This style of play was not very effective in the second game. The King's Landing had already been prepared, and the priest gave the whole team a defensive state right from the start.
But it's still useless. The only character in King's Dynasty that Zhao Mingwei finds difficult is Eye of the Storm.
The second game used the method of dividing the battlefield. Jinyi Cangdao played well for one round and was then replaced. Baili Moyan, who was the praying man, was also brought up to play a normal team confrontation.
In the second game, Junlin Tianxia used their teamwork and strength to win the Junlin Dynasty in just ten minutes. There was no suspense at all.
Maybe the old players of King of the World have become outdated in the game of Dissension, but the game of Holy Spirit is gradually returning to its peak.
The subsequent matches of other teams were also no suspense at all. The most watched match was the match between Leaping Nuclear and Gray Eyed Society, and the result was a one-sided crushing victory.
The top 16 competition came to a successful conclusion in a short time. The competition was exciting, but the popularity was still not high. Jiang Qiao didn't care much about this, but the frontline reporters cared a lot! They cared so much that they kept asking the official to make some official programs to promote this competition.
Jiang Qiao agreed, so on the eve of the quarterfinals, the front-line reporters were invited to do a pre-match analysis program with the Star Scribes team.
The title of this program is also very ironic... that is, "Are professional players of Dissension still considered 'top' players in the Holy Spirit?"
The title seems a bit sarcastic, but the frontline reporters are discussing it very seriously, and she has also tried to invite some guests from major guilds to do this show. Unfortunately, no one dares to be on such an offensive show, and only one man accepted the invitation.
That’s Mr. Yin.
"Let us welcome Mr. SilverAhui, the owner of Leaping Nuclear Club, to participate in this discussion." Frontline reporters applauded to welcome Mr. Silver.
The location for this live broadcast is still the stage set up outside the Road to Ascension.
"Hello, everyone." Mr. Yin had seen a lot of the world, so he was very calm when he walked onto the live broadcast stage. At the signal of the front-line reporters, he sat down in the guest seats.
"Then let's get straight to the point. The round of 16 has ended. Both teams of Leaping Nuclear have successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. You have also seen the performance of each team in the round of 18. Most of the players in these teams have served in the Dissension Professional League in the past. Do you think the players of the Dissension Professional League are still top players in Holy Spirit?"
"This question has been ridiculed by many people. I feel like I'm risking my life to answer it. There are a lot of black fans below who are looking for reasons to discredit us." Mr. Yin scratched his cheek, not knowing where to start.
"If you feel it is inconvenient, you can change the question."
Frontline reporters also know that this question is too much of a joke, but every fan who has watched the Holy Spirit League actually has an answer in their hearts, but no one dares to say it.
"Let's not change the question. Let me put it another way." Mr. Yin certainly didn't mean to avoid the question. He participated in this program to remind all the professional players of Dissension, or the top players in Holy Spirit, "Let's change the top to extreme, that is, VR professional players. So what is the limit of VR players' operation and their upper limit of operation?"
"The limit... where do you think the limit is?"
When the frontline reporters heard Mr. Yin's correction, they felt that it was not so offensive and was very relevant to the previous topic.
“Let me put it this way. VR games became popular fifteen or eighteen years ago. I remember it very clearly. I was in the third year of junior high school and one of the tests in the exam was a 1,000-meter long-distance run. I fainted right after I finished the run.” Mr. Yin suddenly said something that was completely unrelated to the current topic.
"I think I've been confused by this before." The Starry Scribes team also revealed their own dark history.
“Well, my physical condition was very poor at that time. I saw in the news that primary and secondary school students across the country had general physical problems due to long periods of sitting in front of computers and playing with mobile phones. I have seen this news for several years, but after VR online games became popular, this news has rarely been seen anymore.” Mr. Yin said.
"Are you trying to say that VR games have improved the physical fitness of the people?" The frontline reporter pointed out the key part of Mr. Yin's words very keenly.
“It can be said that VR gaming itself is a very physically demanding way of playing, and the physical training of professional players is the most basic of the basics. This also leads to VR professional players having physical fitness comparable to that of professional athletes, or even stronger, but this was the standard five years ago.”
"Then... the current standard..."
"It's hard for me to say what the current standards are. Let me give you a practical example. The game Holy Spirit can enhance the physical fitness of players. This has been proven by research. The reason for the current research is that the simulation clothing of VR equipment has this effect. I don't know if this research is correct, but don't you think that some of the players in the top 16 teams are too strong?" President Yin directly said the topic that the frontline reporters really wanted to talk about.
That is, among the top 16 players, the levels of some players are obviously not on the same level as the other players.
"I won't talk about the players from other clubs, but let's take our club's player Juan Canyun for example. His skills and physical fitness have already begun to evolve to another level." Mr. Yin clearly stated his opinion, and at the same time, he looked at the live camera, as if he was looking at those top players who thought, 'I'm already doing well in Dispute and don't need to improve anymore.'
"Juan Canyun has shown strong performance in the match against the Gray Eye Club. He is so strong that he can even fight one against three or one against five. The players of the Gray Eye Club may not be a weak team in Dissension, but has their level dropped in the Holy Spirit? No, their level in the Holy Spirit has not dropped, but Juan Canyun's level has improved! It has improved to the point where he has opened up a huge gap with the current Dissension players!"
"So, Mr. Yin, what you mean is... if Juan Canyun returns to Dissension to play in the competition, he will still be able to defeat Huitong Club?" The frontline reporter asked this question carefully, which would still offend many people.
"Yes, I think so. Dissidia has many shortcomings, such as delays, frame rate fluctuations, and skill effects that can't even keep up with the players' operations. However, Holy Spirit does not exist. The operation limit of Holy Spirit is much higher than Dissidia, and the physical fitness requirements are the same. Our player Juan Canyun has already surpassed his own limit and is pursuing another higher realm. If the players of other clubs still stand still, I'm afraid... they will lose miserably."
Mr. Yin's words really brought a lot of hatred to Juan Canyun, but Juan Canyun really deserved such praise. The dominance he showed against the five professional players of the Gray Eye Club in the round of 16 was witnessed by all the audience.
Comments like "Monster" and "Cheating" kept popping up.
"So what do you think is the current limit of player Juan Canyun?"
"This... I don't know. Juan Canyun is still growing, which makes me very happy. Finally, I wish all the Holy Spirit players can surpass themselves and reach the pinnacle."
After the frontline reporters asked Mr. Yin some questions related to the competition and the future planning of the game, the interview program ended.
At this time, in the training room of the villa that Zhao Mingwei and his team had occupied, Lin Xi had just finished watching the interview between the frontline reporter and President Yin while holding a bucket of instant noodles.
“Indeed, I feel that some of the opponents recently are as strong as monsters.” Lin Xi complained after taking a bite of braised beef noodles.
"Isn't there one in our team as well?" Pastor Baili Moyan in the team said, pointing at Zhao Mingwei who was dozing off on the sofa.
But at this moment, Qi Junzi answered a call outside the training room of the villa, and Qi Junzi's tone sounded very angry.
"Is it that club calling again?" Lin Xi asked curiously as he looked at the phone that Qi Junzi hung up.
"The Gray Eye Club, they paid 500 million for our team naming rights." The gentleman's voice also sounded a little sighed, "It seems that they have already considered us to be the favorite to win the championship."
"Five hundred million! It's a question whether I can earn five hundred million in my lifetime. Tsk tsk, how about giving the naming rights to them?" Lin Xi seemed a little tempted.
"If you win the championship, you'll get more than 500 million!"
Qi Junzi threw a rag directly at Lin Xi, who dodged it. Then Qi Junzi took a blanket and covered Zhao Mingwei who was taking a nap.
"What if... I don't win the championship?" Baili Moyan said a very scary possibility.
"The third place prize is enough, although not as much as 500 million." said Mr. Qi.
"Let's prepare for the quarterfinals."
Zhao Mingwei had already opened his eyes at this time. He had been investigating Thorne's whereabouts on the road to ascension these days, but unfortunately there was no news.
