The next morning, the members of Team Longyin and Team Qixingcao came to the Changsha arena collectively.
Although it is the home court of Longyin, Qixingcao, as an old and strong team in the league, also has quite a lot of supporters. There are many loyal fans of Qixingcao in Changsha, and there are also many fans wearing Qixingcao dark blue uniforms in the audience. Cheering with a sign.
Of course, it was the home court after all, and the fans of Team Longyin still had an overwhelming advantage, and the white uniforms merged into a vast ocean.
The game started soon. The two players walked to the big stage, and the host briefly interviewed: "Xiao team, this is your first time to lead the team to Changsha, right? What is your impression of Changsha?"
Xiao Sijing said calmly, "We haven't had time to go out in the urban area of Changsha, but the competition venues are very well arranged."
The host smiled and said, "Then you must find time to go shopping after the game. We have a lot of special food here. Team Xiao can try it."
Xiao Sijing smiled and said, "Yes."
The host continued: "Everyone knows that you and the Sichuan team are veteran players who debuted in the first season, and they are also old rivals for many years. In the past, Qixingcao and Huaxia have fought many times, each winning and losing. Now the Sichuan team has a new dragon. Team Yin is back, as an old rival, do you have anything to say to him?"
Xiao Sijing looked back at Liu Chuan and said, "I'm glad you can come back, I haven't abused you enough."
"Yo, are you still so arrogant?" Liu Chuan picked up the microphone with a smile and said, "It's not necessarily who will abuse who. I'll have a surprise for you later."
Xiao Sijing asked, "What surprise?"
Liu Chuan said: "It's boring to say it in advance, just wait."
The two captains shouted across the air and put the host aside. The host smiled awkwardly and said, "The two are worthy of being old rivals for many years. Today's duel will definitely be very exciting, let's wait and see!"
According to the official arrangement, Zhang Shuping and Su Tong spent most of the time in the regular season of this season explaining Team Dragon's matches. Taking advantage of the gap between the two players adjusting the keyboard and mouse, the names of the two players were displayed on the big screen. Zhang Shuping and Su Tong began to quickly introduce the players from both sides.
Su Tong said: "Although Longyin has three great gods, I think the overall strength of Qixingcao is stronger than that of Longyin. Lao Xiao and Lun Shen are both great gods at the same level as Chuan Shen, and Chen Xiaobei and Xue Ke are new members of the alliance. The most talented representative of the generation of players, Qixingcao still has many experienced old players, Xiao team's tactical command ability is not inferior to Sichuan team, it can be said that today's strong duel will definitely be very exciting !"
Zhang Shuping agreed: "That's right. According to the league's official statistics, in the past 12 seasons, Team Xiao, Team Chuan, Team Shao and Team Ye have all won two championships. Among them, Xiao and Chuan were in the finals. They have played against each other the most times. The two have met four times in the finals, and they are exactly two wins and two losses! As far as I know, the two of them are actually very good friends in private, but on the field, they can be regarded as the strongest - the strongest opponent!"
The record of two wins and two losses also puts Xiao Sijing and Liu Chuan on equal footing in the league. Although Shao Zehang and Ye Chenxi among the new generation captains have also led Tongjae and Luohuaci to win two championships, their reputation and popularity are good, comparable. When Qi Xiao and Chuan came, they still lacked some qualifications.
Even the fans of Qixingcao felt that only Team Sichuan was qualified to be Team Xiao's strongest opponent.
In today's matchup, many Qixingcao fans from around Changsha came to the scene to cheer on their own initiative. Some even came all the way from Qingdao. Banners and fluorescent signs were held high. Although it was an away game, at least Don't give Lao Xiao a share in terms of momentum.
In the hearts of Qixingcao fans, Team Xiao and Lun Shen are the strongest male gods in their hearts!
As the first vice-captain of Huaxia, Zhang Shuping also knew Qixingcao very well, and predicted before the opening: "Based on what I know about Team Xiao, he should not appear in person in the arena stage of this match. There is a high probability that a young apprentice will appear in the arena, and as for the defending general, it is likely to be Ye Zhou or Lun Shen; on Longyin's side, Zewen and Xu Ce are the must-haves in the arena, and the other one is not necessarily."
Su Tong smiled and said, "You really have a say in this game. The captain on one side is your good buddy, and the other side is an old opponent. Let's see if Shu Ping's prediction is correct?"
Just as the players on both sides were adjusted, the ring match officially started.
The first player sent by Longyin team was indeed Wu Zewen, while the player sent by Qixingcao was Xue Ke. Zhang Shuping's prediction was completely correct, and he smiled proudly to the camera: "I guessed it right!"
"..." The audience at the scene were not in the mood to pay attention to this long-winded commentary, and everyone's eyes were on the picture selection interface on the big screen.
Wu Zewen sat in the contestants' seat and selected a very familiar map from the map library - Peach Blossom Island.
The audience was stunned.
- isn't it? Such a simple map
- A rookie-only map with a difficulty of only three stars, appearing in a high-level professional league... Is this appropriate
Wu Zewen pressed OK with a calm expression, and the audience looked at each other in dismay.
In the professional league map library, Peach Blossom Island is the simplest one. It has never appeared in the entire thirteen seasons of competition. Chuan Shen really will refresh the lower limit.
Zhang Shuping was speechless for a long time before explaining: "This selection... is really surprising, but the character of the Sichuan team is also reasonable."
Su Tong asked curiously, "What does this map say?"
Zhang Shuping explained: "There is actually a story about Peach Blossom Island. Back then, when Team Xiao was still playing online games, they brought 30 elite elite groups from the Seven Star Grass Guild to the dungeon of Peach Blossom Island and destroyed them all night. Life and death. Later, Team Xiao asked Huaxia’s then-chairman Haina Baichuan to help command, and then Chuan Shen took them through the dungeon in one go. Since then, Team Xiao hated the map of Peach Blossom Island very much, because It will remind him of the nightmarish experience of being tortured and killed by the boss all night."
Audiences:"… "
Zhang Shuping said with a smile: "This is the 'Black History of Team Xiao' that many people in the professional circle know about. Team Xiao has also been called a 'copy idiot' by Chuan Shen since that day. Today, Team Chuan directly chose 'Peach Blossom Island' in the arena. map, which is obviously a blatant mockery."
Audiences:"… "
In the past, Chuan Shen just smirked and hated in the competition room. Today, he even has to start taunting when he chooses a map. There is no need to say anything. The whole map is full of hatred.
However, Liu Chuan's fans couldn't help but give Liu Chuan a thumbs up in their hearts - as expected of the Sichuan team, this kind of silent ridicule will make people particularly depressing.
At this time, Liu Chuan was sitting smilingly chatting with Lan Weiran in the soundproof room of Longyin team, recalling the tragedy of the copy of Seven Star Grass, he chose the map of Peach Blossom Island where Xiao Sijing once destroyed the whole night, this "surprise" really made Xiao Si Jing was surprised.
The members of the Seven Star Grass team looked a little complicated when they saw their captain being laughed at openly.
Su Shilun said unhappily: "This Liu Chuan is obviously mocking us for being dungeon idiots... Is it so funny to kill the group overnight?"
The teammates next to him couldn't help but complain in their hearts: Team Xiao led 30 masters to live and die all night, it's really funny!
Not to mention that as a Shaolin, he has never been able to hold the boss. Just in a dungeon of 30 people, he actually had people divided into 5 teams to fight 5 bosses. This kind of strange tactical idea is enough to make people laugh at it for several years. Road kill boss, do you think you are splitting the road to capture the flag? Team Shaw
As a result, he was tortured into tears by the boss, and Xiao Sijing lay flat as soon as the boss moved over.
The ridiculed Xiao Sijing himself was very calm and said, "Don't pay attention to Liu Chuan, he just likes to play tricks like this."
— What about a copy idiot? I'll torture you to death later!
…
In fact, Liu Chuan chose the map of Peach Blossom Island for other reasons besides the large-scale ridicule - the duel with Seven Star Grass can be said to be the most difficult battle in the regular season, precisely because it is a rare match against the top team. The opportunity to fight, so in the ring stage, Liu Chuan will voluntarily give up the terrain advantage and choose a simple map to fight head-on.
Terrain advantage is a "home strategy" if it sounds good, but it is "opportunistic" if it sounds ugly. Just like Wu Zewen, who was a novice at the time, could use the maze terrain to fly a kite to drag the deer to death, the Longyin team often used the terrain in the regular season. points, but in the playoffs, all captains have a comprehensive understanding of your tactics, and the impact of the terrain will become weaker and weaker.
If the players are dependent on the home terrain, it will be difficult to do it at that time.
Therefore, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, it is also necessary for Zewen and Xu Ce to have more head-to-head experience.
As for why let the four blue play? It's very simple. Although you can let new players go to practice during the regular season, the team's points are also a factor that must be considered. If you lose too many points in order to train new players, you can't even make it to the playoffs. Take off the rice - play.
The duel between Wu Zewen and Xue Ke finally begins.
On a map like Peach Blossom Island, Wu Zewen did not have the advantage of ambush kite opponents, and could only fight Xue Ke head-on. The two were Zhang Shuping's apprentice and Su Shilun's apprentice. It can be said that today's duel is exactly the new generation. The confrontation between the two top five poison players.
Wu Zewen had also beaten Wianwudu from other teams before, but he knew that the strongest player in the Wianwudu must be Xue Ke, who was brought out by Lun Shen himself. Talent is not lost to many great gods in the alliance. Therefore, Wu Zewen did not take it lightly. He was very cautious from the beginning, and followed the middle road to the center of Peach Blossom Island.
The scenery on this map is extremely beautiful. The petals of pink peach blossoms are constantly falling, and the ground is also covered with a thick carpet of petals. The moment the two purple figures met in the middle of the map, they both shot at the same time!
Xue Ke threw the dark green whip in his hand with a "swipe", and was about to force Wu Zewen under control, but the latter was quick to summon his pet, only to hear a "quack", a huge toad He successfully helped the master to block the control of this move, and at the same time, he flew to the master bravely, and used his thick-skinned body to help the master absorb all the damage.
All this happened in a flash, Xue Ke saw that the first mover failed, but he was not in a hurry and calmly distanced himself from the opponent.
The protection of the toad is for 5 seconds, and there is no need to attack Wu Zewen during these 5 seconds, because he knows that the toad will absorb all the damage for the owner, even if he kills the opponent's toad with all his strength, Wu Zewen can also kill the toad when the toad is dying. If you sacrifice it immediately, then all your attacks will be in vain.
—Master is right, it is very important to calculate the pet summoning time and skill time when encountering players of the Five Poison Gu worm genre.
Xue Ke smartly stopped the attack, which can be regarded as saving himself some skills and mana, and not doing useless work.
But Wu Zewen didn't stop. Using the 5-second pet protection period, he quickly jumped forward and kept within the attacking distance of Xue Ke. The worm flute in his hand raised at the same time. Poison devours the heart"!
Wu Zewen's actions are as fast as lightning, summoning pets to resist damage, taking pets to control the distance lightly, and then decisively stacking the opponent with a poisoned state. In just 5 seconds, he made a set of coherent and smooth movements, waiting for "Wan Wan". After the effect of "Poison Devouring Heart" was stacked to three layers, he immediately retreated!
At this moment, the 5-second protection time of the toad just ended, Wu Zewen sacrificed the toad decisively, and directly replaced the centipede.
The agile and decisive action of retreating and advancing, and the preparation of the timing, even Zhang Shuping, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh - the little apprentice is really more and more like a god! This set just now played really beautiful!
Xue Ke didn't expect Wu Zewen to retreat so decisively. When he saw that the toad was dead and wanted to take action, Wu Zewen had already withdrawn from his attack range. He had to chase Wu Zewen lightly, but Wu Zewen brought a centipede. It will be controlled by the centipede, so that Xueke will be in a dilemma.
However, Xue Ke usually PKs with Su Shilun, and he doesn't change his face when he encounters such a situation - he wants to use a centipede to fix me? I will directly sec your pet!
Although Wu Zewen carefully controls the centipede's movement, how can the movement of pets be compared with the lightness of human beings? Xue Ke made a decisive two-stage jump in the air and jumped into the attack range. With a flick of the whip in his hand, he directly rolled over Zewen's centipede, killing him in three strokes!
At this time, you can see the potential of the young player Xue Ke. His decisive strategy and explosive hand speed at the moment just now can be regarded as the successor of Wheel God. It is also the five poisons. He also knows the pets of the five poisons very well. The toad skin is thick and difficult to fight, so he didn't do it at all, but the centipede is a very crispy pet with a magic control system, and only inherits about 20% of the owner's pet. Blood volume, second pet is the best choice at this time.
Wu Zewen's centipede was killed, and the spider was replaced.
Spiders are Wu Zewen's best pets. In previous games, he often used the terrain advantage to call spiders to pull people. The owner and pets stood in a triangle across the obstacles. They could use the spider silk to pull the opponent away to control the opponent.
However, in today's map, Liu Chuan voluntarily gave up the terrain advantage. There are many peach trees around Peach Blossom Island, but there is a vast open space in the middle, which is equivalent to a ring with open terrain, but the ground is covered with petals.
In this kind of map, he can't use the spider punching strategy. However, Wu Zewen's spider still makes Xue Ke feel very difficult. He obviously has a lot of experience in the control of spiders, and the distance maintenance and calculation are quite accurate. Xue Ke has just He was about to attack him, but was pulled back by the spider.
Xue Ke simply shifted the target and killed Wu Zewen's spider, forcing Wu Zewen to change his pet again.
The audience at the scene were a little puzzled - if this goes on, it seems that Wu Zewen has the upper hand, because Xue Ke was in a poisoned state with three layers of poisonous heart-devouring skills just now, and he has been losing blood and blue. After this period of time His blood has dropped 20%. However, because of Zewen's good distance, Xue Ke has only killed two of his pets so far, but he has not hit a corner of Wu Zewen's clothes. Zewen is still full of blood.
What surprised the audience was that Xue Ke didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. When Wu Zewen summoned the poisonous snake again, Xue Ke did not attack Wu Zewen, but dropped his snake without hesitation.
Zhang Shuping finally saw it, and said in surprise: "Xue Ke's play style... It can be said that it is a rather cunning second favoring tactic!"
"Everyone knows that the most important thing for a five-poison Gu Master is pets. Zewen is good at using pets to attack and control opponents. However, pets have a time limit for summoning, such as toads, they can only be summoned again after 45 seconds after death. , the same is true for centipedes and spiders. Four of Zewen's five pets have died so far, and as soon as his last butterfly is released, he will enter the vacuum period of pet summoning! For the crispy five poisons, this is quite Terrible situation!"
The so-called "vacuum period of pet summoning" means that all five pets of the five poisons are in a cooling state, and none of them can be summoned. At this time, there are no pets around the five poisons that can be used. As a player of the summoning department, pets The five poisons of death light are equivalent to fully exposing the crispy self under the blade of the enemy.
Zhang Shuping was also a little anxious for his apprentice. Did Zewen realize this? Xue Ke deliberately stopped his pet during the cooldown time of the card, forcing him to change pets. If he didn't discover this as soon as possible, he would gradually fall into the opponent's rhythm.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Shuping's voice fell, Wu Zewen, who knew nothing about everything, summoned a butterfly.
Butterfly can control the opponent's field of vision, and it is a group attack pet with very high damage. But the existence of butterflies is the shortest of the five pets. Other pets can stay by the owner's side as long as they don't die, but butterflies are temporary pets. They summon a wave of poisonous butterflies, which instantly suppress the opponent's vision and cause group attack damage, and then the butterflies will disappear on their own, similar to a group. Attack the big move.
Wu Zewen's butterfly really lowered Xue Ke's HP again. At the same time, Wu Zewen used the opponent's 3 seconds of losing his vision to hit another set of Poison Devouring Heart, which made the opponent's poisoning state stack up again.
Xue Ke's blood volume began to drop rapidly... However, at the moment when the blindness effect ended, Xue Ke moved!
The serious-faced young man was operating his Five Poisons Male account, and a quick leap jumped to Wu Zewen's right side, and swung the long whip in his hand. The dark green whip wrapped around the opponent's waist like a spirit snake with eyes, and the mouse moved quickly. As soon as he slipped, Wu Zewen was thrown out by the long whip!
Wu Zewen's vision in front of him was chaotic, but Xue Ke quickly followed a set of whip combos at this moment. Hit directly to hit 30% of the blood!
It can be seen that Xue Ke has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Taking advantage of the vacuum period when there are no pets around Zewen, a set of outbreaks completely pulled back the initial disadvantage!
