Chapter 673: The Eve of the World Championship
Alliance Island, Baiyin City, which is in line with skyscrapers and ordinary tall buildings, has become the venue for the Alliance Conference that is held every four years.
Baiyin City is one of the largest cities on the earth and a city with cultural integration. Its internal technological facilities are combined with natural landscapes just right. Although there are many tall buildings, the greening is also done in place.
And on both sides, the sea happens to be the sea.
On April 20, the day after the Chinese team arrived.
In Baiyin City, the Chinese Player Village.
"It's early."
In front of the conference room, when Fang Yuan arrived here, he happened to meet Tang Xinlan wearing a red and white team uniform.
This time, the color of the Chinese national team uniform is red and white, and the style is similar to the red style of Fangyuan.
"It's getting late, and the meeting time will be in one minute." Tang Xinlan said silently and walked directly into the conference room.
At nine o'clock this morning, a total of ten national team trainers will hold a group meeting familiar with the rules of the World Championship.
"Just not be late." Fang Yuan also followed in. After entering the door, he glanced at the seven people who had already taken the seat in the conference room.
Team one, Su Shu, Yun Kai, Xu Haoran, Xie Qingyi.
Team 2, Shang Ren, Mu Fan, and Zheng Hongyi.
With Fang Yuan and Tang Xinlan taking the seat, the champion Jiang Li was the only one left.
In other words, Jiang Li, who was holding a bunch of documents, walked into the room and said in his mouth: "Sorry, I'm going to pick up some things temporarily, it's a little late."
Jiang Li looked helpless and walked onto the holographic projection operation table, and suddenly said, "Why don't Yun Kai, come and talk, it feels so troublesome..."
On the seat, Yun Kai said nothing and just shook his head.
Compared to Jiang Li, Yun Kai's personality is more suitable to be the captain, but it is just a personality. In terms of strength and tactical qualities, Jiang Li is more convinced.
Jiang Li scratched his head, then looked at everyone one by one. He knew all the members of the first team, and the second team was also very familiar with each other. After all, everyone had been doing special training together for a period of time, and the only Fang Yuan who did not participate in the special training and came to the Elf Alliance to receive the award in advance... Well, it would be better if you don't mention it.
Some people are the commander-in-chief of the national team on the surface and the captain of the first team, but in private, they are still working as bodyguards for the members of the second team.
It's outrageous!!
Jiang Li opened the holographic projection device and said, "In terms of the rules, I think everyone has already understood it in advance. I will tell the long story short of the explanation process, and the meeting time is mainly used for discussion."
As an electronic music passed, badges from 136 countries appeared on the screen behind Jiang Li.
"This World Championship, a total of 136 countries participated."
After Jiang Li finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong and said, "Don't be so serious. I can interrupt and ask questions when I speak."
The scene was silent again.
Su Shu smiled and said, "Which country among these countries has superpowered players?"
Jiang Li said: "I don't know, in short, there are a total of 136 countries participating in this World Championship, each country is divided into one team and two teams, so there are a total of 272 teams, that is, 1,360 trainers."
"The teams of participating countries will compete in the form of a national confrontation, and the specific form of a national confrontation is divided into three modes..."
Everyone present is no stranger to the rules of the battle.
The rules of the China-Japan exchange competition are determined by China and Japan based on the rules of the World League Conference.
The purpose is to let the contestants adapt in advance.
National Confrontation, 3 individual games, 2 team games, and 1 ring game.
The points that win in the three modes are 2 points, 2 points, 3 points, and a total of 13 points. The higher the score wins.
"Among them, the members of the second team can serve as substitutes for the first team, but only one person per game is limited to one person." Jiang Li continued.
As he finished speaking, the members of the second team looked at Fang Yuan’s great devil in despair. At this time, Fang Yuan was also smiling at them.
This rule...then there is nothing to do.
With Fang Yuan, most of the other second team members are not even qualified to be substitute.
"But these are not the biggest changes. The biggest changes are that the entire second team can directly participate in the World Championship this time."
“The following is the point.”
"There are 16 seed teams in 272 teams, which do not need to participate in the preliminary round and advance to the final championship. These teams are the first teams of the top 16 countries in the last league conference. In other words, I, Su Shu, Yun Kai, Xu Haoran, and Xie Qingyi, can advance to the main competition directly."
The strength of the four kings of China's team can definitely rank among the top five in the world, and naturally it is within the last top 16.
In order to avoid these strong powers and teams meeting too early, this World Championship has other arrangements for these top players.
"Except for 16 seed teams, there are still 256 teams left, including 120, 1 and 136, and 2 teams, and they will participate in the preliminary round together." Jiang Li looked at Fang Yuan and others and said.
"The competition will divide these 256 teams into 16 major competition areas based on their strength. Among the 16 teams in each competition area, one team and two teams each account for about half of the number. These 16 teams will compete for the championship in this competition area."
"In the end, the champion team in the 16 major competition zones will join 16 seed teams to compete in the final championship and decide the world champion."
"The reason why the Chinese Association attaches more importance to the second team this time is because at this conference, the number of games that the second team members may participate in is theoretically greater than that of the first team members." Jiang Li analyzed.
"In other words, as long as our second team defeats the first team from other countries one after another and becomes the champion of the competition, there may even be two Chinese teams in the final championship." Shang Rendao.
"That's right, if 32 decisive teams, one country occupies two, it would be a great honor." Yun Kai said.
"However, according to the draw rules, the first round of the 16 teams in each competition area is basically the first team of a certain country against the second team of a certain country. The draw mode is extremely strict with the second team. If the second team does not have absolute strength, it will basically be eliminated by the first team of another country in the first round and can only continue to be a substitute." Xu Haoran said.
"Our second team, in the next division battle, is very likely to meet a first team from a certain country in the first round."
"It doesn't matter, our second team cannot be treated as a normal second team." Xie Qingyi smiled.
As one of the five major countries, China can crush the first team of some small and medium-sized countries even if it is the second team. Moreover, there are Fang Yuan and Shang Ren, two aces with top combat power, will be even more stable.
"That's right, our second team is still very strong overall. The first team of a big country, a strong country, and a regional big country are basically seed teams. The first team we meet will not be very strong. Only if we are crushed, if we work hard, the championship in the competition area is still hopeful." Fang Yuan said.
In regional competitions, there are 4 games and four consecutive games to enter the decisive championship.
Fang Yuan glanced at Shang Ren, Tang Xinlan, Zheng Hongyi, Mu Fan and others, and felt that there was no problem.
Shang Ren's strength is definitely relatively strong in this World Championship. In addition, he himself is not unable to win even if he encounters the Four Heavenly King teams from some regional powers.
Tang Xinlan said: "Received."
Zheng Hongyi and Mu Fan also said, "I understand."
"So the goal of the second team this time is to become the champion of the competition area and allow two Chinese teams to appear among the 32 teams competing for the world championship." Fang Yuan said.
After entering the finals, it doesn’t matter whether the second team can continue to move forward.
At that time, you will definitely encounter strong enemies. The team's overall strength cannot be improved, and it cannot be carried by Monk Fang Yuan. However, there is no way to do so. But even if you lose at that time, the members of the second team will still have the opportunity to become the substitute for the first team and continue to be active on the stage of the world competition.
"Although the battle is mainstream, those special games cannot be ignored." Jiang Li added after a heated discussion.
Although there is no need to participate in the preliminaries of the competition, this does not mean that during the competition between other teams, 16 seed teams will be fully watched.
They will participate in another special competition similar to the Olympics.
The special competition is divided into 18 entertainment activities, which correspond to 18 attributes such as general, fire, insect, water, and poison...
These 18 activities...only elves with corresponding attributes can be participated, and each activity has a different form.
And 80 players from these 16 seed teams will be free to register to compete for the country for 18 gold medals, 18 silver medals and 18 bronze medals.
Special competitions are not battles, and combat power factors are not particularly important. For activities such as flight skills competitions, water surfing competitions, etc., coordination ability and energy control levels occupy greater factors.
In addition to the elves battle, the special game between the seed teams, such entertainment games will also attract a considerable number of viewers. At the same time, although it is not a game, it is also a good opportunity to see the strength of the trainer elves of other seed teams. After all, no matter what ability it is, it is part of the strength.
In addition to the special competitions of the seed team, 256 teams participating in the preliminary competition also have different forms of entertainment competitions, interspersed in the battle. During this long world competition, the competition party took great pains to avoid aesthetic fatigue among audiences from all over the world.
