With two rounds left in the points competition, far away from the melee area, Luther and Kaoping, who are first and second in the group, have the power to decide the fate of other trainers.
In a group of seventeen people, only nine people advanced.
Because of the stalemate in points, the entire Group D is now a complete melee. Except for those who have long lost hope of the main competition, the remaining players all have hopes of promotion and theoretical hope of promotion.
Some people hope that Luther and Kaoping will win, thus completely locking up their spots in the main draw.
Some people hope that Luther and Kao Ting will lose. Only in this way can they retain their last hope.
"This double-match format is actually a time to test the trainer's character." Kalunai wiped her mouth, put down her knife and fork, and looked at Luther across the table.
"It is very intuitive to determine the outcome by direct elimination, but there may be many off-field factors in the points system."
Luther knew what Carunai was talking about.
This is the first time that the Sinnoh League has used a two-match system in the qualifying stage, and the points system can easily be exploited.
The qualifying stage of the Suzuran Tournament was extremely perfect this time. Even Hoenn, Hezhong and Kalos regions sent personnel to watch.
The points-based competition schedule has become longer, and it also allows the league to add more commercial elements and increase revenue.
After the alliance earns a huge amount of revenue, it then feeds back into events, training of trainers, and conference-related matters. It’s the best of both worlds, and it’s a virtuous cycle.
This is an innovative measure, chosen because there were too many contestants this year, but the response has been surprisingly good.
Businessmen have more exposure opportunities, players have more time to show their faces, and the audience can see more content at the biennial conference.
Although the behavior of rotating elves to lose the game and deliberately giving away points in the name of training has not happened yet, Karuna has always felt that it is only a matter of time.
Although the Sinnoh League uses high bonuses as rewards to make every trainer work hard to win, but if the off-field benefits outweigh the bonuses, what will the trainers choose?
Maybe the trainers this time have a strong sense of honor and they all chose to strive for victory, but what about the future?
Sirona listened for a long time, and then forwarded the thoughts of Kalunai and Luther to the Alliance.
The competition system related to the conference has been advancing with the times. As for how to keep the stage of elf battle pure, it is not within the scope of Luther's thinking for the time being. This is what the alliance should do.
The reason why he wanted to see Karuna and Sirona tonight was to express his doubts.
"Asushiya? What price did he pay?"
Sirona asked.
Luther smiled: "Anyway, the bonus is several times higher than winning the points competition. Children from rich families are different and their lavish spending has also given me a lot of experience."
In the seventeenth round, Luther's opponent was a rich boy, Atsushi.
Atsuya's ranking is very embarrassing. He is ranked 11th in Group D. If he fails in this match against Luther, he will definitely not be able to enter the main draw.
Players who have been confirmed to be promoted by each major group have begun their own training journey. There are some stumbles in winning or losing, but they basically try their best during the battle.
This is a sense of honor. I let the weak elves go on the field to train, but I still tried my best to fight. This is respect for this stage, and respect for myself and the elves.
At this time, Dun also appeared.
"The prize money for the points competition is only so much. I'll give it five times to you. You send out weaker elves and do your best, and the money will be yours."
Luther scoffed. He was short of money, but he didn't bother to fake a match.
Throughout this game, the league's observers worked hard to monitor and found no one doing this kind of thing. However, Atsushi could actually say it to Luther so openly.
Each of the trainers in the melee area of Group D is doing their best to improve the lineup and train hard in order to finally achieve a miracle, enter the main game, and realize their dreams.
Taking a step back, even if the acting skills of Luther and the elves are incredible, they can really deceive the alliance's observers who have been immersed in elves fighting for many years and have sharp eyes.
You can deceive the world, but you cannot deceive your own conscience.
Luther's refusal made Atsushi furious and he had the idea of a fight outside the venue, but after seeing half of Darkrai's head popping up at Luther's feet, he angrily left accompanied by security.
After eating, Luther also waited for the explanation from the Sinnoh Alliance.
"There is no substance to the transaction, and there is no evidence to prove that player Atsuya did say those words. Even if Atsuya did say those words, we can only focus on education."
"But everyone in the Sinnoh League believes that player Luther is better suited to educate children than we are, in an upright and upright role as a trainer."
It's like an official document, but it's also like a private letter from the Sinnoh Alliance to itself.
"I believe in the supervision system of the conference, and I also believe that the trainers will maintain their true intentions." Sirona's words concluded the official document.
Luther yawned: "I understand, I will teach Atsushi a lesson tomorrow, but I am not his parent, so I can only leave him an unforgettable memory."
Before leaving, Sirona threw the Tanabata Blue Bird's elf ball into Luther's hand.
"You'd better not return the Chinese Valentine's Day Blue Bird until you conquer the spirit that can carry you flying. If something urgent happens and you're in a hurry, aren't you afraid of being delayed?"
Kalunai covered her mouth and chuckled: "Hey, we surveyed the players in the current qualifiers and found a very interesting data."
"You are the only one, and there is no elf that can fly or carry people. Is this considered a piece of trivia from the conference?"
Karunai's words aroused Sirona's interest, and she quickly edited the message: "In order to explain your game, the commentators collect various chat emoticons, pictures, and memes related to you every day. They will definitely like this."
Luther rubbed his forehead, and the title of King of Terribleness spread like wildfire. This impression spread too fast...
Luther originally wanted to say how could there be an emergency that required the use of the Tanabata Blue Bird during the Suzuran Island game, but he thought of what happened to Ash in the Quartz Alliance after he was interfered with by the Rockets...
Forget it, it's better to have a good one. Before finding a suitable elf that can fly, Qixi Blue Bird will feel aggrieved and stay with a trainer like himself who always feels that he will eat dirt in the future.
At the same time, in another player village on Suzuran Island, Atsuya, who had been reported by Luther, was waiting anxiously in front of the video call.
The voice coming from the transmission device made Atsushi smile.
"Master Atsunya, these elves may be a little bit..."
Atsushi didn't bother to pay attention to the old man on the video call, and waved his hand impatiently: "I know, I know that as long as I beat up Luther's elves from the beginning, I will have a huge advantage."
Atsushi didn't even want to listen to the old man's words, so he directly cut off the call and put the six elves sent into his pocket.
The old man communicating with Atsushi sighed and looked at the dark screen with a complicated expression.
"That is an elf carefully cultivated by the Master. Can you really control it?"
