Players who need to participate in the playoffs, after returning to their respective teams, trained with their teammates for a few days to adjust their tactics. They are very familiar with the teammates of their own team, and the running-in is very smooth.
The coaches of the major teams were surprised to find that the players selected for the national team had only participated in the national team training for half a month, and they have made rapid progress!
Especially Mo Hantian, whose marksmanship can even hit a hundred hits, is this still the little princess who used to have a broken heart and cry? Simply reborn! Not only did Xia Li get better and better in encounters, but when he encountered a large map, he didn't turn around like a headless fly like before. At least he was able to identify the direction. Coach Zhu was particularly pleased.
On July 4th, the playoffs of the S9 season of the Gun King Professional League officially opened.
Only the top eight teams in the regular season are eligible to play in the playoffs. Four teams are eliminated in the first round, and the remaining top four will have the final match in the second round.
In previous years, the "rich and powerful teams" controlled by the three capitals FAD, RED, and TNG often ranked 4th to 6th, and sometimes even entered the second round of the playoffs to hit the trophy.
This year, RED has been completely cool, and it is still closed for rectification; FAD and TNG have also been greatly affected by the "shady storm" in the national team selection competition some time ago.
Especially TNG, the transfer of the fat and thin combination has greatly damaged their vitality, and the rest are all star players such as Lu Xingyun and Zhang Yue, who have been popular, and they can't bear the burden at all.
Since the national team exposed the video of their game, fans finally realized that these few people are very disheveled, and there are countless people who have lost their fans. Now in the playoffs, there are not many fans at the TNG game to cheer. , Compared with the previous scene of huge crowds and posters everywhere, it is a bit deserted.
In the first round of the playoffs, TNG collided with JZ, and Jiang Shaoyu also came to the scene to watch the game in person.
JZ is the team led by Lao Lin, and Coach Gu is best at rushing and rushing violently.
At the beginning of the game, Lao Lin took his teammates to kill him aggressively. He and Lu Xingyun met at the corner. Before Lu Xingyun could react, he was shot into a sieve by a row of bullets from Lao Lin!
The rhythm of the next game was quickly controlled by Lao Lin.
—[JZ-ol] used [Thomson-Flame] to kill [TNG-LU]!
This kind of news keeps popping up on the public screen. How can Lao Lin still look like he is in a state of decline today? It's just a bloodbath, right? The coaches of the major teams watching the game in the background couldn't help but feel frightened.
Did the national team's training give Lao Lin a buff of "God Blocks Killing God"? Too fierce! He stood there carrying the submachine gun, and it was simply an iron wall that was difficult to break through.
TNG was vulnerable in front of JZ. In the playoffs, it was a 4-of-7 game, and it directly played 0:4.
The few fans who still insisted on coming to the scene scolded on Weibo: retreat retreat retreat! unlucky!
TNG became the first team out of the playoffs.
After returning to the national team, Jiang Shaoyu approached Qin Xueyao and asked, "Have you watched today's game? What do you think of TNG's performance?"
Qin Xueyao commented calmly: "The whole team is like a mess of sand, and the rhythm is very chaotic."
Jiang Shaoyu took out a document and handed it to her, saying: "Starting this year, the promotion and promotion system will be reformed, and the league has agreed to my proposal, the bottom three in the A League, and the top three in the B League, six teams. All teams enter the card slot area, play a round-robin match, and compete fairly for 3 seats in the next year's A-A."
Qin Xueyao looked at the league's red-headed document and widened her eyes in disbelief: "In other words, in the future, there will be 3 places in the B-level league to enter the A-A? In previous years, there was only 1..."
Last year, their Snow Leopard team was the second place in the B-level league and failed to get the chance of the card slot. Although she is number one this year, if a match is decided, she can't guarantee that she will be able to make it.
Now it has been changed to 3 places, playing 3 games, and who will enter A according to the points
A, their Snow Leopard team has even greater hopes! The VV team that performed well in the B-level league may also have a show!
Players in the B-level league have more opportunities to stand out, and the players in the A-level league can no longer sit back and relax. As long as they rank third from the bottom, they may be brushed down. Qin Xueyao's hands trembled slightly with excitement. Coach Jiang not only wanted to change the selection method of the national team, but his vision was very long-term. What he wanted to change was the environment of the entire professional arena!
Jiang Shaoyu explained in a low voice: "Such a rule will help increase the motivation of the secondary league players, and it will also make the players in the A-A more dangerous. There is a promotion, elimination and blood rotation every year, which can improve the entire China. The level of national professional leagues. More sponsors will pay attention to B-level events, and in the long run, the environment of professional leagues will be healthier than before.”
Qin Xueyao's nose was sour, and she bowed to Jiang Shaoyu seriously: "Thank you for your concern for our players. Players in the B-level league will be very happy to hear this good news!"
Jiang Shaoyu said: "Well, the promotion and relegation competition will not start until the end of the year. After the World Series, you can go back and prepare well. Next year, I hope to see your Snow Leopard team in the A League."
Qin Xueyao nodded vigorously: "I know, we will definitely get into A!"
Jiang Shaoyu paused, then said, "Besides, I have another idea, see if your teammates agree?"
Qin Xueyao hurriedly said, "You say it!"
Jiang Shaoyu: "The Snow Leopard team has not had any important competitions recently, and your base is in the imperial capital, so it is more convenient to go back and forth. I hope you can let them be the training team to help us prepare for the Asian Championships."
Qin Xueyao was stunned for a moment: "Sparring team?"
"That's right. The players in your team are not weak. The role of the sparring team is to replicate the classic tactics of other countries for our national team to study and decipher."
Jiang Shaoyu took a sip of tea and continued: "Playing in-team practice games for a long time is like playing with the left hand and the right hand, and there is limited room for improvement. The current national team needs more 'enemies' from outside, and the Snow Leopard team is very suitable for this. 'Imaginary enemy', what do you think?"
Qin Xueyao was flattered and let the Snow Leopard team be the sparring team. Coach Jiang looked down on them! She said without hesitation: "Thank you for your recognition! I will tell them about this when I go back. They will definitely feel very honored to come to the national team to study."
Jiang Shaoyu nodded: "Well. You are the reconnaissance of the Snow Leopard, and the national team's lineup also needs you, so I will let Xiaoye fill the position of the sparring team's reconnaissance."
Qin Xueyao was stunned for a moment: "... Brother Ye's apprentice?"
"Yes. Ye Qingming went back to the YY team to play the playoffs, and Xiaoye Ye was free again. This player is very talented and has a strong ability to imitate. I will let him imitate the reconnaissance play of various countries and share with you Snow Leopards. The 4 people in the team will form a special training team to help the national team run in."
Qin Xueyao said understandingly, "Understood!"
The identity of a sparring is not very glorious. After all, you can only stand behind the scenes and cannot play the game in person, imitating the tactics of other teams to let the home team kill them, like a "beaten sandbag".
However, behind the excellent home team, the sparring team is inseparable.
At present, many players of the national team have to play in the playoffs. The few people they stayed at the base could not find an opponent if they wanted to practice and cooperate. They desperately need a team to help them break in. The Snow Leopard team is in the imperial capital, and it is really convenient to come and be a sparring partner!
There is only one month left before the Asian Championships, and they have to run in the lineup as soon as possible.
After Qin Xueyao went back, he told Yu Feng the news, and Yu Feng said in surprise: "Fuck, be a sparring partner? Isn't this making us sandbags and being beaten every day by you?"
Qin Xueyao said solemnly: "Trust me, after you get used to being beaten up, you will improve very quickly. Moreover, Coach Jiang of the national team will guide you personally. If we were not in the imperial capital and were close, such a rare opportunity would be really great. I can't even ask for it!"
Yu Feng thought about it too, and said simply: "No problem! Coach Jiang asked us to arrive at what time, and we must be there on time to be sandbags."
Team YY, Ye Qingming immediately packed up the apprentice after receiving Jiang Shaoyu's notice.
Ye Qingming was suspended for half a year. The suspension was lifted in July and he was able to lead the team. Therefore, the little apprentice does not need to play during the playoffs, and it does not matter if he goes to the imperial capital to be a sparring partner for a month.
Xiao Ye Zi scratched her red hair and said, "Master, why do I feel that the expression you send me to the imperial capital is the same as sending me to the execution ground?"
Ye Qingming rubbed his apprentice's head with a smile: "You must take good care of the inheritance I gave you. In case the Great Demon King asks you to write a review, you can refer to what the master wrote before. However, you must master it, don't Copy it directly, otherwise he will see it and double the punishment."
Little Leaf: "... so scary? Can I not go?"
Ye Qingming raised his eyebrows: "If you dare to answer the boss's call, your career will come to an end."
Xiaoye Ye ran downstairs with her luggage: "Then I'll go!"
Looking at the young apprentice's windy back, Ye Qingming smiled and shook his head, the little guy actually wanted to go, his eyes were full of excitement. Go to be a sparring coach first, and then report to the base next year as a national team player.
On July 5th, all five members of the national team sparring team arrived.
Jiang Shaoyu convened them for a meeting: "Your task is to carefully study past game videos, learn and imitate the game styles of South Korea, Japan, Vietnam and other Asian countries, and help the national team practice tactics and cultivate tacit understanding."
He looked at a few people calmly: "Although the sparring team is not very pleasant, you can also learn a lot from the sparring process. I hope everyone will take the next training seriously and cherish this opportunity. Do you understand?"
Several people nodded vigorously: "Understood!"
For professional players, it is not difficult to reproduce a certain set of tactics. Although it cannot be 100% similar, 80% can still be imitated.
That night, Jiang Shaoyu organized a training team to have a tentative match with Pei Feng, Qin Xueyao, Hua Ran, Shu Chen, and Shi Xiaobin who stayed at the base.
The two raiders of the national team, Xia Li and Zhou Zhou, are both playing in the playoffs, and the front row lacks the important output position of the raider. However, Shu Chen can be used as half of the output to assist Huaran in the front row.
The Chenhua combination has been in the Hanbok double row for a long time, and has long cultivated a tacit understanding.
Compared with Hua Ran and Xia Li leading the whole team together, when Hua Ran and Shu Chen were together, the cooperation was extremely smooth, Hua Ran could rush forward with confidence, and Shu Chen could protect him from death by his side. And Hua Ran, the longer he lives, the more interference he will cause to his opponent.
Hua Ran and Shu Chen resisted the pressure in the front row, Qin Xueyao scouted the whole map, Pei Feng suppressed it remotely, and Shi Xiaobin checked and filled the gaps.
This "dual medical treatment" system actually won in the face of the besieging and strangling of the training team.
But the sparring team is not a sandbag that can only be beaten. The tacit understanding between the members of the Snow Leopard team was played in two years of competition. Coupled with the first-class imitation ability of Xiaoye Ye, they quickly adjusted the rhythm and fought back.
After repeated practice, Jiang Shaoyu can find out many shortcomings in team cooperation, and improve it in the next game, which is much more effective than PK in the team.
Due to the absence of some players in this Asian Championship, the national team at this time is not complete, and many tactics cannot be realized. Jiang Shaoyu can only do his best to arrange it.
After imitating Japan, the sparring team began to imitate Singapore...
A variety of tactics were engraved by them for the national team to crack and practice.
In the blink of an eye, on July 10, the official website of the Asian Gun King Championship released an announcement.
The list of countries and groups for this year's Asian Championships has also been released.
Group A, Korea (KOR), India (IND), Singapore (SIN), Thailand (THA)
Group B, Malaysia (MAS), Japan (JPN), Vietnam (VIE), Indonesia (INA), China ()
Seeing this list, many countries were surprised: "How did Hua Guo sign up this year?"
"Didn't they never participate in the Asian Championships?"
In previous years, there were only 8 teams in the Asian Championships, and China was nowhere to be seen.
This year, Hua Guo signed up for the competition inexplicably. There was one more team in Group B, and the formation was destroyed.
The main focus of various countries is still on South Korea. After all, South Korea has dominated the gun king e-sports project in Asia for five years. If everyone wants to fight, they can only fight for the runner-up and third-place trophies.
E-sports in Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia and other countries have developed rapidly in recent years, and they have also won the runner-up and third runner-up in the Asian Championships.
As for the fact that the World Championships have always pulled the hips, the ideas of the coaches from various countries are very consistent - this is to make up the number? Don't pay too much attention, they won't get out of the group stage anyway. :,,.
