Chapter 348 Waiting for an opportunity, match point!
But Lu Ming knew that the matter was not over yet.
Lu Ming tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his eyes fell on the list of the top eight, and his eyes lit up slightly.
If it was snow in the mountains, what if he won the championship with that?
That's not a "genius tactic" anymore.
If a person can use such a tactic to defeat all the top professional players!
So what will other people think?
By then, no matter how popular she is, there will be people who will question her.
Some even asked the officials to change the rules, replay the game, and correct the game logic.
At that time, the explosive power of public opinion will be truly terrifying.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming's mouth corners slowly curled up.
This shows that—
The BUG I buried myself is indeed effective.
But now, it is still in the state of "just discovered but not detonated".
The real outbreak still needs an opportunity.
The best is yet to come!
…
Soon, the quarterfinals will begin!
At the Pengcheng competition area, there was a long queue at the entrance.
This is no longer an ordinary game competition atmosphere.
The stage lights flashed, the speakers roared,
The lights swept across the audience like artillery fire, and the atmosphere was as heated as the beginning of a concert.
The host wore a custom jacket printed with the Ming Dynasty Imperial Decree and the Lemon Candy logo.
While warming up the stage, he led the audience in shouting slogans.
The barrage is boiling simultaneously:
"Here we come! The venue for the quarterfinals is full tonight!"
"I bet on a barbecue stall, Shan Zhongxue will definitely take it tonight!"
"No, no, no, I, the horse herder, want to teach her a lesson!"
"Eight Pots of Soup is a sure thing, and the slow-burning tower defense can kill anyone!"
"I just want to see the four camps bite each other!"
As soon as the first round match list was announced, the whole audience was boiling
Wind Wrangler vs. Small Matter (Lingxu vs. Yongle Whale Abyss)
Eight Pots of Soup vs. Small Nuclear Bomb (Chongzhen vs. Chongzhen)
Shan Zhongxue vs. Yingwu (Hongwu vs. Jingyuan)
Northern Man vs. Luo Lebai (Jingyuan vs. Lingxu)
…
"What a coincidence! Shan Zhongxue has encountered Jingyuan again this time..."
As soon as the schedule for the quarterfinals was released, the barrage of comments was instantly flooded with "What a coincidence".
Someone joked: "God is adding drama to the plot."
Some people also said meaningfully: "Whether she can kill Jing Yuan again will be interesting to see."
In the audience seats, almost all the fans of the Hongwu camp were holding up light signs that read "Snow in the Mountains".
The camera swept across the players' seats.
Shan Zhongxue still had that calm and relaxed look, and with headphones on, he seemed completely isolated from the outside world.
As soon as the game started, the pace was beyond everyone's expectations.
Shadow Dance took control of the map first, and he managed the advantageous map of Whale Abyss perfectly.
Shan Zhongxue was not in a hurry to use muskets to form a dense formation.
Instead, he used Hongwu's steam chariot to press forward, forcing Yingwu to defend with all his strength.
Wait until the opponent's resource line is long enough,
One or two scattered soldiers instantly broke the enemy's rhythm.
Win the first game!
Then, the second round,
Yingwu had been on guard against the opponent's fire musketeers, but Shan Zhongxue did not adopt the previous tactics in this round.
Instead, they used their resources to build several steam giants.
Successfully won,
Best of three!
Snow in the mountains advances!
then,
The competition continued, and after continuous fierce battles, the final four qualifying players were finally announced:
Snow in the Mountains (Hongwu Firearms Era)
The Horse Herder in the Wind (Lingxuci Kingdom)
Eight Pots of Soup (Chongzhen Flesh and Blood Factory)
Northern Man (Yongle Jingyuan Prosperity)
The final four people are exactly four camps!
Players can directly enjoy it:
"How neat! The ultimate showdown between four civilizations!"
"This competition system is like something out of a history textbook, a battle for supremacy in four parallel worlds of the Ming Dynasty!"
"The finals must be watched!"
"The planners must be laughing their asses off backstage. They couldn't even dream of this kind of faction balance!"
"This is a real battle of the heroes."
"Doesn't this just demonstrate the balance of their game design?"
The popularity of the event soared instantly, and three of the top five hot searches in the e-sports section were about "The Great Ming Edict".
Major internet cafes, shopping malls, and milk tea shops began to spontaneously broadcast game replays, and even people who didn't play RTS were inexplicably shocked by this wave of popularity.
Two days later, the finals venue was decorated like a grand ceremony.
Under Lemon Tang's preparation, the rhythm of the game is mainly based on a special forces mode!
Today is not only the semi-finals, but also the finals!
Although this is a great test of the contestants' energy, it also makes the audience's enthusiasm even more boiling!
During this period, there are competitions every day.
It’s simply wonderful!
Moreover, this competition also came to the official e-sports venue, Pengcheng International E-sports Center!
The lights here are as bright as day, and the top-notch audio system combined with the live surround system make every game collision shocking.
The huge LED background wall played the four contestants' high-energy highlights in a loop. The auditorium was packed, and the queue at the lemon candy peripheral stall was longer than that at the milk tea stall.
At 19:00 in the evening, the host said in a loud voice:
"Dear audience! Welcome to the National Finals of the "Ming Dynasty Decree: Chaos of the Universe" LTD Challenge!"
The number of people online in the live broadcast room exceeded 100,000, and the barrage of comments was densely packed:
"Champion! Army! Night!"
"Snow in the mountains! Queen of Fireguns charges!"
"Horse herder, let me win!"
"If you delay until dawn, I lose!"
"Buddha bless you, don't disconnect the internet today!"
The flags of the four camps were hung high on both sides of the stage.
This is the first time since the launch of "The Great Ming Edict" that the "ultimate showdown of the four civilizations" has been truly staged in front of audiences across the country.
Lu Ming, sitting in his office chair, looked at the live broadcast page, his fingers tapping silently on the desk.
I was a little anxious,
This is the finals,
No trace of BUG?
He has asked Zhou Bowen to be ready to go online at any time.
As long as today's public opinion is not right, "Song Mai Qian Deng" is ready to go online to save the situation!
At the competition,
The drawing ceremony will begin soon.
The host walked onto the center stage, and the tension reached its peak:
"Now, please invite the four contestants to come on stage and draw lots for the match!"
Shan Zhongxue stretched out his hand and pulled out a small ball. The Wind Herder followed closely behind, picking up the second one without changing his expression.
When the names of the players on the ball are slowly revealed——
[First Half] Snow in the Mountains vs. Wranglers in the Wind
[Second Half] Eight Pot Soup vs. Northern Man
The whole audience was in an uproar, and the barrage of comments exploded:
"This is the finals in advance!"
"Firearms vs. Buddha statues, this is an extreme collision!"
"Can we strike first? Can the mountain snow hold up? The Wranglers have never lost a single battle!"
"Ahhhh, the champion candidates have met early!"
"I have a feeling the other group might fight until dawn."
"Jingyuan versus Chongzhen, the time management master versus Haoziliu, they're a perfect combination for procrastination."
The host took a deep breath and announced:
"This round of matches will be a best-of-five series! The first match will be between Shan Zhongxue and Feng Zhong Ma Ren. The match begins immediately!"
Soon, the two sat down.
The map is randomly generated. The first one is a relatively open terrain with evenly distributed resource points, which can be used for both head-on confrontation and sneak attacks.
The game begins!
At the beginning of the game, Shan Zhongxue habitually deployed his troops in the front, preparing to play a standard front-line musket push flow.
But the Horse Herder in the Wind did not fight back, but quietly chose the Thousand Buddhas Around the Mountain tactic.
He used early resources to create a unique Buddha statue army in the Lingxu camp, avoiding the main line, quietly opening two side mines in the corners of the map, and the army line circled the mountain and never entered the front field of vision.
He first pretended to have a head-on firefight with Shan Zhongxue, and then retreated step by step. On the surface, he seemed to be on the defensive, but in fact he was using the Thousand Buddhas Corps to quietly take a detour.
Along the way, he avoided all scouts,
The commentator exclaimed, "How did the Wrangler do that? He went around nearly a third of the map!"
When Shan Zhongxue discovered it, the herders' Thousand Buddha Corps had already taken root in her resource point.
He built troops while walking and attacked directly from behind her economic line.
Hongwu's defense line quickly collapsed under this kind of internal and external attack, and Shan Zhongxue didn't even use the tactic of combining fire and guns!
【1:0】The Wind Wrangler is leading.
The comments were full of "Emperor of details!" and "This is the psychological game of top RTS!"
In the second round, the map changed again, to [Thousand Towers Plains], which is a medium-sized symmetrical map with firearms advantage.
Shan Zhongxue decisively implemented her most skilled firearm blockade tactics, using Hongwu's: firearm soldiers, Flying Tiger Battalion, and steam positions to advance all the way.
She invested heavily at the beginning: setting up siege platforms in the front, using resources to attract peasants in the back, and fighting on three fronts in one go.
Then, the musketeers came out one by one, and were instantly organized into formations.
The barrage started to get excited at this time:
"The Queen starts with a nuclear explosion!"
"This picture is too much for the Wrangler in the Wind to handle!"
But the Wind Wrangler's actions at this time can be called a psychological master.
In the third minute of the game, he had no land and no troops.
Instead, he smuggled a Buddha statue into the snowy mining area in the mountains with believers!
The workers in the snow in the mountains were stuck just as they laid down the warehouse.
Construction cannot be completed in situ!
The entire lineup was dispersed in an instant, and the musketeers were forced to fight in different directions.
But the main force of the Wranglers made a feint in the middle, as if the attack had already arrived, but in fact it was just a bluff.
A plan was set in the snow in the mountains, and the main muskets were all pushed to the front line, but they found that it was in vain.
When she turned back to defend her home, the Buddha statue had already built a "chanting tower" outside her base camp, cutting off her line of reinforcements.
Shan Zhongxue's musket formation was cut off before it was formed, and he was forced to defend to the last soldier throughout the game.
In the 33rd minute, Yamanaka Snow suffered its second defeat!
There was a burst of cheers from the audience, as many people saw her so passive for the first time.
She sat in her seat with a frown on her face, and was silent for a long time before taking a sip of water.
She knew that if she lost another game she would be eliminated!
In the next round, she couldn't be led by the rhythm anymore. She had to form a dense formation of her muskets and completely explode under the national live broadcast.
The commentator on stage pounded the table and analyzed:
"This is textbook Lingxu torture!"
"Phantom soldiers, Canons, long-range altars, and feints to the east and attacks in the west—this guy is really good at it!"
"We've been analyzing Shan Zhongxue's tactical innovations, but we overlooked the faction Lingxu is the most capable of countering planned play in the entire game!"
"Brother Ma is amazing! These two matches have directly shown Shan Zhongxue the difference in strength!"
"Even with the mechanism, it's hard for Hongwu to win! It's almost match point!"
