Generally speaking, the captain and vice-captain of each school's team are naturally the two strongest, otherwise other team members would not be convinced.
Liu Bin continued beside him: "Fortunately, neither Senior Xu Ying nor Senior Lin Shanshan left, otherwise our school's strength would have collapsed all of a sudden."
Wang Yichang echoed: "Indeed, Xu Ying and Lin Shanshan were already the main members of the school team in the last period of last semester."
"If it weren't for the lack of experience, we wouldn't have stopped in the quarterfinals of the city league."
Liu Bin said with some regret: "It's a pity that the last city league was just a little bit close. If it weren't for the wrong prediction, we wouldn't have lost."
Jiang Jing had also heard what Liu Bin said and often heard him discuss this matter. In fact, that matter had always been a pain point in the school.
The main competition of the Rongcheng City League is divided into two schedules, the preliminaries and the semi-finals. The preliminaries are 32 middle schools to determine eight middle schools to enter the semi-finals.
The number of middle schools in Rongcheng is as high as 74, including many public and private schools.
Among them, the strength gap among the trainers in the schools is also uneven. It would be a waste of time if we have to fight against each school.
Therefore, the official formulated a rule to design a preliminary round before the main competition of the Rongcheng City League. Schools that want to participate in the main competition must obtain enough points in the preliminary competition.
The points can only be obtained by winning the game.
For example, the bottom line for entering the preliminary round is 20 points, which means that 74 schools need to compete with the remaining 73 schools until they obtain 20 points.
Therefore, there are an unusually many competitions to participate in. If you participate in competitions every day, there will be no time for elf training. At this time, members of the second team are needed to help members of the first team gain points.
This is why there are 25 spots for members of the No. 8 Middle School team.
The competition format of the Rongcheng City competition is that ten people from both schools compete against each other. In the end, the number of games won will be determined. The one who wins more games will get one point.
Strong schools will divide the first team and the second team, but some schools only have one team, because their first team cannot beat their second team. If they are not on the first team, they cannot win at all. After all, the gap between schools is also very big. .
After qualifying for the main draw, 34 teams competed until the top eight were selected to participate in the semi-finals.
Last year's eighth middle school fell in front of the rematch.
The reason is that the rules of the competition require participating schools to submit a list ranked in order of strength from high to low to the official before the start of the main competition.
Then the two sides will play against each other one by one in the order of the list.
There is something special about this. The highest and lowest are good arrangements, but the ones in the middle are difficult to arrange. If you arrange them well, the probability of entering the next round will be higher.
The eighth middle school fell down here, placing a not very strong player in the fifth position, while the stronger player was ranked sixth, resulting in seven or eight consecutive losses.
The last game was just this one, and we lost, otherwise we would have entered the quarterfinals.
Because according to the regulations, if the two sides draw after ten games, there will be an extra game. The strongest player from both sides will compete again. The winner will be promoted, and the loser will be eliminated.
At that time, the players in the eighth middle school were obviously stronger, but they lost that battle.
This is the closest the No. 8 Middle School has come to the quarterfinals. Many students cried directly after losing the game.
In recent years, the performance of the No. 8 Middle School has gradually improved. In the past, it was only around the first round, but now it can reach the top eight.
Liu Bin continued: "After I enter the school team, I will almost enter the points competition."
Cheng Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "You're overthinking it. You're just joining the school team. Are you kidding me?"
Liu Bin said unhappily: "Rabbit, don't look down on me. Just wait. I will enter the school team then and let you see my strength."
Wang Yichang said: "What, you still want to say don't deceive young people into being poor?"
Liu Bin smiled and said, "That's not necessary."
Jiang Jing said: "Okay, stop making trouble, the school team from No. 10 Middle School is here too."
Now everyone's attention was focused on the entrance of the arena, where a group of boys and girls wearing blue uniforms walked out.
Some are tall, some are thin, some are short, some are fat, they look like thirteen or fourteen people.
As soon as I came in, I was arranged to sit down in the rest area opposite, and at the same time, the staff from both sides began to communicate.
There are four LED display screens installed above the entire arena. Even the audience sitting at the back can clearly see what is happening in the arena.
Having said that, the screen is indeed a bit small and the pixels are not very good.
At the same time, the four LED screens lit up, and the upper left corner showed that there were still 10 minutes until the start of the game.
There is a paragraph of text in the middle. The specific content is that there will be a friendly match with No. 10 Middle School tonight. There will be 7 players from both sides participating in the match, and each person can use one elf.
Liu Bin complained from the side: "It's true that both sides didn't come to the friendly match. It's probably just to warm up."
"But the level of No. 10 Middle School is about the same as our school. I guess some people have watched it."
The entire auditorium is still a little noisy, the game has not started, and the school leaders have not stopped it.
At this time, in the rest area of No. 8 Middle School, Lin Shanshan, the vice-captain, suddenly said loudly: "Although today's match is just a friendly match, we cannot lose to No. 10 Middle School."
"Although Xu Ying and I won't be able to do it, everyone has to be serious."
A tall, middle-aged man with a weathered face standing nearby said: "Shanshan is right, you should take it seriously."
"You can't be careless just because it's a friendly match."
"I've already arranged the list for the meeting: Ruan Xiao, Zhou Fei, Yu Siya, Shi Lei... the seven of you come on."
The surrounding school team members whose names were called nodded.
The coach nodded with satisfaction, turned around and handed the list to the referee. At the same time, he also saw the opponent's coach. Both sides were old friends and nodded to each other.
The four LED displays above the arena began to switch screens, and an overhead view of the arena appeared, dividing the two sides.
The players from the 10th Middle School on the left and the players from the 8th Middle School on the right have seven avatars appearing on their respective sides, in order from top to bottom.
At this time, the game time has arrived, and the referee walks onto the arena wearing a small microphone.
Announced: "I declare that the friendly match between Rongcheng No. 8 Middle School and Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School has officially begun."
"First of all, I will announce the rules. Each player can use only one elf, and they will fight until one party loses the ability to fight or admits defeat."
“The first round contestants will be invited next.”
"Bah bang bang!!"
There was a thunderous sound in the audience, and at the same time, passionate BGM also sounded in the arena. The first-round contestants from both sides entered the arena amidst the roar of the crowd.
Liu Bin said: "The first one on our side is senior Zhou Fei. He is very good. I liked him before."
Zhou Feiqi is a handsome boy with a slim figure and a three-quarter hairstyle.
And his opponent was a fat man with a stout figure.
The referee announced: "Both sides please release the elves."
