Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

Chapter 333 332. Signed and exchanged

It wasn't until after five o'clock in the afternoon that today's games were officially over.

However, due to double elimination, no one was eliminated after the first round today. Instead, the 32 people who won the game entered the winner's group, and the 32 people who failed entered the loser's group, and the game will continue tomorrow.

Tomorrow the losers of the loser group will be eliminated directly, while the losers of the winner group will enter the loser group and continue to form 32 people for the losers match.

At this time, Ying Jie came on stage to draw the lottery for tomorrow's winner's group.

Because there is no evasion from the same country in this competition, everyone draws lots in a basket.

"Number three."

Ying Jie looked at the numbers on the white chess pieces he pulled out and said something.

Nowadays, there are more and more tricks in drawing lots. The winning group of the Datong Cup uses white chess pieces with black numbers to draw lots, while the loser group uses black chess pieces with white numbers.

And the organizer also provides a small hanging chain, which you can use as a bracelet or a necklace for decoration. It can also be regarded as a souvenir for participating in the competition.

After drawing lots, Ying Jie went directly to the seat below and sat down.

"I don't know who will be unlucky enough to draw you tomorrow."

Looking at Ying Jie who came back from the lottery, Xiao Xiao said with a smile beside him.

Because there are no other countries to avoid, Japanese and Korean chess players often encounter Ying Jie first, but now their own chess players will also encounter Ying Jie.

There is no doubt that as the big devil in the audience, whoever encounters him will be unlucky.

"What's the rush? It's not you anyway."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but cover his heart, feeling heartbroken.

Really untouchable.

Because there are already two groups.

After finally reaching the World Series, Xiao Xiao and Fan Ruoyu encountered strong opponents at the beginning and started a civil war with their own families, and then both lost.

Xiao Xiao met Lu Li Ninth Dan. Although Lu Li Ninth Dan said every day that he was old and couldn't play anymore, he really wanted to consider retiring. How could he strengthen the promotion and development of Go for himself?

A lot of words were said, but the rating still remained strong at third place.

To say that levels are resting on their laurels is pure nonsense.

The higher the level, the lower the score for winning a round, but once you lose a round, you lose.

Just like Ying Jie's current score, if he loses one game, he may have to win five or six games to earn it back. If he loses a larger game, it will take more than ten consecutive wins to earn it back.

The higher the level, the more difficult it is to maintain it, and capital sometimes becomes a burden.

So facing the ninth-level Lu Li who was in his late prime, Xiao Xiao, who had not yet become a complete body, punched him fiercely and then sent it.

Fan Ruoyu lost track of his ideas and directly met the second deposed prince in active service, the Supreme Prince Wang Shimingzhi.

Although Fan Ruoyu was not much worse than Shi Mingzhi in terms of strength and had hope of winning, he still had problems with his hand in the middle game and unfortunately lost.

In this way, the two most promising new generations entered the loser's bracket in the first round.

Without Tongguo's avoidance, it would be so painful to face a strong opponent of his own, and whoever loses would be a loss.

"It's okay, only one person does not need to enter the loser group in this competition, it does not matter whether he enters in the first round or the last round.

As long as you keep winning, you can enter the finals, right? "

Compared with Xiao Xiao, who felt like there were dark clouds floating over his head after losing in the first round, Fan Ruoyu seemed very calm and calm.

It's just a loss. As long as there is a chance later, there is hope of winning.

"Player Park Jung Hwan, No. 4."

When he heard the numbers he was playing against, Ying Jie subconsciously raised his head and took a look. Standing on the stage was Park Zhenghuan, who had just given a world championship to Ying Jie some time ago.

"Park Jung-hwan, he is still the second-ranked person in Korea, right?

The first round was Go Yong-ha, the second round was Park Jung-hwan, and the third round shouldn't be Choi Taek, who ranks third in South Korea's rating. "

Looking at the number drawn, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but said with a smile.

In the first two rounds, I directly met the No. 1 and No. 2 chess players from South Korea. This can be said to be a bad luck.

Fortunately it was Ying Jie, otherwise if it were anyone else, his mentality would have collapsed in advance.

"Bah! How could my luck be so bad? I have no idea until now!"

Although it doesn't matter who the opponent is, why fight the strong one when you can meet the weak one?

Although they both won, the energy to win Gao Yongxiahua and the energy to win Xiao Xiao were not on the same level.

Why do you have to work so hard to fight one by one when you can win?

Just like the LP Cup, if you are a seeded player, you can become the world champion if you win four games directly, and there will be bonuses.

Having a lot of money and having few things to do is something everyone likes.

For example, the Datong Cup is undoubtedly the most complicated world championship with the most competitions at present, but Ying Jie couldn't bear the high prize money, so Ying Jie accepted it.

There is a legendary experience in life, killing all the way to win the championship, just to satisfy the sense of ritual.

Later, everyone wanted to win by lying down.

It would be better not to send all the trophies and bonuses directly to my home.

"But Park Jung Hwan."

Seeing Park Zhenghuan standing on the stage, Ying Jie couldn't help but think of his opponent's performance in the Ying's Cup final.

As mentioned before, off-board moves, a feature of Go, are inevitable.

Even with the development of today's perfect rules, turning the chess pieces upside down to make the opponent awkward, wearing strange clothes to distract the opponent are all tricks to some extent.

Some people even sighed during the game, and the opponent rolled their eyes, and then reported that the opponent rolled their eyes and disrespected them.

Off-market moves are really hard to define.

Of course, the pinnacle of the psychological warfare of outside the game is when a certain veteran pretends to make a move during the countdown period in the game, trying to deceive the opponent into making two moves in a row and directly lose the game.

However, due to the time pressure of the countdown, the seniors were afraid that they would time out and made the move first. Otherwise, if it were a little later, it would really become a famous game with an off-board move.

Off-game moves are unavoidable, and sometimes it's hard to tell right from wrong. For example, in the last century, there was a debate about turning on the air conditioner during the game. One player should turn on the air conditioner during the game, and the other should not turn on the air conditioner.

One person says it's not good if you don't open it, and the other says it's not good if you open it.

In the end, the organizers could only turn on and off for half an hour, and the results were ridiculous.

However, Park Zhenghuan's filling and left and right bows are already regarded as intra-game moves to a certain extent, and it is difficult not to be annoying.

So I have to work harder for tomorrow’s game.

Just as Ying Jie was thinking about it, he saw Xiao Xiao coming back from the loser group draw, with an even more painful expression on his face.

"Gao Yongxia."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but shook his head. He had complained about Ying Jie's luck just now, but he didn't know that he was the real one.

In the World Series, he faced the former No. 1 player from China and South Korea in two consecutive games.

What kind of blessing is it when the number one person in both countries serves one of them at the same time?
