Chapter 252 Group Stage, Start

Qin Yang and Tao Kan stared at these extremely cool mechas. Although they were about to cry with envy, they still knew their limits.

The group stage will begin in two days. Although their games will not be so early, their needs should still be prioritized.

The two looked at each other and hated themselves for not living up to their expectations!

Seeing their flirting, Lu Chuan put his arm around their shoulders with a smile: "Don't be sad, I haven't forgotten you."

When Qin Yang heard this, he immediately stood up: "You mean!! Chuanzi, from now on you are my real brother!!"

Tao Kan couldn't hide his excitement. After all, who wouldn't want a mecha like this!
Lu Chuan patted the two of them and said, "Don't worry, we'll start doing your work later."

Qin Yang and Tao Kan ate Lu Chuan's big cake with tears in their eyes, and took the opportunity to make suggestions: "Can I apply for two more pairs of wings like Ah Yan?"

Lu Chuan gave him a smile, then said mercilessly: "I declined."

After getting the new mecha, everyone's enthusiasm for training reached an unprecedented high.

Especially after they discovered that they had mechas that were more suitable for them, their strength increased visibly!
"I now feel that if I use this mech to play in the play-in round, I will definitely not struggle as much as before..."

After experiencing the shock brought by the groundhog button, Fu Heng's self-confidence reached an unprecedented level.

Then Ji Sui said, "But your opponents in the group stage are also stronger than those in the qualifying rounds. They will also use their own mechas." He came to his senses instantly.

Thanks, calm down.

Soon it was time for the group stage to officially begin.

Because the group stage is a points system, this means they will play against all the players in the group.

The winner gets 2 points and the loser gets 0 points. In extremely rare cases, a draw may occur, in which case 1 point is accumulated. Finally, the 5 players with the highest points in the group will enter the knockout stage.

But this so-called draw generally doesn't mean much, because it basically means that the mechas of both sides are severely damaged and cannot continue the game.

When it's damaged to this extent, there's no difference between repairing it and just building a new one.

Nearly half of the people who can participate in the competition cannot produce another mecha in the short term. If it is the last game, it is okay, but if it is in the middle of the schedule, the group stage can basically be declared over.

In short, even if there are ten groups, the group stage schedule is still very long.

Compared to a direct elimination match, this competition system does increase the margin for error. But on the other hand, the long competition schedule puts more pressure on the players' endurance.

Of course, the most important thing is to test the endurance of the mecha.

Fortunately, Blue Star was well prepared this time, and the mecha repairmen in Lu Chuan's studio were crucial.

For the convenience of the players, the planets in the group stage are not too far apart, and there are direct jump points between each planet.

Except for Ji Sui's match on the Honeypot Star, the others are distributed on other planets.

As soon as the group stage draw results came out, the entire schedule was also released. The game times of other people were relatively later, so there was no rush to go to the match point star first.

This is also why two days are given after the draw to run the map.

All I can say is that StarCraft is still too big. The scattered match points also meant that they had to act separately.

Fu Heng and Lin Aotian could go to their common planet together, but Wen Renwu, who was afraid of socializing, was heartbroken when she thought about going to a new planet to compete by herself. However, their planets were two jump points away, and their competitions were very close in time, so Fu Heng didn't have time to run back and forth.

"I, I'm fine. I can do it." Wen Renwu took a deep breath and clenched his fist.

Wen Renwu was trying so hard to remain calm that Ji Sui couldn't help but pinch her face.

In fact, after entering the competition, Wen Renwu’s social phobia was not affected much.

However, having to play so many games in the group stage means that she will stay on the Match Point Star for a long time, which is indeed a big challenge for Wen Renwu, who is used to leaving all social matters to Fu Heng.

Finally, everyone decided to let Qin Yang and Tao Kan accompany Wen Renwu to Saidian Star, and everyone would be accompanied by their own mecha maintenance personnel.

Qin Yang smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, Lao Tao and I are your most loyal cheerleaders!"

Wen Renwu breathed a sigh of relief visibly.

Yan Qingxu's match point star and honeypot star were quite close, so he simply stayed with Ji Sui and waited until he had the game before going over.

The Blue Star team split up and before leaving, Ji Sui said with a smile, "Let's work hard to go to the Imperial Star for team building together."

"Go, go, go, miracle blue planet, travel around the universe!" Qin Yang and Tao Kan, as part of the atmosphere group, were the first to respond.

Lu Chuan has assigned the respective mecha maintenance personnel, and he himself stayed on the Honeypot Star.

On the one hand, he had not yet fully explored all the materials in the City That Never Sleeps. On the other hand, in so many games, it was almost impossible for the mecha to remain completely undamaged, unless it was completely crushed by strength.

Therefore, if we stay on the Honeypot Star and our mechas are damaged, we can get enough materials to repair them as soon as possible.

Hearing everyone encouraging each other, Lu Chuan also smiled and said, "The longer we fight, the more data we get, and the more helpful it will be for modifying your mecha. If you want your mecha to better suit you, come on and play a few more games."

Moreover, in previous mecha competitions, there were often examples of players modifying their mechas during the competition, and by the end of the competition, the level of the mechas would be upgraded accordingly.

Lu Chuan's words were more effective than any encouragement, and everyone was visibly excited.

After seeing everyone off, Yan Qingxu and Ji Sui returned to the spaceship.

Ji Sui’s first group match was two days later, and she and Yan Qingxu also found the game replays of their respective opponents to study.

Perhaps he learned from Lu Chuan that they were about to start the group stage, so Li Qi called her despite his busy schedule.

"A Sui, A Yan, congratulations on successfully entering the group stage." Li Qi looked a little tired, but his expression was not too nervous.

Ji Sui smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's no rush to congratulate me once I make it to the knockout round."

Yan Qingxu sat with his shoulder next to Ji Sui, and joined in the discussion after hearing what he said: "Why not do it all at once and congratulate them together in the finals."

Li Qi laughed: "You guys."

Xuanyuan Ji came up behind her and said, "I heard that you all have already got your new mechas? Damn, I didn't make it this time. You guys should help me check it out first. I will definitely not miss it next time!"

Because Zhan Yue had shown signs of a breakthrough before, the whole fish was feeling unwell, so Xuanyuan Ji could only stay on Blue Star to accompany him through this period of weakness.

But seeing how energetic Xuanyuan Ji is now, there should be nothing serious going on.
