Chapter 967: Capsizing
When Xingxin finished the game, he didn't expect the other game in the same group to end faster.
In this round, the Xuanqi team had a bye, and the other was the match between the trader team and the Yunxuan Pavilion team. The strength of the trader's team is quite good, following the 8-2 victory in the previous round and the 10-step kill, this round is even more heroic, and it actually slaughtered Yunxuan Pavilion 10-0 cleanly.
At this point, two rounds of fighting. Group B is dominated by the traders, who are at the top of the table with 18 points. Xingxin and Xuanqi are tied for second place with 9 points, but both teams have played one less game than the traders. As for the two teams of Ten Steps and One Kill and Yunxuan Pavilion, they are pitiful, after two battles, one earns 3 points and the other earns 1 point, the future is already bleak.
In the other groups that ended at the same time, in Group A, the Zhuxian team, known as the king of the repechage, seems to be really not as strong as it is year after year. After two rounds, although he grabbed 14 points and ranked first in the group, it did not reflect the strength of a professional team at all. The shape of Group A is still unclear.
In the other half of the game, Group C received the least attention because there was no professional team, but in fact, the game in this group was actually the most interesting. Because of the similar strength, you and I play very fiercely with each other, and the rankings are intertwined, which is even more chaotic than Group A.
As for Group D...... The strength of Jiashi can no longer be measured by scores alone. It's not hard for them to take all 10 or anything, and their toughness is even more evident in the time it takes to finish the game. Basically, the game is finished within 20 minutes, and this is the case for two consecutive rounds.
So in the Monday edition of the Esports Weekly, with the headline of the most unsuspenseful challenge in history, Jiashi's overwhelming advantage in the challenge was reported. As for the other groups, after briefly mentioning the victory and defeat in the article, the two reporters sighed, "Do we need to care about this?" These two looked at Jiashi's thighs, and spared no effort to rub them up, and they were struggling to please them in the report.
And what about Cao Guangcheng? With many years of contacts and his identity as a reporter accompanying the Jiashi team, he opened a column on the challenge page to comment on the Jiashi team.
Cao Guangcheng's comments are much more calm than those two. He didn't bother to cheer hoarsely like the two of them. With Jiashi's identity and strength, isn't it natural to have such a table in the challenge? You two are shouting like this, and people who don't know think it's something new! Do you want to be sarcastic or slap in the face?
Cao Guangcheng's comments focused on Jiashi's victory or defeat in the challenge at all. Years of interview work in the Glory League have given Cao Guangcheng considerable knowledge of Glory. In the column, he is more about interpreting the competition, so that the reader can realize what kind of Jiashi this is. Even when comparing examples, we will never use the teams in the challenge tournament, but directly use the strong teams in the professional league.
This season, Jiashi is actually one of the teams that made a big move in the summer, but unfortunately because it was sunk in the challenge match, there has been no such technical and tactical coverage. And now, when it comes to the offline competition of the challenge, there is finally a special report, and the tactical system of the new Jiashi team has begun to appear in front of the public.
Cao Guangcheng's column was well received for two consecutive issues. However, Cao Guangcheng himself was not in a smug mood at all. At this time, he was more concerned about the two consecutive issues of reports about Ye Qiu's change of name to Ye Xiu.
Cao Guangcheng always thought that in the circle of reporters, he was already the closest person to Jiashi and Ye Qiu, but the report of this incident did not have anything to do with him in the two waves before and after.
In the first wave of reports, Cao Guangcheng could fully see that Jiashi was using this incident to create pressure on Xingxin through the mouth of the media. This kind of thing, Cao Guangcheng has long been commonplace, it's just something that makes him depressed, the people who got this material are actually those two idiots, how did these two guys perceive this? There are not many people who can recognize Ye Qiu. If it was discovered by Jiashi first, then why wasn't the reporter they contacted themselves?
Compared with this wave, the second wave of Xingxin's response to this incident made Cao Guangcheng even more depressed.
Ye Xiu, that is, Ye Qiu, actually accepted the interview in person? Even if you're the party! But in the past seasons, Ye Qiu Dashen has not been the center of the topic, when has he responded to the media like this? How did you make an exception this time? And it's cheaper, Chang Xian, that kid?
Cao Guangcheng is actually a good senior, and he has always been giving Chang Xian opportunities step by step. As a result, on that day, Chang Xian locked him out of the door and enjoyed all the resources in the house alone. When Cao Guangcheng asked afterwards, he directly prevaricated with "nothing". Then, this guy actually got an interview with Ye Qiu......
"This kid ......" Looking at Chang Xian's name on this issue of the e-sports weekly, Cao Guangcheng felt itchy at the root of his teeth. In this issue of the weekly report, Chang Xian also commented on Xingxin's debut competition. Chang Xian does not have Cao Guangcheng's rich knowledge and background at all, so Xingxin has a topic! The eight-piece silver-outfitted warlock character, the bubbling battle mage player, Qiao Yifan who joined Xingxin from the champion team Weicao, and the two people who did not appear in this round of the game: one is the guy who destroys people tirelessly and makes countless people gnash their teeth in the realm of gods, and also makes many teams think about it, but the characters who have been repeatedly rejected actually joined Xingxin? As for the other, it's even better. Sun Zheping! The three All-Stars of Jiashi have to be called the former god of their predecessors, and this person also appeared in the Xingxin team coldly. Looking through the information of the previous challenge, it can be confirmed that there was no such member of the Xingxin team before, but as soon as the offline competition arrived, people couldn't hide, and a former god appeared as soon as he appeared, how many back hands did Xingxin still hide?
This kind of topicality makes Cao Guangcheng have to admit that during the challenge, Xingxin is afraid that he can be more eye-catching than Jiashi. Jiashi's popularity mainly comes from the attention and support of his original fans, but Xingxin is stealing the attention of more neutral players with his fresh appearance.
The third round of the group stage of the offline competition will start the next day. In this round of Group B, the Xuanqi team has a kill against ten steps, the Xingxin team has a bye against the trader, and the Yunxuan Pavilion team has a bye in this round.
The trader team scored 18 points in the game against the two non-professional teams of Ten Steps and One Kill and Yunxuan Pavilion, showing the strength of the professional team. But in fact, this team is not strong enough to look like a professional team. Being able to play so well in two rounds is entirely due to their mentality.
Group B has Xuanqi and Xingxin, which is recognized as the group of death. With these two teams locked in their spots, the other teams seem destined to become cannon fodder and leave no chance. At the end of the draw that day, the three teams of players who were divided into Group B were all in a mournful mood.
However, after this, the trader team actively adjusted their mentality, and even in the group of death, they did not give up in the face of opponents who could not be shaken head-on. In the first two rounds, they faced two other cannon fodder teams in the same group, and the trader team completely showed a more proactive style. In comparison, the 10-step one-kill also uses their usual scoring strategy in the game against the trader, which seems to be a no-brainer. If there is any attempt, the three teams must crush the other two teams who are also cannon fodder as much as possible, and then adopt the strategy of keeping points when playing against Xuanqi and Xingxin, and sit and watch Xuanqi and Xingxin compete with each other to win the opportunity.
Like ten steps and one kill, if you can't see the shape clearly, you can only be completely reduced to cannon fodder in the end.
And the proactive trading team, after two rounds, the shape has been laid quite well by them. The next step is to snatch points from the two strong teams, and then look at how these two play against each other.
The trader team with great opportunities, the players are in excellent condition, and in the game against Xingxin, a big upset was exposed, and they actually overwhelmed Xingxin with a score of 7-3.
The whole game was full of twists and turns, and of the eight games played that day, this one was the last to end. But none of the teams that finished the game early left first, and everyone was attracted to the fierce battle......
The final team match lasted for a full hour and a half, and when the finale came out, the six players from the Trader's team rushed off the stage like crazy and hugged the seventh player on their sidelines. Like the Ten Moves and One Kill, the Trader team also has seven people, but their seventh person is not a number-maker, and he also has considerable strength. The final victory made the seven people laugh together. They did it, taking seven points from the Xingxin team, and they were in great form to qualify.
The other game in Group B of this round has long been over, and the Xuanqi team won 10-0 with seven moves and one kill, without giving them half a chance. After three rounds, the Group B trader team played three games, accumulating 25 points, and was the leader of the group of death for two consecutive rounds, and the morale was extremely high; The Xuanqi team scored 19 points in two rounds, which is in line with people's expectations for a professional team; However, the Xingxin team thought it was also a strong team that killed suspense, but only accumulated 12 points in two games.
This result actually caused a round of jubilation at the scene. The Xingxin team has never had a good popularity, especially in the places where Jiashi fans gather. They have been looking forward to Xingxin's capsizing for a long time, but from the very beginning, the Internet accepted the challenge, and it was always the fans who were slapped in the face. As a result, now, in the offline competition, such an important game occasion, Xingxin overturned in the gutter, which is much happier for them than the Jiashi team scoring 10 points.
The scene burst into laughter. The six Xingxin people, who had just finished the team competition, were walking down from the competition field with their heads down. Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu beside him, and his mood was really complicated.
In the team competition, Ye Xiu actually did not arrange for himself to play, which made Chen Guo feel extremely unsteady. As a result, the premonition was really a good and not a bad spirit, and the team Sai Xingxin finally missed and lost the big score. What kind of mood would Ye Xiu be in at this time? Are you also regretting that you didn't play? Will you blame yourself?
Seeing everyone coming down, Chen Guo took the initiative to greet everyone and gave everyone applause: "Everyone played very well." ”
"Don't you talk nonsense, okay......" Ye Xiu's voice sounded behind him, "If you play well, you won't lose." ”
"You ......" Chen Guo turned his head, he was really a little angry, at this time, why did this guy still speak so directly?
As a result, Ye Xiu ignored the rules that no smoking was allowed in public places, lit a cigarette, and handed it to Wei Chen, who walked down: "Are you okay?" ”
"It's really *** tired...... Wei Chen took the cigarette and put it to his mouth, and sat directly on the seat on the side.
