For Love of the Game

1V1擂台Loong战队三擂连胜，加上之前以绝对优势取得胜利的6V6,中国队便以2:0的总比分战胜了意大利OT战队,顺利晋级总决赛。

Seeing Si Qianjin stand up from the chair, Shen Huai also heaved a sigh of relief.

He is one step closer to his goal of winning the Wild Card Tournament. In the next matchup between the American and Nordic teams, the winner will be the opponent in the finals of the Loong team.

Si Qianjin returned to the waiting room, and the first thing he did was to cup his fists at Shen Huai. Shen Huai smiled slightly and didn't speak, but that expression was telling him not to take it to heart.

Liang Minghui congratulated, "Congratulations to the captain for getting his wish. This year's world ranking must be on the list."

Si Jin cheerfully picked up a bottle of mineral water, "Thank you, for your kind words, I will have no regrets after retiring with a world ranking."

In a word, everyone is very sad. Si Jinjin is an old man in the circle. Song Xueyang hadn’t joined the circle when he was playing professionally. Zhang Jiayan hadn’t become the captain yet. Xiao Zhang wasn’t the third qigong master in the world. A few years have passed in a flash. The former juniors have gone further and further, but he has never been able to step out of that door.

Fortunately, Si Qianjin has a good attitude, and he is happy every day without worrying. He always says that he is not strong enough, and that it doesn’t matter if he hasn’t gone abroad. He is very popular in China, but every professional player wants to get Approval from fans.It is not based on character, appearance, humor or even hard work, but on the recognition of technical operations. The compliment they most want to hear is always only one sentence - 666!

Seeing that everyone was almost talking, Shen Huai urged them to pack their things, "The next game is the US team and the Nordic team. The winning team will be our opponent tomorrow, so I ask everyone to watch the game."

Si Qianjin threw all the melon seeds on the table into the trash can, "You can't let us see it. The members of the US team this year are the original members of the PD and D2 teams. Even if it's not for the purpose of inquiring about the enemy's situation, it is absolutely necessary for the competition. Wonderful."

Liang Minghui nodded, "The PD and D2 teams are very difficult to meet in the World Championship every year. This year, each of their two teams eliminated a player with a lower level. The combined wild card team is enough to compete with us."

Si Qianjin was in full swing, so he didn't take it seriously, "Huo Duo, you're going to raise the prestige of others and destroy your own. Although PD and D2 are strong, our team is not weak either! Team Guan, Yushen, Lao Song, Yun God, these are all the top players in our country, just taking out one is enough to make the enemy afraid, no matter how strong PD and D2 are, it is impossible to include so many great masters like us, right?"

Liang Minghui thought about it, so he smiled, "I was too careful, Yushen should play tomorrow, right?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Huai.

Since the start of the wild card game, Shen Huai hasn't played yet. Wai Guoren doesn't know his strength and thinks he is an image ambassador sent by China.In fact, they all understand that the reason why Shen Huai has not played is to give more chances for them, who are not ranked in the world, to play.Many teams in the wild card competition are not their opponents. The more games played and the higher the winning percentage, the better for them to participate in the world ranking.

It can be said that Shen Huai put himself in their shoes for every decision he made.

Shen Huai didn't refuse either, and admitted frankly, "That's my plan, but how to play depends on the US team's style of play and tomorrow's mode order. This is also out of team considerations. I hope everyone can cooperate with my arrangement. .”

Tao Lele immediately said, "Yu Shen, you are too polite to say that. Since the start of the wild card game, you have always thought of us and gave us all the opportunities to play. Everyone is watching, thank you before it's too late. How could you not cooperate?"

"puff--"

Xiao Zhang spit out a mouthful of water, if Luo Lie hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been sprayed all over by now.

Xiao Zhang couldn't help laughing, he waved his hands while laughing, "Sorry, haha, I just can't help it, this joke is enough for me to laugh for a lifetime."

Tao Lele's face darkened, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting!" Xiao Zhang looked at him in surprise, as if it was strange for him to ask this question, "After all, flattering can bring you benefits, but it can only make me see a joke."

"You!" Tao Lele was so angry that she raised her foot and wanted to rush forward, but Luo Lie hurriedly grabbed him.

Shen Huai frowned, and said coldly, "Xiao Zhang, don't forget, I still have the photo of you bringing people back for the night during the training camp."

A cold light flashed in Xiao Zhang's eyes, and it disappeared quickly. He spread his hands with a smile, "Okay captain, please chat slowly, I'll go to watch the game first."

After speaking, he took his backpack and left.

Tao Lele blushed with anger, and everyone surrounded him to persuade him.

Tao Lele said angrily, "I don't understand, Xiao Zhang wasn't like this before, why does he bite everyone he sees now?"

Shen Huai comforted him, "Don't worry, he's just targeting me."

Tao Lele stopped talking, everyone packed up their things, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Song Xueyang drank Shen Huai's unfinished mineral water, threw it into the trash can, and whispered, "Be careful of Xiao Zhang in tomorrow's game."

"I know." Shen Huai said softly.

If Xiao Zhang had stood up and resisted when he threatened Xiao Zhang just now, he would not have taken it to heart.But Xiao Zhang backed down just now, which doesn't mean his style of handling things at all, unless he has other revenge plans.

Everyone walked towards Hall A with their peripheral bags on their backs. Luo Lie complained from behind, "I was very happy to be able to watch the US team play live, but when I thought of standing behind and crowded with so many people, I couldn't bear it." Can't be happy."

Si Qianjin also deeply agreed, "Isn't it? Fortunately, my eyesight is good, otherwise I would not be able to see the battle screen clearly when I stand so far away."

Shen Huai, who was walking in the front, slightly tilted his head, "I've already found seats for you."

"Seats? Didn't the organizer not reserve a seat for us?" Luo Lie asked naively.

Sunny smiled gently, "Of course it's the exclusive seat the captain got for us."

Everyone understood when they arrived at the scene, because Shen Huai took them directly to the VIP area, and Shen Nuo's row of black-clothed bodyguards not only quickly gave way, but also nodded to them.

The audience in the back row screamed when they saw them, and everyone greeted Shen Nuo politely.

Shen Huai said casually, "Everyone find a seat and sit casually."

That tone is the same as saying "Welcome everyone to come to my house as a guest, just play casually, you're welcome".

Luo Lie pulled Tao Lele and Si Qianjin to sit down in the middle of the front row, "Wow, this seat is too good, even 500-degree myopia can see clearly!"

"It's an exaggeration. Deputy Tang took off his glasses and still can't see clearly."

Several people heard the reputation, and found that the speaker was actually Guan He, so they smiled awkwardly and changed the subject.

It's not that they don't want to talk to Team Guan, it's that they don't know what to say!

Shen Huai sat down beside Shen Nuo, and Chris next to him stretched out his hand to him, "Hi, Shen Huai, first time meeting, my name is Chris, and I'm a game commentator."

Everyone was a little surprised when he spoke, because he actually spoke Chinese!Although the accent is a bit strange, there is no grammatical error at all.

Chris is a well-known game anchor of "City of Despair" in the United States. He has a humorous live broadcast style and is very popular. He once wanted to invite him to be a commentator for a domestic professional game in the United States, but he refused. He did not expect him to be Shen Nuo. private commentary.

Shen Huai shook hands with him, "Hello, Mr. Ricks. I have watched your live broadcast and Black Gun series videos, and I know that you are very popular in the United States. I didn't expect you to come to explain for my father."

Chris didn't expect Shen Huai to know him, "You're joking, I grew up watching Teacher Shen's movies. Because of him, I have always been yearning for China, and I have also learned Chinese. Teacher Shen can invite me to help him It is my honor to explain."

Shen Huai knows that his father's fans are all over the world, especially abroad. When he almost mentions Chinese actors, the name Shen Nuo will be the first to come to mind. Over the years, he has become accustomed to hearing elites from all walks of life say that they are his father's fans. .

"By the way, Shen Huai, will you play against the US team tomorrow?"

Chris is obviously very confident that the US team can win. Considering that he is also a member of the US e-sports circle, Shen Huai did not answer directly, but said vaguely, "It hasn't been decided yet."

Chris nodded, "That's a pity, Teacher Shen must really want to see you play in person."

Shen Nuo was said to be on his mind, but he was unwilling to admit it, "I'm too lazy to watch him, I just want to watch the Chinese team win the first place, it doesn't matter if he plays or not."

Chris was dumbfounded, Shen Huai nodded indifferently, "Father is right."

Chris immediately admired him very much. He remembered that when he was studying Chinese culture, he mentioned that China has attached great importance to filial piety since ancient times. It is impossible to contradict or disobey what parents say and make decisions. Even marriage matters pay attention to the orders of parents. That's right.

In fact, Shen Huai had figured out Shen Nuo's temper a long time ago, and was just too lazy to expose him.

美国VS北欧的比赛很快就开始了，比赛顺序是6V6、2V2和1V1。

The first 6V6 mode is the Battle of the Heads of State, the map is the wreck of the Zebiak, and the attributes are night and rain.The US team directly sent six members of the D2 team to play. From Chris's introduction, the D2 team is the runner-up team in the US this year. The main output lineup is Elementalist and Berserker, and the auxiliary is Black Curse and Healer.

When the map is at night, the attack power of assassins, black spells, and berserkers is strengthened. In rainy weather, the thunder attack is strengthened by 5%. It can be said that the D2 team has an advantage on this map.

The lineup of the Nordic team is two fire spells, a mechanic, black spells, heavy swords and dream stealers. From this lineup that lacks milk and meat, it can be seen that the Nordic team is the same as the Chinese team in terms of selection this year. , only considered the players and did not consider the professional match.

Chris explained in detail, "The player who plays Dream Stealer is William, a rookie from the Nordic ERO team. He only participated in professional competitions last year. He is 18 years old this year. Dream Stealer is the third branch of Conjurers. There are very few, there are not many auxiliary skills, there are fewer people playing in the professional arena, but there are more ordinary players in the game."

"This class is very fun to play. The ultimate move 'Lucky Gambler' can randomly steal a non-ultimate skill from the enemy. The player whose skill is stolen cannot use this skill for the entire game. It sounds a bit powerful, but the game There are a lot of small skills that are not very useful, and this skill can only be used once in the whole game. It is not worthwhile to exchange a big move for a normal skill. The ultimate big move 'Dream Journey' can only be used once in the whole game , you can transfer all the players in the game to another map in the game library, which is equivalent to changing a map for the game. It sounds very cool, but it’s useless if you think about it..."

Luo Lie couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Chris, you are really humorous."

Chris raised his eyebrows at him, and continued to explain to Shen Nuo, "But the great thing about William is that he is a child blessed by God. These two big moves will never disappoint."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uncontrollable exclamation from the audience in the back row. William threw out the dream journey at the beginning of the game, and directly replaced the game map with the island of yellow sand, with attributes of flame and wind!

Fire attribute fire attack bonus, ice magic weakened, wind attribute can increase the distance of all displacement skills and the duration of acceleration skills, these two attributes are perfect for the two fire mages of the Nordic team!

Everyone in the Chinese team was stunned. The map didn't seem to be drawn randomly, it seemed to be chosen deliberately!If they encounter such a Dream Stealer online, they must think that this person is cheating!

Once the map is changed, the innate advantage of the American team is gone. Originally, David sent the D2 team to play because their occupation and the map are highly compatible, and the same team cooperates tacitly. Who would have thought that William would be so accurate when changing the map?

What made the American team even more irritating was still to come. After teleporting to the new map, William used the big move "Lucky Gambler". This time, he actually directly stole the arcane flicker of the D2 elementalist!

This little skill is simply the basis for elementalists to survive. Chris said, "An elementalist without arcane flicker is like a steak without black pepper, and dumplings without soy sauce and vinegar. They have completely lost their souls!"

Everyone in the Chinese team agrees with this statement very much. The way they look at William can no longer be described as admiration. It is simply worshiping the koi. They just missed taking a photo with William and forwarding it. Bless themselves for a year of luck 999.

The Elementalist, whose arcane flash was stolen by William, played very stiffly throughout the game, with a lot of situations, the most critical skill of his combo was gone, and it was impossible for him to train and adapt in advance. It can be seen that his state has been affected, and the more he plays, the worse he plays.

The Dream Stealer's main attack skill is blood sucking, and there is also the passive skill "Wraith", which is common to conjurers, so William was chosen as the head of state as it should be.

When he became the head of state, the US team was very uncomfortable.Because the dream stealer is not good at attacking or assisting. The only advantage is that he can’t kill him. He can not only suck blood, but also steal status. Gao, if he is lucky enough, there is no state that he cannot steal.

Therefore, when the berserkers of the D2 team chased him to slash, but he stole the acceleration plus attack damage reduction state of the big move "War Fury", the whole person was in a bad mood, and there was nowhere to cry.

The Dream Stealer does not need a high level of operation, but the consciousness must pass the level. William's consciousness is obviously top-notch, and the attack and retreat are very rhythmic, especially after he stole the arcane flicker of the elementalist of the D2 team. Three in and three out, like a runaway wild horse, he played like a free and unrestrained player. Through the screen, the audience could feel that everyone in the D2 team wanted to strangle him to death.

However, the players of the D2 team cooperated more tacitly, and the overall level was higher than that of the Nordic team, so even though William annoyed them like a crap stick, the D2 team still did not lose the gap.

The Battle of the Heads of State lasted for a long time. Three players from the Nordic team were killed twice and withdrew from the game. The treatment of the D2 team was also completely eliminated. The blood volume returned to 70%.

Chris watched and shook his head, "D2 can't be played like this, Captain Jack's old problem has happened again, he should have used the spell to control William, and then everyone focused on killing him. If you don't control him, he It's going to keep sucking blood and stealing status, which is really annoying."

Shen Huai, who was sitting beside him without speaking, suddenly said, "But, from now on, he can no longer steal status."

Chris was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Shen Huai to strike up a conversation, because in his eyes, Shen Huai, like Shen Nuo, should be the type to understand the game only by his own commentary.

Before he could speak, Shen Nuo asked his question, "How do you say it?"

Others nearby also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear his explanation.

Shen Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, those obsidian-like obsidian eyes were as sharp as eagle eyes.

"The Nordic and U.S. teams each eliminated three people. It seems that the two sides are evenly matched, but the Nordic team was eliminated by the double fire method and the machine, and the U.S. team was eliminated by the healer, mad war and the elementalist who was stolen from the arcane flicker." .”

Chris still didn't understand, "The main output of both sides is all down, isn't this still evenly matched? Especially for D2, their nurse was eliminated, and the output is not enough, and they can't beat William, who can suck blood. Consumed to death by William."

Shen Huai listened patiently to what he had to say before slowly opening his mouth, "The rest of the Nordic team is the Dream Stealer, Black Curse and Epee Swordsman of the Führer William. The surviving members of the D2 team are the Führer Black Curse Art, Light Sword Swordsman and Berserker. Black Curse and Light Sword Swordsman have no buff skills for themselves. Warriors are all about control, which means that from now on, William can only steal the negative status from his teammates to the enemy. A dream stealer who can't help his teammates to steal beneficial status, but can only suck blood, is in 3V3 It's just a nuisance."

Chris seemed to be enlightened, and when Shen Huai said this, he immediately figured it out.

Jack deliberately let the team's nanny and meat fighter end, because the beneficial status they provide to the team has a very high chance of being stolen by William!But now it looks like 3V3, in fact, William can't play any role!

After thinking about this, Jack suddenly realized that Shen Huai's understanding of this game is not at the level of a simple understanding. He can see through tactics that he couldn't even discover at a glance, and his words are clear and well-founded. Such a person is really just the American media. An ambassador for coverage?
