Chapter 964: Post-match summary, champion’s bet
Translator: 549690339
At 2 am on November 11th.
The fourth round of the fierce battle of four worlds had ended, and the top 16 of the S2 competition were fresh out.
After the live broadcast ended, the videos of the various games quickly appeared on major non-neural-connected broadcasting platforms.
Many of the audience members who had already watched the live broadcast exited the neural connection mode and immediately went to watch the other matches they had missed. Of course … There were also people who would go and watch the matches they had watched before in order to make their presence known, and they would also give spoilers in the bullet comments …
On the other hand, the game forums were also in a frenzy. Players were excitedly discussing the recent victories and losses.!!
First of all, the Hell’s frontline team, which had ended the game in just ten minutes … Had once again refreshed their position in people’s hearts.
In the semi-finals, they had always given people the feeling that they hadn’t used their full strength. Moreover, up until the fourth round, they hadn’t lost anyone in the competition.
If the opponents they encountered were not that great, then it would be a different story. But looking at these four rounds … Whether it was zombie blade’s first and second fan teams, or team gods ‘second team, including the double-player team led by an individual professional player … All of them were undoubtedly strong teams.
This made Hell’s frontline’s “zero deaths” record extremely incisive … If they were to calculate according to the rules of the preliminaries, they should be ranked first among the sixteen teams up until this round.
Next, let’s watch the battle between frost monarch and order.
Now, we can directly address team regulation as “regulation” because the other teams in their studio have already bid farewell to the competition.
Just as everyone had expected, order seemed to have successfully advanced. But … This was only in terms of the result.
Judging from the process, their advancement was not easy.
In fact, in the middle of the match, there were even people who thought that order would lose this contest …
No one knew how the frost monarch managed to get the help of moonlit King and Sam Montier, and no one expected them to be able to set up such a clever plan to fight against order in a three-on-one battle.
In previous matches, order had never been beaten by more than two players, and there had never been a situation where only one member remained.
Even in the preliminaries, when they encountered corpse knife’s first team, which was at full health (with the aid of drugs), they had only lost two people. And … That was under the premise that Phantom dawn was going to solo the BOSS. When ghost hunter returned to the battlefield, drunken melancholy had encountered a suicide attack, and sashimi had died in a two-on-one fight. Zombie blade had also lost two men (one self-destructed, and the other was killed by brother Zen).
Moreover, that was only the first round of the preliminaries. In other words, the powerful analysis team of regulation at that time was basically unable to provide more detailed information support. If this match were to take place in the tenth round … No, after the fifth round … Corpse saber First Legion would most likely end up with zero points.
However, frost monarch had once Forced Order to the brink of defeat … The only reason why order could still win in the end was the sky-devouring ghost.
Without using a summoned creature, he had defeated two uniques second only to the four pillar gods, and in an encounter not long after that, he had killed the name difficulty trio, who were almost at full health.
It could be said that this match was of extraordinary significance. It not only showed people the hope of defeating order, but it also pushed the ID [sky-swallowing Phantom dawn] to the altar again.
After the end of S1, there was a period of time when many people doubted the strength of sky-swallowing Phantom dawn. This was because he had been completely restricted by lute throughout the game, and until the end, he did not have any heaven-defying performance. It could even be said that he had been beaten a little badly …
However, after this battle, the demon ghost once again planted fear in people’s hearts. The visual and psychological impact of fighting in person and commanding a summoned creature to fight were very different.
At this stage … Except for a certain insidious novelist, no one felt that their team could win against the demon ghost … Including the gods.
Their thoughts were exactly as RUO Yu had said: “I pray that I don’t meet him before the final …”
Next, let’s talk about the third match, constellation versus Warring States.
This should be the one with the least suspense out of the four focal battles.
Although most players were prejudiced and psychologically disgusted by “foreign Studios”, and they did not know much about Sengoku, the pre-match predictions were still more inclined to Sengoku winning.
Although constellation’s strength was not bad, and they had the champion of S1 to back them up, the other players other than brony were all new players. Obviously, the studio wanted to let these future stars show their faces through the competition so that they could “sell” them for a good price in the future.
Such a team … On the surface, their combat power was not bad, but they had two irrefutable shortcomings: Firstly, they lacked tacit understanding and cohesion. Secondly, apart from bold and unconstrained, the rest of them lacked competition experience.
At the end of the day … This was a matter of philosophy.
No matter what the players and coaches thought, the management of constellation did not have a strong desire for the championship. They only needed to get a “not bad” ranking and would be satisfied.
And what would be considered ‘good’? Basically, as long as they met the two requirements of “not missing out on those competitions that require a certain ranking” and “guaranteed exposure”, they would be fine.
That was why Constellation had placed an S1 champion and three rookies in their first team. The title of a first team and the Halo of a champion guaranteed the level of attention they received. The competition itself could allow them to accumulate experience and increase their exposure. It didn’t matter if they couldn’t win the championship, as long as the value of these players could rise through the competition.
On the other hand, the Warring States side was clearly ambitious and determined to win.
In short, these two teams … Whether it was the studio’s concept or the desire to win the championship, they were too different. Under the premise that their strength was similar, the chances of constellation losing were higher, not to mention that the Sengoku team one was stronger than them … And their strength was unfathomable.
[PS: seeing this, if you faintly feel that I’m dissing a certain Premier League team, or that you’re a fan of that team, please tell yourself that this is just an illusion … An illusion … An illusion … An illusion … An illusion …]
Finally, the fourth match, red Sakura first team VS order second team.
If Hell’s frontline’s MVP was bloody zombie God, then red Sakura’s MVP for this match would be Xu Huai Shang.
The match was originally quite suspenseful. The overall level of Team 2 was quite good. The only difference was that their trump card [barcode] was slightly worse than the enemy’s trump card [mourning].
As the “Queen” of female professional players, Xu Huai Shang’s ability was at least on the same level as the “drunken life and death”, but the level of the barcode was obviously half a grade lower.
Moreover, Yin tianchou … Err … I mean, barcode had unfortunately been replaced by two of the opponent’s non-Ace players before the match had even entered its final stage.
In that final battle, Xu Huai Shang had also played the role of a trump card. When she used the [Sakura] After killing invincible champion with moon break, fearless champion understood … That this battle was over.
Not long after; brother fearless; whose stamina points were drained by the skill; became a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. And with his death, only ye Zhi, who specialized in medical treatment, and the dumb snowman were left in Team 2. This combination was not even enough to deal with a single person from Bloody Rose. With the addition of the sorrow … The result was obvious.
In summary, in the fourth round of the semi-finals, some people were bitterly eliminated, while some people became gods overnight.
The video of the game on the online platform had not finished broadcasting, but all the forum gods, keyboard warriors, and professional ghostwriters had collectively set out. They could not wait to predict and analyze, point out the situation, and create public opinion …
Meanwhile, outside the internet, in reality.
There was one person who was already planning something else …
…………
Threeo’ clock in the morning, at a certain intersection in the suburbs S city.
This place was remote, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was in the wilderness. Although there were a few street lights on the side of the road, there were definitely no cameras or other equipment.
At this moment, a thin figure wearing a black hooded sweater and sweatpants was standing in the middle of the road, mumbling something.
On the ground in front of him, there was an array about two meters in diameter drawn with chalk. In the middle of the circle was a small metal basin filled with red liquid that looked like blood and many unknown materials. There were also a few red candles on the symmetrical spots in the array.
“In_Namen_Satans,dem_Herrscher_der_Erde,dem_Konig_der_Welt;befehle_ich_den_Kraften_der_Finsternis……”
The man mumbled for a while at a rather fast speed. Then, at a time when the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, suddenly …
Huuuu
A gust of wind blew out the candle.
Then, all the street lights around him began to flash at the same time, as if the circuit was not connected well.
In just a few short moments, the entire intersection fell into complete darkness.
A few seconds later, the moon reappeared from behind the clouds, and the surrounding street lights returned to a stable and bright state.
At the intersection, there was an additional figure …
“Hehehe … You always surprise people, Feng bujue.”
Hearing this “hehehe” laughter, I’m sure everyone already knows who has been summoned by the array. From his first line, the man in the black hoodie playing Summoner in the middle of the night was brother Jue.
“Being summoned by me … Are you surprised?” Feng bujue said with a smile.
“Hehehe …” Woody’s signature wretched laughter could not be changed.”It’s not an accident, it’s a surprise.”
“Fine, whatever …” Feng bujue did not want to play word games with the other party, so he answered casually and added,”I don’t know how long you can stay here, so I’ll get straight to the point …” He paused.”Let’s … Have a bet.”
“What?” When Wu Di heard this, he was slightly stunned. Then, he revealed an almost perverted smile.”Hehe … Hehehehe …”
He laughed madly for a while, then pushed the White glasses on his nose bridge with his middle finger and said,””Hehe … Feng bujue, before I answer ‘bet’ or ‘not bet’, let me ask you something …” His tone changed slightly.”Do you really think that there is a possibility of ‘betting on equal terms’ between us?”
“It doesn’t exist,” Feng bujue’s reply was simple.”In terms of the four elements of gambling, you have the advantage.”
“Oh? There’s actually a theory about the four elements of gambling?” Woody replied,”why haven’t I heard of it before?”
“Because that’s what I concluded.” Feng bujue replied.
“Oh, really? Hehehe … Then I’m very interested to hear it. ” Wu Di continued.
Feng bujue shrugged and said,””First, the ‘technique’ to complete and see through the cheating; Secondly, absolute calmness and the ‘mentality’ of being able to calculate everything. Third, the ‘luck’ summoned by courage and faith; Fourth, the ‘force’ that is enough to protect yourself or collect the chips after the bet Breaks the limit. ”
“Hehehe … That’s a pretty good summary.” Woody laughed and said,”most of the gambling is indeed about cheating. Yu Xiao, who doesn’t even know this and doesn’t have the ability to see through it, doesn’t deserve sympathy even if he loses his entire fortune. In gambles that could not be cheated, one had to rely on wits, expressions, words, actions … Acting and observation skills to determine the outcome. Furthermore … For gambles that didn’t even require a battle of wits, such as the Tiger machine, one had to rely on luck. This is also what gamblers need the most to see the blessings of the heavens. ” He paused for half a second.”Other than these decisive factors,’force’ is the last insurance. If you can’t take away the benefits you’ve won, you can’t be called a winner. ”
After that, Woody put his hands in his pockets and laughed with his shoulders shaking.””Hehe … You know all these … But you still want to bet with me?” He seemed to think that the question was not sharp enough and added a second later,”I have to emphasize … I’m a devil. I’m not the type who’ disdains cheating ‘or’ I won’t go back on my word for the sake of face ‘.”
“I naturally understand all of this.” Feng bujue continued to smile.”So what?”
This sentence made the smile on Woody’s face disappear.
“Humph …” After a few seconds of silence, Woody scoffed and said,”Feng bujue, you sure make me love and hate you at the same time …”
“There’s no need for love, I already have a girlfriend. ” Brother Jue then said,”you should just hate me … Compared to’ love ‘,’ hate ‘is an emotion that is easy to bear. As far as I know … There are many people who hate me, but I’m still alive and well. ” He tilted his head and smiled teasingly.”But if there are too many people who love me, I’ll be very tired.”
“Hehehe … I’m just making an analogy. I don’t have any ’emotions’.” Woody continued,”anyway … Let’s bet …” He spread his hands.”What do you want to bet on?”
“I’m using the champion of the second stage of the ‘candidate game’…” When brother Jue said those words, there was a clear change in Woody’s expression.”…To bet on li Ruoyu’s love.” (To be continued.) ”
