Fight Against Ravonia!
At the same time,
Mike Breen pointed to the large screen and said loudly, "The lottery results are in!"
"Our first opponent is Team Ravonia!"
Immediately, dense bullet screens filled the entire live broadcast room, and the excitement reached a peak.
"Avalon defeating Ravonia, isn't that like a father defeating his son?"
"The overall strength of Ravonia is probably second-rate. It looks like we're going to crush them."
"Don't underestimate any opponent; these countries have some tricks up their sleeves and have achieved good results."
"It's enough to play steadily and warm up first against Team Ravonia."
After the lottery ceremony, all the events for the day came to an end. The audience left in an orderly fashion, and players from around the world also returned to the players' village.
The actual match will start on time tomorrow morning.
In the tactical meeting room of Team Avalon,
"You shouldn't be unfamiliar with Team Ravonia. I've already told you the specific player information," Julian said slowly.
"Although there's a gap between Team Ravonia and us, the game is changing rapidly, and you can never predict what will happen in the next second."
Julian paused for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "In the last exchange match, Team Latveria faced Team Ravenhot, and their type was severely restricted. If the captain of Latveria hadn't changed strategies at the end, they would have truly been overturned."
Hearing this, Bruce nodded in agreement.
If you underestimate your rival and don't prepare fully for the match, it's highly likely that the tables will turn, and such things have never been uncommon.
"Next, let me tell you in detail about the respective lineups of the Ravonian players, as well as the Pokemon that can be sent out and the order of appearance," Julian said gently.
"Their captain should participate in team battles, right?" Bruce looked at the profile of the captain of Team Ravonia and suddenly asked.
"Probably," Julian reflected for a moment, then nodded.
Every team places great importance on team battles, and they are bound to send out the strongest players.
Of course, that's not necessarily the case.
It's also possible to put the strongest players in the ring battle, striving to take on many with one.
"Hmmm…" After hearing Julian's response, Bruce nodded slightly, looking at the information about the captain of Team Ravonia, lost in thought.
At this moment, in the tactical conference room of Team Ravonia,
All members of Team Ravonia were having a very serious meeting.
The lottery draw for Ravonia was very unfortunate. They encountered Avalon in the first round, which was the worst situation.
If they had faced Elderwood or Dawnshire, there would have been a chance to win.
But against Avalon, the hope of winning was slim.
This marked... They were very likely to face the threat of a one-day match in the exchange competition and return home in despair under the boos of countless people.
"According to the data, Bruce Bayne and Liam Smith from Team Avalon are the champion and runner-up of the university league, respectively, and they are the two strongest members of Team Avalon,"
the leader of Team Ravonia, Coach Michael Bell, said to the players with a serious expression.
Everyone fell silent for a moment. When they saw the lottery results, they already realized the difficulty of this competition.
At first, it was a hell-level difficulty.
It's very hard to overcome the mountain that is Team Avalon, and it's almost impossible.
"However, due to the month-long postponement of the game, the strength of each player should have changed, and it cannot be guaranteed to be completely accurate," Michael continued.
Henry Mitchell, the captain of Team Ravonia, nodded first and then said, "But there won't be significant changes."
"Bruce Bayne, Liam Smith, Luka Modric, and Eliza Warren are the four strongest members of Team Avalon, and the strength of the other four players is somewhat weaker."
"The candidates for the team battle should be selected from these four races."
"Understood." Hearing these words, Michael nodded seriously, which was exactly what he had imagined.
"There's still half a day left; let's hurry up and study their battle videos, and then establish a good order of appearance." Michael looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice.
Immediately, he spoke a little more, his eyes suggesting, and he said loudly: "Masters, I know this competition will be extremely difficult, and our chances of winning are very slim."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, then blushed and said enthusiastically, "But there are countless Ravonians behind us, and they are watching us!"
"For them, for Ravonia, we will do our best this time!"
On January 29, the first day of the International Youth Exchange Competition officially began.
There are a total of eight games in the first round, expected to be completed within two days, one in the morning, two in the afternoon, and one in the evening.
Staples Center,
With beautiful fireworks blooming in the air, the national flags of 16 countries fluttered in the wind, and the venue was filled with cheers and excitement.
Staples Center has a total capacity of 50,000 spectators. At this moment, there are no empty seats and it is overcrowded. Among them are not only the local population of Granville but also spectators who came to cheer for their respective countries.
There are thousands of people in the Avalon auditorium, all dressed in red, looking around, seeing nothing but a sea of red Avalon.
If it weren't for the relatively remote location of Staples Center and the purchase restrictions, it is estimated that even more Avalonians would have come here.
Some Avalon spectators waved bright red national flags, and the cheers for Avalon players were deafening, frequently attracting the attention of the cameras.
The main communication reporters who arrived in Hearthstone were already prepared, and the live broadcast room started on time.
It's just that the match between Team Avalon and Team Ravonia is tonight, so the popularity of the live broadcast room isn't particularly high.
However, to truly understand the strength of other countries, players from around the world still arrived at the players' seats and closely observed the battlefield.
The two sides in the first game were Camelot and Sunset.
Needless to say, the overall strength of Camelot has ranked among the top three in the world for the entire year, and it has a decisive influence in the world.
Additionally, Camelot has a strong national style and is at the forefront in various international competitions. The competition with Latveria and Avalon is very fierce.
Sunset can hardly be considered a major country in the region, but its title is very tenuous. After all, the entire Sunset continent is just one country.
In all comparisons, Sunset is very inferior to Camelot.
The first to begin is the team battle. Team Camelot sent their strongest player to directly defeat their rival.
As Julian said, it wasn't a completely one-sided situation. There were some twists and turns in the match, and the players of Team Camelot also encountered some issues.
But these twists, turns, and problems were insignificant to them, and they still defeated their rival decisively.
The same was true for Game 2, with the players of Camelot defeating their rival three to one, by a significant margin.
In this way, Camelot scored a total of 4 points.
"The gap between the major powers and regional powers is quite obvious." Luka sighed loudly.
"It's inevitable." Liam nodded.
"It's just that so far, there hasn't been a gym-level Pokemon on the field…" Eliza's eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered.
"The gym-level Pokemon must be hidden and released at critical moments," Bruce said.
The gym-level Pokemon should be the ace of each team, and it's difficult to appear at this stage.
During everyone's discussion, the ring battle began.
The ring battle is a relatively new competition system for everyone. Each person sends out a Pokemon to defend the ring. The victory or defeat of all is very critical and affects the entire team.
In the end, the six players from Team Camelot relied on their hard power advantages to defeat Team Sunset with a significant margin of 6:2, and they were the first to advance to the next round!
"Team Camelot is as strong as ever, very dominant." Maxwell looked at the sturdy figures of Team Camelot and sighed loudly.
"That's for sure, and their own strength is also very good. Fighting Pokemon bare-handed is common," Asher looked closely at the players of Team Camelot, his eyes burning.
After the first game, all the spectators dined in the large cafeteria nearby before returning to the stadium.
The two games of the afternoon gradually began.
In the second game, Sylphoria defeated their rival and successfully advanced to the next round.
In Game 3, Team Latveria defeated their rival, of the same class.
Night gradually fell, and the cold moonlight sprinkled down on the land.
The match between Team Avalon and Team Ravonia was about to begin.
At the same time, countless people in Avalon stood in front of their televisions, computers, and mobile phones, anxiously awaiting the debut of Team Avalon.
"Hello, audience friends, I am Martin Tyler, the commentator for this competition, and I will explain the upcoming match for you!"
Martin Tyler, senior commentator for ESPN, is also the resident commentator for the Avalon Conference.
"There are still five minutes left until the exchange match between our Team Avalon and Team Ravonia. This is our country's first match, and it is of great importance to us.
"Win this game and we will advance to the next round!"
"What is happening at this point is a handshake ceremony."
Under the watchful eyes of audiences from dozens of countries, the members of Team Avalon
and Team Ravonia shook hands one by one. In front of Bruce stood a slightly thin yet capable young man. He stared directly at Bruce and shot him a sharp look.
Bruce smiled faintly and ignored this person. After the handshake ceremony, he followed the other players back to the players' seats outside the field.
"One last reminder, the first battle is very important; don't be careless, we need to show momentum!" Julian whispered.
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.
And if you want to show momentum, the first battle of the team battle naturally has to send the strongest players to directly crush the rival and win.
This responsibility naturally fell on Bruce.
