The audience's hearts were in their throats!
Sweet Potato's Archmage led the militia to the Elves' home and started knocking down the arrow towers in front of the Elves' home. Since Sweet Potato had been building low-level units, it looked like the humans had the upper hand. The scene of several arrow towers being knocked down at the same time was very shocking.
"There's hope! Sweet Potato has the advantage in numbers. Even if all the soldiers die, as long as they can keep the arrow towers up, everything will be fine! "
"Now that Origin is completely blocked in their home, let's see how it handles this!"
"Origin's Demon Hunter has returned as soon as possible. The Ancient War Trees planted outside are also moving back, and Little Elf has started building Ancient Guardians!"
"Origin's response is very good. They didn't follow their previous plan, but chose to build more Moon Wells, replenish their troops, and even went to the mercenary shop to buy mercenaries!"
"The Demon Hunter has leveled up to level two by killing the farmers, and upgraded it to Fire Circle! This is bad, Sweet Potato's defense towers haven't been upgraded yet! "
"F * ck, this Demon Hunter's positioning. This ring of fire burns the sweet potatoes so disgustingly!"
"Go Sweet Potato!"
Obviously, Origin did not panic like other human players when faced with a TR. Instead, it acted as if it was a very normal strategy, and followed it step by step.
Most Elven players would level up the Demon Hunter's Evasion when facing a TR, as it could better reduce the damage taken. However, Origin did not do that. It chose to use Sacrifice (commonly known as Fire Circle) because its positioning was so insane that it could keep chasing and burning as many Peasants as possible!
The further they fought, the worse Sweet Potato's situation became.
Although the human TR was good at close range against the Elves, it was obviously not a sure-win strategy. Otherwise, if the human and Elven players encountered each other in close range, there would be no need to fight. They could just declare the human the winner.
The human TR was a desperate fight at the expense of their economy and development. However, if they did not succeed, it would become more and more difficult to fight.
After the first few waves of attacks failed to defeat Origin, Sweet Potato's situation became more and more critical. A few arrow towers were forced to retreat, and some were forcibly demolished.
The TR did not give Sweet Potato any advantage in the early stages!
Halfway through, Chen Mo shook his head regretfully.
Li Jingsi and Goph also sighed softly.
Obviously, Sweet Potato had no chance of winning.
The strategy itself was correct, but there was still the problem of mentality and mechanics!
In terms of mechanics, Origin's mechanics were indeed good, but even after limiting the APM, it still wasn't able to completely crush the humans. The key was the problem of mentality.
Origin was an artificial intelligence with no emotions, but Sweet Potato was different. After the first wave of TR was blocked, he started to panic. Every time he made a mistake, Origin would take advantage of it.
As time went on, Sweet Potato's maneuvering became more and more chaotic, and Origin's attacks became fiercer and fiercer.
In the end, as the last tower in front of Origin was torn down, he helplessly typed GG.
On the screen, Sweet Potato's expression was the same as Starlight's. However, Sweet Potato looked even more upset. After all, he was not the only one who had failed. This strategy was developed by Li Jingsi, Goph, and a few other experts in the country.
Losing under such circumstances, other than feeling a deep sense of powerlessness, Sweet Potato also somewhat blamed himself.
What if he could stabilize his mentality?
What if his hand speed was a little faster?
But these assumptions were not valid.
…
In the post-match press conference, Sweet Potato didn't say as much as Starlight did. He only bowed to everyone, "I'm sorry, I tried my best!"
Tears welled up in many people's eyes. They could tell that Sweet Potato really wanted to win, and gave it his all, but he couldn't win.
Sometimes competitive games were like this. Although there were a lot of unwillingness, a loss was a loss. No matter how you tried to explain it, it was just an excuse.
Sweet Potato's loss made everyone who was watching the battle between humans and machines very worried.
Many people comforted each other. Don't worry, we still have Goph. The strongest Orc and King of the Frontline hasn't played yet!
But what they didn't know was that Goph himself felt that Sweet Potato had a higher chance of winning this battle!
Because Goph's advantage was in direct play. While this was an advantage against other human players, against Origin … it didn't count!
Moreover, he was playing Orcs.
Although the players hadn't lost hope, and were still hoping that Goph would be able to face Origin, there was an atmosphere of despair in the Warcraft pro player community.
If the strategy that Gourd and his group of professional players came up with was defeated 2: 0, then who else could beat Origin, even if it was just a little bit?
…
Inside the experience store.
Nightwind and the others were comforting Sweet Potato.
"Don't be too sad, you tried your best. It's an AI after all."
"Yeah, the despair we went through was something that all the other pro players have already experienced. It's not a big deal, losing doesn't mean anything, the sky isn't falling."
That being said, no one felt good in their hearts.
After all, they still hoped that humans could win.
Sweet Potato raised his head, "Actually, I think there's nothing wrong with the strategy. The problem is that my hand speed isn't good enough. However, perhaps a stronger human would be able to win? "
Nightwind had a pained look on his face, "Bro, you're the best human in the world, who else could it be?"
Sweet Potato looked at him, "Did you forget about the previous match? Did someone draw arrow towers on the map when he played against you? "
Nightwind was speechless.
He had recalled the bad memories again!
But Nightwind did realize that there was still Chen Mo!
However, no one had much of a reaction when they heard Chen Mo's name.
Goph said, "Chen Mo does have the strength, but … when we asked him privately, he said he didn't want to play."
"Why?" Sweet Potato was confused.
Li Jingsi explained, "It's the same reason why he stopped playing the ladder. The reason he played the ladder before was to promote Warcraft, not because he wanted to be the best. He thinks that fighting against AI should be left to the pro players. "
Goph added, "I think another important reason is that he doesn't have the confidence to win. Of course, that's just my imagination …"
Everyone was speechless.
Sweet Potato said helplessly, "What do we do then? Should we go talk to him? "
Goph said, "I'm afraid we'll have to think of a better reason."
Everyone went silent again. Yeah, what reason?
For all of humanity? That seemed a bit ridiculous.
The biggest benefit of beating Origin was fame, but Chen Mo didn't seem to be interested in that.
Li Jingsi said after a bit of thought, "I have an idea."
"Oh?" Everyone was excited, "What is it?"
Li Jingsi sent Chen Mo a message.
"They want you to fight against Origin."
Chen Mo quickly replied, "I'm not going."
Li Jingsi then replied, "They said that the reason why Origin is so invincible is because of your balance. The elves are too strong, that's why you can't beat them."
