Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Lack of Strength
But those who draw first have more choices.
For the last person, there is not much choice, and they must leave it to fate.
“In the previous competition, because none of the ten contestants from Changping Academy participated, Cindy Clarke is ranked first,” Wesley Gordon said, “Cindy Clarke, please come and draw.”
Cindy Clarke went forward, put her hand into the box, and without thinking, she randomly took out a ball.
It was very fast.
Anyway, Cindy thought that drawing lots was about luck in the end.
It’s not like she could choose for a while, and by picking and choosing, she could find a suitable opponent.
If she really picked one, it would still just be luck.
Cindy got it and looked at the number on the ball herself, saying, “I got number 6.”
It’s an auspicious number, sounding very smooth and particularly lucky.
Then, Cindy confirmed it with the judges.
Finally, she showed the number on the ball to the camera for a close-up, so the audience could see it clearly.
After that, it went in order: Larry Bennett, Natalie Campbell, Joseph Tanner, and so on, each drew a number.
After the first 15 people draw their numbers, the remaining 15 people come to draw, which is when they determine their opponents.
So actually, the unfairness and bad luck Joseph Tanner was worried about doesn’t exist.
Excluding the ten people from Pingla Academy, the 15 people who drew numbers earlier, and the remaining five, the bottom five people in rankings are left.
Regardless of what number they draw, they will all be facing those who are ranked higher than them, at least in the middle ranks.
Although the ten contestants from Pingla Academy drew last, their odds of getting a middle-ranking opponent are slightly higher.
In that case, this competition would eliminate the players at the bottom of the ranks and those in the middle ranks.
As for the top 15 players, excluding the 10 from Pingla Academy, there are only five left.
According to the previous competition’s rankings, they are Cindy Clarke in the first place, Larry Bennett in second, Natalie Campbell in third, Joseph Tanner in fourth, and Preston Bell in fifth.
For these five, they would have to be extremely unlucky to draw one of the ten contestants from Pingla Academy.
It’s not like all five of them would draw one, right?
If one or two people draw a Pingla Academy contestant, that would already be a high probability.
And, even if they do, they might not face someone from Pingla Academy who’s ranked high.
If they face someone ranked eighth to tenth, they still have a fighting chance.
Moreover, even if they are unlucky and face someone from the top five in Pingla Academy.
If they really lose, they wouldn’t feel wronged because they ranked at the bottom of the top 15 contestants.
After all, they would eventually be eliminated.
For the remaining contestants, some may have good luck and advance, but the actual difference in skill level between them is not significant.
Moreover, if strength is not up to par, it will not be enough to support the upcoming competitions.
Therefore, upon closer reflection, the organising side has already considered this method of drawing.
It’s just that when it comes to individual contestants’ success or failure, they tend to think more about it.
No one wants to be eliminated.
Daniella Harrison, who was ranked 26th, prayed in her heart that she would not draw someone with a higher ranking.
At least she wouldn’t draw a contestant from Pingla Academy, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
“I got number 15,” Daniella said, and her opponent was Larry Bennett, who also drew number 15.
