Chapter 44: Come on, too
The four professional teams not only came by themselves this time, but also had a large number of fans in the surrounding cities, and the tickets for the budget competition in China were independently priced by H City, and the price was very low, which was basically completely acceptable to students, and office workers did not care about it at all.
This is done to attract the audience to the greatest extent, especially the local audience in H City, this is the home of the WT team after all, choose three out of four, no matter which team loses, they don't mind, as long as it is not their home team WT team.
However, considering that the main stadium currently accommodates a large number of spectators, there is no need for other sub-venues to be open, but the final seating of the main stadium is still overcrowded.
The competition will be held over two days, with the first day of the tournament being played by four teams to determine the team that will make it to the finals, followed by the second day of the championship seeding and third place, and the last place runner-up will miss out on the World Finals.
It's cruel, the four teams that have come all the way are undoubtedly the top powerhouses in the spring and summer games, and the fewer the eliminations, the more cruel the game will seem, but there is no way, this is e-sports, and the winner is king.
By the time the first day of closure was approaching, many of the fans who had come to visit in advance to find their seats had already receded, and the staff were simply planning to clean up, and the players of several professional teams were staying, walking around the soundproof competition room in the center of the stage.
Tomorrow is the game, the things that several teams need to prepare have already been prepared, and now I just want to see the stage of the World Finals held in China for the first time, and two days later, some people will be happy and some will cry, but at least now, everyone's hearts are filled with pride and happiness.
Three teams will compete at the same time, one team will directly enter the finals as a seeded team, and the other two teams will climb up from the group stage little by little.
Then everyone smiled and looked at each other and smiled, as if they felt what was going on in the hearts of these people.
"Come on." The captain of the EDG team said with a smile.
"Come on, too." Chen Chuxiao said with a smile, tomorrow they will be opponents, but in the future, they may be teammates who will win glory for the country together.
The lights went out in the arena, and several teams left to prepare for the next day's battle.
Early the next morning, there was a long queue in front of the E-sports Stadium in H City, because there were too many visitors, if the door opened on time, there would definitely be a lot of spectators who could not enter and miss the opening link, and the staff of the E-sports Stadium was also hard, and began to receive visitors from half past seven in the morning.
Such a good sales opportunity will naturally not be missing the stall of the E-sports Division of H City, and a huge stall has already been set up on the side of the entrance hall in advance, and the things sold are not expensive, generally around the WT team, and there are some refueling props, including the exclusive refueling props of several other teams, which will make them make a small profit.
The WT club did not set up a special surrounding area, and it was entrusted to the officials of H City, and they only had to share it, which saved a lot of trouble, except for some staff who needed to coordinate the allocation of goods, and all other staff members entered to watch the WT team's games.
The members of the second team also came, and they got very good tickets because of the club, after all, they have also been in the professional circle for half a year, so some professional players still know each other, and they greet each other in a friendly way.
The entry work is carried out in an orderly manner, and a large part of them are local fans of the WT team, after all, they have supported it for so long, and now they have the opportunity to cheer for the WT team competing for tickets on the spot, and they are still very happy.
And this cheering event is organized and disciplined, thousands of people on the scene are wearing the black uniforms of the WT team, the black pressure is very neat, and under the mobilization of Lan Lie, the audience of hundreds of people in a whole dozen rows are holding glow sticks and cheering sticks of uniform colors, swinging rhythmically from side to side under the command of a huge flag that says WT team, if you don't know, you still think this is a fan of a singer.
The WT and EDG teams entered the competition room very early, and there was an opening event where both teams had to come forward to say a few words to the audience, and of course, there was a raffle, and both WT and EDG clubs provided prizes such as headphones, mechanical keyboards, mouse pads, and T-shirts for the event.
But because of today's special occasion, some special prizes have been prepared, such as tickets to the World Finals, computers and the final prize is a round-trip ticket for two people in North America and hotel accommodation.
These prizes are enough to show the sincerity of the organizers, the grand prize is not one, but three, and other small awards are too many to count, there are too many spectators at the scene, after the host announced the prize of the first prize, the scene suddenly sounded a burst of cheers, and the cheers of nearly 10,000 people almost overturned the roof of the e-sports stadium.
The competition format is BO3, but watching the finals and the third-place competition is BO5, which is related to the ticket to the World Finals, and the organizers should give the participating teams more opportunities, which is also fairer.
Chen Chuxiao drew lots on behalf of the WT team, won the blue side in the first game, and then shook hands with the captain of the EDG team and cheered each other before returning to the competition room to start preparing for the game.
The day before the competition, the players had already adapted to the game machine in advance, and also made some adjustments, just worried that there would be some temporary events that were not good on the day of the game, and the organizers also promised that when there was no competition, the four teams could come to the stadium at any time to train with the official machine, which can be regarded as a small "cheat", so that the Chinese team will be more familiar with the machine of their home stadium than their opponents, although the impact is not great, but at least there will be some psychological comfort.
The match officially began, and the WT team directly banned the Void Walker Cassadine, which was also an understanding of the opponent.
The EDG team decently banned the WT team's Akali, which is a crucial game in every game, and although it has been proven that the WT team's Akali system is not very suitable for the current version, they still dare not release it.
The WT team banned the prince again, and the main tactical core of this game is not in the jungler, since the first choice can't rob Yuan Xiaoye of the hero, then he doesn't dare to let the other side get it.
The EDG team banned Wang Yan's robot, and since the second round of the Summer League, many teams like to ban this hero when facing the WT team, which can directly break many of the lineup systems that the WT team is good at, especially the strong lineup of four people pushing the tower at the beginning and the robot as a threat.
The WT team banned the King of War Pan Sen in the end, and this hero who can play three lanes is really troublesome, and the threat to the lane is greater in the early stage.
The EDG team banned Freljold's Heart Bron, although their own support likes this hero very much, but if it is released, the WT team will definitely rob Wang Yan.
After the ban is completed, the WT team did not grab people immediately after the selection, and there are many strong heroes waiting for them to choose, and they need to think twice.
In the end, I got the Dark Führer Sindra, the version has been changing, Sindra has not changed as always, the line is still strong, but there is no displacement and a little brittle, and now many professional teams no longer favor this hero as much as before.
After the selection of the WT team was confirmed, the EDG team also directly showed the mid lane heroes, the wind sword Hao Yasuo, Yasuo is a hero who is more powerful against Sindra, although it will definitely be suppressed in the early stage, but if the wind wall against the sky is put well, it can completely resist Sindra's outburst, whether it is in a single line or a team battle.
Another hero, the EDG team, chose the stone man, which should be to play the single, the strategic intention is extremely obvious, and the system has been undoubtedly revealed after only taking two heroes.
The WT team was also a little stunned for a while, but it did not prevent them from continuing to take people, and selected the top laner barrel and the jungler Monkey King.
The effect of hitting the stone man with a wine barrel is good, and the ultimate move of the wine barrel is also easy to defeat the opponent's formation, don't worry about eating a set of skills on the opposite side when the stone man comes over, and taking Sun Wukong is a little helpless, if you get the cooperation of the stone man Sun Wukong and Yasuo, the WT team will not be able to fight at all, but fortunately, Yuan Xiaoye's Sun Wukong is also good.
The EDG team then selected the jungler Zhuang Seni and the support Nami, and Zhuang Senni's Q skill can also be regarded as a forced displacement, although the time is relatively short, but no one can say whether it will follow a Yasuo's ultimate, and the reason for taking Nami is not to mention.
The WT team still has the last two choices, leaving it to the duo on the lower road, and the two of them did not hesitate for too long, and directly chose Ezreal and Nutan, the female Tan has more control and can also take the lead, Ezreal is flexible enough, and can hit the damage first with the ultimate, this lineup can be regarded as a relatively proficient lineup used by the WT team.
The EDG team only has one last choice left, take Nami, and the next hero will take Lucian, after all, this game EDG team is full of ability to start the group first, and Lucian's harvesting ability is perfect.
The lineups for the first match of the China qualifiers on both sides have been confirmed.
WT team blue side: top laner keg, mid laner Sindra, jungler Monkey King, bottom lane female tan with Ezreal.
EDG team purple side: top laner stone man, mid laner Yasuo, jungler Zhuang Senni, lower lane Nami with Lucian.
The lineups on both sides are considered strong heroes under the current version, and the hero of the barrel is gradually no longer based on pure meat, but half AP and half meat, so that together with the control ability, it becomes a functional hero.
In terms of the ability to open a group, although the EDG team has a stone man to cooperate with Yasuo Zhuang Senni, but the WT team also took the Monkey King barrel and Nutan, and the same three heroes with the ability to open a group did not give in, so after the lineup was taken, the audience on the scene became excited, knowing that this would be a peak showdown.
No team will keep their hands, and keeping them means losing the chance to get a ticket to the World Finals, and WT teams have been speculated to hide their strength since the beginning of the Summer League, and this battle also shows how strong WT teams really are.
Both sides had the ability to play a team and while the game was crucial, both teams didn't hesitate to rush to the jungle from the start and then turn to the opponent's jungle.
The WT team didn't defend their own red buff, but just left an eye in the circle of the red buff to observe the opponent's movements, and then everyone rushed all the way to the position of the stone man on the opposite side, and the partition wall squatted quietly after leaving eyes in the red buff's eye.
The EDG team did not pay attention to the red BUFF position in its own house, but it looked all the way to the red BUFF position of the WT team, and then prepared to forcibly take out the red of the WT team, and there was no intention of retreating on either side, this is a start to change the BUFF, this kind of start means one thing, the WT team will definitely change the way in order to save time, and it just happens to suppress the development of the stone man opposite.
The WT team also saw that the stone man on the opposite side was going out with a blue ring in the eyes of their own grass, so that the opposite side would be a top-laner AP stone man, and in order to break out, they had to change the line and suppress it.
