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

"Rui Zhaoming! I have a question... I'm sure there are a lot of people here who would like to ask you!
"Why are you playing as a vanguard in this Lakeside Cup? Judging from your strength, you should be the main player, right?
"Excuse me...are you going to play early in order to avenge Liu Shixian's early play in the Nongshim Cup, which eliminated the entire Chinese men's team again?"

"…Huh? No, no! That's not the case!
"Actually... I'm just in a hurry!"

"In a hurry?"

"That...that is...I wonder if you, the reporter sister, have paid attention to the Dragon Star Tournament schedule in China?
"Our domestic Dragon Star Tournament qualifiers will start on the 17th, followed immediately by the main tournament. If I play later, there will likely be a conflict.

“So I thought that as long as I could keep winning, I could finish four games early on the afternoon of the 16th! And if I could catch the flight early the next morning, I should be able to make it in time!

"The chairman didn't think of this at the time, and it was me who suggested this great idea to him! I am worthy of it!
"I was just saying that since I became a celebrity, I have paid more attention to and improved on things outside the game!"

“…Is that so?
"...But, but if that's the case, it might be very difficult for you to finish the game, right?"

"Ah? I feel like there shouldn't be any problem, right? Isn't it just winning ten games in a row? It should be pretty easy!

“After all, the level of female chess players is really not that strong... huh?

"Vice Chairman Lu, why did you touch me?

"And winked at me...winked...

"...

“…Aaaaaah!!!

"Well, that! It's indeed quite difficult!

“It would be best if we could be lucky enough to win all the way!

"But if I'm eliminated, then I'll just go back and participate in the Dragon Star Wars! Haha, hahahaha... bang!"

At 5 pm on May 5th, in a suite at Lotte Hotel in Seoul.

With a slight muffled sound coming from the TV, the evening news that was being broadcast suddenly stopped. Zheng Caixi, who had just searched for the remote control for a long time and finally pressed the power off button, couldn't help but glance at the other four team members in the room. The atmosphere among them was obviously a little solemn.

Oh my... these Chinese media are such a jerk! They never think of making trouble!
Why broadcast such a demoralizing interview in the comprehensive news?

Zheng Caixi secretly complained in her heart that she had called everyone together for a pre-match meeting, but she never expected that the evening news would broadcast news related to the niche sport of Go.

But faced with the extremely awkward atmosphere, she was a little out of temper.

At the opening ceremony of the Lakeside Cup an hour ago, the three countries also held a draw ceremony. The first two countries to take the stage tomorrow will be South Korea and China.

The vanguard of the Chinese side is naturally the only player who came, Zhaojun, a famous player in the country, while the vanguard of the South Korean side is the dark horse of this Lakeside Cup qualifier, Bian Yingxuan, first dan.

The five players of the South Korean team in this Lakeside Cup were naturally unhappy with the nonchalant attitude of China's contemporary Zhaojun at the opening ceremony today, as if she was just coming to the capital to pick up a package.

But the point is... they are totally unable to refute this attitude!

Even though they have the Ice Queen, who is recognized as the number one in women's chess today, on their side, they are facing a "monster" who simply doesn't bother to be in the women's chess world!
Although on the Chinese Internet, with many Zhao haters confusing right and wrong and confusing the public, it seems that who is the world's number one female chess player between Rui Zhao and Jin Youen is a question worth arguing about, but anyone who really has a little in-depth understanding of the Go circle knows...

Jin Youen and Rui Zhao...are not on the same level at all!
Even...it may not be just one level different!
You know, although the Ice Queen has won against Lee Jung-yeon, Seo Sang-heng, and Park Min-yeol, she is at an overwhelming disadvantage when fighting against each other. She is even at a disadvantage in recent battles against Ahn Myeong-kyo, Moon Sung-jin, Shin Chung-yun and others!
As for the above people...they were beaten up by the Queen Zhao Tian recently! Not to mention the Ice Queen who was even weaker!
Putting such an outrageous existence in the women's competition is a complete dimensionality reduction attack! I have no idea how to deal with it!
But just as Zheng Caixi was thinking about how to respond, a calm and slightly deep voice suddenly came, accompanied by two claps:

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let me just chat with you briefly."

Zheng Caixi raised her eyes and saw the Ice Queen who normally didn't like to communicate much.

At a time when someone was in urgent need of stabilizing the team's confidence, Kim Woo-eun once again demonstrated her responsibility as the top player, just as when Queen Socheon swept away seven consecutive victories in the second Lakeside Cup:
“Although we must admit that Rui Zhao is a very strong chess player, playing as a vanguard will indeed put us under great pressure.

"But... this is also an opportunity for us! Because this way she will have to accept constant tests from us and the Japanese team members, and her physical strength and energy will be consumed continuously!
“You know, even someone as strong as Xiao Liu wanted to play as a main player in the Nongshim Cup, but was persuaded by the chess academy to give up. In the end, after much negotiation, he was able to advance one position and play as a deputy player.

“Objectively speaking, if Rui Zhao had played honestly at the end this time, our hope of winning the championship would have been very slim.

"But since she is the vanguard, as long as she is eliminated, I have enough confidence to deal with the remaining Chinese and Japanese chess players!
“So… please attack Rui Zhao as much as possible!
"As long as she makes a mistake, everything will be fine."

"…Yeah! Youen is right!"

Seeing Jin Youen's encouraging words, Zheng Caixi quickly responded:

"As long as we all come together, Rui Zhao may not be able to defeat us all!"

Seeing that the two elder sisters had said this, Xu Nanying, 6th dan, and An Huilin, 8th dan, looked at each other and agreed.

Unfortunately...the words of the two older players failed to appease all of their teammates.

Byeon Young-hyun, who is only 15 years old and is participating in the Lakeside Cup for the first time through the preliminaries, has been selected by the South Korean team as the pioneer of this Lakeside Cup.

After hearing this, she couldn't help but point out a fact that made the room quiet down at an inopportune time: "But... why do I remember that the contemporary Zhaojun was famous for basically making no mistakes when dealing with attacks?
"I have seen some of Rui Zhao's fans in China recommend her. According to them, the only time Rui Zhao lost to a player who was obviously weaker than her was probably when she lost to Gao Yang, 2023nd Dan, in the National Championship Qualifiers!
"Besides, she sneaked out of the hospital before she fully recovered, so she made the mistake.

"Relying on us to attack her... I feel like it's like hitting a rock with an egg!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other three players present couldn't help but turn their eyes to their captain Jin Youen.

The Ice Queen frowned slightly, but still said calmly:
"……fine.

"When she challenged Xiao Yanagi in the Nongshim Cup last February, no one thought she could win...but she did it in the end."

The Ice Queen continued in a deep voice:
"I think... the gap between her and me now should be smaller than the gap between her and Xiao Liu in February last year. Not to mention that her physical and mental consumption will definitely be greater than Xiao Liu's at that time.

"She can achieve her 'pink miracle', I think...

"I may be able to challenge her!"

...

...

"Um...what!

“I have already stated that I will be the vanguard this time and I will ensure that she, the main general, will not be allowed to appear!

"But she still went to South Korea alone to show off her power. She didn't trust me at all!"

On May 5, at 6: am, at Yang Manjing’s home in Zhenze City, Suzhou Province.

The little witch who had just joined the women's team to watch the game online couldn't help but complain a little when she saw her own Go champion calmly walking out of the room and heading to the game room.

Yes - at the pre-match meeting at the end of April, Queen Mulan clearly opposed Rui Zhao's plan to fight alone as the vanguard this time, and vowed that if she were to be the vanguard again, she would definitely allow the current Zhaojun to finish the Dragon Star War in peace. Then...

Then he was pinned down by a sheep and a bird.

"Ah... Jingjing, didn't I say that in the last pre-match meeting?

"We can't make this guarantee!"

Liu Yuhong, the captain of the Lakeside Cup, once again stopped the outrageous remarks of the little guy in the team after the pre-match meeting:
"If Kamisaka Rei performs well now, Xiaomian and I... uh, Zou Yang can't stop her, not to mention Xiao Bingbing is here!

"and……

"You are not the youngest in the team anymore, you should be more steady!!!

"After two years, Zou Yang and I will no longer be on the team. Do you still expect Rui Zhao to be the captain?"

"Ah this..."

The little witch was speechless for a moment when she was asked.

Indeed, if we put aside the passion and talk purely rationally, the Chinese team is certainly not at the point where Rui Zhao alone can guarantee victory.

Last year, Uesaka Rei ended her six-game winning streak, and Kim Woo-eun was the ultimate boss in the women's chess world a few years ago. To say that the three of Yang, Niao and Wu will definitely be able to sweep these two out, no one with a brain would dare to say that.

At this time, Zhu Han, the rising star of the Qiannan team who was only fifteen and a half years old and entered the Lakeside Cup team for the first time on the Huaxia side, could not help but speak:
“Well…actually, whether or not we need a captain isn’t that important, right?
"Although Sister Rui Zhao is not very good at coordinating and leading a team...

"But in the women's competition, can't we just let her win?"

As soon as this soul-searching question was asked, the other three people in the microphone fell silent instantly.

……really.

To imagine a female chess player defeating the contemporary Zhaojun... seems a bit difficult right now.

"…Well, the game is about to start, let's prepare to watch the chess first!"

After a seemingly silent but emotional silence, it was the oldest Zou Yang who spoke up to break the deadlock:

"But... I think after this match, we won't see Rui Zhao appear in women's competitions anymore.

"After all, nuclear weapons...

"But it will be banned after use!" (End of this chapter)
