Chapter 236: Bracket (1/2)
”Without further ado…” Sheira raised her two fingers and said, ”Each of you will be required to fight twice because the main competition will be divided into game and brawl.
”The game will be randomly chosen by our system. I can't explain much about the game since I may end up giving you some clues about it, but I am sure you will understand it when the main competition starts.
”As for the brawl, it will be a total of three matches: 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, and 3 vs 3. This is a spontaneous choice as you don't need to submit your name before the competition. You can even challenge your opponent to fight you, but it will also depend on whether your opponent will accept it or not. To this point, I assume everyone understands my explanation, right?”
Suddenly, Cheng Sui raised his hand and asked, ”How do you determine the winner?”
”The game itself will be divided into two parts, so each game and brawl will score you one point. That's why you need to choose your order well, because one mistake may cost you and your team the entire game. whichever team gets three points first will be the winner.”
Cheng Sui nodded in understanding.
”And this is the bracket. There are four Blocks. Each block will get a winner and the semifinal will start. I'm sure it's easy to understand from the image alone.
”Also, we will determine up to 3rd place, so those who lose in the semifinal will be fighting again.”
”That's a given.” All of them nodded in agreement.
”Each battle will take one day with the first battle starting in two days, so all of you can rest your body to make sure you fight with full strength.”
Theo chuckled inwardly as he thought, 'Heh, fighting so hard just to receive a small medal. That's certainly an irony… Though, I believe if one makes an impression in the competition, they are usually scouted by other countries. It's a great first step I should establish in this place.
'Well, I can't say I have much loyalty to the country since I prioritize myself more. Whatever the case, getting a medal should be enough to repay the country for their support. Depending on the result, I may choose a different option in the future.' Theo felt a bit fired up, wanting to win.
”Then, how about we start drawing the lots?” While Theo was thinking, Sheira continued and pointed at eight names on the screen. The names began to change as it was trying to draw a random name.
The United Kingdom.
”Ah? It's us.” Zara commented and tapped Nella, who seemed to be eager to get it. Nella had been showing such enthusiasm the whole night, so she could only let her do whatever she wanted.
Seeing it was alright, Nella came to Sheira as the latter raised a wooden box with a small hole on top, allowing her to draw one paper from inside.
Nella dove in without hesitation and pulled out a paper before showing it to everyone, including Sheira.
B2
”B2, I'm sure no one has any objection, right?” Sheira asked with a smile, confirming that she wasn't cheating. With no one raising an objection, Sheira proceeded to fill their name in the top right corner.
Following her action, everyone gradually had their turn to get their own placement. The bracket was as follow:
Block A – Thersland vs Italy
Block B – China vs The United Kingdom
Block C – Japan vs India
