In the double-elimination elimination system, although each player has a chance to continue fighting after losing, he can also fight in the loser group. If he can keep winning, it is possible to stand in the finals again.
But this cannot hide the fact that this is a knockout round.
If the first game is a group stage, then even if you fail, you will get no points at most, and you will not be eliminated immediately. If you lose one game, you only need to recover in the remaining games, leaving a lot of room for all the players.
There is no room for mistakes, so that every game will not be in a state where mistakes cannot be made.
The knockout round is different. Once you fail, it will definitely have an impact on the current player's position, especially in the first round. If you fail and enter the loser group, if you want to win the final victory, you must win all, and the battle is still going on.
Twice as much as the winner of the upper bracket.
Therefore, the first round is actually the most important round for all players. No one wants to encounter a tough opponent. Even though Yun Shangfei and others were very calm when they drew lots, they actually don't want to encounter a strong enemy so early.
However, things went against expectations. Wang Tianping and Yun Shangfei met in the first round. This was obviously beyond most people's expectations. No one expected that there would be such a battle of Mars hitting the earth in the first round. Even Wang Tianping, the party involved,
Tian Ping and Yun Shang Fei could only look at each other and smile bitterly when they saw this result.
The other players who thought they would not stay in the winner group for a long time thought even more, because after the first round, one of Wang Tianping and Yun Shangfei would definitely enter the loser group.
With the strength of the two of them, unless they encounter an opponent of Neuron's level, they will not fail easily. Therefore, for the other players, a strong opponent will be encountered in both the winner group and the loser group.
situation.
Thinking of this, those players who had a lot of luck entering the finals became very depressed. According to the current situation, their luck has come to an end. It is estimated that within a few rounds, all the players with lower strength will be eliminated.
After the match between Wang Tianping and Neuron and other four players was announced, the remaining match lists were also announced one by one. Except for the previous Yun Shangfei and Poseidon, the other professional players had not met their peers or celebrities. Their
The opponents are all ordinary elite players.
In addition, there are ten elite players, including Meng Liuli, who have formed five battle groups. These ten players, as well as the four players who met the president of the old professional guild, are relatively relaxed at this time. Their opponents
Either they are not well-known, or they do not show particularly outstanding one-on-one abilities.
In comparison, the players who met the five emerging guild leaders such as the Ice Elf were more uneasy at this time. Except for Baal, who seemed not very famous, the other players had left legends in the online competition.
figure.
At this time, the most embarrassing thing was the four world-class professional guild presidents including the Demon King. They were celebrities after all, and they were relatively relaxed when meeting elite players, but they found that their opponents were also very relaxed.
Obviously he didn't take them seriously.
Being looked down upon, they immediately understood what the elite players thought of them. The players actually thought that they were soft persimmons and that they were weak people who could be manipulated casually. This made them angry and at the same time gave birth to...
A trace of helplessness.
After the draw is over, it’s the official game. The virtual venue here is the same as the main venue, using the method of all games being held simultaneously, key games being broadcast live with commentary, and other games being inserted with text descriptions and highlights at any time.
The key match selected for live broadcast is of course the match between Wang Tianping and Yun Shangfei in Group A. Compared with the other matches, the gap in strength is large, the outcome has been decided, or the strength of both sides is very average. Comparison
A boring battle, this battle that must be exciting will certainly not be let go.
The remaining thirty players were teleported to other arena rooms. Wang Tianping and Yun Shangfei who stayed behind entered the lounges on both sides of the main venue. The superiority of virtual technology was once again revealed. After a period of ups and downs in the main venue,
The center of the venue, which was a big stage just now, has turned into a battlefield.
A few minutes later, Wang Tianping's Pilgrim and Yun Shangfei's Arbiter appeared at both ends of the map. Mountain warfare, standard gravity, and dusk were neither very flat and wide, nor very complicated. For the two of them,
, this is a head-on decisive battle.
Following the referee's order, the two mechas rushed out at the same time. Neither of them adopted any tactical moves. They obviously understood that in this case, tactical moves were meaningless and ineffective, and they would definitely be seen through, so
They all took the middle road and rushed towards the very center of the map.
Along the way, the two people who couldn't see each other in the mecha and couldn't contact the outside world were thinking a lot. This was their first battle since the online competition individual finals. During this period, their cooperation actually required
More than confrontational.
After many previous cooperations, they are already very familiar with each other's combat capabilities, combat characteristics, etc. Although they understand that the opponents in front of them must have unshown cards, but with the currently known intelligence, they can already
The winner has been determined.
"No problem, we can win!" "Can't win, absolutely can't win." The information that flashed in Wang Tianping's and Yun Shangfei's minds was different, but the expected results were the same.
The audience doesn't know, the host doesn't know, the commentators don't know, the referee doesn't know, the organizer doesn't know, they think this is a close battle with an unpredictable outcome, but they don't know that in the battle
Both parties have already determined the final result in their hearts.
At this time, both the Pilgrim and the Arbiter have arrived at the center of the map. In terms of location, they are on the side that favors the Arbiter. Obviously, this is because neither party has done anything with their speed and are rushing here at full speed.
.
After the two mechas met, they did not make any preparatory moves, and directly entered the most direct and fierce battle. All the weapons in the body were used, and the rapid movements dazzled the audience. Even the commentary could not keep up with the rhythm of the two.
.
The wonderful battle aroused bursts of cheers from the audience. Although Yun Shangfei felt that he could not defeat Wang Tianping, he was not a person who would admit defeat. At this time, he was also challenging Wang Tianping with his greatest strength.
On one side is the Pilgrim, who is known for his versatility, and on the other is Yunshangfei, who is known for his stability. This battle is destined not to end soon, and while they are still fighting fiercely, other things are scrolling on the big screen.
Among the news on the battlefield, one piece caught the attention of everyone present.
Group b, the first battle is over, Neuron wins! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
