Chapter 123: The Sharpest Spear

After a short offseason, it was the full meeting of the East and West Six.

In the west, only Mars dominates, but in the east, in addition to the stable performance of HG and TPG, it is SOD, a dark horse that lives in public opinion, that has attracted much attention.

Although it lost to Mars at the top of the food chain in the national competition last year, and the hardware problems of its own team have always been black material in the hands of keyboard warriors, this cannot stop its aggressive progress.

SOD had a strong momentum, and after winning the Elite Series, they had a bye in the East and waited directly for their opponents in the semifinals.

The same is true for Team Mars, who are also facing a bye.

The format of the pre-tournament shows that the bottom two teams in the east and west add up to a total of four teams, and two groups will be drawn to determine the winner, and the winner will then draw lots to determine whether the team will be Mars or SOD, and the top four teams will be born at the same time.

If both teams in the East and West No. 1 teams are successful, Mars and SOD will eventually compete for the No. 1 seed, and so on.

All that is clear now is that SOD and Mars were the first to secure a ticket to Worlds, carving out a spot at Worlds.

Therefore, two days before the finals, SOD was still in a state of no competition.

After the final system came out, everyone felt reassured when they learned that their team had already qualified for the World Championship.

"If we let go and play, no matter how bad we are, we will be the fourth seed."

Chubby grinned and self-comforting.

Having said that, they are all running for a higher term.

"The fourth seed, that's just one foot in the door, and if you can't get in, you have to worry about it again, okay?"

The horse monkey looked at the chubby grinning appearance, rolled his eyes and whispered a reminder.

The No. 4 seed did get a ticket to the Worlds, but this ticket may have a "scalper ticket" connotation.

The fourth-seeded team will have to play the play-in rounds and have enough points to determine if their team has a chance to perform in the group stage and even the final of the Worlds.

"No one can take it lightly until the dust settles."

Zhao Qichen glanced at Xiaopang, and Xiaopang was so frightened that Xiaopang immediately smiled and silenced.

For both days, the players settled in the hotel provided by the official event.

There is no game, and it is not convenient to appear in the viewing seat, so all SOD members will gather in Zhao Qichen's room and watch the live broadcast of the game with the LCD TV in the hotel.

The draw was very dramatic, with the East and West players each deciding the winner, which means that after two weeks of competition between the East and the West, the final still depends on the East and the East, and the West and the West.

The results of the first day ended with a victory for HG.

Most of the esports community feels sorry for TPG.

TPG randomly draws a team from the west, in fact, according to the strength of the east to "completely crush" the west, they will not stop in the first game of the finals.

For a while, the topic of "distressed TGP" on Weibo was once airborne.

"It's also enough to back, and the strength of the two teams behind the east is actually really good."

The horse monkey is also smacking his tongue on the side.

When the previous games in the west were reviewed, they had all seen it, and it was really no wonder that the media said that they were stinky fish and rotten shrimp, not that there was no reason at all.

It was completely Mars whose head was pressed to the ground and blasted the hammer.

"Did the west spend a lot of money to do some kind of black-box operation during the lottery?"

The chubby tone was darkly rubbing, echoing the words of the horse monkey and teasing.

Zhao Qichen extinguished the TV screen on the side, put down the remote control and stood up.

"Tomorrow I'll find an Internet café nearby to train."

Zhao Qichen's words are clearly indicating that there is no need to watch the live broadcast tomorrow, and it will be directly changed to a training session.

It seems that even the steady captain thinks that the "big war" in the west is not interesting......

"Hopefully we'll be able to meet the teams from the West when the draw is final."

The old wolf laughed and said what he thought sincerely.

Now that Zhao Qichen has already spoken, Lin Qiuran still fully respects his ideas in the resolution of the game.

"Understanding each other is not about changing anything. It's about looking at our own stuff and how far we can play. ”

Lin Qiuran still remembers what Zhao Qichen and the team members said when they were reviewing at the base.

Although she had overheard it, she couldn't agree more.

Although she has no competition experience, as a passerby player who has been in the fourth row with professional players for nearly a month, Lin Qiuran also has her own understanding of this game.

As long as they can type out what they prepared during training, it's actually enough.

The overall style of the SOD team has always been the sharpest spear.

After the baptism before the game, Zhao Qichen, as the captain, and the team members resolved the estrangement that had always existed, and this sharp spear once again gathered the most concentrated strength.

Compared with the supervision and management of SOD as a team manager, Lin Qiuran's mood now is more like that of a simple gamer.

She is full of expectations for this reshaped champion team.

Inside the room of the Mars team.

Kwon Sung-jeong anxiously paced the room, holding his phone to his ear in one hand and smoking sparkling smoke between the tips of his fingers.

Meanwhile, Mars' group stage squad was seated in the room.

All of them are substitutes.

Before the pre-match game, Mars was affected by the incident of the starting team member Xiaoyu, and the management immediately decided to change all the starting line-ups before the pre-game finals.

The substitute players who have always felt that they can't get through finally see the light of a competition.

Although they know that they only qualify for the group stage, it is much better than sitting on the bench all the time.

Mars's sudden change of plan is not only due to the impact of the light rain incident, but also because SOD's recent performance has really made them feel threatened.

If the full body lineup is exposed too early, it will definitely be figured out in advance.

Now that the group stage is over and the substitutes have done what they were supposed to do, it's time to recall the starting line-up.

However, Quan Cheng made countless phone calls and asked the first few veterans to come to the hotel in advance to gather, but they lost contact with Xiaoyu Zangyue.

According to the descriptions of the other two team members, Xiaoyu and Kuraoyue left the base one after the other last night.

Xiaoyu's character Quan Cheng knows in his heart that it is nothing more than going out to drink.

But Zangyue's sudden disappearance was something he didn't expect.

"Fuck ......"

Listening to the blind sound in the earpiece of the mobile phone, Quan Cheng couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Mao Taro sat upright on the edge of the sofa, and he was also worried at this time.

Zangyue was the hardest working starter he'd ever seen at the base, and he couldn't think of any reason why he wasn't showing up.

Combined with the fact that he has been going out frequently recently, the worry in Mao Taro's heart far outweighs the curiosity.

Is something happening?
