Chapter 281: Eight into Four
"Eat fish, what did that woman just tell you?" As soon as Alberun, Li Jiani and the others left the City of Ancient Trees, Zhang Zinuo immediately came up and asked with an unhappy look. Lin Qianxue also said angrily: "That's it, just say it, why are you so affectionate, hugging and hugging, she shouldn't be interesting to you, right?" β
"Definitely not, even if she shows interest in me, it's just to get revenge on Mu Mu." Xia Chiyu said with a dry smile, "But I'm still a little interested in the topic she told me, do you want to help me refer to it?" β
So, Xia Chiyu relayed what Li Jiani told him before.
"What, that's just it. That woman, it's a ...... of chatter" Lin Qianxue pouted dissatisfiedly and said, Zhang Zinuo also looked relieved. Xia Chiyu said with a wry smile: "She is always very good at making other people jealous, she used to use this to deal with Mu Mu, but it is not easy to use on my dick." β
"Anyway, brother, what kind of hatred does she have with her sister?" Li Feifei asked curiously, "She seems to be like this when I knew you before, right?" β
"yes, didn't you say that before? It's a very clichΓ© story, but I also want to ask you women what kind of psychology she has, why can a woman love and hate another woman so much. Xia Chiyu turned to Zhang Zinuo and asked.
Lin Qianxue changed her upturned beautiful legs to the side, and said with her head in a way: "It's very simple, because Mu Mu is her sister, probably her closest person, of course she loves her, but at the same time, her sweetheart was robbed by her sister and left her forever because of her fault, so this kind of love-hate situation will occur." β
"A woman's mind is really complicated......" Xia Chiyu said to himself with a dry smile.
"That's right, so don't mess with women. I messed with a stupid when I was a kid, and I'm still being bullied by her. Chen Feng sighed and said, and at this time, Lin Qianxue glared at him sharply, and he had to look at him left and right.
"Still. I think when it comes to life and death, she should still choose to stand on her sister's side. Zhang Zinuo said curiously with his pointed chin. Xia Chiyu pursed his lips and replied: "I don't know if you ask me, anyway, in the game, I think this situation should be unlikely to happen." β
"Then, when Mu Mu was your ex-girlfriend before, she did this, what was Mu Mu's reaction?" Zhang Zinuo continued to ask, obviously interested in this topic, and Lin Qianxue also diverted her attention from the beating of Chen Feng.
"It's a little nervous, saying that it seems like Jiani has robbed a boyfriend, and then she's been more vigilant since then." Xia Chiyu subconsciously replied. Then he came back to his senses, "Why is it going farther and farther, I'm asking you what you think about the e-sports streamer, in case the road of professional e-sports doesn't work......"
"I think it's better not to think about failure until you try." Lin Qianxue frowned beside her and said, "If you think that you might fail at the beginning, wouldn't you be very discouraged?" It's better to think that it will be successful. β
"But I think it's not bad to eat fish like this, wouldn't it be easier to leave yourself a way out?" Zhang Zinuo said with a smile and patted Xia Chiyu on the shoulder. "What do you mean?"
Xia Chiyu thought for a while, then shrugged his shoulders and said: "Actually, I think this choice is still good, but it was Jiani's girl who proposed this plan, so I was a little uneasy." So...... I still decided to reject her offer. β
"Hmm. It's good. Let me know that you're talking sweetly with a vixen on the Internet all day long......" Lin Qianxue muttered beside her. However, thanks to Li Jiani's blessing, Xia Chiyu was not too happy at today's celebration banquet.
In the next few days, Xia Chiyu basically kept practicing in the competition uniform, and rarely landed on the official uniform.
Their opponent in the next round, "D.W" Esports, is the sixth-seeded team this year. I reached the top eight last year, and I also had some good performances in some small competitions, but neither in terms of popularity nor results. There is still a gap with Hanlin E-sports, and the expectations are not so high, so it is only ranked as the sixth seeded team.
Since Xia Chiyu defeated Hanlin Esports, the expectations have begun to soar, and their reputation in the professional world has also increased a lot, instantly overshadowing their opponent D.W team.
However, Xia Chiyu did not take this lightly, but carefully watched the videos of the past and previous auditions of the D.W team. This team is obviously slightly inferior to Hanlin E-sports in terms of strength, and its luck is not very good, it has encountered several teams with good strength, exposing the skills of several main players, which also gives Xia Chiyu a certain understanding of their skills.
On the day of the eight-in-four game, although the audience in the offline arena was not as large as last time, it was barely full, and it was rare for them to be so popular in terms of their past results. And most of these viewers were Xia Chiyu, who "snatched" them from the last game with Hanlin E-sports.
However, it was probably because last time their performance was good, and they won a few long-term sponsors, so that Xu Shuo was willing to spend more time on them, so Xu Shuo personally came to the training room to land the game clothes with them in this eight-in-four competition. Of course, probably by the way, I also helped the White Crane Company ask about some of their "official affairs" in the official server.
"Asura didn't show up this week?" Before landing, Xu Shuo asked in a low voice.
"Apparently not, and it doesn't seem like there's any news on the forums about him, or being attacked by the Death Star Alliance." Xia Chiyu whispered back, "I think, even with his speed of fighting monsters, it should take another one to two weeks under the current monitoring of the White Crane Company." So ......"
"Well, that's good. If you win this week's eight-in-four, you will have two weeks to rest, and if the situation is perfect, you will just get rid of the asura, and we will happily enter the finals. Xu Shuo clapped his hands happily and said.
"Is it still called life if it's so beautiful?" Xia Chiyu said angrily.
"Well, at least look forward to it." Xu Shuo scratched his head and smiled, and then Zhengse said, "So, what about today's game?" Do you feel confident? Today, there are quite a few viewers who have come to see you in trouble. β
Of course, Xia Chiyu also knows that most of the audience today is not to support them, but to see whether they are really strong or lucky to beat Hanlin E-sports, if they lose this time, these viewers can say "Ha!" These guys really just relied on luck to defeat Hanlin Esports! This kind of thing to taunt them.
"It's a pity. I won't let you get your wish. Gu Qinyan hugged his arms and sneered.
"Well, then, let's break it down, Captain." After landing on the competition uniform, Su Xing patted Xia Chiyu on the shoulder and teased, Xia Chiyu said in disgust: "Don't call me that, it's disgusting." β
Saying that, Xia Chiyu replied: "That's the case, the strength of D.W E-sports is 3V3, but because it focuses too much on 3V3, the skill setting is also overly tilted. The level of their ring competition is very low. So, this time our opponent in the ring was not Team D.W, but a new team called Team Fast, but the 2v2 and 3v3 opponents were still them. β
"Has the opponent in the ring changed?" Gu Qinyan held his chin and said, "This situation is really rare in domestic competitions." β
Generally speaking, large-scale events in domestic competitions, although the ring, 2V2 and 3V3 are also held separately like those abroad, but because of the different ways of holding them, they are held according to the team rather than the competition mode.
In other words, one team plays the ring match with another team at the same time, and all three competitions of 2v2 and 3v3 are played. Instead of the ring match, 2v2 and 3v3 are played separately and by different teams.
Therefore, to take a very simple example, Xia Chiyu can test the opponent's skill settings first through the strengths of the guΓ² ring match, so as to formulate targeted tactics. Then, after winning the ring, 2v2 and 3v3 can also have a big advantage.
In between, in domestic competitions, it is common for an entire esports team to compete against another team. It's rare to play a tournament like this against one esports team and 2v2 or 3v3 against another team. To put it bluntly, this system is actually a way to save trouble. Save money and time.
It was only because Team D.W was so focused on 3v3 that they abandoned the ring altogether. However, 2V2 and 3V3 still have some commonalities, especially in terms of coordination and tacit understanding, so if one of these two events can beat the opposing team, on the premise of understanding the enemy's skills, the other event is basically nine out of ten.
"There's nothing to pay attention to in the ring, Fast Esports is not a seeded team, and the strength is really not good, and the ring is our strength, so we should be able to win it steadily." Xia Chiyu explained.
As Xia Chiyu expected, Fast Esports met them in the ring match, and basically had no strength to fight back, and their team won the game and faced the next 2v2 and 3v3 with the D.W team.
Before going on the court, Xia Chiyu called up the cut version of some game videos and continued: "I mainly explain D.W's 2V2 and 3V3, the strengths of their two events, to put it bluntly, are based on the captain and vice captain of their team. The captain is a dark mage, and the vice-captain is a great sword knight, and in 3v3, he will be assisted by a healing support. β
"The dark mage is their captain Du Weicheng, a traditional dark mage who relies on the DOT of black flames to deal damage and regenerate health; The Great Sword Knight is the vice-captain Lei Qing, who is also a traditional Great Sword Knight and takes the high-damage burst route. β
"The advantage of their combination is that the Dark Mage can drain the enemy team with blood, so it only takes the Great Sword Knight to turn fire to burst out a wave of damage, in short, their turn fire is very flexible. This combination can be said to be quite troublesome, with high damage, good survivability of the opponent, and low tacit understanding required, which is particularly difficult. β
"Basically, you can think of it as a dark mage who continues to inflict damage on us and gradually lose our blood, and then the Knight of the Great Sword puts our bloodline into a dangerous phase. And once our side chooses self-protection or defense, the opponent can immediately turn fire and quickly let another teammate enter the dangerous HP, the burst is slightly insufficient but the continuous damage is very high. β
"The only weakness is probably that the explosiveness alone is slightly inferior to the combination of the orthodox mage and the Great Sword Knight, so our chance is for Lacey and I to join forces and take out the other party's dark mage before we hang up. And their 3v3 also relies on adding a support mage to regenerate health and defense, helping dark mages strengthen their survivability. β
Speaking of this, Xia Chiyu sighed: "Overall, in fact, our odds of winning are only five or five. The other party's combination is actually more restrained by the traditional combination of the thief method of the previous Hanlin E-sports, but for us, the dark warlock can attack and regenerate health, and the great sword knight wears plate armor, which is not such a fragile class, so ...... Let's take a look at the live table. β
"Come on, this is a test for you. Playing this combination, if you can grasp every opportunity, the feeling of fighting will be that no matter how much they fight, they will not be able to beat your blood; But if you don't grasp the opportunity and be suppressed by the other party, you will feel that the blood line of all members will drop very quickly and collapse completely. β
"I seem to understand it very well, I thought you would only take advantage and pick the door." Wake up said with a little surprise.
"You kid is really, I'll give you a salary cut next month." Xu Shuo happily patted Su Xing's shoulder and said, "This combination is actually the same classic popular combination as the thief method, that is, the 'tactical' combination of warriors and warlocks. It's actually very famous and popular in the professional world, and you should learn how to deal with these 'hot combinations' as early as possible to help you win the championship in the future. β
"So, how many favourites have gone on to win the world championship?" Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, Xu Shuo was silent for a while with a smile, and then replied: "World class champion? Never. β
"Never?" Lacey asked in surprise, "Not once?" β
"Anyway, there have been so many competitions so far, because ......" Xu Shuo said, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "The popular combination is also equivalent to being targeted, and everyone is familiar with the style of play of this team." You'll get to the point later. β
As he spoke, Xu Shuo patted Xia Chiyu and Lacey on the shoulder: "Come on, let them see your terrifying explosive power!" β
Xia Chiyu and Reis nodded, and then the two of them went on the field, and the game map randomly began to count down, and then stayed on the map of Blade Mountain Arena.
"Fight hard, this 2V2 ending is basically equivalent to our 3V3 ending." Xia Chiyu whispered.
"Yes, I'll follow the Mage's pace." Lacey nodded with a smile. (To be continued......)
