[“I just don’t understand. It was Rui Zhao who was afraid and took the initiative to avoid the battle. Why are there still a lot of people bragging that Rui Zhao is the best? ! 》]

[As the title says, I can’t stand the partiality in the chess forums these days. A bunch of Zhao fans use the Weiqi championship as an achievement every day to say Rui Zhao has surpassed Xiao Lei and become the best player in the world. Isn’t it ridiculous?! ]

[If you say that Rui Zhao won the final against Lei Qi head-on, I would accept it even if you say she is the best. But wasn't it Rui Zhao who took the initiative to race in the end? ]

[If Rui Zhao had any confidence in his chess skills, he would have definitely won the game on the main stage! As for being so cowardly as to avoid the battle? ]

[In my opinion, Lei Qi should be the real number one! ]

[He was present at all the main stage and won all the games in the entire Weiqi League season. He was not called the best player for this performance. Instead, he was praised for Rui Zhao who had lost three consecutive games to Lei Qi in slow chess. I really don’t understand! ]

----

[I am not the OP, I really doubt your identity?! ]

[Since when did the status of Go competitions become judged mainly by league results? Do you think this is basketball?]

[To be honest, it’s been two years since he last won the World Cup! ]

[Where in the world is there a world No. 1 player who hasn't won the World Championship for almost two years? ]

[Besides, what’s wrong with horse racing in the finals of the Weiqi League? Isn’t it all for the final championship! ]

[Just tell me whether the Pohu team won the championship in the end and whether Xiao Zhao is the "most valuable chess player"! ]

[So what? Can it change the nature of Rui Zhao's easy win? ]

[In the final analysis, the two armies were lined up, waiting for the commander to fight with real swords and guns, but one side just gave up. What would it matter if they won later by relying on the advantage of military strength and conspiracy? ]

[Most typically, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu left the stage quite early, but who is qualified to challenge him for being the strongest warrior in the world? ]

[Well, to be honest, I agree with this statement - it is difficult to prove that Rui Zhao is stronger than Lei Qi just by winning the team competition.]

[Take another example: Although many basketball fans like to mock James for being almost powerless against the Warriors in 17 and 18, it must be admitted that James was still the No. player in the league in those two years.]

[This time, Lei Qi led the Dajing team to the first place in the regular season by winning all the regular season games as the main player. In the playoffs, he did not lose a single game but unfortunately won the runner-up. It is completely comparable to the 18th James who dragged a bunch of scraps into the finals. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a "Thanos"! ]

[On the contrary, Rui Zhao's initiative to race horses gave people a very negative impression - this is indeed true that if one has a little confidence in himself, he would not act like he has no confidence in himself at all. ]

[Just like a certain old 1.5, so what if he won two FMVPs? How can a championship won by cheating and taking advantage of others be respected? ! ]

【? ? ? 】

[Hehe, the above guy is just trying to make a comparison just to watch some basketball, right? He even brought out LeBron James? ]

[Indeed, 18 James is really awesome. As a veteran James hater, I admit it! Lei Qi's undefeated season performance does look like "Thanos James". ]

[But look at the last game, Lei Qi played with white and followed Shang Banli to the end, but he only won by one and a half points. What does that mean? Is this how LeBron James played in 18?! ]

[This is exactly the famous "11-point release of military power" in 8! ]

[If we really want to admit that Xiao Lei is the best in the world, then we have to shout to Xiao Shangban that "Toyo Go Academy is a mountain"! ]

[That’s right! The opportunistic champions are here! ]

[Anyone who has watched chess knows the live broadcast of the second round of the finals, and how much psychological pressure Xiao Zhao's "killing Jundu with warm wine" brought to the opponent. 】

[Um... I suggest not to mention sensitive words like "Toyo Chess Academy Mountain". ]

[According to inside information revealed by the Little Witch fan club, for some reason, after the finals, Yang Manjing and Shang Banli had a fierce height duel. ]

[As a result, our queen Mulan lost miserably to the Japanese rising star Kou Shangban by a huge difference of 1.5cm, and she couldn't even eat at the celebration banquet that night! ]

[If this compares Uesaka Rei to "a mountain" again, I'm afraid the little witch will be overwhelmed once again! ]

……

"Ah, this, this, this..."

At six o'clock in the evening on March 3th, in Dajing City, in the chairman's office of the Chinese Go Association.

After reading the latest post on the chess forum that Shang Chaotian casually forwarded to him, Lu Wenjie, who had something to report to his chairman, had a slightly distorted expression: "It's been almost ten days since the end of the Weiqi League, why are the two sides still arguing?!"

"Have no idea!"

Shang Chaotian raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a helpless expression and said:

"With two people competing for the title of the best in the world, there is really room for competition for the Pohu Horse Racing title!
"Even in our country, this is still considered good! You may not have paid attention to the San Shuang Cup qualifiers recently, but the comments from the left and right factions on the Internet are really fierce! They are eager to criticize each other to the point of depression and quit the Internet!"

"Uh...really?"

Lu Wenjie smiled bitterly upon hearing this:

"I never thought Rui Zhao would receive this much attention..."

"That's the situation!"

Shang Chaotian sighed and said:

"I've said it before: The Asian Games arbitration has completely touched the sensitive points of both the left and right factions in Europe and America! So once the news came out, the left wing promoted it widely, and the right wing also questioned it with all its might, putting a lot of chips on the table from the beginning.

"Originally, if Rui Zhao was just a flash in the pan, this wave of popularity would probably fade away soon. However, Rui Zhao's performance became more and more eye-catching, which directly led to the intensified debate between the two factions! Both of them were looking for problems with the other side with a magnifying glass!

“So, in a few days, you will lead the team to South Korea to participate in the Samshuang Cup. It is almost foreseeable that you will be the center of attention again!
"Please take care to control your team members and don't let them cause any trouble..."

At this point, Lu Wenjie finally understood why his boss suddenly sent him a screenshot of the forum.

It is estimated that this is mainly to allow him to further understand the intensity of public opinion and prepare for leading the team to South Korea to participate in the upcoming Samshuang Cup.

However, upon hearing this, Lu Wenjie shook his head helplessly and said:
"Ah, then I'm afraid... there is really something to worry about!
"This is the list of participants for the Sanshuang Cup that just came out."

"Ok?"

Shang Chaotian frowned slightly, took the document from Lu Wenjie with some confusion, and quickly read it:
[The last four finalists: Sun Yi, Lei Qi, Peng Wendong]

There is nothing strange about this: the Sanshuang Cup has always invited chess players who reached the semi-finals of the previous session to directly advance to this tournament, and in the 2026 Sanshuang Cup, except for the champion Liu Shixian, the other three of the semi-finalists are from China, so China has three places here.

[International competition points exchange for seeding quota, 2 people: Rui Zhao, Chu Jun]

There is no problem with this: there are only two seeded places allocated to China in the Sanshuang Cup recently. Rui Zhao has been extremely strong in both domestic and international competitions recently. With two consecutive World Championship titles, she naturally has more points than she can spend in international competitions.

Recently, with the "two saints" in China, except for Chu Jun who entered the semi-finals of the LIG Cup, no one in China had enough points to redeem the second seed. Under this circumstance, Chu Jiudan successfully exempted himself from the selection by relying on the minimum score of 90 international competition points.

[7 people qualified for the domestic trials: Xiong Siyi, Ji Qiujuan, Shangguan Sheng, Li Zhaokai, Zeng Guangwen, Zhuang Zheng, Lin Ruixin]

“…Huh?

"Lin Ruixin?!"

When he saw the last name, the chairman of the chess association, who had only slightly frowned, suddenly showed a look of surprise:
“Hasn’t he made it out of the domestic qualifiers for the South Korean World Championships in a while?

"Why did you qualify this time?!"

...

...

“…I’m so angry! I’m so angry! I’m so angry! I’m so angry!

"I actually lost in the last round to Lin Ruixin, who has been out of fashion for who knows how many years. It's such a shame!!!"

At the same time, in a corner of the Huaxia Chess Academy in Dajing City, Queen Mulan, who had just finished the last round of the Sanshuang Cup preliminaries, was a little hysterical:

“Aaaaaaaaaah!!!
“I only need this one match to go to Sanshuang Training Institute!

"I lost to that dwarf by 1.5 points in height, and lost to that big mouth Lin by half a centimeter in chess! Why am I so unlucky recently!!!"

"……Eh?"

Hearing this, Chu Jun, who was originally planning to comfort his girlfriend, was stunned on the spot. He didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment, and even subconsciously checked whether he had made any mistakes... (End of this chapter)
