Chapter 92: Semi-finals
got off the stage, with a pinch of yellow hair on his pillow, full of spirit.
looked at Xiao Fat, his eyes were full of provocation, and then he glanced at the other party, and walked to Lin Feng's side leisurely.
"Yo, hey." Chubby squinted his little eyes, grinned, walked over and put his arm around the other party's shoulder, and said sarcastically, "Not bad." ”
"There was no stuttering and no trembling legs this time. Awesome, my pillow brother. ”
"Get out!"
The pillow broke free, as if he breathed a sigh in his heart, and said: "I learned from Brother Feng, and I have the true inheritance of Brother Feng." It's just a small interview, a little meaning. ”
Then he looked at his "teacher", his eyes were full of gratitude.
Looking at this virtuous teammate, Lin Feng was greatly relieved and patted the other party's shoulder to show encouragement.
What a pillow, we really have a heart.
Modesty and prudence, neither humble nor arrogant, this is the character that e-sports players in the new era should have.
At the same time, maintain great respect and respect for your opponents, and lower your posture, so that you can see your own shortcomings more clearly and make greater progress.
Lin Feng thought so and nodded at the pillow.
The pillow's eyes lit up, and he immediately responded, with a "I understand" expression, and his demeanor became more and more arrogant.
At this point, today's game of the Little Phoenix team has completely ended.
From the morning to 7 p.m., it's another day with a full schedule.
However, Lin Feng's heart was not so relaxed.
The team's game is over, but his game is going on.
According to the organizer's schedule, after today's knockout round, there will be a follow-up competition for the SOLO competition.
The Dota 2 game schedule is so tight and exaggerated.
At the end of the day, after playing two BO3s, and continuing to play the SOLO game in the evening, Lin Feng was a little helpless.
However, there is no way around it.
As a professional player, it is a natural thing to play a game. It doesn't matter how busy the schedule is or how late it is, as soon as the game starts, you have to be on the pitch right away.
This is the same as a doctor saving lives and helping the wounded, a cleaner cleaning the streets, a teacher teaching and educating people, and a soldier defending the country.
Esports is not only a dream, but also a career.
Since you have chosen this path, you have to abide by the rules of this industry, and this has been the case for all ages.
After a brief dinner in the backstage lounge, a few people from the Little Phoenix team who did not compete started their leisure and entertainment time.
The boss Niu Xiangtian pulled Wu Yong again and began to fight on the chessboard.
The big dog is on the side, watching it with taste, pointing and pointing from time to time, and there are words in his mouth, and there is no ancient adage of "watching chess and not saying a true gentleman".
Chubby nestled on the sofa, turned on his phone, and watched anime.
Next to Xiaopang, there was Meng Tao, who was also shrunk on the sofa, he was clinging to each other, his head was resting on Xiaopang's shoulder, his eyes were motionless staring at the other party's mobile phone screen, and he was very fascinated.
Seeing the appearance of Big Brother, Lin Feng couldn't help but have a strong sense of contrast in his heart.
An older e-sports player who is 27 years old, usually pays attention to maintenance, and has an unwavering mentality, when he watches anime, he looks like a child.
Sure enough, is a man a teenager until he dies?
Looking around, I saw that there was no one missing from the lounge, and when I looked closely, I found that the pillow was missing.
This kid, I don't know where he went again, he really can't be idle for a moment.
Lin Feng pulled his mobile phone, bored, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: No, could it be that this kid is going to ...... again
Hey, I don't know what brother I'll bring back this time.
The person with the pillow, you say that he is a cow, he used to tremble as soon as he was interviewed, and his words were not good.
You say he's socially afraid, but he's in the background and can contact anyone.
The duality and contradiction of human beings are vividly displayed in the pillow.
When his thoughts were flying, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and Lin Feng thought it was a pillow that came back, but when he looked up, it was an old friend.
"Chen, why are you here?" He was a little surprised.
The NB team has no match scheduled today, it should be in the hotel, how can they come to the gymnasium?
However, then I realized that my good friend also had a place in the SOLO competition at night.
Anyway, the two of them can meet in the final.
SCCC smiled, his white teeth shining, pushed the door in, and said, "Wind, you have a terrible memory. I'm going to have a game in a while, of course I've got to. ”
Lin Feng moved the place, leaned in, gave the other party a place, and beckoned his good friend: "Come, sit down." ”
The other party was not polite, sat next to Lin Feng, looked at it, and asked, "Feng, what are you looking at?" Still so focused. ”
Lin Feng immediately locked the screen of his mobile phone, waved his hand, and wanted to divert the topic: "I didn't watch anything, just some game highlights." It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. ”
"Oh." The SCCC deliberately lengthened his tone, paused, and suddenly asked:
"Beauty pageant, right? I seem to have seen two long legs just now, quick, show me. ”
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, distanced himself from the other party, decided to turn against the guest, and asked, "Chen, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" ”
"Feng, aren't you also this kind of person?" The SCCC asked rhetorically.
"Chen, I'm different from you, I'm looking at all kinds of chaos in this network with a critical eye."
"Wind, I'm the same as you, and I want to criticize it too. So ah, wind, push it to me. ”
"Chen, you've changed, you weren't like this before." Lin Feng sighed and shook his head again and again.
"Wind, you're exactly the same as before." With a smile on his face, SCCC looked at his old friend and had something to say.
"Chen, it doesn't make sense to say that." Lin Feng.
"No, Wind, it's going to be interesting, but it's on your phone." SCCC immediately retorted and looked at the other party's phone.
The two of you said a word to me, and chatted happily.
Time passed, Lin Feng looked up and couldn't help scratching his head.
Ay?
What about the people in the lounge? What about your big teammates?
After looking around, he found that only he and the Sccc were left in the huge lounge.
Lin Feng looked at his old friend and asked, "Chen, are you sure we want to continue like this?" ”
"Oh, the wind, you say." The SCCC spread his hands and said he didn't care.
"Stop there, okay? If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'll throw it up on you. Lin Feng proposed, saying that it was time to end all this.
"Okay." SCCC let out a long sigh, suddenly feeling much more relaxed, and sighed, "To be honest, I'm about to throw up." ”
Immediately, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The fetters that have been entangled for a long time have been untied.
The world is finally back to normal.
......
Half past eight in the evening.
Magic City, inside the gymnasium of the Oriental Sports Center.
The second edition of the Asia Invitational Tournament, the SOLO competition, is about to begin.
According to the competition schedule, today is the semi-finals and finals.
In other words, after tonight, the winner of the SOLO tournament will be announced, which will also be the first champion to be decided in this Asian invitational.
Lin Feng stood at the exit of the player's passage, his body shrouded in dim lights, watching the pre-game performance on the stage.
is also a martial arts performance, and Brother Fang Tian painted the halberd again.
On the stage, the one who fought against Brother Halberd was a warrior with a long stick.
The two fought, and Brother Stick fell into weakness and began to retreat. Subsequently, a counteroffensive began, bringing the situation back to a draw.
Finally, the two warriors stood still.
At the signal of the on-site staff, Lin Feng stepped onto the competition stage.
After coming to the center of the stage, seeing that Brother Halberd was glaring at him, Lin Feng smiled and nodded at the other party, indicating that he fully understood.
In the battle performance just now, Brother Halberd had another personal job.
is also a Chinese, and the other party's stick brother is also very cooperative. The two of them were obviously rehearsed in advance, and they thought that they had pinched off the part where Brother Halberd fell into a disadvantage in the follow-up.
Lin Feng knew this, looked at the opposite side, and nodded to Brother Stick.
Then, he turned his gaze to the man next to Brother Stick, who was his opponent in this game.
Sumail from Team EG.
In the semi-finals of the SOLO competition, the first game was played by Lin Feng against Sumail.
The two shook hands in the center of the stage before entering their respective battle rooms.
On the big screen at the scene, real-time images of the two players began to appear.
Lin Feng sat on the gaming chair and began to debug the equipment, constantly operating the mouse and keyboard, looking focused.
Sumail was a small and skinny staring at a computer screen, her eyes sparkling like a child's expression when they see their favorite toy.
Lin Feng is sunny and handsome, with some fortitude in his delicate face, revealing the subtle elegance unique to oriental men.
Sumail, on the other hand, has a typical Middle Eastern face, with a high nose and deep eye sockets, full of exotic features.
The two of them have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they appear on the big screen at the same time, as if adding a touch of color to the whole stage.
This is also paving the way for the upcoming SOLO competition.
On the commentary seat, the DC teacher and the bicycle teacher are in charge of the commentary.
The two commentators also worked very hard, and after explaining the daytime knockout round, they simply rested for a while and then started working the night shift again.
"Welcome to the Asian Invitational SOLO tournament."
With a kind smile, Mr. DC opened the game and said, "The first game of the semi-finals is about to be played, and the two players are Vigoss and Sumail. ”
On the other side, the partner cyclist immediately followed, continuing: "We all know that both of these players are very young players. Vigoss is 19 years old and Sumail is 18 years old. ”
"Very young, so young that people are enviable."
As the bicycle teacher spoke, he seemed to be reminded of his youthful years, and his eyes were full of memories.
Time always makes people feel helpless.
Hearing that his partner's tone was not right, Mr. DC immediately began to control the field, diverted the topic elsewhere, and said: "Although the two players are not very old, their strength should not be underestimated. ”
"When Sumail was 16 years old, he had already won the highest honor of the Dota 2 project, the TI Championship. It can be said that he became famous as a teenager and was full of spirit. ”
"On Vigoss's side, it's only been 2 months since he moved to the mid-laner position. He overwhelmed a number of well-known mid-laner players in this invitational tournament, and his momentum was like a rainbow and he was invincible. His excellent performance has won the recognition of all audiences at home and abroad. ”
Hearing his partner's words, Bicycles quickly adjusted his mood and returned to the topic.
After introducing some basic information about the two players, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly said: "Speaking of details, there seems to be some kind of coincidence between these two players. ”
"Oh, how do you say?" DC asked.
"In 2015, it was at the first Asia Invitational that Sumail was born and became famous in one fell swoop.
Subsequently, he won the TI championship that year. The bicycle teacher spoke carefully, and then the conversation changed.
Two years later, at the Asia Invitational, Vigoss also made a stunning debut, and the limelight was unparalleled for a while.
Vigoss seemed to be following the path the other had taken. ”
"If that is the case, TI ...... this year"
"Stop, stop." Teacher DC hurried to stop it.
In his mind, any prediction about the performance of a domestic team is not suitable for a single bike.
"Vigoss is unique, just like there is no second Sumail in the world."
"So the similarity you are talking about is baseless."
......
As he spoke, the game had officially begun.
Lin Feng is on the Radiant side, controlling the Shadow Demon, standing still under the Highland Tower, ready to be stuck.
In terms of outfit options, he is a regular outfit: a lacing, a twig, and a fairy fire.
The countdown to dispatch troops returns to 0, and Lin Feng blocks the creep's forward path and slows down its forward speed.
In the SOLO game, the position of the first wave is very important. If you can get your lane closer to your own slope, you will have a great advantage at the beginning.
"The two players have a slight difference in their outfits, except for the lacing, Vigoss is carrying a fairy fire and a branch. Sumail bought two branches directly. "The bike starts to explain the race.
"When the fairy fire is fighting, it will have an emergency effect. But one more branch will have a certain advantage in attributes. ”
As the soldiers on both sides advanced, the two commentators also saw some doorways.
Teacher DC was a little worried, and couldn't help but say: "In the first wave of card soldiers, Vigoss seems to be at a disadvantage, and the minions on the Radiant side are obviously advancing faster. ”
"But he's been able to adjust well."
"The two lines met, as if they were getting closer to the Dire side. In terms of opening cards, Sumail has a slight advantage. ”
In-game.
Lin Feng skillfully hooked the line of soldiers, controlling the blood volume of the minions, and did not forget to face A.
Sumail, who is on the Dire side, plays equally fiercely, and when he sees the gap, it is a flat ace.
The two of them don't give in to each other, and they are trying their best to consume each other's blood. So much so that after the first wave of troops, the number of replenishment knives of the two was not ideal.
"The two young men fought fiercely."
The DC teacher stared at the screen seriously, explained the details of the two sides' alignment, and said, "Both sides are mainly attritional, and this wave of soldiers is only replenished to 1. ”
"Such a fighting style depends on who can make fewer mistakes."
"An inadvertent mistake may be caught by the other party, which will affect the outcome of the entire duel."
As a party, Lin Feng also felt the other party's ability to suppress.
Compared to the opponent EE in the first round, Sumail is more aggressive and aggressive when laning, always looking for opportunities to drain the opponent's HP between reinforcements.
The other party's performance was all expected by Lin Feng.
First, the opponent is a player with such a character, and he will definitely not fight with himself for the basic skills of the knife at a glance. The second is that Lin Feng has studied the video of the opponent's solo game before, and he already has a rough idea in his heart.
Rao is like this, he was still suppressed in the early stage.
"The number of Sumail mending knives here has come to 8/1, and there are already 9 souls on the body. Vigoss was a little consumed, half of his blood, and he was waiting for supplies to arrive. "Teacher DC was a little worried.
"Sumail is so powerful, he actually stood on the high slope of the Radiant, stuck on the edge of the tower's attack range, and began to suppress further."
"Vigoss is uncomfortable."
Fortunately, the big medicine arrived in time.
After eating the big medicine, Lin Feng's blood volume was full, and when he walked to the line, he raised his hand to be a C cannon. Seeing that the other party wanted to fight, he exchanged A's with the other party, and then another X gun.
Sumail's blood was crushed, so he had to retreat and apply a large medicine. During the duration of the ointment, for fear of being interrupted, the recovery effect had to be watched by the opponent to replenish the remaining soldiers.
Subsequently, the consumption between the two sides became more intense, almost if you hit me, I will pay you back.
If you shoot me, I will definitely shoot you back.
Soon, the game time came to four and a half minutes.
The number of swords on both sides was almost the same, and at this time, the line of troops converged in the middle of the river.
While Lin Feng and the other party were fighting each other, he tried his best to keep himself mending. After compensating a melee soldier, I can't help but feel moved when I see the opponent's move.
Here's your chance.
"Sumail is empty."
The DC teacher suddenly became excited, in this level of fighting, a small mistake can bury the game.
At a critical moment in the game, Sumail actually had an empty shadow pressure, which is very unusual.
"Vigoss is going to fight back, first give the X gun, tie the A, press forward, and then the Z gun, and hit again!"
"Sumail bottomed out and wanted to retreat. But it's too late. ”
"Vigoss followed the high slope and gave another basic attack, the last C shot."
"Hit again!"
"Sumail's blood volume is cleared, and GG is directly knocked out."
"Let's congratulate Vigoss on winning this game."
Inside the battle room.
Lin Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly felt relaxed, winning the game just now was quite thrilling.
Sumail's solid basic skills and suppressive ability made him very uncomfortable for a while.
Fortunately, he adjusted in time, and then played steadily and steadily, fighting against the opponent.
By this time, his heart had actually been flattened, that is, he was consuming with the other party, trying not to show obvious flaws.
Because he knows that with Sumail's consistent character, he will definitely fight more and more fiercely. And once you get ruthless, the chances of making mistakes increase.
When the time comes, he will have a chance to make the final decision.
Sure enough, at a critical moment, Sumail actually emptied an X-cannon.
So, Lin Feng decisively seized the opportunity, pressed forward, forced the opponent to fight each other's blood, and used his advantage of one more shadow pressure to successfully kill the opponent.
In fact, according to the rules of the SOLO game, one tower and two bloods are considered to win.
After dying, Sumail can wait for himself to come back to life, and then TP down and continue to match.
It's just that, as a top master, Sumail certainly knows: if you die for the first time, you have already lost.
Because, the money and experience of a blood are very high, almost irreparable.
Coupled with the mending knife and experience that fell during the resurrection, Sumail knew that he had no chance, so he chose to simply knock out GG.
Taking off the headphones, Lin Feng walked out of the battle room, almost overturned by the cheers around him.
In the confrontation of domestic and foreign players, Lin Feng's victory made the audience excited.
Lin Feng smiled again and waved to the surrounding audience.
Today, this is the third time he has performed this maneuver.
On the other side, Sumail had also walked out of the battle room and walked towards the center of the stage.
When the two met, Lin Feng held each other's hands and said politely: "Quite a wonderful game." ”
Sumail smiled shyly, shook her head, and said, "Congratulations, you're playing really well." I'm looking forward to playing you again in the future. ”
"Me too." Lin Feng replied.
Subsequently, the two separated.
Lin Feng walked back to the runner's passage, and as soon as he looked up, he saw his teammate at the exit. Immediately, he laughed and said, "Yo, where are they all?" ”
"That's a must." The boss, Niu Xiangtian, handed over a bottle of water.
Lin Feng took it and exchanged a few words with a few teammates, and then saw a figure walking over.
"Brother Chen, it's up to you next." He gestured to the stage behind him.
After reconciling with the SCCC, the conversation between them finally returned to normal.
It's also strange to say, suddenly changed his words, Lin Feng still felt a little unaccustomed.
SCCC and Lin Feng gave a light high-five, and then the two passed by.
In a moment of staggering, the SCCC paused and whispered:
"See you in the finals!"
......
