King's Landing

The Second Element of King's Landing, Volume 7, Chapter 190, Strategy of War

After Ye Jian browsed all the information, Wu Wucai began to explain.

"Like the competition in our school, the content of the exchange competition is also divided into two parts, the team competition based on the academy, and the qualifying competition based on the individual."

"Wait a minute, is the team competition a college? But the number of people is different among the nine colleges?"

Ling was right.

Even if the IS Academy is here, the number of participants from the other eight schools is not the same. The United States and China have seven, the Japanese and Ninth academy have five, and the rest are 6. name.

"In fact, the list of positive candidates for each academy is fixed. IS academies have 6 members, and the remaining eight military academies have 4 members. However, the association does not clearly define the boundaries between the candidates and the substitutes, so every college has You can freely rotate between the substitutes and the main selection in the game. In this regard, our IS Academy has an absolute advantage."

"Don't forget, although the number of people is an advantage, it is also our disadvantage."

It is rare for Claudia to deny Tanwu's words. She, Kagura, and Daryl are all'predecessors' who participated in the previous exchange competition, so her words are definitely not groundless.

"How can a large number of people be a disadvantage?"

Wu Wu smiled and shook the folding fan.

"Claudia is only half right. In fact, the so-called disadvantages are relatively speaking."

"Relatively speaking?"

Yi Xia and the others showed their doubts.

"Yes, because the scoring method of the team competition is based on the average score."

"The average score?"

Divide the total score by the number of people. If all teams score in this way, there shouldn’t be much disadvantage for IS Academy, right?

"Wait a minute! Could it be that--"

"Should not?"

"That would be too unfair!"

Almost in no particular order, everyone thought of a possibility.

Calculate the average score, and it is a disadvantage for IS Academy, that possibility!

"You guessed it right. There are only six regular candidates for the team competition, but the number of players counts the substitutes."

"What!? How can this be? Then aren't we at a disadvantage?"

"Yes! There are only 5 people in the Ninth Academy, and the base is only one third of ours!"

"Don't be so impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Knocking on the table, Tanwu interrupted the newcomers' injustice.

"If that's the case, will our IS Academy still be willing to work in such an unfair place in the future?"

"That's right, but..."

"Okay, let me talk about the content of the last team competition. After I finish talking, you can evaluate it."

Knowing that Ling and the others were curious to kill the cat, Wu Wu did not keep it anymore.

"Our last team competition is divided into three parts, two 1V1, one 2V2, and one 4V4 melee. And the association does not restrict the replacement of participants, in other words, if in 1V1 and 2V2 , A player is injured, he can choose full combat power from the bench and throw into the 4V4 melee."

"Huh? Doesn't that mean we have a big advantage here?"

This kind of problem can be seen by individuals. Even the strongest captains of the two teams have suffered both losses in 1V1. If there is no substitute, the team captain will obviously be injured in the subsequent game.

But IS Academy does not have to worry about this at all.

Even if all four participating players in the first three games are injured, there is no need to worry about personnel replacement.In the last 4V4 melee, it is possible to dispatch the strongest combat power intact.

This advantage means that the American team is comparable to IS Academy, but in the same level of melee, the difference in a person's combat power is also decisive for the outcome of the game.

"In the three games of 1V1 and 2V2, each victory is 100 points, and the 4V4 melee win is 200 points. Moreover, the team competition is not a lottery system, but a round-robin system. Each of our teams must compete with the other eight. Teams play against each other once. If we win all of them, we will end up with a total of 4000 points."

Having said that, Wu Useless folding fan opened the light screen on the glass table and began to calculate.

"If the second-placed team only loses to us, their total score is 3,500 points. No matter which team wins second place with such results, our advantage will be overtaken."

As soon as the voice fell off, the hall immediately became turbulent.

"But, they can't win all the battles, right? Even if the captain of each team can ensure the victory, what about the other members?"

"This is the same on our side. I don't think we can win the whole battle."

"In the final analysis, this scoring method is too weird! In a round-robin tournament, generally only wins and losses are considered? How can we consider the number of people? Besides, why our IS Academy has so many more places than other military academies? It's reasonable!"

"And in this case, we must calculate the number of games we can lose, and we must also take into account the wins and losses of other representative teams. This is too troublesome. Our winning rate is definitely the smallest of the nine teams!"

It is only natural that there will be such controversies. After all, this outcome assessment is indeed lacking in fairness.

"Well, I think this is the real purpose of the association. It is simply a battle between the same number of people. It is too lack of technical content. The association’s examination of the school cannot be as simple as our strength, wisdom, leadership, and various qualities. It should be taken into account. If I guess correctly, all competitions are not simple matches, right?"

"Bingo! As expected of our captain, absolutely correct!"

When Tan Wushuang's eyes lit up, he immediately clapped his hands in admiration.

Even Kagura and Claudia looked at Ye Jian with complicated eyes.

"It is true. Whether it is 1V1 or 2V2, it is not just a simple battle. The association will also arrange various harsh conditions, such as ice and snow, heavy rain, volcanic eruption, and even an explosion within five minutes. Setting. So sometimes the outcome of a game is not related to personal strength."
