The Road to Champion of the King of Spirits

Chapter 592 Competition system rules and lottery

At the scene of the lottery ceremony the next day, Chen Mu inexplicably felt that the eyes of the players around him were full of hostility.

He quietly asked his teammates: "Why do I feel that people around me seem to have a lot of opinions on me?"

Mei Yutong rolled her eyes and teased him as soon as she opened her mouth, "Be confident, you can remove the 'as if'."

Fang Ling was more honest and answered him seriously, "Because everyone hates introversion."

"...do I have it?"

Chen Mu was unconscious.

"You haven't?"

Captain Li Zexi asked quietly.

Ning Xue flicked her hair and said: "You are already a star player and the favorite to win the championship, but if you still want to be curly like this, it will make us look lazy."

"..."

Chen Mu was helpless, "But I've always had this kind of routine?"

Mei Yutong murmured softly, "So you have always been the king of scrolls."

"..."

Probably because his best friend Xiao Lu has been completely led by Chen Mu on a road of no return, Chen Mu always feels that Mei Yutong has a particularly great resentment towards him recently.

This made him inexplicably miss his "big sister Ai Zhengtai" who was still his number one fan.

At the beginning, Mei Yutong's small screen name was called this. During that time, she was always the core fan of Chen Mu's support fan group.

It's a pity that time has passed and circumstances have changed, Chen Mu has already grown up now, and he is not a real lady.

At the same time, the former junior has already turned the offensive in the daily team training and has become the devil coach of the team. For more than a year, he has trained Mei Yutong to the utmost.

Now Chen Mu's baby face can no longer bring healing to Mei Yutong. On the contrary, every time she sees this face, it will only remind her of countless sweaty and exhausted training memories...

terrible!

Mei Yutong once suspected that her xp would be distorted by Chen Mu.

So the former fans became the current bad friends. After countless times of escaping training, being arrested, and "voluntary" extra training, Mei Yutong finally defeated her xp!

Now when she complains about Chen Mu every day, she can achieve a heart like still water and an ancient well without waves.

As if caught up in the absence of that worldly desire...

"So refuse introversion, start with me!"

The Miejueshi at the side gave her a sideways look, "You're gone."

"No, coach! I was wrong! I'm just talking, don't take it seriously!"

Li Zexi sighed silently.

There are too many live treasures, it's hard to lead a team...

Fortunately, it was their turn to appear on the stage at this time, and everyone put away their playful thoughts, and their expressions were instantly serious.

Everyone changed their faces in a second.

Go on stage, introduce, wait for the event organizing committee to give a speech, and then draw lots.

This year's Champions Cup group stage is different from last year's - this is also the old tradition of the Champions Cup, the organizing committee always likes to play tricks in the group stage.

This year the 32 teams will be divided into eight groups of four teams each.

In previous years, there were generally four groups with eight teams in each group.

Moreover, there will be two rounds in the group stage this year, but it is clear that there will be no extra matches in the game.

This rule would mean that draws would be allowed in the group stage.

At the end of the calculation, the top two in each group will appear.

The rules of the subsequent knockout rounds remain the same, and the traditional double-elimination system is still used. The first place in each group enters the winner's group, and the second place in the group enters the loser's group.

As soon as the competition organizing committee finished reading this part, a series of heated discussions immediately erupted at the scene.

Chen Mu and his teammates who returned to the field were also discussing.

"Tie is allowed in the group stage, and this year's newly changed point difference system for the captain's match will add a lot of variables."

Li Zexi's words were unanimously approved by everyone.

Presumably in this way, a reasonable formation for a draw will become an important strategic means for weak teams in the group stage.

Then there was another wave of ups and downs.

Everyone hadn't finished discussing the possible draw in the group stage, and the organizing committee made another big news.

"At the same time, we will use random venues again in this year's group stage."

Now the venue is completely boiling.

"Fuck! The organizing committee, don't you think this is cool?"

"Hey! I feel that this year's organizing committee has a strong desire to do the whole job!"

"Hey... no wonder, they have been holding back for eight years, and this year's session happens to be very popular."

From everyone's discussions, it is not difficult to hear that many people are grateful for the excessive performance desire of the competition organizing committee.

However, the restless heart of the organizer is always difficult to calm down!

If the knockout rounds are well-regulated, then you can only let yourself go in the group stage!

The last time they did the random site job was eight years ago.

It is undeniable that this can indeed increase the fun and highlights of the game, but this kind of rule with too much randomness is not liked by most professional players.

Strong teams especially don't like this kind of random mechanism that is too face-to-face.

Coincidentally, any team that can reach the Champions Cup will not feel that they are underdogs.

Relatively speaking, Xueluo Xingshuang's reaction was relatively small among most teams.

Next to them, a local staff member of the Legale League asked them: "Don't you all respond? Don't you care about random venues at all?"

This staff member clearly remembered that the area he was in charge of sat in the Donghuang League's league leader and No. [-] seed!
As a result, Captain Li Zexi's answer surprised the staff member.

"Our team's players are all participating in the Champions Cup for the first time. Anyway, no matter what rules are new to us, there is no difference."

This made the staff bewildered for a moment, almost unbelievable.

"You are the No. [-] seed, all your players are playing in the Champions Cup for the first time? No way?"

Li Zexi looked back at his teammates.

In one sentence, it is simply a group of problem children!
Excluding himself, the average age of their team is pathetic...

"It's really the first time."

This left the staff member who asked the question speechless for a while.

I always feel that this year's Champions Cup may really be different from the past, not only in terms of the competition system!

Then the competition main committee introduced the rules, the chairman of the alliance gave a speech, and the referees took an oath. After a series of procedures, it finally came to the most exciting part of today——

Group draw!

This is what the audience wants to see the most today.

It doesn't matter whether you watch the live broadcast of the rule announcement, and no one wants to hear the chairman's speech. Of course, everyone comes to watch the lottery.

After all, this thing is the real one-thought heaven and one-thought hell.

Fortunately, there are eight groups in the group stage this year, which means that the No. [-] seed of the seven major leagues will definitely not meet in the group stage.

This point is tacitly understood by everyone.

First of all, the first round of the lottery is allocated to the No. [-] seed of each major team and the wild card champion team, one for each group.

Chen Mu and the others were in Group C.

then--

It's time to see what teams are in their group.
