For Love of the Game

Chapter 207: Maple Moon VS Rider

Views:

After WG defeated ACK to determine the place in the finals, netizens were happy. Although WG may not be able to win the championship, at least the runner-up was stabilized.

In contrast, netizens' criticism of the Xiaolang team has never ended.

As the most promising Chinese team to win the championship, the team with high expectations also bears the pressure of public opinion with its responsibilities.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the loss of Xiaolang to Rider is a matter of strength, and there is no way to do it. Tracing the source or losing to Fengyue in the group stage, the team qualified for the second place in the group stage. The reason why they met the Rider team early .

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Their experience also made the e-sports players in the circle very sentimental.

After the match between WG and ACK, it was the match between Maple Moon and Rider.

The Korean people are full of confidence in this team that has been recognized as the strongest team in the world in recent years. The Korean media even predicted in advance that Rider's road to the championship will be defeated by three Chinese teams in a row.

Chinese netizens' voices for Fengyue's victory over Rider are not as high as Xiaolang at the beginning, which is a good thing in terms of player pressure, but they all know that if they really lose, the result will not be better than Xiaolang.

-Fengyue defeated Rider after Xiaolang!

This title sounds shameful, not only will they reveal their previous victory over WG, but it is estimated that they will have difficulty for their own team. It is better to lose to Xiaolang in the group stage, so Xiaolang at least And reach the quarterfinals.

It sounds like a rhetoric, but sometimes a lot of people are justified. When netizens hold you up, you are a god, and when they step on you, they are really unscrupulous.

"Don't worry about the rhythm on the Internet, whether you win or lose, just enjoy the game to the fullest."

Before the game, Zhang Jiayan sent them a video to cheer them on.

Shen Huai was moved. To enjoy the game, only Zhang Jiayan can say this, and only he can enjoy the process regardless of the result.

The old god Song Xueyang said in the tunnel, "With me here, why are you worried?"

Zhang Jiayan said bluntly, "No matter how good you are, you can't reach the ring, and you have to rely on Feather God to fight Spade."

Song Xueyang pretended to be angry, "Yan team, are you looking down on our Maple Moon teamfight?"

Zhang Jiayan also quickly got the way to answer, "Yes! I just look down on it! If you have the ability, compete with me in the finals!"

"You will take advantage of it, let us fight Rider, if you have the ability, fight yourself!"

"If you lose, I will definitely fight."

"Then you think too much, let's keep this wish until next year."

The two of you quarreled with each other, and Shen Huai felt a lot more relieved when he saw them.

Since he joined Maple Moon, he has played dozens of games, big and small, but this is the first time that he has a pressure that is like a big enemy, and everything is unknown.

Zhang Jiayan said sternly, "Seriously, Yushen, Spade is Rider's biggest trump card. If you can't defeat him, Fengyue has no hope of winning. Have you thought of a countermeasure to defeat him?"

After returning to China after the wild card competition, Shen Huai received Jin Chengjun's gauntlet. The game ended with Shen Huai admitting defeat and surrendering. It can be said that Jin Chengjun was the cold water when he was boiling, and he was a pot when he was at the peak of 1v3. Deducting it makes his previous victories seem worthless.

"I'm fifty percent sure."

Shen Huai's eyes showed no emotion, and his voice was light. Zhang Jiayan's heart sank, but Shen Huai continued to say, "But the other way around, so does he."

Zhang Jiayan suddenly showed a hearty smile and held out his fist at them across the screen, "See you in the finals, I will bring the players to the scene to cheer you on."

Jia Yunge pressed the doll at the right time and gave a thumbs up, "Come on! Come on!"

At the same time, Zhou Ning was also making a video with Guan He.

He was wearing casual clothes, standing in the corner of the corridor, looking at Guan He, who also took off the team uniform of the Xiaolang team on the other side of the screen, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Guan He has been busy handing over the affairs of the team for a while now, he and Tang Wenlang have been determined to retire at the same time, which makes the players in the team a little unacceptable.

"Come on in the game at night, no matter how strong Rider is, it's not a hundred battles. Your level has improved a lot, and you can be comparable to the first-class gods. Keep calm, seize the opportunity, and don't care what others say, the last two years , do whatever you want."

Zhou Ning nodded and looked into Guan He's eyes, but was speechless.

He wanted to ask, what about you

But he didn't ask, because now he is not qualified to sympathize with Guan He at all. Even if the hero is dead, Guan He's achievements are beyond his reach.

"Come on." Guan He said again.

Zhou Ning took a deep breath, "Don't worry, neither Fengyue nor I will lose."

That night, the semi-final of Maple Moon VS Rider attracted much attention. Players from both sides entered the waiting room early, and this battle of life and death for the trophy excited all the audience.

The voice of the Korean commentator revealed an indescribable excitement.

"Finally waited for this game, the ultimate showdown between the dark horse team FM of this year's World Championship and the old champion team Rider! Because the players on both sides are strong, this game is really full of highlights."

"First of all, Rider's team battles are the world's No. 1 magician, Zheng Zhiyi Heart, and the world's No. 2 gunslinger, Diamond. These two are the core of Rider's team battle, and they are the top two with the highest output in major competitions last year. name!"

The audience cheered and applauded.

"After that, there are two leaders in the Rider arena stage, the world's No. 1 Qigong master and Spade, who is currently the one with the highest single-player Solo win rate! And, the Magician ranks second in the world, and has laid the foundation for the element master's dominance in the arena Club. !"

These four are the strongest players in the Rider team, Spade is the strongest in singles, and the other three are indistinguishable. The game IDs of the four kings are also derived from the four suits of playing cards. Captain Zheng Zhiyi, Heart Heart, Ace Kim Seungjun, Spade, Gunner, Diamond, Elementalist, Club Club.

The four not only have a good relationship, but their technical level is also top-notch. Under the intentional marketing of the club, they have attracted countless fans, and they have become the four most popular players in the world today, but among them, Jin Chengjun is the most.

There is no other reason, young and good-looking.

Yao Jun heard the introduction from the Korean commentator, and added, "The four kings of the Rider team are all ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the world, but in fact, there are many factors that are considered in the world ranking. It depends on the winning percentage of the players and the ranking of the team. For example, if Yushen joins a bad team and only plays one game a year, and his personal winning percentage is 100%, which is higher than all the players, then he is the No. 1 player in the world. One? Of course not, because his team lost the first game and ranked last."

"So we will find that the top ranked players in the world are basically from the top ranked teams. Team Rider has won three championships in a row, and it is easy for players to get a good personal ranking. In contrast, like Team Guan for five consecutive championships Being named the world's No. 1 swordsman in 2018 is the real strength."

Yao Jun's remarks were unanimously praised by Xiaolang fans in the live broadcast room, but there were also some rhythmic black fans in the sour Xiaolang Wannian's second child.

The Korean commentator continued, "The FM team is also full of masters. Although they don't have a world ranking yet, they have achieved a lot along the way. Snow, a god-level sniper with an extreme range of 2000 meters, has just defeated the world's number one assassin and a duel in the arena. Wing, who has yet to lose…”

Speaking of which, the fans at the scene couldn't help screaming.

"There is also the explosive little prince Eleven who has a keen sense of hearing and superb walking skills, and Ning who has added points with full strength, explosive output and even single-killed the first swordsman Sky Wolf on the sidewalk! They are also the four major players who brought us wonderful performances. Heavenly King, this game is destined to be a strong duel!"

After the players are ready, the big screen begins to draw the competition sequence, 6V6, 6V6, 2V2, 1V1, 2V2.

The commentators from various countries said invariably, "Wow, the opening is two 6V6 games!"

6V6 is enjoyable for the audience to watch, but it is very energy-consuming for the players. 6V6 two-match is a sort of higher difficulty.

The Korean commentator is full of confidence in Rider, "This match arrangement is very unfavorable for Fengyue. The 1V1 arena where Wing can play its role is arranged in the fourth match. If it is 3:0 by Rider, it will be GG... "

Before he could finish speaking, a new message appeared on the screen, the first 6V6 mode - rescue the hostages!

The cheers of the audience broke through the sky immediately. Hostage rescue is the mode that brings the most uncertainties to the game. He is completely different from the traditional team battle. In the hostage rescue mode, it is not uncommon for the weak to defeat the strong. Teams with too many support players are also even more disadvantaged.

"Wow! Rescue the hostages!" Niu Niu blurted out, "Fengyue has hope! As long as we can win this team battle in the BO5 format of the World Championship, and win two more arenas, we are very hopeful to win!"

Niuniu's words are not unreasonable. From the team battle lineup, Rider's dual support has no meat, and the two support professions are the most difficult black spells and healing lights of Maple Moon! It is very difficult to win in 6v6, and the probability of winning three in a row is too small.

The hostage rescuable mode is different. The dual auxiliary lineup is very disadvantageous in this mode. It is like a 1V1 wheel battle in another mode. In addition, Song Xueyang's tactical command is definitely a green light for the maple moon!

The Korean commentator quickly changed his words, "Rescue the hostages, it seems that the goddess of luck tonight is on Fengyue's side. I wonder if they can keep this luck."

The photographer turned the camera to the viewing area at the right time. William was looking at the big screen with his chin up. When he saw himself suddenly appearing on the screen, he hurriedly threw the sign with "Wing" in his hand under Jonathan's seat beside him.

Fans in the audience screamed and shouted his name.

William blushed and said to Jonathan, "Keep your sign! You've put me on the big screen!"

The camera has photographed the players watching the battle area one by one, and not only the ERO team, but also Show Time, PD, Sukura, and China's WG and Xiaolang, it can be said that almost all the players participating in the World Championship are present.

Zhang Jiayan and Guan He sat at the front, cheering for this compatriot's battle.

"Rescuing the hostages, hehe, they are indeed lucky." Zheng Zhiyi smiled and turned his eyes back from the big screen, "But it may not be a disaster, this time I stay, Club you will take command. Xiaojun, listen to the command. "

Jin Chengjun said lazily, "OK."

Song Xueyang on Fengyue's side also fell into contemplation. After some deliberation, he said, "As soon as this time is left, the rest will follow me to 6V6."

The captains of both sides submitted the list at the same time, and the lineup of Maple Moon was first displayed on the big screen.

Niu Niu said in surprise, "Snow God actually let Zhou Jing's white spell replace Shi Yi's element! It's still taboo to let the assistant play in the hostage rescue mode, right?"

Zhang Jiayan and Guan He, who had played against Song Xueyang for many years, both saw his plan.

In the hostage rescue mode, 1/3 depends on luck, 1/3 depends on tactical command, and the last 1/3 depends on strength. At least one of the two supporters of the Rider team is going to play, so Maple Moon also sends a supporter with the same probability, and it can also provide better help when playing in a team.

As for why Shi Yi was the one who replaced him, it was obviously because he wanted to take out Shi Yi and Fan Jingming's demolition combination in 2V2. If there are two team battles in a row, then 2V2 and 1V1 can only choose one to play, and both of them need his strength.

Then, Rider's appearance list was displayed on the big screen. It was shocking that Rider sent two assistants, but Zheng Zhiyi, the main C, didn't play!

Not only were the audience shocked, but even the commentator didn't understand the intention of his arrangement.

Zhang Jiayan asked, "Captain Guan, what do you think Heart is thinking? Pure confidence?"

Guan He and Zheng Zhiyi have been competing for a long time. The two have been old enemies for many years. Guan He is very clear about his character. This person is not only confident, but also likes to attack the confidence of others. In the match with Xiaolang, he deliberately let Li Shengyuan Shou Lei and their duel is the best example.

"He wants to defeat Fengyue in the second 6V6, or, in other words, he wants to take 3:0."

If Zheng Zhiyi didn't play in the first 6V6, then the second team battle Fengyue would have to challenge is Rider's strongest all-star lineup, including Zheng Zhiyi, who is terrifyingly powerful and fully recharged.

Zhang Jiayan frowned slightly and meditated in his heart, Come on, Fengyue.

At this point, the players on both sides had entered the soundproof room, deployed their talent skills, and were making the final deployment.

A beep sounded, the lights on the stage went out completely, and the LCD screen in the center showed the loading screen at the same time.

At the end of the reading, the Son of Destiny on both sides appeared in the safe area, and a deafening scream broke out at the scene.

"Wing! Spade!" the Korean commentator shouted in excitement, "They were chosen as free men at the same time! This is definitely not a coincidence, but fate!"

The bottom corner of the screen shows the players in the soundproof room of both sides. They don't seem to know who the other side's free man is, but soon the expressions of the players on both sides have obviously changed.

"Wing?"

"Spade?"

Song Xueyang said, "Hold on, Spade's output is faster than yours, save the nearest teammate first."

Club said, "Our team members are closer to your position, save Li Shengyuan first!"

In a mode like rescuing hostages against time and time, it is a routine operation to rescue teammates with fast movement speed and strong self-protection ability first.

Jin Chengjun ran to the entrance of the pentagram formation, glanced at the teammates on both sides, and suddenly said.

"I've watched Wing's domestic game, and one of them is rescuing the hostages..."

He speaks slowly, and at this juncture, it can be terrifying. Club doesn't wait for him to finish before collapsing and saying, "What are you trying to say? God Spade, God Spade, hurry up and save the team, isn't it?"

However, Jin Chengjun continued to say slowly, "He likes to kill free people directly. When I saw it, I thought... give it a try."

Before he finished speaking, the boxer on the screen ran towards the enemy's nest like an arrow from a string, and Club shouted from the side, "Jin Chengjun! Come back to me, kid! You forgot what the captain said? Believe it or not, I will report to Cui Baozhen. !"

Jin Chengjun turned a deaf ear, and had already run past the iconic fountain in the center of the map, getting closer and closer to Shen Huai's position.

The audience at the scene was boiling, and the Korean commentator exclaimed, "Spade rushed towards Wing! He plans to fight Wing directly! The exit on Wing's side is a bit far from his teammate's position, and Spade can catch up here!"

Shen Huai learned the news from his teammates as early as when Jin Chengjun was halfway through his run. He glanced at the health of the dwarf guard in front of him, knowing that it was too late, and immediately drove out of stealth to hide.

When Jin Chengjun arrived, he only saw a half-blooded dwarf guard, and there was absolutely no shadow of Shen Huai around.

He moved the headset closer, "Which side finds Wing and tell me in time."

At the same time, he stood between Zhou Ning and Hai Xing.

This is the only place in Maple Moon where teammates are imprisoned next to each other. The rest of the locations are one Maple Moon team member and one Rider team member interspersed with each other. As long as Shen Huai appears, Jin Chengjun will be able to grasp his movements as soon as possible.

Club has gone from the initial collapse to the broken jar. "They are all optimistic about the adjacent pillars. Once they find Wing, they will immediately report the number!"

Shen Huai was hovering nearby, and when he saw Jin Chengjun's position, he knew that he would not give up unless he had a fight with him.

"Come on." Song Xueyang said, "Come on."

This sentence is like lifting the ban on Shen Huai's sealed power. He came behind Jin Chengjun and wanted to play a double combo first, but Jin Chengjun's reaction was too fast to let him release two skills. He quickly changed his strategy. Start a move to capture the soul!

Death Mark-Assassination-Blood Blade-Ghost Blade-Dark Sword!

Hearing a crisp and loud sound of a blade, the black-robed assassin had completed a round of attack and turned to retreat.

The audience cheered for the two men's early duel.

After Jin Chengjun released the control, he took a step in the direction of Shen Huai's running away. With one move, the tiger with the extreme distance grabbed him back to his side, and slammed his back to the ground. The shot was eight heavy punches - meteor fist!

"Spade threw the big move Meteor Fist! This combo directly lowered Wing's HP by 40%! Anyone in the hands of Spade's boxer has only the fate of being infinitely combo!"

Jin Chengjun didn't hesitate to start, and he practiced the boxer's combination skills to the pinnacle.

In the state of harmony between man and nature, every attack will briefly stun the surrounding enemies. Shen Huai was just getting up from the ground when he was knocked down by him in the mountains and rivers. It is possible for ordinary people to die directly under this set of tricks.

But Shen Huai is a master, he grabbed the gap between Jin Chengjun's combo and rolled back to escape, then drove off quickly.

The deterrent effect of the unity of heaven and man is too strong, he will be dizzy again if he can't walk two steps quickly, while he is running, he is careful of Jin Chengjun's Huanglong claws. At this time, his health is still 30%, a set of double The attack can almost press his HP to about 15%. If he is really stuck at 10% of the excellent HP attack, he is not sure that he can win.

Shen Huai did not attack, and Jin Chengjun was not in a hurry to shoot. The two briefly maintained the tranquility before the storm. Shen Huai suddenly rolled back, and Jin Chengjun took a left step and hit the foot of Mount Tai at the same time.

Shen Huai's reaction was extremely fast, and with a stab, he instantly evaded the skill and cut behind Jin Chengjun. He raised the knife and dropped the death mark, capturing his soul!

There was a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

Shen Huai quickly finished the combo of Death Mark, then played Shadow Mark, rolled back while Jin Chengjun released his control, and threw out the shuriken.

The first thing Kim Seung-joon did after his dizziness disappeared was to throw out his signature skill - Yellow Dragon Claw!

Shen Huai's double combo can keep a safe distance from the enemy after a round of output, because he is fast enough, even if the position of the foothold is exposed, it is difficult for the enemy to react and hit in such a short time.

But Jin Chengjun was different. He had a reaction ability that rivaled Shen Huai's. Even 0.1 second was enough for him to determine the direction.

As soon as Shen Huai was invisible, he was grabbed by Huang Long's claw, which was accurately predicted by this move, and was instantly pulled to Jin Chengjun's side. Such a familiar scene was exactly the same as the script when the two played solo online before!

Shen Huai's health was less than 20% when he was caught, and this combo easily triggered his redemption, but at this time Jin Chengjun's health was also suppressed to 40%.

Shen Huai's Blade Flurry has been used in the previous double-hit, and he has not yet created a shadow clone. Obviously, the last skill is on the dance of death, the ultimate ultimate move, and Jin Chengjun's current health is just right in him Within the range of instant kill, but his general skill Wu Qin Xi has not been used yet.

In the previous Solo, Jin Chengjunka played Wuqinxi before Shen Huai's Soul Conqueror. He just milked his own blood to Shen Huai's set of combos, and there was still 3% left. The accurate damage calculation ability was chilling.

Shen Huai took advantage of the time of redemption and immunity to raise his hand to capture the soul. He needed to complete the combo within 1 second. Of course, he could not hesitate, but Jin Chengjun also played Wu Qin Xi at the same time to increase his blood volume to 48%. !

In order to restrain Shen Huai's skills, he specially adjusted the blood volume of Wuqinxi. The full-level Wuqinxi combined with the talent of strengthening blood can provide a qigong master with a blood increase effect of about 40%. If you strengthen the blood increase, the blood increase will be much less.

Shen Huai realized in an instant that after his combo was over, Jin Chengjun's HP would stay at around 5%, and he would no longer be able to fight the soul capture.

He immediately changed the combo and replaced the last skill Death Dance with a lower-damage shuriken, which only reduced Jin Seung-jun's HP to 20%, so that he could wait for the next wave after the CD of Soul Destroyer was finished. Attack again. It's a pity that he just used the death mark, which failed to provide him with a stealth state, but as long as there is still a way to do it, what if the back road is cut off

It's just a master move, and a moment's hesitation will affect the battle.

Shen Huai paused for a moment, and even his moves were a few tenths of a second slower than usual. Jin Chengjun, who had released his control, immediately killed him with one move. Shen Huai didn't wait for the next attack at all!

-Spade killed Wing!

This exciting system prompt made the audience go crazy, and the Korean commentator stood up and shouted, "Spade won Wing! He ended the myth of Wing's solo solo winning streak! He is the world's No. 1 Solo king. Well deserved!"

The American commentator who had witnessed Shen Huai's strength in the wild card tournament shook his head regretfully, "I didn't expect Wing to be unable to beat Spade. The Korean players are really strong."

As for Korean netizens, they have already blown away Spade.

[Spade is too strong! Forever NO.1! Wing is still far behind him!]

[God has eyes! I've been worried about Spade losing since last night, what a great Spade! ! You are the pride of my Korean nation!]

[I already said that Spade would win. When Sky Wolf won the unstoppable number one swordsman in the world, you were worried that Spade would lose, but it turned out that Spade won! The same is true of Wing now, Korean e-sports is the strongest!]

Shen Huai left the table with both hands and said softly, "I'm sorry."

"I don't blame you, Shen Huai!" Hai Xing said first, "Although I have nothing to compare with you, I was killed when I was a free agent before, but you turned the tide and won the victory, you won for the team. So many times, to say sorry, we should say more!"

No one would have thought that the starfish, who had always known only Chongchongchong, could say such touching words. During this year's stumbling and stumbling, winning and losing, what has grown is not only technical operation, but also his will.

Song Xueyang showed a faint smile, "Don't give up before the game is over, this is just the first game."

"it is good!"

"Come on, come on!"

"Shen Huai, don't worry, we will never let the game end before 1v1!"

Everyone knew that the free man was killed in battle, and Jin Chengjun was not Xiao Zhang, so there was no hope for this match.

Li Shengyuan of the Rider team has always been a restless type. After Shen Huai was killed, he typed directly on the public screen.

[ALL][Lemon]:GG

His ID is Lemon, lemon, and he belongs to the typical type who loses without saying a word, and wins all kinds of mouthpieces. Chinese netizens say that he is like his name and is an out-and-out lemon essence.

Zhou Ning looked at the "GG" on the screen, remembered the pretentious "88" when Li Shengyuan and Guan He Solo yesterday, and tapped Enter to call out the chat box.

[ALL][Ning]: Lemon, one on one.
