League of Rattles

Chapter 1093

The three-day knockout round was played very quickly.

After all, there are many games to be played every day, and every team seems very busy.

But under the arrangement of the event organizer, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, so there is no panic at all.

After three days of knockout matches, the results of each team were released.

Several of these teams performed very poorly and did not win a single game.

For example, before, when they met Jiandan and the others, they were beaten very badly, but in the end they actually won and did not have their heads shaved.

On their side, the three qualifying teams from the Central Asia region have all been announced.

In the end, Jiandan and his team easily qualified as the first in the division with a record of ten strikes and zero.

The remaining two teams are Taiwan and South Korea.

In fact, as early as the beginning, these three teams had already secured their qualification.

The strength of these three teams is completely not on the same level as other teams.

Moreover, these three teams represent the most elite forces in the three top divisions of the League of Legends, so there is no comparison between them and others, and it is natural for them to qualify.

To put it bluntly, the others were just accompanying the prince to study, but since it was an international competition after all, they had to at least send a team to participate.

What is really unexpected is that South Korea has always been a country with high hopes.

Moreover, before the game actually started, many people felt that South Korea was stronger, so they thought they should be able to qualify as the first in the region.

But in fact, let alone being first in the division, they didn't even make it to second place, and finally qualified as third in the division.

The reason for this is that Jian Dan's arrival directly changed the configuration of this space and time.

In another time and space, the results of their three teams were all eight bars and two, exactly the same.

So in the end there was an extra game, and the final result was that the South Korean team won two games at the same time, defeating both the Chinese team and the Taiwanese team, and won the first place in the division.

But now, because of the simple joining, they have never lost a game, so they qualified with a perfect record.

As for the remaining two, because of the win-loss relationship, although they are both 8-2, Taiwan beat the South Korean team, so they have priority, so when considering the win-loss relationship, they occupy the second place.

Three teams have just emerged, and as for the other regions, their qualifications have also been determined on this day.

In the end, the six major competition areas were divided into six groups, with a total of eight teams, all freshly formed.

And the next thing will be the real Asian Games competition on the 27th.

To put it bluntly, the knockout round they are playing now is not even a formal competition.

Only the games on the 27th, 28th and 29th are real League of Legends games, and there will be a lot of spectators watching the games on site.

At that time, their eight teams will be divided into two groups, A and B.

Each group will have two qualifying spots and will then enter the semi-finals.

The three-day schedule is also very tight. On the first day, we will directly play the group stage.

On the second day, the semi-finals and third-place matches will be played, and on the third day, it will be the finals.

So the schedule for the first day is naturally very tight.

It also means that it will be a huge test for these players.

After all, they need to be on site to prepare from a very early stage.

And after a fight, it doesn't mean they will leave immediately.

They have to wait until the other teams finish playing before it is their turn.

This cycle repeats until all the teams in both groups have finished their games.

This is a huge test for the contestants' physical strength, perseverance, etc. It is possible that some people may not be able to perform well due to lack of physical strength.

Therefore, to play in a competition, you not only need strong personal abilities, but also a strong physique. Only a strong physique can allow you to have the energy to deal with any emergency.

Fortunately, it is simple and you don’t need to consider this issue.

And they no longer have any experience like before, so when encountering various situations, they have a large team of people doing logistical support work.

So there is no need to worry about any problems, let alone encountering the same situation as before, where you didn’t have a drop of water for eight hours.

The knockout round is over, but for most players, it still feels like they haven’t had enough.

The game was very intense. Although most of the matches were between weak teams, there were indeed some strong teams.

For example, during the knockout stage, in addition to the Chinese team, the Taiwanese team and the South Korean team, which all performed very well, the Vietnamese team was also very strong.

After all, there has always been a saying that the South Korean team, that is, the LCK region, produces top laners, while the European and American regions produce mid laners.

As for LPL, it produces a lot of ADCs, while the Vietnam region produces a lot of junglers.

Each region has its own style and playing method.

Why is Saofen so famous?

It’s because when he was in his own country, he became the king in the Korean server despite extremely high latency.

It is like walking forward with a heavy load. Being able to become the king under such conditions has already proved his strength.

It is also because of this reason that he has been sought after by many teams and was pulled into the LPL to become one of the top junglers.

After all six divisions were finished, a draw was made and the groups began.

But after seeing the groups, many people couldn't help but shake their heads.

Group A was a total dance of death.

The Chinese team, the South Korean team and the Vietnamese team are all in this group.

If the Wanwan team hadn't gone to Group B, it would have just been their performance.

On the contrary, the most powerful one in Group B is Wanwan, who just kills everyone indiscriminately.

After the grouping, the two teams with the highest points will advance, followed by the second in Group A against the first in Group B, and the first in Group A against the second in Group B.

The winner advances to the finals, and the loser competes for the final bronze medal.

There is no such thing as a winner's group, loser's group, or a resurrection match.

The Asian Games has a tight schedule, so there is not enough time for them to play slowly.

After completing the draw, the next step is to study the next opponent.

This is the task of Abu and his coaching team.

For Jiandan and the others, all they need to do at this time is to continue to maintain their condition and play better and better in the future.

And at this time, Abu and his team need to pay attention to one more thing, which is that they must win the first place in Group A.

Wanwan team obviously has no opponents in Group B, so it is basically a foregone conclusion that they will take first place.

If we can get first place in Group A, on the one hand, we can avoid meeting the Wanwan team in advance, and on the other hand, we can choose a weaker opponent and advance to the finals.

Even though they are in a very hot state now, there are always chances of unexpected events in a competition. So it is obviously a better choice to play against a weaker opponent in advance so that they can reach a higher level.

Once they directly get the first place in Group A, South Korea and Vietnam will have to compete for the second place, and then they will have to face the Taiwanese team.

In this way, the two of them will fight to the death, while Jiandan and the others can sit back and wait for them in the finals, which is obviously more in their interest.

In Group A, the other Kazakhstan team is just an inexperienced team, so no one takes it seriously. The only two that pose a real threat are the other two.

The South Korean team did not take this defeat seriously, as they knew very well that there would be a tough battle waiting for them next.

Everyone was studying their own team intensively, while on the other hand, the South Korean team that was studying the most was naturally the Chinese team.

Especially Jiandan and UZI, they are the focus of their research.

If it were in the past, their main focus would naturally be on the bottom lane's Zed.

For them, as long as they kill the little dog in the bottom lane, the opponent will basically be silent.

But now that we have simplicity, the results are different.

Especially after this switch to the middle lane, they also need to consider whether Jian Dan is likely to swing further?
For example, let Jiandan continue to go to the middle lane to fight against Feike, or let him go back to the top lane.

This is all very possible. After all, Jiandan used to be a top laner, especially in the top lane, and he won the championship, so it is not impossible for him to return to the top lane to face Kiin.

Thinking about it this way, it becomes a real headache for Coach Kouma.

Because he is proficient in multiple positions and has performed very well in each position, when the opponent chooses to change the formation or change the route, they have to consider how they should respond.

Just like in the last game, they originally chose Pantheon to fight against Xerath, but they didn’t expect that after Xerath switched to the middle lane, he directly broke their lineup.

Instead, Pantheon failed to achieve the desired effect in the bottom lane and was restrained by Lulu.

When the strength of the players on both sides is similar, bp can directly change the situation.

Coach Kouma always felt that the gap between his players and the opposing team was not as big as he had imagined.

It's just that the BP aspect is lagging behind.

The reason why they lost so badly in this game was largely because Xerath suppressed Faker's Galio in the middle lane.

At the same time, it was also a foreshadowing that Xiaohuasheng's blue buff was snatched away at the beginning, which resulted in Xiaohuasheng being restricted by Xiang Guo in the following time and unable to do anything.

Therefore, he felt that the main restriction next should be on the simple support. No matter whether the opponent asked him to continue to play as a support, or go to the middle lane, or return to the top lane, there were only these few people after all. So at this time, the worst that could happen was that he would have to sway with the opponent.

Even if the opponent continues to choose to let Jiandan go to the middle lane, he might as well let Chidi and his team in the bottom lane come to the middle lane to fight against Jiandan.

Anyway, Chidi is in the bottom lane, and because of his phobia, he is always suppressed by the opponent when facing the little dog. In this case, it is better to put this pair of them in the middle lane to suppress this simple point.

However, the specific bp can only be carried out after the game starts. What we are considering now are just some of the details.

In the original time and space, because the knockout rounds had already started in June, when entering the Asian Games finals, the real competition only lasted for three days.

So for the players, the schedule is not as tight as they imagined.

But in this time and space, not only did the Asian Games start a few days late, it only started on the 22nd.

More importantly, we need to play the knockout rounds first, so after three days of knockout rounds it is already the 25th, leaving only one day of rest until the 27th.

Therefore, this is a very big test for the contestants.

Three consecutive days of high-intensity competition have already made them very tired. Now they only have one day of rest and need to continue playing high-intensity bo1.

If you are unable to adjust your condition in time, it is easy for something to go wrong if you are not used to the local climate.

It is worth mentioning that during the Asian Games, although the schedule was very tight, the number of matches was actually much less than expected.

The knockout and group stages were all BO1, only in the semi-finals was it BO3, and the finals was BO5.

So actually, there are not as many games that need to be played as you imagine.

On the 27th, each team only needs to play three games.

The main reason is that the current League of Legends has just joined the Asian Games and it is just an exhibition match, so it is naturally not as intense as imagined.

Defeating the South Korean team and qualifying as the first in the region, although it was of no use, it was still something worth being excited about for Jiandan and the others.

Over the years, LPL teams have always been suppressed by LCK teams.

But they didn't expect that this time under Faker's leadership, the opponent was beaten up by them instead.

This kind of record is naturally very exciting.

Because they only had one day of rest, they naturally did not go out for sightseeing, but stayed in the hotel to rest.

Especially now in August, the weather is very hot. Palembang where they are is very humid and hot. Going out for fun in such weather is simply asking for trouble.

It’s better to stay in the hotel and enjoy the air conditioning, which is much more comfortable.

After the game, Jiandan and his team continued to play two training matches with domestic teams under Abu's arrangement.

Overall, the results were very brilliant, so seeing that they maintained a good competitive state, Abu finally felt relieved.

As long as we continue to maintain this state, there will basically be no problem in the next game.

After the training match on the 26th, it was easy and I could finally relax.

Seeing the points he had accumulated made him smile even more.

It took him many days of hard work to finally accumulate 8,000 points.

But he never expected that due to the huge difference in attributes, his health value could not be increased.

So he could only add the 8,000 points to his own operations.

It took him a long time to accumulate these 8,000 points, but now he is competing in the Asian Games, which is at the level of the world championships.

So the points given for each game are 100, and getting the MVP is a direct reward of 500.

Because his sister dunked one game, Jian Dan actually only played in nine games. However, he got nine MVPs in nine games, which allowed him to get 5,400 points in one go.

Adding on the points accumulated from playing ranked games and training matches, the number of points he had accumulated now exceeded six thousand again.

Among these points, he simply exchanged 4,000 of them for four attribute points and added them to his own operation, raising the operation that had already reached 81 to 85 in one go, which was the limit of the first stage.

At this point, he had basically improved all the attributes that needed to be improved, and the only thing left was awareness.

It is not impossible to continue improving other attributes, but it will require double the points.

Host: Simple. ID: JIAN
Operation: 85
Mentality: 85
Awareness: 50
Team: 85
Responses: 85
Health: 96
Points: 2400
Looking at his own attributes which all reached 85, his consciousness attribute which was only 50 at this time was very eye-catching.

So I simply decided to improve my consciousness attribute first, and then find a way to improve my remaining attributes.

The reason why he didn't add points right away was, on the one hand, because his points were not enough, and on the other hand, he was always worried about what changes would happen after he reached level 60.

I am especially worried that the dotted line prompt will disappear!
This made him a little hesitant, so he decided to wait until the Asian Games were over before considering it further.

It was a bit of a pity, because in the previous knockout rounds, these teams were divided into different competition areas. Therefore, among the more than 20 teams, only ten were actually divided into the same area with them.

So in the end, he only played in ten games, and he only played nine times, so he only accumulated these seven points.

If all twenty countries fight with them, my points will definitely exceed ten thousand, and in this way, my attributes will be much richer.

After the training match, it was free time for Jiandan and the others.
Abu will not force them on this. Although EDG has always been under semi-militarized management, it does not mean that these players have no private space at all.

After all, humans are not machines. Apart from daily training, playing practice games, and ranking themselves, they still need some entertainment.

During this private time, you can watch TV, follow TV series, watch cartoons, read novels or chat with people. It doesn't matter what you do. As long as you complete the basic training tasks, no one will care about you.

So at this time some of them call their families, while others chat on the phone with their girlfriends.

It's simple and not surprising, it seems very busy at this time.

With so many people he knew in the country sending him messages one after another, he seemed very busy at the time.

Time flies by as I send messages to these people one by one.

And at this time, in addition to sending messages to these women he knew, Jiandan also had a group of rich women to maintain.

Fortunately, everyone in this group knew that he went abroad to play competitions, so no one has disturbed him recently, and the people in the group were just chatting with each other.

Only Zhou Xin sent some messages to Jiandan. After all, the office building has been almost arranged, so she started to recruit people one after another.

Jiandan left all these matters to her to handle, but she still reported to Jiandan as usual to let her know that this initially empty shell company now had people entering.

However, because the decoration has just been completed, the smell needs to be cooled down. It is obviously impossible to recruit people on a large scale at this time, so there is no rush.

The main thing now is to recruit some key managers, and for the remaining ordinary staff, we can take time to hold a job fair when we have time.

After dealing with the company's affairs, I seemed a little bored for a while.

But just when he seemed a little bored, he didn't expect that Yang Mi and the others would actually take the initiative to send him messages. Usually they would just send simple messages to say hello or chat.

It is quite rare for Yang Mi to send him a message on her own initiative.

When faced with the message from Yang Mi inviting him to play games, Jian Dan accepted it without thinking too much.

Since you are free anyway, you might as well play games with a beautiful girl to kill some boring time.

After all, humans are not machines, although before, Jiandan had been training hard in order to get more points.

But occasional relaxation and rest is also necessary, especially after he started playing training games and gained a lot of points. For him, the urgency of ranking was not so intense.

Now his attributes are no different from those of top players.

Even without the dotted line reminder, it is not as bad as last year's World Championship, where you will not be beaten up in the laning phase.

Now if we simply don't consider his awareness attribute, he is basically a blue-collar player, and in the auxiliary position, this attribute of his can be considered top-notch.

After all, the support position does not focus so much on personal operational attributes, but more on teamwork and awareness.

Time always flies quickly when playing games with her and Da Mi Mi, and the atmosphere between them during the chat is also harmonious and relaxed.

Compared to the aunts, Jiandan seems very relaxed when getting along with Yang Mi.

It’s just like facing your friends, without so many thoughts or intrigues. You don’t need to put on airs or hide yourself deliberately.

To put it bluntly, the two have never met in real life. They just knew each other on the Internet. Therefore, whether it is Yang Mi or Jian Jian, it is like facing a strange netizen. Even though they know that the other party is actually a celebrity, in reality, without any contact, after they get to know each other, their words and actions seem more casual.

Perhaps it is because they have never met each other in the real world, so they are not afraid of their image in the other person's eyes collapsing on the Internet. They are naturally casual when speaking and doing things, without so many twists and turns.

"How do you feel when you face the South Korean team? Will you be excited to play in the Asian Games?"

During the game, Yang Mi asked Jian Dan what it felt like during the competition.

"I don't really feel anything. After I got on the stage, the only thing I needed to do was to win the game and defeat my opponent. That was enough. I didn't feel nervous or anything like that."

After thinking about it, Jiandan realized that he had never felt what it was like to be nervous when he was in a competition.

"You should know that when I first entered the competition last year, it was the World Championship, and at that time it was the most important game for the team. If you lost, you had to get out as soon as possible. Even in that situation, I didn't feel nervous when I played, let alone now."

Hearing the simple words, Yang Mi nodded.

Indeed, Jian Dan always had a confident smile on his face, and he had never been seen to show any nervousness.

Just imagine that in a life-and-death game, a new player who had never played any game before was urgently arranged to play in the game.

But even so, he was not nervous at all. Instead, he and his teammates calmly defeated the opponent without any running-in and advanced to the finals.

This kind of psychological quality is really not something that ordinary people can compare to. A young player who has never played any competition is stepping onto the world stage for the first time, and he is playing when his teammates have been pushed to the edge of the cliff. If they lose, he will be the one to take the blame.

In order to get a better understanding of him, Yang Mi specially watched his game videos. Naturally, she paid more attention to his first game.

It can be seen even more clearly from the barrage that many people at that time were very pessimistic about Jiandan's participation. They all thought that they were giving up hope and chose a new player to take the blame after thinking they could not beat the opponent.

But what no one expected was that it was this rookie player who crushed SKT's dream of winning three consecutive championships. In the subsequent games, he advanced to the finals and defeated the opponent 3-0.

When she thought that it had been almost a year since he started playing in the competition, but till now, he had not lost even a big match, and only once in a small match, she felt that this person was too terrifying.

But think about it, it seems that Jiandan never lost when he played King of Glory with them. Even though he was a beginner and had little experience in this game, he was able to master the heroes very quickly. After playing two games, he basically understood them and then led them to kill on the field.

This also indirectly proves how terrifying simple talent is.

While chatting with Yang Mi, Jian Dan felt a little confused as the other party seemed to be very aware of her movements.

Normally, if you just watch the live broadcast on the Internet, you shouldn't know this much.

Because when they were playing the game, the live broadcast was on Channel 5.

As a sports channel, Channel 5 will basically not completely give up on their side during the live broadcast. Instead, various sports events will be broadcast simultaneously, so the screen switching will be very fast. Each event can have three to five minutes, which is a very good stay time.

Under such circumstances, it is even more unrealistic to watch their games. Basically, you can only watch them on a special online live broadcast platform to see the complete game video.

Jian Dan doesn't think that someone like Yang Mi would have the time to specifically look for relevant live broadcast channels online to watch her own games.

But the words she said casually at this time proved that she really knew herself very well and could explain the situation of the game in detail.

The reason why Jian has such a clear understanding is that during the chat, Yang Mi talked about some wonderful highlights of their previous games, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

Could it be that she was watching the game live?

Such a very abrupt thought emerged in Jiandan's mind, but he quickly shook his head, thinking that this was simply impossible.

What kind of person is Da Mi Mi? She is a tough girl and a hard worker.

How could a ruthless person who is willing to break up his family for work have the leisure time to go abroad to watch his own game?
What's more, he has no special relationship with the other party, so how could he come over to watch the game for himself?
So I simply think that this is just a delusion in my mind.

After ending the call with Jian Dan, Yang Mi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel, looking at the lights and feasting outside.

Compared with cities in China, this city is not inferior. As a port city, prosperity is inevitable, and the scenery is naturally very different from that in China.

These days, Yang Mi and Reba have basically been watching the games at the stadium, so they don’t have much time to hang out.

At night, the city was hidden in darkness, like a terrifying monster, ready to devour anyone it chose, so the two girls did not dare to run around.

Therefore, Reba’s dream of traveling abroad was never realized.

I did eat a lot of delicious food, but after getting used to the food at home, I came to a foreign country. When faced with these so-called delicious things, I just tried them for a try. If I really want to say how delicious they are, for Reba, a foodie, it is just that.

Seeing Yang Mi standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Reba's eyes rolled around and she thought of the two girls she met yesterday.

Only she herself knew what she was thinking at this moment.

Yang Mi, wearing a red nightgown, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Her snow-white skin and bright red lips looked even more eye-catching.

It’s a pity that only they can see this beautiful scenery at this time, and outsiders have no chance to appreciate it.

No one had the chance to see the towering omen of great misfortune at this time.

"You said you took great pains to squeeze in your own announcements and finally found time to go abroad to have some fun, but after you came here, you just sat there in the stadium for a few days. Was it really worth it?"

Reba was still a little unwilling. She finally had some vacation time, but was pulled here by her boss. She watched the games for several days foolishly. The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt.

So at this time she really wanted to change her boss's mind and go shopping next door.

Even if you don’t go to Bali, which you have always dreamed of, you can at least take a stroll around this city.

"Don't you think it's exciting and fun to watch their games live?"

Da Mi Mi turned around and looked at her.

"Don't you feel excited to hear the audience cheering and jumping for joy for the wonderful operations they have made? I remember that you cheered quite loudly at that time."

"It looks good, but isn't that the atmosphere? Has it been affected by others?"

Reba would never admit that she was so excited. She said that she was completely influenced by the people around her, so she behaved so irrationally.

But think about it, as a very well-known star in China with more than 40 million followers, so she needs to maintain her dignity in everything she does and cannot make random moves, lest she be seen by some unscrupulous media and have her image discredited.

But when I was abroad, there was no such restriction. No one knew me here. No, except the two people I met yesterday.

But apart from these few people who know me, in the eyes of others, I am just an ordinary Chinese woman. I can cry loudly, laugh loudly, and cheer loudly. No one will blame me for my inappropriate image or over-interpret me.

Because there were many people at the scene who screamed louder and more enthusiastically than her.

Watching them cheering and screaming loudly for their favorite contestants was a very touching experience for Yang Mi and Reba.

They seem to have some understanding of what it's like for those fans to cheer loudly when they see their favorite stars.

This is because they are not fans of any particular person, but are just influenced by the audience when they came to the scene.

No wonder when those singers hold concerts, the fans at the scene cheer so happily and excitedly.

"Do you want to continue watching the game? Sister Mi, we have been here for so many days, and they didn't even have a game today, so we have just stayed in the hotel like an idiot for the whole day.

We didn't have any activities in the morning, so we waited until the kid finished his training match before playing a few games with him. Is it really worth it?"

Originally, they thought that since they had finished the game and had a day off today, the two of them could go out for a walk.

But what no one expected was that Yang Mi stayed in the hotel the whole day. In the afternoon, when Jian Dan was free, she invited him to play a few games of King of Glory together, and that ended the day.

Although Reba was very unwilling, she had no choice but to accept the decision because Yang Mi was her boss.

"You think I don't want to go out and play, but where are you going to go with just the two of us? Especially going out so late at night, you want to die."

Yang Mi was also helpless. She felt that she had made a mistake and ran here foolishly with only Reba.

It was very unwise for the two girls to run around in a foreign country without an assistant or bodyguard.

Especially considering that foreign countries are very chaotic and the public security is much worse than that in China, after thinking about it, Yang Mi chose to stay in the hotel honestly instead of wandering around, for fear of any accidents.

As a wealthy woman with considerable wealth, she naturally doesn't want to joke with her own life.

I don’t want to put myself in danger just because of momentary excitement and go out for fun.

After hearing what Yang Mi said, Reba nodded reluctantly.

Indeed, the country's public security has always been criticized, so it is understandable that some chaos has occurred. Thinking in this way, I understand Yang Mi's thoughts, and most of the resentment in my heart has dissipated.

After all, it's for safety reasons.

Just thinking about it makes me angry!

I came to a foreign country and thought I could have a good time traveling, but in the end, I could only stay in the hotel. It makes me uncomfortable just thinking about it.

"They will continue their competition tomorrow, but judging from the schedule, their competition tomorrow will not be that intense. After the groups are divided, we can be selective in watching."

When talking about tomorrow's game, Reba became excited again.

At the beginning, she was very unfamiliar with this game, but as she got to know the game in depth and understood the competition, she felt that this game was very entertaining to watch, and compared with the "Pesticide" competition, it was completely on a different level.

"I watched tomorrow's game. After they were divided into groups, the four teams played a round-robin match within the group, so each team had to deal with the other three teams, and each team had to play three games.

Compared to the previous schedule, the schedule will be much tighter, and I heard that the strong teams are concentrated in Group A, so the most exciting games will be those in Group A. We can choose to watch Group A's games when the time comes."

When it comes to things about the competition, Yang Mi talks very clearly at this time.

On the one hand, it is because she herself has a certain level of gaming skills. More importantly, because she has been watching simple live broadcasts and competitions for a long time, her understanding of the game is naturally incomparable to Reba.

What's more, at this time there are a lot of people at home and abroad who are paying attention to this event, and many people are participating in the discussion.

Therefore, the most hotly discussed topic is naturally the match between the three strong teams.

Therefore, in Yang Mi's opinion, there are only three games tomorrow that are truly worth looking forward to.

That is the Chinese team against the South Korean team, which is a replica of yesterday's game.

Then it's China versus Vietnam, and South Korea versus Vietnam.

These three teams are a powerful combination in Group A.

The remaining team is just a bonus.

Even when people were discussing this, Yang Mi was surprised to find that no one mentioned that team. Everyone said the same thing: they were unlucky guys and inexperienced people.

This is not contempt, it is indeed the case.

It is extremely unfortunate for the other teams to be assigned to the same group with these three teams.
