Chapter 171： group qualifying

Ye Shaoyang returned to the backstage after the game, and the reporter with the team excitedly handed the microphone to his mouth and said, "Congratulations to Lieyang for winning the Japanese team 2:0 and winning the first game of the group stage. A good start for our Huaguo delegation!"

Ye Shaoyang nodded politely to the reporter: "Thank you."

The reporter said: "We found that you played very smoothly in today's game. It seems that you know the Japanese team's Takashi Kiriyama very well, and you have guessed where he is hiding many times. Excuse me, did you do your homework in advance?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "Yes, Team Chi helped me check Tongshan's detailed information, and also acted as a sparring partner for me, simulating the match against Tongshan. Team Chi is also very good at assassin heroes. The experience of fighting assassins less, for example, using shadow warlocks to fight stealth thieves is a strategy we have repeatedly verified."

The reporter was a little surprised: "So, when Team Chi is going abroad this time, is it still part-time as a sparring partner for you?"

Ye Shaoyang said with a smile: "Yes, he is also helping Xiaoxing analyze his opponents, and he told us a lot of experience in individual competitions. He can be regarded as the behind-the-scenes coach for Xiaoxing and me."

In the backstage preparation room, everyone turned their attention to Chi Shuo.

Chi Shuo's expression was calm, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Chairman Qiu said with a smile: "Lieyang is trying his best to praise you."

Chi Shuo said, "I just analyzed his opponent for him. To win Takuya Kiriyama, the key is to rely on his operational details and on-the-spot reaction."

Zhou Jiawen joked next to him: "You two just praise each other, it's a pity that we don't have a sparring partner."

Xie Weiyu whispered, "Team Zhou, why don't we both spar with each other?"

Zhou Jiawen said, "Good idea!"

The reporter's interview was still being broadcast on the screen. The reporter asked Ye Shaoyang: "Does Yangyang have confidence in the next game? Do you think there is a good chance of you qualifying for the group?"

Ye Shaoyang replied: "Of course I have confidence. It's hard to say if I qualify for the group, but I will try my best."

After the interview, Ye Shaoyang came to the preparation room, and Chairman Qiu applauded him: "It was a great fight!"

Zhou Jiawen, Xie Weiyu and others also stepped forward to congratulate.

Ye Shaoyang said with a smile: "I just won the group match, but I can't be too happy."

Chairman Qiu said: "Don't be modest, I believe you will have no problem qualifying for the group."

Everyone went back to the hotel to have dinner, and for the evening game, everyone came to the scene again.

Zhou Jiawen, Xie Weiyu and Cheng Xing are divided into E~H groups, and the game time is arranged in the evening. Among them, Xie Weiyu and Zhou Jiawen will play at the same time at 7 pm, and Cheng Xing will play at the latest at 10 o'clock.

There were only two official commentators who accompanied the team to South Korea. Zhou Jiawen and Xie Weiyu crashed at the race time, so they couldn’t do both. In the end, Chairman Qiu decided to let Mumu and Dongge explain Xie Weiyu’s game on the spot, while Zhou Jiawen’s game was played by the domestic team. Explain broadcast. Tomorrow, the two will still play at the same time, and then they will switch.

Ye Shaoyang was watching the game in the preparation room, Xie Weiyu performed very well, winning 2:1; Zhou Jiawen won 2:0 neatly.

At 10 p.m., the first opponent Cheng Xing bumped into in Group H was Mitchell from the North American Division.

Xiao Xing was a little nervous before taking the stage, the smile on his face was reluctant, and his fists were clenched tightly. After all, it was his first time to go abroad, and he was young, so nervousness was inevitable.

Chi Shuo patted his apprentice's shoulder lightly and whispered, "Mitchell's style of play is fierce, you have to be steady, try to consume him, kite him, and don't fight him recklessly."

Ye Shaoyang also came over to cheer Xiaoxing: "Don't think too much, don't care about the result, it's enough to play at your own level. I will cheer you on with your master in the background."

Cheng Xing raised his head to meet the encouraging gazes of Master and Brother Yang. He took a deep breath and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will fight hard!" With these two backing him, he has nothing to be afraid of!

Anyway, the main purpose of going abroad this time is to accumulate experience in the competition, and he has no hope of winning the championship. As Brother Yang said, it is enough to play at his own level.

Cheng Xing straightened his chest and walked to the big stage.

Mitchell is not familiar with Xiaoxing, but he knows that this newcomer is from Team Tianhuan. The similar ID of Starlight makes him easily think of his newcomers Angus and Allen who were joined by Sunshine and Moonlight in the international server. The past of torture and crying - well, it's time to avenge my newcomer!

Of course, Mitchell would not be merciful. In the first round, he selected the natal hero [Sun Lun Mage]. He played the mage like a warrior, and he was fierce.

The rhythm of the next game was completely controlled by Mitchell. Although Cheng Xing resisted stubbornly, he was ultimately unable to recover and lost the first game.

In the second round, Cheng Xing chose the flexible shooter [Elf of the Wind], and patiently dealt with Mitchell. With the skill [Rage], he took the opportunity to beat Mitchell, and unexpectedly took Mitchell's head!

Mitchell played too aggressively and was seized by Cheng Xing and pulled back a game.

The score became a 1:1 draw. Mitchell found that Tianhuan's rookie was more difficult to deal with than he thought, and he was more cautious in the third game. He chose a flexible thorn, showed off his position, and finally won the game in 15 minutes.

Cheng Xing was not uncomfortable with this result. He had long expected that he would lose. After all, Mitchell was a world-class player, similar in strength to Brother Yang and Master.

Cheng Xing smiled happily when he returned to the backstage: "I won at least one game, so I won't be as embarrassing as 0:2!"

Ye Shaoyang looked at the little guy full of energy, and said with relief: "Yes, Mitchell is the most aggressive mid laner in the North American division. It's amazing that you can win a game from him."

Cheng Xing nodded: "Well, today's game has gained a lot. I will go back and find the coach to slowly review the game."

The first day of the game is over.

Among the 4 contestants in Huaguo District, 3 won and 1 lost.

Although Cheng Xing finally lost the game, most of the domestic public opinion still holds an encouraging attitude. After all, he is a rookie, and it is already very powerful to qualify for the wild card division. It is not realistic to win Mitchell.

Cheng Xing's Weibo is full of fans who cheer for him. Of course, some black fans took the opportunity to scold him, but they were blocked by Cheng Xing. He opened the super chat of #日月同辉# and found that the CP fans were really carnival.

[Family, have you watched today's interview? I hit the sugar again]

[The pool team went to South Korea to be a sparring partner for Yangyang! 】

[The pool team is so warm, can I move the Civil Affairs Bureau to the hotel for them? 】

[If Riyue CP issues stocks, I can definitely get rich! 】

Cheng Xing silently gave these comments a like. Brother Yang's own strength is very strong, and with Chi Shuo's accumulation of experience in the individual competition, Cheng Xing has a hunch that in this World Invitational Tournament, maybe Brother Yang can win the championship!

At that time, the sun and moon CP will be the fairy love between the S6 individual champion and the S10 individual champion?

He is going to type the word "a good match" on the public screen!

The next day, Ye Shaoyang met Plaka, the top laner from the African division, in the group stage.

In the world where Ye Shaoyang lived in his previous life, the level of e-sports in Africa was very poor. Most African countries had limited computer penetration, and the number of e-sports players was even more pitiful. However, the economic level of this world is generally high, the strength of the teams in the African division is not weak, and the professional league of the gods on their side is also prosperous.

The opponent I met today is the top order of the team that ranked first in the regular season in the African Division.

Chi Shuo checked his information overnight last night, but unfortunately, there is no habit of posting game videos on the official website on the African side. What Chi Shuo has collected are only some comments on him online, saying that he played well as a fighter. .

There is no information about the opponent in this game, Ye Shaoyang can only play on the spot.

In theory, it is difficult to beat a mage against a warrior, because a set of magic thorns cannot kill a warrior in seconds, but a set of warriors can easily kill a crispy mage in seconds. Only in the late stage, when the mages are equipped, and the soldiers do not have defensive equipment, it is possible to achieve an instant kill.

Therefore, Ye Shaoyang simply did not choose the thorn in this game.

In the first round, he chose a [Moonlight Mage] with a super long attack distance. This is the hero he used when he and Qu Jiang cooperated with the middle assistant. He can rely on basic attacks to deal damage, and his ultimate move can shoot the moon blade, causing damage. Straight line damage over long distances.

Plaka chose the warrior [Sword Will]. Although the burst is high, the attack distance is short. Ye Shaoyang chooses this super long-distance POKE-style mage hero, so he can stand in a safe position to fight the opponent's war of attrition.

In the first game, Ye Shaoyang never came out of the tower.

He stood under the tower to clear and shoot from a long distance, consuming the opponent's blood. Plaka is often swept away by Ye Shaoyang's moon blade as soon as he clears a wave of troops.

Ye Shaoyang moved in a serpentine position, and the moon blade shot by his staff was like an overwhelming rainstorm. Plaka was unavoidable, and he was swept into residual blood at every turn.

After several consecutive waves of going home, the economy of the two quickly opened up.

Yao Mu noticed Ye Shaoyang's strategy, and said, "Yangyang is fighting warriors today, and his thinking is very clear. The heroes of the players will consume the opponents, force the opponents to go home, and then block the line...he is playing the game!"

Dong Ge praised: "Yes, the rules for determining the outcome of the individual competition, in addition to killing 3 heads, you can also push down the opponent's crystal! When encountering a warrior, it is difficult to kill the opponent in seconds. Operation, pushing the crystal is a good choice, Lieyang's idea is very rational."

On the screen, Lieyang's [Moonlight Mage] once again activated his ultimate move, Ye Shaoyang walked back and forth in a snake-like position, and once again beat Plaka into residual blood, Plaka had to go home.

Plaka was extremely uncomfortable. When he came to the online again, he couldn't bear it. He simply flashed over and tried to kill Ye Shaoyang. As a result... Seeing that [Moonlight Mage]'s HP was crippled, Ye Shaoyang backhanded a "small healer". Shu" gave himself a mouthful of milk.

Seeing this, Yao Mu couldn't help laughing and laughing: "Yang Yang is bringing healing techniques in this game!"

Brother Dong said: "Yes, he didn't bring flash, he didn't bring purification, he brought a [healing], and the equipment also came out with magic blood-sucking equipment. The battery life is very strong, and the consumption and operation must be carried out to the end!"

Yao Mu said: "If Plaka in Africa understands the style of our Lieyang, he should realize at this time that he has written 'you come and beat me, you can't kill me' on his face!"

This sentence made the audience in the domestic live broadcast room send out a series of barrages.

[Lieyang Classic Sanlian: Come and hit me! Can't kill me? Can't catch up with me? 】

[Ow, this is the first time I've seen a mage with healing! 】

[Only what you can't think of, there is nothing Lieyang dares to do, what is it that he brings treatment? I wouldn't be surprised even if one day he brings Punishment to the jungle! 】

Brother Dong said: "Going through the tower and killing Lieyang will not end well. In the early stage, the warrior can theoretically kill the crispy mage in seconds. However, the mage with the healing technique will give himself a sip of milk at the critical moment. If you don't hurt enough, you will be killed."

Yao Mu smiled and said, "It seems that international friends don't know enough about our Lieyang style."

Plaka is extremely depressed.

Very poor gaming experience.

He played in the African Division, and he has never encountered such a difficult mid laner!

You don't go to the opposite side in seconds, the opposite side will take advantage of you to clear the troops, and shoot from a long distance, frequently draining your HP. maim you and force you to go home.

But you go to the opposite side of Second, he has a healing technique, and he also published a [Blood-sucking Book]!

The book of blood-sucking, this is the strongest blood-sucking equipment for mages. The damage caused by spells restores the blood volume proportionally.

And [Moonlight Mage]'s basic attacks are all spell damage, you don't even need to use a big move to play [Vampire Book], and continuous basic attacks can also restore blood. need to go home.

Fighting, Plaka's outer tower is gone.

Unconsciously, Neta was also pushed.

Ye Shaoyang controlled the troops and line control very well. Plaka just missed a wave of soldiers, and Ye Shaoyang madly rolled the snowball. In the later stage, the economy was directly crushed. After finishing the line, Ye Shaoyang led the soldiers to push the crystal away.

Plaka: "..."

This uncomfortable feeling seems to be crushed by IQ?

In the second round, he chose a [Berzy Warrior] with a stronger ability to cut people, and turned on the berserk state, which could quickly drop the Crispy Mage in seconds, even if the opponent had healing.

As a result, Ye Shaoyang chose an [Abyss Master] to play against him.

Then Plaka deeply realized what a nightmare is--shadow, there are shadows everywhere, you want to cut his body, he and the shadow change positions quickly, and it can't be cut at all!

Ye Shaoyang personally demonstrated what is called "Triangle Transposition" in the international competition.

His shadow manipulation is very particular.

It can quickly clear troops, switch positions to escape, and instantly surround and kill opponents.

Plaka singled out with the [Abyss Lord] who summoned 3 shadows. The opponent was equivalent to 4 displacements, and the action was like the wind, which was difficult to catch. Often, Plaka rushes up in a frenzy, easily changes positions on the opposite side, goes around to your hand, and lets the shadows surround you in turn, and the mark is brushed to the 7th floor in a blink of an eye!

It was impossible to see how he swiped the mark.

Many players play [Abyss Master], and they may also need to calculate the sequence of combos. Ye Shaoyang is already familiar with this hero, and he does not need to think about more than a dozen combo methods.

Plaka was beaten by him with three shadows, barely touching a corner of his body.

In the end, Ye Shaoyang relied on extreme operations, Xiu killed Plaka, and took the lead in getting 3 kills!

In the second game of Group C, Sunshine won!

At the scene of the game, Korean audiences also noticed the live screen of the Group C game. When Lieyang won the game 2-0 neatly, many people curiously discussed with their friends: "This abyss is too powerful. Right! Who is Sunshine?" "Looks like a newcomer?"

Backstage, while drinking tea and taking a break while watching the live broadcast of the individual match, Park Yuanxi squinted his eyes and said, "The Sunshine abyss master in Group C is playing well, he should be Sunshine from the international server, right? I remember he also has a partner, he seems to be called Moonlight, a couple's name."

Cui He said: "Well, we all know Moonlight, Chi Shuo, the captain of Team Tianhuan. Sunshine, the new mid laner of Team Tianhuan this year, is called Tianhuan Lieyang."

Park Yuanxi was a little surprised: "Is he a newcomer?"

"That's right. At the time, Mitchell posted three videos in the group, all of them playing in the international server. Judging from the video, Sunshine doesn't look like a rookie, but he did debut and play in the S10 season. I have read his profile before, and he is currently the player with the most MVPs in the Huaguo region, and he has also won five kills with the abyss."

Cui Hutten paused, looked back at his teammates, and added with a sneer: "Reporters and fans in Huaguo District say that he is the most talented rookie in recent years, and many people compare him to you... Photo In my opinion, that is, the overall strength of the Huaguo region is weak, so he can stand out, right? He is far worse than you."

Park Yuanxi smiled and said lightly: "Huaguo District has indeed never won a world team championship, and its overall strength is not as good as ours. We have won two individual championships. However, it is difficult to play the mid laner in the individual competition. I think, This Lieyang, at most, will reach the top eight? Or maybe the top four have come to an end."

Choi Hyuk agreed: "Well, it's not a problem to qualify for the group. He has already won two games."

In Group C, Ye Shaoyang won two games in a row, securing the qualifying spot for the top 16 in advance.

On the second night of the game, Zhou Jiawen and Xie Weiyu both won 2:1. Cheng Xing met Vanessa from Group H. He was very fond of this beautiful woman with blond curly hair, and the game was beaten.

Cheng Xing, who lost 0:2, was a little depressed. Ye Shaoyang comforted him and said, "She is the best jungler in the European competition this season. It's not ashamed to lose to her."

Cheng Xing nodded obediently: "Well, I will be more careful when I meet her in the world competition."

On the third day of the World Invitational Tournament, Ye Shaoyang met the weaker players in Group C, and it was easier to win than the previous two days. Zhou Jiawen also had a winning streak, Xie Weiyu lost a game, and Cheng Xing won a rare game.

After the three-day group stage, Ye Shaoyang qualified for the round of 16 with a complete victory in Group C; Zhou Jiawen and Xie Weiyu also entered the round of 16, and Cheng Xing was eliminated.

There are many black fans in China who are mocking him: "Congratulations to Tianhuan Fanxing for the round of personal competition!" "Did Cheng Xing travel to South Korea?"

Cheng Xing said calmly on Weibo: "I just went to travel to gain knowledge!"

He was out of the group stage, which was what he expected. Group H was also a group of death. There were two world-class players, Mitchell and Vanessa. Only the top two players in the group could enter the round of 16. Cheng Xing.

Reasonable netizens also expressed their encouragement to Cheng Xing. He entered the World Individual Tournament from the wild card division. In the three group matches, 1:2, 0:2, 2:1, one win and two losses, Xiaoxing's performance has been very good. Excellent.

From the fourth day, it entered the exciting knockout stage.

Zhou Jiawen came first in Group E, and met Japanese fighter Ichiro Umekawa in Group F; Xie Weiyu was second in Group G, and met Mitchell, who ranked first in Group H.

Ye Shaoyang was the first in Group C to qualify, with 16 wins and 8 knockouts. His opponent was the second in Group D, Bangui, an assassin from Thailand.

Chi Shuo was very familiar with assassins. He accompanied Ye Shaoyang all night to check information, practice the game, and find ideas. The two studied until 2:00 in the morning, and then got up the next morning and practiced the details of PK operations.

Ye Shaoyang came to the competition site full of confidence.

This game had a bit of trouble at the beginning and was seized by the opponent. With the head ratio of the two sides at 2:2, Bangui suddenly attacked and killed Ye Shaoyang once, taking the lead with 3 heads and a 1:0 lead.

Obviously, Ye Shaoyang was studying his opponent, and the other party was also studying him.

In the group stage, Ye Shaoyang produced a lot of heroes, and his record of complete victory has also become the dark horse of individual competitions that the delegations from various countries focus on. It is normal for his game video to be repeatedly studied.

In the second game, Ye Shaoyang changed his strategy and took out [Shadow Warlock] again to hit the opponent's [Sneak Thief], dragging the opponent to death and leveling the score.

In the decisive game, Ye Shaoyang took out [Illusionist] unexpectedly, broke out in a fast-paced style of play, quickly won three heads, and ended the game in 13 minutes.

2:1 win!

Seeing the game on the big screen, Yao Mu said excitedly: "Congratulations to Lieyang for his 2:1 victory in this game! In the 16-8 knockout round, Lieyang won again, and he made it to the 8th place in the World Series individual competition. powerful!"

Brother Dong is also a little excited: "Lieyang has been in very good form these days, and his mentality is very stable when he plays the game. Although he started poorly today and lost a small score, he adjusted quickly and regained two consecutive wins. The game, 2:1, won the game without any risk!"

Yao Mudao: "According to the arrangement of the schedule, in the next 8-to-4 game, Lieyang's opponent will be selected from the winners of Group G and Group H with 16-to-8! Either Xie Weiyu or Mitchell."

Brother Dong said: "The match between Xie Weiyu and Mitchell will be broadcast live at 7 o'clock tonight, looking forward to the wonderful match that the two will bring us!"

At 7 p.m. that night, Ye Shaoyang also came to the scene to watch the game between Xiaoyu and Mitchell.

First, Xiaoyu is his best friend, and secondly, the winner of the match between the two will be his opponent in the next match.

Although he hopes Xiaoyu can win, he also knows that the strength of Mitchell's No. 1 mid laner in North America cannot be underestimated. The mage and the shooter go head-to-head, and the shooter is at a disadvantage. In the early stage, the basic attack of the shooter basically does no damage. In the later stage, the explosion of the magic thorn can instantly drop the shooter in seconds, and the shooter's living environment will be very difficult.

However, Xie Weiyu's toughness exceeded expectations. In the first game, Mitchell won very difficultly. It was not until the late 18 minutes that he seized the opportunity to defeat Xie Weiyu in seconds and won the victory judgment condition of 3 heads.

In the second game, Xie Weiyu took out the [Sharpshooter] and sniped from a long distance in a row, which made Mitchell annoyed. In the end, he relied on the Qing soldiers to push the tower to win, and the score was tied at 1:1.

Mitchell unexpectedly found that the overall strength of the shooters in the Huaguo District seemed to have improved a lot. Whether it was Xiaoxing who met in the group stage or Xie Weiyu who met in the 16th place, it was getting harder and harder to kill.

Probably because of the emergence of two-person bosses linked by the sun, moon, and the middle and wild in the Huaguo region, the living environment for the shooters is getting more and more difficult. These shooters who came out of the Huaguo region, one by one, have a first-class escape speed!

It was not easy for Mitchell to kill Xie Weiyu alone, and he almost rolled over when it was dragged to the tiebreaker. In the end, Mitchell, relying on his rich experience in competitions, seized the opportunity, flashed Xie Weiyu in seconds, and won the tiebreaker.

Mitchell advanced to the quarterfinals.

His next opponent is Tianhuan Lieyang.

Mitchell excitedly ran to the backstage to say hello to Ye Shaoyang: "Tomorrow's game with you, I will come back, single kill in the middle!" Ye Shaoyang said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

After he left, Xie Weiyu smiled and said in a low voice, "Yangyang, this Mitchell, why do I think he's a bit erotic? There is only killing in my mind."

Ye Shaoyang chuckled and nodded: "Yes, I killed him once, he must kill me twice to be enough."

Next door, Zhou Jiawen also overturned in the 16-to-8 game. The Japanese warrior players were very calm and sharp. Under the same level of skill, it was not too much annoyance for the mages to beat the warriors.

Team Zhou had a good mentality and said with a smile, "Alas, Yangyang is the only seedling left in our Huaguo District."

Although Chairman Qiu did not want to put pressure on Ye Shaoyang, among the top 8 players, only Ye Shaoyang was left in Huaguo; Mitchell, Lambert, Ichiro Umekawa from Japan, Vanessa from Europe, Jin Minjun and Han Chengyu from South Korea remained in North America. , no one in the African division was shortlisted, and Kellogg in the Latin American division...

These are all top-level players, with 8 wins and 4 fights against Mitchell. Ye Shaoyang still has a chance of winning in the mid-laner civil war, but what about 4 wins and 2 after that? What about the finals?

Chairman Qiu didn't dare to hope, he only hoped that Lieyang could learn from the experience of this competition. After returning to China, it would be worthwhile to play the playoffs and improve Tianhuan's strength.

At this time, Chairman Qiu didn't know that Ye Shaoyang's goal had always been on the world championship trophy in the center of the big stage. The singles individual match is very difficult. Assassins, warriors, and many are the nemesis of mages.

But Ye Shaoyang was not discouraged by this. On the contrary, he was a leader who became more and more brave in battle. The more difficult it was, the more he could arouse his desire to win.

He wants to take back the S10 individual championship trophy and put it together with Chi Shuo's S6 championship trophy.

Jing Zhe and Bei Mu are both double world champions.

Tianhuan also needs to have two championships, so that he can be considered a complete success.
