In the past few days, the registration for the 2024 "Battle of Kings" fishing competition has ended, and the Happy Fishing Channel has begun to build momentum.
For fishing enthusiasts, the event is still full of suspense.
The 2024 "Battle of Kings" kicked off, and the competition conditions were demanding
According to the "Happy Fishing" channel, the registration for the 2024 "Battle of Kings" fishing competition has ended, and this high-profile event has suffered a "withdrawal" storm in 2023, which once became a hot topic among anglers, and the reputation of "Battle of Kings" has also been impacted.
In the new year, the "Battle of Kings" is back. The threshold for this fishing competition is relatively high, and as can be seen from the following entry conditions, ordinary anglers have been locked out.
First of all, it is necessary to register as a unit, that is, individual players are not eligible to participate. Of course, individual players can choose to join the corporate team to compete.
Secondly, each participating team must have a "well-known" angler with at least one of the titles of Fishing King, FTT Competitive King, Grand Fishing Master, and CCF Annual Champion. Anglers with such titles, although not uncommon, are rare.
Therefore, if individual players want to stand out in such a high-level event, they can only "hug their thighs", and for 99% of unknown anglers, it is estimated that they can only watch.
Liu Zhiqiang will bring fans to participate in the competition, and Deng Gang, who has a high voice, will not be able to participate in the competition
In the editor's opinion, the reason why the "Battle of Kings" has set such a high threshold is that this event is, to put it bluntly, a competition based on "commercial promotion", and it is difficult for ordinary anglers to integrate into such a circle if they do not have a certain reputation. Although their fishing skills are not necessarily worse than those of the participating masters, it is destined to be a game between "kings", and it is an atmosphere rather than the competition itself.
Therefore, before the competition began, the atmosphere of the registration session had already attracted the attention of many fishing friends, and many netizens were speculating who would participate.
In the end, the Happy Fishing Channel announced the list of 18 participating teams, compared with 2023, Xu Qinghua team, Tianyuan team, and old G team are not on the list, while teams such as Onslaught, Leader, and Guest Friends are new faces.
The Tsinghua team is not on the list, and Mr. Xu wants to rest
As a result, Xu Qinghua may not participate in the competition again, after all, he is 72 years old and is no longer suitable to participate in such a high-intensity competition.
Deng Gang, who has always been popular among fishing friends, will retire in the middle of 2023 and has announced that he will not participate in such competitions, so he will not participate in the competition.
Although many anglers hoped that Deng Gang would be able to play, Mr. Deng had already made up his mind, and it was estimated that 18 cows would not be able to pull it back.
Fishing king Deng Gang missed the competition, which may have made the game lose a lot of highlights, but at the same time increased the suspense of the game.
In the history of the "Battle of Kings", the Tianyuan team led by Deng Gang has always been the favorite to win the championship, with the experience of winning the championship four times in five competitions, which can be said to be the champion harvester. After leaving Deng Gang, the probability of each team winning the championship has greatly increased, making the game more suspenseful.
In addition to Deng Gang, another celebrity in the fishing circle, Liu Zhiqiang, is also the focus of attention of fishing friends. According to Liu's team, they will pass a selection competition and draw a fan to participate in the competition.
This is a public promise made by Liu Zhiqiang after the 2023 "Battle of Kings", and whoever will be the lucky fan will be a highlight of the game.
Liu Zhiqiang's team decided to participate and brought a fan with them
As for who will be the lucky one in Liu Zhiqiang's team, it can only be judged by time.
The 2024 Battle of Kings format may see major changes
After the 18 participating teams are confirmed, the prelude to the 2024 "Battle of Kings" has begun. How each team is formed, how the "masters" of the fishing circle will stand, and whether there will be major changes in the competition system have become the focus of attention of netizens.
In the 2023 "Battle of Kings", it was complained by anglers that it was a silver carp drawing competition, and silver carp became the main target fish.
At the same time, due to the fact that the organizers of the event lost control over the "speech" of each participating team, "conspiracy theories" flew all over the sky, and various "rhythms" appeared on the Internet, which eventually led to the withdrawal of the two participating teams halfway.
In the editor's view, the "Battle of Kings" is ultimately a commercial competition, all participants want to get more exposure, and various topics will inevitably appear before or during the game, which needs to attract the attention of the event organizers.
Therefore, in the 2024 Battle of Kings, major adjustments may be made to the rules of the competition, including the target fish species, fishing methods and team member discipline, etc., which are estimated to be greatly different from the previous one.
However, this highly commercial competition is destined to be full of various topics and even controversies, and fishing friends can just be happy, and they don't have to take it seriously at all.
After all, in 2024, the most important thing is that the majority of anglers can fish happily, and everything else is left to chance.
