The schedule of the team competition is basically the same as that of the single player competition. The four groups ABC and D will play alternately. The first place in the first round will have a better schedule.
As the first place in Group B of the team competition, Sichuan University will appear in the second game.
In the first game, England's Imperial Beast University, the top team in Group A, took the lead and faced off against Ellis University from Argentina, which was completely defeated in the first round.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and the Imperial Beasts won their first victory in the second round of the group stage without much effort.
Seeing the overwhelming victory of the Imperial Beast Controller, many viewers in England went to the social account of Hogwarts University to provoke and curse.
"Have you seen the performance of the imperial beast master? Study hard!"
"With Hogwarts's performance, do you have the nerve to call yourself the number one university in the country?"
"It's time to wake up. Your time has long passed."
"The worst term, a disgrace to the empire!"
"A player's performance should not be raised to the level of a school."
"..."
…
Phoenix vs. Battlefield backstage, in the lounge of Hogwarts.
The always amiable Hagrid Gandalf looked serious now and projected the message from the Hogwarts social account onto the TV.
"Have you seen these messages?"
"Have you read these messages clearly?"
After hearing Hagrid Gandalf's two consecutive questions, Stan Lucan, Elvy Cameron and others all clenched their fists and nodded heavily.
“Once you see it clearly, keep these doubts in your mind!”
"The journey of life is always full of doubts!"
"Ordinary people have no ability and can only tolerate it, ignore it, and pretend not to care."
"And a truly strong person will ruthlessly defeat people's doubts about themselves!"
"In the first round, you missed the opportunity to become a strong player."
"Now that the opportunity has come to you again, can you seize it?"
"able!"
Stan Lucien was the first to grit his teeth and roar, and Elvie Cameron and others immediately responded in unison.
In an instant, the eyes of everyone in the room burned with the desire for revenge and to prove themselves.
…
In the lounge of Sichuan University.
Hong Bo did not underestimate the enemy. He scanned the crowd to ensure that Chen Wen and others were all focused.
"Winning the first round is indeed smooth, but it doesn't mean you will definitely qualify!"
"Six years ago, the University of Washington in the 2017 Global Competition also achieved a record of three wins and zero losses in the death group."
"However, they encountered Waterloo in the second round. First, they only achieved 1 win and 2 losses in the second round robin, and then they failed one after another in the subsequent play-offs and were eliminated!"
After saying this, Hong Bo paused and then sneered.
"There are talented people from generation to generation, and I believe that the University of Washington hopes that we can replicate their 'feat'."
"In this way, when we use the example of carelessness in Jingzhou in the future, we won't just focus on their school."
Listening to Hong Bo's cold joke, no one laughed, and all looked tense.
No one wants to be nailed to the pillar of shame!
Observing that everyone was indeed not arrogant, Hong Bo nodded slightly and once again told him what to pay attention to when fighting Hogwarts.
"Be careful of the attack of the three-headed chimera and the control of the storm naga."
"Hogwarts must have thought of a way to break Yinglong's tactics in the past few days. Don't rush to combine after entering the field. Let the fire-breathing ape and earth dragon beast attack first."
"Chen Wen judged the fighter opportunities and used Yinglong tactics at the right time..."
Just as he was talking, the organizer's staff had already knocked on the door of the lounge.
Hong Bo quickly finished the key points, and then patted Chen Wen and others on the shoulders one after another.
"Come on!"
Chen Wen and others nodded and filed out behind Gong Zikun.
…
"Next is the first game of Group B!"
"Let us welcome from England..."
"Hogwarts University—!
"
"And those from China..."
"Nishikawa University——!
"
As the host finished speaking, there was only a boom, and the audience burst into cheers.
In an instant, it was as if a helicopter passed over the auditorium at low altitude, and a sonic boom of mountain roars and tsunamis erupted.
“Nishikawa University!
Nishikawa University!
——”
"Hogwarts!
Hogwarts!
——”
"Elvie!
Elvie!
——”
"Chen Wen!
Chen Wen!
——”
"..."
Compared with the first game, which was clearly divided between strong and weak, the audience was more looking forward to the game between Nishikawa University and Hogwarts.
Needless to say, Sichuan University has proved their strength by ranking first in the group.
And Hogwarts, no matter how poor it is, is still one of the most powerful beast-controlling universities in England. With two beasts with epic potential, their strength cannot be underestimated.
If in previous years, the grouping was slightly better, they would have no problem reaching the quarterfinals.
Under the spotlight, the players from both sides quickly arrived on the battlefield and stood in their respective preparation areas.
In an instant, Chen Wen and others noticed something unusual, and their expressions changed.
…
In the Huaguo live broadcast room.
"There are substitutes at Hogwarts University, and there are two substitutes in the first semester!"
"Grace Allen! Susan Hillary!"
Gu Gu, who was fully prepared, quickly read out the names of the three substitutes, and then said: "Their main pet beasts are the narwhal beluga and the duck-billed water dragon..."
When Fang Xing heard this, his face darkened and he said, "They want water fighting. Except for Abao, none of the main pet beasts in Sichuan University are good at water fighting."
Gu Gu couldn't help showing a worried look, and reluctantly said: "It should be fine. Sichuan University encountered water-based fields many times during the Asian Qualifying Tournament, but won every time."
Fang Xing shook his head, his expression still serious.
Can the opponents in the Asian Qualifiers be the same as those in the Global Competition?
In the Asian Qualifying Tournament, Po was unscrupulous.
But in the global competition, almost every strong team has someone who can arm-wrestle with Abao.
Whether he can win or not is another matter, but at least he can contain Po for a while.
Moreover, he did not forget that Storm Naga turned into a water chain to restrain the Fire-breathing Ape and Earth Dragon Beast in the first round of the competition.
That is a secret-level skill, and even Abao may not be able to break free.
After hearing the commentator's analysis and watching the changes in Hogwarts, the originally optimistic audience in the live broadcast room suddenly became excited.
…
On the field, Chen Wen and others also analyzed the purpose of Hogwarts.
Gong Zikun looked at Chen Wen and suggested: "The venue is a grassland terrain. Although the five pet beasts at Hogwarts all have water attributes, they cannot instantly transform the battlefield into a water attribute venue. Therefore, if Sichuan University wants to win,
It must be resolved quickly!”
By the end of the sentence, his brows were already furrowed.
Before the game started, Hong Bo's strategy for them was to let the Fire Breathing Ape and Earth Dragon Beast Sheep attack first, and then test the situation and then let Po, Gale Blue Bird and Shadow Wolf merge into Yinglong to break the game.
To prevent Po from falling into a trap, being restrained by Storm Naga or being attacked by the three-headed Chimera.
But the situation we are facing now is that Sichuan University must take the initiative to attack and make a quick decision.
If they cannot get enough benefits from Hogwarts before the Hogwarts University side has completed the renovation of the venue, then they are likely to face failure.
The tactics laid out before the game were different from the best response based on the on-site situation, so several people hesitated for a while.
Seeing that the preparation time was about to end, Chen Wen said decisively: "First carry out fire suppression, and then the fire-breathing ape and earth dragon beast attack. The other pet beasts follow my command!"
Seeing the referee raise his right hand, Gong Zikun had no choice but to nod.
