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

Chapter 989: Big news!

"Hey, Lei Qi, you mean...

"Aren't you going home first?"

Fifteen minutes later, in the lounge of the Chinese delegation.

After hearing Lei Qi's words that he wanted to stay and serve as a sparring partner for the finals, Rui Zhao, who came to comfort him, couldn't help but ask:
"But, but, New Year's Eve is only a week away!
"On weekdays, we are busy traveling all over the world to participate in competitions. It's almost the New Year. Won't Mr. Lei and his wife urge you to go back earlier?"

"It's okay. I just called my parents and they all understand me."

Lei Qi answered truthfully - although he didn't know that although his parents both expressed support, their inner motivations for support were different.

"...I promised you that I would come to the finals to see you, but I broke my promise. You should give me a chance to make it up to you, right?"

"No need to pour it!"

Rui Zhao hurriedly tried to be polite, but before she could continue to refuse, Shang Chaotian beside her had already made a decision for her:

"Okay Rui Zhao, just let Lei Qi accompany you!

"I'm afraid Zeng Guangwen can't keep up with your sparring and reviewing rhythm now, right?"

When facing such a strong opponent like Liu Shixian, we should play to China's advantage in depth - this is the view that Chinese Go has always adhered to.

"Well... that's true..."

Hearing this, Rui Zhao nodded, and at the same time complained a little:
"But...Brother Zeng is really something!

"I've hinted to him many times that his progress has been slow recently and he should consider increasing the amount of chess practice to at least 15 hours a day! But he pretended not to hear me!

"When Sister An An comes over tomorrow, I will definitely ask her how she usually controls Brother Zeng..."

"Uh uh, this, this is not necessary!

"Hasn't Lei Qi taken the initiative to agree to be your sparring partner? Haha!"

Hearing the shocking words of their own celebrity Zhaojun, the chairman of the chess association, who was afraid of forcing someone to die, quickly stopped the farmer's behavior and quickly changed the subject:

“Indeed…

"Did Xiao Ai talk to you about the plans after the World's Strongest Chess Player Tournament?"

"What are your plans after this?"

Rui Zhao felt a little strange when he heard this:
“After the finals, it was almost New Year’s Eve.

"Of course I'm going home to celebrate the New Year!"

Ah...Xiao Ai hasn't communicated this with her yet!
Seeing that Rui Zhao looked completely clueless, Shang Chaotian quickly stopped talking.

But also...

Although publicity is important, Xiao Ai has always believed that for athletes, excellent results themselves are the best publicity.

Talking to Rui Zhao at this time would do no good except distracting her attention.

The matter of appearing on the Spring Festival Gala...

It’s better to wait until the final is over!

...

...

"After eight days and seven round-robin matches, the first Go tournament in Go history - the World's Strongest Go Player Tournament - is about to reach its final climax!

"When the chessboard turns into a Shura battlefield, the two strongest winners will jointly ignite the fire of destiny!
"Fifteen-time world champion! Seventeen consecutive wins in the Nongshim Cup and five finals..." The strongest chess player in South Korea forever, Liu Shixian, 9th dan!
"The only female unlimited world champion in history! Winner of nine consecutive Nongshim Cups and three gold medals in the Asian Games...

"The peerless female ruler nurtured by the thousand-year-old Chinese chess tradition, Rui Zhao, ninth dan!
"On one side is a technical level as perfect as a hexagon! On the other side is a super power that can directly break through the limits of graphic expression!

"The ultimate showdown of skill and strength! [World's No. 1] versus [The God of Killing]!
"Will it be South Korea's king who defends supreme glory, or will China's rising star crush the many doubts?

“Three rounds of fighting, each round is a hand-to-hand fight where you cannot give in!
"The throne of the world's strongest chess player - only one person can rule the world!

“1月30日、2月1日、2月3日！
"The first World's Strongest Chess Player Tournament Finals! A three-game match of fate to decide the winner!

"stay tuned!"

……

Uh……

The promotional videos made by these South Koreans are still full of middle school feeling...

But it is really quite impressive...

On the morning of January 1, Jiangdong International Airport, Dongjiang City.

In the terminal hall, after watching the promotional video of the three-game final of the strongest chess player competition, which had just been released and had 5 million views on YouTube within two hours, Boss Ai, who was about to go to South Korea to meet his main pillar, could not help but complain in his heart.

The first Zhao Miao Cup Winter Tournament just ended the day before yesterday. Ai Jianan, who was supposed to be in charge of the overall situation, was delayed in Gezhou by this matter, so he could not accompany his main player to the expedition to South Korea.

However, this does not mean that this battle between the strongest chess players is not important.

On the contrary, after Rui Zhao achieved an impressive record of defeating the top two players in the world and qualifying with all wins in the round-robin tournament, the three-game final of the world's strongest chess players, known as the "No. 1 chess battle in history", has received more attention than the LIG Cup final!

The extremely high number of views of the promotional video released by South Korea at the moment makes this very clear!
If the LIG Cup won by Rui Zhao before could be criticized by anti-Zhao factions at home and abroad because of the strength of the opponent, then the fact that Athena remained undefeated in rapid chess after the round-robin tournament and qualified as the top player suddenly silenced the conservative media and the public!
There is no way, Rui Zhao’s undefeated qualification for this tournament is of too much value!

In terms of the quality of the event, the unprecedented 800 million South Korean won prize money for the champion is enough to prove the quality of the "first chess tournament in history."

In terms of the level of the contestants, the World's Strongest Chess Player Tournament selects the best chess players from three countries and four places through the annual total prize money. Except for Ko Uesaka who holds a wild card, each of them represents the undisputed strongest level in the region!
In terms of the competition system, all opponents must be played in a round-robin tournament, which completely eliminates the factor of luck. No one can say that the contemporary Zhaojun took advantage of the luck of the draw.

In terms of time, this is the system chosen by South Korea itself that is most suitable for its own chess players, and Rui Zhao cannot be blamed in any way.

In such a situation, Queen Zhaotian had some ups and downs in her winning rate when she was leading the two countries, but she finally won. In the other five games, she controlled the game smoothly and did not give her opponent any chance!

Such a record naturally drives supporters crazy and silences opponents!
By this time, liberal and neutral media from all over the world had already smelled big news and flocked to South Korea with their teams to get first-hand reports.

On the other hand, the conservatives seemed to be a little stubborn at this time, saying things like "It was just Liu Shixian's mistake in the first round of the round-robin match, he was almost beaten to a draw before that." But in fact, many people have quietly found some ways out for themselves, and started to say things like "The weird extra-second system is not a world championship at all" to try to reduce the gold content of the event!

If Rui Zhao really wins the championship of this "first chess battle in history", the sensation and impact it will cause is beyond imagination!

However, Miss Ai naturally knew that she couldn't open champagne at halftime.

Although Rui Zhao had the upper hand in the round-robin match against Liu Shixian, both sides will be back to the same starting line after entering the final.

Rui Zhao herself said that in the first round of the round-robin tournament, she was just lucky enough to catch a blind spot of Liu Shixian. If she really faced him head-on, the result would be unknown.

That is why Boss Ai needs to go there in person to help adjust the publicity and public relations strategy at any time.

But as he was about to go to South Korea to witness the three-game final, Ai Jianan couldn't help but feel excited.

She never imagined that the white-collar girl anchor whom she occasionally saw more than three years ago would have the power to move world public opinion!

Ah, Xiao Zhao meow...

Now that the atmosphere is so heated, why don't we be a little bolder? Give me more room to play?
Miss Ai wished secretly in her heart.

Since we are going to make big news... let's make it bigger and more thorough!
Don't just aim for the championship!
Why not win two games and shut out the best player in the world!!!
