The round of 16 is played over three days, with each team having only one game per day, and all matches in the four groups have no overlapping time.

"Everyone, prepare well, the first battle against the Protoss."

The matchup table has been announced, and Brother Hao began to hold a meeting for the Protoss to study the style of play. Encountering the Protoss in the first game will make the team feel strange.

The Protoss team has been singing all the way in this TOP League, and so far they have zero defeats, and the captain Xuezun even has zero deaths, and the exaggerated record has made the Protoss be praised by fans in the group stage, maybe in the eyes of fans, they are gods.

On the day of the start of the group stage, the match between the stars and the Protoss is scheduled to start at 11 p.m., and the two rounds usually don't last long, and will end in two hours at most.

E-sports Hall A of the Tokai City Gymnasium is being closed for renovation to prepare for the finals, and all the next matches will be held in Hall B except for the finals.

At the game site, Luo Li also saw two other teams, and the players from the 16 teams before the start of the game came to the arena to win their individual games regardless of whether they had a game or not.

"Sister Peach, hello!"

Hearing a male voice shouting Peaches, Luo Li subconsciously turned his head to find the source of the sound.

"Aren't you the boy who asked for an autograph on the night of the opening ceremony?"

Luo Li saw the boy who was looking for Peaches to sign at the opening ceremony that night, he was not very old, probably not yet an adult, and his face was still immature without the world. He was wearing a team uniform with VT benchmarks printed on it, and he appeared to be a player from Team VT.

The little boy replied politely, "My name is Lin Lan, and I am a rifleman of the VT team. ”

Behind Lin Lan stood the other members of the VT team, all of whom looked a little older than Lin Lan, and one of the dignified men took the initiative to shake Luo Li's hand: "Hello, I'm Xu Zifeng, the captain of the VT team." “

"Hello, I'm Luo Li."

"I'm the captain, okay?"

Momoko gave Luo Li a roll of the eyes angrily on the side and walked over with the team.

The VT team is said to be a college team, all the team members are students of a university, when preparing for the game, Liu Hao and the team members talked in detail about the team configuration of the other three teams, which especially mentioned Lin Lan's name. Lin Lan was sent to sixth place in the kill list of the top 32 last week, and he is a guy who needs attention, and when he saw his lineup today, Luo Li remembered that he was the kid who came to sign autographs that day.

The match against the VT team is in the final game, and now we need to focus on the showdown with the Protoss team.

"Hello everyone, I'm the narrator Big Meow."

"I'm the commentator Nan Jiang, and the next thing I want to explain to you is the first game of Group B of the group stage, against which the two sides are the red team of the gods and the blue side of the stars."

The starting lineup sent by Xingchen is the duo of Luo Li and Peaches, sniper Xiao Yu, rifleman Ah Cheng, and demoman Xie Xiaotian.

The reason for getting Xiao Tian to start is to interfere with Xuezun, and a week's round of 32 is enough to prove that Xuezun's positioning and marksmanship stand out even among professional players.

In the first game, the blast mode is a best-of-five format, and the offense and defense will be exchanged halfway through the game.

The battle map was chosen as the Armament Depot, and the prototype of this map was the Frostfire City Arsenal that Luo Li blew up with Xuezun during the boss battle.

The map is divided into two parts, above ground and underground, with three entrances to the underground, namely the underground escalator of the warehouse and two small doors that connect to the trenches on the ground.

The Xingchen team served as the attacker, and C4 was on Xie Xiaotian. The C4 of the detonation target point in this mode can only use the special C4 provided by the system, and no other explosives can destroy the target point.

The main combat area of this map is in the underground tunnel, which has both advantages and disadvantages for Xie Xiaotian, but it is an unavoidable fact that greatly limits the use of grenades.

However, it is not easy to dodge the dense grenades in the tunnel, which can bring a greater threat to Xuezun.

The camp sent by the Protoss, in addition to the fixed captain and vice-team, also includes foxes, pigeons, and Xiao Xue.

This game has attracted a lot of attention, and the competition between Xiao Yu and Xiao Xue, a brother and sister, is also one of the highlights of this competition.

Luo Li is at the front of the team, and the time limit for a single round in Demolition mode is 10 minutes, which is three times the time of a traditional FPS game, but this time is not enough at all, because there are so many factors for players to consider, and players need to do much more in these ten minutes than just running a map.

Generally speaking, in the blast mode, the team that opens the black always likes to wait, find a good point first, wait a minute or two before attacking, hoping to kill one or two fools who charge brainlessly in advance, and even in the TOP League, there are many games in which neither of the two sides moves at the beginning, and they are waiting for the other party to show their flaws.

When it was Xingchen's turn to attack, he simply rushed into the underground passage without the slightest hesitation. Playing against the Protoss, do you still expect them to make that kind of low-level mistake, unless they feel that they don't need to fight seriously against the stars, otherwise, how can they be given the opportunity to seize the chance.

If you can't catch it, just charge as soon as possible, although the possibility that the opponent has not occupied the favorable terrain by the time the stars reach the range of the battle is almost zero, but it is better than sitting still.

"Slow down in front, Xiaotian uses a grenade to open the way."

There are two blasting points on this map, point A at the armed depot on the east side of the map, and point B at the ammo pile on the west side.

In the first round, Luo Li tentatively let everyone attack point A, and Xie Xiaotian's howitzer exploded around the corner of the passage, and at the same time warned everyone on the other side. After the howitzer opened the way, Luo Li threw out a flashbang, and after hearing the sound of the flashbang exploding, Luo Li was about to rush into the armed warehouse, and there was a sound of gunfire inside the iron door of the warehouse.

Expose your presence in advance, no, this is a flashbang from the enemy guarding the gate, and a blind shot at the gate while blind.

Luo Li glanced at the direction of the bullets, roughly judged the enemy's position, and rushed in without waiting for the gunfire to stop.

【Protoss Tian Shiyan kills Xingchen Tian Luoli】

Luo Li was ready to be cannon fodder, went in with bullets, and luckily dodged two bullets, and then was shot and became a dead soul under the gun of Shi Yan, the deputy team of the Protoss, but the shot he prepared also beat Shi Yan into residual blood, and the grenade that Xie Xiaotian followed later also collected the residual blood of Shi Yan.

Shi Yan was killed, Ah Cheng took the lead and slid into the warehouse, first glanced at the corner of the wall, and immediately aimed the muzzle of the gun at the back of the iron door, there was a human fox hidden behind the iron door, when Ah Cheng found out, the fox was going to change places, but just when Ah Cheng hit his muzzle, the two of them immediately dodged each other's muzzles while shooting.
