Honor officially announced the details and details of this World Cup.
The first is the participating countries, with a total of 32 teams.
A total of 25 people from each team can participate in this World Cup.
Among the 25 people, one is the team leader, and the other 24 people are the first people in the 24 glorious professions in each country to participate.
To put it bluntly, 24 All-Stars from various countries are participating in the Glory World Cup.
Because the number of teams is 24, this World Cup is different from the previous World Invitational.
This World Cup is also divided into three parts.
The first is the heads-up match.
The heads-up competition has been changed from 5V5 in the World Invitational Tournament to 10V10.
The arena competition has also been changed from 5V5 to 10V10.
The team competition has been changed from 12v12 in the World Invitational Tournament to 20V20.
Such changes have made the World Cup format more exciting.
More people participating in the competition and more intense competition will naturally make the audience feel better.
And such an increase in the number of people will undoubtedly increase the length of the game.
Then a game may end in four hours instead of two hours in the past.
That way, for the same price, viewers can watch more games, which is great value!
For professional players, such a competition with more people is undoubtedly a new challenge.
Such a competition will consume more energy and patience of the players, and will be a great test on the players’ character and state.
But the Z country team is not panic at all.
Because the Honor World Cup has been scheduled, that is, the opening match will be held at the Bird's Nest in Beishi City on October 2.
Why is it scheduled for October 2nd? Because October 1st is the National Day, and everyone has to watch the National Day military parade.
Then National Day is another holiday, and everyone has a holiday. They have time to pay attention to the opening game of the Honor World Cup, so that the Honor World Cup will have more attention on that day.
As the host of this World Cup, Team Z has advantages that other teams cannot match.
That is, the advantage of adapting to the competition system in advance.
In the last World Invitational Tournament, Team Z was the only team that did not adapt to the competition system in advance. They were crowded out by other teams.
But this time, it is Team Z's turn to take charge, and they will naturally not let the tragedy of the last World Invitational Tournament repeat itself.
Last time, Team Z was the targeted party. Now Team Z is the organizer and has the final right of interpretation!
Furthermore, in order for the Z country team to gain more advantages, at the glory headquarters of country Z, since the country Z applied for the right to host the World Cup, the glory technicians of country Z have been developing competition rules for the 24-player format. .
It is only September, and the World Cup will only start in October. The Z country team has nearly a month to adapt to the new competition system.
But other teams are only eligible to come if they receive an invitation from Team Z.
But the Z country team will not invite other national teams to Zurich for training a month in advance like Zurich did, so that there will be no secrets between each other's teams.
And every team has been given the opportunity to adapt, and they have no advantage at all.
The Z national team decided this time to wait until one week before the start of the World Cup to send invitation letters to these teams and allow them to go to Beijing City to familiarize themselves with the new competition system.
In this way, all the players of the Z country team have adapted for nearly a month, while members of other national teams can only adapt in less than a week.
This week they have to adapt to the environment, jet lag and all, what can they research?
Although this approach seems a bit unethical.
But this is the Glory World Cup. For the benefit of the Z country team, you must do whatever it takes.
Compared to Zurich’s approach, the Z national team’s approach is already very forgiving and forgiving.
It’s not as awesome as Zurich did.
At least, the Z country team gave other teams a week to adapt. As for the competition format, it is the same as that of the World Invitational Tournament.
The first is the group stage. There are four groups in total, with 8 teams in each group.
Eight teams competed in two rounds, and the top 4 teams were qualified to advance to the quarterfinals.
So in the end 16 teams will advance. These 16 teams will compete in the next round, and finally the top eight teams will be determined for the following ranking competition.
The top eight compete for the top four, the top four compete for a spot in the finals, and the finals compete for the World Cup championship.
This World Invitational Tournament not only excited the billions of Honor fans, but also allowed some players who were planning to retire to once again find a reason to continue playing.
Like the Z national team, Su Mucheng, Chu Yunxiu and others who originally planned to release a retirement press conference before the start of the 14th season, after learning the news that the World Invitational Tournament was about to be held, They all gave up the idea of retiring.
Although they have already participated in the last World Invitational Tournament once, no one will dislike the opportunity to participate in one more World Invitational Tournament.
They have not yet reached the age where they can no longer be beaten. At this time, they are like Ye Xiu who retired from Excellent Era.
It is true that they have reached the end of their career, but they are also at the end of their career, and they can still perform at the level of first-class players.
As long as they are willing to fight for another two years, it will not matter at all. ,
However, with their current lineup, they won’t be of much help to the Misty Rain team. In addition, after ten years of debut, they are indeed tired.
It’s okay if they don’t have a partner. Now that they all have partners, they naturally want to retire and live a happy life with their lovers.
Especially for Su Mucheng, Ye Xiu has retired. She is alone in Glory and has lost her original passion.
However, as soon as the news of the second World Invitational Tournament came out, she and Chu Yunxiu decided to continue playing for another year.
Finish the World Invitational Tournament, finish the fourteenth season, and then retire directly.
Actually, they are not the only ones who have the same idea as them.
Like them, there are Yu Wenzhou from Team Blue Rain, Zhang Xinjie from Team Tyranny, Li Yihui from Team 301, Xiao Shiqin from Team Excellent Era, Li Xuan from Team Void, and Team Huangfeng from Team Royal Wind. Tian Sen.
Like Su Mucheng, they are both players who debuted in the fourth season. They are called the [Golden Generation] by the world.
However, these players who debuted in the fourth season have already been debuting for ten years. They are now veterans in their twenties and sixties. They have all reached the end of their careers. It's the end.
Coupled with the fact that they have been unsuccessful in their pursuit of the championship, and now that Glory has introduced a large number of foreign players, the pressure on them, the captains and core players, has doubled.
If you don't play well, netizens will say that your performance is not as good as foreign players.
If you play well, let's just say that you are a ghost every now and then, and you have completely lost the strength you had at your peak.
Anyway, the current pace of the Glory League makes it impossible for them to retire in the team.
So they all want to announce their retirement before the start of the fourteenth season and bid farewell to the stage of glory.
But the appearance of the World Invitational Tournament ignited their passion for glory again.
They are at the end of their careers, but do they want to leave Glory?
Of course not.
Who wants to leave the place where he spent all his youth?
Who is willing to give up the partner who has been with him throughout his youth?
They love glory, and their love for glory is sincere.
Just like Ye Xiu said, you will never get tired of playing Glory for ten more years.
If possible, they would be willing to play Glory for another ten years.
But the current glory situation forces them to choose to leave.
But now that the World Invitational Tournament is coming again, of course they want to participate in another World Invitational Tournament before retiring so that they will not have any regrets in their career.
Therefore, they, members of the golden generation, all made a unanimous decision.
That is, after participating in this World Cup, they chose to retire.
This World Cup will be the last time for this group of golden generation players to stand on the World Cup stage.
The world will see the last dance of the golden generation on the stage of glory! (End of this chapter)
