Chapter 226: Waiting for you in the ring
At the beginning of the first game, the 3v3 ended as everyone expected, Xia Chiyu and the speed e-sports team won the championship with a clear advantage. The audience is not interested in this, and all they want to see now is to use the power of professional players to teach the team a hard lesson.
"Alright, my mission is over, the next two soy sauces." Xia Chiyu said with a sigh of relief.
"Good work." Zhang Zinuo gently patted Xia Chiyu's shoulder and smiled, Xu Shuo also nodded: "Okay, I got a championship this time, and I should be able to get you a little sponsorship." â
Su Xing raised his eyebrows on the side: "Sponsorship? â
"Yes, esports players, the more sponsorships, the better, you know." Xu Shuo spread his hands and said, "It's either this sponsorship or that sponsorship all year round, you can maintain daily training and get money." â
"That's ......," Su Xing muttered with his chin propped up, "You can still get money for your daily training......
At this time, the anchor announced the second game, the 2v2 final, and the audience at the scene became restless.
This final is the key, the big bone team against the Huaxia team of speed e-sports.
"Let's go, let's play." Guchin Yan said to Reis, who nodded, and the two came to the arena.
Scene transformation, the map is converted to the most basic competitive map Ancient Roman Colosseum, a map without any tactics to speak of, very suitable for the 3o tactics they chose before.
"Then let's do the same tactics as before." Gu Qinyan said lightly, "After the opening, I will be entangled with Da Gu, and you will solve the assassin called Da Pai on the other side." Then you can come to the rescue. â
Reis nodded, and the two came to the field, and the big bone on the opposite side was also the assassin named Da Pai, obviously the relationship between the two was quite good, and the names were named after the ribs. The countdown of "5, 4, 3" began to appear in the venue.
"It's ......," Gu Qinyan said, and put on a posture to draw his sword. Rushed straight towards the big bone. Big Bone is not surprised, and their target is also Gu Qinyan, but their advantage is that there is an assassin in the team, so Lacey can only choose to attack Big Bone before the opening. The trio immediately became entangled in the opening scene, while the Assassin did not appear for a long time.
From this entanglement, Xia Chiyu can see that Dagu's reflexes are indeed quite good, and he is also very experienced, and he can always judge which way to hide at the first time. But relatively. Big bones can only choose passive defense.
"It seems that the assassin on the other side really doesn't plan to show up, he really has the strength of a newcomer." Xia Chiyu held his chin and groaned, Lin Qianxue held his chin beside him, looked at him with a smile and asked, "Why?" â
Xia Chiyu didn't notice the affectionate words in Lin Qianxue's sight, and just replied to himself: "The other party's style of play is obviously intended to wait for Da Gu to beat one of Gu Qinyan and Reis into a hard stun, and then that assassin will appear and cooperate with Da Gu to play a set of combos." Therefore, it is completely trusting that Da Gu can resist the combined attack of Gu Qinyan and Reis, and can also create a chance. â
"What an arrogant idea." An Ran pursed his lips and said with a cold face, "Lacey!" Give him a good look! â
"It's hard to say." Xia Chiyu held his chin and sighed. "Two melee battles are no better than range. When two melee fights against the previous melee, the collision volume of the object must be taken into account, which is the accidental damage. So, when entangled with multiple melee combatants. An easy way to do this is to try to stand in the damage zone so that the enemy can't attack indiscriminately. â
"Original...... And so it goes. Li Feifei said suddenly, "I didn't know there was such a skill." â
"Not bad. You look at the big bone, he always stays within the range of Lacey and Guqinyan's attacks. I guess that's what he calls 'sticky play'. Because you are too close to the enemy, it is easy to inflict accidental damage. Xia Chiyu explained.
Zhang Zinuo held his cheek with some concern and asked, "Then say so." Judging from the fighting style of the big bones, wouldn't we be right in the hands of the enemy when we sent two melee battles, Reis and Gu Qinyan? â
"It's not counting, their combination, even if it's a melee and a range, there's no way. If you bring a ranged with a high attack like a mage, it's easier to get sticky. Xia Chiyu said, holding his chin and muttering, "If it were me, I would choose to deliberately buy a flaw as bait to seduce the other party's assassin to appear, and then attack the opponent's assassin." â
As soon as Xia Chiyu's words fell, Reis was stabbed in the side of his knee by the opponent's sword, and he fell to the ground on one knee. The other assassin immediately emerged from the shadows and launched an attack on Reis together with the big bones.
"Well, that's a good choice." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let a high-defense profession like the Great Sword Knight be used as bait to lure the assassin out." In this way, you can look for opportunities to play a wave of counter-attacks later, but the key depends on the team-mate's ability to dismantle fire. If you let the assassins and swordsmen deal the damage, there is no point in being bait. â
As soon as the assassin appeared on the field, Gu Qinyan not only did not stop the assassin's combo, but instead put on a posture of drawing his sword and rushed towards Dagu. Obviously, Gu Qinyan did not intend to thwart the assassin's attack, but to prevent Da Gu and Da Pai from attacking Gu Qinyan together.
"Is it really okay for you to do this?" Big Bone asked teasingly.
Xia Chiyu knew very well what the other party meant, because Gu Qinyan was actually inferior to Da Gu in terms of personal ability, and chose to stop Da Gu instead of Da Pai, and the final result would inevitably be that Gu Qinyan himself was also beaten up, not only could he not prevent Lacey from being besieged by Da Gu and Da Pai, but even he would be in danger. After all, it is still the swordsman who is more vulnerable than the Great Sword Knight.
"Talk less, do more." Gu Qinyan snorted coldly, his figure fleeting.
Da Gu was not surprised, and his sideways dodged between the connection between him and Gu Qinyan, and then immediately turned around, and the long sword and Gu Qinyan's Taidao were spelled together. Gu Qinyan immediately jumped back a small step, the sword was back sheathed, and at the same time, he reached out to hold the iron sword on his waist, and slashed out a white sword qi towards the big bone. Da Gu held the back of the sword with his left hand, deflected Gu Qinyan's sword, and then disappeared in an instant.
"Where is it......" Gu Qinyan said, retreating to the left, at this time the big bone happened to appear behind Gu Qinyan's left, and the long sword slammed into Gu Qinyan's leg, drawing a "V" slash. Gu Qinyan snorted, and his speed suddenly plummeted.
"See? As soon as I do things. That's it. Da Gu teased, leaving Gu Qinyan and attacking Lacey.
Gu Qinyan didn't chase after him, he put on a posture of drawing his sword, his hand held the handle of the knife and moved slightly, Da Gu only felt that the space in front of him was slightly distorted, and he immediately paused, and then a circular sword qi slash erupted from in front of him.
Da Gu avoided this blow and planned to bypass the side, but Gu Qinyan's right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword on his back waist and stabbed and then pulled back, and a sword qi slash swept past Da Gu. And then pounced head-on. Da Gu raised his sword to defend, but was repelled a few steps by this sword qi slash, and returned to Gu Qinyan. Immediately afterwards, Gu Qinyan pulled out a double-edged sword and rushed forward with a thrust.
Both sides are cautious and conservative, adopting a one-move collision rather than choosing to use up their big skills in one go. In the usual competitions, most of the regular players play like this, firstly, to hone their basic abilities, and secondly, to avoid exposing their killer features to the eyes of too many people.
Of course. This is also a not very safe way to play.,It's actually about the same with a small move and a big move.,Because the hard stun protection is calculated according to the damage the player receives.,So the difference between using a small move is a few more times.ă Of course, this also means that between skills and skills, there is a greater possibility of mistakes. In big games, everyone uses ultimate.
Like the previous combo that maximizes damage when Xia Chiyu and Hua Xian were fighting, it is actually a gamble, and only when the extreme stun is about to go out of the limit is to put the high-damage skill on the last bit of stun time. If you don't grasp it well. Then the stage with the highest damage is wasted, and it is also an "unsafe" style of play.
However, high risk naturally has high rewards, and players usually use this style of play when they are in a desperate situation or when they have an absolute advantage.
"Oh. Dangerous! The big bone monster smiled, wielding the long sword to deflect Gu Qinyan's spurt, Gu Qinyan's long sword danced, his left hand conjured up an iron sword, and cut out an "X" shaped sword qi, and then the right hand sword slashed after him: "Don't summer!" â
Da Gu calmly deflected Gu Qinyan's sword qi, then jumped sideways to avoid Gu Qinyan's spurs, and then swung his sword to counterattack. Gu Qinyan turned around in mid-air with an elegant somersault to avoid the sword qi of the big bone, and the moment he landed, his legs slashed downward, and the double-edged sword in his right hand stabbed straight into the big bone. This blow slightly surprised Dagu, who had just recovered from his hard stun.
But Da Gu reacted quickly in the end, and he was stunned to swing his sword to deflect Gu Qinyan's stab, but he also lost his balance due to the impact and fell backwards. Gu Qinyan immediately spun and got up, and slashed out a whirlwind slash, due to the effect of the slashing iron sword of the two instruments and four elephants in his left hand, the whirlwind slash struck out a large piece of sword qi slash, and the big bone completely lost his balance and fell backwards.
And Gu Qinyan followed up with a blow to Ji Dongyu, and the double-edged sword in his right hand stabbed out five swords in a row. Da Gu sat down on the ground, and as the wolf got up, he deflected Gu Qinyan's sword qi with a flustered sword dance. Immediately, the iron sword in Gu Qinyan's left hand stabbed again, and the big bone also stabbed with the momentum of getting up, and the two figures flashed, each staying behind the other.
A line of blood erupted from Gu Qinyan's waist, and a line of blood also erupted from Da Gu's shoulder, and the health of both sides was 92% of Gu Qinyan's remaining and Da Gu's remaining 88%, which was about the same. But there is no doubt that Gu Qinyan did suppress the big bone just now, and continued to play a round of combos. Unfortunately, it doesn't bring any significant advantages.
"Oh!" The audience was in an uproar, and they all admired and applauded: no matter how the battle ended just now, the process was still quite exciting. Gu Qinyan's moves are quite beautiful and coherent, and Dagu also copes with them very well, almost like the most exciting battle between the protagonist and the final villain in a top action movie.
The anchor and the organizer immediately seized this opportunity to start inciting the atmosphere of the scene, but in fact, only a few people including Xia Chiyu can see the current situation clearly.
"It's not optimistic." Xia Chiyu sighed slightly.
"Hey, but I think Brother Qin Yan played very handsome just now." Li Feifei asked puzzledly, "And didn't you also suppress the other party?" The stinky rascal on the other side just now has been being pressed and beaten. â
"That's just looking," Xia Chiyu shook his head, "You must know that Gu Qinyan used the skill just now, and it was also a three-in-a-row move of a continuous technique, in short, a starting skill. But not only did Da Gu eat all his skills without using his skills, but he also coped with it very well, and he was not beaten hard by Gu Qinyan at all. I can't create a chance to create a zĂ o ......."
"To put it simply, people only use ordinary attacks, and all your skills are nullified." Wake concluded.
"This is a first-line pro." Xu Shuo said with a smile, "This kind of player rarely makes mistakes, and in 1v1 head-to-head duels, it usually takes a long time to confront each other before making mistakes, and basically only by cooperating with teammates can bring opportunities." In high-end battles, you will find that individualism is secondary, and only cooperation can create opportunities for attack. â
There was silence at the scene, and Xia Chiyu couldn't help but sigh secretly, in terms of the competitive ability of both sides in a fair state, Da Gu was indeed stronger than any enemy they had encountered in the past.
"Anyway, that's fine." Xu Shuo sighed comfortably and smiled. "If you can see the horrors of a trip to the top professional gamers, this tournament is worth it. Remember, it's not about individual heroism and equipment, control, and so on in AO, it's a competitive sport where cooperation and experience are all important. â
"Of course, the most important thing is talent and talent......" Awakening pouted and muttered.
"Hmm...... I don't deny that it's important. Xu Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "However, you also have talent and talent." It's just that you haven't seen it yet. So, believe that you can walk on the throne of AO. â
At this time, Xia Chiyu noticed that the rhythm of the battle on the field seemed to have slowed down suddenly.
"Hey, I said. How about a split of the prize money? I can let you win. Da Gu suddenly whispered to Gu Qinyan and asked with a smile at this time, "We just need to fight a beautiful battle, which is what the audience and the organizer want to see, what do you think?" I'll put some water on purpose. We're going to play as good as we can and use all of your best moves. â
"Hmph......" Gu Qinyan sneered, and white fighting qi erupted from him. It's really unashamed, and it seems like you can win whenever you want......"
"It's true, why be so rigid, it's just an entertainment game, no one cares about the outcome of the game, people only care about whether the game is exciting." Da Gu smiled indifferently, "You played wonderfully, bringing benefits to other organizers, and the next time someone holds a competition, they will take the initiative to invite you, and you have to learn this as a professional player." â
"You really don't have the integrity of a professional player at all." Gu Qinyan sneered, swinging his sword and slashing out three sword qis.
"No, that's what a professional athlete does...... Where do you think the sponsorships come from? Da Gu asked with a wry smile, swung his sword to deflect Gu Qinyan's sword qi, and then rushed forward, stabbing the long sword in his hand.
"I don't care, I just want to make more money before I retire, and I can do some business or something after I retire." Big Bone laughed.
"Hmph, I'm not going to blame you for your choice, but I'm not a fellow traveler with you, man." Gu Qinyan said, the iron sword in his left hand pushed away the long sword from the big bone spur, and the double-edged sword in his right hand coiled under the big bone.
"Really? Then I'll keep this prize money to myself. Da Gu laughed softly, raised his foot to avoid the sword, and then stepped on it the moment Gu Qinyan's double-edged sword swept by, stepped on Gu Qinyan's long sword, and suddenly grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand, and pushed it towards Gu Qinyan's abdomen. Gu Qinyan was a little surprised, but he still waved his left-handed iron sword to knock this blow away.
"I forgot to tell you, I'm also a double sword, if the scabbard counts as a knife......" Da Gu teased, launching a fierce attack on Gu Qinyan. It's the first time Xia Chiyu has seen this posture of Da Gu, and Da Gu has never used this posture in his live broadcast.
used the scabbard as a second-hand sword, similar to a pseudo-dual-wielding state, and started a fight with Gu Qinyan, who was also a double sword.
However, this is completely different from before, Da Gu used only one sword to compete with the dual-wielding Gu Qinyan Shun lĂŹ, and after he entered the dual-wielding state at this time, the stormy attack immediately suppressed Gu Qinyan.
Moreover, Xia Chiyu can be sure that there must be a second use for the sword scabbard of the big bone. Otherwise, Dagu only needs to directly dual-wield two one-handed swords, and there is no need to use the scabbard to create this pseudo-dual-wielding.
"Cut the iron, draw the sword!" Big Bone shouted, and the scabbard struck first, followed by a one-handed sword. The scabbard brought a strong gust of wind, and Gu Qinyan was blown back a step, and he had to cross his double sword defense before he barely stopped his retreat.
But the slash of the big bone's one-handed sword followed, a huge fighting qi sword blade slashed down, Gu Qinyan let out a dragon groan, and the two swords crossed and swung out, but the impact caused by the big bone wielding the scabbard was still there, Gu Qinyan was blown back as soon as he raised his sword, and his sword qi slash was blown away as soon as it appeared, and the slash of the big bone fell, slashing on the double swords crossed by Gu Qinyan.
"Hmm......" Gu Qinyan frowned, the dull bell rang, he was chopped to kneel on one knee, and the big bone flashed to Gu Qinyan's left side, the scabbard was under Gu Qinyan's ribs, and he was punched out for a short time, and the long sword in his right hand followed.
"It's actually a pseudo-combo, it's been a long time since I've seen this kind of play." Xia Chiyu said with interest.
There is also this suppressive style of play in AO, which uses a delayed flight barrage such as a slower sword qi slash to force the enemy to defend, and then cooperates with itself to launch an attack to break through the enemy's defense, which is a very old style of play. This style of play was very popular not long after AO was opened, but after the player gradually became skilled and mastered the cracking method of this style of play, it gradually declined.
The disadvantage of the pseudo-even play method is that it needs to be suppressed many times to create an attack opportunity, and it tests the player's handling of the details.
However, in contrast, Dagu's grasp of the details was obviously slightly better than the current Gu Qinyan, and he quickly seized Gu Qinyan's defensive gap, the sword scabbard of his left hand was on Gu Qinyan's chest, and a circle of spiral sword qi passed through his chest, and Gu Qinyan was also beaten backwards, falling into a state of hard stun and unable to move.
"I warned you." Da Gu said lightly, and the long sword swung horizontally, sweeping towards the gap in the armor around Gu Qinyan's neck.
At this moment, a golden light came from not far away, and Da Gu was startled, and he crawled to the left to dodge, a little wolf. The Royal Counterattack is different from the Perfect Defense, which can inflict a hitstun at the moment of blocking, and the Royal Counterattack still has a chance to dodge an attack with a flash effect, but it only has a momentary chance.
However, Da Gu was obviously too focused on the battle with Gu Qinyan, and he didn't notice Lacey and Da Pai's side, and he didn't even realize that his teammates had been killed by Lacey, so although he reacted to this blow, he didn't dodge it in time. Reis's wings erupted with golden fighting energy, and the long sword swept past the light armor on the chest of the big bone.
"Woo!" Da Gu screamed, the knight's powerful strength combined with the two-handed heavy sword, although the armor was not broken, but the big bone still spun and flew out, Gu Qinyan had recovered from the hard straight at this time, and immediately reached out and pressed on the iron sword on the back waist, put on the posture of the sword attendant, rushed behind the big bone, and the long sword was cut out.
The dense sword qi slashes and slashes continued to hit the big bone, and the slight impact from the blow made him unable to even fall from mid-air for a while, until he was pushed backwards by the sword qi slash that had finally accumulated.
But Gu Qinyan had already put on the subsequent posture of breaking the army, and before Da Gu was about to land, he turned into a pure white dragon and pounced on Da Gu. Big Bone snorted, and was knocked back by the frenzied sword qi.
And at the moment when Big Bone was about to touch the ground, four Silver Knights staggered into Big Bone from four directions, knocking him into the air, and the Golden Knight followed and hit him in mid-air.
In the end, Lacey fell from the sky like a golden meteorite, and the long sword slammed into Big Bone's body, smashing him to the ground, and the impact spread in a circle, and the ground caved down a small piece, and Big Bone's health also dropped rapidly.
"I don't need you to make the game exciting." Gu Qinyan snorted coldly and inserted the long sword back into its scabbard.
"Hmph, I hope you can be as calm as you are now during the ring match." Big Bone sat down on the ground and sneered, his body turned into green points of light and dissipated, and before he could disappear, he said the last sentence: "I will wait for you in the arena......"
"That's really a very strict question, the ring...... What to do with this difficult guy. Xia Chiyu was not happy for Gu Qinyan and Reis to win the championship, but frowned and thought secretly. (To be continued......)
