At the end of dinner, Linko remembered something and suddenly asked, "Chen Dongqing, aren't you still going to play an interstellar game?" Can you make it in time for this awards ceremony? ”

"Don't worry, the stars are all individual competitions, and the competition is very fast, and it will be over in a week." Chen Dongqing smiled: "I can catch up." ”

"Okay, come on, fight for glory with the club again!"

"yes, definitely."

After dinner, the LOL branch of QG Club officially entered the holiday.

The QG people had already bought their tickets home and went back to their respective homes the next day.

Chen Dongqing also returned home with his luggage and enjoyed a short vacation of a few days.

On November 9, Chen Dongqing set off again with his bag and left home.

My mother sent Chen Dongqing to the community, and she was still complaining on the way: "You said that you, you have a rare vacation, you have to go to the game, doesn't this torture yourself?" ”

Chen Dongqing said happily: "Fortunately, this competition is different from the previous days, I am not rushing to win the championship, and there is no pressure, just travel." ”

Anaheim is also a beautiful place in California, USA.

As he was talking, Lin Qianhua also dragged the box and walked over.

The two went to Anaheim together this time, and Lin Qianhua was a part-time travel companion and translator, purely as a honeymoon.

"Pay attention to safety on the road, foreign security is not as good as ours, remember to add clothes when it's cold."

"Harm, I know, let's go back."

In the end, the mother watched the two get into the car, and then shook her head helplessly and walked in the direction of home.

Back at the base, Chen Dongqing met Coach Park and his wife, and the two were also carrying luggage.

The four of them are the members of this trip to California, USA, and they are simple, simple and simple, and they can't compare with the battle of twenty or thirty people in their LOL branch.

"Let's go, the club has a car to take us to the airport." Park Yunlong smiled: "Have you practiced at home these days?" ”

Chen Dongqing scratched his head: "I didn't practice at all." ”

"Uh, when was the last time you played Interstellar?"

"Well, it's probably a week before the Worlds."

Park Yunlong: "."

Chen Dongqing raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”

"Not much, let's have fun in the past." Park Yunlong shook his head helplessly.

But there's nothing wrong with it, when does ilex need to rely on ranking to maintain the feel?

"That's what I've always thought." Chen Dongqing responded happily.

This interstellar journey has been full of unreliability and comical from the beginning.

Although there were only four people traveling, the club had enough funds to go, and the four of them still chose to depart in first class.

The crowd will fly all the way to Los Angeles and then drive 52 kilometers to the Anaheim Convention Center, where the competitors will be verified and registered, and then they can wait for the race to start the day after tomorrow.

It's another long flight, and even for first class, it's quite difficult.

After Chen Dongqing waited for the plane to take off, he called Lin Qianhua over to lie on the bed and watch two movies, and then slept again, and the plane finally landed reluctantly.

The crowd set off on the morning of November 9, Shanghai time, and after landing, it was 12 o'clock on November 9, Los Angeles time.

After landing in Los Angeles, everyone took a non-stop car and ran directly to Anaheim next door.

The 10th largest city in California and the 55th largest in the United States, the city's mainstay is tourism, and is known for its Disney theme parks, sporting events and convention centers that often host major events, where BlizzCon is held every year.

After the four of them got off the bus, they checked in at the Hilton Hotel, which is just across the street from the convention center.

After putting away their luggage, the four of them walked slowly to the venue.

It's not the first time Park Yunlong has been here, he took Chen Dongqing to the conference center with a familiar car, made a phone call and went out, and then soon a staff member came out to receive them and led them to the competition hall.

Today's venue is still in the final stage of arrangement, and countless staff are busy running back and forth.

Several people came to a conference hall, and according to the rules, the staff had to confirm Chen Dongqing's information for the last time.

After listening to what the staff said, Lin Qianhua turned his head to Chen Dongqing and translated: "Well, the ilex of the QG club, the champion of the 2017 World Tour Shanghai Station, is one of the non-Korean players, and then the race is the Terran, is this information true?" ”

Chen Dongqing just wanted to nod in agreement, but he seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "Wait a while." ”

Immediately after, he called Park Yunlong aside.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? Park Yunlong asked.

Chen Dongqing thought for a while and said, "This time, I want to change my race. ”

In StarCraft matches, the race information of the players must be registered at the beginning, and then the entire series cannot be changed.

But this rule is of little significance, the players who can go to the finals stage are all single-race unique brothers, and no one will change their race at will.

When Pu Yunlong heard this, he frowned slightly, "Why do you have such thoughts, what do you think?" ”

In Park Yunlong's cognition, Chen Dongqing is a super human race brother who is more professional than those professional players, and he hasn't played much of other races since he came into contact with this game.

Chen Dongqing is considered to be the peak of his debut, and he has won the domestic championship and the tour championship one after another, and he has also occupied the first place in Hanbok for nearly half a year!

In a 1V1 competition like Interstellar, the mentality factor is removed, and the qualifying results basically represent personal strength, which proves that Chen Dongqing is really strong and indeed has the possibility of winning the championship.

Obviously there is a chance to win the championship, why do you want to be a moth.

Pu Yunlong stared at Chen Dongqing for a long time, and finally asked, "Then which race are you going to change?" Zerg? The Zerg have been relatively strong lately."

"Nope." Chen Dongqing shook his head, "I want to play random." ”

“？？？” Countless question marks floated in Pu Yunlong's mind, "Are you serious?" ”

StarCraft has a random fourth race in addition to the regular Gods-Worm. As the name suggests, each game is played at one random among the three clans.

StarCraft is well known to have always had different openings, with fast breaks, anti-fast breaks, developmental ones, and chicken stealers.

All players will have different openings based on the race and playstyle of the opposing player to create an advantage for themselves.

The advantage of random races in the game is that the opponent doesn't know what race you are in this game, and they don't know what style you are, so they can only choose the regular opening. This results in random races having an inherently starting advantage.

But the shortcomings of this race are also quite obvious - they need to be practiced.

Countless interstellar geniuses practice a single race, and they can't eat a single race thoroughly until they break their hands, and you practice three races at the same time, and you still want to fight head-on with other people's champions? That's impossible!

Not even if you're ilex! Isn't that?

"It can't be." Park Yunlong immediately shook his head and said, "Once this thing is chosen, it can't be changed, you know?" I'm a coach and I'm responsible for you! ”

Chen Dongqing smiled helplessly: "Believe me, Coach Park, when did I make a reckless decision?" I really thought about it. ”

In fact, Chen Dongqing already had this idea when he played in the Shanghai sub-station, but he himself felt unstable at that time, so he didn't mention it.

And in the second half of this year, he occupied the first place in Hanbok for so long, and he and the major players of the three clans have killed for I don't know how many rounds, and he already has a very in-depth understanding of the other two clans, and he is also sure enough to make this decision.

At this time, Park Yunlong's wife asked on the side, "What's wrong?" Is something happening? ”

"He wants to play random races!" Park Yunlong said directly: "Do you know how difficult it is to randomly race? It's simply impossible! ”

"What's impossible about that." Coach Park's wife said, "When Xiao Chen said that he wanted to transform into an interstellar person, didn't you also say that it was impossible?

Park Yunlong was speechless for a while.

"No way, it's not negotiable. In my opinion, as long as you choose the Terran and give full play to your due strength, the probability of winning the championship is very high, and I can't let you take this risk. Park Yunlong refused categorically, "Unless, you prove yourself." ”

Chen Dongqing spread his hands, "Where can I prove this?" I can't find anyone to spar with. ”

Just then, the door to the conference room opened, and someone walked in.

This time it was a European with curly blond hair.

Chen Dongqing's eyes lit up.

Serral！

This man was his opponent in the finals of the Shanghai leg of the sub-station competition, and he also successfully advanced to the finals through the points accumulated in the four sub-stations.

Chen Dongqing pulled Serral, who looked confused, leaned over and said in simple English: "Brother, do you need a sparring partner?" ”

Serral was a little confused, but he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, no problem!" Wait a minute, I'll make a registration. ”

Practicing with ilex was exactly what Serral was hoping for, because he had lost so badly in Shanghai a few months ago that he wanted to find out more about the reasons for his loss.

The competition only started the day after tomorrow, and there was still a day and a half before the registration time, Chen Dongqing first suspended the registration, he waited for Serral to complete the registration, and then the two quickly returned to the hotel next door.

Blizzard is quite professional this time, because their Blizzard Carnival is a Blizzard family bucket competition together, so there are many players.

This time, they chartered the entire hotel for the use of all kinds of players.

In addition to the two rooms for four people this time, Chen Dongqing also has a special computer room for training.

Serral first came to Chen Dongqing's training room this time, with a computer for each person, and then listened to Chen Dongqing talk about the reason for sparring.

“what？” Serral was also shocked when he heard this, "You want to play randomly?" ”

"That's right." Chen Dongqing said with a smile: "But my coach is always not at ease, so I asked you for help." ”

"Brother, it's really impossible." Serral was speechless, "You don't think you can beat me with any random race, do you?" ”

Serral, as an interstellar player, of course, understands the difficulty of randomness, and he also knows that it is only something that exists in theory.

No one can play all three races at the same time!

Chen Dongqing smiled and said, "Just try it and you'll know." ”

Not long after, the two logged in to the United States and opened a custom game with two new numbers.

Chen Dongqing thought about it, but still clicked a random order and started the first game.

But it's a pity that the first game is the Terrans

Serral had no experience in facing random race masters at all, and he was still ignorant at the beginning, so he was ridden in the face by Chen Dongqing's two boat soldiers, and the poisonous explosion insects that came out in a hurry were directly crushed by Chen Dongqing's picturesque stragglers.

Serral：“.”

Isn't this still a Terran? You're disgusting like that, aren't you?

Chen Dongqing was also a little speechless when he saw it, and he said happily: "I can't help this, next one!" ”

The second game will start soon.

This time, Chen Dongqing randomly came to the Zerg, he glanced at the size of the map, and learned that this time it was a small map, and then quickly had an idea.

On the other hand, Serral still didn't know about it, so he could only choose to open normally and try to develop steadily.

But soon, six dogs rushed to his second mine.

Serral was taken aback.

It's over, 12D!

12D is the ultimate fast-break tactic of the Zerg, which uses all the initial 12 farmers to speed up and build troops, and catch the opponent off guard.

This style of play highlights that you and I can only live one, and 12D is a big advantage.

didn't hit it, it was just laughter and laughter.

A five-minute game, highlighting the speed of winning and losing.

Serral faced a random enemy, how could he think of this trick, his second mine has not yet been built, let alone invested in the defensive forces, just one shot was eaten clean, and he entered a huge disadvantage by nature!

With a few mines at the beginning, Serral tried to struggle, but he fell behind in resources, and the Zerg troops kept coming over, suppressing him breathlessly.

In the end, he had to choose GG.

"Oh, no" Serral shook his head helplessly.

He never expected that he would actually lose in the Zerg Civil War.

He knew where he was losing, but because of that, he was speechless.

He didn't expect that after Ilex turned random, the shortcomings had not been exposed, but the advantages were the first to be shown.

You see that the opposite side is a random race, how can you think of anti-12D?

After Chen Dongqing won the game, he turned his head back to look at his coach.

Pu Yunlong clasped his hands to his chest, his face unchanged, "Let's take another look." ”

Both of these are fast attacks based on the advantages of random races, and the main one is unexpected, and the reference is not significant.

Chen Dongqing turned his head and asked, "Another one?" ”

"Come!" Serral immediately nodded in response!

In the third game, Chen Dongqing randomly came out of the Protoss, he thought about it and quickly had a plan.

This time, he had no intention of attacking quickly, and the Protoss was not strong in this regard.

But. Serral, who has been doing two rounds of fast attack, is afraid of the well rope for ten years, and he honestly sent troops to defend against fast attack at the beginning, which caused his development speed to be affected.

And when he found that the opposite Protoss did not attack, and quickly organized his own troops to counterattack the past, he found that the opposite Protoss had already set up a building complex composed of batteries and bunkers to protect the mining area impermeable.

Serral's wave of attacks did not make any difference, but instead lost a lot of money, and finally had to withdraw and recuperate.

But during the time of recuperation, the bunker of the Protoss is still being laid outward, and the area is rapidly expanding!

This style of play is familiar, right?

This set of tactics is carried forward by domestic SED teachers, called manure pit flow.

It is to use construction units to continuously expand the map, focusing on defense and development tactics, similar to the urbanization tactics of the Terrans, a game is guaranteed for half an hour, while torturing the opponent and himself, highlighting a bladder.

When Serral saw this scene later, everyone was dizzy and recalled some bad memories.

In the middle of the year, in Shanghai, Ilex took the championship away from him with a hand of Terran urbanization, which made him sick enough.

But now, even if this B plays the Protoss, the disgusting level is still the same!

Serral originally thought that the level of the Ilex Protoss might not be high, and maybe he could find a flaw, so he went back to gather his forces and charged again!

But this time the charge still failed to open any gaps, and a wave of troops rolled in, almost without making any waves, and was easily wiped out.

Serral was a bit of a surprise at this point.

The micro-manipulation shown by ilex in this wave of fighting, even he has to say, it's really good!

In the third game, which lasted for twenty minutes, Serral played until the resources were low, and he failed to get any chance from the Protoss, and finally had to choose GG.

When Chen Dongqing saw this scene, he turned his head to look at the coach again.

The first two games can be said to account for the fast break bonus, but this game focuses on defense, and in the face of Serral's offensive defense, there must be nothing to say, right?

At this time, Pu Yunlong's face also eased a lot, but he still said, "Two more, take a look." ”

Chen Dongqing turned his head again and asked, "Come again?" ”

Serral was right up and immediately replied, "Come again!" ”

The training match continues.

The two quickly beat down one after another.

Serral is not deprived of the title of genius, and in the fourth game, he has gradually found a way to deal with random races, and has selected a set of balanced offensive and defensive openings, making the game a little more suspenseful.

But he still didn't win.

It wasn't until the fifth game that Serral finally won another game by relying on the Zerg Civil War.

The two played all the way to ten rounds, and by the end, Serral seemed to have found the experience and tricks, and then barely won two more rounds, and each game was won with a lot of sweat!

In ten games, Chen Dongqing was happy to mention a 7-3 record, which is absolutely enough.

It was only at this point that Serral finally couldn't hold back and ended today's training match.

"Will you fight tomorrow?" Chen Dongqing asked happily.

"Hit!" Serral was not convinced, and chose to come back tomorrow, today he just got off the plane and was not in good shape.

“OK。” Chen Dongqing nodded happily and sent Serral out of the room.

After coming back, Chen Dongqing looked at the coach again and asked, "Do you think it's okay to randomly race?" ”

At this time, the stubborn Coach Park finally had nothing to say, and said helplessly: "Whatever you want, I can only hope that you will not regret it at that time." ”

Chen Dongqing grinned: "Don't worry, it won't." ”

Walking on the way to the competition venue, Park Yunlong shook his head helplessly.

Unexpectedly, on the stage of the WCS finals, there would be players of random races.

If this news spreads on the Internet, how big a ripple will it cause?

I'll talk about something in advance.

I planned the outline of this interstellar dungeon today, and I noticed that there were some problems.

As a side ending that paved the way for a whole season, if I had written it in one or two chapters, it would have been a bit anticlimactic, so I had to write it longer.

My plan is to finish this quest in about a week.

But the problem is that if you write long, you will inevitably need to write the content of the game in more detail, which may be a little difficult for viewers who have never played interstellar.

And for viewers who have played Interstellar, detailed content may lead to more holes.

In other words, double torture.

For this interstellar dungeon, I have prepared very detailed information for reference, minimizing flaws and using easy-to-understand language.

Anyway, the brothers are more to bear~
