For Love of the Game

The transfer period of "City of Despair" entered in December, and the US game official also announced the ranking of professional players in the S12 season at this time.

The annual professional ranking is a very important event for players and fans. For players, ranking at the top can increase their worldwide popularity, and their worth and popularity will also increase exponentially. 20 players will also be eligible to participate in the individual battle of "City of Despair" in January next year.

For fans, the annual changes in the world rankings are the most talked about topics.

This year, since the wild card game is also counted in the reference basis of the world ranking, the people who pay attention to it will be even wider. At 12:4 on December 0th, almost all professional players are nervously squatting on the official website waiting for the release of the data.

Every year the top occupation is the big brother swordsman, and this year is no exception. Zhou Ning stared nervously at the phone screen, and quickly glanced at the swordsman occupation ranking when the web page was successfully refreshed.

No.1: SkyWolf (Guan He, China, Xiaowolf Team)

Seeing Guan He's name, Zhou Ning was overjoyed.

Very good!World number one!

In the last year before retiring, Guan He still sat firmly on the throne of the world's number one swordsman.

He quickly sent a screenshot to Guan He, and Guan He quickly replied "Congratulations".

Zhou Ning wondered why Guan He, who is number one in the world, congratulated himself instead?Did I post the wrong picture?

He clicked on the screenshot, and this time he suddenly found that his name was listed under Guan He——

No.2: Ning (Zhou Ning, China, Team Maple Moon)

Zhou Ning was dumbfounded, the second in the world, the second in the world? !

He actually won the second place in the professional swordsman world, which is known as the most master-gathering and the hardest to rise in the ranking? !Second only to Guan He?

At the top of the screen, there were constant message reminders, all of which were group messages from the Maple Moon team. Starfish sent a series of voice messages.

"No. [-] in the world! Brother Ning, you have won the No. [-] spot in the entire swordsman profession! Team Heguan has won the top two spots! This is too cool! The top two swordsman professions with the strictest rankings are all Chinese players! That's too much!" Isn't it handsome!"

The so-called strictest ranking is because there are so many swordsman professional players, especially the two branches of light sword and epee, which are necessary for almost every professional team. With a large number of people, it is naturally more difficult to get a ranking.

Zhou Ning knew that he would definitely have the world ranking this year, but he never expected to be second only to Guan He. This is the highest honor for a swordsman player!

He said humbly, "It's because the team won the championship this year. Otherwise, I would definitely not get such a good ranking in terms of personal record. The KDA of the professional players announced a few days ago is counting backwards for the whole year."

When the game official ranks the players, the team's overall score does play a big role. After all, the farther a team goes, the stronger the enemy it encounters, so it can't be measured solely by the winning rate.

Song Xueyang sent a voice.

"You are too humble, the world championship is the result of everyone's joint efforts, and if you have not defeated Li Shengyuan twice in Solo, you will not be ranked second in the world, so this ranking is what you deserve, and you deserve it. "

Zhou Ning clicked on the screenshot again and took a closer look. Sure enough, Li Shengyuan of Team Rider ranked third, while Tang Wenlang, who was ranked No.5 last year, fell to sixth because of the unsatisfactory performance of Team Xiaowolves this year. , Let Zhou Ning sigh once again how difficult it is for Guan He to keep the world's number one ranking.

Under the swordsman is the fighter. As the most common pure meat in the game, there are also many fighters, but the competition is much less intense than the swordsman.The rule of the swordsman profession is that the top half of the ranks are berserkers, because berserkers can resist and have high output, and the annual KDA and single-player arena win rates are also higher than the other two branches.

With the high winning rate of the demolition team and the brilliant performance of killing Zheng Zhiyi, the world's number one magician in the 2V2 arena, Fan Jingming ranked fifth in the world's fighters. It can be said to be a very gratifying achievement. Even the world-renowned Berserker The player Pablo was ranked behind him and only got No.8.Tao Lele also won No.18 in the world with the wonderful performance of Luo Lie in the wild card match.

After the warrior comes the assassin.

Shen Huai ranked No.1 in the assassin ranking list without any suspense——

No.1: Wing (Shen Huai, China, Team Maple Moon)

No.2: KU (Takuma Miura, Japan, Sukura)

Shen Huai didn't pay too much attention to the ranking of assassins, he was very confident in himself, so he quickly pulled to the professional ranking of gunmen below the assassins, and saw the name he was thinking of without accident.

No.1: Snow (Song Xueyang, China, Team Maple Moon)

The two were snuggling together to watch the world rankings, but at this time they held up their mobile phones to show each other. Shen Huai's page stayed on the gunner rankings, and Song Xueyang's page stayed on the assassin rankings.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Song Xueyang extended his hand friendly, "Congratulations, the world's number one assassin, I, the world's number one shooter, didn't disappoint you, right?"

He always remembered what he said to Shen Huai - I will stand by your side and become someone who can rival you.

Shen Huai shook hands with him with a smile, "No, it's just... a little less unexpected."

Song Xueyang smiled and hugged him into his arms, sniffing the faint fragrance from the top of his head, "You trust me too much. Before the ranking was announced, I wasn't even sure that I could get the first place."

Because the three branches of the Gunslinger profession do not have any weakness, as the most important physical long-range DPS in the game, there are many professional Gunslinger players, and due to the super solo and team battle ability of the mechanic, the overall ranking is often higher than other branches .

As a sniper, Song Xueyang is really amazing to be ranked as the world's number one shooter.

Shen Huai held his hand, "I believe in you more than I believe in myself."

What he said was extremely sincere. Song Xueyang had excellent brains and operational skills, and what he said could always be easily realized. He was the most reliable man in his heart.

After reading each other's rankings, the two looked at other people's rankings.

Due to the lack of professional Assassin players, Luo Lie, who performed well in the wild card competition, and Shen Huai showed his style of play in the world championship, also got sixth in the world. Among the players who only participated in the wild card competition Among them, the ranking is also the highest.

In the gunner profession, the gunner Diamond of the Rider team still sits firmly at the second place in the world. WG won the world runner-up this year. Zhang Jiayan's world ranking has risen from No.4 to No.3, and he is also the highest ranked player in the world in the mechanic branch. .

Jin An's world ranking has improved by one place compared to last year, ranking No.11. He is the only player whose personal ranking has risen when the overall performance of the Xiaowolf team has declined.

Starfish relied on four kills against the wind in the finals to get No. 20 in the world gunners professional ranking, just stuck in the last place, which is both an encouragement and a stimulus.

Because if Fengyue didn't win the world championship this year, then he would definitely be thrown out of the top 20.

Hai Xing saved the screenshot of the page with her own ranking in her phone, secretly making up her mind that next year she must raise her ranking to the top fifteen.

Luo Lie immediately received the message from Pablo.

Pablo: Hey!Luo Lie!You are ranked sixth in the world!It's so cool, there is no team ranking, and I got No.6 just by my own strength!

Luo Lie was a little embarrassed: There are too few professional players playing assassins. If it was placed in the S2 season, it would be difficult for my level to even be in the top 20.

Pablo quickly sent a series of exclamation points: How is that possible! !You are so good!In the future, I will definitely become a master assassin who is as powerful as Wing! !

Luo Lie smiled knowingly: That's my dream too.

Just as he was thinking, a message from Shen Huai popped up on his phone, he wiped it out of excitement, and quickly clicked on WeChat to read it.

Shen Huai: Xueyang and I plan to visit the Dream Team in two days, please send me your address.

When Shen Huai sponsored the Dream Team, he said that he would come to take a look at it, but later they were busy with the wild card game and preparing for the World Championship, and they never had time. It seems that Shen Huai has not forgotten this. look at them.

Luo Lie happily jumped up from the bed, and he quickly replied, "Okay, God of Feather, let me know when you book the ticket, and I'll pick you up at the airport!"

Shen Huai: That's fine, let's contact via WeChat.

Luo Lie: OK!

After replying to these, he immediately opened the team's WeChat group excitedly to announce the good news. The teammates were all overjoyed, and quickly made a cleaning plan.

After the physics profession is over, it is the turn of the law profession, and the first one listed is the magician.

Magician and Gunner are both very popular professions in the game, and each profession branch is very useful, so the competition in the world ranking is naturally extremely fierce.

Zheng Zhiyi of the Rider team still sits firmly on the throne of the world's number one magician, while Shi Yi actually got a good result of No.5 in the world. The competition for the ranking of magicians is fierce, and the starting point of the world's fifth is already very high.

However, Shi Yi's performance in this year's World Championships is really good. People who don't know him will definitely regard him as a hidden genius from the World Championship alone, but only those who are familiar with him know that he won today a little bit. Honorary.

Behind him is Liang Minghui, who was ranked tenth in the world last year. This year he skipped the three and got sixth in the world, which is also the best time in his career.

Myko and Ice Prince Green of the Live team are still ranked seventh and eighth, which has not changed from last year.Team Xiaowolf's Bu Ping Bu Fan double ice method dropped one place in the overall ranking, at No.11 and No.[-].

WG's Shell is also on the list this year, ranking No.19. What makes the fans happy is that Si Qianjin of the Thunder team won the World Magician without participating in the World Championship due to his outstanding performance in the wild card game. Career ranking No.15!

You must know that there are many masters in the magician profession, and it is already very impressive to get fifteen without a team ranking.

Si Qianjin looked at his ranking and burst into tears. He believed that he had the strength to compete with the firemen, but he hadn't participated in the world competition these years, and he had no chance to let the world players know him. No matter how popular he is in China, No matter how many people affirm him, there is still one less signboard that can be sold.

But now it is different, he has his own world ranking - No.15!

Although this ranking is not high, it is a good start. He can participate in the individual competition in January, allowing more audiences to know himself!He must work harder and strive to lead the team to the World Championship next year!

The members of the Thunder team also cried bitterly for Captain Yu's world ranking, and Si Qianjin's fans knew that not having a world ranking was a pimple in his heart for many years. Not long after the ranking was announced, they congratulated him on Weibo He got his wish.

Si Jin posted a Weibo——

V Thunder-Raytheon: Thank you fans for your concern and encouragement!I am really very, very happy to be awarded the No.15 professional magician in the world, and I also want to thank Yushen @风月-蓉羽 for giving me a lot of opportunities to play in the wild card competition. I can only say thank you for this opportunity, I am also glad that I seized this opportunity.

Si Qianjin seldom posts such a formal Weibo, and his mixed feelings can be felt between the lines. Fans couldn't help being moved by him, leaving messages to encourage him to make persistent efforts, and next year's results will be even better.

After the magician is the old enemy conjurer.

ERO's captain, Jonathan, is still firmly seated as the number one conjurer. As a white conjurer, his level is already very good.The lucky William of the same team also got a good result of No.10. Some netizens said that William's ranking is too low, and his Dream Inception Master has no problem breaking into the top five.

However, the Dream Stealer profession is more dependent on teammates, and William's Dream Stealer is too lucky to make people doubt its operation.However, as a rookie who has just debuted for two years, this ranking is already very rare.

Zhou Jing's white spell ranked seventh in the world, which is not only related to Fengyue's winning the championship, but also her own consciousness operation is absolutely top-notch. , almost every wonderful team battle scene of Fengyue has her figure, and she is also the most eye-catching one among the rookies who entered the World Championship this year.

Hai Xing quickly sent Zhou Jing a WeChat message, "6666! Seventh! You are too good!"

Zhou Jing smiled softly lying on the bed, and quickly tapped the keyboard with both hands, "You have to work hard, you are the only one with the lowest rank in the team."

Xing Xing: That's because there are so many gunmen!

Star: No!It should be that you didn't help me well!You have to find the reason more from yourself.

Xing Xing: Xiao Ming is gone, next year the two of us must become a 2V2 combination that will carry Maple Moon!

Zhou Jing watched what he said here and there, rolled around on the bed with the quilt in her arms, and finally replied "OK".

Then there is the Holy Light.

The professional players of the Holy Light are mostly healing, followed by the anti-control system, and the least is the poison system. The world rankings are the same every year, but this year is very different. Jia Yunge, who has always been ranked second in the Holy Light, defeated the first nanny Become No.1 in the world's Holy Light career!

No.1: Cloud (Jia Yunge, China, WG)

This is the first time that Shengguang, the poison system, has reached the number one position in the world, and it is also the first time that a Chinese player has won the number one ranking in the world in the Shengguang profession.

Zhang Jiayan was even happier than he had won the second place in the world. He put his arms around Jia Yunge's neck and shouted, "Yunge! You are the number one Holy Light in the world! The most powerful professional player of the Holy Light in the world!"

Jia Yunge smiled and compared the scissorhands in his arms, and it was obvious that he was also very happy.

Zhang Jiayan was not very satisfied, "Why don't you say anything when you're so happy?"

Jia Yunge lifted the bear doll from his arms and pressed it, and a voice came from inside—"Great! Thank you!"

Zhang Jiayan said, "This is my voice, not yours."

Jia Yunge was in a dilemma, and ran away with the doll in his arms, ignoring him.

The two were in the same dormitory, and the room was originally facing the door, but Zhang Jiayan was worried about Jia Yunge, so he let him move into his room on the day he joined the team, and Jia Yunge's room was changed into a storage room.

So Jia Yunge avoided him, and just ran to a corner of the room, Zhang Jiayan quickly clung to him.

"Yun Ge, last time you promised me to talk more in the future, I'm worried that you won't talk to me all the time, and you'll forget how to talk to me in the future."

Jia Yunge acted as if he hadn't heard, and was playing with his little doll with a smile on his face.

Zhang Jiayan knew that Jia Yunge had learned many years ago how to filter out unwanted information to protect himself, and he also knew that a smile could not represent his mood.

"Yun Ge," Zhang Jiayan pressed his shoulder lightly, coaxing him, "If you don't know what to say, just say you're happy."

Zhang Jiayan saw Jia Yunge take out his mobile phone and type—why was he happy?

Zhang Jiayan said, "You have won the number one in the world! The number one holy light in the world!"

"But Xiaoyan didn't get the number one in the world."

Zhang Jiayan scratched his head, "It doesn't matter to me, Song Xueyang is really good, I don't think I can do the 2000-meter extreme sniper, and besides sniping, he is also very good at tactical command, I am convinced if I lose to him, but I... "

Jia Yunge suddenly turned around and hugged him, then leaned into his ear and whispered, "Xiaoyan is the best!"

Zhang Jiayan's heart seemed to melt, and the ecstasy mixed with sadness made him hug Jia Yunge tightly, "With your words, I will definitely be number one in the world next year! Just wait and see, Yunge!"

Jia Yunge smiled, clicked on the webpage, Zhang Jiayan understood, "Okay, you can see where you want to go this year, and I will accompany you!"

The last one is a new professional qigong master.

Ranked No. 1 is still Jin Chengjun, whose status no one can shake. Although he lost to Shen Huai twice in this year's World Championships, no one is dissatisfied with his achievements in the profession of qigong master.

What's interesting is that Xiao Zhang's name did not appear in this year's world rankings. Perhaps the International Competition Committee has also heard about his deeds and believes that such a player who has been removed from the Chinese e-sports circle does not deserve to have a world ranking. His name did not appear in the top 20.

Cui Baozhen leaped to second place, just below Jin Chengjun, and became the highest-ranked qigong master in the current qigong style in the world.Although Hu Nana did not participate in the World Championships this year, her majesty still exists, and her ranking has risen by one place due to Xiao Zhang's withdrawal, becoming the fifth in the world.

Netizens around the world were very curious about not finding Xiao Zhang's name in the ranking of qigong masters. After asking around, they found out that Xiao Zhang had confirmed that he was expelled from the team for letting water in the wild card competition.

No one will understand a person who disregards the interests of the country. Xiao Zhang's behavior is a heinous crime in the eyes of people of any country and color, and it is against the spirit of e-sports competitions.

His popularity has reached an unprecedented level, because for many foreigners, deliberately putting water on world-class competitions is nothing new. Many people never even thought that such a thing could happen, which makes He became the talk of the whole network.

In addition to the personal rankings, the official also announced this year's world No. 100 Solo king——Wing (Shen Huai, China, Maple Moon team).

Just a few words made people deeply shocked.

In the World Championship where the masters gathered, the players of a team that fought from the group stage to the finals actually maintained a 100% winning rate in their personal Solo!It's so terrifying!And this ranking also convinced the audience all over the world who watched the game.

This year, there is one more new ranking than previous years, the combined ranking.

This has never been done before, the bottom line is full of famous duos, and only ten pairs are listed.

No.1 is the Snow Feather combination of Snow and Wing!The two won the hearts of the judges with their super high winning percentage, exquisite cooperation and excellent skills. Although they did not play many times, they got the best results.

The duo of Zhang Jiayan and Huo Lao ranked fourth, and No.5 was Zhang Jiayan and Jia Yunge. It seems that WG's serial bonus flow is also the favorite of the judges, and they can get two rankings in a row.

The demolition group is ranked sixth, which is a very fair ranking considering their wonderful performance.

Although Fan Jingming has retired, he is still extremely happy with the glory he shared with Shi Yi, even far surpassing his own fifth place in the world.

Interestingly, Guan He and Zhou Ning, a combination that only briefly appeared in the wild card competition, ranked tenth. The judges said that because this combination allowed them to see the infinite possibilities of swordsman professional cooperation, and the world's No. Guan He of One Swordsman assisted Zhou Ning to get a double kill, which was also very unexpected.

After the announcement of the world rankings, it was no surprise that it once again became the trending topic on Weibo.

Four of the world's No. [-] players in the eight major professions this year are players from the Chinese team. Among them, the swordsman profession has won the top two. It can be said that it has been a bumper year for China's e-sports.

At this time, Shen Huai and Song Xueyang had already boarded the plane to the Dream Team.
