Go: 50-50 split between me and AI

Chapter 333. 332.
It wasn't until after five o'clock in the afternoon that today's game was officially over.

However, due to double-elimination, no one was eliminated after the first round today. Instead, 32 people who won the game entered the winner's group, and 32 people who lost entered the loser's group. The game will continue tomorrow.

Tomorrow, the losers of the loser's bracket will be out of the game directly, and the losers of the winner's bracket will enter the loser's bracket again, and continue to form 32 people for the loser's game.

At this time, Ying Jie came to the stage to draw the lottery for tomorrow's winner's group.

Because there is no avoidance of the same country in this competition, everyone draws lots in a basket.

"Number three."

Ying Jie looked at the numbers on the drawn white chess pieces and said something.

Now there are more and more tricks on the lottery. The Datong Cup winner group draws lots with white chess pieces with black numbers, and the loser group uses black chess pieces with white numbers.

And the organizer also provides a small hanging chain, you can use this as a bracelet, or you can wear this as a necklace for decoration, and it can be regarded as a souvenir for participating in the competition.

After drawing lots, Ying Jie went directly to the seat below and sat down.

"I don't know who will be unlucky to draw you tomorrow."

Looking at Ying Jie who came back from the lottery, Xiao Xiao smiled beside him and said something.

Because there is no avoidance from the same country, Ying Jie, who was often met by Japanese and Korean chess players first, is now also met by Chinese chess players.

There is no doubt that, as the big devil in the audience, whoever encounters it will be unlucky.

"What's the rush, it's not you anyway."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help covering his heart, piercing his heart.

Really can't touch it.

Because there are already two groups.

It was not easy to qualify for the World Series, but Xiao Xiao and Fan Ruoyu encountered a strong opponent at the beginning, and they directly started a civil war with their own family members, and then both lost.

Xiao Xiao met Lu Li [-]th Dan. Although Lu Li [-]th Dan said every day that he was old and could not play anymore, he really wanted to consider retiring. How can he strengthen the promotion and development of Go for himself?

He said a lot, but his rating remained firm at No.3.

It is pure nonsense to say that the grades are based on their own money.

The higher the rating, the lower the score for winning a game, but once you lose a game, you will lose.

Just like Ying Jie's current score, if he loses a round, he may have to win five or six rounds to win it back. If he loses a bigger one, he will have to win more than ten consecutive victories to get it back.

The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to maintain it, and the cost sometimes becomes a burden instead.

So facing the ninth-dan Lu Li who was in his late adulthood, Xiao Xiao, who had not yet become a full body, directly punched him fiercely, and then sent it.

Fan Ruoyu's ideas got even more memorized, and he directly ran into the deposed prince who was the second person in active service, Taishang Wang Shi Mingzhi.

Although Fan Ruoyu's strength was not much worse than Shi Mingzhi's and he had hope of winning, he still had a problem in the middle of the game and unfortunately lost.

In this way, the two most promising new generations entered the loser group in the first round.

Without Tongguo's evasion, it would be such an injury against a strong opponent of his own family, and whoever lost would be a loss.

"It's okay, this time there is only one person who doesn't need to enter the loser's bracket, it doesn't matter whether it's the first round or the last round.

As long as you can keep winning in the future, you can enter the finals, right? "

Compared to Xiao Xiao, who felt like there were dark clouds floating over his head after losing the first round, Fan Ruoyu looked very calm and composed.

It's just a game lost, as long as there is a chance later, there is hope of winning.

"Player Park Jung-hwan, No. [-]."

Hearing the number of the game against him, Ying Jie subconsciously raised his head and glanced, and standing on the stage was Park Zhenghuan, who had just given Ying Jie a world champion some time ago.

"Park Jung-hwan, is he still the second most ranked player in Korea?
The first round is Gao Yongxia, the second round is Park Zhenghuan, and the third round is Cui Ze, who ranks third in Korea. "

Looking at the number drawn, Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing beside him and said something.

In the first two rounds, he directly encountered the No. [-] and No. [-] players in South Korea. This luck can already be said to be a bit of a shame.

Fortunately, it was Ying Jie, otherwise, if it was another person, his mentality would have collapsed earlier.

"Bah! How could I be so unlucky? I've never been so lucky!"

Although it doesn't matter who the opponent is, but if you can meet a weak one, why fight a strong one?

Although they both won, the energy of winning Gao Yong Xiahua and winning Xiao Xiao were not of the same order of magnitude.

If you can lie down and win, why do you have to work so hard to fight one by one.

Just like the LP Cup, if you are a seeded player, you can become the world champion if you win four rounds directly, and then there will be a bonus.

More money and less work, everyone likes it.

For example, the Datong Cup is undoubtedly the most complicated world competition with the most competitions so far, but he couldn't bear the high prize money, and Ying Jie also recognized it.

There is a legendary experience in life, killing all the way to win the championship, just satisfying the sense of ritual.

Later, everyone wants to lie down and win.

It's better not to send all the trophies and bonuses to my house directly.

"However, Park Jung-hwan."

Seeing Park Jung-hwan standing on the stage, Ying Jie couldn't help thinking about his performance in the Ying's Cup final.

As I said before, it is inevitable to move outside the board, which is a Go feature.

Even if it develops to the present day when the rules are perfect, turning the chess pieces upside down to make the opponent awkward, wearing strange clothes to distract the opponent, to some extent, it is all tricks.

Some people even sighed during the game, rolled their eyes on the other side, and then reported that the other side rolled their eyes and disrespected themselves.

It is really difficult to define external moves.

Of course, the pinnacle of the psychological warfare of off-the-board tricks is that an old senior pretends to make a move during the countdown stage of the game, trying to trick the opponent into making two moves in a row and immediately loses.

But because of the time pressure of the countdown, the old senior was afraid that he would time out, so he would be the first to make the move. Otherwise, if it was a little later, it would really become a famous game of outside the market.

Off-market moves are unavoidable, and sometimes it is even difficult to tell right from wrong. For example, in the battle of turning on the air conditioner during the game in the last century, one should turn on the air conditioner and the other should not turn on the air conditioner during the game.

It's not good for one person to say no to it, and it's not good for the other to say it.

In the end, the organizer could only open it for half an hour and close it for half an hour, and the result was ridiculous.

However, Park Jung-hwan's stuffing and swaying are already regarded as internal tricks to a certain extent, and it is hard not to make people bored.

So tomorrow's game, I have to work harder.

Ying Jie was thinking about it when he saw Xiao Xiao coming back from the draw in the loser group, with a more painful expression on his face.

"Gao Yongxia."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but shook his head. He was complaining about Yingjie's lottery just now, but he didn't know that he was the real one.

In the World Series, they played against No.1 in China and South Korea for two consecutive rounds.

The No.1 of the two countries serves myself at the same time, what a blessing?
