"Hello everyone on the scene and in the live broadcast room, there are still 20 minutes before the official start of the game. Tonight, the two teams that will compete for life and death at our "City of Despair" national finals venue are last year's national finals. Team Maple Moon, the fourth-ranked popular team! And, Team Supper, which ranked sixth in the country last year!”
The two fans cheered enthusiastically.
The venue for the national finals is much larger than the group stage, with a three-story surround audience stand and six LED high-definition viewing screens. The cheers of the audience seem to have their own reverberation. Looking down from the commentary platform, it seems to be watching the city from an airplane. Night scene, full of star lights.
"The online voting window closed ten minutes ago, and the support rate of Team Maple Moon is 0.5 times that of Team Supper. Ouch, this number is not common in the quarterfinals."
Yao Jun said, "That's right, since Cangyu joined Maple Moon, Maple Moon can be said to be in a rush. Niu Niu and I have followed Team Maple Moon from the group stage. After joining three new members, the strength of this team is incomparable. Words. Supper can be said to be very difficult to fight.”
Niu Niu nodded, "What do you think of Sister Orange?"
Orange is wearing a light gray suit today. She has a tall and straight manner, a capable temperament, and the otaku goddess and goddess with millions of fans is not a vain name.
"I'm more optimistic about Fengyue." Her voice was also different from the sweet and pleasant voice during the live broadcast, her words were formal and formal, "Not to mention Cang Yu's personal strength, the remaining old members of Fengyue are also They are all outstanding players who have experienced Captain Song's two major reshuffles. Vice Team Zhou, Xiao Ming, and Xingxing all had outstanding performances in last year's professional competition."
As soon as Niu Niu guesses, she will mention Zhou Ning. It is no secret that Juzi likes Zhou Ning in the circle, but her popularity is not bad, no one gossips, and few of her fans know about her.
"There is another interesting thing about this game, everyone must know that Sun Yuan, an active member of the Supper team, was a veteran of the Maple Moon team. During the transfer period last year, Sun Yuan jumped to Supper when Maple Moon had already left two main candidates. It also made Captain Song's situation worse. Sun Yuan fought for Fengyue for five years, and has always been the leader of the team's legal system, C, and must be very familiar with his old club."
Some people have already cut melons on the Internet. Although Sun Yuan switched to Supper after his contract with Fengyue expired, in fact, he had been in frequent contact with Manager Wang of the Supper team as early as during the national finals.
The manager of the Maple Moon team said in an interview that Sun Yuan pushed back his request to renew the contract. At that time, he thought that Sun Yuan was dissatisfied with the treatment of the new contract, but in fact he was waiting for the contract with Maple Moon to expire.
What made the manager of Fengyue even more excited was that Sun Yuan asked for a leave of absence for ten days due to an accident at home a few days before the contract expired. After that, he couldn't get through no matter how he called. It was only when he found out on Weibo that Sun Yuan had been signed off.
Although this revelation was strongly denied by the Supper team and Sun Yuan himself, the people who eat melons do not believe it. After all, the leave slips and call records are there, and Sun Yuan's behavior of taking off his old teammates at the first time after joining Supper also seems very strange. Homely.
So whether Sun Yuan stepped back and stepped on his old club, or Fengyue tore the traitor, it all depends on the result of this match.
Brother Kun attaches great importance to this game. He gets angry when he thinks that he had chased after Sun Yuan's ass as if he had coaxed his ancestors to talk about the contract. At that time, Sun Yuan put on a pretense and tried to find fault with Song Xueyang every day. He even let Song Xueyang endure it. Now that he thought about it, that grandson was just making fun of him.
"I won't say how important this game is. With our current strength, Supper is not our opponent at all. Everyone, please don't save your strength and slap that kid Sun Yuan to the ground."
"Understood!" "Don't worry, it will definitely make them doubt life!"
Seeing everyone's high fighting spirit, Brother Kun also calmed down and motioned Song Xueyang to speak.
Song Xueyang said with a smile, "This game is the first of our team's quarter-finals. Supper is not a very strong opponent, but there is no need to preserve his strength. The key is to show momentum. We have some grudges with Sun Yuan, but Remember, it's not why we have to win, but if we can't even beat Supper, there's no need to play the rest of the game."
Everyone who said something is very ashamed. They came here for the championship trophy. How can they only pretend to be a mere Sun Yuan in their eyes? Beating Supper is just the first step on their way, and there are many more steps ahead, WG, Snapdragon and even Worlds.
Seeing that the fun in everyone's eyes dissipated, Song Xueyang added, "There's no need to be too serious in the first round of the quarterfinals. Let's play a small game, hoping to arouse everyone's enthusiasm."
"In this game, no matter what mode, if you kill Sun Yuan for 500 times, you will be deducted 500 if you kill him once. The lower limit is zero. After the game, I will give everyone a red envelope."
Everyone: "… "
Don't be blinded by personal grudges! Didn't Sun Yuan just smash your computer? You are already buying murder! Are they the kind of people that can be bought with money
"OJ8K!"
Yes, they are.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the second game of the "City of Despair" national finals officially started.
The rules and mode of the national finals are in line with that of the World Championships, with a best-of-five game system, two games each of 6V6 and 2V2, and one game of 1V1.
At the beginning of the game, five game modes will be randomly selected on the big screen, of which the 1V1 mode will appear in the first three games. This is also to ensure that teams that are good at arena will not be eliminated in the first three games.
The drawing order of tonight's game is: 1V1, 6V6, 2V2, 2V2, 6V6.
Zhou Ning calmly stood up and rolled up his cuffs. He lowered his eyes and couldn't see his emotions, only the eyelashes that were dazzled by the light.
Hai Xing snorted, "Brother Ning, aren't you the third game?"
Song Xueyang came over, "Let Zhou Ning go up today."
Seeing the sequence of the games, the audience were all excited. Playing 1v1 first means that Cang Yu will be the first to appear. If you don't watch Cang Yu fight in the arena, it will be in vain to watch Fengyue's game.
"It's a bit difficult for Supper and Fengyue to play 1v1, because Supper is a team that mainly focuses on legal damage, and the legal damage may have some effect on Cang Yu's invisible body, but it lacks control and can't keep up with blood defense. Eating blue is a disadvantage compared to melee physics professional sparring."
Yao Jun nodded, "But Cang Yu shouldn't be able to get the sweet spot in the first fight. Fan Hao, the captain of the Supper team, is an elementalist. This profession has more lock-in skills, and Fan Hao's elementalist is suffocating. Flow, it's hard for an assassin to be invisible in front of him."
Ju Zi hurriedly said, "The teams for the first match of both sides have been submitted. Team Supper's first match is indeed Captain Fan's elemental master, the second match is Sun Yuan's ice technique, and the defending stage is swordsman. Bian's first fight... is Vice Team Zhou?!"
There was a burst of sighs from the audience. Since the start of the group stage, even since the S1 season, Zhou Ning has never played a 1v1 start. Because of his calm personality and stable performance, he is the best candidate for the defensive stage.
In this game, the entire Fengyue 1V1 lineup changed the order, Shen Huai played the second fight, and kept the fight.
No one expected this result, but after Yao Jun's analysis, it seemed very reasonable.
Ju Zi was very satisfied with Song Xueyang's arrangement, "Gouhuoliu assassins are not easy to fight against Elementalists, but swordsmen are more restrained in legal professions, especially Zhou's deputy team is an epee swordsman, on the basis of output, he also takes into account Defense, based on past experience in battles, the results of the match between Vice Team Zhou and Team Fan are all 50-50."
At this time, the two players had already entered the soundproof room. Fan Hao had no idea that Song Xueyang would send Zhou Ning to the court. He specially changed himself from the defender to the first fight to deal with Cang Yu, but Song Xueyang also changed Zhou Ning to the first fight
To be honest, Fan Hao was going to throw up when he beat Zhou Ning.
Both of them are defensive players. The rankings of the two teams are close. Every year, they have to play one or two games. In the 1V1 stage, he played against Zhou Ning. Fighting, even 6V6 Zhou Ning is the one responsible for following him.
In terms of strength, Fan Hao was better than Zhou Ning, but this gap was almost wiped out by his professional disadvantage. The two were inseparable in a fight. Winning or losing all depended on luck and state.
Fan Hao could only hope in his heart that Zhou Ning's condition was a little worse today.
This is precisely what everyone in Fengyue is most worried about, because Zhou Ning's condition in the past two days is not very good, the smile on his face is gone, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. A "I'm leaving".
Vice Captain Zhou has always been gentle and good-natured, and I have never seen him so stern.
Fan Jingming asked worriedly, "Is Zhou Ning all right?"
Song Xueyang just smiled. The human brain is a wonderful thing, and it often makes decisions that go against his heart at a certain moment, and he even calls it "reality".
Whether there is anything or not depends on how firm Zhou Ning's heart is.
Zhou Ning put his hand on the keyboard, and his sleeves rolled up to reveal his long white and slender arms. He quickly ordered the innate skill points, but it was not until the last minute that he took a deep breath and raised his hand.
Seeing this action, Niu Niu said, "This is the first time for Vice Team Zhou to start in the ring. Although Captain Fan is his old opponent, he is obviously still a little nervous."
Orange's eyes flickered, and he said firmly, "I believe in Vice Captain Zhou."
The five-second countdown ended, and the golden light, which symbolized the safe zone, faded, and the two players walked out of their birth points.
Zhou Ning jumped onto the ring and took a few steps forward, and the shadow of the Elementalist appeared in his field of vision.
He stopped.
Fan Hao, as a long-range professional, naturally wouldn't take the initiative to approach. He wondered what Zhou Ning was thinking about standing there, and he didn't see the referee pause. Obviously it wasn't an equipment failure. Zhou Ning's expression didn't look right when he came in the afternoon, could it be true? What's wrong
These thoughts just flashed in his mind, and Fan Hao quickly pressed the skill Water Dragon Roar, raging waves!
Occupations of the same branch show different play styles because of their different focus when adding skills.
The same elementalist, Shiyi's extra points are mostly in the thunder and lightning spell skills, relying on the water element state to superimpose the lightning damage to explode instantly, and the instant burst damage with the elemental master's ultimate move, the five thunders, is only ranked below the sniper.
Fan Hao's Elementalist is mainly based on water spells and superimposed suffocation state, which is characterized by slow output and enough stamina. Ten layers of suffocation state can make the enemy lose 5% of blood per second, and ignore defense and damage reduction, even if it is skin Under the ideal state of ten layers of suffocation, the rough and thick warrior would not last for half a minute.
The dragon king formed by the condensed water rushed straight towards Zhou Ning. The raging skill range hint had already formed under his feet, but Zhou Ning raised his hand at this time, and intertwined his fingers to break the joints.
Then he put his hand back on the keyboard, his eyes changed slightly, and he flicked the mouse to the upper right, and the swordsman on the screen rushed forward like an arrow from a string.
- Yufengxing!
Fan Hao immediately used arcane flashing to dodge, but Zhou Ning's epee came one after another, the Drunken Song Sword, Haoyue Slash, and Epee Slash!
Zhou Ning's specialty is to take A, the skill gap connects the basic attack and then shakes it after canceling the basic attack. A man's helpless trick.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Fan Hao hurriedly put a Lei Ling bodyguard on himself.
His Lei Ling body protection level is not as high as it is from time to time, and the damage reduction effect is not obvious, but the 1 second immunity after the body protection state ends is the same.
He took a second to hurriedly press the arcane flash to return to the original position, Zhou Ning turned around and slashed the mountain with one move, Fan Hao was knocked flying by this move before he could stand on the ground.
In addition to the instant flying, the Mountain Splitting also has a range deceleration effect. Zhou Ning took advantage of the gap to quickly cut in front of him.
The epee swordsman's wide-bladed sharp sword was surrounded by sword energy, and a whirlwind rolled up wherever the sword light went, forming a light blue light array, like the polar light in ice and snow.
The dazzling sword energy directly suppressed Fan Hao's blood volume to 50%, and all this happened in just a few seconds!
The spectators were stunned, not to mention the audience, even the three commentators were silent for a while.
Zhou Ning is a slow-heating player, and his condition is getting better and better as the standing time is prolonged. Because of his excellent psychological quality, he is also very good at consumption-type hard battles.
But in the first ten seconds of the game, he did not hesitate to use up two big moves, and there has never been a situation where two sets of combos have pressed the opponent to half blood!
Ju Zi was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled brightly, "Beautiful play! Deputy Team Zhou entered the best state at the beginning of the game today, predicting the enemy's position and controlling it by splitting the mountain and attacking, and instantly replaced 50% of Team Fan's blood!"
After realizing it, the fans stood up and shouted, and the cheering cards in their hands were only a blur of light, and screams from all directions echoed in the venue for a long time.
In the soundproof room, Sun Yuan frowned and pulled the manager into the corner, "You didn't take care of yourself?"
Manager Wang was so angry that the arteries in his neck protruded, "Damn, don't ask me!"
Zhou Ning's eyes were sharp, and his fingers flew quickly on the keyboard, as if the only way to dispel the anger in his heart—
"Don't worry, as long as you're a human being, there are times when you can't perform well. It's just one game. You can play again in August next year. You usually do your best for the team and no one will blame you, but if something goes wrong at this juncture, you life is a mess.”
He looked at the check on the table and asked for a long time, "Why me?"
Manager Wang was slightly startled, "What?"
Zhou Ning sneered, the smile in his eyes was completely replaced by Hanmang, he raised his head slightly, and he looked condescending and arrogant.
"I asked why you chose me? Why not Shen Huai, Hai Xing, Shi Yi, and Fan Jingming?"
Before waiting for Manager Wang to answer, he said coldly, "Let me tell you, because Hai Xing and Shi Yi only have wins in their eyes, and you can't buy it with any money. Shen Huai and Fan Jingming are stars and models. You can't afford it. So I'm the only one left. I hope to play all three games. I'm forced by life and desperately need money."
His voice was obviously not loud, but Manager Wang couldn't say a word when he was shocked. That soft and neutral face brought him no less oppression than any male at the moment.
"You want to buy and win, I don't care, but you find me, huh..."
The hand under the table was tightly clenched into a fist, as if there was only one last string left before the explosion, his eyes locked on Manager Wang like an ice thorn, and the words spit out from his thin lips were even more cold. Chills.
"The most unbearable thing in my life is being looked down upon. My family was poor, I was born in a county town, and I didn't go to college. At the age of 18, I came out alone to fight for my father who was seriously ill to provide for the living expenses of the whole family, but I didn't owe anyone a cent. Money, I have never made a penny of dirty money!"
"You find me, it is the biggest insult to me."
Manager Wang learned about Zhou Ning from Sun Yuan.
But he missed one thing - Zhou Ning's self-esteem.
When Zhou Jing became the main team member, Zhou Ning wanted to give gifts to Song Xueyang and Shen Huai. In the end, Song Xueyang confiscated it. Shen Huai's share was also given as a birthday gift. At that time, he had no money at all. To grit your teeth and do this is completely unwilling to owe favor.
A person who has to take the initiative to pay back double the loan interest rate of the bank for the same period even if he owes anything, no amount of money can buy him to bow his head.
Manager Wang touched his nose, and he didn't even look at Zhou Ning when he went out.
Zhou Ning was trembling with anger, as long as he thought that he would become the target of the match-fixing match, anger rose in his heart.
For two days in a row, he didn't even want to say a word. He just sat in front of the computer and wanted to follow the network cable to kill the Supper team. Let Manager Wang see what a stupid decision it was to find him.
Fan Hao lost the start in the arena. He had long been used to Zhou Ning's slow and warm style of play, but now he suddenly played so intensely that he couldn't keep up with his state, and the difference in blood volume was widened immediately.
Zhou Ning's face was tensed and slender fingers tapped the keyboard, making a pleasant sound.
Fan Hao retreated and fought, fighting against water, wind and rain, raging waves, and water spells hitting Zhou Ning one by one. Although the speed was slow, he finally added ten layers of suffocation, losing 3% of blood per second.
He seized the opportunity and suddenly opened up - five thunders hit the top!
Five green thunders fell from the sky, and the damage increased by the water state was even more explosive.
Zhou Ning's hand hung over the shortcut key of "Sword Qi Body Shield" early, waiting for Fan Hao to zoom in. The sword qi body shield's damage reduction state was useless against the suffocation effect, and it was still no problem to resist a big move.
A second before the first green thunder struck his head, a white light surrounded by sword energy shrouded him. This damage reduction state was activated in time, directly reducing 50% of the damage!
Yao Jun said beautifully, "The release time of this sword qi body protection is too accurate! Zhou Ning is not only in good condition, but his operation is also better than that of the group stage, and he has definitely reached the level of a quasi-first-line player! It seems that this year's swordsman career rankings will be reshuffled again, and now he is not inferior to the three swordsmen of Xiaolang!"
Fan Hao gritted his teeth, and the keyboard was cracked by him. Seeing Zhou Ning cut over, he quickly pressed the arcane spell and flashed.
However, it was 0.1 second too late. The swordsman's drunken song sword hit him first to trigger a silent state. Fan Hao's Arcane Flickering move was stunned and didn't come out.
Haoyue Slash, Epee Slash, Sword Point to the End of the World!
In order to deal with the agile elementalists, Zhou Ning specially took half of the attribute points originally added to attack and blood to agility. The movement speed was fast and the attack speed was also accelerated a lot, and the three sword moves were smooth. Connected to the ground, and directly took Fan Hao away with only a trace of blood left.
There was a burst of excited cheers on the field, and Niu Niu clapped his hands three times in a row.
"Ning Shen's shot was quick and neat, the fast break style was a new attempt for him personally, but obviously his old opponent couldn't keep up with the rhythm. Team Fan was a little confused in this game, and the starting HP was too disadvantageous. Big, although the suffocation state is stacked up in the later stage, the gap in blood volume still cannot be recovered, and Ning Shen's fight caught Team Fan by surprise!"
Ju Zi smiled and said in a proud tone, "That's right, Vice Team Zhou usually gives everyone the impression that he is a stable player, even a type that is relatively weak in the early stage, but this time he used his strength to prove to us that he has overcome his own. Weaknesses, a big step forward.”
At the back of the auditorium, Guan He stood in the corner with a smile on his frosty face.
He knew that Zhou Ning would not let him down, it was the look of being so arrogant and unwilling to bow his head no matter what he had experienced that deeply attracted him.
As for the photos that Manager Wang hired someone to take, I'll leave it to Song Xueyang to deal with it. After all, Zhou Ning is his team member. I believe that with Song Fox's character of protecting his shortcomings, Manager Wang will definitely suffer a lot.
Everyone in Fengyue looked happy, and Hai Xing and Brother Kun stood in front of the spectator screen and slapped their hands with excitement.
Brother Kun felt as if he had just come out of the steam room, and his whole body was at ease, "Relieve! Zhou Ning is really trying to help brother!"
Hai Xing jumped, "Ah! Vice-team Zhou is so cool! I'm going to play too!"
Song Xueyang and Shen Huai looked at each other with relief in their eyes.
Song Xueyang smiled slightly. Ever since he received the photo last night, he had a vague feeling that Zhou Ning did not agree to this matter.
Otherwise, why would that person send him photos to shake the military's heart
Of course, more is his knowledge of his old teammate.
Zhou Ning is a person with a stubborn soul wrapped in a gentle appearance. When he first joined the team, he couldn't even understand how to play with the computer, and he has not complained to anyone in the team for so many years.
Zhou Ning was the first person to let Song Xueyang understand how far a person's self-esteem can support him.
Shen Huai didn't know that much about Zhou Ning, and Song Xueyang had never told him Zhou Ning's story.
But he has only two words for this vice-captain who treats others gently and takes care of himself everywhere - trust.
Amid the cheers, Supper's second-best player, Sun Yuan, faced off against Zhou Ning. In fact, the ice technique was more restrained, but fortunately Zhou Ning didn't have much blood.
"Team Fan's state of suffocation has reduced Zhou Ning's blood to 10%. In this state, we won't be able to get any benefit against Sun Yuan. We can only consume as much as we can, but it doesn't matter if we can't consume it. After all, our next opponent is Feather God."
When Shen Huai was mentioned, there was a thunderous cheer from the entire venue.
The two stood on opposite corners of the ring, Sun Yuan was waiting for Zhou Ning to attack, he was not in a hurry, this blood volume was not an advantage at all, and...
He also looked down on Zhou Ning.
A man with a poor family and a hard life, who obviously should be poor and can't raise his head, has a smile on his face all day, posing as an elegant and noble son. The hypocrisy is disgusting.
Thinking of this, he snorted lightly from his nostrils.
Zhou Ning stared at Bing Fa opposite him. He knew that Sun Yuan must have told his story. Otherwise, he concealed it so well that even the reporters didn't realize it. How could Manager Wang suddenly stare at him
Oh, people who look down on him...
He doesn't even care!
Zhou Ning directly raised his sword - the same life as heaven and earth!
Guan He's eyes shrank, his back stiffened, and he said that looking at Zhou Ning's skill damage, he always felt that one skill point was missing, and it turned out to be here.
The audience exclaimed.
Heaven and earth live together, a skill that is almost impossible to point out, but Zhou Ning reserved a skill point for it.
The swordsman sacrifices his own life and causes the same amount of damage to the enemy within the range. Because it can only be used when his own blood is lower than 20%, he can only destroy 20% of the enemy's blood at most. It is 100% mortal.
Because it is very tasteless, no one has ever used it, and I have only seen it when some entertainment anchors spoof it.
But now, Zhou Ning not only used this skill in the professional arena, but more importantly, Sun Yuan was not in his casting range at all, which means that this trick is equivalent to suicide, and Sun Yuan was not hurt at all!
Sun Yuan opened his mouth and looked at the screen for a long time but couldn't come back to his senses.
Zhou Ning is like the patron saint of a pure land. He treats his people tenderly and lovingly, but does not allow the enemy to meddle in the slightest.
