Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

"What?!
"Lin Ruixin didn't swim out again?!"

Hearing that his generation's leader had once again failed in the domestic qualifiers, Shang Chaotian's expression was inevitably distorted:

"Oh, I don't know what to say about our great chess master!
"I just led the team to win the Weiqi League finals a while ago, how come we failed again in the Sanshuang Cup qualifiers?!"

While complaining, Shang Chaotian also looked at the preliminary results that Lu Wenjie had just handed over.

The Sanshuang Cup China domestic qualifiers consist of eight rounds, and only players ranked in the top 32 in rating can participate and compete for the only seven qualifying spots.

Now that the preliminaries are over, the list of "four plus seven" players participating in the Sanshuang Cup finals has been released:
The four seeded players are: Lei Qi, Tang Guansheng, Ji Qiujuan, and Ni Jue.

The seven players who qualified through the preliminary round are: Sun Yi, Bian Lele, Cai Shuang, Kuai Liang, Li Zhaokai, Zhuang Zheng, and Xue Zhenju.

After seeing this list, Chairman Shang's already distorted expression became even uglier.

How can I describe this configuration?

It’s just… not really working.

Lin Ruixin, Dai Ran and Xiong Siyi, the top five domestic players, were all eliminated, leaving Sun Yi with his "strength and weakness identifier" style, continuing to advance steadily - unfortunately, the chess master of the time has never been able to fight tough battles.

As for the other players who qualified this time, although they were all strong, none of them had any world championships, and they lacked the highlights of the world championships. This made Shang Chaotian even more worried about the prospect of winning the championship this time.

Lu Wenjie then took over Shang Chaotian's topic about Lin Ruixin and said:
"Brother Tian, ​​you also know that Lin Ruixin's problem is not that his absolute strength has dropped too much, but that his state cannot be sustained.

"Sometimes you can feel that he can play at his peak in certain games, but more often he makes inexplicable mistakes and his skills are distorted. This state of being at times insane is naturally reflected in his extremely fluctuating performance.

“Of course, another reason is that… domestic competition is indeed too fierce.

"Even top players cannot relax at all. Once they relax a little or their form fluctuates, they may be bitten by the pursuers behind them at any time - just like Dai Gong and Xiao Xiong also failed this time.

"And if you want to maintain sufficient dominance, unless you are like Young Master Liu, whose strength and stability are obviously superior to others, it will be difficult to ensure that your results will always stand out from the crowd."

Shang Chaotian nodded his head in agreement with his deputy's statement, but he still expressed a different opinion:

“Uh… I think everyone’s concentration could be improved a bit.

"Like Rui Zhao, she is not the best among female chess players, but she maintains a very stable state and never makes inexplicable mistakes."

Lu Wenjie sighed lightly and helped to round up the situation:

"After all, the competition among top male chess players is more intense."

Shang Chaotian narrowed his eyes, but did not continue the topic. Instead, he turned his gaze back to the A4 paper in his hand and once again looked at the qualifying list:
"Hey! At first glance, it seems like they pose no threat to Young Master Liu!

"If only Xiao Lei could recover sooner... well, forget it. Some things can't be rushed!"

Seeing that Shang Chaotian, who was in a good mood just now, suddenly became worried, Lu Wenjie immediately comforted him.

"Brother Tian, ​​there's no need to be so pessimistic!
"In the past two years, we have relied on the human wave tactic to crush Young Master Liu! Have we ever felt that anyone would definitely be able to beat him before a match?
"What's more... maybe Ni Jue can bring us some surprises this time!"

"Ni Jue?"

Shang Chaotian frowned and said:

"But hasn't he never fought in non-title matches in recent years?"

"That's what I said..."

Lu Wenjie smiled and said:

“But this time the situation is a little different.

"I heard...he's been working really hard lately."

...

...

"Junior sister... has she signed a contract with the Pohu team? And has she also joined the Pohu women's team?"

On the same evening, Qiantang City, China.

Tian Yuan, a famous Chinese figure who had just received the news from his teacher over the phone, seemed a little surprised.

"Well, I guess there will be news released in the next two days."

Li Wangyuan's voice was filled with laughter:

"Well, to be honest, this girl is very determined. When we heard that she was really going to go, our eyes widened!

"But on second thought, if Rui Zhao were to say...

"Well, that's okay!"

"Then when we meet the Poyang Lake team next season... I can look forward to the showdown between senior and junior brothers!"

Ni Jue sighed a little and said, “But I have to defend my Tianyuan title first, and there’s also the Sanshuang Cup which will start soon!
"Ah, I suddenly remembered that there is also the King of Kings in May... This is also a good opportunity to test myself."

Hearing this, Li Wangyuan on the other end of the phone seemed a little worried:

"Ni Jue, have you been working too hard recently? I noticed that the time you spend using some AI software has increased a bit too much recently..."

"I remember that you weren't in very good health before, so don't tire yourself out."

In order to facilitate mutual research, the master and apprentice share the same account for the use of the cloud AI software, so Li Wangyuan can see the time his apprentice uses the software.

"Master, don't worry about this!

"We've been raising it for so long, so it shouldn't be a big deal to just fight for a year."

Ni Jue smiled at first, then said seriously:

“And… now it seems like it might not be that easy to kill Liu Shixian.

“I have recently studied his games over the past two years and also paid special attention to his play in domestic competitions.

“I feel like he has done a lot of research on layouts, and he might not be much worse than me.”

"You feel the same way!"

Li Wangyuan smiled bitterly and said:

"I was originally struggling with whether or not to tell you how I feel... I was afraid that I would dampen your confidence."

“Oh, Master.

"I'm almost thirty, and I still care about this? You should just talk about it!"

The famous Tian Yuan sighed and continued:
"Honestly, Master. In this situation, using a flying knife to deal with him may not be as easy as you think.

"Master Liu has studied various layouts very deeply, so he is not likely to make a big mistake. In addition, I have always been famous as a flying knife expert. Once he enters a relatively unfamiliar chess shape, he should be extra careful.

“Not to mention, Liu Shixian is obviously better than me in other technical aspects. When he plays with me, he has enough capital to be timid when facing a place where a knife may be used, and then slowly pull back after the layout is over. This makes it even more difficult to deal with!

"I've been thinking about it recently. To deal with him... maybe the only effective method is to use a more concealed flying knife."

"I can only use a more concealed flying knife..."

Li Wangyuan murmured and repeated:
"Wouldn't the research pressure on you be even greater?"

"It's okay, after all, there is still almost a year left."

Ni Jue answered calmly but firmly:

"However, although my ultimate goal is to end his Nongshim Cup winning streak, if I can meet him in this Samsung Cup...

"I would also like to try it out first."

...

...

"Well……

"I wonder if I can meet Ni Jue in this San Shuang Cup..."

At the same time, in an apartment in South Korea's capital.

Liu Shixian, who was reading the "exclusive information" he had just collected today, whispered after reading the list of participants in China's Sanshuang Cup.

"Since he took the initiative to exchange his seed quota to participate in the competition...

"You can't just be here for tourism, right?"

After sighing softly, Young Master Liu was about to put down his phone, but he found that his informant in China had sent him another message.

"Hmm? Anything else?
"There shouldn't be any other competitions in China recently?

"You can't just report the preliminary results of the Mulan competition to me, right?"

With a little doubt, Young Master Liu opened the message he had just received again.

Soon, his eyes slightly opened, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his expression was instantly filled with countless amusement:

"Ah? She's actually going to quit the Weiqi League?!

"That Lei Qi...

"I'm afraid there should be more sense of urgency, right?" (End of this chapter)
