The knockout round of ESCL continued, and there were still six Chinese players left on the battlefield at this time.

In the first match of the knockout round, the quarterfinals, Odin, who was the second in Group A, met his lifelong enemy, Guaby, the group leader in Group H.

Odin is the king of the last two ESCL "Warcraft 3" projects, the king of a generation, and the business card of Chinese e-sports, launching an attack for the successful defense of the championship trophy again. And Guaby is the champion of 04, the belief of all orc players in the world, known as the European beastmaster, handsome and skilled, and his girlfriend is beautiful.

As two of the three most popular Warcraft players in the world, the match between Odin and Guaby is even considered by many to be an early final.

In the end, Odin defeated Guaby 2-0 in the much-anticipated knockout round, showing his absolute dominance in the event and his good form in this tournament.

Odin then went from strength to strength, winning 2-0 in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, and reaching the final without dropping a single point in the knockout round.

Among the other two Chinese players, Tracy, who is even more popular than Odin in China, gave players from all over the world a glimpse of the style of Chinese women in the group stage yesterday, winning all of them and winning 2-0 in the quarterfinals, and then in the quarterfinals, she met MYM. Luna, the last of the three popular kings.

In the eyes of many people, Luna may be the best Warcraft 3 player on the planet, but there is no one who is considered by the majority of Night Elf players to be the closest man to God.

As a Korean, even in China, his popularity will definitely not be lost to Odin, or even surpassed.

He became famous earlier than Odin and Guaby, and for a long time before 2006, he was considered invincible. His unique chaotic ore flow, multi-line operation and map control ability are unattainable by other players, and his unbridled imagination has perfected the wind flow to make it the mainstream tactic of the Night Elves, he is synonymous with "Drifting", and his nickname is "The Fifth Race".

His biggest regret is that he didn't win the ESCL title, but he is the player with the highest cumulative prize money in the history of Warcraft War 3.

In such a match, Tracy fought hard in three sets in the end and won a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Moon Demon Luna.

It was a real hard fight, with a total of 2 hours and 15 minutes for the 3 matches! The final tiebreaker set the record for the longest game in ESCL's Warcraft War 3 project, reaching a terrifying 1 hour and 21 minutes! In the final night elf civil war, almost all six heroes on both sides reached the full level, back and forth to contain and pull on multiple lines, and in the final team battle, the two sides exchanged troops with a population of more than 100.

The moment Luna played "GG", Warcraft 3 players across the country and around the world climaxed.

Chinese gamers who stayed up all night frantically posted on various forums to express their excitement, and the posts were extremely unnutritious, just one sentence at a time, "Tracy is amazing!" "Tracy is invincible!" "Tracy is a lifelong fan!" started to swipe the screen.,People who don't know think it's a bot posting a total forum.。

On some college campuses, in the dark night in the east, all kinds of ghosts and wolves howled from the boys' dormitories, breaking the pre-dawn silence, and the school security guards stood downstairs with flashlights and shouted everywhere, "Stop making noise!" But no one paid any attention to him at all.

The 16-year-old, who was making his first appearance in the World Series, had a lot to offer.

And players of other colors around the world are starting to desperately ask on the Internet, who is Tracy? Her track record? Her family life? And does she have a boyfriend?

This game is Tracy's battle for fame in the true sense of the word.

In the history of esports, there have not been female players who have competed with male players, such as Togirl in the previous "Star Wars" project, who did not choose to give up after the Korean Women's League was abolished in 2005, but became the only female player in the Star SPL League. Although it was difficult to win in the league and the results were not remarkable, it was the first time in the world that there was a female esports player, and she was still so beautiful.

And now, finally, another female contestant has appeared, and she is more beautiful and stronger than Togirl. She finished runner-up in China, reached the ESCL World Finals, and defeated Luna the "Fifth Race" in the quarter-finals.

Her ID is Tracy, she's a true top player in the world, and she's still so young that she has a lot of potential.

However, this battle is too tiring, both physical and energy consumption for both sides is terrifying, more than two hours of full concentration and mental tension, high-frequency operations exhausted Tracy's strength, in the next semi-finals, in the same Night Elf civil war, she lost to FK.Mushroom from Norway, who had just eliminated another Chinese player, Cool, and finally ended in the top 4.

By the end of the race, 16-year-old Tracy had almost collapsed in her chair, sweat soaking her sideburns. She was only one step away from meeting Odin in the finals and turning the finals into a Chinese civil war, and she also wanted to achieve revenge for the China finals, but she fell here.

It's helpless, but she's done her best.

I still looked at the audience, although I knew that it was impossible for that person to appear here. Tracy stood up, shook Mushroom's hand, received cheers from players from all over the world, though he couldn't understand what they were shouting, and walked back to the players' lounge in a lonely way.

……

……

In the final on the second day, Odin won one game but was defeated by Mushroom in two consecutive games, and finally lost the game, and also lost the opportunity to create a third consecutive ESCL championship.

Looking at Mushroom waving the Norwegian flag standing in the center of the stage, Odin couldn't help but shed tears, as more rookie players grow, the dominance of the three kings begins to gradually decline, and he may never get so close to the ESCL championship again in his career.

In other events, the wNa team of "Counter Terrorism Heroes" played a five-hour battle against NoB in the quarterfinals, and finally stopped in the round of 16 with a score of 1-2.

"Star Wars"'s Phoenix12 and CN-PG met in the quarterfinals in advance, and Phoenix12 lost 0-2 to CN-PG, ending this year's ESCL journey early. CN-PG went all the way to the finals in the following matches, especially ipSzerg, who defeated the world's No. 1 player in the quarterfinals, South Korea, and the momentum was high. However, in the end, they lost to Stark, who is also from South Korea, and won the runner-up in this event, which is also the best result achieved by a non-Korean player in this event.

In the end, the Chinese team won a total of two silver medals, ranking 9th among all participating countries in this year's competition.

After a good start, sadness became the theme of Chinese players' memories of this year's ESCL, and many years later, they all remember that Odin stopped winning two consecutive championships and Tracy dreamed of Seattle.

I don't know how many young Chinese gamers burst into tears in front of their computer screens that day.
