Zhang Shengze patted Gao Ran on the shoulder, pretending to regret, with a look of gloating on his face.
But he also knows that there is still a good chance of qualifying with his high-burning strength.
On the contrary, it was his own group, Zest, Trap, plus his own three protoss players.
Plus a European and American player.
Originally, his protoss civil war was not strong, but now he can only compete with the other three players. There is still a chance.
Gao Ran didn't care how dead his group was.
Again, no matter who I play, I am confident that I can win the game.
Dark and Parting are both familiar with Gao Ran. As a European and American player, Clem has never played against Gao Ran, but Gao Ran has also watched his games.
Know what his style is roughly like.
This European and American human player is not as explosive as Time in frontal operations, but his operations are top-notch.
The troops and small operations are very strong, and there is basically no money or population left.
He also likes to suppress attacks very much, and he can play well if he gets into his own rhythm.
However, it will be more difficult to fight against a strong defensive opponent. He is a player with extremely personal characteristics and is at his peak age.
Ranked 7th in the world, he is not an easy opponent.
…
As for the preparation before the game, Gao Ran was already very well prepared during the rest of the month before.
Moreover, Gao Ran does not have to play on the first day of the group stage tomorrow. The other two Chinese players will play. Time is in Group C and Ozawa is in Group D.
Gao Ran still has one day to adjust and prepare.
But for Gao Ran, he can't wait to play the game now. After watching the game for two days, he still wants to watch it for another day.
When it comes to such a big competition, no one is willing to practice with you before the game. After Gao Ran woke up the next day, he sat in the hotel and silently watched the first day of the game.
The battle has been very fierce since the beginning of Group A, and the gap between many players in StarCraft is not as big as imagined.
Some players ranked twenty or thirty in the world have a chance to beat the top players in the world.
Time has finally come out in the Group C competition. The players in his group are clearly strong and weak. The strongest player is undoubtedly the human player Satan, who is currently ranked second in the world.
Then the weakest one is Harstem, Time and r are almost competing for one spot.
Although the player Satan is not ranked first in the world, in the hearts of fans, he has always been the strongest player in the world.
The champion of last year's World Finals defeated the current world number one Zerg player Flime 4-1 in the final.
Why is it ranked second in the world rankings? Because Satan will not participate in all competitions.
In the last ESL tournament, such an important competition, Satan did not choose to participate but went on vacation...
I just returned to training in the past two months and directly won a championship in Europe and the United States.
The first game between Time and r has also become a key battle for whether Time can qualify. The Chinese audience clasped their toes to watch the game.
Unfortunately, after three hard games, Time lost the game with a score of 1-2.
In the second round, they lost to Satan 0-2 without any suspense.
As a result, Time had only a theoretical possibility of advancement. After defeating the last opponent 2-1 in the final round, Time also ended all his games in the group stage.
Next, as long as r wins Harstem, r will be able to advance smoothly.
Although it entered the theoretical promotion stage that Chinese audiences are best at, it is a pity that r did not make any mistakes and successfully defeated the opponent 2-0.
Advance to the top 16 with 2 wins and 1 loss.
Satan also advanced to the top 16 with a complete victory record without any suspense. The opponents in this group did not put much pressure on him.
Time died and everyone was still sad, Ozawa gave the Chinese audience a surprise!
In the Group D match, Ozawa was in great form and defeated his key opponent Trap!
In the end, we took advantage of the small points and successfully advanced to the top 16 with second place in the group!
The Chinese audience was happy for Ozawa, but also felt a little pity.
Because Ozawa’s opponent in the top 16 is, it’s really a bit difficult to beat.
But being able to reach the top 16 again is a good achievement.
…
The first day was mixed. Ozawa's Group D was a little better than Time's, but it was Time's fault that he didn't seize the opportunity.
If he can win R in one go in the second set, he can advance smoothly.
The level of the group stage is much higher than that of the auditions, and the attention on the second day of the game is higher than that of the first day.
The much-anticipated Group F match will start at approximately 1 pm local time.
Gao Ran's first battle was Parting, the second battle was Dark, and finally he faced Clem.
Gao Ran also came to the scene during the game. This was also the first time for many Korean professional players to see Gao Ran offline.
Even Cure, who practiced with Gao Ran, saw Gao Ran for the first time.
Gao Ran was very recognizable in his Dream uniform, and several familiar Korean players also came up to say hello to Gao Ran.
Including Parting.
Although the two of them would fight fiercely later, they still greeted each other in a friendly manner.
Gao Ran sat in the corner as usual.
There were also many professional players sitting in the second hall, all practicing vigorously.
After the high-burning warm-up, I entered the host machine according to the prescribed time.
The first group match with Parting officially begins.
…
"The exciting game has finally begun, the first game is Parting."
"This should be the most stable game for high-burning players."
Brother Sun also analyzed that Gao Ran’s advantage in fighting the Gods is quite obvious, and Gao Ran himself is also good at fighting the Gods.
However, there is no doubt about Parting's operational ability, and he has always been known for his operational ability.
"Gao Ran randomly arrived at the human race."
"Looking at the opening of both sides, Parting chose the farmer to explore the road, which is very stable."
"Well, high-burning is on normally."
At the beginning of the first set, Gao Ran put down his barracks normally and did not choose any underhanded tactics.
When Parting came over and saw that Gao Ran was a human race, he was slightly relieved. From his point of view, he was afraid that seeing Gao Ran be a Zerg or a Protoss would affect him in the beginning.
The human race is much better.
Parting determined that after Gao Ran's start, the farmers left Gao Ran's family after a wave of disturbance.
Gao Ran also took advantage of the situation and put down his second base.
"Both sides are fighting normally."
"Parting is still VC technology, its signature flash pursuit."
"This should be a normal fight."
"Eh?"
Brother Huang had just finished a mouthful of milk, and Parting asked the farmer to put down a crystal outside!
"Is this a tactical move?"
"Maybe we need to have a fight and see how Parting chooses."
All the spectators were watching the game attentively. Gao Ran chose an airdrop train to start.
And Parting had already clicked on a barracks in a small corner of the wild just over 3 minutes ago.
"Hidden sword."
“Parting this dogecoin.”
"How can it be possible to find this Gao Ran?"
Brother Huang looked at this tricky position and frowned.
