Qing Gai is still the new god of war in Tian'e District, but his path to becoming a god is different from anyone else.
He is not a traditional e-sports player, the kind who builds up layer by layer. He directly challenges the famous masters as soon as he comes up. Starting from the well-known assassins, rangers, and fighters on the Tian'e District ranking list, they quickly gained some fame and challenged such occupations on the second-star province ranking list.
Generally speaking, mages are very weak against assassins, but for some reason, they are still particularly good at dealing with assassins. They basically hit one target and have rarely failed. On the contrary, when facing the mage in the same way, it seems that it is not going well.
After he narrowly defeated Jon En, the top assassin in the country for the last time, fans in Tian'e District pushed him to the position of God of War, jokingly calling him "The Thief's Nemesis". All the way to the provincial competition very smoothly.
The audience may not understand why he, as a mage, can in turn restrain the melee agility profession; Tyron knows why:
There is a Xipi named Fando.
Maybe it was because the young couple played games together every day, or maybe Fando used him as a sparring partner. In short, with a well-ranked assassin like Fando who has been partnering with him all the time, he will certainly have a lot of experience in how to deal with assassins.
After watching the two match videos, the master assassin not only saw his style of play, but also accidentally saw Fando's fighting style.
It's not surprising that Vandor is good at hitting explosive combos, which is the advantage of all assassins; Vandor is also good at wandering around the perimeter, and then unexpectedly comes up to face; in addition, he may often do around the opponent A set of combos in multiple directions.
The last feature is quite similar to the shadow dance step. Tai Lun opened Fando's official website and took a look—as expected, there is a shadow dance step in the technique.
interesting.
The venue for the semi-finals of the provincial competition the next day was already on the large platform in the center of the six islands.
There are only a few thousand real auditoriums here, and those who can sit here are either rich or expensive. The rest are all auditoriums in the virtual environment, and the projection in reality is a full twelve rows of circular translucent seats, rotating extremely slowly around the center of the venue.
Most of the space is for the live broadcast equipment, from the big 360-degree camera on the field, to the twelve aircraft flying in the sky, and the satellite-style data capture analyzer, all of which can be well played on the suspended platform , to provide flawless image, sound and even smell data to all viewers.
At the opening ceremony of the semi-finals a few days ago, countless celebrities and celebrities had already shown their faces, and the 24 contestants who entered the semi-finals were also zoomed in and projected in 3D in the center of the venue, and were introduced in length.
Now that the official competition can finally start, the first round has actually been halfway through, and it is finally time for this match: Odin VS All Over.
There were no empty seats on the stage of the virtual audience, and the voices from the crowd gathered like a sea of trees, and they all stared nervously at the stage.
When the two contestants took the stage respectively, there was a burst of loud shouts, and the live equipment was even forced to turn down the volume to prevent the loud noise from damaging the hearing of the real audience.
Following the host's introduction, the two contestants shook hands.
Ding Gai spoke very friendly as before, Tyron glanced at his expression and found that Fando did not tell him what happened before.
Therefore, Qing Gai had no impression of Odin as before. After learning that he was matched with an assassin player, he was slightly relieved and felt a little lucky.
Qinggai Rudu looks a little older than Fan Duo, with a gentle and refined temperament, and may have a bit of aloofness of a high-level intellectual in his bones-in Tai Lun's view, this is called a mage's disease.
He is an evocation mage who specializes in frost spells (this genre is also referred to as "ice mage"), a relatively typical mage class, but it is definitely not easy to play a typical class to the provincial competition.
The female commentator introduced Qinggai Ruru and said: "He is a very rare mage who is good at fighting with assassins. The most extreme thing is that he often interrupts the assassin's combo, while ensuring his own blood volume, he slowly grinds a little blood, and then walks away... The battle rhythm is very steady, but it seems that he is in a hurry to die."
The male commentator also commented: "Yes, generally speaking, in the battle between two crispy professions, the blood volume will be wiped out like an avalanche if you are not careful, but the game that is overturned is as stable as two tanks It's the same as beating. He can even slow down the rhythm of top assassins, but let an opponent who can end the game with a set of combos drag until the end and fail to hit."
The female commentator smiled and said: "Our Odin player is also such a top assassin who likes to take away the opponent with a set of combos. What he is best at is a set of bursts to bully the opponent, and then steal the bell with lightning speed! Papapapapapa ! The opposite side is gone!"
Male commentator: "This one depends on whether Odin can play the rhythm. If he is overturned and the rhythm is still delayed, it will be very difficult to fight."
The random result came out soon, this time the map was "Baimen Ancient City".
This ancient city is not Chinese-style, but a western-style fortress-style ancient city. The streets and squares are relatively open, and there are many residential buildings around it. The most peculiar thing is that there are NPCs on this map, all of which are neutral humans who walk around or sell things.
NPCs will react to two sparring players; when players are fighting in this map, sometimes they are awkwardly blocked by NPCs; sometimes NPCs gather in the square, and some people can't find their opponents , there will be a very tragic tragedy-massacre of the city! !
However, the massacre of cities has never happened in official competitions, and it usually only occurs in anonymous matches, because in any case, the behavior of players massacring cities and killing non-combat NPCs in the game at will is very annoying Criticism has a particularly large impact on reputation, and it will even be criticized by the population as a typical case, and it will be erected on the pillar of shame in the e-sports circle.
When the countdown began, the two contestants each stood in a corner of the square.
There are many NPCs passing through one after another in the middle, for some reason, this makes Qing Gai a little uneasy as before.
The countdown ended soon, and Tung Gai immediately opened his mage shield as before, and then quickly left the initial position. Originally, he wanted to hide himself in the crowd to avoid being exposed as a target, but he didn't expect that the surrounding NPCs ran away in fear!
NPCs: "Ah, Master Mage, please forgive me! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you!"
Covered as before: "..."
The crowd stepped aside, exposing him instead, looking for a new location with a dark face as before, and finally hid in an alleyway.
Taking his time, he set a small trap at both ends. The narrow alleyway is good for him to quickly find the invisible assassin.
However, unlike what Ding Gai Ru Ru had expected, Tyron did not become invisible at the beginning, but took off his hood and walked into the crowd wearing a mask.
Countless question marks appeared on the head of the female commentator: "Why?? Why is Odin blending into the crowd without hindrance???"
The male commentator tried to explain: "Maybe it's because of... Occupation? Clothes? Aura?"
The female commentator stared at Tai Lun's figure, and said: "But the aura of Fourth Master is as cool as fireflies in the dark night! Are these NPCs blind so they can't see it!!!"
They couldn't explain this strange phenomenon, but Odin did disappear into the crowd like a drop of water melting into the sea. Even a guide camera took two seconds to find his location.
Moreover, when Odin walked through the crowd, he obviously didn't move his hands much, but he didn't worry about someone blocking his way at all. He walked as easily as a fish, and the people in front would naturally make way for him .
Then, Odin even grabbed a tomato from the stall!
The stall owner didn't notice.
The two commentators were confused.
The male commentator guessed: "Yeah, maybe it's some props you want to use?"
The audience said: "Hahahahaha I'm so cute! My cool and domineering God of War IV actually likes tomatoes? Tomatoes? Tomatoes!!!!"
"There must be some backhand. I really haven't seen tomatoes being stolen during a game."
Tai Lun was walking among the crowd, and the murmurs of hundreds of people in the square flowed into his ears like a trickle. He heard someone discussing vaguely "the mage over there...".
—I’m afraid that he never thought about being afraid of NPCs revealing his position.
The corners of the mouth under the mask were slightly raised, and Tyron walked through the crowd, locking on to the alleyway where the mage was.
He didn't need to look to know that there must be certain traps arranged on both sides of the alleyway, so he easily walked around to the other side of the wall, gently stroking the wall with one hand, and walked quickly while walking.
He stopped at a certain position, his eyes narrowed slightly - he felt the presence of the enemy.
At this moment, Tai Lun and Qing Gai were still separated by a fragile stone wall, less than two meters away from each other.
Both commentators began to prepare for the imminent battle.
The Master Assassin did not make them wait. In the next second, he suddenly turned over and stood on top of the wall—
At this moment, when Qing Gai heard the rustling wind above his head as usual, his tense fighting mentality immediately reacted, stretched out his hand, and instantly activated the mage's shield!
The white frost instantly forms a hemisphere to protect him. This skill will freeze the enemy who comes to sneak attack for 0.5 seconds. If it happens to defend against the enemy's attack, it can also form a counterattack!
However, at the next moment, only a "poof" was heard!
The activated mage's shield turned out blood-red, blocking his view as before.
"...???!"
At that moment, Qing Gai was still a little dazed.
Tai Lun is still standing on the wall at this moment, he just threw a tomato just now, his face was covered with a "poof", and then Shi Shiran jumped down from the top, bypassing the mage guard who was painted red. shield-
flash!
