On April 3rd, the Tianhuan Squad arrived in Glacier City ahead of schedule.
The first match of Group B was also scheduled to be held at the Glacier Arena. It was still winter at that time, and the entire city was covered in crystal clear ice sculptures. There was even a heavy snowfall on the day of the match.
It was now April, and the flowers were in full bloom. The trees on the streets were also sprouting new buds. It was a scene of everything coming back to life.
Cheng Xing would excitedly take videos every time he participated in a competition in another city. Ye Shaoyang was not interested in admiring the scenery outside the window. He sat in the car drowsily.
When the car arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Chi Shuo whispered in his ear, "We're here. Wake up."
Ye Shaoyang rubbed his eyes and woke up in a daze. Chi Shuo casually helped him pick up his backpack from the luggage rack and slung it over his shoulder. Ye Shaoyang then stood up and got out of the car with Chi Shuo.
They usually only stayed for two to three days when they went out for competitions. Their luggage was very light, and they only brought a change of clothes, pajamas, and toiletries. This time, they even brought a new keyboard and mouse.
Ye Shaoyang was too lazy to carry a suitcase. He always brought a backpack to carry his things.
Chi Shuo often took the initiative to help him carry his luggage. Ye Shaoyang used to help his teammates carry their things when he was a captain. He did not think much of Chi Shuo's "help."
Everyone arrived at the hotel lobby and was checking in with the team leader when they heard a hearty laugh. "Chi Shuo, what a coincidence. You guys just arrived too?"
The first website was psm …
It was the captain of the Yueying Squad, Xu Zhuo.
Chi Shuo turned around and saw the Yueying Squad walking over with their luggage.
Xu Zhuo walked at the front. He quickly walked over to Chi Shuo and hugged Chi Shuo.
The two captains were friends, but the other team members were not familiar with each other. They greeted each other angrily.
Ye Shaoyang's gaze landed on Xie Weiyu. She happened to be looking at him as well. Their eyes met. Xie Weiyu smiled at Ye Shaoyang and took the initiative to extend her hand. "Hello, Lieyang."
Ye Shaoyang shook his hand. "Hello."
This was Ye Shaoyang's first time seeing Xie Weiyu up close. Xie Weiyu was a beta boy. He looked much better in person than in the publicity photos. His facial features were gentler, and he gave people the impression that he was very polite. His personality seemed to be more introverted. After shaking hands, he did not say anything and consciously stood behind his teammates.
Yaoguang's club gave up on him and turned to a newcomer. Perhaps they felt that such a player would not become popular easily?
He would be nervous when he stood in front of the press, and he would only answer, "Yes, yes, that's right …"
However, there were many introverted nerds like Xie Weiyu who were not good at socializing in the eSports industry.
Xu Zhuo asked from the side, "What's your lineup for tomorrow's match? Tell me in advance and I'll ban you. "
Chi Shuo said, "You guys can continue to ban junglers."
Xu Zhuo laughed and said, "Guess who the coach wants to ban the most?"
Chi Shuo was puzzled. "Who?"
Xu Zhuo glanced at Ye Shaoyang and said, "Tianheng – Lieyang. Send your team's player to the ban position, hahaha."
Ye Shaoyang was speechless.
This Captain Xu was really thick-skinned.
But it could be seen that he had a good relationship with Chi Shuo. He could even joke around before the match without any scruples.
The two team leaders quickly checked in. Before anyone could go upstairs, they saw a few familiar faces at the entrance of the hotel.
It was Fang Zhengqing, Xie Yuan, and the others from Jing Zhe's team.
Xu Zhuo greeted them. "Fang, you guys are here too!"
Fang Zhengqing wore a pair of sunglasses and walked with a swagger, like a superstar.
Xie Yuan smiled and came over to greet Xu Zhuo and Chi Shuo. She said, "Jing Zhe's match this week will also be held at the Binghe eSports Center. It will be the next match after your match."
Fang Zhengqing took off his sunglasses and yawned as he said, "You guys are starting at 7 pm, right? Hurry up and finish the match. Don't drag it out. "
In the second stage of the league, there were three matches per day on Saturday and Sunday. 3 pm, 7 pm, and 9 pm.
The regular season was a BO3. If there were 20 matches, the match would end in two matches. If the first 11 matches were tied, there would be a third match to determine the winner. Under normal circumstances, a match would end in about half an hour, and three matches would take about an hour and a half. The match at 7 pm would end before 9 pm. Fang Zhengqing's team's next match would last until 11 pm.
However, in a continuous match like this, accidents could happen sometimes. If Tianheng and Yueying's match was too close, they might not be able to finish after two hours. Then Jing Zhe's next match would have to be delayed …
Xu Zhuo lowered his voice. "If I remember correctly, Jing Zhe's opponent this week is Yaoguang?"
Fang Zhengqing raised his eyebrows. "What are you trying to say?"
Xu Zhuo joked, "Then you better not lose. If you lose, you'll be blacklisted on the hot search list."
Fang Zhengqing pushed up his sunglasses and said, "Do you think we can lose?"
Ye Shaoyang wasn't far from the two of them, so he happened to hear their conversation.
Yaoguang's team had a strange style this year. They were secretly playing dirty tricks by hiring Internet trolls to blacklist Xie Weiyu and Ye Shaoyang. Everyone knew about this.
Chi Shuo looked at Ye Shaoyang and said, "Let's go."
Xu Zhuo shouted from the side, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Don't you want to chat a little longer?"
Chi Shuo said calmly, "We'll chat on the field."
Xu Zhuo said, "Then go back and wash your neck clean. I'll come back later to take your head!"
Xu Zhuo had a forthright personality and always liked to joke around. Chi Shuo didn't mind. He waved at him and led his team members to the hotel to check in.
Ye Shaoyang's room was arranged to be a single room opposite Chi Shuo's.
Chi Shuo handed his backpack to him and said gently, "Go back and have a good rest."
Ye Shaoyang took the backpack and said casually, "The match between Jing Zhe and Yaoguang in Group S is scheduled after yours. Can you guys stay behind to watch it?"
Chi Shuo asked, "You want to watch it?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "Yeah, Yaoguang's new shooter is pretty good. I want to see if he can withstand the pressure of Jing Zhe's lane."
Chi Shuo thought for a moment and said, "Alright, tell the team leader and coach to stay backstage after the match and return to the hotel after watching Jing Zhe's match."
If Chi Shuo said it in front of him, the coach would be more likely to agree. Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "Thank you, Captain Chi."
Chi Shuo smiled. "You're welcome. I want to watch this match too. Go back to your room and rest. Sleep early. "
Ye Shaoyang turned around and opened the door. "Good night, Captain Chi."
The next day, everyone slept until noon. After getting enough energy, they went to the hotel's conference room to connect to their laptops and play some ranked games to keep their hands clean.
After dinner, they walked to the nearby Binghe Esports Center.
There was a sea of people at the venue and there were no empty seats.
Ye Shaoyang still remembered the first time he came to this venue. The auditorium was only about 50% full. Today, it was full. There were banners and posters of all kinds of colors. It was as if it was a celebrity concert.
Today's teams were very popular, especially the two matches in the evening. Tianheng, Yueying, Jing Zhe, and Yaoguang were all top eight players from last season. No wonder the venue was so lively.
Ye Shaoyang followed his teammates to the backstage preparation room.
Soon, two familiar official commentators appeared on the big screen.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Binghe Esports Center. Welcome to the official God Wars Professional League, the first week of the tenth season of the regular season! Tonight, there will be two matches here. At 7 pm, Group A, Tianheng vs Yueying. At 9 pm, Group S, Jing Zhe vs Yaoguang! "
"The players of both teams for the first match are ready. Let's welcome them in with a warm round of applause!"
Yueying's five players went on stage first and entered the soundproof room. Tianheng's five players followed closely behind.
The fans soon realized that the keyboards in their hands had changed. Qin's was blue, jungler and mid lane were black, and bottom lane was bright red.
The bullet screen was immediately flooded with comments — —
Fancy keyboards. Why didn't they change the colors?
They must have changed their sponsors. The keyboards were different from the previous ones.
It should be the Yinlong 77. Captain Chi just bought the black one. It's not bad.
Melancholy blue for top lane, Double Fiend for mid lane, and Fancy for bottom lane?
Hahaha, Tianheng's idiotic family name and colorful keyboards are hilarious.
The fans in the live broadcast room were jeering and making fun of them. Tianheng's five players were calm. They connected their new peripherals to their computers. Then, the audience noticed that Qujiang's and Cheng Xing's keyboards lit up with colorful lights.
Everyone was speechless.
It was blinding!
In order not to affect their teammates, the two of them consciously turned off the lights.
The equipment in the soundproof room was being adjusted. The commentators quickly introduced the players from both teams.
During the second round of the regular season, when each player was introduced, a basic data would appear on the big screen. It was similar to a "player information card". It included KDA score, kill count, MVP number, win rate, and hero pool.
When it was Tianheng's mid lane, Ye Shaoyang's turn, the data on the table caused the audience to scream.
"Tianheng Lieyang, a newcomer in the S10 season. His data panel is beautiful!"
"That's right. His KDA score is above 8 points per game. He has 68 kills. He has won MVP nine times. He is currently ranked first. His win rate is 100%. Of course, Tianheng hasn't lost a single game. All five players have a win rate of 100%. However, Lieyang's hero pool is very deep. There is Abyss Lord, Illusionist, Frost Goddess, Ocean Goddess, Flower Demon … "
"He seems to change heroes every game? I wonder what hero he will take today? "
After the players were introduced one by one, the equipment in the soundproof room was adjusted.
The referee raised his hand to signal the director. The two commentators excitedly said, "Both sides are ready. Let's enter the first round of BP!"
The first round of BP, Tianheng's blue team. Priority ban.
Coach Lin held a notebook and said as he drew, "Ban Shield of Radiant Light."
Qin Yizhu, who was sitting in front of the first computer, did as he was told.
When it was Yueying's turn, everyone thought that Yueying would ban the mid lane or jungler. However, to everyone's surprise, Yueying's first ban was the top lane. He directly banned Qin's most commonly used Black Dragon Knight.
Sure enough, they were going to fight around the top lane.
Tianheng's second ban continued to ban the strong support Doomhammer. Yueying banned Paladin.
Paladin could go top lane and be a support. It could also be used by Chi Shuo as a jungler to protect his teammates. This ban broke many of Tianheng's protection systems, but this way …
The mid laner and jungler were all released!
The commentator said in surprise, "Yueying is really daring. He released both mid laners and junglers!"
"They probably have a special tactical arrangement? The first round of BP is only targeted at the top lane. Qin might give them priority to break through. "
"Yes. After all, Captain Xu's top laner is very strong. It seems that Yueying will focus on the top lane in this round. "
In the first round, they would ban two players and choose three players each. The choice of position would also depend on the competition between the two coaches. Because if you don't choose in the first round, you might be targeted in the second round.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Take the top and bottom lane first. The mid laner will be last."
He was very confident in Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang's hero pools. Even if the opponent continued to ban the mid laner in the second round, they didn't need to worry. But if they didn't take the top lane, Qin might be targeted to death.
On the first floor of Tianheng's team, they chose the top lane Steel Body.
This was also a hero that Qin was more familiar with. It had high defense and could withstand beatings. At least, it wouldn't be solo killed.
When it was Yueying's turn, they directly chose the bottom lane Machine Gun Hunter and Mechanic Expert.
Tianheng followed closely with the bottom lane Forest Messenger and Holy Spirit Archer. Yueying's third choice was the top lane hero Kung Fu Master.
"Kung Fu Master!" The commentator said excitedly. "This is also one of Captain Xu's famous heroes. His ability to carry is very strong, he has many displacement skills, and his big moves can automatically recover health. He's a very difficult hero to kill."
"Both sides left the mid laner and jungler to enter the second round. Let's see how the coaches will deal with it."
In the first round, both sides tacitly chose the top and bottom lane. The mid laner didn't choose either.
In the second round, they would definitely target the mid laner and jungler crazily.
Tian Huan banned [Frost Goddess] and [Saint Necromancer], two midlaners who could play as tools.
Yueying banned Stealth Thief and Lord of the Abyss, one jungler and one mid laner.
Tianheng quickly locked on to the heroes —
The fourth floor locked on the jungler Succubus, and the fifth floor locked on the mid laner Nightmare.
The two commentators looked at each other excitedly. "The Nakano Combined Combo?!"
"That's right. This is the Nakano Combined Combo that was popular for a period of time in the S6 season. The mid laner jungler is a double thorn. Although it's a little fragile, it's very, very fierce!"
"Is this the rhythm of the early game?"
The netizens in the livestream were also excited.
F * ck, Captain Chi's thorn has been revealed. He finally stopped playing as a tool! [tears.jpg]
These two heroes had been nerfed before. They weren't as strong as S6, but they could still cooperate well.
The Nakano Combined Combo! Tianheng hadn't taken the best system in Group B yet. Now it's here!
| Yue Yin considered for a while and chose [Pugilist] as the jungler and [Storm Goddess] as the midlaner.
The lineups of both sides were finally decided.
On Tianheng's side, Succubus, Nightmare, and the Nakano Combined Combo would lead the rhythm. The bottom lane would heal + late game archer, and the top lane would resist pressure.
Yueying would use Kung Fu Master to lead the top lane. The mid lane and jungler would control the tool, and the bottom lane would push the tower.
One side would fight with you, and the other side would push the tower quickly.
In Group A, the competition between the two teams from the BP stage was full of gunpowder.
