The 12th China Go Dragon Star Battle Qualifier, which lasted for nearly two weeks, ended on the Tencent Wild Fox Go platform on September 3, and on the last match day, Jiang Zhujiu and Duan Rong qualified from the group over 40 years old, Wu Guangya from the 30 to 40 years old group, Zhang Tao, Huang Yunsong and Liao Yuanhe from the 20 to 30 age group, Pan Tingyu and Jin Yucheng from the under 20 group, and Li He from the women's group. Together with seeded players Ke Jie, Lian Xiao, Gu Zihao, Yang Dingxin, Jiang Weijie, Mi Yuting, Ding Hao, Xu Jiayang, as well as Mao Ruilong, Sun Tengyu, Chen Haoxin, Wang Shuo and Zhou Hongyu, who had previously advanced, they formed the lineup for this tournament.
Affected by the epidemic, the 12th Dragon Star Battle Qualifier, which was originally scheduled to be held in Hangzhou in mid-August, was changed to online selection and dispersed. In the over-40 group, Duan Rong won consecutive victories over Qiu Danyun and Wu Xinyu and won the tournament for two consecutive years. Jiang Zhujiu, a veteran who is about to turn sixty, exerts his courage to decisively defeat the junior Wang Lei, and enters the tournament for the first time when he participates in the Dragon Star War. It is worth mentioning that Wang Lei defeated Jiang Zhujiu's wife Rui Naiwei in the first round of the qualifiers, which adds another interesting story to the legendary story of the "Eighteen Duan Couple".
In the 30-40-year-old group, the oldest national team coach Huang Yizhong won the first round of Sun Yuan, who has been teaching at Shanghai Chinese University for a long time, and the second round of Lectra Hangzhou coach Guo Wenchao, but the decisive round was still lost to the youngest Wu Guangya. Wu Guangya followed the 11th 2019 group from the 20 to 30 years old group to qualify, and the group was "upgraded" to re-enter the competition.
In the 20-30-year-old group, there was not a single world champion qualified, and in the first round, he lost to Chen Bisen, and in the second round, Dang Yifei, Xie Erhao, Tan Xiao, and Feng Jiaxi were eliminated by Xie Ke, Chen Xian, Li Weiqing, and Ding Shixiong at the same time, and Zhou Ruiyang, the only person left in the semifinals of the group, defeated Li Xuanhao to defend his last dignity, but unfortunately lost to Huang Yunsong 1/4 son in the decisive round. Among the four qualifiers, Zhang Tao, Sun Tengyu and Huang Yunsong all had the experience of winning the fast chess tournament, and Liao Yuanhe won consecutive victories over Liao Xingwen, Yang Kaiwen and Li Weiqing after beating the Asian fast chess champion Li Qincheng in the first round.
The under-20 group was more unpopular, Tu Xiaoyu and Wang Xinghao, the two recognized strongest people, were all out, and Pan Tingyu, who lost to Tu Xiaoyu in the semi-final, and Jin Yucheng, who lost to Wang Xinghao in the decisive round, all laughed to the end. Born in Taipei, China in 2001, Pan Tingyu set a section in the China Weiqi Association in 2015, has been working hard in the mainland chess industry for a long time, stayed in his hometown due to the epidemic in 2020, and returned to the field in 2021 to eliminate the 2021 rookie champion Li Haotong and the newcomer champion Tu Xiaoyu for the first time in the tournament. Born in 2004, Jin Yucheng participated in the Weijia League for the first time this year, that is, 4 wins and 3 losses, which made the Hangzhou team feel amazing and is another newcomer worth looking forward to.
Li He passed four consecutive levels in the women's group, including Fang Ruoxi, Yue Jiayan, Zeng Chudian and Song Ronghui, and once again entered the Dragon Star Battle tournament after five years. The tournament will start in September.
