At 8 o'clock in the evening, Team Baihua's e-sports stadium was already packed with seats.
The Glory League has entered the playoffs, and every game is extremely exciting and crucial. Whether it is weight or intensity, it cannot be compared to the regular season.
Take the just-concluded game between Team Samsara and Team 301. Although it was only the first game of the series, both sides used their teams’ strongest combat capabilities to compete. The final battle effect was
, which made the audience who watched that game very satisfied and excited.
The competition in the playoffs is more intense, and the attention is naturally higher than that in the regular season. The audience rushing to buy live tickets is naturally more active.
It is precisely because tickets for the playoffs are so popular that in order to protect some weak teams and limit the on-site tickets from being snatched away by fans of the opponents (strong teams), each club will sell tickets in a restricted manner.
Fans can only purchase up to 15% of the ticket slots.
In other words, out of 10,000 tickets, only 1,500 are reserved for away fans.
This approach is to prevent the extremely popular wealthy teams from bullying some weak teams that are not very popular. If there are no restrictions, it is very likely that the wealthy teams will go to away games, but the scene will be full of fans of the wealthy teams. That way
It's like a wealthy team playing its own home game.
Of course, although Team Happy is very popular, Team Hundred Blossoms is not low in popularity either. Not only is it not low, Team Baihua's fan cohesion is even higher than that of Happy.
Due to ticket restrictions, there were only about 1,500 fans who came to Team Hundred Blossoms to support Team Happy today.
Among the fans of Team Xingxin, there are a group of old friends that Duan Yu knows, such as Yue Zhongmian, Tian Qi, Fenghua and others. These people have already become the leaders of Xingxin fan group, and they established Xingxin
Fans Guild, Maple Hua, who has a smooth personality, still serves as the president.
Today is the first game of Team Happy's playoffs, also called the first show. So when the members of Team Happy appeared on the stage, under the command of Maple Hua and others, a group of Happy fans immediately raised a huge banner.
.
This banner is very large and long, but there are only sixteen words on it. These sixteen words are: Happy's fire can start a prairie fire! Team Happy, win the championship!
At the same time, 1,500 Xingxin fans also shouted the 16-character slogan loudly.
However, when the players from Team Hundred Blossoms entered the arena, the shouts of Xingxin's more than a thousand fans were immediately suppressed by the screams of nearly 10,000 Hundred Blossoms fans.
Although Baihua is no longer a powerful team, Baihua's fan cohesion is one of the best in the entire league. This can be seen from the fact that they can send a rookie to the All-Star lineup for two consecutive years.
One or two.
Now, although the glory of the past is long gone, Yu Feng's arrival has given the people of Team Hundred Blossoms hope to regain their glory.
After Zhang Jiale retired, the sad and angry Baihua fans were so cohesive. Now that Baihua fans have regained hope, how can they not be positive?
The cheers and screams lasted for more than two minutes, and then gradually subsided under the host's suppression with the help of the loudspeaker in the audience.
The two hosts hosting the match between Happy and Baihua today are naturally the current exclusive commentators for the Happy team, the duo of Pan Lin and Li Yibo.
But for playoff games, in addition to the two regular hosts, the organizer will also invite a special guest to co-host. This special guest can be a traffic star or a popular person.
E-sports players. Of course, this approach is not because the two hosts cannot host the game. The main reason for having such a link is of course to increase the ratings of the live broadcast of the game.
But as for who to invite, that is the organizer’s own business.
Today is Team Hundred Blossoms’ home court, so today’s special guest is also invited by Team Hundred Blossoms.
Today, Team Baihua did not invite traffic stars, nor did they invite popular stars. Instead, they invited the former leader of Team Baihua: Sun Zheping.
In the history of Team Baihua, there have only been two popular heroes, and these two are Sun Zheping and Zhang Jiale. After Sun Zheping retired due to injury, Zhang Jiale led the team alone, and his popularity and status in Team Baihua surpassed that of Sun Zheping. So.
If Baihua wants to invite their team's former great master to come back to host the show, the person they should invite most should be Zhang Jiale.
However, Zhang Jiale is now in Team Happy, and Team Baihua’s opponent today is Team Happy!
In other words, Zhang Jiale will represent Happy in the match against Team Baihua today. How could Team Baihua send an invitation to Zhang Jiale?
Since there is no way to find Zhang Jiale, naturally we can only find Sun Zheping.
As the first captain in the history of Baihua Team, coming to Baihua Team’s home court to cheer on their old club is also a morale booster for Baihua Team, and it is also a good attraction for the audience.
.
Originally, Sun Zheping refused the request of Team Hundred Blossoms. Sun Zheping was not Zhang Jiale, who was so emotional, and he could be said to have dedicated his whole life for Team Hundred Blossoms. But Sun Zheping was more free and easy. When he was in Team Hundred Blossoms, he was not doing it for Baihua.
It is not about becoming the strongest in the alliance, but whether the Hundred Blossoms led by you can become the strongest when you are in Hundred Blossoms.
When Sun Zheping was in Baihua, Baihua was his Baihua, but after he left Baihua, Baihua was just Baihua.
What's more, Sun Zheping, who retired from injury, has become more Buddhist in nature. Even his games in Team Yi Zhan are very Buddhist games. But there will be a certain advertising fee for hosting the show, and he will host Baihua Team.
The game can indeed give an explanation to the fans who once liked him, so after much hesitation, Sun Zheping agreed to the invitation of Team Hundred Blossoms and came to this e-sports stadium where he had struggled.
At this time, Sun Zheping was sitting between Pan Lin and Li Yibo, introducing the basic information of the two teams to the two hosts one by one.
"Dasun, how does it feel to return to Baihua again?" Host Pan Lin greeted Sun Zheping.
Faced with Pan Lin's unintentional difficulty, Sun Zheping smiled slightly: "Just be normal, after all, everything is in the past."
"So, what do you think of today's game, Da Sun? Who do you think will lose and who will win?" Pan Lin asked again.
"Both teams are very strong. The competition mainly depends on the performance on the spot. Which team performs better will naturally have a greater chance of winning." Sun Zheping is also an experienced player and can naturally answer these questions with ease.
, will not leave any excuse to others.
Li Yibo on the side said: "That's right, Da Sun, please predict the lineup of the two teams in the arena match."
Li Yibo and Sun Zheping are quite familiar with each other. Li Yibo, who debuted in the first season, can be regarded as the senior of Sun Zheping, who debuted in the second season.
Faced with Li Yibo's question, Sun Zheping thought for a moment and then said: "This year's arena competition has changed the competition system. In fact, it is easier to predict. The first three arena players on Happy's side are probably Tang Rou and Duan Yu.
With the three of them and Ye Xiu, the remaining two should be Fang Rui and Mo Fan. In the group competition, they are naturally the players with the strongest one-on-one abilities."
Although Team Yi Zhan did not enter the playoffs, as members of the alliance, Li Yibo, Loulan Zhan and others have also studied the style of play in the new season. After all, there is no telling when this playoff system will be implemented.
Maybe it will be included in next year's regular season.
Team Happy is an ally of Team Yi Zhan, and Loulan Zhan and others like to study Team Happy's formations. In Team Happy, the strongest three-person duel team is naturally Duan Yu, Tang Rou, and Ye Xiu.
Well, apart from these three people, only Fang Rui and Mo Fan are the strongest in one-on-one combat. As for Baozi, he is just a lunatic, so he is excluded. Qiao Yifan is a formation tricker and is suitable for team combat, but not in one-on-one combat. Zhang Jiale's combat ability is still good.
Yes, but he is old and his condition does not support it. Su Mucheng's one-on-one ability as a gunner is not much better than Zhang Jiale's.
However, Sun Zheping ignored one person, a nominal player who almost missed the entire tenth regular season of Team Xingxin, and that was Team Xingxin’s summoner, Mi Guang!
In response to Sun Zheping's answer, Li Yibo nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Well, what about Team Hundred Blossoms?"
"There are five from Baihua: Zhou Guangyi, Zhu Xiaoping, Zhang Wei, Zeng Xinran, and Yu Feng." Sun Zheping said after thinking for a while.
Zhou Guangyi is the assassin, Zhu Xiaoping is the summoner, Zhang Wei is the magic scholar, Zeng Xinran is the gangster, and Yu Feng is the mad swordsman. These are the five strongest singles players in Baihua Team. It is not unreasonable for Sun Zheping to predict that these five players will play.
of.
Furthermore, Baihua Team's substitute lineup is not as deep as Team Happy's, and there are not many players available to play, so Team Baihua's lineup is still easy to predict.
"Okay, thank you Da Sun for your prediction, then let's take a look at the arena match between Team Happy and Team Hundred Blossoms, and see who will be sent to play." Pan Lin said and announced the start of the game, "First is the arena match, below.
Please invite the first arena contestant from both sides to come on stage!"
Li Yibo continued Pan Lin's words and announced: "Team Happy's starting player in the arena is battle mage Tang Rou! Team Hundred Blossoms' starting player in the arena is assassin player Zhou Guangyi!"
Pan Lin cooperated and said: "Everyone is no longer unfamiliar with Tang Rou. One of this year's rookie kings and one of the best rookies, she once completed a one-on-three feat in the regular season arena. Her
The account Han Yanrou was even named the female War Goddess. She is also the second battle mage to be titled after the God of War, and the first female battle mage to be titled!"
"Yes, this is an achievement that many professional players cannot achieve in their entire careers, but player Tang Rou achieved it all in her first season." Li Yibo said with great envy.
"Haha, it seems that Director Li is also envious." Pan Lin said with a smile.
"I'm very envious, but this kind of talent is innate, there's no point in envying it!" Li Yibo shook his head and said with a bitter smile. He was a professional player who debuted in the first season. He has been in the league for three seasons, but
She has never received any honors. However, in her first season, Tang Rou has received honors that most professional players cannot obtain in their lifetime. It is hard not to make people jealous and envious.
"Yes, Tang Rou's talent is obvious to all, but the talent of other players is not bad either. Each player has his own specialties, just like Baihua Team's starting player Zhou Guangyi, his understanding of the assassin profession and assassination
He also has his own unique talent." Pan Lin said and suddenly turned to look at Li Yibo, "The account controlled by Zhou Guangyi is Ji Leng. Speaking of Ji Leng, you should be familiar with Director Li, right?"
Li Yibo nodded: "Yes, Ji Leng's account is that of an old friend of mine, Ji Leng. When he first joined Tyranny, he used the account with the same name to enter the professional league."
"It is said that in the fourth season, the reason why Team Tyranny was able to win a championship from Team Excellent Era was thanks to the outstanding performance of player Ji Leng?" Pan Lin then asked.
"Yes, in the finals of the fourth season of the Glory Professional League, in the decisive game, Ji Leng used a move to risk his life and successfully assassinated One Autumn Leaf, the strongest king of the Excellent Era team. It was precisely because of Ji Leng
With this successful attack, Team Tyranny could finally win the championship that year, ending the Excellent Era Dynasty's dream of four consecutive championships." Speaking of Tyranny winning the championship, Li Yibo showed a hint of pride on his face. Although at that time he
He has retired, but he was born as a Tyranny and died as the soul of Tyranny. Tyranny will always be his home in his career.
"Just after player Ji Leng retired, the account Ji Leng followed player Zhou Guangyi to Team Baihua, and assisted player Zhang Jiale and led Baihua Team to the finals in the seventh season. Zhou Guangyi has made a lot of contributions." Pan Lin
added.
"Yes, it's a pity that Ah Le announced his retirement in the same year. He is such a cruel guy!" Sun Zheping couldn't help but joked.
"Haha, the two players are ready, let's just watch the game." Pan Lin quickly changed the topic to the stadium. Sun Zheping could tease Zhang Jiale at will, but they couldn't.
At this time, the first two players in the arena are ready. Today is the home court of Baihua Team. The arena map Zhou Guangyi chose is the Yuanxi Corridor. This map is not a very distinctive map, but the simple terrain can also be used on land.
War and water war coexist together.
Team Hundred Blossoms actually chose such a map, obviously they have great confidence in this map.
But after the game started, Zhou Guangyi did not take advantage of Tang Rou at all, and even the assassin's most powerful life-saving blow was dodged by Tang Rou and failed to hit.
This is still a lot less meaningful than Ji Leng's first operator of the account, Ji Leng's most valuable and life-saving blow in the finals.
The first arena match between the two teams ended with Tang Rou's victory, and Tang Rou won the game with only a loss of less than half of her health. It can be seen that the strength gap between the two sides is quite obvious.
.
After player Zhou Guangyi left the stage, the second arena player from Team Baihua came onto the stage. This player was Team Baihua’s magic scholar, Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei is an extremely ordinary name, just like his career.
But in fact, Zhang Wei is already a veteran in the league. He made his debut in the third season and has been serving Baihua Team since then. He does not have any particularly outstanding talents, nor has he made any breakthrough growth in his career.
, just like this, he has been acting as a member of Hundred Blossoms Team in an ordinary way.
