Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 1442 The top four are announced, is there something fishy going on?

"It's over~"

"Good, good, good luck to the Luck Team!"

"Dude, you're from the Forbidden City, right? Why do you hate Wangfujing so much?"

"After losing this game, Wangfujing's record in the round-robin tournament will be completely fixed at 1-2. It feels like the end is in jeopardy..."

"Bianliang City is certain to win 3-0. If nothing unexpected happens, 2008 will also win 3-0. Zhuzifang can win 2-1 at worst. With this calculation, three of the top four spots have been taken."

"If Mingxiuyuan can defeat Gusu City in this game, they can directly secure the last spot. Otherwise, they will probably have to compete with the other 1-2 teams in terms of time..."

As the match between Bianliang City and Wangfujing ended, Fang Yun and his five teammates who were preparing to leave the stage and the Wangfujing player who was completely defeated became autistic.

The audience's attention was not on them, but on counting the points with great interest.

After Wangfujing lost this game, their overall record dropped to 1-2 and they were completely pushed to the edge of the cliff.

It would be fine if Mingxiuyuan lost next, but if they win, they can pack up and go home quickly.

Wangfujing's other defeat was given to them by Mingxiuyuan. For this reason, at this moment, probably no one at the scene hopes that Mingxiuyuan will die more than Wangfujing fans.

At the same time, the battle between the players of the other six teams on the field has entered a white-hot stage.

The showdown between Bianliang City and Wangfujing has ended, and it is easy to tell who the final winner is just from the expressions of the players from both teams.

No one was surprised at Bianliang City's victory.

As the showdown between Bianliang City and Wangfujing came to an end, even the audience in the audience realized after a quick calculation that there were only a few seats left in the top four.

The players of each major team on the field naturally know what's going on. None of them dare to hold back any more. They are like chicken blood, playing all their cards and attacking their opponents like crazy!
While the six teams on the stage were working hard to compete for the tickets to the semi-finals, Fang Yun and his companions had already returned to the lounge.

"Did you see the expressions of those people in Wangfujing just now? They are so interesting!"

Back in the lounge, everyone lay down on the sofa and chatted while watching the competition between other groups on the screen in the room.

Although it may not be nice to say this, the fact is that in the final round-robin match against Wangfujing, they did not feel any pressure at all.

Of course, it’s not to say that Wangfujing didn’t play well, they actually performed very well.

However, the gap between the two sides was too big both in hardware and tactics, and Qianchou, the unrivaled Fangcun, was able to perfectly suppress the opponent's double seals by fighting one against two.

Even though the Bianliang City had a double magic lineup with many drawbacks, they had the initiative firmly in their hands from beginning to end.

Considering that before the fight started, Wangfujing's big sister Bai Moxian ran over to show weakness, and the opponent's look of doubt about life after the game, it was a bit unbearable.

However, as the audience said, Wangfujing, which has reached 1-2, has been pushed to the edge of the cliff.

But whether they will be eliminated directly or have the opportunity to compete with other teams in terms of time depends on the results of the other three matches.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun did not continue chatting with Shouye and the others, but watched the duel between the other three groups carefully through the monitor.

What made him feel gratified was that after three consecutive round-robin matches, the 2008 team led by Abai seemed to have adapted to the rhythm of offline competitions. The most obvious feature was -

They are getting more and more aggressive!
Their opponent in this round is the Forbidden City team, which lost both of the previous two round-robin matches.

Although they lost the first two games, the Forbidden City did not choose to give up as the audience predicted.

Facing the 2008 team that crushed them in terms of performance, hardware, strength and other aspects, they put into use all they had learned throughout their lives.

The result of their doing so was that until the 10th round of the fight, the two sides were still tied.

However, although the outcome was still undecided, the situation of the Forbidden City team was already in danger.

The Forbidden City is indeed very tenacious, but this tenacity can actually play a very small role in the face of 2008.

Facing the Forbidden City's desperate fight, Abai didn't give in at all. He was a little restrained in the first half, but after entering the second half, he suddenly became unrestrained.

Finally, under the unreasonable fire suppression in 2008.

The Forbidden City was no longer able to hold on, and in front of everyone’s desperate gaze, the rich woman cleared the table with an eagle shot, and the record was completely frozen at 0-3!

They lost all three games in the offline quarterfinal round-robin tournament. Not only was this record extremely embarrassing, it also meant that they became the first team to be eliminated among the quarterfinals.

This really broke the defense of the Forbidden City fans who had come from thousands of miles away to cheer for them.

"RNM, refund the money!"

"0-3 after all the hard work, I can handle this record."

"You still have the nerve to criticize the Wangfujing Lucky Team. Even if they are on the Lucky Team, they still won by stepping on you, the Forbidden City!"

"No, guys. I really can't accept this result. It's too damn embarrassing!"

"Everyone, don't rush to criticize us. Look at it from another perspective. We, the Forbidden City, were voted into the All-Stars. It's already pretty good to have made it this far..."

The offline tournament ended with three losses, a result that was difficult for both the players and fans of the Forbidden City to accept for a while.

But this is reality, cruel and real.

All I can say is that this year's Forbidden City's strength and luck were a little lacking. Being able to enter the quarterfinals was already the limit, and there was really no chance of going any further.

While the Forbidden City fans were all upset because their team was confirmed to be the first to be eliminated, the attention of more viewers was now focused on a key battle.

That’s right, it was the battle between Mingxiu Garden and Gusu City.

Mingxiuyuan is 1-1, while Gusu City is 0-2.

Once Mingxiuyuan wins, the top four list will be locked in advance regardless of the result of the last group.

If Gusu City wins, they will compete with Mingxiuyuan and Wangfujing for the last ticket to the semi-finals by total time.

Because of this, after the match between Bianliang City and Wangfujing ended, the match between these two teams immediately became the focus of the whole audience.

Because of the hosting relationship, there were surprisingly many fans from Gusu City at the scene.

Unfortunately, although the number of fans was large, the Gusu City team was too weak and lost 0-2 at the start.

When they saw their team being beaten 0-2, the fans of Gusu City were in despair. Some of the hot-tempered ones almost couldn't help but rush to the backstage to beat up Xilang and the others.

Everyone knows what a 0-2 start means. If no miracle happens, the host Suzhou City team will already have one foot on the edge of elimination.

But as the last round of the round-robin match began, the fans of Gusu City were instantly revived, waving flags and cheering wildly, and they regarded this match as a battle of dignity!
It was ugly enough that the Forbidden City was eliminated 0-3. If the host Gusu City also lost 0-3, they couldn't imagine how "lively" the scene would be.

Fortunately, Xilang and his men seemed to realize the importance of this match. After the game started, they went crazy and directly selected an extremely offensive lineup, suppressing Mingxiuyuan led by the irritable Waipi.

In the end, after nearly 40 rounds of competition.

Gusu City, which had fought back from the brink of death, miraculously completed a counterattack and successfully defeated Mingxiuyuan. At the same time, its own team's score was completely frozen at 1-2!

"Nais! Nais!"

"Oh my god, I finally won a game."

"Xilang is mighty, he should have been beaten like this a long time ago!"

"I suddenly feel like crying..."

"After this match, our Gusu City is now 1-2. Do we have a chance to compete with Wangfujing and Mingxiuyuan for longer time?"

"That's right, but it depends on the final result of Zhu Zifang and Deyang. If Deyang loses, it will be a competition among the three of us. If he wins, it will be a competition among the four teams. I hope Deyang dies soon..."

With Gusu City successfully defeating Mingxiuyuan and achieving a score of 1-2.

All the Gusu City fans at the scene were almost going crazy with excitement, and those who didn’t know would have thought they had made it to the semi-finals.

All I can say is that when you are disappointing enough, every bit of progress you make is invaluable to those who care about you.

In sharp contrast to the Gusu City fans, the Mingxiuyuan fans were sighing one after another, with expressions full of regret.

Originally, if they could win this game against Gusu City, Mingxiuyuan would be able to directly advance to the All-Star semi-finals and completely set a new record in team history!

But who knew that Gusu City was like someone who was on drugs, and they just caught up with the angry guys and beat them up.

The result was that the entire Mingxiuyuan team was stunned and lost the game in a daze.

You are so damn fierce, what were you doing before?
However, although they felt regretful, Mingxiuyuan fans also admitted that Gusu City did play well in this game and their team’s loss was not unfair.

At the same time as the result of the duel between Mingxiu Garden and Gusu City came out, the last duel between Deyang Confucian Temple and Zhuzifang also came to an end soon.

Deyang Confucian Temple, which was booed from the beginning to the end by the audience, seemed to be greatly affected. Its performance throughout the game was seriously abnormal. In the end, it was gradually eaten away by the hot-tempered Zhu Zifang and was eliminated without much resistance.

With Deyang Confucian Temple being eliminated 0-3, most of the lists of the top eight players who advanced and were eliminated in this year's All-Star Game have been released.

"Bianliang City, 2008, and Zhuzifang all won 3-0, which means three of the top four have already been decided."

"Turtle, this year's Zhu Zi Fang is quite powerful. Can you believe that they won all three games?"

"Forget it, they were just lucky that they didn't run into the big or small king."

"Luck is also part of strength. Besides, even if they run into a big or small king once during the process, it's still 2-1, so they can still advance."

"The Forbidden City and Deyang Confucian Temple have already been eliminated 0-3. The only suspense is who will make it to the semi-finals, Wangfujing Gusu City or Mingxiu Garden."

"I think it's Gusu City. After all, we are the host, so we should have some face, right?"

"Promotion for the sake of face, do you think you are in our unit?"

"I think Mingxiuyuan has a better chance. They performed well this year..."

While the staff was busy compiling statistics for each team, the audience in the audience were whispering to each other, discussing who would take the last spot in the semi-finals.

It's really outrageous. There were eight teams, but after three rounds, not a single team was 2-1.

The strength of this year's top eight teams can be described as 'clearly divided'.

The top three teams are undefeated, while the remaining five teams are evenly matched, either losing all three games or winning one and losing two, which highlights a fight between the weak teams.

The audience outside conducted various analyses on the three teams, and the situation was similar for the players backstage.

Of course, except for the Forbidden City and Deyang Confucian Temple which have already been confirmed to be eliminated.

The players of both teams have already started packing their things. They will wait for the announcement of the top four teams, then they will do one more interview and then prepare to buy tickets to go home.

That's how competition works, when some people are successful, others will be disappointed.

Time passed slowly amid the discussions between the contestants and the audience.

Not long after, the main screen in the center of the stage suddenly lit up again.

The audience, including the contestants from the major teams backstage, instantly perked up, knowing that the final result would soon be revealed!
Soon, as the final list of the top four appeared on the screen, the entire venue exploded when the name of the last team was seen!

"No...why the hell should it be them?!"

"Turtle, where is the prophet from before? Come out quickly! Gusu City has really made it to the semi-finals!"

"What a conspiracy! What a conspiracy! The host can do whatever he wants, right?"

"Where are the organizers? Come out now! I want to see the evidence!"

"Hahahaha, someone's defense is broken! Since the organizer said that our Gusu City has entered the semi-finals, there must be a reason, okay?"

"Oh my god, it feels like a dream. I thought our Gusu City was going to be eliminated..."

Seeing the six big words "Gusu City Team" at the end of the top four list, Gusu City fans instantly took off on the spot, jumping up and down excitedly, they were so excited.

Fans of other teams started cursing and questioning the official fairness at this time. They believed that there must be something shady about Gusu City's advancement and demanded an explanation from the official.

There is no way around it. Shady dealings are rampant these days, and Suzhou City is the host of this year's All-Star Game.

Considering their poor performance in the first two rounds of the round-robin tournament, it is very strange that they have miraculously advanced to the semi-finals.

Just when the scene was in chaos, the host, A Zi, ran onto the stage in small steps and signaled everyone to calm down.

Unfortunately, the effect was not good. After all, the top four was a huge temptation for all server war teams, not to mention that they were the top four of the All-Stars.

It will be difficult for the authorities to convince the public without clear evidence.

Fortunately, the authorities seemed to have anticipated this.

Seeing that the audience was still angry, A Zi could only raise her hand and signal everyone to look at the big screen.

When the audience followed A Zi's gesture and turned their eyes to the big screen again, they found that the screen was no longer showing the list of the top four, but the detailed duration of each round-robin match of the three teams of Wangfujing, Mingxiuyuan and Gusu City.

"Fuck, the battle between Gusu City and Bianliang City actually lasted for 13 rounds?!"

"No wonder. It took 13 rounds to defeat Bianliang City, and 38 rounds to defeat Mingxiuyuan. This Gusu City has something special."

"The total time taken by the three teams in other matches is actually similar. The main difference is the length of time spent fighting the big and small kings. Gusu City has a huge advantage."

"Damn, they're lucky!"

"Are you convinced? I'm asking you guys if you're convinced. Are you still going to curse?"

"They keep complaining about the shady dealings. This is the All-Star Game. How shameless do we in Gusu City have to let the authorities give us a backdoor?"

"Alright, alright, the evidence has already been presented. There's no point in arguing any further..."

As the official displayed the detailed time of the three teams' winning and losing games, it was discovered that Gusu City had inexplicably gained a huge advantage.

No matter how much you doubt it, you have to admit at this moment that there is indeed no problem with Gusu City's promotion this time.
