The Erin Cup qualifying grouping ceremony, as a formal competition, naturally involves Elsa being booed.
This should become a habit.
Ms. Elsa walked up to the main podium and waited for the boos to subside before announcing again:
"The qualifiers for the 1995-96 Erin Cup season have officially begun. Praise for the Blood of the Witch."
"Praise to the blood of the witch."
Jiang Han imitated the witch next to him, raised his glass and cheered, and drank the green fungus sparkling wine in one gulp.
The taste is green and astringent, but has a strawberry-like feel.
Elsa invited Eileen to come on stage.
The petite First Witch stood on the podium with her hands on the table:
"I am honored to be the organizer of this event, and also honored to be recognized by the Witch Organization and be a group guest. I believe that this cup competition, which includes the best witches in the world, will be extremely exciting."
She whispered:
"Then, let's get started, Ms. Elsa."
…
The rules of the Erin Cup qualifiers are very simple. There are eight witches in a group, and each person will have two chances to face the same person. That is to say, each person plays fourteen games, winning by one point, losing by zero points, and the top two in the end.
Advancement. If there is a tie, there will be extra games. There will be extra rounds. There is no relationship between victory and defeat. In theory, three people with the same score can fight until the end of time.
The grouping situation is also very simple. Witches with no historical record, no high points, and no previous achievements will be directly mixed into the "election pool" and randomly assigned to the groups.
Those who have historical results and a few points, but are not high enough to be [directly invited] or [reviewed and shortlisted], will be mixed into the seed pool and filled into the group based on the avoidance principle.
In other words, a group should be composed like this:
[Amateur players selected from seven general election pools, seeded players selected from one seed pool]
It can be said that the rules are set to ensure that the seeded players qualify.
It is also the qualifying rules of the classic Witch Cup.
Since the beginning of the World Witches Exchange Conference in 1200, and continuing to this day, only one unlucky expert witch (professional witches were called expert witches at the time) has been eliminated in this kind of qualifying competition. She is the famous Marie Van Alden, who was
Among the seven election pool witches in her group, one was the later great witch Loya, and the other was Ann Hofstadter, who later became the Fire Dragon Witness.
Of course, this grouping is also theoretical.
Because there are not many professional witches who "don't have enough points but still want to be tortured in the Erin Cup", so there will still be nearly a quarter of the groups in the qualifiers that are purely composed of "eight general pool witches".
This is the operating space!
"Group A, the one who came out of the seed pool is... Kamijou Yukiko from Japan."
Qin Shunying had a very powerful intelligence source. He just knocked on the table, puffed up his chest and coughed under Jiang Han's curious eyes:
"In the Harukawa Spring Duel, Kamijou Yukiko led her opponent by a large margin. However, since there are quite a few competitions in Japan that do not recognize points internationally, she did not have enough points to directly enter the group stage.
.So even though Yukiko is going to compete in the preliminaries, she is actually a witch with great potential to compete in the top 64."
Due to the large number of people and strong players in the Witch Competition, even sixty-four is an achievement.
The results of the big competition are more convincing than the results of the small competitions. If top witches gather to participate, the gold content will not be mentioned.
The gold content of Lin Zhaojun's game is extremely amazing.
The witch who was number one in the world the year before last and number two in the world this year faced extremely formidable opponents in every duel. She could destroy hundreds of civilizations every time she named them!
"Han Bao, do you want to fight too?"
After Lin Qiang asked gently, she reminded herself:
"Even the witch in the election pool is not easy to deal with."
"Uh-huh!"
Jiang Han snorted first, then reacted incorrectly and quickly waved his hand:
"Oh, I don't know what group I will be assigned to yet. Maybe it will be a group with the Seed Pond Witch."
"Hey."
Wu Xian snorted like this first, and Qin Shunying also looked over with a half-smile.
Jiang Han had to nod helplessly:
"Okay... I might get into the general election pool. You know, the 25% chance is not low."
She chooses her words carefully.
This is a question that Qin Shunying, Du Lingxuan, Chu Yujun, Lin Zhaojun and other witches have all mentioned since she entered the witch society:
Socially, witches must be careful with their words.
Jiang Han is also used to this habit of using words carefully, and it should be said that it fits well.
In her past, in the parallel world, she once took on the job of supporting education. Sometimes when dealing with children who look different but have not received a good family education, adults often mention it casually.
Even polite words will be taken seriously.
She doesn't hate children, but she hates the consequences of such careless words and the occasional condemnation of her conscience.
Over time, the only polite words she could say were "let's have a meal and drink a cup of tea together".
…
Qin Shunying expressed appreciation for her careful choice of words:
"Indeed, the 25% probability is the same as the probability of flipping a coin twice and getting the same side."
She used witch slang to tease Jiang Han.
It is natural that a witch can control the side on which a coin falls. It is a self-evident open secret of every adult witch. Speaking of this will cause a knowing smile.
Jiang Han responded cautiously:
"It's like closing your eyes and picking a numbered ball."
Since there were too many pre-selected witches, they had to wait for each group to be assigned, so they played the witch card.
It’s still a game of self-selected decks and random card drawing, but Jiang Han has optimized his deck.
From the original stage of pursuing ‘high-star, well-known witch cards’, I officially entered the ‘strength group’.
For example, the unknown inventor of the formula-level broomstick, 'Lee Lorco', is just a witch with two to three thousand magic powers. But the effect of her card is to 'equip broomsticks for all witch cards on the field', [Broomstick
:+1 movement speed, and enters air combat effect].
Not only does this card have an excellent effect when thrown, all the embodied witch dolls on the field will directly have extra brooms, and the effect is also better than Anjie's effect "Group Ascension" [Group Ascension: The witch card gains +2 movement speed
, the effect of entering air combat] comes quickly.
More importantly, it is cheap and easy to use.
There are even cards that match the idea of air combat.
However, Jiang Han also abandoned this card this time and started playing the game with the cat and raccoon deck.
…
Although I promised that Chen Ligu would not play cards, the waiting time was too boring and there was nothing I could do about it.
——Jiang Han used his cat and raccoon deck to take first place in six of the eight games, one second place, and one fourth place.
The fourth one encountered Mod's Great Council of Tianhu, and the cats and raccoons were directly crushed to pieces.
After playing the witch card for eight full games, Jiang Han heard his name.
"In the BV group, the first witch to emerge from the general election pool is...Jiang Han from Nancheng."
Finally got the number.
Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief, put away the cards on the table, remembered the instructions again, and said:
"Then I'll go back after I get my number plate. Remember to come watch me compete."
"Definitely, I can't wait to see your performance after practice."
Qin Shunying was categorical. She was probably also curious about the results of Jiang Han's practice during this period.
…
There is no need to be so serious...
Jiang Han was a little embarrassed to talk about his spiritual practice.
Roughly speaking, her witch training consisted of being beaten by the chubby sleeping cat lamp, and there was another furry sleeping cat lamp next to her, laughing and using words to attack her self-confidence.
Or he was beaten violently by the cute Tongzhi or the close Xifu.
Jiang Han was a little suspicious of these witches who guided his practice.
Why:
【To learn to eat, you must first learn to be beaten!】
