Although the focus of Hanlin E-sports is on 2V2, the Ring Match and 3V3 obviously do not intend to let Xia Chiyu and their newly established e-sports team win easily. On the other hand, on Xia Chiyu's side, because they have not been established for a long time, they have not yet chosen the focus of the game.

If I have to say it, what they are best at should be the ring match, because it only tests individual ability and does not need to cooperate.

However, the four of them have been acting together for so long, and in terms of cooperation, they also have a considerable tacit understanding with each other, which also makes up for the weakness that the team has not been created for a long time. After all, the members of the e-sports team often change, and the members of the average team only have less than a year to cooperate with each other, which is about the same as the four of them.

Although Xu Shuo usually rarely cares about their training, he will still be there to guide such an important game as the top 16 of the Yanxia Cup, although it is only online guidance through remote equipment.

"You've already seen the video footage of the Hanlin Esports game, right? I guess I can't find any useful information, and watching videos or anything can only have a noticeable effect after the top four. Xu Shuo said, clapping his hands: "Then, the order of appearance in the ring match is like this." Let's be decent, Gu Qin said that you go first and find out the other party's skills. ”

Gu Qinyan nodded, and Xu Shuo immediately patted Lacey on the shoulder: "Lacey, after you come to the palace, solve as many members of the other party as possible, and then finally Xia Chiyu finishes." That's it, I want to remind you not to care too much about winning or losing in the ring, keep your own skills more, and at the same time force out the opponent's skills, and focus on 2v2 and 3v3. ”

Xia Chiyu and the three nodded, and when he woke up, he pouted unhappily: "Tsk, I can't play again......"

Because the skill setting of Awakening and the characteristics of the dark mage are very suitable for PVP, he basically did not expose any skill settings in the preliminary round, and the enemy only knew that he had the most basic attack health regeneration of the dark system, and he didn't even know that he was a non-mainstream bonus point. So Xu Shuo simply "hidden" him and used it as a secret weapon to press the bottom of the box.

The game is about to begin, starting with a random selection of maps. However, for the ring match, there is only one person on both sides, and the map will not have a big impact. After the countdown, the map stops at "Post-War Ruins". The map is set in a post-war city, with the ruins of buildings on all sides, and the playing field in the center.

Unlike other maps, first of all, this map has a square model instead of a circle, and then there are many small pillars in the field. Unlike the Nagrand Arena, where there are only four large pillars. Although these small pillars are numerous, they are not as strong as the large ones, and they are relatively easy to break, so they can be regarded as "disposable" strategic items.

Moreover, the auditorium is set in these buildings that are about to collapse after the map is converted, and the audience can be seen scattered around the windows of those dangerous buildings, but although these buildings look like they are about to crumble, they will not really collapse.

After Gu Qinyan came on the field, the first member of the opposing team also played. The ID is called "Zhang Qian". As for the level, the uniforms are all fixed at level seventy, and the attributes and equipment are also the same. At the same time as the game, streamers from various esports sites and live streaming sites were also streaming and broadcasting and commentating on the game. The round of 16 has attracted much more attention than the previous auditions.

Zhang Qian is also a swordsman, everyone's tactics are very decent, relying on universal professions such as swordsmen to play first, if not surprising. After defeating one member of the opponent first, you can also test the skills of the second member. However, when both sides are swordsmen, it depends on the strength of each team's swordsmen.

"Do you keep your skills. Hmph......" Gu Qinyan muttered to himself, putting his hand on the handle of the Tai Dao on his waist and posing for a posture.

When the first person on both sides is a swordsman, it is important to be able to win the first game. Once the first game is won, the skills of the second person can basically be tested, so that the second game is basically nine out of ten.

"Slash!" Gu Qinyan launched the first attack, because the sword servant's posture had been maintained for a while, this time the gallop slash distance was particularly far, and then followed by a flash, and in just an instant, he crossed the distance of forty yards and came to Zhang Qian. This surprise attack surprised Zhang Gan a little, and the other party immediately brandished his double swords and set up a posture to prepare for defense.

But at this time, Gu Qinyan's body turned around, turned into a hurricane and disappeared from the field.

"Wind Shift...... This guy is really, he used so many skills at the beginning, and he said that he wanted to keep his skills. Xia Chiyu frowned and said, while Zhang Qian was stunned and looked around, at this time Gu Qinyan had already attacked from behind him.

"Ping!" The sound of gold and iron resounded, and the two sides launched a round of firefight. But Gu Qinyan relied on the surprise attack just now to occupy the opportunity to attack first, and Zhang Qian has been suppressed in a defensive state. However, now the two sides are still just testing each other, Gu Qinyan did not even use the two instruments and four elephants, according to the current situation, it should be Zhang Qian who was forced out of his skills first.

"Tsk." Zhang Qian frowned, secretly spat to himself, and reached out to pull out the second weapon from his waist. But he is not a simple double swordsman, he is actually holding a dagger in his deputy!

"It's actually a dagger......," Gu Qinyan said with a frown.

Each class in AO can hold all weapons, just as a swordsman can hold a staff and a knight can hold a fist gauntlet. However, weapons have special effects, such as fist gloves that can increase the stun of fighting skills, and Taidao can increase the damage of a swordsman's draw and slash. The dagger was intended for Assassins, and the effect was to increase the duration of the Weakness Strike.

"Non-mainstream?" Xia Chiyu frowned and said to himself, I don't know why Zhang Qian wanted to bring such a weapon. The advantage of the dagger compared with the one-handed sword is that the attack speed is faster, but the attack power is much lower, which is really not suitable for the profession of swordsman, but the other party is a member of the top four Hanlin E-sports last year, so there must be some mystery.

Gu Qinyan obviously knew this, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he stretched out his hand and used the two instruments and four elephants to conjure up a short sword in his off-hand, and the double-edged sword in his main hand was thrown towards Zhang Gan. Zhang Qian's main hand long sword blocked this blow, and then the dagger in his left hand stabbed straight into Gu Qinyan's face. The speed of this blow was extremely fast, Gu Qinyan was taken aback, and his deputy, the short Taidao, was ready to block, but ......

"I can't keep up! I see...... "Xia Chiyu muttered to himself, Gu Qinyan was hit by this stab in the right ribs, and suddenly took a step back and fell into a state of hard stun.

Even if it's a short sword. The attack speed was still not comparable to that of the dagger, so Gu Qinyan decided that he would be hit by this thorn when he was preparing for defense. Xia Chiyu originally thought that the opponent's short dagger was used for defense, just like Gu Qinyan, the attack speed of the short sword was faster, and even if it was a late attack, it could defend against the opponent's attack in time.

As a result, I didn't expect that this dagger was actually used for attacking. But on second thought, this is also more reasonable, although the dagger's attack power is low, but although the dagger is an assassin's weapon, the special effect of strengthening the weak point strike is also effective for swordsmen. Therefore, with the off-hand attack, it is really suitable to create a mobile phone meeting in the mutual attack and defense of ordinary attacks.

"Flat cut stream?" Gu Qinyan frowned, and immediately thought of the other party's genre.

Zhang Qian obviously took advantage of the dagger's fast speed to create a zào attack opportunity in the alternation of ordinary attacks.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinyan took a step back and prepared to open the distance, and continued to confront Zhang Qian with his skills. With the opponent's special skill setting, he is at a disadvantage in the fight of flat slashing, but the skill is different.

The skill of the swordsman is increased by the percentage of the weapon, so Zhang Qian, who is holding a dagger, suffers at this point. Skill damage is low, making it difficult to hit hitstun.

"Why are you in a hurry to leave, people haven't fought enough." Zhang Qian spoke for the first time in the game, he said with a smile, and then changed the dagger to his main hand. Putting the double-edged sword in his off-hand, a thrust attacked. Gu Qinyan was first frightened by the other party's sissy and shuddered, but then the other party had turned into a white ray and rushed up.

"So fast!" Gu Qinyan sighed secretly, and hurriedly dodged to the left in a flash. But it was only Kan Kan who let go of the other party's thrust.

"I see...... The advantage of fast attack speed. Gu Qinyan frowned and muttered to himself, a line of blood spurting out from the side of his leg. The attack speed of the dagger is fast, and the stun after the skill is naturally small. As for the low attack power, as long as you attack at the weak point, you can also hit the enemy's hard stun by using the special effect of the dagger's weak point strike.

"This is really troublesome...... Gu Qinyan said, and continued to retreat, but the attack speed would affect the speed of some of the swordsman's skills, so Zhang Qian quickly swung his dagger twice and slashed out two sword qi slashes. The sword qi slash flew straight towards Gu Qinyan's ankle, and Gu Qinyan had no choice but to swing his long sword to pick up these two sword qi slashes, but after such a while, Zhang Qian stuck up again.

For a while, Gu Qinyan was suppressed by the other party and fell into an embarrassing situation: the melee combat could not compare to the opponent's attack speed, and the long-range could not shake off the opponent. Except for the dagger in his hand, Zhang Qian's other skill settings are very ordinary, and there are no highlights, but just changing his weapon makes his playing style have obvious characteristics.

Rather than a swordsman, it is more like a swordsman between an assassin and a swordsman, the type that haunts the enemy like Dagu, the difference is that Dagu relies on extraordinary reflexes and skills to stick to the enemy, while Zhang Qian relies on the high attack speed of the dagger.

But at this time, a hurricane suddenly erupted from Gu Qinyan's body, knocking Zhang Qianzhen back a little, and then Gu Qinyan's double-edged sword in his right hand was surrounded by a hurricane, and the hurricane immediately transferred to him.

"What a pestering guy." Gu Qinyan frowned and said, and attacked Zhang Gan, and his speed increased significantly.

The two continued to entangle, but this time Gu Qinyan's speed accelerated a lot, even if the other party was holding a dagger, he couldn't take the advantage, and the two sides went back and forth for a while, returning to a balanced situation, and neither of them created too good opportunities to attack. After continuing for a while, Zhang Qian suddenly shouted angrily, and a burst of fighting brilliance erupted from his body.

I saw that Zhang Qian's speed had also suddenly increased by a notch, but Gu Qinyan did not hesitate, the crimson fighting spirit burst out from him, Gu Qinyan's speed also increased again, and the speed of the two sides was equal again.

"That's right, don't dwell on it, victory is the most important thing." Xia Chiyu hugged his arms and muttered to himself in the audience.

This time, after the two sides were evenly paced, the battle was at a stalemate for a while. This is because Gu Qinyan has received two skill acceleration blessings, while Zhang Qian has only one time.

If Zhang Qian accelerated again, his speed would inevitably surpass Gu Qinyan's, but he didn't do it, why? In fact, it's very simple, the player himself also has a reaction limit, the current speed is already the reaction limit of the two, and then continue to accelerate, the reaction can't keep up with their own speed, which makes the attack uncontrollable, and the speed advantage is meaningless.

This is the difference between Zhang Qian and Dagu, Dagu's reaction speed is outstanding, even if the speed is a notch faster, he can keep up. And Zhang Qian has no speed advantage, and Gu Qinyan's melee combat cannot have the upper hand, but players always make mistakes, and both sides will inevitably take each other's blows, and Gu Qinyan's damage is obviously higher.

Therefore, as the battle continued to lengthen, Gu Qinyan's health gradually gained the upper hand.

This game is very simple, there are not too many flashy skills, the whole game is basically the most basic flat and slash confrontation between swordsmen, and the two sides did not expose too many skills, but in the end, Gu Qinyan won.

However, Gu Qinyan did not have much advantage, after all, both sides made mistakes, and when Zhang Gan's health was exhausted first, Gu Qinyan's health was only more than 20%. In the second match, this amount of HP will be a little dangerous, but as long as he can force the basic skills and attack routines of the second player, Lacey will be able to occupy an absolute advantage.

The difference between the tournament and the official server is that even the players who play the game have a one-minute break to communicate with their coaches and teammates.

"Okay, don't be too reluctant, we have the advantage now, don't expose too many skills in the second game, don't require you to win, as long as you can force out some of the opponent's skills." Xia Chiyu replied.

"However, it's not a big deal to look at the other party like this." Su Xing pouted and said, "The strength is very average, isn't it?" Can you be regarded as a member of first-line professional esports? ”

"You're wrong, you think it's generally because the other party is focusing on 2v2." Xu Shuo hugged his arms and reminded with a stern face, "2V2 and 3V3 don't require particularly gorgeous skills, but skills with very strategic characteristics. Just like Zhang Qian, he has the characteristics of a swordsman and an assassin at the same time, which is an advantage in multiplayer matches, so ...... Don't take it too lightly. ”

As he spoke, Xu Shuo patted Gu Qinyan's back: "In short, do a good job, and continue to maintain the next game." However, I would like to remind you that in 2v2 and 3v3, don't think that the fight will end as easily as a ring match. (To be continued......)
