That night, Chi Shuo checked the information that Mingshen gave them overnight, and quickly browsed the game video of the AMT team in the European division. He found that the player Roman Reigns is indeed very strong, and the hero pool is also very deep, and he performed well during the regular season. Eye, many times three kills, four kills won the MVP.
In comparison, Cheng Xing's performance in the regular season is hard to match him.
However, the idea of singles is different from team battles. The reason why Roman Reigns performed well in the regular season is also due to his teammates, especially the protection and control of the auxiliary Kylian. His output environment is very comfortable.
Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang studied in the middle of the night and practiced with Cheng Xing. The three finally decided on a plan for Cheng Xing to try out during the competition.
The rules of the World Invitational Individual Tournament are that the hero pool is open to both players at the same time, and the heroes that have been used will automatically enter the small black room and cannot be used in subsequent games.
For example, player A used [Wind Spirit] in the first game. In the following games, player A can no longer use [Wind Spirit], but player B can use it, which is similar to the global BP rules of the playoffs.
The plan determined by Ye Shaoyang is essentially a "Tian Ji horse racing" strategy, using the shooter that Cheng Xing is not very good at to fight the opponent's best hero, and then using Cheng Xing's best hero to fight the opponent's hero with average performance.
Two wins in three rounds, as long as you win two rounds, you can advance.
Ye Shaoyang also personally worked as a sparring partner for Cheng Xing, simulating the hero pool of his opponent Roman. Cheng Xing practiced very seriously until 2 am, and got up at 8 am to prepare.
Seeing the pair of big dark circles hanging under Cheng Xing's eyes, Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but ask, "You haven't slept all night, have you?" Cheng Xinghan smiled and scratched his head: "I'm so excited that I can't sleep, I just watched it. One night's video, hehe, go to sleep after the game."
There was still an hour before the start of the game at 9:00, and Ye Shaoyang practiced with Cheng Xing for a while to help him regain his hand. Until 8:50, Cheng Xing logged into the international server [individual wild card competition area] on time, and the system automatically assigned him to the competition room. He saw that his opponent's ID was exactly the Romain that appeared on the schedule.
The referee read out the rules of the game and turned on the camera authentication. The camera must be turned on throughout the online competition. The referee will see the players' situation in real time, so as to avoid someone pretending to be a player to play on their behalf.
After the certification, the competition officially started at 9:00.
In the first round, the hero pool was fully opened, and Romain was the first to grab the [Elf of the Wind]. This shooter is one of the strongest shooters in heads-up, and he is also a hero that Romain is very good at.
Cheng Xing chose a [Machine Gun Hunter] according to Ye Shaoyang's strategy.
In team games, [Machine Gun Hunter] plays a very important role, pushing towers quickly and clearing troops quickly, and usually cooperates with the auxiliary lineup of "pushing towers". However, in the individual game, this hero is too clumsy, has no displacement skills, and is easy to be kited by opponents.
Romain was quite surprised to see this, and couldn't help but say to his teammates: "Is this Starlight a joke? Just pick a machine gun hunter?"
Teammate Vanessa glanced at the information and said with a smile: "It's a player from Huaguo. As far as I know, the most powerful shooter in Huaguo is Rain, who was recommended to participate in this individual competition. This Starlight should be There is no reputation, a newcomer who comes to the wild card area to play casually."
Romain thought so too, rubbing his hands together, getting ready.
The game map is loaded after a 10-second countdown.
The map of the single-player game is very simple. There is only a middle road, no upper and lower roads, and there are no wild monsters in the nearby wild area to eat the economy, but there are a few grasses for ambush.
The decision rule for the outcome of the game is to push down the opponent's crystal; or kill the opponent 3 times.
At the beginning of the first game, Cheng Xing kept trying to clear his troops under the tower. Because [Machine Gun Hunter] cleared his troops very fast, the opponent could not kill him by jumping over the tower for a while. Suddenly, he used his ultimate move to beat Cheng Xing a few times, and instantly suppressed Cheng Xing's blood volume by half.
In individual competitions, there is no blood pack to eat, and blood cannot be returned. Cheng Xing's hero didn't move, and the laning was at a disadvantage. He was quickly beaten by Romain and had to go home.
Romain took the opportunity to push the tower with the line.
The two fought back and forth for 10 minutes. After Romain made the key equipment, he jumped over the tower to kill, took Cheng Xing's head, and pushed the outer tower. The rhythm of the next game was quickly controlled by Romain. He snowballed wildly, with equipment ahead of Cheng Xing, and went straight to basic attack without thinking.
The first game ended in 14 minutes, and Cheng Xing lost without a doubt.
After the 5-minute intermission, Ye Shaoyang analyzed: "Romain is a tough player. Xiaoxing, you should pay more attention to the details in the second game, and spend with him until the late game."
Cheng Xing nodded: "Yeah!"
At the beginning of the second game, Romain chose the marksman [Sharpshooter], which is also a very suitable hero for singles. The attack distance is very long, and no hero can reach him with basic attacks, unless the assassin goes around and cuts.
In the shooter's heads-up game, the [Sharpshooter] can hide in a very far place to snipe the opponent, but the opponent can't hit him. If he is shot twice in a row, it is easy to lose blood or even be killed.
Cheng Xing was not in a hurry. After Romain selected the hero, he chose the hero [Blood Princess].
This is the archer hero that Cheng Xing is very good at. The big move can suck blood. Although it is not flexible enough without the displacement skill, the output ability of the stance ranks among the top among all the archers, and the survivability is extremely strong.
As soon as the game started, Romain aimed at Cheng Xing with two shots, and Cheng Xing went home with blood.
After a few minutes, he took Cheng Xing's blood back home.
"This newcomer is too bad, right? He can't dodge my gun at all." He omain stared at the computer screen and couldn't help thinking, anyway, the victory is in hand, so let's end the second round as soon as possible.
When Cheng Xing returned to the line, Romain found that the other party was hiding in the grass where he didn't know where, which was really cowardly.
The lines of the two sides meet in the middle. Romain uses his Q skill to snipe and clear the troops quickly. Anyway, he can mount the tower himself without coming out, and he can still win by quickly pushing the defense tower away.
At this moment, Romain's peripheral vision suddenly swept across a red corner of his clothes.
Cheng Xing flashed directly from the nearby grass, cleared the line in an instant, and put a set of combos on Romain; because the line was cleared, the defense tower hit Romain, and Romain responded very quickly with a big shot. Throwing the sniper, he quickly retreated to widen the distance, and Cheng Xing chased after him with his blood-sucking big move.
Romain sniped Cheng Xing twice. Although Cheng Xing was disabled, Cheng Xing quickly sucked up his blood!
The blood-sucking action of the blood-clan princess is comparable to the treatment of the nurse. At this time, Romain also found that he had been fooled by the opponent. The advantage of the [Sharpshooter] lies in the long-distance consumption.
He was careless just now and pushed the tower too far forward, and as a result, he was beaten by the [blood princess] and had to go home with residual blood.
In the next game, Romain became more and more uncomfortable, because Cheng Xing's first piece of equipment was the "Blood Arrow", the core equipment of the blood princess, the attack comes with a percentage of blood sucking, and with the big move, the blood can be reduced in just a few seconds. full. He sniped at the opponent twice from a distance, and the opponent quickly returned to full blood.
The sharpshooter has a limited number of bullets, and the cooling time is very long after the sniper is finished; but the blood-sucking equipment from Cheng Xing has no cooling at all, and he can fight minions to suck blood!
His long-distance consumption is like scratching his boots, and it is useless unless he can kill his opponent with a burst. But [Sharpshooter] is not an explosive hero at all. It takes time to aim and snip, and it takes time to accumulate bullets. As a result, when he accumulated enough bullets, he found that Cheng Xing actually had a piece of equipment called "Anti-Injury Armor" .
This is a defensive outfit with the effect of "reflecting 50% of the physical damage you take". Usually, warriors and tank heroes only produce this kind of equipment. Are you a shooter out of armor and don't care about output at all
Cheng Xing's outfit idea was almost mocking face to face: Come on, snip at me, snip at me, and I'll give you half of it. I can regenerate blood, but you can't.
Romain: "…"
In the late stage of the game, the blood-sucking ability of [Princess of the Blood Race] is extremely terrifying. With two draws, it can restore full blood. With the addition of the anti-injury armor, it is simply an unstoppable hedgehog!
His output is indeed weak, but so what
I don't output, and I don't want to kill you, so I slowly push the tower.
Although Cheng Xing didn't kill Romain alone, he controlled the line of troops very well, and kept leading the troops to push the tower, and finally pushed the crystal away quickly under Romain's eyes.
Seeing the golden words of victory, Cheng Xing said excitedly, "This strategy really works!"
Ye Shaoyang said: "Don't be too happy, there is still a third game."
Cheng Xing nodded vigorously: "Mmmm, I'll play well in the third game!"
In the first two rounds, Cheng Xing waited for Romain to select the hero before choosing. Anyway, the hero pool of the individual competition is fully open. Suddenly changing heroes in a second is playing a psychological game.
In the third round, Romain chose [Archer], and the rockets he shot could cause continuous burning damage; Cheng Xing chose a [Snow Girl] with his backhand, and the frozen arrows he shot could cause a deceleration effect.
After the start of the game, Romain gradually found that it was difficult for him to hit his opponent!
The two heroes have similar attack distances in theory, but [Snow Girl]'s attack is slowing down, making him slow like a snail, unable to walk, unable to catch up, and will naturally suffer when they fight each other.
What's more, [Snow Girl]'s Frostbolt hits the opponent continuously, and it will also cause a short 1-second freeze. Romain was extremely uncomfortable. He was repeatedly slowed down and frozen, not to mention hitting the opposite side, and he couldn't even clear the line of troops.
[Snow Girl] This shooter is not common in the game, because her output is really low, and the output ability is not as good as other shooters in the late stage of the 6th god outfit. It is only suitable for matching with a special lineup system, taking the operation flow or the control flow. However, I took it out in a heads-up today, and the effect was unexpectedly good!
Cheng Xing got better and better. When the game was 10 minutes into the game, he relied on a quick basic attack that broke out with his hand speed. He shot 3 arrows in a row in the opponent within 1 second, freezing Romain in place!
Immediately after that, Cheng Xia opened a big move and made a series of critical attacks, killing Romain who was still in blood!
Seeing the system prompt that Starlight killed Romain popped up on the screen, Cheng Xing almost cried out with excitement. He quickly tapped the colorful glare keyboard with his left hand, dragged the mouse with his right hand, and pushed off the outer tower with a wave of soldiers.
After Romain's resurrection, he beat Cheng Xing and disabled Cheng Xing.
But Cheng Xing flashed and slowed down with his backhand, he couldn't catch up with the opponent at all, so Cheng Xingsixue escaped.
In the late 15 minutes of the game, [Snow Girl]'s attack speed was full, and it was so frozen that people doubted life. In the end, Cheng Xing froze Romain in front of the crystal and pushed the crystal away at the fastest speed!
-victory!
—Congratulations to player [Starlight] for advancing to the second round of the Wild Card Tournament!
Cheng Xing jumped up excitedly: "I won! I won!"
Ye Shaoyang smiled and patted his shoulder: "Good job."
The French AMT team, Romain looked confused: "How can this happen?"
Vanessa rubbed her chin thoughtfully: "Don't you think that your heroes were restrained in the second and third games? They seem to have studied you specifically? It's like playing BP."
Romain felt this way too. He played too smoothly in the first game, and the second and third games became more and more uncomfortable. He scratched his head and wondered, "Is there an expert behind the other party?"
Cheng Xing was very pleased.
Behind me, there are two military divisions!
Master is the champion of the world individual competition, and his awareness of strategies and outfit ideas in heads-up battles is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Brother Yang's shooter is also a thief, and he personally acts as a sparring partner for me!
In fact, Cheng Xing knew very well in his heart that his personal strength was somewhat inferior to that of Romain. However, playing the game was not without his brains. He also needed all strategies, even in individual competitions.
How to choose heroes, how to target equipment, and how to seize the opportunity
Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang taught him a lot, which was the key to Cheng Xing's counterattack in this match.
At first, he also felt that when he participated in the wild card division, he was just going to be cannon fodder and gain experience. But after this game, Cheng Xing found that nothing is impossible.
His operation is not bad, his consciousness is also good, his hand speed and reaction can keep up, of course, plus the staff of Master and Brother Yang, there is still a chance of winning in the individual competition!
Maybe he can follow Master and Brother Yang to the World Invitational to show his face
