Time flies fast, four days have passed, and the day of the 13th season playoffs has finally arrived.
According to the arrangement of the schedule, the playoffs will be played once a day. On the afternoon of June 14th, the first game of Qixingcao VS Canglan in Group A, the first game of Tongque VS Shengtang in Group B on the afternoon of June 15th, and Group A on the afternoon of June 16th. The second Luohuaci VS Xuelang, the second Huaxia VS Longyin in Group B on the afternoon of the 17th.
This cross-arrangement not only facilitates live events and revenue from tickets and advertisements, but also gives professional players a buffer time for rest and adjustment.
The four games in the first round will determine the winner's group and the loser's group. Longyin is scheduled for the last game on the 17th. Liu Chuan also feels fortunate that there are many newcomers to Longyin, which can be used for a few days. Time to take everyone to the stadium to feel the atmosphere, and learn more about the rules of the next playoffs by the way.
However, a special feature of the playoffs is that in addition to the official commentator, there will be a special guest commentator. Liu Chuan is also fortunate to be the first special guest in this playoff.
The game started on time at 3 pm. Liu Chuan went to the backstage ahead of time. Lan Weiran and Qin Ye took the entire Longyin team to the scene to watch. As a result, everyone came to see that Huaxia, Tongque, Shengtang, Xuelang and others The group of people from Luo Huaci were all present, and they all bought tickets for the VIP stand at the same time.
Ye Chenxi smiled and walked over to Lan Weiran, and said, "Master, do you guys also come to watch the game?"
Lan Weiran said: "Well, the first game of the playoffs, by the way, let you familiarize yourself with the rules."
Ye Chenxi consciously changed seats with others to sit next to Lan Weiran, and the others took their seats according to the number plates on the tickets.
Yang Jian's seat happened to be right next to Qin Ye's. When he came over and saw Qin Ye standing there, Qin Ye smiled and said, "Is this your seat?"
Yang Jian blushed embarrassedly, and Fang Zhiyan smiled slightly beside him: "Let's change, I'll sit inside."
Yang Jian, who was rescued, immediately went to sit next to the captain in gratitude. Fang Zhiyan came over to sit next to Qin Ye and politely said, "What a coincidence."
Qin Ye said, "Well, you all came here too?"
Fang Zhiyan said: "Yes, the game starts in the afternoon, and everyone is not in the mood to train, so come to the scene to feel the atmosphere."
In fact, being familiar with the rules and feeling the atmosphere is secondary. It is the most important to take a closer look at the lineup of each major team.
There is only one game in the afternoon in the playoffs every day, and the venue is very close to the hotel. Anyway, there is no rush for daily training in those two hours. Watching a game is often more rewarding than immersing in training. consensus.
At this time, Liu Chuan was chatting with Zhang Shuping in the backstage corridor, while the players of Qixingcao and Canglan were preparing in the lounge.
Liu Chuan said humbly: "This is the first time for me to do a commentary, and I have no experience. You have to cover me." This is what Wu Zewen taught him, don't praise yourself, be humble.
Zhang Shuping said: "Come on, how do you explain to your teammates when you are watching a game? You will explain to the audience later."
Liu Chuan immediately became immodest: "My explanation is too high-end, and the audience will not understand."
Zhang Shuping stretched out his hand to beat him, and Liu Chuan immediately dodged to dodge. This flash happened to the corner of the corridor, and he found a familiar figure walking out of the lounge—it was Li Cangyu, the captain of the Canglan team.
Liu Chuan glanced back out of curiosity. There was a slender boy standing in the corridor, about 175cm tall, wearing a white peaked cap to cover half of his face, when he saw Li Cangyu, he walked forward with a smile and said: " Cat God, long time no see, still so handsome!"
The young man has a clear voice and a bright smile. Although he looks a little thin, his funny appearance is full of energy.
Li Cangyu reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "You made a special trip to the backstage to see me?"
The teenager said, "Well, I'm watching the game today, and I'll drop by the backstage to find you. Come on later!"
Li Cangyu nodded: "Yes."
The boy said, "Then I won't bother you. Go back and prepare. The game is about to start. Let's talk after the comparison."
Li Cangyu smiled and said, "Goodbye."
After a brief exchange, Li Cangyu returned to the lounge, and the boy turned and left.
Liu Chuan touched his chin suspiciously. He always felt that this young man was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it...
Zhang Shuping wondered: "What are you looking at? Is there something going on in the corridor?"
Liu Chuan looked back: "Nothing... Should we play?"
Zhang Shuping looked at his watch and said, "Well, let's go."
The two came to the commentary room from the player channel and sat down. The playoffs were naturally several times more lively than the regular season. The audience was full, and various posters and cheering slogans were held at the scene. Obviously, the seven-star grass He Canglan's fans also came a lot.
The warm-up host was drawing a lottery, and there was a deafening applause. Liu Chuan and Zhang Shuping sat down in the commentary room and put on earplugs to debug the equipment. Zhang Shuping pointed to the location of the photographer, and taught Liu Chuan to look at the camera when he was explaining later, and Liu Chuan nodded to show his understanding.
The lottery draw was over, the director signaled that it could start, and the footage on the big screen finally moved to the commentary room.
When the audience saw the two people appearing on the screen, they immediately began to cheer excitedly!
The audience who watched the live broadcast online showed a large row of ellipses, obviously everyone was very surprised by this.
Zhang Shuping said with a smile: "Good afternoon, audience friends! This is the site of the 13th season playoffs of the official Wulin Professional League. I am the commentator Zhang Shuping. The one sitting next to me today, I believe everyone is very familiar, please join us. Shout out what his ID is?"
Everyone shouted in unison: "The sea is open to all rivers!"
The four words formed by the voices of countless people went straight to the sky, and the professional players sitting in the front row were collectively speechless—the mysterious guest was actually him!
Zhang Shuping said: "Yes, today we are very honored to invite Chuan Shen as the commentator of this game, everyone welcome!"
Liu Chuan said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Haina Baichuan."
Liu Chuan, who is wearing a formal suit, looks different from usual. He is handsome and like a gentleman, but in fact, everyone knows his personality. It's okay to lie to the newcomer with a skin in a suit. It will definitely make many people want to strangle him.
But I have to admit that he is really handsome in a suit. Liu Chuan has a good figure. He is 185cm tall, well-proportioned and slender. He is completely a hanger model in a formal suit. Today, he obviously took care of his hair - he seems to want to Handsome to a new height, use his face to pull hatred.
Xiaoyu said excitedly, "Look at Zewen, our captain looks pretty in a suit."
Wu Zewen let out a "hmm", looking at the magnified Liu Chuan on the big screen, his heartbeat could not help speeding up a little... It's true that someone is quite handsome, and his appearance can deceive a lot of people, but he is also really cheeky in front of Wu Zewen, and he is shameless is simply frustrating.
Zhang Shuping said, "By the way, this is the first time Chuan Shen has been a commentator, right? How does it feel to sit in the commentary room?"
Liu Chuan thought about it and said, "It's very cool."
Zhang Shuping: "..."
Who asked you this, I rely on it! Just can't communicate happily.
Zhang Shuping slashed Liu Chuan ten times in his heart, and on the surface he had to laugh and say: "That's right, the air conditioner is always on in our commentary room. Well, the question about feelings is not discussed further, let's discuss today. Let’s face it, in today’s match, do you think Qixingcao or Canglan has a better chance of winning?”
Liu Chuan said with a smile: "The seven-star grass has a score of 250 in the regular season, which is higher than Canglan."
Seven Star Grass fans: "… "
Can't you say the regular season first? It must be said that two hundred and five are definitely intentional, right
Liu Chuan continued to say seriously: "In terms of overall strength, Qixingcao is naturally superior. I think everyone knows this."
Zhang Shuping said, "What do you predict the score will be?"
Liu Chuan said: "I think it should be possible to decide the winner within four rounds, without having to play a tiebreaker. The difference between the two sides should be... 10 points or more."
audience:"… "
Everyone is very surprised by this statement. The playoffs are two rounds of arena, 3+3, two rounds, 6+6, four rounds with a total of 18 points. If the first four rounds happen to be tied at 9:9, there will be an additional random map. A tiebreaker, similar to overtime in a tie in a sporting event.
Liu Chuan said that the difference between the winning and losing points in the four rounds is more than 10 points. Does that mean that the 18 points in the first four rounds will have a disparity score of 14:4
This score prediction was equivalent to a crushing game in the playoffs, and the fans of the Canglan team were immediately unhappy.
Zhang Shuping also glanced at him and reminded Liu Chuan not to be too direct: "Is the difference a bit big? Can Chuan Shen analyze it?"
Liu Chuan obviously didn't feel Zhang Shuping's brain waves, and calmly analyzed: "Team Canglan has obvious weaknesses. Captain Cat God and Healing White Fox are both top players, but the other players are relatively average. For the team's cooperation, Cat God He has been restraining his own style of play, and the other players of the Canglan team can't keep up with his awareness and hand speed, which makes the Canglan team easy to get out of touch during teamfights. Just like a bucket of water is not the longest. How high a board is, depends on how low the shortest board is. Cat God is the tallest board, but Canglan's overall board height is almost half lower than his."
audience:"… "
Zhang Shuping: "..."
I rely on this as a match commentary, not a pre-match analysis seminar for Longyin, can you not be so direct, bro!
Zhang Shuping slashed Liu Chuan ten times in the bottom of his heart, and looked back at Liu Chuan with a smile.
Liu Chuan has not yet received Zhang Shuping's gaze, and continued to say seriously: "I am very sure of the strength of the cat god, but there is almost no suspense about the overall strength of the team. The five players Shen, Xue Ke, Xiaobei and Ye Zhou are all players with very strong personal ability and can play in the ring. Although the strength of Canglan Old Cat is top-notch, it is very difficult for other players to play Qixingcao. This means that Canglan basically has no chance of winning in the arena stage. I also said in team battles, Lao Mao's personal ability is too strong and it is easy to get out of touch with the team, he needs to slow down to cooperate with the team, and the team battle of Qixingcao has always been very It's powerful, so Canglan's chances of winning in the teamfight stage aren't great."
"..." Zhang Shuping was very helpless. Liu Chuan couldn't stop it when he analyzed the situation. He blamed himself for being so cheap. Why let him analyze it? He directly treated it as a team analysis lecture. Although Liu Chuan's straight temper is very reasonable, and his analysis is clear, but he will undoubtedly offend the fans of the Canglan team. He should be more tactful and euphemistic when explaining.
Liu Chuan continued to hate Zhang Shuping, so he had to help him round the field: "Well, Chuan Shen's analysis makes sense, of course, this is only a theoretical analysis. During the game, things change rapidly, and miracles often happen. Today's confrontation will definitely be very exciting. Team Canglan also has hope."
Just as Liu Chuan was about to say there was no hope, Zhang Shuping interrupted him immediately: "Okay, the players from both sides are preparing in the soundproof room, the game will start soon, everyone watch an advertisement first!"
The director was also a false alarm, and quickly cut out the advertisement screen.
The style of Chuan Shen's commentary is indeed very professional. This is simply the team's pre-match analysis conference. Can you still be unprofessional? But the audience will not feel well psychologically, especially the audience who like the Canglan team must hate Liu Chuan.
But this can't be blamed on him, after all, he's the captain rather than a professional commentator, and he can't tell if he can play the emotional card and blow Cang Lan to counterattack.
The interrupted Liu Chuan looked at Zhang Shuping innocently. Zhang Shuping said in a low voice, "This is a live broadcast, so please be polite."
Liu Chuan said seriously: "I'm very objective."
"...It's polite, not objective!" Zhang Shuping was speechless, "Have you thought about it, this game is going to be replayed later, what will the members of the Canglan team think when they hear you say that? If you are a professional commentator, it's fine. , The venomous commentary that is not afraid of offending people with a straight temper is also very popular in the e-sports circle, but you are the captain of Long Yin, everyone will look up and see you, how embarrassing you will be in the future."
Liu Chuan touched his nose: "It seems that too."
Zhang Shuping reluctantly said: "You actually entered the rhythm of tactical analysis, are you an 'occupational disease'?"
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Cough, I'm used to being the captain, it's like this."
Zhang Shuping is the former vice-captain of Huaxia. When they were in Huaxia, they took the first team members to analyze tactics. Zhang Shuping would also express his opinions directly. It is estimated that he would be very hard after changing his career as a commentator. But I can't say that, knowing that a certain team will lose, but politely saying that there is hope and possible counterattack... This is also quite tiring.
Thinking of this, Liu Chuan couldn't help but patted his buddy's shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, don't come to me after explaining the game."
Zhang Shuping said with a smile: "It's okay, everyone knows your temper, you must have completely offended Canglan's fans this time, I don't think I will pay much attention to the old cat... What's going on with Canglan, in fact, he is more than you in his heart. I know better."
Liu Chuan sighed: "Well, I think it's a pity for him to stay in Canglan. The gap between his personal strength and team strength is too great. Unless Canglan changes blood, it will be difficult to win the award."
Just as he was talking, the director gestured that the game had started.
The two stopped chatting, and the camera on the big screen also turned back to the explanation room.
Zhang Shuping's face changed so fast, he immediately smiled and said, "Friends in the audience, welcome back! The first game of Group A of the 13th season playoffs, the game of Qixingcao VS Canglan is about to start! Let's go first! Let's take a look at the information of the two players!"
The information of the contestants of both sides was displayed on the big screen. Zhang Shuping introduced it quickly and said, "The referee has signaled that the two sides are ready. Next is the pre-match draw. Let's wait for the results of the draw for the captains of both sides."
Xiao Sijing and Li Cangyu walked to the referee at the same time to draw lots.
The lottery is the order of map selection in the arena and team battles. The first selection and the second selection, the party who chooses the map will send players first.
The team who chooses the map in the playoffs actually has little advantage in the arena, because the map selection also means that you have to send players first, and it is easy to be targeted by the latter. After selecting a map, you must first send a player, and Canglan will decide who to send to fight according to the people you send. This is completely different from the practice of arranging the ring list in advance in the regular season.
- The playoffs are sent to the scene, so it is even more exciting!
