The King’s Return

Chapter 165: Group finale

Views:

Qin Mo took the initiative to walk over to shake hands with Qiu Zongping after the game. If he lost this game, Qiu Zongping would not be able to enter the top 16. An ordinary player might feel depressed, but Qiu Zongping is obviously mentally prepared , behaved very gracefully, smiled and said, "Congratulations, Moshen."

Qin Mo encouraged: "Your strength is not singled out, keep working hard for future projects."

Qiu Zongping nodded and said, "Of course, I hope there will be a chance to compete with Moshen in the next project."

The two walked down the big stage side by side, and they met the reporter who had been waiting for a long time in the audience.

The female reporter excitedly handed the microphone to Qin Mo: "Congratulations to Moshen for reaching the top 16! How do you think you performed in today's game?"

Qin Mo said lightly: "Not bad."

The reporter asked: "Then do you think Team Qiu played well? He is a player you have trained. What do you want to say to him in this game?"

Qin Mo took a look at Qiu Zongping and said, "Team Qiu is also performing very well. I taught him the basics of summoning, but after these three years, he has grown a lot and made great progress. I feel very relieved."

The reporter asked curiously: "Many fans are wondering why Moshen didn't continue to be a summoner after he came back this time? Although your swordsman is also very violent, everyone is still looking forward to seeing your summoner."

Qin Mo said calmly: "My state has declined in the past three years since I retired, and I can't do the delicate and fast operations of a summoner, so when I returned, I chose a swordsman with relatively simple operations."

The reporter asked, "Is this the reason why you didn't return to Fengse Club?"

Qin Mo nodded: "Well, the Fengse Club has always centered on summoners. If I don't continue to finish the summoner, there is no need to return to Fengse to occupy a core position."

The reporter suddenly realized: "No wonder Moshen chose to create his own team."

As she spoke, she handed the microphone to Qiu Zongping: "Is there anything Team Qiu wants to say to the fans?"

Qiu Zongping said to the camera: "Although I didn't make it to the top 16 this time, I have tried my best and I have nothing to regret. I will continue to work hard in future projects. I hope everyone will support our Yunxiao team."

He has been the captain for three years, and he always speaks like this. The reporter smiled and changed the subject: "What do you think of Moshen?"

Qiu Zongping said: "Moshen is a player I respect very much. He did his best when he trained us in the training camp. We were very reluctant when he retired. I am very happy that he can come back."

The reporter hit the nail on the head and said, "Even if Moshen stood on the opposite side of you and didn't return to Fengse Club, are you happy?"

Qiu Zongping looked at Qin Mo, smiled slightly, and said, "I respect Mo Shen's choice."

Qin Mo also smiled, and patted Qiu Zongping's shoulder lightly: "Thank you."

The reporter originally thought that Qiu Zongping would be very upset that Qin Mo built his own team, but she was a little surprised to see how harmonious the atmosphere between the two was.

This scene made the fans of both parties feel complicated, especially the fans of Fengse Club. Qin Mo used to be called "Little Prince Fengse". The title of "Little Prince Feng Se" has become the past forever, and now Qin Mo is the captain of Team Mojue, and has nothing to do with the Feng Se Club.

On the way back to the backstage after the interview, Qiu Zongping suddenly whispered into Qin Mo's ear while there was no one around: "Moshen, the reason you told the reporter just now was just perfunctory, right? You didn't continue to play Summoner because of your fingers. The reason, when you suddenly retired, it was because of your hand injury, right?"

This young man looks low-key and stable, but he has a pair of sharp eyes that can see the truth.

He was the first to expose Qin Mo's undercover trumpet at the beginning, and now he is also the first to see that there is something wrong with Qin Mo's hands.

Qin Mo said helplessly, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

In fact, Qiu Zongping had some doubts when Qin Mo retired, and now he has confirmed this guess. Looking at Qin Mo's calm expression, Qiu Zongping only felt distressed. After a long silence, he sighed lightly and said, "Then how is your hand recovering now?"

Qin Mo said, "I can beat you, what do you think?"

Qiu Zongping thought for a while, then smiled: "It doesn't seem to affect the game anymore?"

Qin Mo nodded: "Yes."

Qiu Zongping said earnestly: "It's good that you can come back. From now on, Xiao Han will handle most of the team's affairs. Don't be too tired."

Although he didn't worship Qin Mo as his teacher, he had a teacher-student relationship in his heart, and his concern for Qin Mo was natural.

Unexpectedly, this sentence was heard by Xiao Han who walked out of the door. Xiao Han immediately took a step forward, put his arms around Qin Mo's shoulders as if announcing ownership, looked at Qiu Zongping and said, "Xiao Qiu, put your heart back Come on, I, the vice-captain, will take good care of your Moshen, and with me to help him share the pressure, he won't be very hard."

Qin Mo: "..." Is it necessary to do this in front of juniors? Qin Mo looked at Xiao Han with disapproval.

Qiu Zongping smiled and said, "That's good."

Qin Mo frowned and said to Xiao Han, "What are you still dawdling in the background? It's almost time for Group B competition, why are you so leisurely?"

Xiao Han said: "I'm in the second round. The first round is not over yet. I'll wait for you here and want to say a few words to you."

Qin Mo asked, "What did you say?"

Xiao Han looked into Qin Mo's eyes and said, "I want to hear you cheering for me."

Qin Mo was speechless: "Just for this?"

Xiao Han nodded: "With you cheering me on, I will be more motivated to play the game."

Qin Mo patted him on the shoulder solemnly: "Okay, come on, I'll buy you candy if I win the game."

Xiao Han smiled: "Thank you, Teacher Qin."

Qiu Zongping couldn't stand it any longer. As soon as these two people met, the style of painting changed immediately! Could you two be any more childish? The coolness of Hanshen's silence in front of the reporters was all just pretending

Qiu Zongping discovered another truth. He suddenly realized that he knew a lot of truth.

***

In Group B, the first game was Su Cheng VS Song Changdong, Team Su won Xiao Song without any suspense.

As the bottom rookie in Group B who lost three games in a row, Song Changdong walked off the stage in embarrassment. Lin Shuangcheng was waiting for him in the corridor. When Song Changdong saw the captain, he immediately bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, Team Lin, I failed to qualify and let everyone down." expect… "

Lin Shuangcheng looked at his naive look and was very funny. He stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, Xiao Song. The other players in your group are very strong, so don't mind. I know Su Cheng's level." , Hanshen is not easy to deal with, Zhou Yanbing's strength is not bad, don't worry about losing to them, just treat it as an experience."

Since Lin Shuangcheng offered Song Changdong a one million liquidated damages in exchange for the opportunity to debut immediately, Song Changdong was always grateful and guilty to him in his heart, he couldn't help being very moved when he heard this, thinking that Team Lin is really a good person.

Lin Shuangcheng, who had no idea that he had received a good person card, put his arms around Xiao Song's shoulders with a smile, and changed the subject: "After staying in Beijing for so many days, I really want to eat the meatballs you made."

Song Changdong hurriedly said, "I'll make it for you later! In the afternoon, I'll go to the supermarket to buy minced meat, and I'll make it for you in the hotel kitchen." Anyway, he was eliminated, and he had nothing to do for the next two days, so I just happened to cook something to eat.

Xiao Han passing by heard this, and immediately came over and said, "I want to eat too."

Song Changdong: "..."

Lin Shuangcheng said with a smile: "Han God regretted sending Xiao Song to me when he heard that Rouwanzi was so excited?"

Xiao Han said: "I regret it very much."

Song Changdong blushed embarrassingly and said: "After I retire, I will open a shop selling meatballs. You can come here often."

Lin Shuangcheng: "..."

My God, we were just joking, and honest Xiao Song actually took it seriously...

Xiao Han and Lin Shuangcheng looked at each other, and decided not to bully honest people, Xiao Han turned to prepare for the competition.

He was facing Zhou Yanbing in this round. Qin Mo and Zhou Yanbing had fought in the martial arts group arena before. This player is actually very strong, but Xiao Han has already understood the style of Changjian Liu, so he was very straightforward. Win the game. In this way, the two players who qualify in Group B are Xiao Han and Su Cheng.

Immediately afterwards, Group C and Group D also came out with results. The winners of Group C were Su Cheng's junior brother Xie Changming and Frost Moon's captain Chen Jiang; Group D consisted of Assassin Sang Jun of Team Dynasty and Summoner Yuan Xi of Team Cloud.

Yuan Xi was very excited after qualifying. He had always been covered by Qiu Zongping on the Miracle side. He always felt that he was almost out of breath by Qiu Zongping. He had been a green leaf and a supporting role for so many years, but now, Qiu Zongping Zong Ping was assigned to Group A and met Moshen, the big devil. In addition, Lin Yao played exceptionally well and failed to make it to the top 16. On the contrary, he, Yuan Xi, made it to the top 16!

This has actually proved that his strength is not weaker than Qiu Zongping.

Yuan Xi, who came backstage, excitedly embraced several newcomers in the team to celebrate, and as a result, Qiu Zongping also walked over on his own initiative, opening his arms to hug him.

Yuan Xi's expression was very awkward, but since his teammates were all present, he had no choice but to hug Qiu Zongping in embarrassment.

I thought that Qiu Zongping would take the opportunity to ridicule him for a few rounds, but instead Qiu Zongping generously encouraged him and said: "You have proved yourself, and your performance in the group stage is really great."

Yuan Xi: "..."

After being praised by the captain, Yuan Xi blushed embarrassingly, and even felt a little ashamed, feeling that compared with the calm and generous Qiu team, she was really small.

Back then, I almost ran away from home, but in retrospect, it was a dark history!

He was extremely grateful that Qiu Zongping braved the heavy rain to persuade him to come back, and he was also very grateful to Qiu Zongping for giving him this opportunity to start over. In the future, he will try his best to do what an output should do.

Team Qiu failed to make it to the top 16 in the individual competition, so let him represent Team Yunxiao and fight for Yunxiao's honor!

***

After the four group games in the morning, the EH group game will usher in the afternoon.

Qin Mo also went to the arena to watch all the games in person. Did Chu Jianxin, the captain of Group E Dynasty, and Jing Jing, the vice-captain of Lihuo, make it to the round of 16? This was already expected by Qin Mo.

The captain of Dynasty, Chu Jianxin, can be said to be the strongest front row tanker in the Dubu League at present. He is a typical defensive and counterattack style of play; The sharpness on the field is shocking - he plays the double-knife killer of Frenzied Sword, and the output is quite violent.

The results of Group F surprised Qin Mo—the final winners of this group were Lu Boyu and a folk expert with the ID "Lang Taosha".

Lu Boyu is the Black Umbrella player of Team Qingyu, the younger brother of the Black Umbrella Twins. He won the Black Umbrella Championship in the last martial arts group arena. Qin Mo is very familiar with him and has met many times. The young man in the wechat group clamored to hand out red envelopes every day. He was very proficient in the black umbrella formation, and it was not surprising that he could qualify for the top sixteen. What surprised Qin Mo was that the folk master, Lang Taosha, whose real name was Xu Lang, seemed to have no interest in the professional league. Winning or losing has nothing to do with him. He also plays games at will, with unpredictable styles.

The official said at the beginning that the individual competition encourages non-governmental masters to sign up, in fact, it is only to create an atmosphere of "competition for all" and mobilize the enthusiasm of e-sports fans. It is very difficult for ordinary folk masters to beat professional players who have undergone formal training. The league officials did not expect that after the opening of the private registration channel, some masters actually made it to the final thirty-two, and even all the way to the top sixteen .

Such a person who seems to be here to "join in the fun" seems a bit out of place in the fierce competition atmosphere of the major teams.

Moreover, after this person won the game before, he said madly: "The so-called professional players are nothing more than that [smile]"

Group F is the weakest group among all the groups. Qin Mo had seen this tweet before, but he didn't pay attention to it. He didn't expect this person to actually make it to the top 16.

Qin Mo frowned and said to Xiao Han: "Do you think this person is really here to join in the fun? This is obviously to slap a professional player in the face."

Xiao Han said indifferently: "What is there to be proud of qualifying in the weakest group? He is so arrogant, he will fall into a big somersault sooner or later."

Qin Mo also paid no attention to this person, and the Group G match was about to start, so he focused on Shen He.

In the group stage on the first day, Shen He narrowly won He Yue, vice-captain of Shuangyue, and lost to Nie Yuzhu on the second day. Now he has a record of 1 win and 1 loss. If he wants to qualify, he must win the last opponent, Cheng Yuqing.

Cheng Yuqing of the Guose Tianxiang team is a female player with a very distinctive style. Her strength is not very strong, but her style of play is very wretched. Shen He is also a newcomer, with little experience in the competition, so it is easy to fall for her when encountering this kind of obscene killer, and be killed by her in a wave of critical strikes.

In order to help Shen He get acquainted with this kind of assassination player, Qin Mo and Xiao Han brought Shen He to the Internet cafe last night and personally taught him some fighting skills.

Qin Mo opened Shen He's Summoner account, while Xiao Han used his own Assassin account. The two played a few rounds of simulated battles for Shen He to observe carefully. Xiao Han imitated Cheng Yuqing's wretched style of play in various stealth and detours to attack Qin Mo's summoner. Qin Mo calmly and calmly used various pet card slots to solve the situation of being attacked. Less stuff.

Ten minutes later, the match in Group G will start. Shen He is recalling in his mind the scene of watching Master and Hanshen demonstrate teaching last night, when his phone suddenly lights up, and it is a text message from Li Muran: "Come on."

Seeing this concise message, Shen He quickly typed back: "Master and Hanshen took the time to guide me last night. I was very moved, but also felt a lot of pressure!"

Li Muran said: "Don't think too much, your opponent Cheng Yuqing is not very strong, but his style of play is relatively insignificant. As long as you calm down and deal with it well, you still have a great chance of winning."

The taciturn Li Muran seldom uttered such a long sentence. Seeing this rational analysis, Shen He's mood was miraculously calmed down—yes, Cheng Yuqing's strength is not very good! Why should I be afraid of Cheng Yuqing when I have won against He Yue who is super skilled? In fact, as long as you play steadily and show your own strength, it will be fine.

Shen He scratched his head and smiled, and said: "Let's make a bet, if I lose later, I will send you 100 yuan in red envelopes, if I win, you will send me 100 yuan, how about it?"

Li Muran was puzzled: "Why do you want to bet?"

Shen He said: "This way I'm more motivated O(∩_∩)O~!"

Seeing the smiley face he sent, the corners of Li Muran's lips involuntarily raised, and he replied: "Okay."

— Li Muran sent a red envelope.

A 100 yuan red envelope suddenly popped up on WeChat, Shen He was taken aback, and asked, "So early? The game hasn't been played yet."

Li Muran said, "I believe you can win."

Shen He: "..."

So don't bet, just give out red envelopes, right

Daddy is so straightforward, Shen He happily received 100 red envelopes, and immediately became full of motivation.

Probably because of the encouragement red envelopes received before the game, during the game, Shen He summoned his pets at a dizzying speed as if he had suddenly been slapped with chicken blood, and only beat Cheng Yuqing to the point where he couldn't take care of himself.

In the second round, Cheng Yuqing's home map wretched sneak attack originally had hope of a comeback, but Shen He used the defensive counterattack style taught to him by his master last night, put the blood bull in the front to resist damage, and then used the pet's short cooldown time to forcibly control the opponent. The assassin, who lost his blood in seconds, sealed the victory with a beautiful record of 2:0!

After the competition, Shen He was so excited that he almost jumped up, but due to his master's repeated "be calm no matter whether you win or lose", Shen He suppressed the impulse, shook hands with Cheng Yuqing politely, and walked backstage to reveal the monkey In real life, he jumped up and down around Qin Mo: "Hahahaha Master, I have entered the top 16!! I have actually entered the top 16! Tell me, am I dreaming?"

Qin Mo squeezed his apprentice's face hard: "You are not dreaming."

Shen He was so excited that he almost shed tears, and immediately took out his mobile phone to send a message to Li Muran: "I can accept your red envelope with a clear conscience, thank you Brother Ran! Come back and buy you a gift!!!"

Li Muran looked at the row of exclamation marks, and smiled slightly: "No thanks, great play."

Shen He's qualifying can be said to be the upset ending of Group G.

Of the four players in Group G, Nie Yuzhu and He Yue were originally the most optimistic group masters by netizens. Nie Yuzhu played steadily and won three consecutive victories to qualify, but Goddess He Yue unexpectedly lost to Shen He. As a result, Shen He won with two With a record of one win and one loss, they made it to the top 16, but Shuangyue's vice-captain He Yue was eliminated instead!

One last set of games left.

Liu Hong in Group H defeated Li Junru before, and now she has won two consecutive victories. She is destined to qualify for the final game regardless of whether she wins or loses.

In other words, Qin Mo, Xiao Han, Shen He, and Liu Hong of the Mo Jue team, the four players who entered the group stage, will all qualify from the group stage and enter the top 16!

This is really against the sky!

There are ten teams in the alliance. There are dozens of players who signed up for this single player competition. Of the 32 players who have reached the group stage, Mo Jue can have four players, which is already a very good result. However, all four players killed Entering the top sixteen, this is a bit unbelievable!

The matchup in Group H ended quickly, Li Junru defeated his opponent and got a chance to qualify, and Liu Hong also defeated his opponent in another match, becoming the last player to reach the top 16.

So far, the three-day group stage is over.

The commentator Ye Chao immediately concluded: "After three days of fierce competition, the group stage of the individual competition has all ended. According to the league's points system, the top 32 in the individual competition will get 1 point, and the top 16 will get 3 points. 5 points for the top eight, 8 points for the top four, and 10 points for the champion."

Liang Ru said: "In the later stage of the team battle, the point deduction system will be implemented. This point may not seem like a lot, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Points have to be accumulated bit by bit. Players who reach the top 16 can get it." The points are 3 points, which is equivalent to losing one team battle."

The director was putting the official form on the big screen, and Ye Chao couldn't help but sigh: "There are actually four contestants in Mo Jue entering the top 16!"

The audience immediately began to scan the barrage: "This is a team of big demon kings!" "Twin stars together is a bug! You just know now?" , Mo Jue is often upset!" "Our Moshen loses first, just for today's 233." All four qualified, this is reverse thinking, black at the beginning, red at the end!"

The fans were very happy. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Liang Ru immediately returned to the topic calmly: "Hey, let's take a look at the matchup table for the next knockout stage. The ABCD group is the upper half, and the EFGH group is the lower half." According to the rules, Group A will face off against Group E. Tomorrow's match will be Lin Yao, the first place in Group A, against Chu Jianxin, the second place in Group E, and Qin Mo, the second place in Group A, against Jingyang, the first place in Group E."

Ye Chaodao: "Because the initial team played defensively and counterattacked, they lost to Jingyang's double-knife assassins in the group stage. If it turns into a civil war, Lin Yao shouldn't be merciful just because the opponent is the captain, after all, Lin Yao's Poison Master is actually better than the newly built meat shield-type mad knife gate in terms of one-on-one ability."

Liang Ru nodded and said: "That's the reason. Anyway, the team points are counted in the individual competition, and there will be no such thing as who will give in privately. Of course, the stronger team will win in a one-on-one match, so as to win a little more points for the team."

Ye Chaodao: "The duel between Group B and Group F is Xiao Han VS Xu Lang, Su Cheng VS Lu Boyu, Xu Lang, a folk master, is the strongest dark horse in this year's individual competition. It is said that there are many teams The manager contacted him privately, but he refused. He made it clear that he would not become a professional player, only playing amateur. Moreover, he seemed to have posted a mocking Weibo before that "pro players are nothing more than that". If Hanshen loses to him, then But it would be too embarrassing.”

Liang Ru followed closely: "Professional players are nothing more than that, the scope of this ridicule is too large, heck, Hanshen from Longyin Club expressed dissatisfaction, and he shouldn't smile so happily when facing Hanshen tomorrow."

Ye Chao continued to speak viciously: "He might kneel down and call Dad."

Liang Ru smiled: "We can look forward to tomorrow's game."

Obviously, the two commentators don't like this arrogant master very much either. In the first round of the knockout round, he directly faced Xiao Han, who has the ability to win the championship. The audience expressed their joy.

Other arrangements for the group matches followed. For the duel between Groups C and G, Shen He will face Chen Jiang, captain of Shuangyue, and Nie Yuzhu will face Xie Changming of the Yudi school; Groups D and H, Dynasty Sang Jun vs. Li Junru, Yunxiao Yuanxi VS Mo Jue Liu Hong.

The knockout stage is still a best-of-three format. Those who lose will be eliminated directly. The level of tension is much higher than that of the group stage.

Some netizens counted the number of players of each big team in the group stage. In the top 32 stage, most teams had 3-4 players, but in the top 16 stage, half of them were eliminated, and only Mo Jue was very weird. All four players made it to the top sixteen.

— There are sixteen places in total, and Mo Jue occupies four, so I ask you if you are afraid? !

The Weibo sent by the netizen doing data analysis was retweeted more than ten thousand times. From this moment on, the Mo Jue team had another nickname called "Boss Team".

Undoubtedly, the ultimate boss team in the first league of the unique world is Mojue led by Gemini!
