Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Ladder
Kling grew to like the game, but the computer duel was no longer satisfying him.
He looked at the packaging box of "StarCraft", and there was a card lying in the box, which was the free card of the Wanhu online battle platform.
That's right, with this card, you can play StarCraft for free on the Wanhu online battle platform.
This is also another new initiative of Wanhu Interactive Entertainment.
You know, the cost of broadband is not low at all.
Previously, all games on the Wanhu online battle platform had to spend money to buy a monthly card to be able to play.
Not only that, but the Internet fee in this era is also very touching.
If you just want to play games with others, the price of a monthly card plus Internet fee can easily break 100 dollars a month.
A hundred dollars!
But I can buy several games!
So, except for those who already have an internet at home, or who can't wait for the former stopwatch to dial up the Internet with a phone.
If the rest of the players want to have a duel, they usually go to the computer room to play LAN battles, or go to the more expensive Internet zone to play a duel with online players.
That's right, the reason why the computer room can't be called an Internet café at the moment. It's just that not all computers are connected to the Internet.
If you say that the 10,000 online battle platform spends money on Klin, you may have to hesitate for a while, but now that you have given away a lifetime free battle card, then spend a little phone bill and try to play against others.
In this era, broadband is a very touching little water pipe, except for the network speed.
Another embarrassing thing is that when surfing the Internet, the phone can't get through and it's busy.
It's like a fax machine, when sending and receiving faxes, the phone can't get through.
Klin listened to the "tick-tock" sound and connected to the Wanhu online battle platform. This platform client is built directly into the CD.
This is also a matter of no choice, who makes the network speed so slow in this era, although the size of the battle client, only more than two trillion, but if you download it, it will take a long time to download.
Sign up for an account, log in to your account, and activate your free Battle Card.
Start "Search for opponents!"
"Match your opponents!"
Kling looked at the clock and calculated the internet fee, and after about thirty seconds, he finally found his opponent, and the first duel began!
His hands trembled slightly!
The reason why he chose to play online is because Wanhu gave free battle cards, and secondly, there should not be many people playing this game in the computer room now, and it is in vain to go.
Klin, who still only played games with the mouse, began to gather and build.
However, when he just gathered his troops and wanted to fight out, he found that why the opponent had already reached his face?
And there are twice as many soldiers as he has!
Klin's expression can be said to be dumbfounded, in the previous practice, he has made sure that every one of his operations is as fast as possible, why is someone else faster than him.
"Why are you so fast?"
He typed out questions in the in-game chat box.
"Because...... I'm a man......"
This man's answer was very unreliable.
Why should men be fast?
Shouldn't all men be slow?
Until some of them are over, Kling hasn't found out why, he cut off the network in order to save Internet fees, and he studied StarCraft for a long time before discovering a secret!
It turns out that this game can be operated with a keyboard!
For example, the shortcut key of the base is "H", and the shortcut key of the production of SCV is "S", as long as you press "H" and then "S" on the keyboard, you can produce SCV!
At this time, no matter where your perspective is facing, even if you are engaged with the enemy, you can still produce SCV.
Before, every one of his operations was clicked with the mouse, and although it seemed to be very streamlined, there were actually a lot of useless operations.
Having learned a new skill, Kling threw himself back into connection.
It's not an easy task to memorize the shortcuts for every building, for every class.
Even, it is impossible to memorize this kind of thing like a paper test. The best thing to do is muscle memory.
That's right, it's just constant practice, keep your hand on the keyboard, and you know where to press.
It's best to let the consciousness even intervene before the operation begins.
Kling had been exercising for a long time, and it was getting dark, and it was dawning again.
He finally achieved great success, continued to connect to the Internet, and continued to start fighting!
This time, he wants to reclaim the glory that belongs to the human race!
those abominable bugs!
"Search for opponents!"
"It's been matched!"
"Game on!"
Klin, who has comprehended the new skills and is proficient in using them, is invincible on the battle platform as if he had opened a plug-in.
Just as he was winning the tenth set in a row, a dialog popped up on the battle platform, inviting him to join StarCraft Tier Showdown!
In the introduction, it is said that the biggest difference between the ladder and ordinary matching is that the ladder is ranked.
Although the two are matched with equal opponents, the ladder will add points if it wins, and minus points if it loses. It doesn't take a few rounds to determine what level a player is.
Kling saw and this pattern lit up!
I'm so strong, why don't you go and fight the ladder? Of course you have to fight!
Kling goes straight to the ladder mode and starts searching for people to fight.
Won the first game!
The second sentence wins!
Won the third game!
Win the fourth game!
Won the fifth game!
One thousand six hundred!
Kling completed the positioning of the ladder and directly set it to 1,600 points.
At this time, he could already see how many people were playing the ladder and how many people were on his head.
In terms of ladder playing and his own ranking, he is now in the top 10% of StarCraft players.
However, the ladder's box has been opened.
Anyone who hits the ladder must have a competitive heart.
Therefore, Clint intends to keep winning until he becomes the number one on the ladder in this game!
However, his dream had just begun to set sail when his wings were broken!
He lost in the sixth game, a player with 1,700 points, it was like pressing him to the ground and rubbing him.
The combination of his spearman and medical soldier, before he could get close to the other party, he was bombed by the other party's tank, and his mother didn't know him!
Lessons learned and continue playing!
Kling found a problem, that is, his combination of spearmen and medics could not defeat tanks. And this is a problem with their own class combinations.
Tanks have a lot of ground damage, but they don't have the ability to fight in the air.
Is it entirely possible to build an airfield and produce some air units to deal with tanks on the ground?
But......
The cost of air units is so high, if they are protected by someone else's tank machine gunner, and the machine gunners can be on the ground and on the ground, then what should be done?
