On the day of the match between Gourd and Origin.
The match was held in a dedicated venue. The overall style was the same as before, very simple.
Outside of the venue, there were all sorts of spectators and reporters waiting for the results of the match.
Although Gourd was fighting on behalf of humans, he was still representing his own country first, and humanity second.
There were many Warcraft players in the venue, as well as fans of Gourd. These people were cheering for Gourd as he entered the venue. It was obvious from Gourd's expression that he was under a lot of pressure.
These people weren't allowed into the venue, but there was a TV outside of the venue, allowing everyone to watch the live stream.
Chen Mo, Li Jingsi, and Goph all came as well, causing quite a commotion in the crowd. They sat down after signing their autographs.
The atmosphere in the venue quickly became tense as the match was about to begin.
Goph looked calm on the surface, but he wasn't too sure either, "I wonder if his strategy will work."
Li Jingsi looked at the screen and said, "The strategy has a chance of success, but it's up to Gourd to bring out everything he's prepared."
The script was well written, but it was hard to say if Origin would be able to cooperate.
…
The match between Gourd and Origin had officially begun!
As soon as the first round of the competition began, everyone's heart thumped.
Far away on the map!
This wasn't good news. Far away meant that Origin wouldn't be able to suppress Origin in the early game. TR-strategy wouldn't work at all, and the match would drag into the late game.
At that time, Origin would definitely be able to gain an advantage in the chaotic battle.
On the screen, Gourd's expression was also very serious as he stared at his screen, not daring to blink too much.
Since it was difficult to gain an advantage in the early game, Gourd decided to do the opposite and started mining. Every time he opened a mine, Gourd would erect many arrow towers, obviously trying to play dirty.
This tactic did have an immediate effect. Origin gave up after trying to break through the arrow towers a few times and failing to do so.
This allowed Gourd to enter the mid game with a slight advantage.
"This is going to work! The God of Gourd really came prepared. Even Origin couldn't break through the Arrow Tower! "
"Nonsense, the arrow tower's arrows are fully automatic. It doesn't matter if you're an artificial intelligence or not, no matter how good you are at operating it, it'll still fire."
"This is the first time I'm glad that the human race has something like arrow towers …"
Hope was ignited in the audience. However, the experts' faces were filled with worry.
Li Jingsi sighed softly. "Not really."
Goph also said, "Sigh, but the big map is too far away, so this is the only way. What else can we do? There are other ways to die faster. "
Chen Mo knew very well that Gourd's choice could help him last until the end of the game, but the problem was that if he could last until the end of the game, he wouldn't be able to win a group battle with 100 people!
You want to compete with Origin in a team battle with a full population? Are you kidding me? Even if its APM was limited, it would still be able to beat humans.
As for the economic suppression caused by the rapid mining that many people were looking forward to, it did not appear at all.
This was because … Origin decided to stop after determining that it couldn't get past the arrow tower, and went to mine instead!
"This Origin … What the f * ck, isn't that Chaotic Ore Flow? Why is it playing Chaotic Ore Flow too? "
"This position, what a cunning choice. The god Gourd doesn't even know about it."
"Maybe Gourd thinks that the number of mines he has is his advantage, but that's not the case. Both sides have the same number of mines!"
When they saw that Origin was also going to mine, and that they were going to use Chaotic Ore Flow, the audience was not happy.
In the middle of the game, the audience finally realized that although both sides had the same number of mines and economy, every time there was a small conflict, it seemed that Gourd was the one losing out!
This time he lost a few soldiers, and the next time he lost a few arrow towers. Although it wasn't obvious, the difference was slowly increasing.
In the final battle, both sides had full population, but this was where the difference in control became apparent. Gourd's population was dropping faster than Origin's. In the end, after the archmage died, Gourd had no choice but to type GG and quit the game.
At the same time, Origin replied with a "GG" without any delay.
This artificial intelligence was quite polite …
But this didn't make the audience feel any better.
"Sigh, too bad we can't win the team battle."
"But the gap is smaller than the two matches with Starlight. If we keep fighting, maybe we can win?"
"Sigh, the small gap this time is only because everyone is playing against each other in the early stages. Gourd is playing dirty, but it still can't beat Origin.
Ah, it's just stalling for time. "
"Yeah, it's a slow death. It's so hopeless … Since the middle of the game, I feel like I can't win every team battle. If I were the god Gourd, I would've died a long time ago …"
"Maybe this is the pride of a professional player. Let's hope luck is on the humans' side next time … "
…
As the audience sighed, the second round of the game began after the break.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the location this time.
Big map, closer!
This was the best position for the Terran's TR strategy! This was because the distance between the two players on the big map was much closer than a normal two-player map. The closer the two players were, the more advantageous it would be for the human TR strategy!
"Gourd's pathfinder farmer went in an anti-clockwise direction and found the location of Origin's base. Closer!"
"Finally, the long-awaited TR strategy is here! The god Gourd did not hesitate at all. Knock on the militia! "
"He's playing with his life!"
Obviously, Gourd's current situation was already a blessing from the God of Luck. If the big map was further away, Gourd might not even have the confidence to fight to the end of the game.
After realizing that it was closer, Gourd knocked on the militia and prepared a TR strategy!
Origin's reaction was very fast. According to its original plan, the Demon Hunter was supposed to go and train, so it followed the normal opening. But when it saw Gourd's pathfinder farmer, it immediately canceled its leveling plan!
Its own pathfinder elf did not see Gourd's location, but it was obvious that Gourd's farmer would be able to reach its base at this time, so it must be closer!
"F * ck! Isn't Origin's reaction too fast and decisive? "
"And I don't see any hesitation from them? Obviously, they have a way to deal with TR, right? "
