“This year’s Go League A will start on the 18th next month.

A total of 16 teams participated. According to the rules, we registered a total of six professional players, four of whom will play in one game.

This year’s team members are Gu Shaoshang 9th dan, Zhang Laoxi 7th dan, Qingshan 8th dan, Ying Jie first dan, Fan Ruoyu second dan, and Cugu Yun first dan.”

Looking at the fat man sitting next to him, Ying Jie looked at him with suspicion: "How did you get in?"

Doesn’t it mean that we only recruit talented people?

It cannot be said that Cugu Yun can become a professional player without talent, but Ying Jie doesn't think there is much possibility of winning the world championship.

When Cugu Yun heard this, he felt like a girl whose heart was broken by a scumbag. He covered his heart: "What do you mean sneaking in? You are hurting my heart too much now, Brother Jie.

After all, I am also the youngest one this year. Not to mention I am extremely talented, so I don’t have to go through the back door no matter what.”

"Do you know what Dongshi Xiaofang means?"

"Who is Dong Shi? Why does he urinate frequently?"

"..."

Seeing Ying Jie's eyes as if he was mentally retarded, Cugu Yun quickly explained: "Just kidding, I also went to school after all.

I am loyal to you, Brother Jie. After I found out you were in this team, I tried to find a way to contact the boss, and he signed me because he thought I was handsome."

Ying Jie couldn't help but shook his head. Although he didn't know what Py transaction Cugu Yun used, he was certain that with this guy's virtue, he would definitely not be bored in the future.

"Most of the leader positions are Gu Shaoshang 9th Dan, and we sometimes adjust the personnel configuration according to the opponent's team.

Tian Ji’s horse racing tactics are countless in the league, so sometimes you may face players you can’t defeat, and your personal gains and losses must give way to the overall interests of the team.”

“The regular season games are still the same as in previous years, with four games on four platforms, using a temporary platform system, with one leader and one quick chess player.

In each game, 2 points will be awarded for winning a game and 0 points for losing a game. The player with higher game points will be awarded 3 points, and the player with lower game points will be awarded 0 points. When the game points are the same, the winner will be awarded 2 points;

The losing side gets 1 point.

The regular season consists of fifteen rounds in a single round-robin, with the top eight teams competing for the playoff championship and the bottom eight teams competing for the playoff relegation battle.

This is our first time participating. We won’t win the championship, but we can’t fall into the relegation group, especially the bottom two.

If the boss is allowed to spend money to buy another besieging team and go public through a backdoor, we will be embarrassed.

Therefore, the position of the general is very important. Gu Shaoshang is in the ninth level. Are you confident?"

"It's okay."

Gu Shaoshang nodded. In the position of the leader of the siege, no one dares to say that he can win 100% of the time.

The position of the leader of the Weijia League is either the world champion, the world runner-up, or at last the national champion.

They all start out as characters ranked in the top 20 in terms of level points. If they don’t win a major competition, they would be embarrassed to be the leader.

Faced with such a competitive opponent, Gu Shaoshang naturally cannot boast that he will win 100% of the time.

Of course, if an unconditional fight could be added after the fight, it would be a sure win given Gu Shaoshang's ninth-level physique.

It's a pity that it can't be added.

After all, it was the first year to play in the siege competition. Manager Zhu repeated the regular season rules again and again to ensure that everyone understood their role and obeyed the arrangements on the court.

Manager Zhu was talking non-stop on the stage. Fan Ruoyu, who was sitting next to Ying Jie, suddenly asked: "Have you signed up for the Ahan Tongshan Cup?"

"Yes, we have to go through the online pre-selection immediately. After the online pre-selection, the 16 professional players and the pre-selected 16 amateur players will compete to select 16 people to enter this competition."

"I've also signed up, but I'm going to this competition directly. Maybe I'll meet you then."

After hearing this, Ying Jie seemed to have thought of something: "I remember that your level seems to have reached the top 100. You should enter this competition directly, right?"

The Aganti Tongshan Cup is divided into qualifiers, main tournament and main tournament.

Qualifiers: 32 winners generated by online selection will be drawn by mixed draw for a round of single elimination, and 16 winners will enter the preliminary round.

This competition: Among the top 120 chess players in the registration level, 112 players except 8 will directly enter this competition. Together with the 16 winners produced in the qualifiers, a total of 128 players will be selected through four rounds of single elimination.

The winner enters this competition.

This competition: The 8 winners from this selection and the 8 players who directly enter this competition, a total of 16 people, will go through four rounds of single elimination to determine the champion.

The method for selecting the 8 players who will directly enter this competition is as follows: the top two players in the previous competition, the champion and runner-up in the previous year's World Series, and any shortage of players will be filled in by level.

"lucky."

This cannot be explained by luck, because once a Go rank is obtained, it will not be downgraded or cancelled, and it has certain limitations in the long run.

Therefore, in order to more intuitively display the real-time level of Go players, it is determined based on the player's performance within a period of time. Therefore, the rating can reflect the real-time strength level of the player in a timely manner and also adapts to the development of Go.

needs.

It's a bit similar to the combat power in Dragon Ball.

However, each country has a standard score to judge its combat effectiveness. In China, 2,700 points is a rare high score. Now in South Korea, more than 10,000 points are considered normal. There is currently no universally recognized international score.

Ying Jie has just entered Dan, with an initial rating score of 2240. His initial score is already around 200th among more than 300 active chess players.

Because most professional players will be beaten by their seniors when they first enter the tier, resulting in heavy losses in level points.

Even the level scores of the bottom few professional players have dropped below 2100 points.

As a joke, if we really describe it as a 40-point rank, a score below 2100 would be called a professional negative fourth rank.

"I met Cui Ze in the last game, Wei B, and he became stronger again."

Hearing this, Ying Jie nodded: "Really?"

If it was before Cui Ze's progress, Ying Jie might still feel a little pressured, but after becoming a professional player, his computing power has skyrocketed, making Ying Jie more confident.

When he met some older high-level players, Ying Jie was sure to let them know what it meant to bully the elderly because of their lack of computing power in the middle game.

So facing the original opponent, Ying Jie no longer paid much attention to it.

"Are you confident that you can win the championship?"

"I'm 50% sure. You are the first one to ask me if I am confident of winning the championship."

Ying Jie smiled when he heard this and said, "Others think that participating in national competitions in the first stage is basically for training."

After all, not to mention the endless supply of ninth-dan competitions in national competitions, there are even several world champions.

To win the championship in their hands is actually not much easier than winning the World Series.

But for Ying Jie, this competition can be said to be the competition in which he has the best chance of winning the championship.

Because from the beginning to the end, the Ahan Kiriyama Cup is a single-elimination elimination system. Whether it is the finals in China or the final battle between China and Japan, the outcome is determined by one round.

Ying Jie's current mid-game performance is close to that of a first-class chess player, and his layout is unparalleled in the world. He can be called the true king of kills at first sight, because the opponent can only suffer a small loss or a big loss when encountering his layout.

If you can't beat Ying Jie, you will most likely lose.

If we look at just one round, no matter who he encounters, Ying Jie can definitely say that he will win 50-50.

But if it is three-game chess or five-game chess, it will further test the player's overall level.

After all, after the first game, others will have a certain understanding of your overall level and style, and the next game can be more targeted.

Therefore, world competitions usually consist of three rounds of chess and five rounds of chess, ensuring that the stronger winner can win.

So for now, the Agan Kiriyama Cup is the most friendly competition with a competitive format.

Ying Jie can take advantage of the fact that the opponent is not familiar with his own style, deceive and sneak attack on those seniors, and beat each one to the finals.

Let’s make a transition, the Siege A match will start tomorrow, no prizes for guessing tomorrow’s opponent
