In the evening, Liu Chuan gathered all the members of the Longyin team in the hotel room for a small meeting, and said, "After watching today's game, you all know the rules and atmosphere of the playoffs, right?"
"Yeah." Xiaoyu said, "It's much more intense than the regular season, especially in the ring stage. It's very exciting."
Liu Chuan smiled and said: "That's right, the arena matches in the playoffs are all dispatched on the spot, so I can't arrange in advance who will be dispatched for this match with Huaxia, but I have some ideas to follow. Let's talk about it."
As he spoke, he took out the Huaxia team's notebook and the Canglan team's pen from his bag, and explained while writing: "Generally speaking, it is possible for me, Yeye and Silan to enter the first arena, and they will explode in the arena stage. If it is too much, the team battle will be easily fatigued, and we need time to buffer and rest, so the probability of a few of us playing in the second round of the arena is not high, so we will leave it to the three of you, Zewen, Lin Tong, and Xu Ce."
The three who were named nodded earnestly.
"In addition, I want to say that Xu Ce and Lin Tong are the main players in the ring. I may send you both in the first and second rounds according to the form on the field." Liu Chuan looked at Lin Tong and Xu Policy, "You have to be ready to fight at any time, or even prepare to play two consecutive games."
Lin Tong said, "I know."
Xu Ce also nodded: "Understood."
"The commander-in-chief of Huaxia is me. Among the damage players, Qin Ye is concentrating on preparing for the team battle. Silan and Zewen need to prepare for the ring. In terms of support, it is tentatively scheduled to play the first game in a while. If Huaxia's lineup is not good with Wudang support, we will adjust it temporarily. It is also possible that Silan will play support in the second game..." Liu Chuan paused and looked at it. To everyone, "In short, all the lineups that our Longyin team has tried in the regular season must be reviewed and rehearsed in the past few days, so as not to cooperate too unfamiliarly at that time. Everyone relax and show your best state. Come on, do your best!"
Everyone said in unison, "I know!"
— No one wants to lose, especially in the knockout playoffs.
In the past few days, all the teams are secretly training and studying tactics, and all the mysterious trump cards prepared by the captains of the major teams have come to their hands. The competition has become more and more intense, and the competition has entered a stage of intense heat.
On the afternoon of June 15, the Bronze Sparrow VS Shengtang match in Group B was played for two full hours.
This match was extremely difficult for Tong Que, because Yan Ziyi, a map analyst in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, all the map selection and tactical arrangements were aimed at Lu Xiang. Lu Xiang was very helpless, and he couldn't change his natural road-crazy attribute, but Xiaolu also smashed the maze in half with a stick in the ring match, but he still lost, and the audience felt a little distressed for him.
The score between the two sides was very tight. The first four games were tied 9:9, and it was until the final game of the fifth game. The random map was Luoxia Slope with flat terrain. Tongjak's frontal teamfight strength was slightly stronger than that of Tang Dynasty. , the kite tactics of the prosperous Tang did not work well on this barrier-free plain. In the end, Tongque relied on the advantage of melee violence to cut the battlefield and won the flag of the decisive game in horror, winning 11:9.
The Bronze Sparrow advanced to the next round of Group B, and Shengtang entered the loser's group to wait for the resurrection.
On the afternoon of June 16th, Luohuaci VS Xuelang also played very fiercely. Both sides scored 3 points in the two rounds of the ring match. In the team battle stage, the third round of Luohuaci’s selection map appeared again. Home curse Ye Chenxi used the combination of terrain and Xiaoyao Teleportation Array to directly shave Xuelang's head and win 3 flags in a row, but Xuelang's home court did not have much advantage and won 2 red and blue flags. Accidentally taken away by Luo Huaci, the final score of the first 4 rounds was 10:8, and the Snow Wolf team unfortunately lost by 2 points.
Luo Huaci advanced to the next round of Group A, and Xuelang entered the loser's group to wait for resurrection.
On the evening of the 16th, the members of the Longyin team gathered again.
The next day was the last game of the first round of the playoffs - Longyin vs. Huaxia. Everyone was excited and a little nervous at the same time.
The current situation in Group B is that the Tongjak has advanced to the second round, and Shengtang is in the lower bracket to be determined. If they win Huaxia, they will advance to the next round to play the Tongjak. If they lose, they will go to the lower bracket. Play the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The pressure on the loser group is definitely greater, so it is best to win this game against Huaxia.
Although many newcomers are playing in the playoffs for the first time, this game was directed by Liu Chuan, the old captain of Huaxia, and everyone is full of confidence in the Sichuan team.
Everyone chatted until 10 p.m. Liu Chuan finally explained the precautions to everyone, and asked everyone to go back to rest early, while he turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out of the shower, he saw Wu Zewen sitting in front of the computer and studying something seriously, with a very focused expression on his side face. It is said that serious men are the most handsome. His family is especially handsome when he is serious, and his elegant appearance with glasses is particularly attractive. It is a waste not to be a scientist with such a rigorous attitude.
However, Xueba would occasionally be a bit stunned. For example, Liu Chuan quietly walked behind him, but he didn't notice it at all.
Liu Chuan smiled slightly, hugged him from behind, turned his head and kissed him.
Wu Zewen, who was suddenly attacked, was stunned for a moment, and then his ears were reddened by the kiss, and he stretched out his hand to push Liu Chuan: "Well... don't make trouble..."
Liu Chuan refused to obey, cheekily continued to kiss him, sticking his tongue in for a deep kiss, Wu Zewen pushed it hard this time, seeing Liu Chuan being rude, he had no choice but to bite Liu Chuan hard.
"Well..." Liu Chuan, who was bitten, let go of Wu Zewen in shock, and then said aggrievedly: "Why are you biting me..."
Wu Zewen blushed and said, "I'm checking something, don't make trouble."
Liu Chuan wiped the corner of his bitten lips with the back of his hand, sat next to him with interest, took him into his arms, and asked, "What are you looking for? Tell me."
Wu Zewen explained seriously: "Aren't you always worried that China's Cheng Wei will become a variable in the game? I went back and re-read China's game video in the past few days and found that this player rarely played in this regular season, and he even played many times. He didn't show up at all, and it's a bit unreasonable... I searched for his name, but this name is relatively common, the repetition rate is too high, and there are various identities and positions... "
As Wu Zewen said that, he opened a webpage from his favorites and pulled the mouse to the bottom: "After several days of searching and screening, I found a person with a special identity and an age that matches Cheng Wei from China. You Come take a look."
Wu Zewen pointed to the computer screen, Liu Chuan leaned over to take a look, and was immediately surprised: "The vice-captain of the Time Team, the young genius of the Miracle Professional League - the White Mage? What is this?"
Liu Chuan did not expect such a result.
Detective Zewen was really attentive in investigating things, and he actually found the Miracle Professional League, and this was the introduction page of last season.
The player introduction on the official website of the Miracle Professional League contains detailed information and photos of the players. Liu Chuan was sure at first glance—this person was the boy he saw in the background when he was explaining the game that day! He likes to wear a white peaked cap, has a clear voice, and looks sunny and energetic when he laughs. He ran to the backstage to comfort the old cat, obviously knowing the old cat.
-I see!
The old friend that the cat god said was an old friend who had known for a long time at Miracle.
No wonder at the time that this young man looked familiar, but Liu Chuan had seen him in the group photo of the players of the Huaxia team. It's just that this young man likes to wear hats very much, and there is a big gap between the real person and the photo. Liu Chuan is not familiar with him, so he didn't recognize him.
"Maybe it's just a coincidental repetition of the name? But I think it looks a bit like looking at the photos... Do you see it?" Wu Zewen said seriously. He has face blindness himself, and he can't tell whether this Cheng Wei and Huaxia's Cheng Wei are the same person. They look alike or not, so he asked Liu Chuan to take a look and confirm.
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "It's him right, I finally understand what's going on."
"It's really him?" Wu Zewen was surprised. "Then, since he is a miraculous professional player, why did he go to the Huaxia team?"
"The start time for Miracles is different from that of Wulin. There have been no matches in the past few months. If he wants to play cross-game matches, he only needs to submit an application to the alliance, go through the formalities, and register successfully." Liu Chuan turned around and said Zewen explained, "This has happened before. At that time, the income of e-sports competitions was very low. In order to survive, many masters played several games at the same time to earn several bonuses, but now the situation has improved, and most professional players will Only focus on one area that you like. But if you want to cross-game, it's okay, didn't the old cat also bring a group of people here?"
Wu Zewen adjusted his glasses and said, "So it seems that the Huaxia team has invited a strong foreign aid?"
"That's right." Liu Chuan said.
- This mysterious foreign aid arranged by Huaxia really surprised Liu Chuan.
According to the introduction on the official website of Miracles, the player's name is Cheng Wei, whose ID is "the only exclusive". He officially debuted at the age of 16. When he debuted, he followed the Time team and won the runner-up, won the Best Newcomer of the Year Award, and took over the role of Time. The vice-captain of the team, directly led the Time team to win the championship in the second year, and won the MVP award of the most valuable player of the year, so he was also called "young genius" by people in the circle.
He and Lu Xiang's path to becoming a god is almost exactly the same - a genius player who was conferred a god in just two years.
The difference is that Xiaoluxiang is very confused, he is still a foodie, he doesn't know anything about tactics, his style of play is bloody and violent, and he is a typical melee fast break player. And this Cheng Wei, who played the White Mage, was a typical long-range slow-playing player who seemed to have more tactical literacy than Lu Xiang.
Although Liu Chuan does not play the game "Miracle", since it is as famous as "Wulin", Liu Chuan has heard of many things about this game. After all, he often encounters "God" in comprehensive events such as TGA. For example, the first time he met Lao Mao was at the TGA Grand Prix, when Li Cangyu played Summoner.
Different from the Tangmen summoning puppets and the five poisons summoning poisons in the martial arts, the summoner Li Cangyu played at the beginning could summon all kinds of elves. Even if the background of this online game is different, the principle itself will not make much difference. , the summoning professions are all in the "multi-line operation" mode, and you can easily control the summoner who lets Liu Chuan play miracles.
Miracle is a Western fantasy game. There are two kinds of magic occupations, black magic and white magic. They are mainly based on magic attacks. Liu Chuan knew the introduction about Cheng Wei, and immediately sent a text message to Qin Ye and Lan Weiran. : "Go to room 7301, there is an urgent matter to discuss."
It's rare for the captain to send text messages in such an eyebrow-raising tone, and it's rare that he didn't bring a hateful smiley :), obviously the matter is more serious.
Therefore, Qin Ye came over from next door within half a minute.
"What's wrong with your mouth?" Qin Ye's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he noticed that there was something wrong with Liu Chuan's mouth. Wu Zewen's ears instantly turned red when he heard this, but Liu Chuan was calm and said with a smile: "When eating Accidentally bitten."
Wu Zewen: "..."
Qin Ye glanced at him without asking any further questions. He frowned and said, "You called me over in the middle of the night. Is there anything urgent?"
"I'm here." Lan Weiran also came in at this time, yawning lazily and said, "I just got into bed to go to bed, and you got up again, you better have a reason to convince me."
"Of course there is something very important." Liu Chuan said rarely seriously, "Zewen searched for the player 'Cheng Wei' in China these days and found out the true identity of this mysterious player. Zewen, you give them two Take a look at the results you found."
Wu Zewen nodded and brought the notebook over to show everyone.
Qin Ye and Lan Weiran looked at Wu Zewen's computer screen together and suddenly looked surprised: "A miracle?"
"That's right." Liu Chuan said, "Professional Miracle League, vice-captain of Champion Time Team, young genius, and the strongest white magician."
"..." Qin Ye and Lan Weiran looked at each other and didn't speak.
Liu Chuan went on to say: "It is extremely rare for such a god-level player to play across games, and he is not like an old cat. He led the team to transfer after the team was disbanded. Cheng Wei's time team was on the miraculous side. The championship team, the worth of this vice-captain is more than 10 million, so why come to Huaxia to make soy sauce
Qin Ye's brows furrowed even tighter, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "So, it seems that there must be a signal from the top of the club, right? Since Cheng Wei is the vice-captain, he can't just mess around, and the data from the alliance will be transferred. , the registration procedures are not so easy to handle.”
"I thought so too, so I made a bold guess." Liu Chuan touched his chin and said, "My senior, Li Hui, the boss behind the Huaxia team, may have reached out to the miracle. Team Time should have his shares, and even Team Time may be the team he invested in, it would be quite convenient for him to mobilize his players to come over as foreign aid, they belong to the same club, and players must listen to the boss.”
Qin Ye: "..."
Lan Weiran: "..."
Liu Chuan's analysis is very reasonable.
If this assumption is true, then the Miracle Time team that Cheng Wei is in is a division of the same club as the Wulin Huaxia team led by Liang Haibin and Xie Guangyi.
Some large-scale e-sports clubs in China will expand into multiple game fields to develop in the later stage if they have sufficient funds, becoming a comprehensive club and raising several teams at the same time. It's just that many teams and clubs in the martial arts are still in the stage of entertaining themselves. I didn't expect Li Hui to be the first person to eat crabs.
Senior Li Hui's many concepts of running the team are at odds with Liu Chuan, which is one of the reasons why Liu Chuan left Huaxia in the first place. However, I have to admit that Li Hui is still very smart in business.
Since they play for the same club, the captains of different divisions must have a good relationship. Liang Haibin and Xie Guangyi must be very familiar with Cheng Wei. The training room is next door, and they eat in the same dining hall every day. familiar
Therefore, what Wu Zewen guessed before "Cheng Wei, a player who has not played in the regular season, will play abnormally" is completely invalid. Rookies definitely need to be trained, but for a great player of Cheng Wei's level, sitting on the bench for a few rounds will not affect his state at all.
Just like Liu Chuan, even if he hadn't played in the ring for a whole season, wouldn't the last match easily end the torture of Yang Jian? As long as Cheng Wei maintains his practice and feel, he will definitely be the strongest support for the Huaxia team when he is on the field!
Because the truth was too shocking, several people were silent for a moment.
Lan Weiran read the introduction on the official website carefully before saying with a smile: "Liu Chuan, it seems that Huaxia is really jealous of you. They have invited some talented young people from Miracles to be foreign aid, and they have hidden them for a whole season. It's a must for the playoffs."
"... This is something that can't be helped." Liu Chuan said helplessly, "I know too much about Huaxia, and many people in Huaxia are brought out by me. If Li Hui wants to target me, he can only show this kind of me completely. The ace player who he doesn't know has hidden the entire regular season like a little transparent. He is also careful enough. However, he probably never dreamed that our team has a detective named Wu Zewen."
Having said that, I looked back at Wu Zewen, smiled and reached out and rubbed Wu Zewen's head, and said, "Zewen, you are so handsome, you can find all this, if it weren't for you, I would never have dreamed that Li Hui would still be there. Play this trick with me."
Wu Zewen avoided the captain's claws and asked earnestly, "Now that we have identified his identity, what should we do next?"
Liu Chuan took his hand back and said, "As long as you understand his style of play, you can guess Huaxia's layout. Before Lao Mao played Summoner in Miracle, and after coming to Wulin, he played Puppet Tang Sect. Both are Summoning. Generally speaking, top players don't change their style casually. For example, Lu Xiang, he likes to play melee even if he changes games, and it is impossible to play remote mage. This Cheng Wei, since he is playing white mage on the side of the miraculous, Then he must also play remote mage when he switched to this side... Then it can only be a genre."
Qin Ye said, "Wudang Qizong's field control flow?"
Liu Chuan and Lan Weiran both nodded.
In the game of martial arts, the only one with the strongest spell attack is Wudang Qizong.
Although the spells of the five poisons are also strong, the attack of the five poisons requires the use of pets, and the play is actually more like a summoner. Xiaoyao's spell control field is very powerful, but its damage is not as good as Wudang's. It mainly relies on combined strike skills and Xiaoyao's Qinggong to fight guerrillas, with strong flexibility. Only Qizong Wudang, although the weapon is a long sword, hurts people with silent "sword qi", the damage is extremely high, most of Qizong Wudang's skills need to be read, and there are many control skills, just right Similar to the remote mage in the Western Fantasy game.
Wu Zewen adjusted his glasses and looked at Liu Chuan: "So, in the teamfight stage in Huaxia, it is possible to have two Qi Zong Wudangs in a dual-control lineup? And this Cheng Wei's one-on-one ability should not be weak, very Maybe he'll be in the ring too."
"That's it." Liu Chuan said, "Fortunately, I found out in advance, otherwise it would be very difficult to meet on the spot. I am not good at commanding the team battle in this game, and the long-range output of me and Zewen on the opposite side is not good. It’s easy to fight, because our puppets and pets will all be affected by the deceleration, and if the attack distance can’t reach Liang Haibin and Cheng Wei, they will be dragged to death by the opponent’s living consumption... We simply change to a more explosive system.”
Qin Ye and Lan Weiran looked at each other, and at the same time came to the conclusion, "Chopter flow?"
Liu Chuan smiled: "That's right!"
The captain's idea is actually very simple. It's not easy to fight the full lineup of mages from a distance. Let's just use a melee kitchen knife to chop your crispy mages.
Immediately afterwards, he called Xu Ce again, but Jiang Shaoqing picked it up and asked, "Team Chuan, is there anything? Xu Ce was taking a shower, so I picked it up first when I saw the caller ID. "
"Well, there is something to discuss." Liu Chuan said, "You ask him to take a shower and go to room 7301 for a meeting. You also come over and call others along the way."
After a while, all members of the Longyin team arrived.
Just after the meeting was over, the captain called over again for a meeting, but everyone had nothing to complain about, so they stood by and listened to Liu Chuan's explanation.
Liu Chuan said, "I called you here so late because the situation is urgent. Tomorrow's match against Huaxia, we will change the commander, and Qin Ye will be in charge of the team battle. I will go to the ring, and Ah Ce will go to play the team, and the one against Xuelang. Remember? We used an all-melee violent chopper-style lineup."
Everyone: "… "
It was said just now that the lineup could not be decided, and the Sichuan team commanded.
But now it has suddenly changed. Commanding Ye Ye and Xu Ce switching to teamfights are simply exciting to people's hearts.
Xiaoyu scratched his head in confusion: "Didn't you say it will be decided when the time comes? Why did the captain suddenly change his mind?"
"Because our Detective Wu has found some inside information." Liu Chuan said with a smile, "Yeye, Ace, and Silan will go to the team battle, and we will send people to the arena when the time comes. This is the most likely lineup. We will have tomorrow morning. Then go to the Internet cafe to practice cooperation."
Li Xiang glanced at Qin Ye and asked in a low voice, "What did Zewen find out? The curtain?"
Qin Ye said calmly: "The Huaxia team has foreign aid. The Cheng Wei, who has been sitting on the bench playing soy sauce, is really the vice-captain of the Time team at the miraculous side."
Everyone: "… "
Everyone looked sluggish, obviously surprised by this incident.
Liu Chuan said with a smile: "I'm also very surprised. Huaxia took out such a trump card this time. They came well prepared and they were obviously targeting me, so we have to be extra careful. I will go to a meeting in person tomorrow. If you know that genius, the team battle will be handed over to Ye Ye and Si Lan."
Qin Ye said calmly, "Yes, I'll go back and prepare."
Lan Weiran said with his arms crossed: "Since they dare to invite such foreign aid, they will naturally practice lineup coordination in the team. I think their Wudang dual-control lineup will definitely be played in tomorrow's playoffs. We haven't met this kind of lineup before, have we?" He said and looked at Qin Ye next to him.
Qin Ye replied, "There is really no team in the league with Shuangwudang controlling the field output." Qin Ye paused, then said, "I'll go back and talk to Xinran about this, the national color team is trying to slow down and control the field. The lineup is changed, the double Wudang output plus a Wudang auxiliary, this three Wudang lineup is actually more powerful than the Tangmen kite flow of the prosperous Tang team. Although the Tangmen's attack distance is far, there is no way to control the opponent, Qizong Wudang remote control The ability of the field is the strongest among all genres, and if we are kited, it will be very difficult to fight, so I must use the assassin's agile breakthrough ability to join forces with Ace to cut into their back row and interrupt their cooperation."
Xu Ce has always been expressionless. In fact, he was just about to wash his body after washing his head, when Jiang Shaoqing knocked on the door and urged him to come out, feeling a little unhappy.
But hearing this, Xu Ce also nodded and said, "Let's cut to the back row together to get rid of the crispy skin in the back row?"
Qin Ye nodded: "Well, Jihuoliang Haibin or Cheng Wei, if you have the opportunity to kill one first, it will be better to fight, otherwise the two of them will alternately control the field, and our side will be consumed by the whole slowdown control to the group. Destruction, this kind of slow-playing and exhausting lineup is actually very scary, if we can’t grasp the opportunity, we will enter the rhythm of slow death.”
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "That's right, so let's use a violent kitchen knife-style style of play, and rush past them in full melee combat. Once Wudang is approached, it will be very uncomfortable. Ye Ye and A Ce, you are always close. Go and interrupt their skill readings, plus Silan's assist output, if the three of you can rush to the back row together, it's them who should cry."
The mage is the profession that needs a good output environment the most. The mage who is well protected by his teammates and hides in the back row to read the article, and the mage who is interrupted by the enemy at close range, is almost one in the sky and one in the ground.
This is also the reason why Liu Chuan immediately changed the commander and the lineup as soon as he discovered Cheng Wei's identity.
Calling everyone over in the middle of the night to come and change the commander is indeed a bit exciting. However, this is also thanks to Zewen's serious investigation for several days and finally found out the identity of the mysterious ace of the Huaxia team. Otherwise, if Liu Chuan personally In the teamfight, maybe Li Hui really gave him a trick.
In the room on the 8th floor of the hotel, the expression on Liang Haibin's face was a little uneasy: "I always think that the Sichuan team might guess our arrangement."
Xie Guangyi said: "Probably not. When he sees a player he doesn't know, his first reaction will be that Xiaowei is a newcomer we are training. Watching the game of Miracle... Besides, even if he guesses, the two of us plus Xiao Wei, the three of us will not be afraid of the Longyin team when we join forces."
The deputy captain's comfort made Liang Haibin feel better, smiled and said, "That's true."
Xie Guangyi was afraid to pat him on the shoulder: "Don't think about it, go to bed early, and get enough energy to deal with tomorrow's game."
Liang Haibin let out a "um" and turned over to lie down on the bed.
In room 7301, after the emergency meeting of Longyin team ended, only Liu Chuan and Wu Zewen were left in the room.
Liu Chuan took a step forward, hugged Wu Zewen gently, put his chin on his shoulder, and said softly, "Thanks to you, it's been hard to check things these days, right?"
Wu Zewen said: "It's not hard work, as long as I can help you."
Liu Chuan smiled and tightened his arms.
Just because of his own sentence "I'm worried that Cheng Wei will become a variable in the game", Wu Zewen spent an unknown amount of time and energy to find out all the details of Cheng Wei. Zewen's seriousness and concern moved Liu Chuan's heart very much. Holding this person in his arms, he felt that his heart was also filled with a warm emotion... With Zewen by his side, he really felt very at ease.
In tomorrow's game, no matter how difficult it is, he will not worry, because Zewen and other teammates will accompany him to face it.
