Ye Shaoyang returned backstage after the match. The reporter who accompanied the team excitedly put the microphone to his mouth and said, "Congratulations to Lieyang for defeating the Japanese player in 20/20 and winning the first match of the group stage. It's a good start for the Chinese team!"
Ye Shaoyang nodded politely to the reporter and said, "Thank you."
The reporter said, "We noticed that you played very smoothly in today's match. You seemed to know Takuya Kiriyama very well and even guessed where he was hiding many times. Did you do your homework in advance?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "Yes, Captain Chi helped me investigate Tong Shan's information. He even helped me practice with him and simulated my match with Tong Shan. Captain Chi is also very good at assassinating heroes. I learned a lot about assassinating heroes in PvP matches with him. For example, using a Shadow Warlock to fight a Stealthed Thief is a strategy that we have repeatedly tested. "
The reporter was a little surprised. "So, Captain Chi also worked as your practice partner while he was abroad this time?"
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "Yes, he also helped Xiao Xing analyze the opponent and gave us a lot of experience in individual matches. He's kind of the strategist behind the scenes for Xiao Xing and me."
In the preparation room backstage, everyone looked at Chi Shuo.
Chi Shuo looked calm, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Chairman Qiu smiled and said, "Lieyang is praising you like crazy."
Chi Shuo said, "I just helped him analyze the opponent. The key to winning against Takuya Kiriyama was the details of his operation and his on-the-spot reaction."
Zhou Jiawen joked, "You two keep praising each other. It's a pity that we don't have a practice partner."
Xie Weiyu whispered, "Captain Zhou, why don't we practice with each other?"
Zhou Jiawen said, "Good idea!"
The reporter's interview was still being broadcasted on the screen. The reporter asked Ye Shaoyang, "Yangyang, are you confident about the upcoming match? Do you think you have a good chance of advancing from the group stage? "
Ye Shaoyang replied, "Of course I'm confident. It's hard to say whether I can advance from the group stage, but I'll do my best."
After the interview, Ye Shaoyang came to the preparation room. Chairman Qiu applauded him. "Well played!"
Zhou Jiawen, Xie Weiyu, and the others also came forward to congratulate him.
Ye Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "It's just winning the group stage match."
Chairman Qiu said, "Don't be humble....."
Everyone went back to the hotel for the evening's match. for the match...
Zhou Jias Translation. Zhou Zhou Zhou Jiawen and Zhou Translation at Zhou Jiawen and Zhou: Xie and Zhou Jiawen and Zhou Zhou Both and and Zhou Translation Translation Translation And's and Translation Translation Translation Translation was Translation at at 10.
There were only two official commentators who came to Korea with the team. Zhou Jiawen's and Xie Weiyu's matches were at the same time, so they could not take care of both. In the end, Chairman Qiu decided to let Mumu and Brother Dong commentate Xie Weiyu's match live, while Zhou Jiawen's match would be broadcasted by the Chinese commentators. Tomorrow, the two of them would still be competing at the same time, so they would switch places.
Ye Shaoyang was watching the match in the preparation room. Xie Weiyu performed very well and won with 21 points, while Zhou Jiawen won with 20 points.
At 10 PM, Cheng Xing's first opponent in Group H was Mitchell from the North American region.
Little Xing was a little nervous before he went on stage. The smile on his face was forced and his fists were clenched tightly. After all, it was his first time overseas and he was still young, so it was inevitable that he would be nervous.
Chi Shuo gently patted his disciple's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Mitchell's playing style is fierce. You have to stay calm and try your best to wear him down and kite him. Don't fight him head-on."
Ye Shaoyang also came over to cheer Little Xing on. "Don't think too much and don't care about the result. Just play to your best. Your master and I will be cheering for you backstage."
Cheng Xing looked up and met the encouraging gazes of his master and Brother Yang. He took a deep breath and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will play well!" With these two people backing him up, he had nothing to be afraid of!
Anyway, the main purpose of this overseas competition was to accumulate experience. He did not expect to win the championship. As Brother Yang said, it was enough to play to his best.
Cheng Xing walked up to the big stage with his chest puffed out.
Mitchell was not familiar with Little Xing, but he knew that this newcomer was from the Tianhuan Squad. The similar ID "Starlight" reminded him of the time when his team's newcomers, Angus and Allan, were beaten to tears by Sunshine and Moonlight in the international server. Well, it was time to avenge his team's newcomers!
Of course, Mitchell would not show mercy. In the first round, he chose his personal hero, "Day Mage". He played as a Mage like a Warrior and was very fierce. Cheng Xing was attacked by him at close range and lost 1 HP.
The rhythm of the game was completely controlled by Mitchell. Although Cheng Xing fought back tenaciously, he was unable to turn the tables and lost the first round.
In the second round, Cheng Xing chose the agile archer, "Wind Elf". He patiently dealt with Mitchell and took advantage of the opportunity to attack Mitchell with his skill, "Berserk". He unexpectedly took Mitchell's kill!
Mitchell had played too aggressively, and Cheng Xing had seized the opportunity to turn the tables.
The score was tied at 11. Mitchell found that this newcomer from Tianhuan Squad was more difficult to deal with than he thought. In the third round, he was more cautious and chose an agile assassin. He showed off his positioning and control and finally won the game in 15 minutes.
Cheng Xing was not upset by the result. He had expected that he would lose. After all, Mitchell was a world-class player and was on par with Shao Shao and his master.
Cheng Xing smiled happily when he returned to the backstage. "I won at least one round. I won't be as embarrassing as 02!"
Ye Shaoyang looked at the little guy's energetic appearance and said with relief, "That's right. Mitchell is the fiercest mid laner in the North American region. It's very good that you can take one round from him."
Cheng Xing nodded. "Yes, yes. I learned a lot from today's game. I'll go back and look for the coach to review it slowly."
The first day of the competition ended.
There were four contestants in the Chinese region. Three won and one lost.
Although Cheng Xing lost the game in the end, most of the public opinion in China still supported him. After all, he was a newcomer. It was already very impressive that he could advance from the outer bracket. It was unrealistic for him to win against Mitchell.
Cheng Xing's Weibo was full of fans cheering for him. Of course, some anti-fans took the opportunity to scold him, but they were all blocked by Cheng Xing. He clicked on the # Sunmoon Shine Together and found that the CP fans were indeed celebrating.
"My family, did you watch today's interview? I hit the jackpot again.
Captain Chi went to Korea to be Yangyang's practice partner!
Captain Chi is so warm. Sob, can I move the Civil Affairs Bureau to a hotel for them?
If the Sunmoon CP releases stocks, I'll definitely become rich! "
Cheng Xing silently gave these comments a thumbs up. Brother Yang was very strong. With Chi Shuo's accumulated experience in the individual competition, Cheng Xing had a feeling that Brother Yang might be able to win this year's World Invitational Tournament!
At that time, the Sunmoon CP would be the love between the S6 and S10 champions?
He wanted to put the word "compatible" on the public chat!
The next day, Ye Shaoyang faced Plaka, a top laner from the African region.
In Ye Shaoyang's previous world, the African eSports standard was very poor. Most of the African countries had limited access to computers, and the number of eSports players was pitifully small. However, the economic standard of this world was generally higher. The teams in the African region were not weak, and the League of Divinity Pro League was also doing very well.
His opponent today was the top laner of the African region's top team in the regular season.
Chi Shuo had searched for information on him last night. Unfortunately, the African region did not have the habit of posting match recordings on the official website. All Chi Shuo could find were some comments about him online, saying that he played well as a Warrior.
There was no information about his opponent in this match, so Ye Shaoyang could only rely on improvisation.
In theory, it was very difficult for a Mage to win against a Warrior. This was because Mage's combo could not kill a Warrior, but a Warrior's combo could easily kill a low-health Mage. Only in the later stages, when the Mage was equipped and the Warrior did not use any defensive equipment, could it be possible to kill the opponent instantly.
Therefore, Ye Shaoyang did not choose Mage's Stab in this match.
In the first round, he chose Moonlight Mage, a hero with an extremely long attack range. This was the hero he had used with Qujiang when they were working together. It could rely on normal attacks to deal damage, and its big move could shoot Moonblade, dealing extremely long range damage in a straight line.
Plaka chose Warrior Will of the Sword and Blade. Although his burst was high, his attack range was short. Ye Shaoyang chose this extremely long range POKE Mage hero, so that he could stand in a safe position and fight a battle of attrition with his opponent.
In the first round, Ye Shaoyang did not come out of the tower.
He stood at the bottom of the tower, clearing troops from afar, shooting, and draining his opponent's health. Plaka had just cleared a wave of troops when Ye Shaoyang's Moonblade swept him to low health.
Ye Shaoyang moved like a snake, and the Moonblade from his staff was like an earth-shattering rainstorm. Plaka could not avoid it, and would often be swept to low health, forcing him to return to the base to recover.
After a few waves of troops returning home, the financial gap between the two of them quickly widened.
Yao Mu noticed Ye Shaoyang's strategy and said, "Yangyang's strategy for fighting a Warrior today is very clear. He wants to use a long hero to drain the opponent's energy, forcing the opponent to return home, and then block the troops... He's playing a strategy!"
Brother Dong praised, "That's right. In the individual competition, other than killing three people, you can also push the opponent's crystal! When you meet a Warrior and it's hard to kill the opponent, pushing the crystal is a very good choice for a strategy. Lieyang's thinking is very rational. "
On the screen, Lieyang's Moonlight Mage once again used a big move. Ye Shaoyang moved back and forth like a snake, taking Plaka down to low health again. Plaka had no choice but to return home.
Plaka was having a hard time fighting. When he returned to the line again, he could not take it anymore and simply blinked over to try and kill Ye Shaoyang. In the end... seeing that Moonlight Mage's health was low, Ye Shaoyang used a "Lesser Healing" to heal himself.
When Yao Mu saw this, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Yangyang is bringing a healing skill this round!"
Brother Dong said, "Yes, he did not bring Blink or Purify, but he brought a [Heal]. His equipment is also magic lifesteal equipment, and his endurance is very high. He wants to drain the enemy's energy and strategy to the end!"
Yao Mu said, "If Africa's Plaka understands our Lieyang's style, he should realize that he has already written 'Come and hit me, can't you kill me' on his face!"
This sentence made the Chinese livestream viewers send out a series of bullet screen comments.
Lieyang's classic triple combo: "Come and hit me! You can't kill me, right? You can't catch me, right?
Amazing, this is the first time I've seen a Mage with a healer!
There's nothing Lieyang doesn't dare to do. What's the point of him bringing a healer? Even if he brings a Retribution to the jungle one day, I won't be surprised! "
Brother Dong said, "Jumping towers to kill Lieyang will not end well. In the early game, a Warrior can theoretically one-shot a low-health Mage, but a Mage with a healing skill can heal himself at a critical moment. If you don't deal enough damage, you will be killed instead. "
Yao Mu smiled and said, "Looks like our international friends do not understand our Lieyang's style well enough."
Plaka was unusually depressed.
His gaming experience was terrible.
He had never met such a difficult mid laner in the African region!
If you don't one-shot the other side, the other side will take advantage of the time when you are clearing troops to strafe and deplete your health. They will cripple you and force you to go back home.
But if you go one-shot the other side, he has a healing skill and he even has a Vampire Scroll!
Vampire Scroll was the Mage's strongest life-saving equipment. The spell damage dealt was proportional to the amount of health lost. If you were on the brink of death, you could almost recover to full health with a big move.
And Moonlight Mage's normal attacks were all spell damage. With a Vampire Scroll, he did not even need to use a big move. Continuous normal attacks could also replenish his health. As long as he was not one-shot, he could quickly recover to full health and did not need to go back home.
As the battle went on, Plaka's outer tower was gone.
Unknowingly, the inner tower was also destroyed.
Ye Shaoyang's control of the army line was very good. Praka only missed a wave of soldiers, and Ye Shaoyang was able to snowball them. In the later stages, Ye Shaoyang's economy directly crushed them. Praka's soldiers had short arms, and could not clear the entire army line. Hence, Ye Shaoyang led the soldiers to clear the crystal.
Plaka: "…"
This uncomfortable feeling was as if his IQ was being crushed?
In the second round, he chose a Berserker who was stronger at cutting people. When he activated Berserk, he could quickly kill the weak Mage, even if the other side had a healer.
In the end, Ye Shaoyang chose a Lord of the Abyss to play against him.
Then, Plaka deeply understood what a nightmare was — shadows. There were shadows everywhere. If you wanted to cut his body, he would quickly switch positions with the shadows. There was no way to cut him!
Ye Shaoyang personally demonstrated what was called "Triangle Switch" in the international competition.
His control of shadows was very exquisite.
It could quickly clear troops, switch positions to escape, and could also instantly surround and kill the opponent.
Plaka fought a Lord of the Abyss who had summoned three shadows. The other side had four segments of displacement and moved like the wind. It was difficult to catch him. Often, when Plaka activated Berserk and rushed forward, the other side would easily switch positions and move to his side, letting the shadows surround him instead. In the blink of an eye, the mark had reached seven layers!
There was no way to see how he had done it.
When many players played Lord of the Abyss, they might have to calculate the order of combos. Ye Shaoyang was already very familiar with this hero. He did not need to think about the dozens of combos.
Praka was hit by the three shadows, he could not even touch the corner of his clothes.
In the end, Ye Shaoyang relied on extreme control to show off Plaka and took the lead in getting three kills!
Group C's second round, Sunshine won!
At the competition venue, the Korean audience also noticed the live broadcast of Group C's match. When Lieyang won the match with 20 points, many people curiously discussed with their friends. "This Lord of the Abyss is too good! Who is Sunshine? "" He seems to be a newbie? "
Backstage, Pu Yuanxi, who was drinking tea and resting while watching the live broadcast of the individual competition, narrowed his eyes and said, "This Lord of the Abyss, Sunshine, from Group C is not bad. He should be Sunshine from the international server, right? I remember that he has a partner called Moonlight. It's the name of a couple. "
Cui He said, "Yes, we all know Moonlight. He's the captain of the Tianhuan Squad, Chi Shuo. Sunshine is the new mid laner of the Tianhuan Squad this year. His name is Tianheng Lieyang. "
Pu Yuanxi was a little surprised. "He's a newbie?"
"That's right. Back then, Mitchell posted three videos in the group. They were all videos of their international matches. From the videos, Sunshine doesn't look like a newbie, but he did debut in the S10 season. I've seen his information before. He's currently the player with the most number of MVP awards in the Chinese server. He even used Lord of the Abyss to get a pentakill. "
Cui He paused for a moment and turned to look at his teammate. He sneered and added, "The reporters and fans in the Hua Nation region all say that he is the most talented rookie in recent years. There are even many people who compare him to you … In my opinion, it's only because the Hua Nation region is weaker overall that he can stand out, right? Compared to you, he's a far cry. "
Pu Yuanxi smiled and said calmly, "It's true that the Chinese server has never won the World Team Championship. Their overall strength is not as good as ours. They've won two Singles Championships, but it's very difficult for a mid laner to play in the Singles Championship. I think this Lieyang will at most make it to the top eight. Or maybe the top four. "
Cui He agreed. "Yes, it won't be a problem for him to make it to the next round. He's already won two matches."
In Group C, Ye Shaoyang won two matches in a row and secured a spot in the top 16.
The next night, Zhou Jiawen and Xie Weiyu both won 21 matches. Cheng Xing met Vanessa in Group H. He had a good impression of this beauty with curly blonde hair, but he was crushed in the match.
Cheng Xing, who lost in 02, was a little depressed. Ye Shaoyang comforted him. "She's the best jungler in the European server this season. It's not embarrassing to lose to her."
Cheng Xing nodded obediently. "Yes, I'll be extra careful when I meet her in the World Championships."
On the third day of the World Invitational Tournament, Ye Shaoyang met a weaker player in Group C and won more easily than the previous two days. Zhou Jiawen also won a match in a row. Xie Weiyu lost a match, and Cheng Xing won a match, which was rare.
After three days of Group C, Ye Shaoyang made it to the top 16 with a record of winning all the matches in Group C. Zhou Jiawen and Xie Weiyu also made it to the top 16, and Cheng Xing was eliminated.
Many anti-fans in China mocked him. "Congratulations to Tianheng Fanxing for the first round of the Singles Championship!" "Is Cheng Xing going to Korea for a vacation?"
Cheng Xing calmly said on Weibo, "I'm going there for a vacation to broaden my horizons!"
He had expected to be eliminated in the group stage. Group H was also a group of death. There were two world-class players, Mitchell and Vanessa. Only the top two in the group could make it to the top 16. Of course, Cheng Xing would not be qualified.
Rational netizens also expressed their encouragement for Cheng Xing. He had made it to the World Singles Championship from the wild card area. There were three matches in the group stage, 12, 02, and 21. With one win and two losses, Cheng Xing's performance was already very outstanding.
From the fourth day onwards, it was the intense and exciting elimination stage.
Zhou Jiawen was first in Group E and met Umekawa Ichiro, a Japanese player from Group F. Xie Weiyu was second in Group G and met Mitchell, who was first in Group H.
Ye Shaoyang was first in Group C and made it to the top 16 in the elimination stage. His opponent was the second in Group D, a player from Thailand called Bangui.
Chi Shuo was very familiar with Bangui. He accompanied Ye Shaoyang throughout the night to look for information, practice matches, and look for ideas. The two of them studied until 2 AM. The next morning, they woke up to practice the details of PK.
Ye Shaoyang came to the competition venue full of confidence.
Ye Shaoyang encountered some trouble at the beginning of the game. His opponent seized the opportunity. When both sides had a score of 22, Banji suddenly launched a sneak attack and killed Ye Shaoyang once without warning. He took the lead by getting three kills and led by 10.
Obviously, while Ye Shaoyang was studying his opponent, his opponent was also studying him.
In the group stage, Ye Shaoyang brought out a lot of heroes and won all of them. He also became the dark horse of the Singles Championship that the representatives of various countries paid attention to. It was normal for his match recordings to be studied repeatedly.
In the second round, Ye Shaoyang changed his strategy and brought out Shadow Warlock again to fight against his opponent's Stealth Thief. He dragged his opponent to death and equalized the score.
In the final round, Ye Shaoyang brought out Illusionist unexpectedly and used a fast-paced explosive style. He quickly took three kills and ended the match in 13 minutes.
21 wins!
When Yao Mu saw the match on the big screen, she said excitedly, "Congratulations to Lieyang for winning the match at 21! Lieyang won the elimination round of the top 16 once again. He has entered the top eight of the Singles Championship of the World League! "
Brother Dong was also a little excited. "Lieyang has been in a very good state for the past few days. His mentality is also very stable when he plays. Although he didn't start well today and lost a small point, he adjusted very quickly and won two rounds in a row. 21. He won the match without any mishaps!"
Yao Mu said, "According to the arrangement of the competition schedule, in the next round of 8 to 4, Blazing Sun's opponent will be chosen from the winners of Group G and Group H's 16 to 8! It will either be Xie Weiyu or Mitchell. "
Brother Dong said, "The match between Xie Weiyu and Mitchell will be broadcasted live at 7 o'clock tonight. I look forward to the exciting match between the two of them!"
At 7 o'clock that night, Ye Shaoyang also came to the venue to watch the match between Xiao Yu and Mitchell.
Firstly, Xiao Yu was his best friend. Secondly, the winner of their match would be his opponent in the next match.
Although he hoped that Xiao Yu would win, he also knew that Mitchell's ability as the number one mid laner in North America was not to be underestimated. In a one-on-one battle between a mage and an archer, the archer would be at a disadvantage. In the early stages, the archer's basic attacks basically did no damage. In the later stages, the archer's burst of Magic Spike could instantly kill the archer. The archer's survival environment would be very difficult.
However, Xie Weiyu's tenacity exceeded expectations. In the first round, Mitchell won with great difficulty. He fought until the last 18 minutes before he seized the opportunity to kill Xie Weiyu with a set of Magic Spike and obtained the victory condition of three kills.
In the second round, Xie Weiyu brought out Sharpshooter and continuously sniped from a very long distance. Mitchell was very annoyed. In the end, he won by clearing troops and pushing the tower, turning the score to 11.
Mitchell was surprised to find that the overall strength of the Chinese archers seemed to have greatly improved. Whether it was Little Star, who he met in the group stage, or Xie Weiyu, who he met in the round of 16, they were getting harder to kill.
It was probably because the two bosses of the Sun and Moon Mid Wilderness had appeared in the Chinese region that the archers' survival environment was getting more and more difficult. These archers from the Chinese region were all very good at escaping!
Mitchell wanted to kill Xie Weiyu alone, but it was not that easy. When it came to the deciding round, he almost lost. In the end, Mitchell relied on his rich experience in competitions and grasped the right timing to flash and insta-kill Xie Weiyu, winning the deciding round.
Mitchell advanced to the top 8.
His next opponent was Tianheng Lieyang.
Mitchell excitedly ran backstage to greet Ye Shaoyang. "I'll be back for the match with you tomorrow. Solo kill in the mid lane!" Ye Shaoyang said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
After he left, Xie Weiyu smiled and whispered, "Yangyang, this Mitchell, why do I feel like he's a little stupid? All he thinks about is killing and killing. "
Ye Shaoyang chuckled and nodded. "Yes, I killed him once. He must kill me twice to make up for it."
Next door, Zhou Jiawen also lost in the round of 16. The Japanese Warriors were very calm and sharp. When the Mages were at the same level, it was not a big deal for them to lose.
Captain Zhou was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "Sigh, we only have Yangyang left in the Chinese region."
Chairman Qiu did not want to pressure Ye Shaoyang, but among the top 8, Ye Shaoyang was the only one left in the Chinese region. The North American region had Mitchell and Lambert, Japan's Umekawa Ichiro, Europe's Vanessa, Korea's Kim Min-joon, and Han Chengyu. There was no one in the African region, and the Latin American region had Kellogg...
These were all top players. In the round of 8, Ye Shaoyang still had a chance of winning against Mitchell. But what about the round of 4? What about the finals?
Chairman Qiu did not dare to have any extravagant hopes. He only hoped that Lieyang could learn from this year's competition and play well in the playoffs when they returned to China. If they could improve the strength of Tianheng, this trip would not be in vain.
At this time, Chairman Qiu did not know that Ye Shaoyang's goal had always been to win the world championship trophy in the center of the stage. The individual round was very difficult. Assassins and Warriors were the nemesis of Mages.
However, Ye Shaoyang was not discouraged by this. On the contrary, he was an iron-headed person who became more and more courageous as the battle went on. The more difficult it was, the more it aroused his desire to win.
He wanted to take back the S10 individual championship trophy and put it together with Chi Shuo's S6 championship trophy.
Jing Zhe and Bei Mu were both world champions.
Tian Huan also needed to win two championships. Only then would it be considered complete.
