, best-of-three games."

"The most important point." Yu Wenzhou said at last, "Regarding the team competition, considering that each country has different team competition rules, for example, several countries like us are five-on-five plus a substitute, while some countries are six-on-six. There are no substitutes, some countries will use in-team voice-over, and some countries will rely on typing just like us.”

"Therefore, the rules of the team competition are mainly based on the rules adapted to the home team, and the map is also based on the map of the country. If a third game is required in the quarter-finals and subsequent games, the rules are determined by tossing a coin just like the home and away games. The map is a map specially produced by Honor officials for the World Invitational Tournament.”

"In other words, we still need to adapt to six-on-six team battles, but our opponents also need to adapt to our style of play." Ye Xiu said, "It's relatively fair."

"No, strictly speaking, it is more beneficial to us, because we have never used voice in the team." Yu Wenzhou said with a smile, "After liberating voice, the operations we can perform in team competitions will be even better."

"Indeed." Ye Xiu nodded, "But is there not enough time?"

The group stage is a double-elimination system, that is, each group will play four games, with a total of eight home and away games. The four groups are 32 games. Even if the four groups play at the same time, it will take eight days.

The quarterfinals start the same as the playoffs. Even if you don’t take into account the third game, each game is two games. The quarterfinals alone are eight days. Three games in each game is twelve days, which makes it twenty days. The competition lasted only twenty-one days.

"The group stage, the quarter-finals, and the semi-finals are all held simultaneously." Yu Wenzhou said, "After all, each team represents each country, so people from their own country are basically watching. Those who are interested in other countries can do so. Watch it online.”

"In that case, time is quite tight." Mu Qiu said.

If there are three games at the beginning of the quarter-finals, eight days for the group stage, and three days for the quarter-finals and the finals, that will be seventeen days. If the remaining four days are played all the way, some processes may be leaked before the game. One day, that is the end of the group stage, the end of the quarter-finals, and the end of the semi-finals. They can each have a day off. Oh, there is a rest time in the middle of the group stage.

This is more compact than the playoffs, and the opponents are all elite players from various countries. The intensity of each game will not be lower than the domestic finals. Young people are okay, but veterans like Ye Xiu and Wang Jiexi have to consider There is a physical problem, and there is Zhang Xinjie. Other players can also take turns, Zhang Xinjie...he has to play in every game if it is not necessary.

"We just have to overcome this." Yu Wenzhou spread his hands.

"You continue." Mu Qiu said.

"Then there is the issue of communication. The participating team members will be issued simultaneous translators by the organizing committee for daily communication." Yu Wenzhou said, "The communication between the two parties within the competition can only be through typing on the public channel. The content input by the players on both sides will be passed through the system. Automatic translation is presented to the opponent and the audience. Of course, swearing, insulting opponents or referees, inappropriate remarks and other behaviors will be given a yellow card, and two yellow cards will be replaced by a red card. "

"Beautiful! Mr. Huang can talk trash as he wants!" Fang Rui pumped his fist excitedly.

"You almost hit me if you took your time..." Zhang Jiale, who was standing next to him, shrank back and said, then he thought of something, "Wait a minute, what did the dead man say?"

"We only have the rule that the dead cannot speak." Yu Wenzhou said with a smile, "No other country has thought of this rule, so naturally we will not rush to add it."

"Well done!" Zhang Jiale couldn't help but pump his fist this time. The conference room suddenly became happy, and all nineteen people's eyes were on the same position - Huang Shaotian.

"For the first time, I'm happy for your trash-talking talent." Wang Jiexi said.

"Young Master Huang, please work hard." Chu Yunxiu said with a smile.

"Come on Shaotian!"

"Come on, Mr. Huang!"
