Amid the expectations of more than one billion Honor viewers around the world, on October 2, the Honor World Cup finally begins.
The Chinese team also put in a lot of effort in the opening ceremony of the Glory World Cup.
The first thing is to show our country’s local culture to countries around the world, and there is a wave of cultural export.
Then there was a holographic projection e-sports performance, which directly ignited the opening game and led to the peak.
After the opening ceremony, the draw for the World Cup groups will naturally begin.
First of all, there are a total of 32 countries participating in the Glory World Cup this time.
They are:
Host: Chinese team.

Thirty-two teams, drawn into four groups.
Not long after, the drawing of lots was completed and the results of the group divisions came out.
Group A: Team Canada. Irish team. Australian team. Team India. Italian team. Qatar team. Thailand team. Singapore team.
Group B: Netherlands. Swiss team. Team USA. Austrian team. Russian team. South Korean team. Belgian team. Portugal team.

Group D: Belgium. Iran team. Japan team. Mexican team. Polish team. Norwegian team. Swedish team. Spanish team.
After the grouping, the schedule and competition rules of this World Cup began to be announced.
The first is the announcement of the game schedule.
The schedule of the World Cup is divided into three parts: group stage, ranking stage, and championship competition.
The group stage consists of four groups, with eight teams in each group. These eight teams compete in two rounds. The four teams with the highest points can qualify and enter the second round of the top eight rankings.
The group stage has eight games every day, that is, each group has two games. Each group will conduct two rounds of competition, with a total of 14 games.
In other words, the group promotion competition will end in seven days.
The 16 teams that finally advance will compete in the quarterfinals in the second round.
The top eight competition is based on a draw system. 16 teams draw lots and fight against each other, winning three out of five games.
The eight winning teams are the top eight teams in the world.
So this quarterfinals competition is all about luck.
If you are unlucky and get the strongest team, then your World Cup can only stop here.
If you are lucky and draw a weak team, then you are also lucky.
But how can there be any weak teams among the teams that can advance from the group stage?
The top 16 teams that can stand out from the 32 teams must all be strong teams, but there are also strong and weak teams among them.
After the top eight teams are decided, it’s time for the championship.
The eight teams also drew lots and competed against each other.
It is also a best-of-five game system to determine the top four.
Then we continue to draw lots, and the best of five rounds determines the outcome, with four going into two.
The two strongest teams that finally won will determine the global champion of this World Cup in the finals.
After the schedule is announced, the competition system is announced.
The format of the World Cup is that each national team can only have 25 members, 24 professional firsts and a team leader.
These 25 people can participate in the entire World Cup match without any restrictions.
The competition is also divided into three parts: singles competition, group competition and team competition.
The heads-up match is a 10V10 match.
The arena match is also a 10V10 match.
The team competition is 20V20, no substitutes!
This style of play completely breaks any style of play that has ever appeared in Glory.
Regular Glory matches are 6V6 team matches and 3V3 heads-up matches.
Even in the last World Invitational Tournament, the singles competition was only 6V6, the group competition was 5V5, and the team competition was 10V10.
But now, the number of people has doubled.
This is not as simple as doubling the numbers.
If the number of people in an e-sports competition doubles, then the tactical arrangements, teammate cooperation, playing styles and personnel transfer arrangements will be completely different.
Xiao is a master from all walks of life who has already participated in the World Invitational Tournament. Facing the new competition system of this World Cup, everyone has a sad look on their faces and is completely unable to control it.
However, the Chinese team has completely adapted to this new competition system.
In the past month, the Chinese team has already begun to arrange new tactics.
In order to allow the members of the national team participating in the World Cup to better adapt to the rhythm of the game, Honor officials also specially selected 24 first-class players from the Honor League to practice with the players of the national team.
Just this kind of sparring took almost a week.
So now the players of the Chinese team are not only comfortable with this new competition system, but they are definitely able to control it easily.
However, the foreign players who came early only had three days in advance to familiarize themselves with the new style of play.
Some arrogant teams just arrived in Beishi yesterday and may not have started to adapt to the new style of play yet.
And even for those teams that came three days in advance, they had no one to practice with them. They only had to explore on their own for three days, and they could only have a half-knowledge.
So when the host announced the details of the World Cup format, many players from foreign teams booed.
They used this behavior to protest against the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the Chinese team.
They knew clearly that the competition system had been changed, but they did not notify them in advance or invite them to participate in the training camp.
Such behavior is so shameful.
In the last World Championship, Zurich invited all teams to Zurich, giving them a month in advance to familiarize themselves with the new competition system.
How come you are so fussy about the Chinese team?
No gentlemanly etiquette at all!
However, they forgot.
In the last World Championship, they invited almost all the teams to Zurich for training, but they did not invite our Chinese team.
Let our members experience the pain of jet lag and familiarity with the competition system.
Now it is our country's turn to host the World Cup, and naturally we will not invite you to familiarize yourself with the competition system.
And we are not inviting anyone, not to anyone or any team, but to all of you here, all of you!
Fair and just, treat everyone equally! (End of chapter)
