Chapter 283: Singing Triumphantly
Chapter 283 is a triumphant song
On the 23rd, the tournament did not end until 10 p.m., and the CPL group stage was more than halfway through.
Group B's seeded team, CHN, has made it past the first seven rounds in a row to reach the top 16 of the upper bracket two rounds early.
CHN continued its strong style as always, and if it didn't make a move, it would be enough to put down a large piece as soon as it shot.
Many Western media no longer use "dark horse" to describe CHN, but use words such as "storm" and "earthquake" to describe CHN.
In the first seven rounds, CHN knocked over FH in the United States, 36K in Australia, Nicotin in Japan, GBR in Singapore, ebSite and NO.4 in the United States, and HD in Chile.
None of these teams were able to make five moves at the hands of CHN, and the slightly better one was ebSite in the United States, which lost 5-16 to CHN at Inferno, while the rest of the teams were bloodied, especially Japan's Nicotin.
Nicotin suffered a frenzied revenge from the Chinese in the third round, and the psychological defense collapsed, and in the subsequent match, the Japanese team completely played at a high level and was eliminated from the competition two rounds early.
They also broke the CPL world record, from the start of the game to the return home, a total of only eight hours GameOver, they even moved out of the player village that night, directly to take a midnight flight back to China, hastily drew a very ignominious end to their CPL journey.
And CHN has born another new star in today's group stage, and this person is Han Bing - CHNBING!
In addition to Lu Fei in the first three rounds, Han Bing replaced Lu Fei in the later games, and he also showed a player's solid basic skills, maintaining a good competitive state for four consecutive games, and even being affected by physical strength, assisting CHN's superstars to complete victories again and again.
CHN is now the focus of the world, every detail of every game is the focus of the major media "watching" area, Han Bing's performance is not as eye-catching as the veteran superstar Chu Jian and others, but after the game, senior commentators from major media around the world highly praised him:
"This is called BING, the first time to represent CHN, although there are not many dazzling Farg shots, but we take a closer look, he has a lot of similarities with SK's ahl, always stationed in the most critical position, doing the most tiring work, and his performance is very stable, maybe he will become ahl II."
The comments of major media have naturally attracted the attention of many giants, especially SK and 3D.
The bosses of the two wealthy families have completely different ideas, and SK's BDS scolded the straight thief in his heart as soon as he saw that it was a CHN person: who is not good, and it is a person made by the CHN, and there is no way to dig it with a check;
3D Jenny has even more headaches: two months have passed, I thought I was more sure to deal with CHN, but I didn't expect Meiya to produce talents again, and even Lu Fei didn't have such a great power, Huo Xixian, the old woman, always got the feng shui treasure of talents.
Of course, the most exciting thing is the Chinese audience far away in China, many people watched today's game intently for 12 hours, including a lot of live highlights and interviews, especially joking about the Japanese team, many Chinese only say one word in front of the TV, that is, cool;
Han Bing's appearance made people's eyes light up, originally many Csers were worried about the situation of CHN's lack of success, after all, it is impossible for Chinese CS to rely on Lu Fei and the five of them to dominate all the time, and Han Bing played as a rookie representative, although the performance was not very good, but it made people see the hope for the future, and they felt more down-to-earth.
The current Chinese team is indeed a dynasty, not only with superstars, but also with a very strong foundation underneath.
CHN and Meiya are inseparable, and now Meiya is completely an immovable fortress, all the staffing is absolutely first-class, and the gossip weekly with good things also inquired that the nutritionists and doctors hired by Meiya are all high-achieving students who graduated from Moscow University and Seattle University, such a strong team lineup, it seems that the championship is only a matter of time.
With a World Series just six days to complete, CHN made it to the upper bracket and presented fans around the world with a Christmas gift in advance.
In fact, in the winter of 2003, the probability of the appearance of "dark horses" is too small, mainly because the time between CGs is too short.
Throughout the history of CS, the real dark horse needs to run in at least half a year before it can become a blockbuster, so the favorites for winning the championship in this tournament are mainly concentrated in the four teams of SK, 3D, NoA and CHN.
CHN has always been pushing on the winner's group like an autumn breeze sweeping leaves, SK is also moving forward steadily, but 3D is thrilling, and several times it almost capsized in the gutter.
And the luck of 3D is too back, every time it advances to the top 4, it encounters a nemesis, and in the eight-in-six and six-in-four matches with Mouz and MDK, the map score is 3:2 to advance, and it really makes the American audience pinch a cold sweat.
MDK's veteran captain Ray and Mouz's Lordaeron have always been experts in 3D, and this time is no exception, the two of them caused a lot of trouble for 3D, but in the end, they stopped outside the top four because of the large gap in overall strength.
NoA is the most unlucky, the fool and the monkey have always been worried about meeting Lu Fei, and both of them have a psychological shadow - afraid of Lu Fei.
The reason why the monkey is afraid of Lu Fei is very simple, Lu Fei is his teacher, no matter how fierce you jump, you are also bean sprouts in front of him;
The reason why fools are afraid of Lu Fei is comedy, since 01 years, fools will lose when they meet land, this is already the consensus of all public opinion, from zEx to NoA, fools have actually created a lot of miracles, playing across coL, shocking eoL, Lectra 3D, angry slash SK, it should be said that the fool is also a guy who will be a master all over the world, but in so many games, it is not difficult to see that fools have to hang up when they meet two people, the first is Lu Fei, and the second is Vesslan, He hated the camp tactics of these two people the most, and he was so angry that he was like thunder.
Therefore, in the eight-in-six match in the upper bracket, NoA spared no effort to compete with the British aristocratic 4Kings in order to avoid CHN in the top 4.
The fool has a characteristic, once it breaks out, even the king of heaven Lao Tzu can't stop him, this charging sniper is in the limelight in this game, and the big score is 4K into the losers' group, the moment of victory, the fool's signature kneeling ghost shouts, glad that he will not meet CHN for the time being.
But he was a little happier, and the match with 4K exhausted NoA's vitality, although he would not meet CHN because of the winning score, but NoA bumped into a fierce rival, the Korean Maven.
Fools and sunmen have always smelled the same, and they always look down on the Asian team, because of this old problem, the fool was taught a lesson by Yin Xinxuan this time.
The Koreans were lucky, the first map in the six-in-four game was drawn to Desert II, which was a classic, with both sides taking out their housekeeping skills and bleeding into a mountain of corpses, and finally Maven won Desert II with a thrilling 16:12.
This blow knocked NoA to the ground, and then on Nuke, the huge pressure made NoA play abnormally, and he lost a big advantage helplessly, and watched the South Koreans enter the final four of the upper bracket.
On the night of the 26th, the draw came out, and Lady Luck once again took care of CHN, CHN and Maven faced each other, while on the other side, SK and 3D met again in the semi-finals.
I don't know how many times the feud between these two giants has been staged, and every time SK and 3D meet, the battle is extremely fierce.
The first two maps are Prodige and Aztec, which are heavily unbalanced in attack and defense, with each team scoring one point, and the third map is Nuke, and SK once again embodies the style of king.
With Element's SK, he replaced the gun god Span, and in the first half, 3D was a policeman, and once played a shocking 12:0**, just when everyone thought that 3D was stable in the finals, the unthinkable happened.
From the thirteenth game of the first half, SK's super psychological quality was reflected, and the first half ended after scoring three points, and at the beginning of the second half, SK did not let 3D score too much, and even in the fourth and seventh games, SK actually beat 3D with no injury records, and more than 50,000 American viewers at the American Airlines Center were stunned by SK's kingly spirit.
In the final second half, SK scored 13-0 and successfully entered the upper bracket finals, shocking the world.
There was a special guest who watched the match live, that is, Japanese diva singer Ayumi Hamasaki, who witnessed the reversal of SK's kings and was moved by the atmosphere of the scene.
In a way, this competition even changed the musical path of this singer diva.
Ayumi Hamasaki's songs have always been known for their excitement, cheerfulness, and fashion-leading elements, and many of her songs have become the soundtracks of countless "classic MTV" in CS history, and even more popular than Finland's "Nightish" and the United States' "Lincoln Park", because many CS superstars' personal MTV basically only chooses the music of these three masters, which is one of the reasons why many Chinese fans remember her.
Later, Ayumi Hamasaki also reached a cooperation with SK Club, and specially equipped MTV with his own famous song for "SK King's Road", and then he was also an important singer candidate for Meiya to create a promotional video for superstars, of course, these are all later stories.
While SK shocked the world, CHN once again showed the power of the Chinese god of war.
In the semi-finals against Maven, Lu Fei still didn't play, and still appointed Duan Jiu as the commander, and Zhong became the absolute core on the field to implement the "acupuncture" tactic.
The so-called "acupuncture" tactics, if you use a figurative analogy, are like doctors playing flying needles, all long-distance fights, run with one shot, avoid too much melee contact, drag down the opponent's economy, and finally use the advantage of money and equipment to slowly eat away at the opponent.
This is Vesslan's masterpiece, designed specifically for the CHN lineup.
This game fully illustrates how important tactics are for a team, if in the past, Lu Fei had to play, but now Lu Fei is not needed, CHN still beats the Koreans.
Yin Xinxuan also deeply felt the strength of Meiya, she used to think that Lu Feiqiang was strong, and when she was on CG, she felt that the five CHN people were very strong, but now she feels that she is not fighting against CHN, but against the people on and off the court in the entire Meiya field, it is too hard.
The situation of the two groups of winners and losers has gradually become clear, CHN, SK, and 3D seem to be the final contenders for the championship, and the Canadian TSN live broadcast company, which is famous for gambling on CG, has opened gambling odds and openly organized the "Second Gambling Gun Conference". CHN's odds are only 1.18 to 1, but in North America, the number of people betting on CHN to be the champion exceeds 40 million, which shows people's confidence in the Chinese team, SK with low odds is 1 to 2, and 3D is as high as 1 to 4, and then down, NoA was opened to 1 to 8, it seems that even the bookmaker has no confidence in fools and others.
This really made the top management of the NoA club very depressed. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the Literature Network Game Channel, more chapters, support the author, read!) )
