Hans, Joey, Tim, Hatton, Cervantes, and SK sat in the waiting area, connected their own keyboards and mice to the public computers of the game, debugged the machines, tested the network latency, and familiarized themselves with the venue environment by the way.

It's not the first time SK has competed in competitive competition, as they have overcome numerous opponents in Europe to become the strongest title contenders in the "Special Forces" category, but they have come to China with a little unaccustomed to food and drink, and they have never seen such a lively scene, and the scene with thousands of fans gathered around the stage is crazy.

Putting on headsets, the five could hear each other, and they began to do regular training, playing a 2vs2 confrontation on the small map of the warehouse, with Hans and Tim in a group, Hatton on the side of Cervantes, and the fifth swingman Joey jumping left and right, playing a small team of 2-3 people.

"Joey, I still think it's the wrong choice to give up Quake for Special Forces......" Hatton grumbled as he shot at a wooden door, the piercing bullet wounding Tim hiding behind it.

Joey concentrated, pressed the game shortcut key, and gave instructions to his teammates, he was in the three-person camp at this time, responsible for organizing the attack, and said casually: "Hatton, the biggest flaw in "Thor's Hammer" is the number of players, up to 8 people, 4VS4, but in fact, 4 people are stuck, this is a hard injury. Also, you participate in "Quake", what should you do with the four of us? ”

Hatton didn't even think about it: "If we all participate in individual competitions, we can win the top three places in "Thor's Hammer" and "Command & Conquer!" ”

Joey shook his head repeatedly, and he motioned for Tim to go and die first. However, before he died, he discovered the enemy's location and managed to consume a lot of their ammunition. Joey then rushed in with Hans and beat Hatton and Cervantes into a hornet's nest. Get the win of this round.

Joey smiled: "See, the charm of competitive games is not only superb individual skills, but also exquisite teamwork. Quake places too much emphasis on individual skill, and this is not a game that our team should focus on. ”

Tim smirked: "Hatton, I know you're looking at the CPL big bonus, but don't forget it, the number one market share is Longteng, and their WCG can make you famous quickly!" ”

Hans also lowered his headphones and patted Hatton on the shoulder. Persuaded: "Our cooperation is not tacit enough, in the first year we have to be famous, in the second year we have the opportunity to find a sponsor to name the title, the prize money of the game is not very important, and the sponsorship fee brought by the whole team is the big one." ”

Everyone understands this truth, but Hatton, who fell into the eyes of money, always sighs, thinking that it is an unwise choice not to participate in the CPL of hundreds of thousands of dollars, but to participate in the WCG of tens of thousands of dollars.

Several people continued to train. Keep it in your hand.

"The players from Group D SK are ready to play!" A staff member came over, holding a stack of materials in their hands, checking everyone's number plates and photos one by one, and the five of them packed up their equipment. Follow the staff outside.

32 into 8, there are eight groups of A-H, each group of 4 teams. A round-robin tournament is played, with six matches per group. The one with the highest number of points advances, and the one with the same number of points and the highest probability of winning wins. If the winning rate is the same, the same player will play overtime.

Group D SK's opponents are Vanke Esports Club from Chinese mainland, CyberKing from Malaysia, and a TNT team from the United States.

The competition is on a high platform, which is a separate playing area for Special Forces, separate from several other games, and does not affect each other.

The audience around this area is the largest, and the first-person perspective of the shooter game has a very strong sense of substitution, especially the first-person display of the super master, which is the director's favorite material library.

"In the first round of Group D, Germany's SK played against Malaysia's CyberKing, and the captains of both sides were invited to come up and guess the coin draw."

Joey and a skinny contestant come up to the host and guess the heads and tails of the coin.

In each round, two opponents have to play a best-of-three match, so the choice of map is very important, whoever wins the first game will have less pressure, and the opponent's psychological pressure will be greater, and the master's move will be a little bit worse.

Joey won, so the first round of maps was chosen by him, and he chose the warehouse, which is the map they were doing the warm-up training just now, and they are most familiar with.

Captain CyberKing chose the drug/lord camp area, Joey frowned, this is a map they don't like very much, the map area is too large, there are too many buildings, the field of vision is narrow, it is easy to be found when stepping on the iron passage, it belongs to the kind of team that is not easy to play and cooperate, but it is clear that the opponent is good at this kind of ambush and fighting alone, Joey can only sigh.

There are also 3 maps provided by the organizing committee, Joey and the other party each choose a map to discard, and the remaining one is a drug factory, this map is used as a third backup, this is the most balanced map, so it is very fair to be left at the end.

"The maximum length of each round is 3 minutes, and the team with the most remaining players wins, and if both teams have the same number of players, one point is added each, and the team with 10 points first wins the final victory on this map."

Because it is not "CS", there is no distinction between T and CT, and there is no setting such as increasing or decreasing funds, buying guns and buying body armor, etc., so Yang Yun has made great changes to its rules.

"Special Forces" can be selected from ten people, each with a variety of guns and weapons, and each person's personal attributes are slightly different, such as someone moving 1.1 times the standard speed, someone has a super strong body and cannot get out of the line of fire unless they are fatally wounded, and some people have a shooting talent, and the front sight shakes a little.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides almost chose the same characters, but the colors of the uniforms of the two sides were different, SK was black, CyberKing was gray, randomly born near the warehouse, and after 3 seconds of freezing time, everyone ran around.

Because there is no hostage rescue, there is no hard and fast rule for burying C4 explosives, so the game can only rely on killing people to determine the winner, and the tactics and everything are thoroughly studied by the players before the game, and they know what they should do.

Yang Yun sat in the referee area, and he controlled an interface in his hand, which could be switched to anyone's screen at will, and it felt particularly good to watch their first perspective.

Behind him stood several volunteers, chatting.

"According to the rules of the game, it shouldn't be so intense at the beginning, right? A point is added to the draw, in fact, you can test two or three rounds, feel the strength of the other party, and then find a chance to kill the opponent alone, first stabilize the lead and then talk about it! ”

"That is, as long as whoever gets a point first, then the balance is broken, and it is absolutely impossible for both sides to remain calm and wait for time to run out to maintain balance. But when this balance is broken, I am very particular, I don't believe that SK and CyberKing can't think of the stakes involved, and they rushed out to fight in the first game, which is really reckless......"

After Yang Yun heard this, he felt that this was the smart place of the two teams.

CyberKing thinks that it is not as strong as SK, and many of the team's preliminary game videos are publicly visible, and it is easy to find out SK's record in Germany all the way up, so they plan to surprise and attack their unpreparedness, take advantage of the chaos to kill one of the opponents first, and then find a way to delay and dodge, just survive until the end, and then play the turtle to shrink the defensive flow.

This idea is right, anyway, CyberKing's strength is not as good as SK, if you can steal chickens, you can steal them, and if you can't steal chickens, you are also inferior to others, and there is nothing to complain about, so their choice is to rush at the first level.

SK has a different idea, they choose the warehouse because they are familiar with the warehouse map, they know all about the threat from any angle and any location, so they have to establish an advantage in the first level, as long as the first level wins, they will transfer the pressure to CyberKing, and then they become calm hunters and play a carnage.

In short, there are very few teams that have been guarding a few entrances and exits at their spawn point, and while no one accuses them of playing negatively, this is WCG, and whoever plays negatively will be blamed by others.

If it's not a fierce confrontation, it's not called a competitive game!

Soon, after the two sides tested each other, the high-skilled SK team used the wall-piercing technique to kill one of the CyberKing's team members, and Hatton, who was sent out to attract firepower by himself, escaped, which detonated the balance, and when there was only 1 minute left, CyberKing had to take the initiative to attack, otherwise they would lose the end of this game.

Yang Yun mainly switched between the screens of the SK team members, but when he saw a big fight, CyberKing was all wiped out, and SK only died 2, he shouted in his heart, and then dropped the mouse, not wanting to watch it anymore.

Being a referee and watching live broadcasts by yourself is far less enjoyable than watching Replay and watching video clips!

SK five people, no one knows what will happen in the next second, who will kill the next dead enemy, and the opportunity is so fleeting, maybe 1-2 seconds The battle will be over, and in less than 5 seconds, the enemy team will be completely annihilated, and he is still stupidly attached to an auxiliary perspective, not a single shot was fired, nothing was seen, and the game started again.

What is this not cheating? This is not dota and lol, experienced referees can detect something in the jungle in the bushes, or the ADC action in a hurry to change lanes, and wait in advance from the perspective of God at the location where the battle group will happen, so it is much cooler to see the battlefield.

Yang Yun sighed, come on, the most exciting part of this game may not be able to watch it all, it is better to fix the perspective on this SK Joey, and see what kind of miracle this person can bring to everyone! (To be continued......)
