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

【Brother Zeng, latest news! 】

[Xiao Shangban is going to join your Pohu team to replace Elder Du! ]

……What?!
Kouesaka is going to join our boys' team?!
3:13 pm on March th, Qiantang City, China.

Zeng Guangwen, who had just finished another sparring match with his master and was eating, saw the WeChat message Hua Ran had just sent him, and he suddenly lost the mood to gnaw bones. He quickly called.

Soon, the call was connected.

Before Hua Ran could speak, Zeng Guangwen couldn't wait to ask:
"Ran Ran, is the message you just sent on WeChat true or false?!

"April Fool's Day is still half a month away!"

"of course it's true!"

Hua Ran on the other end of the phone immediately responded:
"Manager Lai just contacted me and said that this matter has been basically finalized and we are just waiting for the final implementation!"

"Ah? Is it really settled?
"But this...isn't it appropriate?"

Zeng Xigou frowned when he heard the news. He had not paid much attention to the affairs of the Pohu team for more than half a year, but this time he expressed his opinion.

According to his thinking, with the rapid rise of the supernova Rui Zhao, the Pohu team has actually shown quite strong competitiveness in this year's playoffs. It's a pity that the little witch is not yet mature, and Elder Du's decline is somewhat unexpected.

If the team is thinking normally, they should introduce strong players in this offseason while his performance is still strong and strive for the championship!

Even though the competition for strong players in the entire league is fierce and it may be difficult to find a suitable replacement for the little witch, we should still find a way to get an eighth or ninth level master from the relegated team to replace Elder Du.

To be honest, Zeng Xigou's personality has always been indifferent to such things as grades. Now he has a lucrative position as the Queen Dog. If it weren't for the rigid requirements of strength, he would have started long ago! Logically, he shouldn't care about the changes in the team members.

But in this playoff against Tiangang team, when his team took the lead in winning the main battle and leading 3-2 in the second round, three of his teammates including himself failed to seize the huge advantage created by Rui Zhao, and lost three games in a row, and finally lost to the opponent 3-5, which was very regrettable.

After the game, seeing Rui Zhao approaching Yang Manjing, who was already red-eyed and wiping away tears, Zeng Gou, who had always been heartless, felt a little uncomfortable. He was eager to regain his place in the next league.

This... is also one of the charms of competitive sports.

Even if you don’t care much before the game, once you are really infected by it, it is difficult to completely let go of your obsession with winning or losing.

With my current state, it would be too much to think of winning a personal championship...

But if I can win a Chinese Go League championship with the queen, it would be worth my time in the go world!

With this idea in mind, Zeng Guangwen, who returned to his home in Qiantang, was extremely active in the few days after the game. He accepted all requests from his master for sparring, just to see if he could get good results in the Sanshuang Cup domestic qualifiers starting on the 24th, and then meet Old Xu in the Sanshuang Cup!

——Yes, that’s right.

Because he was promoted to the professional level many years earlier than Rui Zhao, although Zeng Guangwen's strength is indeed not as good as Rui Zhao's at the moment, his ranking in the rating points is already as high as 19th, and he is able to enter the domestic qualifiers for the Sanshuang Cup, which requires a top rating point.

But in the end, although Elder Du was replaced, the one who replaced him...

It turned out to be that “little crybaby of Queen Zhaotian”?
This made Zeng Xigou a little disappointed.

Although this Uesaka Rei is recognized as the hope of the island nation and has a promising future. She is even used as a benchmark for the new generation of Chinese "future No. 1" Nie Yunyi, who has played in the Weiqi League for one season, but the problem is...

Even Nie Yunyi himself, his relatively weak strength this season was the direct reason why the Suhu team almost fell out of the championship zone this season, not to mention it is a female version!
Now, the Pohu team wants immediate combat power, not so-called "future hope"!
However, Hua Ran on the other side seemed to understand why Zeng Guangwen was worried, and quickly explained:
"Although it will be mainly Uesaka who will come to the team to compete, this time the Japanese side will have a buy one get one free deal!"

"Hmm? Buy one get one free?"

"right!

"The Dongying Chess Institute has already made it clear to the team that as long as Uesaka can play stably in the regular season, they will allow Takuya Ichijo to join the team and compete in the playoffs!"

"……what?!"

Hearing about the outrageous operation of "bringing parents into the team", Zeng Guangwen opened his mouth wide:
“T-This is possible?!”

"Well, theoretically it shouldn't be possible..."

Hua Ran somewhat misunderstood the reason for Zeng Guangwen's surprise, and quickly explained:
"According to the competition rules of this season's Weiqi League, 'each team can only borrow one overseas player', it stands to reason that Xiao Shangsaka and Tuzi can't join the same team at the same time!

"But the Japanese Chess Institute said that if they make a strong request to the association directly, they can ask the association to change this rule to 'each team can only borrow one overseas male chess player' next season. I don't think there will be much of a problem..."

Uh……

I just think it's a bit absurd to sacrifice the best player in my country for a little Uesaka. It's not about the rules... But... After listening to this...

Even for that little crybaby, the Japanese Chess Institute was willing to risk its reputation and ask the association for help. That was even more outrageous!

Although he was shocked, Zeng Guangwen, who finally understood the situation, immediately deduced the whole picture.

For the Dongying Chess Institute, allowing its rising stars to be fully trained has always been its biggest demand.

Seeing that Nie Yunyi made it to the Chinese Weiqi League last season, it is completely understandable that he very much hopes that Shangban Li can also find an opportunity to start participating in higher-level competitions as soon as possible.

But compared to Nie Yunyi, Shang Ban Li is a foreigner and a girl. If we have to choose a team, the Pohu team, which has many acquaintances and has two female players as the main players of the Weiqi League, is the most suitable.

But the Dongying Chess Institute itself knew that if it let Uesaka Rei play in the Chinese Chess League now, it would inevitably sacrifice the team's record, so it did not hesitate to package up the country's top player who usually did not play in the Chinese Chess League in exchange for the other party's acceptance.

And I have to say, this trick is really effective...

A strong chess player like Xiao Tuzi who is among the top ten in the world is quite difficult to find in the Weiqi League where money has been growing in the past two years!

If there were more little bastards on our team in the playoffs this year, we might have already won the championship!

No wonder Manager Lai agreed so decisively!
Hearing this, Zeng Guangwen, who was originally frowning, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and then joked:

"Hey! How come there was a little girl here last year and another one this year!
"Although we can change the little rabbits in the playoffs, doesn't this regular season put pressure on us again?"

Hearing Zeng Guangwen seem to be complaining, Hua Ran on the opposite side quickly reminded:
"Uh, Brother Zeng...

"Don't let Sister Rui Zhao hear this. Pay attention to the issue of loyalty!"

"Hey, the Queen is a generous person! She won't care about these little things!

"Besides, I'm trying my best to show my loyalty!"

The Sky-Howling Dog under the Queen's seat answered humorously:

"In the regular season, we have to let Sakagami Kogami win. This record is very stressful! It seems...

"Then you'll have to rely on me, the scheduled winner of this league's [Best Win Rate Award], to hold the fort!"

...

...

“…I give up!”

March 3, Dajing City, New Century Yingkong Hotel.

The second leg of the third round of the Chinese Weiqi League playoffs, where the Suhu team is away challenging the Dajing team, is being held here.

In the game that just ended, Su Hu team's young player Nie Yunyi lost to Liang Sizhen again after losing in the first round, and was defeated by him both at home and away.

With the end of this round, although the match between Sun Yi and Lei Qi on the main stage was still going on, the result of the entire team competition was already decided: the Dajing team had won the fifth victory in the two-round match and successfully advanced to the final!
It was naturally difficult for Xiao Nie, who suffered the "key defeat" that eliminated his team, to be in a good mood at this time. However, after admitting defeat, he took a deep breath and began to review the game with his opponent.

Although Xiao Nie had some breakthroughs in this playoffs, his playoff record of one win and five losses cannot be said to be ideal.

After entering the fierce playoffs, Nie Yunyi, who had always been arrogant but had been defeated many times by high-level chess players, became more and more aware of:

What a terrifying existence Queen Zhaotian was who faced four ninth-dan masters in two rounds and won all the games with black pieces!

But... this is not a reason to back down!

I have to work harder to become stronger!

Recently, it has been widely rumored that Brother Ruixin has not publicly apologized to that female devil, and he is likely to be severely punished by the association.

But even so, Brother Ruixin had no intention of giving in!
I must also learn this backbone and spirit!

The next time I might meet her would probably be during the Tianyuan Tournament qualifiers in mid-April, right?
But it’s a pity that Rui Zhao’s current rating is not even in the top 17…

Before that, I must become stronger! Only in this way can I find a chance to defeat her!
While Nie Yunyi was preparing to review the situation, he secretly made up his mind. (End of this chapter)
