Chapter 157 Double Elimination System
Among the eight teams that have entered the offline competition, the three most recognized teams are EDG, RNG and QG.

No one wants to meet them in advance. Meeting these three teams in the quarterfinals will face great danger. Even if they win the battle, they will expose a lot of things about their team.

And if there is any team that is more restrained from the current PG, Yang Jian will definitely answer EDG and QG.

EDG is a team that has been playing operations all the time. In terms of operations, Yang Jian and the others can't take advantage of them. As for the ability to play teams, I am afraid that no one in the LPL can be stronger than them.After all, they claim to be invincible in team battles!
And the other team that restrains them is QG. If EDG is invincible in team battles, then QG can be called a team with invincible personal strength.

In this team, there is dade who has recovered, and UZI, who is one of the strongest ADs in the world.Their junglers are also among the best in the world.

Their fighting ability in the early stage is the strongest team.

But Yang Jian is not very worried. Their goal is the championship, and sooner or later they will meet a strong team. He is just worried that too many things will be exposed in the quarterfinals.

Just when some of the teams were happy and some were worried, a person in charge of the Demacia Cup said: "This time the Demacia Cup playoffs, after discussion, we plan to change the competition system!"

His words made all the teams below frown.

This Demacia Cup was different from the past from the very beginning. This time they invited a total of 32 teams and divided them into eight groups.The group stage has also become a bo1 qualifying match.

They also did a very good job of keeping the rules of the playoffs secret before the game, and they didn't reveal anything at all.

He smiled slightly and said: "In order to increase the difficulty and enjoyment of the game, the promotion rules for our playoffs in the Demacia Cup this time will be a double-elimination system. Except for the final finals, all other games will be bo3."

After his voice fell, there was an uproar at the scene, and Yang Jian frowned deeply.

The double-elimination format makes the goal of winning the championship a little more difficult.

The so-called double-elimination knockout system, in simple terms, means that a team has two chances. If it loses two games in a row, it will be eliminated completely. If it loses one game, it will enter the loser's bracket, and the winner will enter the Go to the winner group, and finally the champion of the winner group and the champion of the loser group will decide the final champion.

Now they have eight teams, which means that the eight-in-four game will become eight-in-six, four teams will enter the winner's bracket, four teams will enter the loser's bracket, and the loser's bracket will determine two more teams. The team, so back and forth.

This kind of competition system has indeed greatly improved the enjoyment, but it has increased the difficulty for a team to win the championship, because it greatly reduces the possibility of upset, because if a strong team is eliminated by upset, they can still win the championship. Get out of the loser group.

However, it is very difficult to get out of the loser group, their schedule is more cruel than the leader of the winner group, and the elimination is also more cruel.

After the double-elimination competition system goes straight to the IPL and is no longer held, this competition system only appeared on IEM, and the competitions in other divisions all adopt the single-elimination competition system.

However, the appreciation of this competition system is undoubtedly the strongest in this game, and it also gives the losers some hope.

At the same time, it has become almost impossible to win the championship by relying on routines.The double-elimination system is the most test of a team's strength.

For example, many people have mentioned that if it is a double-elimination format, from S3 to S6, it is estimated that the top three teams will all be Korean teams.

Yang Jian also never expected that this Demacia Cup would choose such a competition system so pervertedly, but this is also good, just take this opportunity to test the strength of the current team.

……

After knowing everything, the people of the PG team had already returned to the base, and the official also released the matchup map for this offline match.

When the double-elimination system came out, all the players were in an uproar. Of course, the fans of those strong teams were elated. In their view, the appearance of the double-elimination system gave the teams they supported the greatest Assure.

Many people have also begun to study this matchup, and some media are also predicting the match. Like most players, many media still believe that EDG, RNG and QG will become the biggest winners of this match.If there is no accident, the top three will be produced among these three teams.

As newly promoted PG and YM, it is estimated that they will be eliminated in the first round.

Although the appearance of these two newly promoted horses in the quarter-finals made them all feel surprised, no one is optimistic about their prospects. In most people's eyes, they will be beaten into the loser group in the first round, whether it is QG or WE is something that the two teams cannot beat now.

In the first round of the lower bracket, they were also unable to defeat the other four LPL teams.

……

This is the first time Yang Jian has encountered a double-elimination system since he participated in the competition. In the next few days, the PG team devoted themselves to training. They did not have the crazy training like before in the last month of LSPL. It was reduced to two sessions, with one-hour conference discussions every day.

These are the things they learned in Korea, and they are now using them flexibly.

Because there are only two training games per day, Yang Jian also has more live broadcast time. The contract he signed with Panda TV Qian is to broadcast [-] hours a month, and he plans to finish the live broadcast as soon as possible.

And when he was playing games, Shao Keqing always liked to sit behind him. For this reason, people believed that Yang Jian abandoned Qin Nana in the post bar, and some people ran away with the news. Go to Qin Nana's live broadcast room to inquire.

Qin Nana must have seen it, because during her live broadcast, the barrage was all about this question, but Qin Nana didn't ask, and kept silent, even her eyes turned a little red.

Her performance made people more convinced of this matter.Many of the bullet screens in Yang Jian's live broadcast room turned into villains.

Yang Jian didn't know about these things. When he saw the screen and suddenly scolded him, he thought it was Qin Nana's rhythm, and he didn't care too much. Now he is completely numb to things like trolls. The brain circuit of the brain can be automatically blocked.

……

At the same time, in the selection of the best newcomer of the year, Xu Yandong already had an overwhelming advantage at this time, and his votes reached a terrifying 960 million votes!

You know, each QQ can only cast one vote per day in this selection, and he actually got 960 million votes in just a week or so.

This can also explain the popularity of Xu Yandong at this time and the current influence of the game LOL.

He has almost locked in the best rookie this time, and it can be said that he is expected by everyone. His performance in the summer split is really too hot.Even Yang Jian had to admit this.

For these reasons, Xu Yandong accepted an exclusive interview with Zhangmeng. During the interview, there were several questions about Yang Jian.

The reporter from the League of Legends asked him: "You performed extremely well in the S6 summer competition, directly won the championship and won the semi-finals in the S series. Now you are almost locked in the rookie king award, and the wizard who debuted with you I also played in the LPL just now, and I killed you twice in the exhibition match. How do you feel now? How do you evaluate the wizard."

Xu Yandong said nonchalantly: "Actually, it's okay. I'm not satisfied with this season. My goal is to win the S series, but the team lost to SKT in the S game. I really want to take the blame, because it is I cheated, as for the wizard..."

He paused and said: "His personal strength is unquestionable, but the LPL game is very different from the LSPL. The wizard still needs to prove himself in the LPL. As for the solo kill in the exhibition game, it is always just an exhibition game. Didn't take it to heart."

He seemed to have the tone of a senior pointing out a younger generation.

"Then you enter the LPL first, what advice do you have for the wizard who will play in the LPL soon? Even if you are challenged by him?" the reporter asked.

Xu Yandong nodded and said: "After he came to LPL, he still needs to adapt himself. I was seamlessly connected at first, and I didn't feel any adaptation. As for his challenge, if he is confident enough, he can challenge me!"

I have to say that Xu Yandong is quite brazen. He was single-killed twice in line with Yang Jian, but now he is like a senior pointing out the younger generation.
