After the group draws are over, the order of matches within the group begins. Because the group is a single round-robin point competition, each team has to play a BO5 with the other five teams, and the order has little effect on the final points. Therefore, the International Competition Committee has given the host country team the right to choose their opponents first.
This game is held in South Korea, and the teams with the right to choose the home field are naturally Rider, Live, and ACK from South Korea.
The first to play was the captain of the Live team in Group A, Kwon Zhengtai. The Live team had won two world championships earlier, but they were gradually overshadowed by the Rider (Knights) in the past two years. It is satisfactory, but looking at the world, it is still an unmatched team, and there is no team in the circle that can guarantee that it will win when it encounters Live.
Quan Zhengtai stepped forward and stood beside the host, and the host said kindly, "We all know that the result of the game has a great impact on the morale of the players, and this year's Group A masters like clouds, in the first group match, Captain Quan Which team do you want to play with?"
Quan Zhengtai paused for a second, "Xiaolang."
There was a burst of exclamations from the audience. For the Live team, Xiaolang was the strongest opponent in Group A. He was the first to fight Xiaolang. Obviously, he had full confidence in the Live team.
The host also expressed surprise, "Captain Quan, are you sure?"
Quan Zhengtai raised the microphone, "I'm sure."
This time, the audience cheered.
In the middle of the Chinese commentary, Niu Niu frowned slightly, "Quan Zhengtai's decision is to have a hard time with Xiaolang. The first group match of Group A is also the first game of the world finals. The impact of victory or defeat on team morale is self-evident. The Live team took the initiative to ask to fight with Xiaolang. If they win, they will not only increase their morale, but also cause a lot of psychological pressure to the players of Xiaolang.”
Yao Jun nodded, "It's really scheming, but if they lose, the situation is the same, and even losing the game at home may be a little worse. And I believe that the players of the Xiaolang team will not be because of this game. Winning or losing will affect the state, so the Live team's decision may not make sense."
The host asked again, "What about the second game?"
Quan Zhengtai looked back at the grouping table on the big screen, as if confirming the name of the team, "Fengyue."
"Lian battle two Chinese teams! The meaning of targeting is too obvious!" Niu Niu shouted.
Although Yao Jun didn't say anything, his heart was full of worry.
On the surface, Quan Zhengtai's choice is aimed at the Chinese team, but in fact, this move is really scheming. If they defeat the Xiaolang and Fengyue teams successively, it will not only make the Chinese players' faces very ugly, but also disappoint the Chinese fans. A victory and a defeat will create a contrast. The Chinese team that loses the game will definitely lose the support of a large number of domestic fans, which will increase the mental burden of the players.
It seems that Quan Zhengtai chose to give priority to fighting against Xiaolang and Fengyue. Although the sword is slanted, the risk is not big, because unless Xiaolang and Fengyue defeat him at the same time, fans will only remember his brave and bold decision now. .
Shen Huai also saw this point. It seems that Quan Zhengtai wants to use fans to put pressure on them. If he thinks that this little trick can affect the state of Chinese players, it would be too small.
After Quan Zhengtai, the opponents he chose were the United Kingdom and Northern Europe, and Turkey, which was relatively weak, was ranked last by him. After that, Team Rider and Team ACK also chose the order of their own teams.
The final results showed that the opponents of Maple Moon's five games were Live, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the Nordics, and finally Xiaolang.
So far, the opening ceremony is officially over, and the first match between Xiaolang and Live will be held tomorrow night.
Everyone exited the stage, and the Fengyue people encountered the Xiaolang team that had just ended.
Shen Huai praised without hesitation, "Close the team, you won this warm-up match beautifully."
The Rider team has skyrocketed in the past two years, leaving other teams far behind. It is more common to beat the opponent 3-0 in the semi-finals. Xiaolang can win Rider two games in a row in the warm-up match, which can be said to China. fans earn enough face.
Guan He didn't look as serious as before the game, "Everyone played well, but the game will really start tomorrow, and Fengyue has to cheer up."
Song Xueyang smiled and said, "Xiaolang too, see you in the final of the group stage."
"See you in the final."
It just so happened that Yao Jun, Niu Niu and Ju Zi also came out of the commentary room. They came to Korea with the Chinese team this time and served as the live commentator in China. It always feels more cordial to meet everyone in a foreign country.
Everyone exchanged a few words with each other. This was the first time Zhou Ning had met with Ju Zi after rejecting her last time. It was a bit embarrassing, but Ju Zi didn't respond, and greeted him in a normal way, but with less enthusiasm. Although everyone didn't say anything, they could see clearly, and no one made fun of them anymore.
Yao Jun reminded, "When you were playing the wild card game, Cui Baozhen came to China to live broadcast a few times. I saw that her operation has improved a lot compared to last year. I heard that her contract with the Live team expired this year, and she voted for him. In order to find a good home for herself, she will definitely try her best to show herself in this year’s competition.”
"In addition, Live's captain Quan Zhengtai is not a fuel-efficient lamp. You should have seen it just now. This man is very shrewd and has excellent battlefield commanding ability. He ranks second in the world's professional gunslinger rankings. It is currently the highest ranking in the sniper branch."
Yao Jun said that he looked at Song Xueyang meaningfully. Everyone knew the meaning of the unfinished business. The match against Live was not only the opening match of the Maple Moon team in the group stage, but also for Song Xueyang himself. the best shortcut.
Yao Jun has always taken good care of Song Xueyang, and Song Xueyang also respects him very much, "Don't worry, Brother Jun, I understand."
Yao Jun nodded, and finally said "Come on" to the two teams and left with his partner. Fengyue also parted ways with Team Xiaolang.
Regarding the opening ceremony of the World Championship, the most talked about topic among netizens is that Xiaolang won the preliminaries and the immortals of Group A.
[Hahaha, it hurts the Turkish team that survived in the cracks for a second, who am I? where am I? Why are there a bunch of great gods surrounding me?]
[Xueshen's luck is simple, he has confirmed his eyes, and he is also an African!]
[I'm going, Xiaolang is awesome! Can actually beat Rider twice! I see hope to win the championship this year! Come on, Xiaolang! But don't be eliminated!]
[I hope Xiaolang and Fengyue can qualify! ! Hope the Chinese team can win the championship!]
With the enthusiastic expectation of netizens, the first game of the World Finals of the S6 season of "City of Despair" officially kicked off. This match was Xiaolang VS Live. The other teams in Group A watched the game in the player viewing area. Fengyuezhong consciously made two cheering cards for the Xiaolang team to cheer for their compatriots.
The game modes of this game are 2V2, 6V6, 6V6, 1V1 and 2V2.
This order is not very good for Xiaolang, because the three swordsmen of Xiaolang basically play 6V6 and 1V1, which means that they have to fight three times in a row, and two of them are very energy-intensive 6V6. 2V2 is the weak point of Xiaolang, but it occupies the two most important positions in the opening and closing.
In the first 2V2, Xiaolang sent Jin An and Wu Sheng. Coincidentally, the opponent was also a combination of warrior gunners, but the gunner was Live's captain Quan Zhengtai.
Live sent heavyweight players at the beginning, Jin An was under a lot of pressure, Shi Yi sat up straight, cheering for his old teammates from the bottom of his heart.
Jin An has really improved a lot in the wild card training camp, and Wu Sheng is also a very stable old player. However, Quan Zhengtai's sniper output is more explosive. He is different from Song Xueyang's style of play. Song Xueyang adds some main strength, and then uses ultra-long-range sniping to increase his attack percentage to deal more damage. Quan Zhengtai is the main crit, he will not Shooting Song Xueyang's long range, but within a range of 800 meters, the critical strike output is completely comparable to Song Xueyang.
The sniper has a long range, and there is a meat fight in front of him. Jin An can't cut him at all, and he must always pay attention to using his own machinery as a cover. , and ultimately defeated.
Xiaolang failed at the start, and Quan Zhengtai performed well. Obviously, he did not show all his strength in this 2V2.
In the next 6V6, the main players of the two teams came on the field one after another. The mode of this game was an offensive and defensive battle.
Snipers have a natural advantage in the offensive and defensive battle mode. After the sniper sniper increases the range, standing in the middle can hit almost all the enemies on the entire map. However, the sniper's ultra-long-range sniping is difficult to hit. Even Quan Zhengtai can hit two or three shots in ten shots, so his crit flow style is the mainstream style of snipers at present, and it will not eat too much. Pre-judgment, basic attack hits also have good damage.
At the beginning of this round, a team battle broke out at the east gate. Guan He was unable to provide timely support at the west gate. An Luqingbing at the front gate was not as fast as Quan Zhengtai, and the support was slower. As a result, this wave of team battles was completely at a disadvantage. As the east gate approached, An Lu, who was still bloodied, was hit with a 950-meter sniping distance near the moat and took the head, setting a new record for his personal farthest sniping.
The audience and the Korean commentary were so excited that they were going crazy, 950 meters! This is very close to 1000 meters and almost increases the sniper's attack damage by 50%! You must know that Quan Zhengtai's longest range was only 800 meters before, of which the effective range was about 400 meters, but this time he actually hit the enemy with residual blood at a position of 950 meters!
The atmosphere at the scene was immediately pushed to a climax, the fans shouted excitedly, and the commentators kept praising, "950 meters!! This sniper distance has broken the current record of the longest sniper range in the world! Ultra-high He destroyed 30% of the enemy's HP in just one shot! Oh, my God, I'm so excited, Chint completed the 150-meter breakthrough in one year, we should really congratulate him!"
The three commentators in the Chinese commentary room fell into silence one after another. The World Championship is not like in China. You can say whatever you want to say. When you go out, you have to show the demeanor of a state of etiquette. However, the atmosphere of the scene and the excited words of the Korean commentator made They have absolutely no idea where to complain.
In fact, because Song Xueyang has never played in the World Championship, and is not well-known in the World Championship, they have to watch such a show every year at the World Championship. Listening to the commentators from various countries raving about Quan Zhengtai's marksmanship has made his ears tingle.
In Yao Jun's opinion, Quan Zhengtai is not a material for long-range sniping at all. His greatness lies in his unparalleled precise positioning and the outbreak of team battles. Make a fuss about it and make yourself always embarrassed for them.
Hai Xing was also speechless by the surrounding atmosphere, "Quan Zhengtai worked hard for a year to reach 950 range. If he knows that the captain can hit 1600 meters casually, he must not uninstall the game?"
Song Xueyang commented objectively, "Quan Zhengtai's approach is different from mine. Long-range sniping is just his sideline. If we can't cut him in tomorrow's game, it will be over."
Although Guan He took the opportunity to kill the swordsman guarding Ximen, he still failed to restore this wave of disadvantage.
After that, Quan Zhengtai, who got the head, was very helpful, and the explosion output was unstoppable. He was blocked by Cui Baozhen several times when Guan He cut him. The Live team protected him very well. The team pushed the handsome flag in one wave and won the second victory.
At this time, Team Live won two games in a row and reached the match point first. The morale of the team members was high, and the team members in the waiting room of Team Xiaolang were looking grim, obviously discussing the countermeasures for the next game.
Zhou Ning was a little worried, and his eyes were fixed on Guan He on the big screen. This was Guan He's last year of competition. Of course, he hoped that he would get good results and have no regrets.
The third game of 6V6 is to rescue the hostages. This mode is completely the strength of Xiaolang. The free man randomly comes to Tang Wenlang. As the fifth swordsman player in the world, Tang Wenlang's output is second only to Guan He. He saved Guan by himself. He and An Lu, and then the Three Swordsmen rushed straight to the enemy camp, killing them. The free men of the Live team were not their opponents at all, and Xiaolang pulled back a game without any suspense.
1V1 is also the home field of the Three Swordsmen of Xiaolang. An Lu started, Tang Wenlang was second, and Guan He Shoulei.
The Three Swordsmen is the most difficult arena lineup for the Xiaolang team, and Guan He is obviously also struggling. Quan Zhengtai's sniper will not be on 1V1, and the most powerful arena player in Live is Cui Baozhen.
Cui Baozhen is a qigong master of the qigong school, which is relatively rare in foreign countries, because a five-element array with explosive output in the qigong school has a lot of crooked nuts to play with, but Cui Baozhen is of Chinese descent and has a good understanding of Chinese culture, compared to a rough boxer. I also prefer elegant qigong masters.
Her qigong master is currently ranked fifth in the world, one place higher than Hu Nana. Hu Nana did not participate in the World Championships this year, and her ranking may drop.
There was almost no gap in the first fight. Tang Wenlang had a 30% qi and blood lead from the start of this fight. Cui Baozhen went to the fight ahead of time, and she had to challenge two great god-level players one after another. Her strength is indeed much stronger than last year. Shen Huai never expected that she would improve so fast. Unfortunately, Guan He is also a top god, and she was unable to recover her disadvantage when her blood volume was behind.
After Xiaolang went straight to catch up for two games, the score between the two sides was 2:2, and the last 2V2 became the deciding game.
This time, Xiaolang sent Jin An and Buping's mechanical and ice magic combination. The live lineup is similar, it is ice magic and element magic.
Everyone's hearts were raised, for fear that Jin An would be under too much pressure due to the influence of the first fight. But it turns out that Jin An deserves to be the type who is more and more brave in Vietnam. Not only is it completely true, but he also plays very aggressively. After Buping's very beautiful Frozen Miles successfully hit two enemies, Jin An made a big move in seconds. A set of even recruited two people's heads, and won the final victory for Xiaolang!
Xiaolang VS Live, Xiaolang team won 3:2! Got the first victory for the Chinese team!
