Chapter 9: The Central Arena
Center Arena.
After coming here, Yang Chao was a little shocked, he didn't expect that in this ordinary dormitory building, there would be such a professional e-sports competition venue.
As mentioned earlier, the entire dormitory building is a hexagonal column, and the rooms where students live are distributed around the hexagonal shape, and the center is a large space, which is the "central arena".
In the center of the field, there is a round platform, on which two rows of seats are neatly arranged, each with five display screens, standing opposite to each other, forming a confrontational situation.
If that's all there is, you can't call it a "professional" yet.
In addition to the two rows of monitors, there are two transparent "glass covers" that divide the round platform into two, each covering a row of seats, forming an enclosed space, and this "glass cover" is obviously used for sound insulation, which Yang Chao has also seen on the DOTA game field on the earth.
Not only that, but on the north side of the central arena, there is also a rectangular stage with a commentary platform on it, and on the wall, there is a huge screen that can be used to confirm that when the game starts, this large screen must be the picture of the game under the field.
The main stage, soundproof cover, commentary seats, and big screens, everything looks so formal and professional!
"Hehe, are you scared? However, it is too late to regret it now. ”
Fu Guangbo's appearance still looked a little tender, but when he said this, he was full of momentum and very majestic.
After saying this, without waiting for Yang Chao to answer, Fu Guangbo took the lead in the soundproof cover with confident steps, and seemed to be calmly choosing the middle seat and sat down.
"Uh~"
Yang Chao came back to his senses, and it seemed that the expression he showed just now made Fu Guangbo mistakenly think that he was scared, but how could it be?
And Wang Kai is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and under his vigorous publicity, the number of people who came to watch this game was several times more than before, and the scene was very chaotic and noisy.
"Wow, Fu Guangbo is so domineering."
"Hmph, it's just pretending, but he's very confident."
"That's a must, anyway, he's also the number one master in our class."
Yang Chao shook his head and turned his gaze to Fu Guangbo. Suddenly, he noticed that his hands seemed to be shaking all the time, was he nervous?
Oh yes, it really is.
Heads-up match, or SOLO match, can be said to be the most cruel way of playing, because it is one-on-one, in the absence of teammates, the responsibility for winning or losing is all on yourself, and if you lose, you can't play it yourself, and there is no reason to shirk it.
Moreover, this kind of heads-up game often occurs when the two sides have contradictions, or in the case of mutual dissatisfaction, once you lose, you have to admit that the opponent's strength is stronger than you, your level is worse than the opponent, and you must admit to the opponent.
As you can imagine, this hurts a person's self-esteem, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is disgraced.
Not only that, but now, Fu Guangbo chose to play a heads-up match in the center arena, and under the hustle and bustle of Wang Kai, so many spectators have gathered, which also adds huge pressure to the players on both sides.
If there is no one else present, then, although it is still very uncomfortable to lose heads-up, but it is not unacceptable, at most you will avoid the other party in the future, but if it is in full view, you will really never see people again, of course, except for people with super thick skin and strong psychological quality.
"Huh~ It's really hard enough."
Yang Chao shook his head, he didn't know if this Fu Guangbo was confident or conceited? Is it necessary to push yourself into such a situation?
Although he can't figure it out, judging from the current situation, Yang Chao has no reason to let himself lose this competition, and he will definitely show his strongest strength.
"Hey, hey, try the wheat, try the wheat."
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Wang Kai, and I'll be the temporary commentator to explain this epic battle and peak showdown for everyone."
"Hey! Wang Kai, don't brag, okay? It's also a great war. ”
"Haha, that's it, Wang Kai, you're not a professional commentator, can you do it, no, I'll come."
"Hehe, fellow students, although I, Wang Kai, am not a commentary major, but I dare to say, everyone! My level of commentary is definitely no worse than that of those majors. ”
"Cut, okay, don't brag."
"If you blow it again, we're going to drag you down, classmates, you say, right?"
"That's right."
"Yes."
For a while, the scene was noisy again, but fortunately, Yang Chao and Fu Guangbo had already entered the soundproof cover at this time, and they were not affected by the outside for the time being, and they had also entered the game room, and the game was about to start.
"Alright, alright, students, both players have entered the game room, and the game is about to start."
"Due to the tight schedule, I will briefly introduce to you the players on both sides of the competition."
"The red side, that is, the player sitting on the left, wearing a white shirt, is one of our protagonists today, Fu Guangbo."
"Fu Guangbo, male, 18 years old, a freshman majoring in e-sports at Chuzhou College, a few days ago, he won the first place in our class competition."
"He's masterful, conscious, and good at using multiple positions and multiple heroes, and he's currently recognized as the number one player in our class."
"And the blue side, that is, the handsome guy sitting on the right, he is the other player in our game, Yang Chao."
"Yang Chao, male, 18 years old, Chuzhou College, freshman majoring in e-sports, there is no record of official competitions at present, but, just now, he had a heads-up with another powerful player in our class, Yang Chao won a complete victory, and he also showed us his best hero, Shadow Demon."
"His operation is steady and magnificent, and although we are not sure how strong he is yet, it is certain that he is not the rookie we thought he was."
"Next, let me lead you into the game."
Not to mention, Wang Kai's explanation really seems to be like that, which also makes the students below quiet down and turn to look at the big screen on the wall.
"The competition has officially begun! The player on the Radiant side is Fu Guangbo, and the player on the Disaster side is Yang Chao, and the players on both sides have entered the 30-second hero selection time. ”
"Let's see, Fu Guangbo didn't hesitate at all, and directly chose the 'Demon Wizard', which is the hero he is good at, and he once shined in the last competition and won the achievement of a super god."
I saw that on the big screen, the 'Demon Wizard' controlled by Fu Guangbo acted very quickly, purchased the equipment very skillfully, and then walked out of the hot spring and came to the card soldier point, this set of operations was done in one go and was very smooth.
"Wow~ Fu Guangbo's operation is so fast, we can know that he must have memorized all the shortcuts of those equipment, which made him quickly buy the equipment he needed within a few seconds."
"Hey~ Let's see, there is a set of 'false eyes' in Fu Guangbo's equipment."
Scout Ward: Commonly known as the "False Eye", a Scout ward is placed to observe a large area, and the Scout Ward does not have true sight. Destroying a Recon Ward grants 50 gold.
"Hehe, students, here, I can tell you a small trick, which is also a technique that mid-laner players often use in competitions, that is, 'uphill vision'."
"We all know that when your hero is standing on a low position, such as in the middle of a river, your vision will become small, and it will be easy for opponents standing on a high slope to take advantage of it, resulting in a disadvantageous situation where you can be beaten passively but cannot fight back, but if you insert a 'false eye' on the opposite high slope, this problem can be easily solved."
"Okay, let's take a look at Yang Chao from the natural disaster side, alas~ He seems to be a little hesitant, he hasn't chosen a hero yet, but most of the time to choose a hero has passed, and it's about to end, isn't he still choosing? Will he still choose the Shadow Fiend he is good at? ”
"Oh oh, Yang Chao chosen, let's see, what kind of hero he chose. I'll go! ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yang Chao's choice was really unexpected, he actually chose the 'Templar Assassin', this hero is quite unpopular, I haven't seen it appear in major tournaments. However, since Yang Chao dares to choose this hero, then, he should have his ideas, let's wait and see in the next game. ”
If Yang Chao heard Wang Kai actually say that the "Templar Assassin" was an unpopular hero, it is estimated that he would not hesitate to spray him.
In DOTA, the hero "Templar Assassin", although relatively rare in the low-end passerby game, has never lacked opportunities to play in high-end passerby games and official matches, and has had strong performances in multiple versions.
So why is he so rare in the low-to-mid passerby bureaus?
That's not to say that the Templar Assassin isn't strong enough, it's because he's too difficult to operate!
The Templar Assassin, as the name suggests, is an assassin hero positioned as Gank, his ultimate "Psionic Trap" can control the vision well and has a slow effect, while the "Refraction" skill can effectively ensure his survival, "Concealment" can make him invisible and increase explosive power, and "Psionic Blade" is a special, passive AOE skill that can deal damage to enemies in a line.
It can be said that each of his skills is very powerful, however, they are difficult to operate, or in other words, it is difficult for someone to be able to play them perfectly, which requires good awareness and superb operation ability.
Yang Chao used to be very envious of those players who could use the "Templar Assassin", in his opinion, as long as they could play this hero smoothly, they could be called masters.
Fortunately, Yang Chao knew that the "Templar Assassin" was also one of the heroes that Pis God was best at, although he didn't know why, in the introduction of "God Possession System", this hero was not set as his hero in strength.
The game has just begun, and the card operations of both sides are very smooth, but if you look closely, it is better than Fu Guangbo.
Yang Chao's operation looks a little rusty, but it is actually the same, after all, this is the first time he has played the hero "Templar Assassin" in Blue Star, and he is not familiar enough, but fortunately, with the help of the Pis God, his operation has indeed become very sharp, and he can always remedy it, so as not to let him suffer in the most basic "stuck soldier" operation.
"We can see that the operation of the soldiers on both sides is very good, and the line is exactly in the middle of the river, of course, this is just a basic operation, the difficulty is not high, with the strength of these two players, it is something that can be easily done."
"Both sides have begun to replenish their troops! This is the first wave of minions, which can be said to be very important, let's see, what is their mending skills? Is Fu Guangbo better, or is Yang Chao sharper? ”
PS: "Ancient Guard", in heads-up mode, both sides have 30 seconds to choose a hero, during this period, the selected hero will not be known by the other party, and both sides can also choose the same hero, so there is basically no situation where the hero chosen first is deliberately targeted.
