Chapter 249: Airdrop and Airdrop
In the forty-in-twenty competition, the most attractive thing is, of course, the duel between Jinsir, the king of the Korean gods, and Lin Potian. 【Reading.com】
Korean players have always been very proud in their hearts, and the glory of countless Korean players in the WCG is indeed worthy of their pride.
As a contestant from a country that uses interstellar as a national sport, if he loses to a player from another country, it may be difficult to be forgiven by the Korean audience.
So when Jinsir appeared, he already felt the pressure on his face. The applause at the scene made Jinsir feel the huge expectations of these audiences.
For Jinsir, this 40-20 game has a deeper meaning. Because this is still a battle of revenge for Jinsir.
Jinsir understands that he has finally ushered in the first real opponent in the WCG.
In Jinsir's eyes, the real threat to South Korean players is at most three Chinese players such as Wang Feiyu. And the rest of the foreign players are just like the ones in the blockbuster.
So the real opponents should only be Wang Feiyu, Lin Potian and Gou Xiaoyun.
South Korea's interstellar players are usually so proud and conceited.
As the soldier of the most powerful Zerg king in South Korea, Hon Yung, of course, also thinks the same.
Therefore, although Knife has been called the hope star of Europe two years ago, in the eyes of HonYung, it is not much different from the rest of the players.
***
In fact, before 2001, the interstellar level of Europe and South Korea was almost neck-and-neck. The representative interstellar players in Europe include Elky, the French sunglasses man, NTT, the expansion maniac, and Grrrr, the protoss king. South Korea's professional league, on the other hand, is still in its infancy.
But after 01 years, Interstellar seems to have become the world of Koreans.
For a long time after '01, the Koreans won almost all of the international competitions of the stars. Although there are more and more people playing interstellar in Europe, no one has ever been able to reach the heights of Grrrr and Elky.
How much is the gap between the interstellar level of South Korea and the interstellar level of these countries in Europe? This may be difficult to express in metrics, but a few classic battles can answer this question well.
Among the matches between Korean and European interstellars, the most memorable matches were the classic confrontations between Boxer and Grrrr, Elky, and NTT.
Grrr was recognized as the best Protoss Heavenly King in the world before 2000, Grrr not only brought the concept of micromanipulation to the interstellar world, but also captured countless world championship titles. The vast majority of these championships were won in competitions held in South Korea.
But in the invitational tournament to commemorate the official retirement of the 107th version of Interstellar, Grrrr faced the rising Boxer, but it seemed that there was no room for resistance at all.
The gold-armored harassment that Grrrr has relied on to make a name for himself can't even take advantage of Boxer's watertight defense. And Grrrr's excellent operation, in front of Boxer's operation, seems to have become so rough.
Therefore, this game not only represents the curtain call of the 107th version of Interstellar, but also the curtain call of a generation of heavenly kings.
If the confrontation between Grrrrr, which has been slowly declining, and Boxer, which is in full swing, does not well illustrate how big a gap there is between the interstellar level of South Korea and the interstellar level of Europe after the rise of South Korea's interstellar players. The confrontation between Boxer, NTT and Elky, then, illustrates this problem even better.
NTT has always been regarded as one of the craziest and most talented players in Europe, because no one could have imagined that when NTT was in full swing, his average hand speed was less than 180.
This was very incredible in front of the professional players at that time, especially the Terran players. However, NTT used this incredible hand speed to defeat many masters with a hand speed of more than 250 and became one of the representatives of European interstellar.
NTT is famous for its expansion, and some people once used a madman to describe NTT's expansion, and some people said that if you play against NTT and fight in the middle of the game, where there are resources, there will be NTT's base.
NTT's ability to expand, as well as its SCV with a population of nearly 100, is indeed unimaginable and imitable.
However, Boxer defeated NTT with the expansion that NTT is best at. In the battle between Boxer and NTT, every time NTT opened a mine, Boxer immediately opened a mine. And with almost the same resources, NTT, one of the representatives of the European interstellar, simply has no way to compete with Boxer.
In the WCG2001 Seoul finals, which represented the crowning of Boxer, Boxer defeated Elky, who was also in full swing at the time, with a textbook carpet airdrop, which not only illustrated the gap between Boxer and the top European players, but also made people see the birth of a new king.
After 02, more and more Korean interstellar players slowly began to surpass Boxer, but in Europe, there was never a interstellar player who could compete with Korean players at the top of the WCG. Therefore, the gap between Korean players and European players is even bigger than in Boxer's era.
In HonYung's eyes, the strength of a top European player should only be about the same as that of a first-class professional player in South Korea.
And most of the Korean viewers at the scene basically had this idea, so most of them focused their attention on the duel between Lin Potian and Jinsir.
Because in their eyes, the duel between Lin Potian and Jinsir is the real master-level confrontation in the top 40 to the top 20.
***
The map of the game did not give HonYung much alarm. Except for the time when the mermaid's song sounds, the rest of the time in the blue Aegean Sea can be used as an island battle map.
Although the Terrans think they have a lot of advantages on the island battle map, the Zerg do not necessarily suffer on the island battle map.
HonYung is a very comprehensive Zerg master, and on the island battle map, it is not difficult for HonYung to fight against the Terrans.
On the Island War map, the most suitable way to start is of course the Wyvern Harassment.
In the island war map, the most terrifying point of the Terrans is the unexpected airdrop harassment. If the strength of a transport plane is used properly, it can cause a lot of trouble to the Zerg players. And now the Terran players can already control the multi-line airdrop very well. This is a problem that Zerg players must face on the map of the island war. And choosing the start of the Wyvern can be a good way to curb the Terran airdrop.
Wyverns are both offensive and defensive weapons. You can also observe the movements of the Terran players very well, and the suicide bat is an indispensable weapon in the island war.
Therefore, although HonYung does not have a different hobby for Wyverns like Flyzerg, Wyverns are also HonYung's first choice on such maps.
When HonYung put down the Wyvern Tower, he had already started to upgrade the Lord's airlift capabilities. When using flying dragons to harass and contain the development of the human race, the unstoppable expansion is also the embodiment of the comprehensive ability of a Zerg master.
***
The psychological quality of every top player must be outstanding, and only by staying calm in the face of any sudden blow can he become a real master.
So when Knife's transport plane appeared in HonYung's sight, HonYung didn't panic in the slightest.
When Knife's transport plane appeared in HonYung's line of sight, HonYung's Wyvern Tower was just a few seconds away from forming. So HonYung hatched five of the six eggs reserved in the base into zergling at once.
Although the speed at which the Knife's transport plane appeared was a little surprising to HonYung, HonYung was not without a little preparation.
Terrans' rapid airdrops have always been very threatening, and the Zerg, which is a little slower in technology climbing, and has not created a certain zergling, is very likely to be killed by the Terrans in this way.
Even Storm Zerg Yellow was defeated by Boxer in the WCG finals in this way.
In fact, as long as you notice this kind of airdrop, it is not very difficult to defuse. Because as long as there are a certain number of Zerglings or the existence of a bunker, it can be a good drag on the Terran airdrop. As long as you can drag the Terran troops and wait for the Zerg's Wyvern and other troops to appear, it will not be very difficult to cooperate with Zergling or Drone to strangle this small army.
And Julyzerg, the original master of the Zerg in South Korea, known as the God of Fighting, has already performed the classic operation of using three flying dragons and Drone to surround and kill seven marines and one medic airdropped behind the mine.
And the current Zerg players, after the baptism of the more brutal professional league, have made longer progress than the operation of previous generations of Zerg players.
And the operation of HonYung, who is the king of the Zerg, is certainly not inferior to his predecessors.
What's more, although HonYung doesn't think that the Knife is too dangerous to him, HonYung doesn't take it lightly.
HonYung, like many arrogant Zerg, doesn't start with a thorn as a defensive force. Because they firmly believe that through their own operations, they can use troops like Zergling to defuse the initial airdrop of the Terrans.
The bunker is immovable, while the dog is alive. The arrogant HonYung chose Zergling.
At the time of the appearance of the Knife's transport plane, there were already eight dogs in the HonYung base that had been created for defense. And HonYung was very confident and used these eight dogs to drag his own five eggs to hatch. Even if your first eight dogs lose some of your own ten dogs when they hatch. HonYung was also confident that he would strangle Knife's airborne troops with dogs that were nearly twice as numerous as the opposing troops.
The Terran's quick airdrop tactics are also a very extreme and direct tactic, and any extreme tactic, like 6D, is also a double-edged sword.
If you can't stab an enemy, you'll easily hurt yourself. HonYung is well aware that the dead end of this kind of rapid airdrop is there. Because although this kind of rapid airdrop came very quickly, in order to complete this tactic, the entire development of the Terran at the beginning had to serve this airdrop. At the beginning of the Terran, it must start with a single barracks and a single GAS, build a heavy industry and an airfield as quickly as possible, and upgrade the stimulants when the transport plane flies to the Zerg base with the troops.
In this way, you can ensure that your transport plane arrives at the Zerg base before the opponent's Wyvern or suicide bat comes out. And the Terran players who developed in such a development order, the first airdrop of the strength was almost all the troops that the Terran players were able to create during that period of time. If all this group of troops can be eaten, it will be difficult for the Terrans to effectively attack the Zerg quickly in the early stage, and the defense will be even more difficult.
Because even if the single battalion is converted into a double battalion and the tactic of quick airdrop is adopted, the Terrans do not have the spare resources to build a large number of troops. Even GAS can become scarce in the early stages. In the next battle, it will become very passive.
Therefore, HonYung knows very well that as long as he can perfectly disintegrate this airdrop and shoot down this transport plane, he will basically have the initiative in the battle.
And HonYung not only wants to completely strangle Knife's troops, but also shoots down Knife's transport plane.
This is why HonYung does not hatch all of its eggs into Zergling.
***
Knife's transport plane flew towards HonYung's mine without stopping, and his target, of course, was HonYung's Drone. HonYung's Wyvern Tower was formed at this time. HonYung's pre-prepared eggs immediately begin to hatch suicide bats. At this time, HonYung's ten dogs were almost hatched.
