International Go competitions are held on time, and the venues and meeting places abroad are different from those in China.

The players have already taken their seats, and are "blocking their positions" for each round. The entire hall, viewed from above, forms a series of unique semi-open cubicles.

The first five rounds are elimination rounds, and the finalists will be decided after five rounds.

Five places per country, no more, no less.

Qing Li did a simple calculation and found that about twenty people were eliminated in each round based on their scores and overall rankings, and only five people entered the finals.

The top three will be chosen from the five.

There are about twenty countries participating in the competition, and the competition is really fierce.

However, the only real threats are the four main forces, namely, Country M, Country Y, Country F and the Little Country.

Looking at the arena with so many people, Qing Li suddenly felt a little excited.

The reason she was able to stand here was entirely to make up for Mr. Zhu's regret. For her, it was not very interesting.

But now, she planned to use all her passion against the main forces of the four countries.

It's nothing, she just has some personal prejudices against these four countries.

She was very happy to fuck them openly.

After the first round of eliminations, the head coach was delighted and relieved that none of China's five young players were eliminated!

There were three rounds of eliminations on the first day. In the third round, two people from China were eliminated, leaving Jiang Qingli, Li Yao and Bai Kai. Bai Kai was eliminated in the fourth round.

The head coach said "OK" three times in a row and clenched his hands. There were not many people left in the fifth round, and it would be very difficult to stand out from them.

However, if one person can break through the five rounds of elimination and enter the finals, China will avenge its previous defeat!

The head coach kept praying, asking both Jiang Qingli and Li Yao to perform better!

In the first four rounds, Li Yao overcame many difficulties and encountered one time when the points of the main forces of the four countries dropped. He won the rest of the time.

"The main forces of the four countries are indeed very powerful." Li Yao looked solemn.

At this point, his mood was stable, without any impetuousness, which was completely different from before.

The person who has noticed the change the most is naturally the head coach. He knows how Li Yao was before and how he is now. Every move is different.

"No matter which one of you can make it to the finals, our competition will end perfectly!" said the head coach.

As for competing for the top three, he didn't even dare to think about it.

Now it seems that Qing Li has a greater chance. After four rounds of eliminations, she ranked high and has never lost a game.

But he didn't understand her and couldn't figure out her ways, so subconsciously he still had more hope for Li Yao.

The exciting fifth round began, and the pace of the game slowed down significantly. It was no longer like the first round where the winner and loser could be decided quickly.

The results may come out in just over an hour at the shortest, or nearly three hours at the longest to determine the winner.

At this moment, the head coach's face flushed and his hands were shaking with excitement.

Not to mention him, the people of China, including the audience sitting in front of the live broadcast, were all excited. Some shouted, some hugged, and some clinked glasses.

In the final of the international competition, two Chinese players were shortlisted!

From the fifth round onwards, the score was no longer the criterion, only the victory or defeat was considered. When Li Yao won his opponent, he clenched his fist and pulled back.

He is so happy!

In his first international competition, he made it to the finals!

Li Yao did not forget the etiquette of Go. After paying his respects, he jumped happily on the spot. He couldn't even control his body.

Excited, he looked far away for that figure.

Looking around, there were only a few people left in the field, only them and another group of players.

So what happened to that old Jiang Qingli?

Li Yao was defeated by Jiang Qingli so quickly that he didn't even know how he lost, so even though he played against her, he had no idea of ​​her level.

"I don't care about that old woman, ahem, who would care about that woman."

He now had a shadow over the three words "old woman". It was like a magic spell, and when he was about to say it out loud, his face began to hurt.

Although he said that, he still felt a little nervous.

The person who beat him can't fail to make it to the finals.

Although he thought so, he knew that if Jiang Qingli's opponent was too strong, such as those people, the probability of winning would be almost zero.

Sometimes luck is also a factor in the game. For example, the person playing against him was not one of the main players from the four countries, so he took advantage of this opportunity.

If he meets any of the four countries, he will have no hope of reaching the finals.

Although he knew that Qing Li would most likely be eliminated, Li Yao felt that this international competition was a success.

There are a total of five people entering the finals now, and he can name the four strongest ones from the four countries except him.

After returning to his seat, the head coach came forward and gave him a bear hug. Li Yao smiled foolishly and hugged him back.

"You really made me proud!" The head coach couldn't help but want to kiss him twice.

Li Yao hugged the team members one by one, except Jiang Qingli.

After celebrating with everyone, Li Yao asked why she wasn't there.

The head coach looked around and said, "Hey, she was here just now. She's been back for quite some time. Where is she now?"

Been back for a long time?

Li Yao: "Who is her opponent?"

"Under Akita Oka!" Bai Kai said.

When Li Yao heard the name, he immediately smiled bitterly. No wonder he came back so soon.

Akita Okashita, the little Japanese has dominated the championship list for five consecutive years and was the world champion in the last international competition.

If you meet him, you will die.

Li Yao sighed, "We have completed our KPI this time, right?"

The head coach nodded repeatedly, "It's done, you two did a great job, and the others did a great job too. After the finals, we'll have a good meal!"

While they were talking, Qing Li still hadn't come back. Li Yao felt uneasy, "Could she be hiding and crying?"

The head coach was stunned. "Why are you crying? We are all very happy that we made it to the finals. Qing Li is also very happy."

Li Yao smiled. Indeed, although he would also be happy, it was disappointing and frustrating that he had come this far but failed to enter the finals.

Jiang Qingli is a woman. Even though she is older than himself and acts arrogant every day, she may not be stronger than himself.

"I'll go look for her." Li Yao had just taken a step when he saw Qing Li walking in from the entrance.

There was no change in his expression compared to before, but there must be a sense of loss hidden under the indifferent look.

Li Yao had a lot to say but couldn't say it. After a while, he said, "Don't be discouraged. Next time, we will go to the finals together."

Qing Li raised an eyebrow, "Why, lost?"

Li Yao was startled, "What?"

At this time, the finalists began to scroll on the big screen, and he and Jiang Qingli were on the list.

Li Yao suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He was shortlisted by chance, Jiang Qingli's opponent is Akita Okashita!

In an international competition, Akita Okashita can't just let it go!

Li Yao was stunned and stuttered, "How did you do it?"

Qing Li yawned, "How did you do that?"

She has the habit of taking a nap. If she doesn't take a nap at noon, she will start to feel sleepy in the afternoon. Neither coffee nor tea helps.

When she feels sleepy, she prefers to take a nap, even if it's only for twenty minutes.

Seeing that there were still forty minutes left in the finals, Qing Li said to the head coach, "I'm going to go to sleep first."

She really couldn't take it anymore, she had to stay in good shape for the upcoming decisive battle.

Seeing Qing Li leave the stadium, everyone fell silent.

At this time...she can still sleep!

Li Yao turned around and asked in disbelief: "Did Akita Okashita have a high fever today?"

It's not that he belittled Qing Li, but he couldn't believe the result.

Not to mention him, even the head coach and others couldn't help but smile bitterly.

They had been keeping an eye on Li Yao. After all, he was the one with the greatest hope of being shortlisted. By the time they realized what was happening, Qing Li had already returned.

You can imagine what happened when you learned the result.

The head coach and others are now itching to do it, but they can only wait for the live video replay.

Five people draw lots to compete. The one who is given a bye does not directly enter the top three, but challenges the two losers. If he wins, he will advance to the final. If he loses, the remaining two winners will compete for the championship and runner-up.

The competition for the third place is also very fierce, so no one wants to be the one who gets a bye.

Unfortunately, Qingli got a bye.

The remaining four people will draw lots for the game, and she will challenge the losers one by one.

The level of the finals was different. Li Yao played against the champion of the previous session and was defeated without any suspense, and the defeat was very quick.

Just like the game with Qing Li, he didn't even know he lost.

Li Yao returned to the audience with a wry smile, feeling indescribable.

He thought he could hold out longer.

The head coach comforted him, saying it was already pretty good.

Qing Li looked at him with a smile, "Will you surrender immediately?"

Li Yao snorted coldly, "How is that possible? The last time you beat me, maybe luck played a role."

Qing Li smiled but said nothing.

It was already evening when the other group finished, and the next competition would be tomorrow.

Although it was difficult to get third place, head coach Qing Li and Li Yao analyzed the opponents in the evening.

Although Li Yao had one more chance to compete for the third place, he was not sure. The only person who could possibly defeat him, Qing Li, was also unfathomable.

The next day, the finals continued.

It is said that the third place will be competed for, but it is not absolute. In previous competitions, there have been third place winners who turned around and became champions.

Li Yao was sharpening his sword, ready to play chess with Jiang Qingli. As he sat there, he was even more nervous than in the fifth round of eliminations.

Li Yao got the first move and made the first move.

He was very cautious in every move he made, fearing that he would fall into a trap.

The duel between two Chinese people was originally not very popular, so people could just sleep through the live broadcast.

But when Qing Li defeated Akita Okashita, many people were interested in this dark horse, so the number of people in the live broadcast room was quite considerable.

From the live broadcast, we can see that the two Chinese people are in completely different states, one is as calm as a chrysanthemum, and the other is cautious and rigorous.

This visual experience is quite interesting.

In addition to netizens, the other three people in the finals watched this game.

Kandor leaned back in his chair, looking at the screen in front of him, on which were enlarged images of two Chinese people.

Only seeded players like them are qualified to watch the game on a small screen, while the rest of the people have to crane their necks to watch the big screen.

"Dirty Chinese." Kandor spat.
