After resting in the hotel for a day, Gao Lin and others followed Sai Fang to visit the Toyota Center the next day to get familiar with the environment.
The competition team prepared a special training room for Gao Lin and the others, but since other participating teams have not arrived yet, the training room has not been opened.
At noon, the DAGA.BenT team also came from China and stayed at the Yas Hotel. Gao Lin and his team stayed on the third floor, while DAGA.BenT and his team stayed on the fourth floor.
After DAGA.BenT, a Singaporean team or a Vietnamese team also stayed in the hotel one after another.
There are 12 teams that can participate in the Fed Cup finals, including Russia's SDL, Team 47, South Korea's SKS team, the United States' UFT team, and China's DAGA.BenT team as seed teams directly advance to the quarterfinals, leaving 4 The quota for the top eight teams will be determined among the remaining eight teams.
The match list for the finals came out the day before yesterday. Huayi Star's luck has to be said to be very bad. In the first quarterfinals knockout round, they met the powerful Danish team, FL team.
The full name of the FL team is FirstLion, which is also called First Lion in Chinese. It is a long-established and powerful team in Europe. However, this time FL does not come in the name of a European team, but invites teams from outside.
Like the Federation Cup Finals, the European server, the American server, the Chinese server, and the Korean server, as the four major servers, have two quotas for the competition. The other four quotas are one for the Taiwanese server, one for the South Asian server, and one for the South American server. Finally, One is to invite the team.
There is only one quota for invited teams, which is mainly given to the teams that performed well in the Federation Cup last season. Generally speaking, they are the teams that entered the finals last season and ranked high.
FL achieved the top eight results in the Federation Cup finals last season, so no one would object to the competition giving it the quota of invited teams. After all, almost all the other top eight teams have already received it this season. The quota is up.
Domestic players are still very familiar with the FL team, because the captain of their team is Maggie, the world's most famous leopard girl in the European server.
The reason why Maggie is famous in the Chinese server is not only because of his good performance as Leopard Girl, but also because he also developed many unpopular top lane heroes, such as top laner Mundo, top laner Akali, top laner Nunu, etc.
Last season, due to bad luck, the FL team met the strongest team in the country, DAGA.BenT, in the quarterfinals, and was eliminated. However, I heard that they changed two players this season and became stronger. Well, just in the European League, he defeated the strongest team in Europe in the S1 season, the TCS team, and won the runner-up result.
When the official list of battles was announced two days ago, Yang Tianshui and everyone couldn't help but cursed at the shady situation, but even so, there was nothing they could do.
Of course, Huayi Star's luck is not the worst, the worst is the South Asian team MrD (Ovi).
Although the strength of the MrD team cannot be called weak, they happened to meet the strongest team in the US server, Jaguar.
There is no doubt that the Jaguar team can be called the top three teams in the world. I don’t know why, but this time they failed to qualify as a seed team and advance to the top eight.
However, it did not enter the relegation list, and the disaster was to snatch the remaining four top eight teams, because the Jaguar team is the favorite team in the Fed Cup finals, and whoever encounters it will be unlucky.
Unfortunately, South Asia’s MrD team was shot.
After having lunch at the hotel and being informed by the competition team that the training room was open, Lu Hai went up to the fourth floor to discuss with DAGA.BenT’s coach to see if he could organize two teams to compete in a training match. After all, both sides were domestic teams and had good friendship. It's relatively deep, and I'm not afraid of revealing any tactics.
In a competition like this, two unfamiliar teams, or competing teams, are not very willing to let both teams play training matches. This is mainly because they are afraid of revealing their own tactics and strategies.
For many strong teams, many of the team's tactics and strategies are predetermined. If the opponent knows and studies them, it will put the team into a very disadvantageous situation.
This has never happened in many major competitions. Many teams do not play any training games at all before the competition. They just go into battle when the team competition comes. Some strict teams even strictly order their players to communicate with members of other teams to avoid leaks. The team information is as if it is some kind of national secret.
Gao Lin and the others had worked on several sets of tactics before setting off. If they really wanted to play a training match with DAGA.BenT, they would not deliberately hide it. Like their team, there are many tactics and they would not be limited to any one. If If others really have to put a lot of effort into studying one of their tactics, they can definitely use other tactics to deal with it.
Of course, it is not a good thing to be over-researched by others. After all, one less tactic means one less way to win.
Lu Hai walked up to the fourth floor where DAGA.BenT lived, but came down quickly. Because everyone in DAGA.BenT was too tired after a day's flight, team coach Yang Zhenxing declined Lu Hai's invitation to a training match.
Unable to find DAGA.BenT to play a training match, Lu Hai could only let Gao Lin and others roam freely in the hotel.
After calling Mu Luorou and learning that she was staying at the nearby Ariela Hotel, Gao Lin wanted to ask for leave to go out and meet them, but Lu Hai felt that he was unfamiliar with the place and would not give it to Gao Lin. go out.
Helpless, Gao Lin had to stay in the room and watch movies.
"Wind God, go talk to Mr. Lu and go out for a walk." Yang Tianshui raised his head and looked at Xiao Zifeng, who was sitting next to Gao Lin's bed watching a movie.
Xiao Zifeng also bought a tablet computer, but he didn't bring it this time. He was bored and came to Gao Lin's room to watch a movie.
Zhang Weiyong and Su Jiantong also came in with him. They sat in a circle and ate snacks while watching the movie.
"If you want to go out, just say it yourself." Xiao Zifeng glanced at Yang Tianshui and said.
"Hey, there's nothing to do here. If you don't go out for a walk, wouldn't it be a waste of your youth?" Yang Tianshui said.
"I think you are crazy about foreign girls." Zhang Weiyong said teasingly.
"I miss you, I'm not as dirty as you." Yang Tianshui looked sideways at Zhang Weiyong and said.
And as soon as he finished speaking, Li Dugui walked in from the door, a pair of small eyes rolled around, and he said with a lewd smile: "Who is it? Who is dirty? I'm afraid I can help you deal with him."
Seeing Li Dugui, Yang Tianshui couldn't help but tighten his clothes.
"Li Jiao, the monk just said that he wanted to go out with you to see foreign girls." Su Jiantong did something evil at the right time.
"Yeah." Li Dugui's two little eyes suddenly lit up, as if he heard something treasure, "Monk, really, come on, let's discuss the specific plan together."
Saying ⑧, the whole person was like a tiger rushing towards Yang Tianshui on the bed.
Yang Tianshui was startled, and he didn't care about the tablet on his lap. He jumped up from the bed and ran away.
