Chapter 915 Summary after the game, the championship bet
It’s two o’clock in the morning on November 11th.
The fourth round of the fierce battle between the four realms has ended, and the top 16 of Peak Contest S2 have been released.
After the live broadcast, the videos of each game quickly appeared on major non-neural connection system broadcast platforms.
Many viewers who have watched the live broadcast have exited the neural connection mode and immediately went to watch other games they missed. Of course... there are also those who go out to watch the games they have watched again in order to increase their sense of presence, and they keep
There are people who reveal spoilers in the barrage...
On the other hand, the game forum is also a lively scene, with players excitedly discussing the wins and losses of the games that just ended.
First of all, the Hellfront team ended the game in just ten minutes... once again refreshing their positioning in people's hearts.
In the semi-finals, they always gave people the feeling of "not giving their best", and as of the fourth round, they had not lost anyone in the game.
If the opponents they encountered were not very good, then that would be a different story. But looking at these four rounds... whether it was Corpse Sword's first or second team, or Gods' second team, including the one led by an individual professional player
The two teams...are all undisputed powerhouses.
This makes Hell Front's record of "zero deaths" extremely sharp... If calculated according to the rules of the preliminaries, as of this round, they should be ranked first among the sixteen teams.
Then, let’s look at the battle between the Ice Emperor and Order.
Now we can directly call the Order team "Order" because other teams in their studio have bid farewell to the competition.
In line with everyone's expectations, the order seems to have advanced smoothly. But... this is only based on the results.
Judging from the process, their promotion was not easy.
In fact, in the middle of the game, some people even thought that Order would lose this contest...
No one knew how the Ice Emperor found big bosses like King Dianzuo and Samodil to help, and no one thought that they could actually set up a clever game to fight Order into a three-on-one situation.
In previous games, Order has never been beaten to a gap of more than two people, let alone been beaten to only one member.
Even if they met the Corpse Sword team with full status (drug bonus) in the preliminaries, they only lost two people. And... that happened under the premise that Gui Xiao went to single-handedly farm the boss. When Gui Xiao
When Xiao returned to the battlefield, they had lost two people, one was a suicide attack, and the other was killed by a two-on-one attack; and the Corpse Knife also lost two people.
Furthermore, it was only the first game of the preliminaries, which meant that the powerful analysis team of Order at that time could not provide any detailed intelligence support. If this game took place after ten rounds... no, after five rounds...
The Corpse Sword Squadron will probably also end up with zero seals.
However, the Ice Emperor once forced the Order to the brink of defeat... To explain why the Order was able to win in the end, there were only four words: Sky-Devouring Ghost Xiao.
Without using summoned creatures, he successively defeated two unique figures second only to the Four Pillar Gods, and in the encounter shortly afterwards, he killed a trio of difficult-to-name people who were almost all at full status.
It can be said that... this game is of extraordinary significance. It not only allows people to see the dawn of defeating the team of Order, but also puts the ID "Tiantian Guixiao" on the altar again.
After the end of S1, there was a period of time when many people doubted the strength of Tiantian Guixiao. Because he was always restricted by Lute in the game, and there was nothing against the sky until the end.
The performance can even be said to be a bit miserable...
But after this battle, Gui Xiao once again planted terror in people's hearts. The shock of fighting in person is very different from the visual and psychological impact of commanding and summoning creatures to fight.
At this stage...except for a certain insidious novelist, no one thinks that their team can win when they meet Guixiao...including the team of gods.
Their psychology is really just like what Ruoyu complained: "Pray not to meet him before the finals..."
Next, let’s talk about the third game, Stars vs. Warring States.
This should be regarded as the least suspenseful one among the four focus battles.
Although most players have certain prejudices and psychological aversion to "foreign studios", and they do not know much about the Sengoku intelligence, the prediction before the game is still that the Sengoku will win.
Although Xingchen's strength is not bad, and there is an S1 champion sitting there, the other players except Xiao Ma are all new players. Obviously, the studio wants these future stars to be exposed through the competition.
If you show your face, you can "sell" it for a good price in the future.
This kind of team... has good combat capabilities, but there are two fundamental problems: first, it lacks tacit understanding and cohesion; second, except for Tianma Xingkong, everyone else lacks competition experience.
Ultimately...this is a conceptual issue.
No matter what the players and coaches think, the Xingchen management's desire for the championship is not that strong anyway. They just need to get an "okay" ranking.
And what does this ranking count as "ok"? Basically, it only needs to meet the two points of "not missing out on those competitions that require a certain ranking to be eligible to participate" and "guaranteeing exposure".
Therefore, Xingchen will put an S1 champion and three rookies in the first team lineup. The title of the first team and the halo of the championship ensure their attention, and the game itself allows them to accumulate experience and increase their exposure.
It doesn't matter if you can't win the championship, as long as the value of these players can increase through the competition.
On the other hand, the Warring States period was obviously ambitious and determined to win.
In short, these two teams...both in terms of studio concepts and desire to compete for the championship are very different. Even if the strength is close, Xingchen has a greater chance of losing, not to mention that Warring States is stronger than them.
...and his strength is unfathomable.
ps: After reading this, if you have a vague feeling that I am criticizing a certain Premier League team, or you are a fan of that team, please tell yourself that this is just an illusion...an illusion...an illusion...an illusion...
…
So finally, let’s look at the fourth game, the Red Sakura Team 1 vs. the Order Team 2.
If the mvp of Hell Front is the Blood Corpse God, Hong Ying’s mv must be Xu Huaishang.
This game was quite suspenseful. The overall level of the second team of Order was quite good. The only difference was that their ace [Barcode] was inferior to the enemy's ace [Xu Huaishang].
As a "queen"-like existence among female professional gamers, Xu Huaishang's ability is at least on the same level as Zui Sheng Meng Death, while Barcode's level is obviously half a level lower.
What's more, Yin Tianqiu... er... I mean Barcode, he was unfortunately replaced by two non-ace players of the opponent before the game entered the final stage.
In the final battle, Xu Huaishang played the role that a trump card should have. When she killed the brave warrior Wuwei with one move [Yakura. Moon Break], the brave warrior Wuwei understood... This was an explanation.
It didn’t take long for Brother Wuwei, who had been drained of physical strength by skills, to become a lamb to be slaughtered; and once he died, the second order team was left with Ye Zhi, who specializes in medical treatment, and a big snowman with a weak IQ. This
The combination is useless against [Blood Rose] alone, plus Xu Huaishang... the result is self-evident.
To sum up, in the fourth round of the rematch, some people were eliminated in despair, and some people became gods overnight.
Before the game video on the online platform has finished broadcasting, various forum masters, keyboard warriors, and professional trolls have already mobilized collectively, eager to start prediction and analysis, giving guidance, and creating public opinion...
And outside the Internet, in reality.
There is a person who is already planning something else...
…………
At three o'clock in the morning, in the suburbs of S city, at a certain intersection.
This place is located in a remote place, and it would be an exaggeration to say it is in the wilderness. Although there are a few street lights on the roadside, there are definitely no cameras or other equipment.
At this time, a thin figure wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and these sweatpants was standing in the middle of the road, mumbling something.
On the ground in front of him, there was a magic circle drawn with chalk, about two meters in diameter. In the middle of the magic circle was placed a small metal basin, which was filled with a red liquid that looked like blood, as well as many
There was a mess of unknown materials. There were also several lit red candles placed at several symmetrical points in the circle.
The man murmured at a very fast speed for a while. After a while, at a point when the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, suddenly...
A strange gust of wind blew out the candle.
Immediately afterwards, all the street lights around him began to flash at the same time, as if there was a bad circuit connection.
For a few brief moments, this entire intersection fell into complete darkness.
After a few seconds, the moonlight gradually emerged again, and the surrounding street lights returned to a stable and bright state.
And at that intersection, there was already an additional figure...
"Hehehe...you can always surprise people, Feng Bujue."
Hearing the laughter of "hehehe", you must already know who the person summoned by the magic circle is. And judging from his first line after appearing on the stage, the man was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, standing in the middle of the night.
The person who is playing magic tricks here... is Brother Jue.
"Are you surprised to be summoned by me?" Feng Bujue said with a smile on his face.
"Hehehehe..." Woody's signature obscene laughter really couldn't be changed, "It's not an accident, it's a surprise."
"Okay, whatever..." Feng Bujue didn't want to continue playing this word game with the other party, so he responded casually and continued, "I don't know how long you can stay here, let me just get to the point..." He
After a pause, "Let's...let's have a bet."
"Huh?" Woody was slightly startled when he heard this, and then showed an almost perverted smile, "Hehe...hehehehehe..."
He laughed maniacally, then pushed up the glowing white glasses on the bridge of his nose with his middle finger, and continued: "Hey... Feng Bujue, before I answer 'bet' or 'no gamble', I have a question.
..." His tone changed slightly, "Do you really think that there is a possibility of 'equal gambling' between you and me?"
"It doesn't exist." Feng Bujue's response was straightforward, "In terms of the four major factors of gambling, you have the advantage in all."
"Oh? There is actually such a theory as the 'Four Elements of Gambling'?" Woody replied, "Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Because that's what I concluded myself." Feng Bujue replied.
"Really? Hehehe... Then I'm very interested in hearing it," Woody continued.
Feng Bujue shrugged and said directly: "First, the 'technique' of completing and seeing through the thousand; second, the 'psychology' of being absolutely calm and calculating; third, the 'luck' brought about by courage and belief.
'; Fourth, the 'force' sufficient to protect oneself or collect chips after the bet breaks the limit."
"Heh heh heh... that's a good summary." Woody smiled, "Most gambling really relies on gambling. If you don't even know this and don't have the ability to see through it, it's not worth it even if you lose everything.
Sympathy; and in gambling where you can't win, you mainly have to rely on wits, demeanor, language, movements...performance and observation skills to determine the outcome; and then...gamblings that don't even use wits, such as slot machines
Like this, we have to rely on luck. This is what gamblers need most, God's favor." He paused for half a second, "And besides these decisive factors, 'force' is the final insurance. You can't win.
If you take away the benefits alive, you cannot be called a winner."
After finishing this conversation, Woody put his hands in his pockets, shook his shoulders and laughed a few times: "Hey... you know all these principles... but do you still want to bet with me?" He seemed to think that this question was still not sharp enough.
He added a second later, "I have to make it clear... I am a devil, and I am not the type who 'disdains cheating' or 'I won't default on money just to save face.'"
"Of course I understand all of this." Feng Bujue continued to smile, "So what?"
This sentence made the smile on Woody's face disappear.
"Hmph..." After a few seconds of silence, Woody snorted coldly and continued, "Feng Bujue, you really make me love and hate you..."
"Love is not necessary, I have a girlfriend." Brother Jue immediately complained, "You should hate me... Compared with 'love', 'hate' is an emotion that is easy to bear. As far as I know
...There are many people who hate me, but I can still live a good life." He tilted his head and smiled jokingly, "But if there are too many people who love me, I will be very tired."
"Hehehehe...I'm just using a metaphor. I don't have any 'emotions'." Woody continued, "Anyway...just bet..." He spread his hands, "What do you want to bet on?"
"I'm using the winner of the second stage of the 'Candidate Game'..." When Brother Jue said those five words, Woody's expression changed quite obviously, "...to bet on Li Ruoyu's love." (
