This time, Kaiser and Nightwind were invited to commentate, while Goph, Gourd, and Li Jingsi stayed to watch the final match.
This was the final match because everyone knew that if Chen Mo lost again, then no one would be able to beat Origin in Warcraft.
"Can he do it?"
"I don't know."
"Watch carefully."
The three of them didn't talk much, and Chen Mo couldn't hear them no matter how much they discussed. Moreover, Chen Mo might not even use the tactics they discussed.
Chen Mo was the designer of Warcraft, so he must have a unique understanding of the game. As the creator of many genres, Chen Mo might have some tricks up his sleeves.
Everyone was waiting to see what would happen!
A game loading screen appeared on the big screen. Random Race vs Elves!
The crowd was in an uproar!
"My goodness, it's here! Chen Mo's random race! "
"How careless, he's going to play random race?"
"This … it might be able to confuse the humans a bit, but against Origin … will it work?"
"I don't know! Maybe Chen Mo wants to try it out? "
Everyone was shocked to see Chen Mo choose a random race, as it was too risky!
Looking at Origin's battle records, it had fought in the United States, Europe, and Korea. It had fought against all races. Which race would Origin not fight? That was absolutely impossible.
But if Origin could play any race, then what was the point of Chen Mo picking random race? At most, it would affect Origin's opening and starting hero, forcing it to choose a safer opening. But if Little Elf found out, then wouldn't it still be a normal game?
On the other hand, what if Chen Mo picked a race that didn't work?
Everyone broke into a cold sweat.
After entering the game, the screen showed Chen Mo's race and position.
Goph facepalmed, "It's over."
Goph also had a pained expression on his face.
The crowd was silent.
On the big map, far away, Undead!
This was practically a Nightmare Mode opening!
In such a large map, the elves could mine as they pleased. Chen Mo wouldn't be able to kill Origin in the first place, and the Undead were known to be the hardest to mine.
Strictly speaking, to fight against Origin in such a large map, the Human Race had the highest chance of winning, followed by the Elves, then the Orcs, and finally the Undead.
The Undead Tribe had an advantage in a head-on battle, but the problem was that mining was difficult! Putting aside mining, it was indeed a good idea for the Undead to attack the Elves.
Chen Mo was quite unlucky to have gotten this kind of opening right off the bat. Who else could've imagined!
Chen Mo's expression didn't seem to mind. He continued with the usual opening. The Death Knight, Lich, and Frost Armored Spider would level up while harassing the enemy.
After confirming Chen Mo's location, Origin reacted very quickly. Random Mines!
It was obvious that Origin also thought that the Chaos Mines were the best option for the Elves in such a large map.
Chen Mo obviously knew that Origin was in the mines, so he used the undead to open up the mines while searching for Origin's mines on the map.
Goph looked at the screen with a serious expression, "This isn't going to be easy."
Goph said helplessly, "Isn't that obvious from the start? If I was Chen Mo, I would've typed GG already. This is a bad opening. It's fine if it's against a human player, but against Origin, how are we supposed to play?"
Goph sighed, "I have to say, Chen Mo's mechanics are insane."
As the match continued, everyone realized two things.
The first was that Chen Mo's Undead were at a huge disadvantage in this map! It wasn't that Chen Mo's strategy was wrong, as he was able to find Origin's mines almost every time. But since the two races had different mechanics, Chen Mo was having a hard time running around.
The second was that Chen Mo's mechanics were insane! This was obvious when compared to Goph the day before. Chen Mo didn't panic at all even in the middle of the game. Any low health spiders were pulled away or healed.
On the big screen, Silent and Origin were locked in a stalemate.
"What the f * ck … is this bullshit? How can Chen Mo hold his own against Origin? Is he even human? "
"Although it's Origin with APM restriction, isn't this insane?"
"It's a shame that Chen Mo's mechanics are wasted. You could've just picked a human or an elf instead!"
Towards the end of the match, Chen Mo's side was clearly losing ground. But every time everyone thought Chen Mo was going to be crushed by Origin, he would miraculously survive!
Every time, it felt like they would not be able to win the team battle. Why was it that Origin was forced to retreat?
Moreover, it was as if Chen Mo had the entire map on him. Every time Origin started mining, Chen Mo would be able to accurately pinpoint where it was mining. On the other hand, when Chen Mo was mining, Origin would always be a few beats behind.
"What … what's going on?"
"Why does it feel like Chen Mo can forcefully mine with the Undead, and he's doing it better than Origin?"
"Isn't Chen Mo's mechanics a bit overpowered? How did he manage to find such a tricky location in the Chaotic Mines? "
Chen Mo laughed coldly. Playing random mines with me? You're too naive.
Although Chen Mo couldn't guess what Origin was thinking, he had eaten a lot of psychology textbooks and was a designer. He could guess what Origin's developers were thinking!
Origin's thinking process was actually a kind of thinking process. Although there was a certain degree of randomness in it and it depended on decisions made on the spot, as long as there was enough data, it was still possible to analyze something.
Chen Mo only needed to collect all of Origin's matches on this map, and through special data analysis, he would be able to come up with a very specific conclusion. What was the probability of Origin choosing a particular mine at a particular location?
It was important to note that in the ladder, everyone was basically playing on the popular maps. Origin had played many matches on this map, and they had played Chaotic Mines on this map many times.
Chen Mo was able to analyze the locations of Origin's random mines with his second level coding skills. Combined with some on-the-spot decisions, Chen Mo would be able to find Origin's Tree of Life in the most disadvantageous locations.
As for Chen Mo himself, he headed straight for the mines that the human players didn't go to often.
This created a situation where it was dark under the lights. Origin knew that these locations had a lower priority, so they didn't discover it immediately. It was only when Chen Mo's mines were almost ready that Origin's Elf discovered it.
The audience was dumbfounded.
"What the heck, Chen Mo is using the Undead to go head-to-head with Origin, and he's still not losing?"
"Chen Mo's mechanics aren't bad either. The Undead are strong to begin with. If it's a team battle with a hundred players … it's hard to say!"
"I'm starting to wonder if Chen Mo has a cheat code on the whole map!"
Everyone was in a mess. Who would have thought that Chen Mo would do this?
