The schedule of the International Star Tournament has been released, and the opening game is the clash between the champions and runners-up of the previous session. The French Tulips face the Chinese Dynasty.
The organizers of the event obviously saw that this gimmick could attract more attention to the star game, and shouted the slogan of the runner-up challenging the championship. In various professional events, it is basically a specific tradition to invite the champion and runner-up of last season to the opening match. .
The effect is really good. This opening game has attracted much attention and is unprecedentedly grand, especially the Chinese audience. The runner-up is an honor, but it also represents a regret. They hope to see the dynasty win the tulips and start a new season for this season. good head.
Not only the spectators, but all the teams who are interested in entering the international league are all paying attention to this opening game, preparing to study the characteristics of Dynasty and Tulip from it, and target them when they are officially fighting.
Han Xiao is also paying attention to this game. After all, the Dynasty’s guild bought hundreds of bottles of ability potions in batches from him. He has to observe the effect and see if he needs to provide after-sales service.
The Star Tournament still uses the practice of last season's International Tournament. A specific set of crystals, similar to dungeon crystals, will be created in the mall, and players will be drawn to the same virtual scene. nagging.
A few days before the start of the game, Xinghai Times interviewed Team Tulip and Team Dynasty respectively and asked them what they thought of the game.
The captain of Tulip, the lost angel of the great god-level player, is full of confidence, saying that he will definitely win this game, defend the honor of the previous champion, and carry the championship halo. Most of the audience are naturally more optimistic about Tulip.
On the dynasty's side, princes and generals never knew what modesty meant, and bluntly told the tulips to wash the chrysanthemums and wait, and they would definitely smash their opponents.
Meeting on a narrow road, Huaxia audiences don’t want to see Dynasty’s modesty and low-key, blood can boost morale, and they waved their flags and shouted for their support on the forum. Players have high expectations for Dynasty, for fear of becoming the temple of the previous season.
The temple suffered a lot of criticism last season and became a negative example. The typical civil war is as fierce as a tiger, and the foreign war is meow meow meow.
Experts from all walks of life conducted pre-match analysis, and most of them believed that Tulip was slightly stronger, and the official did the same, placing Dynasty in the position of challenger.
Xinghai Times made a concluding report:
"The prince and the two captains of the lost angel are talking in the air, and no one backs down. The two strong seed teams have the potential to win the championship and are evenly matched. They will present a wonderful battle with climaxes, and the suspense will remain until the last moment. , who will win in the end, please wait and see."
…
With much anticipation, the day of the opening game will soon come.
Countless players flocked to the live channel. In addition to the official channel, there was also the broadcast channel of Xinghai Times. Guests were invited to watch the game together. Many viewers laughed when they saw the guest list of the Chinese version of Xinghai Times.
Meat Bun's video career is booming, and he has finally turned himself from a name to a celebrity. He has a group of die-hard fans and black fans. He is mixed in the guest lineup composed of professional players from all walks of life.
The two teams entered the game early with a collection of crystals. Under the guidance of the host, the prince and the lost angel led the team to walk through the scene, conducted a brief interview and dialogue, and then went to prepare separately.
While waiting, the commentator and the guests analyzed it, and then started to gossip.
The female commentator of the Xinghai Times in the Huaxia section asked several guests, "The game is about to start. Why don't you predict the results, tell me which team you are optimistic about, and give reasons."
The replies from the guests were similar. They said that the tulips were strong, but I was optimistic about the dynasty. Barabara gave a bunch of reasons for rational analysis, mainly because they did not dare to face the Chinese audience and said they were optimistic about the enemy.
Only the meat bun is different from the coquettish bitch next to him, and his stance is extremely firm, without hesitation.
"I'm optimistic about the Tulip team, France will win!"
Many guests looked at him.
The commentator couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure? Why?"
"This is a bit complicated to explain..." Meat Bun's tone was serious and serious, "Have you heard of anti-dairy?"
The commentary was suddenly dumbfounded. He thought that the meat bun had lost his mind. It turned out that it was just a skin. If it wasn't for the image, he would have wanted to say Xiu Nima.
After the meat bun explained, the barrage changed from question marks on the screen to dense "France must win", with a wave of group anti-milk rhythm.
After a while, the game officially started. The relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the audience was highly concentrated and engaged in the game.
The first game was a team battle. The broadcast perspective followed the two teams throughout. Han Xiao mainly watched Dynasty.
The terrain is quite complicated in a random venue. As soon as Dynasty entered the venue, it did not rush to find opponents, but took out one mechanical prop after another to make tactical arrangements.
The commentary said in a timely manner: "Dynasty has chosen a steady and steady tactic, using mechanical props to create favorable conditions. It is worth mentioning that the props used by Dynasty are all machines from the Black Star series. The Black Star Legion has a complete set of mechanical products. It provides the team in the Broken Starlink Division with the convenience of formulating tactics, in contrast, the Tulip team does not have an advantage in this area."
Meat Bun nodded in agreement, "Indeed, according to my investigation, players in other divisions lack the easy way to obtain complete sets of equipment like the Black Star Legion. Although professional players can still gather powerful top-level equipment, it will cost them more. more time."
As soon as the Black Star Legion was mentioned, the Huaxia players felt like they were hit with blood, and the barrage floated past the dense "Black Star Awesomeness", "The Head Loves Me Again" and "Dragon Zodiac Friends will visit here" so many...
It was fine in private, but the mention of Black Star Legion in public at international events made Broken Starlink players very excited. Black Star Legion was the link connecting many players of Broken Starlink and became a common language.
Han Xiao was a little surprised. When he was suddenly mentioned, he was not mentally prepared. He had an inexplicable feeling of "my brother is not in the rivers and lakes, but there are my legends in the rivers and lakes".
As the game continued, the two teams moved around the map, finally found each other's whereabouts, and quickly approached each other.
The audience suddenly became nervous, waiting for the battle with bated breath. In their opinion, once the strong teams faced each other, it must be the thunder of the sky, which would be out of control and be able to hit all the brains...
However, fantasy is often far from reality, and the real situation backfires.
There was no evenly matched battle, and Dynasty crushed the Tulip team from beginning to end, with a single beat, destroying and destroying the opponent.
The commentators and guests were incoherently excited. The Chinese audience was excited, but the audiences in other countries were stunned. They had no inclination. , was easily overturned by the runner-up.
In the next ring match, Dynasty also won the game with an absolute advantage.
The official commentary and the referee were dumbfounded. The organizers wanted to make the opening match a wonderful battle, so they arranged for the last championship and runner-up to compete, but they didn't expect Tulip to be upset and easily beaten by Dynasty.
There is no suspense that Dynasty won, the barrage went wild, the forum was full of carnivals, and the Chinese audience only felt proud and wished to blow up Dynasty.
Han Xiao was not surprised by this result at all. In his previous life, French Tulip won the first championship, but in the second season, it became a general strong team. In the end, it almost didn’t even make it to the quarterfinals of the international competition, and its strength shrunk severely.
And Dynasty was much stronger than last season, so this kind of result seemed normal to him.
Although Tulip was the last champion, the French players lack the unique advantage of Chinese players, that is, there are too few French trolls!
There is no spur, no pressure, not like the Chinese players who live in a difficult environment. In order not to be sprayed, they are very motivated, and the French style is obviously not related to diligence. After winning a championship, they relax. He himself, Dynasty won the runner-up last year, but he was more motivated.
He remembered the opening game of the previous life. The two sides were the French Tulip Team and the American Demon World Team, and they were also beaten by the Demon World. Now, Dynasty replaced the Demon World in the first season and won the runner-up seat, so the one who beat the tulips became Dynasty.
At the end of the opening game, the winds of various experts changed, and they began to tout the dynasty, fully implementing their status as an afterthought.
Teams from other countries have regarded Dynasty as the most powerful competitor, and they have concentrated on studying the video of the game, trying to find out the tactics to target.
Dynasty's victory caused a sensational impact and gained a lot of attention. The limelight crushed the other three giants. The Chinese audience cheered for it, and almost regarded Dynasty as their home team. In addition to the excitement, the audience also placed high hopes on them.
Most of the players of the Dynasty team were more or less nervous.
As members of the giants, they are very aware that the current situation is a double-edged sword. If they win all the way to the end, it goes without saying that they will definitely be promoted to the altar.
But once you lose, everyone's mistakes will be magnified and will be sprayed to death. The higher the exposure, the greater the pressure. Only the princes and generals have seen the wind and waves, and they don't care about it.
…
After the upset in the opening game, the International Star Game officially began. The strong teams played performance-based competitions, which was considered a warm-up for the international regular season.
The champions of the nine major regions have all shown their own level and style.
This season, the schedule is tight, the star game is over, and after a few days of rest, the division finals are seamlessly connected.
In the Shattered Star Ring Division, the eight strong teams were divided into four groups according to their rankings, Dynasty vs. Nine Gates, Jiangcheng vs. Fanatic, Changkong vs. Yuxiang Eggplant, Temple vs. Torrential Rain, three wins in five rounds.
The most interesting one is Changkong vs. Yuxiang Eggplant. The two giants met in the first round, because only the top four can participate in the international regular season, which means that one giant will be absent from the international regular season.
Last season, Yuxiang Eggplant missed the international regular season. This time, he worked hard and vowed to defeat Changkong and try to qualify.
It's a pity that Changkong still won, Yuxiang Eggplant was out again and hid in the corner to draw circles.
Soon, the results of the first round of the division finals came out. Dynasty defeated Jiumen without any suspense and maintained the momentum.
Jiangcheng fought the Madmen, and the two sides were inseparable, and they reached the match point of 2 to 2. At the critical moment, Mad Saber and Xie Xiaojian broke out, and finally beat the Mad Gang team led by Yan Ran in a thrilling way and reached the semi-finals.
The temple was shocked by the rainstorm, and Jiang Yuluo was like a god. He pressed Li Ge to the ground and rubbed it. In the end, the rainstorm eliminated the temple three-to-one and entered the top four. The temple followed Yuxiang Eggplant to draw circles.
The list of the top four was released, Dynasty, Changkong, Jiangcheng, and Torrential Rain. The results exceeded the expectations of many audiences. Two giants were absent from the international regular season.
The top four teams in the division have already qualified for the qualifying, and the next is the competition for the division championship, which is also an honor.
In the second round of the battle list, Han Xiao suspected that Crazy Blade had also touched Fording, the two giants Dynasty and Changkong were facing each other, and Jiang Cheng was facing a relatively weak rainstorm.
Crazy Blade only started to lead the team this year. The Jiangcheng team was originally a second- and third-tier team, but it actually qualified for the international regular season, and all the way to the top four in the division. The proper performance of the dark horse attracted a lot of attention.
As a weapon warrior, he has a variety of fighting styles, mature and stable, more famous than the previous one, and began to consolidate his position in the professional circle.
Due to Han Xiao's reasons, the career chosen by Crazy Blade is different from his previous life, but for now, his career path has gone more smoothly.
