This Asura incident, if you don't count the inside story that Xia Chiyu knows, it can be said that it ended with a happy ending. Most players didn't know what was going on, and Hakutsuru also let the players see through this "live broadcast" that the balance of the AO game has not collapsed, and their "calculation formula" is perfect.

Moreover, the White Crane Company not only offset most of the negative reviews with the live broadcast of this smash brawl this time, but also used this wonderful battle to hype up the game's combat special effects, and finally liquidated, but the positive reviews received took the upper hand, and the attention of the game even caught up with the previous one.

However, not all the endings of the events were perfect, Xia Chiyu and the four won the battle of Asura, but they lost the 3v3 championship finals. The reason is very simple, because their domain skills have been exposed in the live broadcast, although they still played a very exciting battle, but they still lost to Tengda E-sports with a score of 3:4.

But those are not particularly important, because although they did not win the 3v3 championship, they are the 3v3 champions in the eyes of most players, thanks to Li Jiani.

In an interview after the game, Li Jiani asked Tengda Esports, "If you don't know the active domain skills of Xia Chiyu, Reis and Gu Qinyan, can you still win this game?" In fact, everyone will know the answer to the question. Because in fact, even after Tengda E-sports knew the domain skills of Xia Chiyu and the others, they had a hard time fighting, and they could only be described as "narrowly defeated".

Of course, Dagu still stinks shamelessly and said in the interview, "There is no risk at all in beating a rookie team like Speed Esports for an established and top-seeded team like them", and said that "everything is expected".

But despite the nice words on the lips of the members of Tengda E-sports, it still can't change the situation of their narrow victory. And it is worth mentioning that in one of these games, Tengda E-sports played their "true colors" again, and played offline when Xia Chiyu had a great advantage. Then ask for a rematch. Otherwise, even if they already knew the effect of Xia Chiyu's four domain skills, they would not be able to defeat the four of them.

Tengda E-sports usually only occasionally used this kind of trick in the past, although everyone knew it, but because Tengda E-sports did have strong strength, no one broke it. But in this competition, Tengda E-sports used this kind of trick one after another against Sun E-sports and Speed E-sports, and even more so in the final championship match.

In addition, the four players of Speed E-sports have just defeated Asura in the official server, and the four of Xia Chiyu are being sought after by the majority of players at this time, and everyone hopes that Xia Chiyu and them can win the Sa Lian. Therefore, Tengda E-sports' behavior is even more disgusting, which has led to the disdain of many players, and the number of fans of their team has also decreased sharply. Negative reviews skyrocketed.

And Xia Chiyu's four-person speed e-sports, although they lost the 3V3 finals championship and did not grasp the three consecutive championships, but in the eyes of most players, they have won three consecutive championships. And because of the live broadcast of the Asura incident and the second consecutive championship won by the Yanxia Cup, the popularity of their team has been rising, and now the attention and the number of fans of the team have completely entered the ranks of the top teams, which is not much better than the number of fans of Tengda E-sports.

As for the bonus, of course, Xia Chiyu and the four of them did not get the 3V3 championship bonus, but the White Crane Company made some compensation to them and gave them a considerable amount of compensation. The amount is of course higher than the prize money for the 3v3 finals.

However, after the Asura incident, the executives of Hakutsuru Company still issued an apology letter to all the players, apologizing to all AO players, which roughly means that there are certain loopholes in the management of the game, but this is all because of the players, and their operators can't do anything about it. Not a word about the bug in the game's internal calculation formula.

Xia Chiyu believes that the translation of this apology letter is just one sentence: I am your father, I love to play or not, and I don't play or get out.

As a matter of fact. Xia Chiyu doesn't think AO's success lies in how perfectly balanced the game is or how good the gameplay is. After the emergence of AO, there have also been many excellent works in the next generation of 3D somatosensory games, which have completely surpassed AO in some aspects. However, AO has never been able to pull AO off the throne of next-generation 3D somatosensory games, and the main reason is the preconceived characteristics of players.

AO is very similar to WOW back then, it is a game that created an era of games, so in the eyes of many players, similar games are all imitations, and this preconceived concept leads players to always feel that "AO-like settings are good", and those imitations and innovations are inferior.

And the White Crane Company actually has a sense of fearlessness because of this.

However, none of this matters, the failure of Asura has proven that one person's strength cannot compete with a game company. With two championships and a number of honors, plus the praise received from players, Xia Chiyu and the four of them also embarked on the return journey to start preparing for the upcoming Winter Cup in December.

Regarding the outcome of this competition, although Xia Chiyu and the four of them did not say anything on the surface, they were actually very dissatisfied.

But as Xu Shuo said, this is just their debut battle, and there will be more opportunities to settle accounts with them in the future. And their goal is not just to win three consecutive championships, but to set their sights on AO's World Championships!

After the rapid rise of speed e-sports through this hot summer cup and Asura incident, its reputation has been comparable to that of top domestic teams such as Tengda E-sports and Feihong Technology. This training room is a bit unsightly for these two teams, but it has a more important meaning for Xia Chiyu and the four of them, so they rejected the training venue proposed by the sponsor.

Of course, they now have a "full set" of sponsors.

The so-called full set of sponsors is a full set of gaming equipment, from gaming helmets, to gaming recliners to cables, and all gaming equipment has a sponsor. Due to contract issues, only one sponsor can be contracted for each device.

So after that, Xu Shuo began to regret signing contracts with some sponsors at a lower price a little too early, and now there are so many sponsors who want to sponsor their team at a high price, but he can't sign with them because of the restrictions of the contract.

"But even though I set my sights on the World Championship, it's still a little uncomfortable to lose to a team like that." Su Xing sighed, the four of them still preferred this place to the training room where all kinds of advanced equipment and instruments were slowed down.

It's not just a training room for them, the upstairs apartment is also their temporary home. This training room can be said to be a place full of memories and human touches, or is it a place that makes them feel more comfortable.

"That's how we can beat them in the next game." Reis was quite happy, and he didn't feel unhappy at all because of this, but Gu Qinyan seemed to be more concerned about this matter.

"Tsk, the plan to eat fish is completely fine, everything is being calculated. After winning the first game, we could have won as long as we used domain skills as the main offensive skills. If it weren't for those bastards who replayed with that little trick in the crucial final tiebreaker and then resorted to extreme targeting tactics......" Gu Qin scolded hatefully.

"Alright, we're just starting our careers." Xia Chiyu sighed slightly and said. "We don't need to look at these things in such a tone that is almost over, isn't there a winter cup waiting for us after that? Soon it will be a shame. ”

The Winter Cup is actually the China Division of the World Championship, which will start with the audition, and then each city will be divided into a region, and each region will select two teams to hold the top 16 of the China Division to the finals, which will last from December to February or so.

Finally, the top four teams will compete with Japan and South Korea in the Asian competition, and the two best teams will qualify for the final World Series with the strongest teams from Europe, America and Australia.

The World Series, whether it is prize money or honors, is of course the goal of all AO players. Last year's prize money alone was $18 million, and this year's prize money is said to be higher than last year's.

It's a pity that the best result of the national server player was achieved by Feihong Technology, and it can only be said that it has qualified for the World Series, and it was directly crushed by other teams with a score of 4:0 after the official start. And other times. It was all a round trip in the Asian region, and even the South Korean team and the Japanese team could not beat.

At present, the AO situation of the national server is somewhat similar to that of the national football team, and when the competition is about to start every year, whether it is the major teams or the various e-sports websites. are full of momentum and fighting spirit to express this year's goals and the situation against each team, but unfortunately the final result is still "expected".

"Here, tea and refreshments." Zhang Zinuo said with a smile. Afternoon tea was placed next to the four of them. After the game, Xu Shuo was busy negotiating various sponsorships and contracts with several e-sports commodity companies or e-sports websites, and it happened that the Yanxia Cup had just ended, so he gave them a few days off to give them a good rest.

After the game, because he was going back to Xitai City, he just had a simple meal with Chenfeng and Liu Yiyu and others after the game, and did not officially celebrate. Originally, they wanted to log in to the game and officially celebrate with the people in the guild when they returned, but considering their recent performance in the official server......

Now things are developing to two extremes, on the one hand, the "Justice Party", the diehards of the previous Brave Alliance, further determined that Xia Chiyu and others were in collusion with Asura, and it was their responsibility to destroy District 1, and vowed to get rid of them; On the other hand, Xia Chiyu's performance that day made the four of them more sought after by fans.

But these two developments have made their guild the target of public criticism, and every day guild players are blocked to ask about the whereabouts of the four of them. Therefore, before the incident officially subsides, they do not plan to play the game for the time being, but only plan to go online in the dead of night when there are no players, and by the way, learn about the current situation from the members of the guild.

Until then, they planned to pass the time in the training room drinking tea, eating snacks, chatting, and playing other games. It is worth mentioning that although neither Altoman nor Jin Shiyan were killed by Asura, the Brave Alliance was hit by Asura's words, resulting in a certain decrease in the number of members of the alliance.

Moreover, after that incident, Nadya chose to join their side, and also added Xia Chiyu and Zhang Zinuo and others' battle.net friends, but only Su Xing was "missed" by her.

With Nadya joining, the power on their side has increased significantly, but the power of the Brave Alliance has weakened to a certain extent, and I believe that the people on Altoman's side will not dare to make trouble with them for the time being. As long as this incident subsides down and everyone puts the matter of the Asura behind them for the time being, they will be able to relax and play as before.

"Eat fish, look at this post." Zhang Zinuo's slender fingers drew on the tablet, and he replied with a smile: "I heard that a large number of light mage trumpets have begun to appear recently, and everyone uses several elements of trumpets. ”

"I've heard about ...... too," Xia Chiyu said with a wry smile, since the battle with Asura, the four of them had a lot of followers and imitators.

For example, there are many more swordsmen, who use skills similar to Gu Qinyan's weapon masters, and have different special effects when using different types of weapons, and are called "knife exchange flow" swordsmen by players.

The knights are divided into two schools, namely Reis's punisher and defender's style of play, the punisher uses a no-CD charge-based style to quickly adjust the position, and the defender focuses on defense, and then converts the defense value into an attack skill. These two styles of play, the former is called the "Stormy" knight, and the latter is the "Arashiyama" knight.

In terms of Dark Warlocks, players naturally imitate Awakening, only focusing the damage on the transformation state, and most of the usual skills are mainly to control and maintain the transformation, and after the transformation, the previous skills will be strengthened. It's just that the type of transformation varies, with some players opting for ranged spells and others melee combat, a genre known as "Demon Warlock".

And in the end, of course, not all players use nine elements like Xia Chiyu, but everyone uses a similar method to let themselves use three or more elements to improve their playing style, and then save the skill bar through various methods, this kind of mage is called "omniscient flow" mage.

The four genres have already started and may become the new mainstream in the near future.

Between the failure of the Asura and the emergence of these four new genres, this version is called "The Opening of a New Age" on major forums. (To be continued......)
