Stand-in king

Except for himself, no one heard the throbbing in Mo Xu's heart at that moment.

Sunshine and youth, this is probably the best picture.

But Mo Xu felt that he might be a little nervous, the dream last time was embarrassing enough, come again? !

He coughed lightly and turned his gaze back to the projection equipment.

On the first day of the qualifiers, all newly registered teams will be pulled out for a walk, so everyone will pay special attention to the first day of the game.

Each team pays attention to whether there are new teams and new players with outstanding performance. Some of them will be strong opponents, and they can consider buying or poaching people to prepare for the next season.

As for the fans who just watch the game, they will naturally be concerned about whether there is a new idol born, or whether there are competitors for the teams and players they are fans of.

In short, this day can be called a carnival for all God's Lair players.

The official website has released a special page for NGCC. During the entire NGCC competition, players can check the progress of the competition and watch the live broadcast of the competition through this page.

The early stages of the qualifiers are all online games, and the official team will contact each team to coordinate the time. Teams that are not in place for more than 15 minutes will be disqualified.

There are only commentaries in the studio shown in the live broadcast screen, and you can enter the game from the viewing angle to broadcast,

From the finals of the qualifiers to all matches in the winner's bracket during the official competition, the competition will be changed to offline competitions, while the loser's bracket competitions will still use online competitions.

Mo Xu remembers that in the past, due to Mxmx's outstanding performance in the online competition and the lack of performance in the offline competition, fans would often write a sentence for Tianwu on the forum, "Fall in the loser's bracket in the first round, and then go all the way." The script of "killing the champion" was also treated as a joke by some Tianwu team members, and Mo Xu also laughed it off.

...Although it was almost the same story when they won the championship for the first time.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, in the Genies training room, everyone who should order takeout applause and adjust the equipment, stopped training one after another, and sat in front of the projection equipment to watch the game.

Everyone has a chair, basically they sit wherever they are free, and Mo Xu doesn't bother to move his nest. Anyway, he thinks his eyesight is good, not to the point of myopia, and the qualifiers don't require him to go to the front to give lectures like a teacher, so he just shrank. in their place.

It was the original Xiao Hei's position, the most corner position against the wall.

However, just as he turned around to welcome the start of the game, he suddenly found Sun Tianrui dragging a chair and sitting in the aisle next to him.

"What are you doing?" Mo Xu asked.

"Grab the seat." Sun Tianrui smiled, "This is a golden seat. If you don't understand something while watching the game, you can hear Brother Xu's analysis in time."

He was right.

The voice was not too loud, and many other team members heard it, and all of a sudden they regained their spirits: "Yes, sitting next to Brother Xu is a good seat!"

The training room is not very big in all, and you can see the huge curtain wherever you sit, so it's better to listen to what Mo Xu has to say.

After this period of training, the strength of the players has increased significantly, so everyone is very convinced by Mo Xu's game analysis.

You must know that data analysts can only give analysis references from the data, while coaches like Mo Xu can give them an overall analysis from the tactics, including skills, positioning, terrain, and even players' personalities. Taught them a way of thinking about the big picture.

Naturally, he likes to follow Mo Xu when he is watching a game.

Mo Xu: "..."

Fuck, these people are all crowded around him, and it's impossible for him to go to the toilet halfway.

He sighed helplessly: "It's enough for everyone to discuss together in a while, and you don't need to squeeze all over my place. I'm talking here, can't you guys in your seats hear me too?"

"No, no, you can hear clearly when you sit close!" someone said.

"Don't talk too much, let me speak louder." Mo Xu said.

Thinking about it, it seems to be the same reason, so a group of people didn't continue to insist.

Mo Xu finally dispelled their thoughts and looked at Sun Tianrui helplessly: "Aren't you going back to your place?"

"Isn't it good to sit anywhere?" Sun Tianrui asked.

"Yes! Then why are you sitting in the aisle?"

"No one stipulates that I can't sit here!" He said, "I'm too lazy to move, let's just stay here, the game has started, watch the game and watch the game."

There will always be some kind of delay in the opening of the online competition, but the official has accumulated three years of experience in the competition, and in the fourth year, at least there is nothing wrong with it. The two teams that are the opening competition also participated in the preliminaries last year The old team has experience and no players are late.

A group of people in the training room competed for seats, and the commentary on the screen had already finished the opening remarks and entered the game screen.

This year is really different. The first game is an online match between TeamA and YoungGamer, and the optional map is... Jiang Liudu.

It was the map that Meng Xun played during the water friends match at the opening ceremony yesterday.

"It's actually this picture?" Mo Xu was a little surprised.

Apparently, there are other people who find it strange. For example, the outspoken Yang Pengyi yelled the moment he saw this map: "Fuck, why would a team choose such an uncommon map?! Is it interesting to fight in water?"

If Mo Xu were asked to answer, his answer would be yes, water battles are really interesting, and there are more details to calculate... But he also understands that most players don't like water battles very much.

And if there is no water battle, there are too few details that can be deducted from the Jiangliudu map. Except for a small pavilion and ferry, it is almost all flat land, and there are haystacks that can hide around it. The confrontation between players cannot be hidden at all.

"Water battles are very interesting..." Xu Jinghui pondered for a moment, then said, "If the two teams really plan to fight in water."

Ge Chengyang: "Who chose the picture? Did you just say that?"

"It hasn't been announced, so this is the most interesting." Xu Jinghui smiled. Everyone in the training room was noisy just now. Maybe he was the only one who listened carefully to what was said. Water battle."

"The person who chose the picture was not announced? Then there is indeed a possibility." Mo Xu also thought so.

Because according to the practice of previous years, the map selector has an advantage. In order to ensure fairness, in the first round of the competition, both parties participating in the competition will be asked to submit a map, which will be drawn by the official, and which map is selected will be announced before the start .

The selected team will not be selected again in the next round. If both sides of the next round are drawn in the previous round, they will be drawn again.

This system is to ensure that each team will fight on the map chosen by others, in case any team is too lucky to be selected all the way to pass the customs, the advantage is too great.

It's not that this kind of situation where the map provider has not been announced before, but in that case... the map is officially designated.

This may happen if the official wants to promote a certain feature in the game.

For example, the second NGCC coincided with the official promotion of Tibetans in the Grass, and 80.00% of the maps in the online competition that year were green enough to look like a forest.

"Water battle..." Ge Chengyang cried, "If it's true, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight with everyone this year! Don't miss me!"

Melon has good talent, but lacks experience. He is not bad in land combat, but water combat is his shortcoming.

He hasn't exposed this shortcoming very much, because there are indeed very few opportunities for water battles in the competition, but when he heard that the official was going to implement it, his head became dizzy.

Mo Xu smiled: "Practice more and you will be fine."

"Oh no……"

"Let's see..." he said, "If the government really intends to promote water warfare, then I think you all have to do your homework. Raise your hand if you don't know water warfare here, and raise your hand if you have mastered nine orifices. .”

As soon as the words fell, dozens of hands were instantly raised in the training room.

Xu Jinghui also raised his hand, and he looked at Mo Xu curiously: "Brother Xu?"

"Alas..." Mo Xu shook his head, and his tone was filled with hatred, "You should know that professional players can't have such obvious shortcomings!"

How depraved these people are!

But he also understands that this is the reality of the Shennest professional circle.

Water battles are too troublesome, and players instinctively want to escape. It just so happens that there are very few maps that require water battles, whether it is PVE (Player vs. Monster) or PVP (Player vs. Player). Choose this picture.

As time passed, among the new generation of players, almost none of them knew how to fight in the water, and perhaps only an old-timer like Mo Xu could do it.

It may be because of this that the officials have the intention of promoting water warfare.

At the start of the match, the two teams were indeed the same, the team on the right bank dived first, and the team on the left bank waited in ambush on the bank.

This is also the loss that players who brush on the right bank must suffer.

If they knew how to fight in the water, the players on the right bank could go into the water and wait for the other side to go into the water. Unfortunately, these two teams are obviously not that strong.

At the beginning of the game, there seemed to be no bright spots.

However, Mo Xu looked at it and found something different, so he took a closer look at the list of contestants.

Sun Tianrui noticed the change in his expression and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Xu?"

"The YoungGamer team, last year's lineup wasn't like this, right? It seems to have changed a bit?" Mo Xu wasn't quite sure.

YoungGamer entered NGCC for the first time last year. He knelt down in the first round of the qualifiers. The team did not have any outstanding members. I don't remember very well.

Xu Jinghui checked it on the computer at hand, and he also saw some clues: "Brother Xu is right, almost all the personnel have been changed. Is there anything wrong?"

He saw that there was nothing special about it so far, it was just two ordinary registration teams.

"Hmm..." Mo Xu thought for a while and said, "YoungGamer seems to have been trying to drive Team A into the water. Do you feel that way? But if they want to initiate a water fight, they just didn't go ashore just now." Isn't that all right..."
