In late January, the third edition of WCS came to an end.

The fact that the home of this year's WCS was set up in Saint-Lina, a city known as the European capital of art, was very exciting for players as far away as Europe, and perhaps in their opinion, it was both a pilgrimage to the capital of art and a tribute to Europe.

The reason why Saint Lina is known as the capital of art is of course not only because of TBG, but also because of several other major art festivals in Europe, including music, film, and painting, which are highly concerned.

Not only that, Shenglina itself is a city full of art, countless great works of art were born here and then famous all over the world, countless people who pursue art come here to understand life and seek inspiration, and those who can hold concerts and art exhibitions here are all world-renowned masters.

Prior to this, I heard that other game companies had tried to hold competitions here, but in the end, they were all rejected by Sanlina, who has a very simple and clear definition of what constitutes good art - moving and appreciating with the world.

Touching the heart refers to the feeling of beauty, pleasure, resonance, admiration and worship that can bring people at the spiritual level.

Sharing with the world means being recognized by the majority of the world.

Both are indispensable, art is not elegant, nor is it the self-entertainment of a few people, art should be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, and it should be enjoyed with the people.

The expression of art itself is the transmission of emotions, and the narration of emotions, what can only be understood by a person who studies art does not show how elegant the art in his mouth is, but only shows that his level of expression is completely unsatisfactory.

The reason why Saint Rina rejected those game makers was either because their games didn't have a particularly convincing positive impact on people, or because their games weren't popular enough.

"StarCraft" is different, the game between the top masters, the fingertips beating like an afterimage show the skills beyond the reach of ordinary people, the magnificent team battle of hundreds of people, the scalpel-like exquisite super micro manipulation, and the convincing multi-line conductor, they are not only the pianists who play elegantly, but also the conductors who control the audience, and they are the generals who control the overall situation.

The battle of "StarCraft" has both finger operation confrontation, but also the game of tactics and psychology in the brain, the game of the top masters, just like the confrontation of two battlefield veterans, exciting, enthusiastic, plus the popularity of Interstellar itself, when I learned that Chuxin intended to hold the third WCS in Europe, Shenglinna took the initiative to release goodwill with Chuxin, and the two sides hit it off, and the first game event in the history of Shenglinna was established.

On January 23, there was a big upset in the round of 16, SKY, one of the two aces of CX Chixiao Club, was defeated 3-2 by the 16-year-old LIE of the SX Club of Kimchi Country, and the young player who had not paid attention to him before instantly became the focus of the media.

LIE has not played in any open tournaments before, and this round of 16 is also widely regarded as the most suspenseful match.

The first time he participated in the competition was WCS, and the first time he participated in the competition, he defeated Sky, who is currently ranked second in the world and is known as the strongest zerg in the world.

And as a stepping stone to step on the top of the sky, it was miserable, Xili Lake Tu lost to a little-known kimchi old, and the Internet directly scolded the sky, some scolded him for being careless and underestimating the enemy, and did not treat the opponent as a person, some sprayed him wildly whether he bought it, and some scolded him for playing other games on the weekend.

E-sports is like this, when you win, people praise you and you want to blow you to the sky, and when you lose, people scold you and step on you, and they want people to change their nationality.

The average age of the audience of e-sports is much lower than that of the audience of traditional sports, correspondingly, their temper is also much shorter, older, mature, calm, even if they see the Chinese people lose the game, most of them will be disappointed in their hearts, so as not to rise to personal attacks, but young people are different, if they lose, they are wrong, they should be scolded, and if they dare to talk back, they will be wrong.

In the next semi-finals, LIE brazenly defeated T1 from the same country, ranked fourth in the world, and also the strongest Terran player in the world, and the score was swept 3-0.

After the comparison, the wind review of scolding Sky changed slightly, and Lie defeated the old top god in two consecutive games, which naturally proved that he did have real power, compared to continuing to scold Sky, many people began to worry about VV.

Judging from the fact that LIE did not participate in a previous game, this guy is likely to be a secret weapon deliberately hidden by their club in order to make a splash at WCS.

can defeat Sky, at least it shows that he has the strength to touch VV, some people like to watch the plot of the dark horse to the end, but the audience in China doesn't like it.

When the rousing sound of "Breaking Dawn" filled the night sky of Saint Linna, this high-profile final battle finally began.

Han Xiaowei faced the challenge of children from the kimchi country, there was pressure, but not much, after two games in a row, she was pulled back by the opponent's aggressive rush tactics, and then she never gave the other party a chance, and won the WCS championship for the third consecutive year with 4-1 in the next two games.

That night, the young man cried miserably, his left hand tapping on the keyboard shook violently under the camera, some people felt sorry for the loser, but more people shouted "V God", the scene was a tsunami-like shout, everyone was shouting the name "VV" in unison, this moment was in stark contrast to last year's wide area library.

VV is God! It is the interstellar god in everyone's hearts, the dark horse is indeed powerful, but in front of God, his strength is still weak, and the suffocating and desperate sense of oppression in the game can even be clearly felt by onlookers, impeccable operation, impeccable operation, people whose psychological quality is not strong enough, and VV have played so many games, maybe the confidence will be crushed, just like the invincible SKT at the beginning, so strong that people can hardly see the hope of defeating it.

The night of the finals in Shenglina came to an end, and T1, a player from Kimchi Country, announced his retirement, which immediately caused an uproar.

The world's first Terran retired, and many people subconsciously thought that he was swept out by LIE, and his confidence was lost.

Soon the reporter found T1 for an interview, and from the interview, people learned the real reason for his retirement.

"First of all, I apologize to my friends who like me and support me, I really tried my best, but I was tired, for the past two years, I trained 16 hours a day, day and night, I defeated ZKING, I defeated Sky, I wanted to win VV the most, but every time I faced her, her strength made me feel terrified, I felt that my ceiling had come to an end, but I still couldn't see any hope of defeating her, and now I chose to retire and lose to LIE, I am tired, I can't move, I'm sorry......"

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

There is no high-sounding reason, hard work, try your best, T1's words sound a little sad, even distressing, yes, sometimes the gap between people is really not just hard work can be filled, T1 trains 16 hours a day, who knows VV is not like this?

Having been overwhelmed by VV for two years in a row, and now losing to a fledgling rookie, T1's last breath in his heart was gone, and despite the regret that there was one less tough player on the stage in the future, people still respected his decision.

Affected by this incident, netizens' condemnation of Sky stopped, and many people were worried that he was also the same as T1, and was directly punched by Lie and retired, and the people who scolded him before were comforting him at the moment, which made people laugh.

Fortunately, the worrying thing did not happen, and Nie Tian chose to retire without this defeat.
