The Strongest God

During the holiday this week after the end of the first round of the regular season, except for the exposure of the brotherhood between Liu Chuan and Yang Jian, which caused everyone to laugh and discuss for several days after dinner, at other times, the professional players were almost nervous. spent in training.

The order of the home and away games will be changed in the second round of the round robin. For example, in the first round, the Longyin team played Shengtang away in Chengdu, then in the second round they will play against Shengtang at home in Changsha. The change of home and away means the change of the selection rights And large-scale changes in scores and rankings.

The competition schedule is still quite tight, the team leader Jiang Xue has already booked all the air tickets and hotels in advance according to the schedule, in the next one and a half months, the Dragon Yin team will fight against the other 17 teams in turn, and their footprints will be all over the country. .

A week later, the vacation was finally over, and the regular season of Season [-] started again.

The first opponent of the Dragon Yin team in the second stage was the Canglan team that just defeated with a score of 7:2 some time ago. The cat god Li Cangyu led all the members of the Canglan team to Changsha. Ready to fight.

Everyone couldn't help but guess: Who will be the commander of Long Yin this time?Or was it led by Si Lan or Chuan Shen himself as last time?

It wasn't until the day the game started that the answer was finally revealed—it was the Silan Commander again!

The lineup of the Dragon Yin team has not changed compared with the previous round. In the group arena, Wu Zewen, Lin Tong, and Xu Ce will play, and the team battle stage will still be Qin Ye, Li Xiang, Wu Zewen, Lan Weiran, Jiang Shaoqing, and Yu Yu. For Xiang Yang's combination, the captain Liu Chuan sat in the audience watching the play with a calm expression.

Fortunately, this game was not the same as the previous one. Since it was the finale of the first stage, all professional players were also watching the live broadcast in front of the computer. Liu Chuan received a lot of curses and kept sneezing.Today's match between Long Yin and Cang Lan is scheduled for the morning, and the players of other teams are also preparing for the battle urgently, so they must not be in the mood to meddle in their two teams' affairs.

Only Ye Chenxi checked Weibo casually, raised the corners of his lips slightly after seeing the list of players, and said, "Sure enough, it seems that the Dragon Yin team's change of command is just for different teams. In the first stage, only Luohuaci and Canglan is under the command of my master, that is to say, their lineup should not change too much next time they fight Luohuaci, they will still be under the command of my master, and Liu Chuan is likely to be on the sidelines."

Lin Yufan nodded in agreement: "So Chuan God thought that Si Lan knew you better, so he let Si Lan command you to beat Hua Ci. Then what is the reason for Cang Lan? Si Lan obviously does not know the cat god better than Liu Chuan is so deep, right? At least Liu Chuan is also playing the puppet genre, wouldn’t it be more sure if he directs it himself?”

Ye Chenxi smiled and said, "I don't know about that."

In fact, many people can't figure this out.As the puppet master of the Tang Sect, why didn't Liu Chuan direct the match with Cang Lan?

Only the people in the Longyin team know that Liu Chuan actually doesn't mind the "No. [-] Puppet Master" dispute. He did this just to give Lan Weiran more opportunities to perform, so that Si Lan can practice more, so that he can cope with the pressure stronger. playoffs.

Regrettably, Long Yin did not win the 3 points in the group arena as smoothly as last time when he faced Team Canglan at home.

Xu Ce played very calmly, but the cat god also lived up to his reputation. Last time at home in Hangzhou, he underestimated the enemy and was careless. As a result, Xu Ce turned defeat into victory at the last minute. As a top player, it is impossible for Li Cangyu to fall twice in a row in the same pit.This time, Li Cangyu played very cautiously. He kept on guard against Xu Ce's big explosion. He used the tempo kite consumption tactics to slowly turn the balance of victory to the Canglan team, and won 3 points for the Canglan team in the group arena.

In the team battle stage, Si Lan still showed a strong view of the overall situation, and won two flags in a row in the upper and lower lanes. Unfortunately, the black flag in the middle lane was seized by Li Cangyu, and finally the score was determined to be 4:5.

This score dissatisfied many Dragons fans who came to watch the game live. Losing points at home could easily have a serious impact on the morale of the team. There was a trace of frustration, but everyone's expressions were calm, and the fans who came to watch the scene were relieved.

Liu Chuan said in an interview as early as the first stage: "In the second stage, our tactics will be thoroughly studied by the major teams. In addition, the influence of the home map advantage is getting smaller and smaller, and it will only be more difficult to score points."

Sure enough, as Liu Chuan expected, it was very difficult to score points in the second stage. After scoring 4:5 against Canglan, they went to Qingdao to play Qixingcao, but they also failed to score satisfactory points.

In the match against Seven Star Grass in Changsha, Liu Chuan asked Si Lan to come out and kill Chen Xiaobei, which gave Xu Ce a sufficient early advantage and successfully won 3 points in the ring. Chen Xiaobei, who was not mature enough, sent two top aces, Ye Zhou and Su Shilun, and Xue Ke, who had always played calmly, as the opening player of the group arena—this was obviously Xiao Sijing's special gift for Long Yin. The luxurious ring package prepared by the team.

Su Shilun came out to defend the ring, and finally succeeded in winning the 3 points of the main flag.

And in the team battle stage, Xiao Huang chose an air battle map that surprised everyone - Yunxiao City.

This is a city in the air, like a fairyland, with extremely beautiful scenery, but it is a pity that once one foot falls, it will be a tragedy of being smashed into mud.

The air combat map does not appear many times in the regular season of the professional league, because the air combat map has too many uncertain factors, and often accidentally steps on the air and will fall to death... Several rookies of the Dragon Yin team face The difficult air combat map did not fully demonstrate his own level. Xiao Sijing made full use of his home court advantage to win two consecutive flags, and finally won the score of 7:2.

The loss of two consecutive games made the outside world couldn't help but start to question: Will the Longyin team be like those newly promoted teams in the past, performing well in the first stage, but going downhill in the second stage?

In fact, this is a very common phenomenon in the e-sports professional circle, and people call it the "new team curse".

New teams that have just come to the league often have an upset score when the new team beats a strong team because everyone is not familiar with them.However, after all the teams have played against them and figured out the details of the new team, the performance of the new team will plummet in the second stage. The omissions in the cooperation of various teammates and the defects in the mentality of the new players will be like being trapped. The magnifying glass is magnified and presented in front of everyone.

The team that can break the "curse of new teams" so far is only the Snow Wolf team that appeared in the tenth season. In the first season, they directly broke into the playoffs and even won the trophy. Therefore, the Snow Wolf team is also known as the strongest "dark horse" in the history of the league.

Will the Dragon Yin team become a dark horse team?Or is it just a flash in the pan?

Many people are guessing, even the fans of the Dragon Yin team are a little uneasy.

After the start of the second stage, all the big teams tried their best, and the first two games just started were quite intense.

In the team standings, Longyin ranked No.100 with a total score of 5 points at the end of the first stage. After these two games, it fell to No.106 with a score of 6 points. With a total score of 107 points, he overtook Longyin and ranked fifth. It is said that Yang Jian has been as brutal as a chicken blood recently. He played two consecutive games of 5:4 against the two strong teams of Tongque and Shengtang.

On the contrary, Liu Chuan, who was the elder brother, lost consecutively. When he was fighting Canglan, he sat under the stage playing soy sauce. Losing, the captain Liu Chuan is still so leisurely is really unreasonable.

However, Liu Chuan is very calm. He knows the current situation well, and he also has his own plans for the future of the Dragon Yin team. His goal is very firm, and even if he loses for a while, he will not be shaken.

No matter how noisy the outside world is, the internal atmosphere of the Dragon Yin team is quite relaxed.

Soon we will face the third opponent Luohuaci in the second stage. Everyone gathers together for pre-match tactical analysis as usual. Liu Chuan pointed to the standings on the big screen and said: "In the first game of the second stage, we lost 4:5. We gave it to Canglan; in the second game we lost to Qixingcao 2:7, but everyone, don’t forget that in the first stage, we once won Qixingcao 5:4 and Canglan 7:2, so comprehensively Let’s just say, the points we got from Cang Lan and Seven Star Grass are the same as the points we lost... Xueba, come and do the math.”

"Yeah." Wu Zewen counted seriously, "We won a total of 11 points from Canglan, and 7 points from Qixingcao. And Qixingcao took 11 points from us, Canglan took 7 points from us... To sum up, against these two teams, we scored a total of 18 points and lost 18 points."

Liu Chuan smiled and said, "So, we are actually tied, right?"

Everyone: "..."

The others couldn't laugh or cry, Captain, your way of comforting yourself is really amazing!

However, what Liu Chuan said is also reasonable. During the regular season, they are ranked according to the total points, and the points scored and the points lost are equal, which means that their ranking will not be too low, depending on how the other teams are doing.Currently ranked No.6, Longyin is still a little dangerous to enter the playoffs, and the team will definitely have to work hard in the later stages of the team.

"Losing two games in a row, do you think this is the low point of the team? You are too naive. I have experienced the low point of losing ten games in a row. Don't worry, there is still a hard bone called Luo Huaci."

Liu Chuan's words brought back everyone's thoughts, and everyone was speechless.

Yu Xiangyang couldn't help but said: "Captain, what do you mean by this? The low period of losing ten games in a row? How could you curse us with a crow's mouth before the fight started!"

"Of course I hope we can win. It was just a metaphor." Liu Chuan said with a smile, "However, this match with Luo Huaci will definitely be very difficult. Si Lan, you must be mentally prepared. Since I said it this time to make you realize how powerful he is, I must have come prepared this time. The biggest reason why we were able to break Luohuaci’s death curse for a strong team at home in Shanghai before was because Team Ye was too surprised to suddenly change your command. He didn't keep up with the rhythm for a while, and now he has defenses, and you commanding this game will not be as effective as the first time."

Lan Weiran nodded and said, "I know, I will think about how to fight."
