Eating chicken starts with one step

From the auditions of the official invitational tournament to the national finals, Tao Zhiyao and Ling Huan, the pair of partners, conquered the audience with their strength, and also conquered the officials with their popularity. Therefore, this important trip to Germany is also Let them carry the flag.

However, this may not be a good job. It is generally believed that the performance of the Chinese team in this World Championship should not be expected too high, and when it comes to the stage of the World Championship, it is unlikely that the commentator will have no position at all. If the Chinese team If you don't play well, it will also be a challenge for the commentary.

"I've been looking forward to the World Championships for more than a month. I believe that everyone is in the same mood as us at the moment, and they are quite impatient," Tao Zhiyao said after a regular opening speech like the host, "However, here Before that, we would like to introduce to you the rules of the World Finals of the Official Invitational Tournament."

As he said that, the screen switched from the commentary seat to the screen, and the official listed a clear and clear form, including the schedule, points rules, poison circle mechanism, etc. Although these information had already been published on the official website, many viewers Either you don't know, or you don't bother to read it, so before the game starts, it is necessary to popularize it again, so that everyone will not be confused.

The competition schedule lasted from November 11 to 21 for a period of 25 days, with 5 matches per day, totaling 4 matches.Points rules Chinese audiences are very clear. The China qualifiers have always used the points rules drawn up by the World Championship. Ranking points and kill points are equally important. Chicken eating 20 points, No.500 points, and the further the difference is The smaller, the kill is divided into 2365 points per head.As for the mechanism of the poisonous circle, it is something that players have to watch. Ordinary viewers are not very interested, and they can't remember it well.

"One thing that needs to be mentioned in this World Finals is that," Tao Zhiyao said again, "the game will use two types of maps—desert and island, that is, the desert map is added, and each map will compete 10 times. The first game uses a desert map, and the last two games use an island map."

"I remember that when the desert map was first launched, it was complained by many players, but now it frequently appears in major competitions. The introduction of the desert map in the world finals this time seems to have been widely recognized by both professional players and ordinary players. , Master Tao, what do you think?" Linghuan asked.

"Many people think that the desert map is not easy to play, but I personally think that the desert map is better than the island map. Generally speaking, the island map is more dependent on luck than the desert map. At first glance, everyone thinks that the desert map is easy to play. No more, especially suitable for shooting targets. In fact, the island map is generally flat, with many wheat fields, mountains and other places. If there are no trees and haystacks, it is really a flat river. There are no bunkers, and there are many other advantages. The obvious point, like what we often say about thousands of horses and horses, has caused the quality of the island map to determine the outcome to a large extent, and it is difficult to overthrow the circle of scourge, basically just watching the circle to eat." Tao Zhiyao seriously analyzed, "Desert maps are different. If you have played a lot, you will know that the terrain of desert maps is very rugged, and you can find pits or small slopes everywhere, that is, there are bunkers everywhere. Target shooting is very good for high-level players, and the scourge circle is not so uncomfortable. Moreover, the desert map is rich in resources, and the distribution is relatively even. The jungler can also make a fortune, which reduces the gap in the development period of each team. , so I think the desert map is very suitable for professional games.”

"Well," Ling Huan nodded, "The addition of the desert map should also have a certain impact on the tactics and play styles of each team. For example, it will be a big challenge for everyone's driving skills. Another very important point, It is the choice of jumping points. Only a small part of the qualifiers used the desert map. Many competitions, including China and Europe, used the island map throughout the whole process. As a result, more than half of the teams’ jumping points on the desert map will be unpredictable. Then today’s first two games It is estimated that there will be different fireworks in the desert map competition.”

"That's right, this is one of the biggest highlights of the first day of the competition, it depends on the fate of these teams," Tao Zhiyao said, and the voice paused, "Okay, the players have finished their preparations, the first A game is about to start, let us enter the game screen—"

The plane flew slowly along the straight route, sounding the first horn of war.

After 35 minutes, the first game ended. Amidst the congratulations from the commentator and the applause from the audience, the FF team had 16 kills.

After the FF team ate chicken, the camera immediately cut to their equipment seats, but the four of them took off their helmets one by one, sat up, and stretched out boredly, without high fives, fists, or expressions of excitement. They exchanged a few words with each other casually, even when they laughed, they had that indifferent expression, as if they were not playing the World Championship at all, but an insignificant training match.

Eating chicken without passion... The commentator didn't know how to describe it. Tao Zhiyao could only describe it as "experienced in many battles, and calm when changing", so there is nothing wrong with it.

The captain of the FF team came to the stage to be interviewed. His attitude represented the attitude of the FF team-"no special surprise".They came here for the championship this time around.

Not only to win the championship, but also with a crushing attitude.Silan didn't say this explicitly, but it was undoubtedly his subtext.

"The FF team is really in the limelight. It feels very hot. It can be seen that the state is very good and the confidence is also full. This game can be said to be impeccable. The gods block and kill the gods, the gods block and kill the Buddha, 16 A kill is really high in a world-class competition." Ling Huan said.

"The North American qualifiers are the same as the World Championship. They are also based on a two-map system. In terms of familiarity with the map, the FF team is indeed a lot ahead. In addition to their outstanding personal abilities as always, there is nothing to say. Their strength is overwhelming." Tao Zhiyaoyao said.

"The performance of the two Chinese teams is not particularly ideal. I hope they can quickly get through the adaptation stage and cheer up!" Linghuan said.

At 10:20 that night, all 4 games on the first day came to an end.

The FF team took the top spot with 2 chickens, followed by the Phoenix team, ranked second, the Snow Mountain team ranked third, and the Zero team ranked fourth. The second, third and fourth places were monopolized by all European teams, which is very intriguing. Then No.5 is the Korean BGM team, No.6 is Years, No.7...

Everyone doesn't care about these, the Chinese audience just want to see my name and Killer's ranking points.

Killer may not even be regarded as quite satisfactory, ranking No.13, and did not squeeze in the first half. To be honest, this gap is a bit difficult for Killer fans to accept.

But after comparing my name, they realized that they had already calculated it.

My name fans really want to cry but have no tears.

The total points of my team in the first four games ranked No.18.

It's not an illusion, my name is No.18, there are only [-] teams in total, and they are almost at the bottom.

Although before the start of the game, the domestic audience has been more or less vaccinated. Many people said that if the two Chinese teams did not play well, please be merciful when everyone complains. After all, the domestic level and the European and American levels are different. The gap is well known. Everyone assumes that the European and American teams will dominate the shooting game field for a while. It is unrealistic to expect domestic teams to beat them in the first World Championship.However, as soon as the results of the first day came out, people found that vaccinations could not calm them down.

This is no longer a question of Europe and the United States. European and American teams occupy up to six places. A ranking like Killer can barely be explained as still in the adaptation period. My name is that this is not even comparable to teams in other corners of the competition!This is the strength of a national champion?No, they don't admit it, how can they admit it, let's not talk about Killer first, even teams such as BS and TQS who didn't make it out have achieved top five results in international competitions. How can they accept the fact that the Chinese team is at the bottom? !

All of a sudden, the crowd in the barrage was furious, and there was no such thing as a good word of mercy, all kinds of ridicule and even insults burst out densely at my name, some ridiculed them as the bottom of the national champion, some questioned how this champion Those who were selected, some were purely angry at their shit-like performance today, and some accused them of not playing training games or games for too long, which resulted in their poor state...

Public opinion quickly spread from the live broadcast room to all major platforms and forums. Perhaps Killer should thank my name. Against the background of my name, almost no one paid attention to Killer's mediocre ranking. The focus of the first day's battle report focused on my name being at the bottom. The core point is that my name’s various mistakes in these four games were magnified infinitely under the microscope, and a group of professionals popped up overnight to analyze them thoroughly, point out the reasons for their failures one after another, and say that they After winning the championship, he was too complacent and neglected to prepare for the battle. Although Killer's ranking is low, everyone can see his hard work. He played as much as he could in the training match and participated in several matches at the same time. His sincerity was at least shown , My name has been silent for more than a month... How can people not think wildly?

All in all, without grades, everything is wrong.

The higher you stand, the more painful you fall. This has always been the case throughout the ages.

Shura couldn't avoid talking about this. As soon as the total points ranking came out, he posted a Weibo. The content was tactful and simple. I hope everyone will have more confidence in my name and cheer for them. He also added a photo It is a picture of the four of them walking and discussing with each other wholeheartedly on the way after leaving the field. There is no smile on their faces, but they don't see much frustration. They don't pay attention to the people and things around them. There are only a few teammates, and only the issues they are discussing are considered.To Shura's relief, although there were some fierce remarks on Weibo, soon my fans stood up to speak for them, encouraged them persistently, and some people begged them not to waste their time in a joking tone. Yes, get serious now.

Shura walked at the end of the line, following a few people while checking Weibo, and Chongchong followed him to prevent him from bumping into the electric pole.After swiping for about 10 minutes, Shura turned off the phone screen, raised his head, and looked at the four familiar figures in front of him. Their actions were still so high-spirited, and the big team logo on the team uniform was so eye-catching. Below the logo, is Four flamboyant words - "The BestorNothing".

"Don't worry." Chong Chong said softly.

"En." Shura responded.

He is not worried.No one knows what my name has been doing for more than a month, but Shura and Chongchong know. Gobbled it up at mealtimes, and at night was so anxious that they could not sleep because their minds were filled with the content of the game... Wu Jiu and Qian Li's only day off was Wu Jiu's birthday on November 11th, and they hadn't missed the morning training.After Wujiu and Qianli went out, Sirius and Grizzly, who were not supervised, were still practicing consciously. Grizzly knew that he was a newcomer, and he didn't dare to be lazy in the slightest. It has become commonplace.

But what are these? This is their "normal" life as professional players. Those ten years of achievements are not worth talking about. What people want to watch is only one minute on stage, otherwise, everything will be meaningless.

As they said in a Weibo they posted a long time ago——

We will go step by step until the end.

If we fail to fulfill our original commitment, please feel free to scold, we will never argue.

If we make it, look no further, this is the king of the world.

So, today, they will not argue.

However, tomorrow, they will not give up.

It’s already past 11 o’clock when we got back to the hotel, “Go back to wash up and sleep,” Qianli said, “As usual, we’ll gather at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning for the replay.”

The six people were divided into three teams, and each went back to the room to rest. The next morning, they didn't even go to the restaurant, and each of them came to Wu Jiu and Qianli's room together with a sandwich in their mouth. Wu Jiu turned on the laptop, and the meeting began.

"Sirius," Qianli asked by name when he came up, "how did Tuosi sleep last night?"

"Ah?" Sirius was confused, what the hell?

Sirius turned to look at Grizzly, and Grizzly also looked at him blankly, Sirius tentatively said, "Is it okay?"

"Tudousi, how is Sirius sleeping?" Qianli asked again.

"...pretty good," said Grizzly.

"It's a lot of pressure." Qianli said.

Grizzly's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood the real intention of Qianli's two questions.

Sirius slept quite well, not because he felt at ease about this record, but because he was too tired, so he didn't know about Grizzly's situation, but Grizzly could blurt out Sirius' sleeping condition, which meant that he had a big night Waking up part of the time.

A lot of pressure.

Big enough to overwhelm the onslaught of exhaustion.

During the national competition, he also felt that the opponents were very strong, but there were still a few top-notch masters, such as the rare star players like Seven and Vida, and he also had the monster Sirius as his backing. But he felt he was on a stronger team.

Arriving at the World Championships...

Stepped into another brand new world without warning.

In this world, compared with the national competition, the strength of all opponents has a large gap visible to the naked eye, and mediocrity has become a rare existence. Even if it has not reached the level of Sirius per capita, it is almost every team and player. They all have their own shining points and are worthy of praise. The Grizzlies have to admit frankly in their hearts that he has no certainty of winning against any of these 76 opponents.

"It's normal." Without Grizzly's explanation, Qianli guessed his mood. This is what they all experienced in the rookie stage. "These 20 teams are all the kings of each division, and each division has a maximum of 3 places. They all went from hundreds of teams all the way to the end, there are no weak teams in the World Championship, understand."

Grizzly swallowed, feeling his throat was a bit dry, and he felt a sense of panic in his heart, which lingered from last night until now, making him very uncomfortable.

There are no weak teams in the World Championship.This sentence was said by Qianli a month ago.That's right, everyone has worked so hard to qualify to get here, and no one would be willing to be someone else's foil on this top stage.

"Grizzly," Wu Jiu had noticed Grizzly's face a long time ago, and said warmly, "Go and take a good nap later."

"Well," Qianli nodded and said, "Raise your energy, adjust your state, and do it if you can't do it. I'm not kidding. We don't have time."

"...Okay." Grizzly secretly clenched his fists.

Qianli expected that the start of their World Championship would not be smooth, but No. 18 still surprised him a bit.A professional team that has been in operation for four years, Qianli is no longer the hot-headed guy he was back then. With his passion, he can turn the corner and turn defeat into victory with a burst of enthusiasm at a critical moment. Lies, the truth is much more complicated than this. It cannot be denied that the first day of the game exposed many problems of the Wuming team, and these problems came with the establishment of the Wuming lineup. The scarcity, the bottleneck period that newcomers face all the time, the unfamiliarity with the game rhythm of the desert map, etc., make it impossible for them to be able to do well in the game on the first day like those old strong teams in Europe and America.

They are not perfect, it doesn't matter, he also said that no team is perfect, the key lies in skillfully exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

"In the four games yesterday, we can basically figure out the routines of these teams," Qianli said, "FF has not changed much from before, and its tactics are still very bold. It mainly relies on the personal ability of the players to open up the situation. When we mentioned the FF team , I always think of how they eat chickens in the circle of God, how they change their fate against the sky, and successfully fight back under various impossible circumstances. Recently, I have almost gone through all their games in the past six months. These so-called The highlighted operation is actually exactly what they should reflect on.”

"Why?" Sirius blurted out.He thinks it's cool to eat chicken in the circle of scourge and change one's life against the sky!Didn't they do that too?

Qianli looked at him, "It's because they don't know how to choose points, and the timing of entering the circle is not right, so they always fall into such a passive situation. If they want to win, of course they have to change their fate against the sky. Killing makes sense."

"Oh..." Shura suddenly realized, "It means that many of their battles were unnecessary?"

"Yes," Wu Jiu also interjected, "The biggest advantage of the FF team is that they are very thoughtful and adventurous. They are very confident in their abilities, extremely decisive in attacking, and the battle rhythm is fast. Combined with the analysis of thousands of miles, they always It is not surprising that he played an unreasonably high number of kills in the game."

"Team Phoenix is ​​a completely different type," Qianli continued, "Team Phoenix is ​​also very capable individually, but their tactics are stronger, and their command is quite powerful."

"Yesterday..." Shura frowned, "Have we bumped into them several times?"

"You actually remember." Qianli said.

"...Don't doubt my love for you!" Shura was a little annoyed.

Qianli didn't bother to talk to him, "The Phoenix team is the one that has studied the map the most among all our opponents. They know the terrain like the back of their hands. The time to enter the circle is usually very early. They occupy less space, prefer terrains such as pits and reverse slopes, and use vehicles as shelters. That is to say, they have relatively high requirements for vision and information collection, and their teamwork is smooth. They rarely monitor There will be blind spots."

"Also," Wu Jiu said, "Team Phoenix likes to choose secondary advantage points, it should be avoiding battles to the maximum extent."

Qianli met Shang Wujiu's eyes, and the two knew each other.

That's why they collided - Fenghuang's commander and Qianli thought of going together.

"Secondary advantage point?" Shura asked doubtfully.

"It is when they find a point with the greatest advantage in the safety zone, they will not go straight to that point, but will choose the second most advantageous point, so that there will be fewer competitors and they will not be too attractive Pay attention to improve the safety factor." Wugui explained.

"Um, they have such strong personal abilities, do they have to be so cautious?" Shura asked.

"This is the way to survive." Qianli sighed, "Today we have to avoid them."

At 6:[-] p.m., the live broadcast started on time, officially entering the second match day of the World Finals.

At 25 minutes into the first game, 3 members of my name team had died, and there were still 17 teams on the field at this time, all kinds of cynicism on the bullet screen were commotion, just wait to see when my name Be eliminated.
