Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"The preliminary round will be held on Friday night. It will be a two-on-two match, best-of-three format. There will be eight teams in total. The four winning teams will be able to compete directly and get a spot in the preliminary round next week."

"The four defeated teams will not just go home with their bags, but will have another chance to play in a revival match to compete for the only two places in the preliminary round."

"It looks like we only need to compete with two teams at most, but..." Xie Meng paused here, seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to him, and then continued, "The duel list needs to be drawn by the program crew one hour before the game."

"That means we can only know our real opponent one hour before the game?" Huihui spoke first.

"According to the program team's schedule, that's indeed the case." Qin Xiayue flipped through the schedule for this week on the table.

"So, this means that our opponent could be any one of these seven teams?" Lin Xi also came to his senses.

"Yes." Xie Meng nodded. "For an e-sports team, knowing the opponent's information in advance is of great significance in terms of tactical preparation, player mentality adjustment, and team training arrangements. Therefore, in the KPL arena, the opponent's information is generally announced several days in advance."

"The longer the time, the more advantageous it is for us to study our opponent's tactics, commonly used heroes and BP strategies, so as to increase the probability of winning." When it comes to his own professional field, Xie Meng changed the initial impression of being taciturn and spoke to them confidently and calmly.

"Then according to what Brother Xie Meng said, we will only know who our opponent is an hour in advance, which means we won't have enough time to study the opponent." Qin Xiayue pointed out the key point.

"So, this preliminary round not only requires us to understand our own players, but also requires us to understand the players of other teams." Xie Meng nodded.

"I do have some understanding of several regular players from other teams, such as Qianxun from BG, Yongjie from ACE, and Cao Buyu from ETER. These players have all been thoroughly studied by Lao Bai."

"There are also Jiuwei from Hengjing and Cangmang from STAR. Although we haven't officially played against them on the field, the club has had training matches with them before, so we have some understanding of their hero pools and playing styles."

"But this is not a KPL competition after all. In the past, coaches analyzed the database based on the overall situation of each team. But this time, each club only sent one official player and two youth players. The official players are still okay, but the youth players' data is very little, not to mention that we also have to consider the situation of the star players and amateur players..."

Having said that, Xie Meng's voice gradually lowered. Lin Xi blinked and understood what he meant. Apart from the official players of a few major clubs, they knew too little about the other members of each team.

However, the team chosen as the opponent is random. If they don't ban the opponent's strong heroes in the BP phase because they know too little about the opponent, and the opponent's lineup happens to restrain theirs, then they are likely to lose the game.

"But this should be okay. We don't know other teams, and other teams probably don't know us either." Qin Xiayue was a little puzzled.

"That's true in theory, but except for you and me in our team, the gaming levels of the other three should have been exposed by others." Lin Xi patted Qin Xiayue's shoulder, with some helplessness in her tone.

After all, she asked Xiao Hu to find someone to clear Li Xu's grievances and reverse public opinion. In addition to the fact that Li Xu himself was innocent, the bigger reason was that the marketing of her "beautiful, strong and miserable" character was very successful.

Therefore, in addition to videos showing Li Xu's appearance, the most viewed videos are still his game scenes in various large and small competitions, coupled with various analyses and comments from bloggers who want to follow the trend and get a piece of the pie. Li Xu's previous hero pool, playing style, etc. have almost been exposed.

In addition, he has retired for five years and re-joined KEE as a youth training team member, and he is also going to participate in such a popular e-sports variety show. When the final list came out, KEE team leader Xie Meng and Huihui, who is also a youth training team member like Li Xu, naturally could not escape the fate of being exposed.

Therefore, except for the amateur player Qin Xiayue who has attracted no attention and Lin Xi who has hidden his true gaming level very well, the databases of the other three players in their team are basically an open secret.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but look at Li Xu, who had remained silent since the beginning of the discussion, and calmly cast her gaze on his right wrist which was placed on the table.

Li Xu, who was listening to the discussion with his head down, seemed to sense something. He raised his eyes with some confusion, but met Lin Xi's gaze which she had not yet retracted. When he saw the heartache in those eyes that had not yet faded, he couldn't help but be stunned. He followed her gaze to his wrist, then pursed his lips slightly and put his hand under the table.

"That's true." After hearing what Lin Xi said, Qin Xiayue nodded in agreement, and then said with some worry, "Then it's like we are in the light, while other teams are in the dark. They know us, but we know nothing about them. It's really disadvantageous to us."

"The program team didn't provide us with a database, so what should we do? How about I go and ask around?" Huihui suggested with a frown.

"You're daydreaming. Their hero pools and tactics are definitely hidden. How could they possibly tell you?" Qin Xiayue rolled her eyes at him and disagreed.

"Then what do you say we should do? Or, Brother Xie Meng, why don't you ask Coach Bai?" Hui Hui also knew that what Qin Xiayue said was true. He pursed his lips and looked at Xie Meng again, rolling his eyes and said, "The program team didn't say that we can't invite outside help, right?"

"The program team did not prohibit hiring foreign aid, but even if we ask Lao Bai, not to mention that he has been attending a forum in Southeast Asia in the past week, even if he was in China, it would be impossible for him to find out the game information of so many youth players and amateurs in a short period of time." Xie Meng shook his head.

"Then what should we do? If it really doesn't work, then we don't have to think so much and just do it. At worst, we can practice a few more systems. This way, even if the opponent knows our hero pool and there are only three ban positions, they won't be able to ban all of them." Huihui scratched his head in annoyance.

"give it to me."

Just when they were worried, Li Xu, who had been silent, finally spoke. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he lowered his eyelids and said, "Leave the task of collecting their database to me."
