The high-energy ESL China qualifiers went very smoothly.
The next day, 4 players from the winner group and 2 players from the loser group fought on the last day in front of tens of thousands of people!
Both Gao Ran and Time successfully defeated their respective opponents and advanced to the winner's group finals.
Both the upper bracket finals and the lower bracket finals are Bo5 format.
Gao Ran and Time met again on the court after 2 years.
All Time thinks about is fighting against opponents.
In private training, Gao Ran and Time should be practiced the most.
Among the three high-burning races, if the high-burning race is the Zerg, the winning rate of Time is a little bit noticeable, about 20-30%.
Gao Ran uses the other two races, Gods and Humans, and Time is hard to win.
On the one hand, this is because Time’s TvZ is relatively strong, and on the other hand, it is also because the Protoss and Humans are more maneuverable and have a higher upper limit.
The multi-lanes of the high-burning human race and the front-facing operations of the protoss are all a headache for Time.
Gao Ran is the only Protoss player he has ever seen who can perfectly operate multiple AOEs in the late Protoss stage. Maybe not even Gray has this level of operation.
Lightning, self-destructing ball, colossus...
As long as there is direct contact, the explosive power brought by this operation is really too strong.
However, from a racial perspective, when playing against random players, the human race should be the race with the least disadvantage.
…
After the first set of the winner's bracket final started, Gao Ran immediately entered the game state.
In the first game, the Protoss' Blink Stalker used OB's vision to directly jump out of Time's tank!
While Flicker Hunting has turned Time's family upside down, the family's operational rhythm has not been interrupted. A wave of harassment has directly created a huge advantage.
Time chose the All-In wave due to its economic disadvantage, but its high-burning technology jumped quickly and its troops were not cut off, so it defended the wave perfectly.
Time directly plays GG.
In the second game of the human civil war, Gao Ran went directly to the barracks?
Time mines in a single barracks and wants to mine secretly.
Gao Ran was stronger than him, so he took a gamble in the early stage to see if he could steal some advantages.
Time was a little speechless when he saw four high-burning reapers entering his house. After resisting to no avail, he decisively knocked out GG.
The speed of light is free, 0 to 2.
From the beginning of the game to the beginning of the third set, less than 20 minutes were spent.
In the third game of Time, after detecting that the opponent was a Zerg, he decided to fight against the high-burning Zerg. TvZ still had a good chance of winning.
But he never expected that Gao Ran would use such an elegant tactic.
Airdrop ground thorn...
When Time saw Gao Ran throw a wave of ground stabs at his dispatch point, everyone was dumbfounded.
While suffering at home, the high-burning second mine was also being penetrated by dogs.
Although Time returned to defense quickly, it was too difficult for the human troops to clear this wave of ground spikes when the ground spikes were buried.
After spending a huge price to clear this wave of ground thorns, Time also knocked out GG after thinking about it, and did not continue to waste it with Gao Ran.
It's just a matter of time before we lose the game at this rate.
"3 to 0."
“Congratulations to Gao Ran!”
"The strength is indeed one level higher than Time, it's hard to say."
"In the last game, Time really didn't expect that the opponent's tactics would be so awesome..."
"A little bit suppressed."
Brother Huang and Brother Sun also felt a little pity for Time.
From their point of view, they felt that Time did not display its own strength. It was suppressed by high-energy offense in three sets and failed to show its own characteristics. It is a pity.
"In this way, Gao Ran also advanced to the ESL main game with a complete victory record!"
"In fact, everyone had expected this result."
"After all, Gao Ran's strength lies there."
Brother Huang and Brother Sun were not surprised that Gao Ran was promoted, but to be honest, the road to promotion was too smooth, and even Time did not put pressure on Gao Ran.
Time actually prepared tactics against the high-burning Protoss, but they were of no use during the game.
He felt that using it would only expose his tactics, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to make a comeback, so he might as well keep the tactics and compete for another spot.
Gao Ran's strength has been obvious to all in the league, and he is still very stable when playing against the national team.
Gao Ran was relieved after successfully getting his place in the qualifiers.
No matter what kind of competition it is, there is always the possibility of overturning. Once he overturns, too many people will laugh at him.
Gao Ran is not planning to participate in any competitions during this time. He will just make more training matches with top Korean professional players and then prepare for the next ESL.
The high-octane game is over, but Fox's game is not yet over.
He faced Rocket who fell from above in the penultimate round of the loser's bracket.
PvP, civil war among the gods.
Although his ladder points are not as high as Rocket's and his strength is slightly lower, in the eyes of professional commentators, the Protoss Civil War is just a guessing game.
The choice of opening can determine the advantages and disadvantages of both parties.
Fox also came up and won the first set.
Unfortunately, Rocket adjusted in time to let one chase two, defeating Fox, and Fox also stopped in the top six.
This result is also a relatively satisfactory result for Fox himself.
Unlike Gao Ran, he and Jq have many games to play next, including the National E-Sports Competition, Kung Fu Cup, etc.
They need to use a lot of games to improve their strength and accumulate game experience.
As expected, the second spot in the ESL China qualifiers was still decided between Time and Rocket.
In the Bo5 finals of the lower bracket, it can be seen that Time's condition today is relatively average, while Rocket is getting more and more fierce as they fight.
The two sides fought hard for 5 games, which surprised all the viewers.
Time actually lost.
2 to 3.
Time lost to Ozawa in the lower bracket finals.
Everyone has not seen this scene for an unknown amount of time. Since 2 years ago, domestic quotas have always been available, and there is basically no pressure.
Who would have thought that Time would not qualify for this ESL China qualifier.
But that's the way the game is, it's over when it's over.
Time instantly fell into isolation.
For him, this ESL will definitely involve auditions.
There are only 24 places for direct promotion, and there must be many players who are not weaker than Time in the auditions. It will be difficult to make it through.
…
The ESL China Qualifiers are not considered a big competition, and the attention is relatively average.
The next national e-sports competition will be different, it can be regarded as a formal official event.
However, no one saw Gao Ran in the audition list.
This makes many fans a little uncomfortable, whether they are new fans or old fans.
In the past, Gao Ran competed constantly, and you could always see Gao Ran's performance on the court. However, looking at Gao Ran's participation now, he does not participate in many competitions.
Includes weekly Kung Fu Cup hosted by Scboy.
Brother Huang and Brother Sun invited Gao Ran, but Gao Ran refused.
There are not many high-level players in this competition, so it doesn't mean much to him.
