At 1:15 in the morning, the first game of the semi-finals, the Hell Front vs. Red Sakura game came to an end.
As a result, Hell Front won another complete victory in which no one was killed.
So far, Hell Frontline, a team composed entirely of non-professional players, has actually become the first team to officially enter the finals.
Moreover... in the process of their promotion, they have never been killed by the enemy. The only death... was caused by fighting among themselves.
Such strength has made them the favorites to win the championship.
…………
Next, there is a three-minute rest period.
This "three minutes" naturally refers to three minutes in the real world.
In the game world, the next thirty minutes are rest time.
Even in sleep mode, viewers will feel tired after watching a game for more than ten hours, so there is no need to rush to the second game.
At times like this... inserting some advertising or something is the right thing to do.
In addition, the official host of Dream Company (this round of competition is time-sharing, so there is commentary, and viewers watching the live broadcast can choose whether to accept the audio commentary) also took advantage of this time to summarize the first game.
War situation.
What they said... was generally content aimed at grassroots audiences, nothing more than the strength of the members of the two teams, on-the-spot performance, and afterthoughts such as strategic deployment.
Of course, it was impossible for them to say anything in-depth. If they were to say it in detail, they would probably reveal the information about the two teams.
After chatting like this for about fifteen minutes, the online director felt that it was almost done, and then sent a signal to the hosts.
As a result, the hosting team stopped talking about the first game and started making pre-match predictions for the second game between the Waste Chai Alliance and Jiang Hu.
Every semi-final matchup is full of highlights, and this one is no exception...
First of all, Jianghu is a well-known studio. It can be called the leader among medium-sized studios. Their reputation, reputation, individual player strength, etc. are all very good; many people in the industry believe that...if their company
If the scale is as big as Order or the Gods, then the current situation of "two powers competing" may become a "three-legged confrontation".
In this game, the performance of the Jianghu team was also remarkable. In addition to the long-famous "Sword Laughter" group, there is also the brother-sister duo Cai Bu Ai Nai and Bu Tiange; these two
position, the former has recently turned professional, while the latter has the aura of being a "former star player"... Both of them have proven through their records in S2 that they have the ability to join the first line.
Let’s look at the Waste Chai Alliance again.
Although this team does not have a studio background, their four main members are all professional players who compete in the game in their own name, and they are all recognized as top players in S1 or even earlier.
The word "alliance" well reflects the form and spirit of this team.
And their promotion path is, to some extent, very similar to Hell Front... In most cases, they are completely victorious, giving people a feeling of being at ease.
To sum up, it is really difficult to say who will win and who will lose in the confrontation between these two teams...
…………
At 1:19 in the morning, the second semifinals officially began.
The script that the two teams randomly arrived at was a place called "The Moving Maze".
This maze has ever-changing characteristics, and... the maze is filled with all kinds of powerful monsters.
In addition, there are two NPC forces from different camps operating in the maze. They are obviously important players who can influence the situation of the battle.
In terms of personnel... the lineup of the Waste Chai Alliance is unbeatable. Uncle Waste Chai, Honghu, Shadow King, and Juan Meng are also responsible for playing games, while Lao Shi is responsible for the soy sauce.
However, the formation of troops on Jianghu's side was a bit unexpected. They sent Bu Tiange, the swordsman without sword, Kuangzong Jianying, not afraid of it, to participate in the battle, but Bu Tiange ranked highest in the personal strength list (in terms of the team), and
Xiaowen Cangtian, who holds the position of "captain", became the substitute.
This situation cannot be understood by outsiders, but the higher-ups in Jianghu know it... This is the meaning of Xiaowen Cangtian himself.
As mentioned in the previous article, Jianghu is a studio founded by the three people "Daojianxiao". They are not only online players, but also real company operators.
Different from Jin Fugui's "Bing Emperor", these three don't have any rich dads to "invest". They are standard self-made people... Under this premise, they "pay people" to manage the company for themselves.
, that is obviously unrealistic.
In the early days of the establishment of the studio, there were three of them doing the work of eighteen people. From CEO to cleaner, the three of them did everything, and then they slowly got through...
Today, Jianghu's business is getting bigger and bigger. Although they no longer need to clean the house and buy lunch boxes by themselves, they have gradually realized that...the days of balancing games and operations are over.
Regardless of the gods, Shiva is also a man who combines the identities of a studio owner and a player, but his identity is the "chairman"... Except for some major decisions, most of the other daily affairs can be left to his subordinates
They do it.
But the situation in Jianghu is different. They are now at a turning point... If they want to further expand the company's scale, they have to make a decision...
So, Xiaowen Cangtian made his choice.
His plan is... to "fade out" first, and then "retreat". Then, he will put all his work focus on the company's operations, striving to make Jianghu a large first-line studio within a year. Wait until everything is over
Now that I'm on track, I'll consider whether to "come back" as a player again...
Of course, he also knows very well... In the e-sports industry, there are basically very few players who have made a successful "comeback"; especially those projects that require physical strength and instant reaction. Generally speaking... players only need to be over 20
At the age of five, the overall condition will begin to decline. At this time, if the system training is stopped for a period of time, the state of 80% will never come back.
I have also thought about it... Rather than letting fans lament that Lian Po is old and bemoan the decline of the players' form, it is better to quit when the form is still good.
In this S2 competition, Xiaowen Cangtian originally didn’t want to participate; but in order to support the newcomers and ensure that they can go further in the competition...he still took the time to participate in some preliminaries.
Now, the team has reached the semi-finals. He feels that the time has come.
Even if we win this one, there is only one game left to play, so I will not play this game at all.
Win or lose. Let Bu Ai and Xiao Bu, two rising stars, accumulate more experience in competitions. In the future... there may be more occasions for them to deal with.
…………
At 2:40 in the morning, that is, "thirteen and a half hours" after the game time, the result of the second game of the semi-finals was announced.
This game ended with the victory of the Loser Alliance.
Although it took longer than the first game, the game was not a stalemate.
Honghu's calculations have borrowed quite favorable "power" for the Waste Chai Alliance, and the reconnaissance ability of Zhaoying King's summoned creatures is also unstoppable.
Therefore, from one hour after the start of the game, they have always occupied the intelligence and strategic initiative...
The team members of Jianghu have always been in a state of exhaustion.
It stands to reason... Under this situation, if you are not careful, attrition or even annihilation will occur, but Jianghu still relies on its strong strength... to tenaciously hold on for more than ten hours.
But in the end... the loser alliance won without using all its strength.
Mysterious strength, mysterious limits, just like Hell Front... Another team with a non-studio background entered the finals.
…………
There is still a three-minute break.
Advertisers are waiting impatiently...
The hosts are also very busy. When the contestants take a break, they can't take a break (during the game, the hosts have many opportunities to take breaks. After all, not every minute has something to talk about).
Analysis and explanation are indispensable.
Although Jianghu lost, and they lost miserably, the host and the audience still spoke highly of them, and the two budding newcomers in the Jianghu team also received high praise.
The result of this game also proves that sometimes... "losing miserably" does not mean "losing ugly". There may be a gap in strength between you and your opponent, but as long as you work hard to do your best within your own capabilities, you will lose.
You can also win respect.
As for the Loser Alliance, the hosts also had a lot of praise. Under the instruction of the director, they had begun to consciously compare this team with the Hell Front that had finished the game before...
…………
At 2:44 in the morning, the third semi-final started.
Warring States vs Shanhe.
Before the game, the predictions for this game were one-sided... Even the official hosts, who were supposed to maintain an objective and neutral attitude, conveyed a message in their words that Shanhe might be in danger.
Indeed, Shanhe is also a very powerful studio. Led by Pikachu...oh no...Qiu Fengse, with Matcha Su as the vice-captain, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Shanhe 1st team is "the strongest in history".
But... after watching the last rematch, even Shanhe's analysis team believed... that the chance of defeating Sengoku was very slim.
The conclusion of the analysis of the individual strength of the Sengoku team members is very pessimistic. Put away those prejudices against foreign studios and analyze it objectively... The strength of the Sengoku team is at the level of gods and order.
Before reaching the semi-finals, although their strength had been recognized by many parties, due to various reasons... they were still underestimated.
It wasn't until Sengoku stood on the threshold of the finals that people seemed to realize belatedly... Their captain defeated the previous champion in a one-on-one battle; their journey to promotion was all about sharp swordsmanship.
Chaos, strength defeats cleverness; so far in the competition, their team members have never lost in a duel.
The reason why this team from Warring States Studio failed to rank among the top ten in the preliminaries was not because they were not strong enough, but simply because of their almost "arrogant" attitude in terms of strategy. Most of the time, they simply didn't
Regardless of taking advantage of "power", in many games... they have to win against the strength of both the enemy team members and NPCs.
But in the semi-finals, their style has changed slightly. Although it is only "slightly", they have indeed become cautious...at least they will no longer ignore the power of NPCs or rush into obvious traps.
To defeat such a Warring States period, Shanhe needs a miracle...
…………
At 2:52 in the morning, the miracle did not happen.
A game that lasted "eighty minutes" ended here.
Qiu Fengse tried his best. Only half an hour after the script started, he successfully obtained the full support of the NPC forces. Then, he used one hundred thousand volts... Oh no... I mean he mobilized one hundred thousand soldiers and horses (script
forces, armed with cold weapons) to encircle and suppress the four members of the enemy team.
As a result, he discovered that everyone in the Sengoku team...had very rich experience in "mowing the grass."
Each person can kill an average of 320 enemies per minute. Three minutes can kill a thousand people. Four people can kill 4,000 people...
At this rate, an army of 100,000 can only carry it for less than an hour and a half.
Fortunately... those 100,000 NPCs were not fools. Seven or eight minutes later, when they discovered that the loss of their troops had exceeded 10,000 and the enemy showed no signs of fatigue... they decided to run away.
Otherwise... the audience would really have to watch nearly an hour and a half of Mowing the Lawn Unparalleled...
As a result, the "power" borrowed by Shanhe was wiped out by the opponent's "power".
Seeing this situation, Matcha Su used the trump card she wanted to use in the finals, which could only be activated once. She specialized in S-class equipment and built a Gundam.
However, the four Gundams from the Warring States Period demolished the Gundam with their swords...
At this point, the game has lost its suspense.
…………
In this way, the dust of the three games has settled, and the three final teams have been decided.
The last remaining matchup will determine the final spot.
And both sides of this game...are also capable of shouldering the important task of being the finale.
Order vs Gods.
The four words "peak competition" are the best interpretation of this victory or defeat.
However... just when people's blood was boiling, Dream Company suddenly poured a basin of cold water on it.
Important notice: Players, please pay attention. Players, please pay attention... In order not to affect the normal life of players during the day, our department has consulted with members of the two teams and decided on the fourth semi-final "Gods vs. Order".
, will be postponed to zero o'clock tomorrow, and today's game ends here. (To be continued.)
