In the first round of the home game against Tiny Herb, Samsara won a small victory by one head each in the arena and team matches.
How much of an advantage is there in the first round with a two-head lead? Even for the winning round, this is a completely new question.
The few games that have been played under this format have been either one-sided crushing, or close draws.
They were only ahead by one head each in the first and second half. It's hard to tell whether this is the advantage brought by the home map selection, or whether it's their true strength or superior performance.
"Individual matches and group matches are all simplified into a five-person arena, and four maps are reduced to one map. This severely reduces the home court advantage." Lin Jingyan analyzed.
"And in this competition system, I feel that psychological quality may be more important. If the teammate in front makes a serious mistake and falls behind significantly, the people behind him will easily collapse if they cannot withstand the pressure." Fang Rui
added.
"Of course, it's also possible that if one of them hits the target smoothly and gets out of shape, he can kill anyone he sees." Qiu Fei added.
"Ha, let's hope that those who are defeated will meet those who are easy to defeat!" Fang Rui said with a smile.
Fang Rui just said it casually to liven up the atmosphere, but he didn't expect that this joke would actually become a reality the next day.
The third game of the playoffs, Excellent Era vs. Thunder.
Due to the exchange and transfer at the end of last season, these two teams, which were originally unrelated, have become closer.
During Excellent Era's away games, a group of Thunder fans would sometimes appear to cheer together with Excellent Era's expeditionary force.
Liu Hao's popularity is not comparable to that of Xiao Shiqin, but the size of Excellent Era's fans is by no means comparable to that of Thunderbolt. Not many people went to the scene to cheer Liu Hao, but on the forum, there were many who typed their keyboards to express support.
.
A win-win transfer.
Throughout the season, Excellent Era and Thunder have been in harmony, at least at the fan level. Of course, this is also related to the improved records of the two teams.
Excellent Era has returned to the top of the standings, and the Thunder have also firmly entered the playoffs. This is a gratifying improvement for the two teams that failed to enter the playoffs last year.
When the team performs well, the fans are happy and emotionally harmonious, which is as it should be.
However, this harmony came to an end on this night.
Don't say that there is a big gap in team strength, and you will be satisfied if you make it to the playoffs. Pushing the limit and hoping to achieve success is what the ordinary people think.
And even if there are only a small number of die-hard fans who expect the Thunder to win, the final result of the game will make most rational Thunder fans stand against Excellent Era.
11:4, just from the score, we can see the cruelty and despair of the Thunder game. No Thunder fan who went to the sports center to watch the game would be willing to watch the video of this game again.
Arena match.
Xiao Shiqin was defeated by Liu Hao, and Li Rui defeated Liu Hao and was defeated by Fang Xuecai. Then Sun Xiang came on the stage and defeated Fang Xuecai, Cheng Tai and Dai Yanqi in a row, and finally had a small battle with Yu Feng.
Yu Feng had hoped to recover some losses in a one-on-one battle. However, Excellent Era's next Wang Ze played very smartly, using kiting tactics, killing the mad swordsman and setting the score in the first half at 3:5.
As Fang Rui said, today's arena competitions have very high requirements for overall strength. It is difficult for a weak team to defeat a strong team, but if they just control the point difference to one head, it is still very possible to achieve it.
However, now that Excellent Era is two heads ahead, the Thunder side must be very dissatisfied. The fans are okay, after all, they don't have too high expectations, but the players can't help but have some psychological fluctuations.
It was obviously at his home court, and he knew that the opponent's conductor Xiao Shiqin was very good at finding loopholes, but Yu Feng, who was already a little impetuous, accidentally found himself in danger when he was surrounded by a bunch of mechanical creations.
At the same moment, Sun Xiang controlled One Autumn Leaf and broke into Thunder's back row with teleportation. With his own strength, he beat Dai Yanqi, He Ming and Di Lingfeng to the ground and defeated them!
At this critical moment, Liu Hao fell into the old habit of being hesitant again. At first he wanted to respond to Yu Feng, but found that Yu Feng was still able to hold on. He turned around and tried to stop Sun Xiang, but was blocked by Shen Jian again.
, Wang Ze’s two former younger brothers entangled him and couldn’t move anymore.
Sharp Wisdom Sword was besieged by Xiao Shiqin's mechanical creations and suffered a huge loss of health, but at least it managed to rush in front of the creature.
The Mechanic can be considered good in the gun department, but he is far behind compared to the red-eyed Mad Sword. The sharp and sharp sword slashed hard, smashing the stable gun mount of the Life Extinguisher.
Xiao Shiqin's one-on-one skills were not inferior to Yu Feng's, but he had to take command at the same time, and the situation gradually became unfavorable. Seeing that his health was getting a little dangerous, the Life Exterminator drew out his Gatling Gun, and while attacking his opponent, he used the recoil missile to retreat.
However, Yu Feng had already seen through Xiao Shiqin's plan, activated the awakening skill Bloodthirsty and fought hard, equipped himself with a domineering body, and was immune to the impact of the Gatling Gun. Then he used the soul-eating blood hand in his left hand to grab the life destroyer, and the heavy sword in his right hand.
It provoked a violent wave of blood and cut him down hard!
"Xiao Shiqin is in danger!"
"Yu Feng is in danger!"
The commentator Pang Bo and the guest Lin Cang actually shouted contradictory lines at the same time.
Who is in danger? The audience may still have questions, but the professional players watching can see it clearly.
Where the creature was originally standing, in addition to the flames caused by the explosion of the mechanical tracker, there was another small flame leaping there.
Life Extinguisher retreated, and the sharp sword moved forward, but it stepped on the white flame!
Holy fire!
The mad swordsman's body was completely drained of blood, and all his skills were terminated and could no longer be used.
At this time, the life-killing gun fired an armor-piercing cannon from the gunnery master.
Wang Ze, who was fighting with Liu Hao, suddenly pulled out and aimed a backhand at the back of Sharp Wisdom Sword's head with a Barrett sniper!
A combination of headshot, back attack, and defense reduction. This shot caused the mad swordsman, who still had at least one-third of his health, to fall to the ground and die miserably on the spot.
The broadcast camera specifically showed Yu Feng, who had donated his blood, and saw that his face was ashen and he was staring angrily at the screen with an unacceptable expression.
"This long-planned ambush may have a psychological impact on Yu Feng." Fang Rui commented.
"Don't gloat. Nine times out of ten, Excellent Era will qualify in the third group. If we beat Blue Rain, our opponent will be Excellent Era. Think about it, what should we do if we encounter this situation?" Lin Jingyan said.
Fang Rui immediately grimaced. If Xiao Shiqin's method could be easily broken, then he could claim to be a master tactician.
As soon as Yu Feng fell, Lei Ting was completely defeated and could not form an effective resistance at all. In the end, Fang Xuecai came on as a substitute, sneaked up and took away Shen Jian with a life-threatening blow, and took away a dispensable head.
Even with Su Mucheng gone, Excellent Era led by Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin are still terrifyingly strong!
