Regardless of remorse or regret, unwillingness or relief, for the players of Whistling, this summer's competition is over.
Losing to the defending champion is not a shame in the eyes of the outside world, so the club's senior management is generally satisfied with the team's performance.
Most of the Howling players also have the same attitude. They reached sixth place in the regular season and won one game in the playoffs. This result has exceeded many people's expectations. Therefore, when the team disbanded and went on vacation,
The only two outsiders who looked obviously unhappy were Fang Rui and Qiu Fei.
Qiu Fei regretted that he failed to defeat Wang Jiexi in the individual competition. Otherwise, if he had to advance to the team competition, Wuxiao would have a very high chance of going one step further.
What Fang Rui was depressed about was that he could not take over the position of captain as he wished.
Just as Ye Xiu expected, the game ended in Fang Rui's formation, causing him to lose a lot of points in front of the club's senior management. Therefore, the role of team captain for the next season still rests on Lin Jingyan's head.
The entire Wu Howl base was empty again. However, unlike the Spring Festival holiday, there were still a large number of staff staying on the floor of the online game department.
Every offseason is a critical period for character improvement. Adjustments that are usually too late to make and configurations that there is no time to try must be completed in more than a month. Therefore, in the eyes of the staff, this sultry summer is actually
It's still quite difficult.
But having said that, the vast majority of people who join the e-sports industry have a love for games. So if it is really hard, it is just hard work, not hardship.
Qiu Fei planned to hang out with Ye Xiu for a while, and then go home after the championship was decided. Before leaving, he returned Ma Tao Zefeng's account card to its original owner, Ma Juncheng, the president of the Wuthering Heights Guild.
In hand. In the large room of the guild, Qiu Fei unexpectedly discovered that Zhao Yuzhe was also here.
"I want to try Fengcheng Yanyu's fighting style. I need to defeat two world bosses." Seeing Qiu Fei, Zhao Yuzhe explained first. Zhao Yuzhe was arrogant but not tough. He was very tough on Qiu Fei, who was stronger than him.
Convinced.
Fang Rui was going to take over as captain, and Zhao Yuzhe said a lot of weird things in private. But if Lin Jingyan recommended Qiu Fei to take over, he would support it with both hands.
Qiu Fei used Chu Yunxiu's account Yunxiang Yishang when he was not famous, and he also had his own opinions on the flickering elemental mage. He told Zhao Yuzhe his experience of using it, and gained another wave of admiration.
Wuxiao's elimination is just the end of Qiu Fei and Zhao Yuzhe's individual competitions. The playoffs of other teams are still in full swing.
Yanyu made full use of the points advantage gained in the first round and used substitute players to compete in the individual and group competitions. Their highly targeted mushroom flow style of play exhausted Tyranny's main force, which was heavily fortified.
Then Yanyu used the entire main lineup to face Tyranny in the team competition. This strategy was not brilliant, but it was absolutely practical and achieved good results. Even though Tyranny had tactician Zhang Xinjie, it could not save the overall weakness of the main lineup.
In the end, this old and powerful team had no choice but to withdraw after closely following Whistling.
Yanyu's magic could not continue. According to the schedule, their opponent in the next round was Blue Rain, who was in full swing. They were already inferior in strength, and they were short of three days of adjustments and preparations. Yanyu lost in a mediocre and natural way. Although because of the loss at home,
The reason is that the score has not been drawn, but everyone can see that it is basically impossible for Yanyu to advance to the finals.
Two days later, another semi-final started. Facing Tiny Herb, which had beaten them badly in the regular season, Samsara showed extraordinary fighting power. Like Blue Rain, they made a fuss at their opponent's home court, and finally relied on Zhou Zekai
With a strong performance, they won the team competition and returned to the home court with a 6:3.5 advantage to compete again.
It is worth mentioning that in this game, Tiny Herb captain Wang Jiexi did not play for a minute. He sat quietly in the audience, watching the individual competitions lose one after another, watching the team competitions being defeated, and always remained calm and unfazed.
move.
Tiny Herb's game was not without its highlights. Liu Xiaobie defeated Samsara's deputy Jiang Botao in the individual competition, and Li Ji and Gao Yingjie defeated Zhou Zekai in the group competition. They played very exciting games in the one-on-one matches. However,
This further highlights Wang Jiexi’s importance to Tiny Herb.
Gao Yingjie, who is known as a genius, is no longer far behind the top players in terms of pure technology. But in more complex team competitions, his overall view, command ability, and tactical awareness are still very lacking.
What's more serious is that even though the whole team is playing around him, he still has no awareness of being the core. The final loss of the game was because he was unable to advance or retreat at the critical moment.
Seeing Gao Yingjie's performance, Qiu Fei also felt sad. His operating level was better than Gao Yingjie's, but his flaws were no less than his. If he wanted to become the backbone of Wuxi, Qiu Fei knew that he had to continue working hard.
The semi-finals are held over two days. They are not as intensive as the previous quarter-finals, but the excitement is also on a higher level.
The two teams that lost the first game launched the craziest counterattacks in the second game.
Chu Yunxiu played an exciting group match in the away game. Because Li Hua, Sun Liang and Bai Qi all went to compete for points in the individual competition, when Chu Yunxiu, the general defending general, came on the stage, Blue Rain's first team was defeated.
There is still a trace of residual blood left in Feng.
Chu Yunxiu did not give up. She defeated Yu Feng, defeated Zheng Xuan, and finally even Huang Shaotian, one of the Five Saints, was killed by her overwhelming bombardment.
One versus three, Chu Yunxiu defeated the regular season champion!
Unfortunately, Yanyu's madness ends here.
In the team competition, under the support and command of Yu Wenzhou, Yu Feng pressed Li Hua and Sun Liang head-on, Huang Shaotian went behind to cover Xu Ru and Feng Xiangming, and the three All-Stars teamed up to tear Mist and Rain's formation into pieces.
Yanyu once again failed to resist at a critical moment and lost the game.
In the second game between Samsara and Tiny Herb, the winner was determined after the team match. However, in this game, the defending champion lost without temper.
In the individual competition, Li Yihui, Deng Fusheng and Liu Xiaobie all failed. It was only due to the performance of the two magicians in the ring that the competition was dragged into the team competition.
However, in the team competition, even if Wang Jiexi took action personally, he could not restrain Zhou Zekai. In addition, Jiang Botao, Lu Boyuan, and Wu Qi all broke out, causing Tiny Herb to collapse in this battle and stop in the top four.
The finals started between Blue Rain and Samsara.
Playing the home game first, they gave Blue Rain a head start. They won an individual game at home, and then won the group game and team game, leading with a huge advantage of 7.5 to 2.
The skill book Ye Xiu sold to Samsara played a very crucial role.
Lan Yu was aware of Samsara's advantage in skill points before the game. However, until the second game of the finals, they still could not solve this problem.
The three full-point characters of A Shot Through the Clouds, No Waves, Cloud Mountain Chaos, and Samsara defeated each other in straight sets in the individual competition. It only took less than half an hour to bring the second round of the finals to an end.
