With a slight advantage of 1 point, they defeated the old powerhouse Suhu team and successfully won the championship. Suhu and Dongjiang teams won second and third place respectively. 】
【This victory not only writes a new historical chapter for the Pohu team, but also brings new vitality and hope to the women's Go world. 】

【The [Most Improved Award] was given to Yang Manjing of the Suhu Women's Team for the second consecutive year. 】
[In fact, this award is quite controversial - many chess fans believe that Xu Nanying, the third-level chess player of the Dongjiang team and a record of 16 wins and 2 losses this season, is more suitable to receive this more motivational award. of awards. 】
[But objectively speaking, the progress made by the "Little Witch" in the past two seasons is obvious to all. It has grown from the second echelon to another quasi-leader who can threaten the status of the two players. There is absolutely no enemy on the second stage. 】

...
Hmm...
Wolf, this time is really coming...
On the morning of December 7th, South Korean Chess Academy.
Jin Youen, who had just received the translation of the news on the Yiguo platform from Huaxia's news source, couldn't help but frown slightly after reading it.
Even though the queen knew that the girl would be a difficult opponent for her in the future since the "Mama Calling Game" last year.
But now when the opponent is about to come to him as an almost equal, the current number one woman still feels a little unreal.
After all... how long has it been!
Looking at her strength last year, one could still say that her performance in the game was just extraordinary.
I met her in the air-fan battle finals earlier this year, and I was able to pinpoint her weaknesses relatively reliably.
Even when she was eliminated from this year's Yingyi Cup by Takuya Ichijo, the queen believed that as long as she aimed at the opponent, the "Empress Zhao" should not be able to make a big splash.
But now...
Jin Youen couldn't help but swallow.
The Ice Queen knows all about the current situation of this potential challenger. On November 28, in the tenth round of the Siege League, the Pohu team faced the Chengdu team at home. Rui Zhao was caught by Chengdu team general Kuai Liang on the first fast chess table.
Fast chess, or against a female player - logically, this should be a game that "Old Kuai", a fast chess master, would like to see.
However, Kuai Jiuduan, who almost overturned in the Pinghu Quick Chess Tournament last time, was not careless at all this time. From the beginning, he strictly followed the "Empress Zhao Tian's response plan", strengthening the walls and clearing the field, and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
However, in the face of Rui Zhao's increasingly diverse methods of provoking wars and the increasing level of officialdom, Kuai Liang was so focused that he gave up his favorite patrol. , and finally was relieved to win a small victory of one and a quarter pieces, which was regarded as a dangerous pass.
And after watching this game, the Ice Queen had to admit - in fast chess, which Rui Zhao is obviously better at, even against Laman, there is a high probability that she can't beat Rui Zhao. !
As for slow chess, the situation is not very optimistic...
Thinking of this, Jin Youen couldn't help but glance at Zheng Caixi, who had just played against Rui Zhao. He sent her a message last night:
[Youen, do you really want to go to the finals of the Wuyue Cup this time? Be careful with this Rui Zhao! 】
【When I played with her this afternoon, I felt it was more difficult than meeting you in the domestic competition! 】
[Although I feel that you should still be a little better than her when you go all out in the international competition, but I'm afraid it won't be much better! 】
【Be sure to do more research! Otherwise, you will definitely suffer! 】
Does the study address...?
Seeing this last sentence, Jin Youen couldn't help but sigh again.
If I don’t study the target, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do against her!
Jin Youen couldn't help but pursed his lips, then put away his mobile phone and continued to devote himself to the final preparations...
…
…
Today’s time flies by.
December 10th, the night before the Wuyue Cup finals begins.
Still at the Yongle Silver Beach Hotel in Rongcheng City, the organizers held the media meeting and lottery ceremony before the final stage of this Wuyue Cup as usual.
Although the LIG Cup World Series is still going on - Liu Shixian and Lei Qi, the two top players in their respective countries, will compete in the finals the day after tomorrow - this Wuyue Cup final stage, it still attracted a large number of reporters from inside and outside the circle to report on it, which was very lively.
Everyone knows that compared to the young master of the Liu family who has been strong for a long time this year, the Ice Queen, who has always been considered to be more dominant in the field of women's Go, this time is actually facing the wave of "five consecutive women's world" she has started since the beginning. The biggest challenge since the crown.
The final draw results did not keep reporters waiting for too long:
[Liu Yuhong] vs. [Yang Manjing]
[Rui Zhao] vs. 【Kim Woo-eun】!
When the semi-final matches were determined, almost everyone knew that the final of this Wuyue Cup would be changed from "three rounds of chess" to "one decisive victory".
There is no doubt that this nominal semi-final match between the two leading women will determine the final champion of this Wuyue Cup, and even...
Determine the throne of the leading female player today.
After the lottery results were confirmed, reporters from various media outlets rushed to write articles immediately, bringing various forward-looking reports and building momentum for this focus battle against Maimang. Even the Ice Queen herself looked solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.
However, Rui Zhao, the other protagonist in tomorrow's key battle, acted very relaxed.
After the media meeting, Zhao Tianhou hid in her room immediately, pulled Zeng Guangwen to find Sun Yi Lianmai, who had just been eliminated by Master Liu in the semi-finals, and planned to review the game Today's two LIG Cup semi-finals.
Of course, for Rui Zhao himself, this is nothing surprising.
In her opinion, this much-anticipated "battle for the number one woman in the world"...
It is nothing more than her way to the final decisive battle in February next year. It’s just a precious but ordinary training opportunity...
