At the beginning of the quarter-finals, after each game, a reporter interview will be arranged, which is a good opportunity to let the players from all over the world get to know the players. Song Xueyang attended with all the Fengyue team members.
As soon as they entered the interview room, the reporters applauded enthusiastically.
Fengyue defeated Team Sukura 3:0 tonight. Shen Huai showed the different styles of Chinese assassins in three consecutive games. It can be said that the excitement of the game has interview points almost every minute.
"Excuse me, Wing, the three Assassin styles you use today are from three Assassin players in China, right? Is there any reason for you to do this?"
Shen Huai replied, "There is no special reason for using the three styles of play. The assassin profession has always been ignored, and there are very few assassin players in the World Championship. I think the style of professional players will become the benchmark. Drive players in the game. The game between Fengyue and Sukura will definitely attract a lot of players who love the assassin profession. I hope I can take this opportunity to let everyone know about Chinese assassins. Like Herring's trap-flow assassin, Luo team's wind control Stream assassins are all very iconic domestic styles of play, and they are also thorny enemies on the field."
He took the opportunity to briefly introduce Herring and Luo Lie to repay their kindness for teaching them how to play.
The reporter listened to his answer patiently, "But why did you choose an unfamiliar style of play to participate in the game? Do you think KU's strength is not as good as you?"
Shen Huaiyun said lightly, "There are only occupations that I am not familiar with, and there is no assassin style of play that I am not familiar with."
When the reporters heard this, they booed at first, but soon felt that it might not be a big talk for Wing at all, so they applauded admiringly.
They asked Song Xueyang again, "Captain Song, why do you agree with Wing to use such a risky style of play? Do you believe in his strength?"
Song Xueyang picked up the microphone, "Of course I believe in Wing, he is an expert in assassins."
After making a joke, he said sternly, "Of course, as the captain, I also consider it from the perspective of the team. The overall level of the Maple Moon players has been relatively high, and the teamwork and individual play have also matured. I am very happy with Sukura. I was confident that I could win, so when Wing suggested that he wanted to play the game with a different style of play, I thought it was a good opportunity to let players all over the world know about Maple Moon, and I agreed."
His words were not polite at all, full of the pride of the winner, and the reporters continued to ask questions.
"Captain Song has great confidence in Fengyue, so where do you think Fengyue can go this year?"
At this moment, a word appeared in the hearts of everyone in Fengyue—champion.
Song Xueyang smiled, "Championship."
The Maple Moon team members were not calm for a moment.
He actually said it, he really said it! Damn it, if you don't win the championship and you won't be laughed to death, your face will be swollen if you talk too much! The flag stands too high, and if it falls, it will kill people!
In the face of the reporters' scrutiny, they showed embarrassed but polite smiles.
Afterwards, the reporters interviewed other people, because Song Xueyang had said that he would definitely win the championship, so they could only brag about it and go out and tell all their advantages.
"I would like to ask Eleven, in the match against Vice-Captain Yoshino, you dodged the blazing brilliance from his back. At that time, we all thought it was impossible to dodge from this angle. How did you do it? Coincidence? ?"
Shi Yi pointed to his ears, "My hearing is very keen, and I can quickly judge the skills released by the enemy based on the sound, so although I didn't see Yoshino's people at the time, I heard the sound and knew that he used the flames."
The reporters did not expect him to have this ability, and they were very interested.
"So, it's your ability to react better than others, right?"
"Uh, it's fine."
"You also participated in the World Championship with the Xiaolang team before, but you didn't show such ability at that time. Is it a skill you have only trained in recent years?"
"I did it when I was in Xiaolang, but I didn't use it very well."
"Do you think Fengyue and Xiaolang, which team will help you more?"
"This can't be compared to..." Shi Yi couldn't help sending a distress signal to Fan Jingming because of the increasingly acute question, "Fengyue and Xiaolang have given me different help at different stages of my life, I like Xiaolang, Love my current team too."
The reporters seemed not satisfied with this formulaic answer, and wanted to ask again, Fan Jingming suddenly took the microphone, "I think Fengyue is more helpful to him, he has almost grown taller in the year he came to Fengyue. One centimeter!"
Shi Yi's face turned red all of a sudden. He just broke the 170 mark recently. If it wasn't for Zhou Jing at the bottom, he would be the shortest in the team, but he never told Fan Jingming that he had grown taller. .
The reporters looked at Fan Jingming, who could see that he was taller than Shi Yi while sitting there, and couldn't help laughing at the exaggerated height difference of the pair.
"Ming and Eleven have a very good relationship!"
"Because we are partners."
The topic led to Xiao Ming. Fan Jingming was a model and had a cheerful personality. He was very good at dealing with these reporters, which made Shi Yi secretly relieved.
Fan Jingming's interview was almost over, and they turned their attention to Zhou Ning again.
Zhou Ning's appearance is to look at the e-sports circle and it is all about beauty, but his style of play is completely opposite to his appearance. After a few competitions in the World Championship, his full-strength epee swordsman has also become known to the enemy. intimidating existence.
A Chinese reporter asked, "Ningshen, you didn't play this way in China before, and you suddenly used full power to add points in the wild card match. Everyone is surprised that you can make extraordinary progress in such a short time. It is very risky to change your style of play, why would you change your style of play?"
Since the other party asked questions in Chinese, Zhou Ning also switched back to his native language, "The current style of play is more suitable for me than the previous style of play. I believe this is obvious to all. Since it is suitable for me, take it out during the season to help me get more. Isn't it better to win?"
"Then Ningshen, how did you come up with this style of play?"
Zhou Ning pulled away his smile and made a "shush" gesture.
The reporter stopped asking questions, and smiled and blessed, "I hope you have a smooth game and win the championship with the team."
The personal interview came to an end, and the reporters asked about the next game.
"Fengyue has successfully advanced to the semi-finals after defeating Sukura today, and the next schedule has not yet been determined, but if Fengyue wants to win the championship, she will inevitably encounter Rider. Do you have the confidence to defeat the Rider team?"
The Rider team just achieved three consecutive world championships last year. It is recognized by the world as the strongest team in the world. It has a long history and a good reputation. It is a favorite to win the championship every year.
Song Xueyang did not change his expression, "Of course, Fengyue is not afraid of any team. However, we may not meet each other, right?"
In the first round of the quarter-finals, Rider's opponent was Xiaolang. This game, known as the finals level, attracted the attention of fans all over the world. The losing team will miss the semi-finals.
When the Korean reporter saw Song Xueyang, his eyes were filled with hostility, and everyone in Fengyue raised their hearts.
It's over, if we lose the game, this interview will be enough for the reporters to harass them for a year.
After the reporter's interview, everyone from Fengyue rushed to the competition site. The match between Xiaolang and Rider had already started. The big screen showed 1:0, and Xiaolang had won the first 2V2 victory.
Shi Yi sat up straight, his eyes shining brightly.
Fan Jingming shook his hand, "Xiaolang will win."
Shi nodded, and Guan He just flashed on the big screen. He whispered, "It has always been Guan's dream to defeat Rider and win the world championship."
He wasn't very loud, but everyone listened carefully.
"Close team rarely communicates with us except in training. He has a separate training room and is very strict with the players. Every time we lose a game, he will point out our problems severely, but everyone has never blamed him, we all know him. It's for the good of the team. But only when he lost to the Rider team, he wouldn't say anything, Vice Team Tang said, because he thought the loss to Rider was his own reason, and he wouldn't blame others for his own problems."
"Deputy Tang also said that Guan's family has always wanted him to retire. The reason why he insisted on it until now is to defeat Rider. I hope he can win."
Zhou Ning lowered his head and looked at the screen again. He knew better than anyone that this was Guan He's last chance.
The second 1V1, at this time, has reached the second fight, Tang Wenlang VS Jin Chengjun.
Rider obviously changed the order of the 1V1 arena, allowing the ace Jin Chengjun to avoid the guarding Guan He, and he chose to fight with Tang Wenlang next.
As the world's No. 1 qigong master, Jin Chengjun is also known as the King of Solo in the ring. In terms of strength, he is on the same level as Guan He. Tang Wenlang is considered a top god in China, but compared with these world-class god-level players, there is still a slight gap. In addition, the first fight An Lu lost with a 20% HP difference. Tang Wenlang's fight was even more difficult. , and left half of his blood for Jin Chengjun when he finally ended up.
Guan He played against this almost irreparable gap.
"Oh, it's too hard to fight against the team. In fact, Night has already worked hard to drain Spade's HP. However, Qigong masters have their own HP and good battery life, so there's nothing they can do."
Guan He and Jin Chengjun fought extremely fiercely. They are currently the two most famous solo solo players. They are no different in strength, and their skills are more beautiful than each other, which makes the audience excited.
When Jin Chengjun came off the court, Guan He also lost half of his health, but he didn't make a single double big move, and this match with Jin Chengjun was equivalent to a draw.
Rider's defender is Lee Seung Won.
Song Xueyang understood when he saw Li Shengyuan playing, "Rider did it on purpose, Captain Zheng wanted Li Shengyuan to defeat Guan He."
Shen Huai frowned slightly, "Li Shengyuan is the second-ranked swordsman in the world. He has been beaten by the Guan team for several years. It seems that adjusting the order of appearances is just a pretense. The real purpose is to let Li Shengyuan defeat the Guan team."
Hai Xing asked, "But even if Li Shengyuan wins two consecutive battles, he may not be able to get the title of the world's number one swordsman. Isn't the official world ranking of "City of Despair" always fair?"
Shen Huai explained, "Although it may not be the world's No. 1, it is at least an opportunity. No matter how bad it is, it will be very beneficial for Spade to maintain the world's No. 1 Solo King."
Hai Xing said indignantly, "This is too dark!"
Shi Yi shook his head, "This is normal. Improving the reputation and status of players while ensuring the team's victory is a win-win for the team. And they are also won through fair competition. E-sports is not a one-person arena. "
Zhou Ning's expression was as normal as usual, but his eyes were much deeper than usual.
Hai Xing said anxiously, "That Guan team is not over, Li Shengyuan is the second-ranked swordsman in the world, and Guan team only has half of his blood left, so he will definitely not be able to beat it!"
"Not necessarily," Zhou Ning said suddenly, "he said, don't be blinded by the difference in blood volume in front of you, the key is to see how many skills you have, how many skills the enemy has, and how much damage you can deal before the enemy fights back. Most of them are here, he is Guan He who is full of blood."
Everyone fell silent in unison.
Li Shengyuan probably thought that Guan He would lose without a doubt. This game was very frantic. When he pressed Guan He's blood to 10%, he still had 60% of his blood, and the huge advantage was already in his hands.
He directly hit "88" on the public screen, and then rushed in front of Dao Guan He with a move of "drawing the sword out of the scabbard". Guan He reacted very quickly and jumped behind him with a sword flash when he shot. A backhand sword stunned him.
Then he ramped up his hand speed, a set of combos followed by the Wave Treading Sword, and the three-stage repelling just kept Li Shengyuan under control.
Li Shengyuan wanted to counterattack after releasing the control state, but Guan He had expected it long ago, and he directly used his ultimate move, Sword Dance and Setting Sun, to successfully evade his skills. the second victory.
Chinese audiences were excited, and Zhou Ning was relieved to see the word "victory" on the screen.
Xiaolang was the first to enter the match point, but the next game was even more difficult. The Rider team turned the tide and won two 6v6 and one 2v2, and defeated Xiaolang with a score of 3:2 to advance to the semi-finals.
The former world runner-up Xiaolang team stopped in the top eight in the world championship of the S6 season.
This news caused quite a stir in the country, because Xiaolang was originally the team with the most hope of winning the championship, and it was also the strongest of the three teams that entered the World Championship. Now Xiaolang has not even made it to the semi-finals. There is no hope for Maple Moon and WG.
Even though Fengyue had defeated Xiaolang in the group stage, netizens were not as optimistic about the sudden rise of Fengyue as the veteran team Xiaolang, and they couldn't help but say something when they were disappointed with Xiaolang.
Zhou Ning made an excuse to go to the bathroom and ran out ahead of time to wait at the waiting area. After a while, Guan He and his team members retired from the stage.
They didn't say a word, the atmosphere was gloomy, and everyone's face was filled with unconcealed disappointment. It was obvious that they had never thought of stopping at the top eight.
Guan He saw Zhou Ning as soon as he looked up. He asked his teammates to go back first and walked in front of Zhou Ning himself.
Zhou Ning looked at him and didn't know what to say. He could see that Guan He tried his best, but the result was not satisfactory.
"Did you… tell them?"
Guan He said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about it later."
Zhou Ning nodded, thinking about it, it was already very uncomfortable to get the worst result in history. If he learned that the captain was going to retire, the team members would probably be in a state of despair.
The two were silent for a moment, and Guan He suddenly asked, "Are you disappointed?"
Zhou Ning's heart with mixed feelings was suddenly pulled together, he stepped forward and hugged Guan He, "No, you will always be my pride."
"I'll stay to watch your game," Guan He patted his arm, "Come on, come to the end."
Zhou Ning tightened his arms and nodded heavily.
The two didn't chat for too long, Guan He still had to lead the team for an interview, Zhou Ning came out after washing his face, and Hai Xing was looking for him in a hurry.
"Brother Ning, you can figure it out! The result of the draw for the semi-finals is out!"
The match between Xiaolang and Rider is the last game of the quarter-finals. At this time, the teams that advance to the quarter-finals are Fengyue, Rider, ACK and WG.
Zhou Ning had a hunch, "Is it Rider?"
Starfish froze, "How do you know?!"
The so-called enemy's road is narrow is the truth.
Zhou Ning smiled lightly, "I still don't know the luck of the fox's lottery?"
Haixing muttered, "What a stinky fox, he shouldn't be allowed to draw lots."
"So WG and ACK fight?"
"Well, ACK won the championship before Rider, and WG won't be a good match. If we also lose... The finals will be a match between two Korean teams."
"Oh, this is not like what our stars would say." Zhou Ning rubbed Hai Xing's head, his eyes changed slightly, "The finals can also be a contest between two Chinese teams."
Zheng Zhiyi took the players away from the exit passage of the players. They just won the game and they didn't look very happy. It seemed that victory was common to them, and defeat was unforgivable.
Shen Huai walked towards him alone, and the eyes of everyone in the Rider fell on him.
At this time, the opponents of the semi-finals have been decided, and they will be the enemies in the next game.
Zheng Zhiyi didn't speak, and glanced coldly at Shen Huai, as if guessing his purpose.
The distance between them was getting shorter and shorter, and when they passed by, Shen Huai stopped and said in English, "How do you want to adjust the order of playing in the next game?"
Li Shengyuan stared, obviously feeling that Shen Huai's words were mocking him.
Zheng Zhiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and Jin Chengjun shrugged, "I don't care, if you want to fight, I'll fight with you."
"Then we will meet first." Shen Huai walked away without looking sideways after saying this.
Everyone in the Rider looked back at him, Zheng Zhiyi asked, "Are you confident to beat him?"
Jin Chengjun yawned, "Almost."
Speaking of which, last time Baozhen seemed to say that Snow invited her to join the team, and he had to personally check the strength of Fengyue.
Thinking of this, Jin Chengjun moved his stiff neck.
