Seven days later, the semi-finals of the World of Disputes.
The groupings in the semi-finals are very interesting...the White Swords of Baseball Country will face the Coke Fever of China, and the Titans of Eagle Nation will face the Nuclear Team of China.
Junlintianxia had already been eliminated in the quarterfinals, and this time in the semifinals, the hearts of the entire Chinese esports circle were hanging on.
Jiang Qiao is also paying attention to these two semi-finals. The Chinese forums are extremely uneasy, because based on the results of the past World Championships, most players do not think that Coke Mania can win the White Swords, Jumping Nuclear and Titans.
The team can actually play a dozen games.
To quote a forum guy, if both teams win, then today is the Chinese New Year in the Chinese e-sports circle, and if both teams lose, it is a funeral.
Most people are expecting Yuedong Nuclear to advance to the finals. After all, they are the number one seed in the Chinese region.
And today, all the players in China who are paying attention to the dispute match are destined to set off firecrackers to celebrate!
Because Team Coke Mania defeated Team White Sword 9:3!
Team Leap Nuclear defeated Team Titan 8:4!
Two Chinese teams meet in the World Championship finals!
Since the World of Disputes, there has never been a time when two teams from the same country have met in the finals at the same time.
The stick country didn't do it, the eagle country didn't do it, but the Chinese country has achieved this achievement today.
Not only has the entire Discord player community entered a New Year's Eve state, players in the Holy Spirit have also begun to set off fireworks to celebrate this moment that has gone down in history.
After the semi-finals ended, the Coke-crazy players and players consulted with coach Bei You and the four teams found a Chinese-owned Sichuan hotpot restaurant near California for a dinner party.
The dinner party was very lively, and it was completely impossible to tell that the two sides were still fighting to the death one second ago.
No matter how professional players are, they are still young people in their twenties. Although the atmosphere was not high after the defeat of the White Sword Team and the Titan Team, there was Lu Wei, a beautiful girl, and the enthusiastic two people of the White Sword Team and Coke at the party.
The two female contestants helped to stir up the atmosphere, and the whole party seemed less dull.
But compared with the lively atmosphere of the party, Caramel's side seemed much gloomier. He was sitting alone in the corner, biting his thumb, and checking various recent developments of the Holy Spirit in China on his mobile phone.
To be honest... Caramel performs extremely well in the game, but in reality he feels more like a gloomy otaku, the kind who is not popular with any women.
On the other hand, Juan Canyun was now surrounded by a lot of big sisters from the Eagle Kingdom and seemed at a loss. He kept calling Mo Shigui and said he wanted to change places to sit or go out for some fresh air.
Ahem... Let’s get back to the topic. Although Caramel has been busy with the disputes in the World Championship recently, he has been paying attention to the movements of the Holy Spirit.
Including the fact that the Coke Fanatic Guild united with five other guilds to build a city, but Caramel is more concerned about...the Holy Spirit Challenge and the official update of two Eternal NPCs.
The Holy Spirit Challenge is equivalent to the Holy Spirit's first official online league. It will take place in about seven days, and he still has time to rush back after finishing the finals.
Although he now has to focus on the dispute finals, he is more concerned about the fact that NPCs will participate in this challenge than participating in the challenge, and there are two Eternals in the list of participating NPCs.
The Eternal.
This is equivalent to a nightmare title for Caramel. The shadow caused by Thorne defeating him in public still lingers in Caramel's heart.
Now the Holy Spirit has welcomed two new Eternal characters, Roche the Archer and her brother Huzel the Fireblade... These two characters have lived up to their Eternal prefixes.
From the day the update came out, the arena was set up in the stronghold of Coke Mania. Just like when Thorne was first updated, players who were able to challenge him couldn't find a way to defeat him.
Could it be that these are two new Thorne-level figures?
When Caramel saw this, he felt inexplicably irritated. Originally, approaching the World Championship of Disputes was the honor he pursued in his life, and winning the World Championship was supposed to be the result he dreamed of.
But after winning against the White Swords team, a sense of empty impatience always surrounded his heart. It wasn't that the White Swords team was so weak, but that he felt that his conflicting role could no longer keep up with his movements!
This is a touch that Caramel can really feel. There is an upper limit to the role of Dispute. Caramel has reached this upper limit. No matter how much he wants to break through, there is no way.
This feeling was like the irritability of wielding a sword while wearing handcuffs. He could not swing the sword as freely as in the Holy Spirit.
Secondly, there is the existence of Eternal Thorn, which makes Caramel want to go online to challenge him all the time! This time, two new Eternals have arrived... which makes Caramel's urge to challenge even more urgent.
But Caramel still endured it. His professionalism was so high that during the World Championships, Caramel never logged into the Holy Spirit once.
He wants to win the World of Disputes championship for himself, but also for his teammates and the staff who work hard behind the scenes for Coke.
Now he must suppress his thirst for the Holy Spirit!
"caramel……"
Suddenly, a broken Chinese message sounded in Caramel's ears. When Caramel looked up, he found Bai Di from the White Sword Team sitting next to him at some point.
The player Bai Di is different from his arrogant name. In reality, he is a very shy big boy. He is also rated as a holy monk-level professional player in China like Zhao Mingwei.
What is a holy monk? That is, regardless of worldliness, money, reputation, and status are all in vain in front of these players. They only need to be able to play games and have a group of good teammates.
The difference between Bai Di and Zhao Mingwei is...Zhao Mingwei even gave up women's sex in order to play games. Bai Di has publicly stated that he has a favorite girl, who is also a female host. However, the female host recently had an affair with a great guy.
The Chinese star got married.
So every time Caramel sees this colleague, what comes to mind is 'Be strong! Can a woman give you a world championship? No!'
"What's the matter?" When Caramel was talking, Beiyou coach acted as the translator.
"He said that he got the Holy Spirit test qualification, which seems to have been given by the owner of our club, Bubu, but he doesn't know how to climb over the wall and wants you to go online to take him." After Beiyou finished translating, he said directly to Bai Di, "This is terrible.
No! The finals are about to begin. I won’t take you with me until we finish the finals."
Caramel originally wanted to respond in this way, but when he was scrolling through the Holy Spirit Rip Group out of boredom, Bubbles suddenly posted a video link, causing Caramel to stop refreshing the video.
This video is related to the Eternal Rosh. Rosh's current record is 121 wins and three defeats. The three defeats were defeated by professional players from the Temple of the Abyss, but there is no video circulating on the Internet.
The three Abyss Temple players also complained in the group afterwards, "It's too damn hard to beat!"
The title shared by Bubbles starts with a big [racing] as the prefix, and the full title is...
"[Racing] Eternal Roche Speed Pass, Two Minutes and Twenty-one Seconds" was published by: Hidexiao.
Depend on!
Caramel really wanted to curse when she saw the word "racing" in the title. She laughed and said that the ID must be Zhao Mingwei, and it is also the ID officially certified by Youtu!
This ID has more than 3 million followers, but there is not a single video below.
Zhao Mingwei suddenly posted this video, and it became as popular as Leap Nuclear and Coke Mania both advancing to the World Championship!
And the racing prefix Zhao Mingwei is equivalent to... provocation!
Racing... As the name suggests, Zhao Mingwei initiates an activity to speed through a copy of a certain game, or challenge a certain game level. If it is a stand-alone game, then it may be the entire process of the stand-alone game.
Speedrunning is more popular in China's stand-alone game circle. After all, online games may rely on stacking equipment attributes.
But it is absolutely useless to fight Luo Shi with good equipment. Caramel can confirm this. When other professional players were still worried that Luo Shi was so powerful in the past and could only barely fight at a 50-50 level, Zhao Mingwei directly released a
Speedthrough video?
This is completely an open provocation!
'Bubbles: Canshin will grow up to see the gods! Canshin.'
'Can Xin: Don't ate me! What am I doing? Isn't this a normal Xiaoye operation?'
'The Fairy in the Lake: This video posted by Mr. Xiao is a strategy video, but I really doubt that the character Luo Shi really has any back-up tactics?'
'Black Mountain Single Eye: No! Absolutely not! She is as smart as a beta dog like Thorne, but not as sophisticated as Thorne. I struggled with her for five minutes before I caught one of her big flaws and defeated her! In
I tried three times before this.'
Heishan Dumu is a first-line player in the Temple of the Abyss and an evoker.
'There will be no update today: The smiley man in our guild has started his business, taking various orders for speedrunning. Okay, just kidding, is the era of great racing about to begin?'
'Caffeine: First of all, you have to make sure that when racing, you don't get into an accident and roll over down the mountain, killing everyone.'
Because of the release of this video, the excitement in the Holy Spirit Robbing Group instantly increased, but Zhao Mingwei's racing video undoubtedly... aroused the enthusiasm of those professional players and some top players who are still in China.
The difficulty level of Roche and Huzel is not like that of Thorne, who is insurmountable at the level of beating your horse. The two of them are like professional players in excellent condition, not invincible but at the same time extremely challenging.
Caramel looked at a lot of news in the Holy Spirit Robbing Group, and now he really wanted to go online to find that Roche or Huzer for advice.
But you must endure it!
The difference between the feel of the Holy Spirit and the feel of the Struggle is too big. Once he gets used to the free fighting rhythm in the Holy Spirit, he will definitely not adapt to it when he returns to the Strife.
"Captain, the players from Jumping Nuclear said they want to go online today and have a look. Players from both our teams go online together. How about just looking at the scenery without fighting?" The other members of Coke Fanatic seemed to have learned the news.
"Then let's make an agreement first. Let's go up and see the scenery without fighting." Caramel tried to keep himself calm. If the two teams are out of shape together, it means they are in good shape!
