Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 759: The Appearance of a "God"
The first game had just begun, and before even reaching the finals, a young and promising player had already defeated the favorite to win the championship right from the start.
The emotions of both the commentators and the audience were instantly aroused, but Wei Shen was just knocked down, which is also the most fascinating thing about the team mode in the chicken game.
This kind of real-time strategy content, which is like an FPS game, not only tests team cooperation and rescue, but also opponents can take advantage of this and implement the classic battlefield strategy of "siege and attack reinforcements".
That is to use the knocked-down players as bait to attract other players and catch them all in one fell swoop. There are many props set up in the game, whether it is smoke bombs or incendiary bombs.
For novice players, they generally pay little attention to the use of these props. After all, they are facing the gun head-on, and it is either you die or I die. When it comes to team cooperation, how to make the best use of props is precisely the core of team tactics.
The IM team was able to win first place in the Chinese division, so it was certainly not impossible that they were unprepared in terms of teamwork and tactical reserves. The other three players were experienced and almost at the same time took out smoke bombs and threw them around the fallen Wei Shen.
As three areas of smoke became thicker, the battlefield was instantly shrouded in smoke, and the vision of both sides was perfectly blocked. At the same time, Wei Shen crawled very calmly and changed his position to avoid being wiped out by the opponent.
The teammates then put away their guns, and began to move flexibly with the help of cover, constantly dodging and avoiding the aim of enemies in the dark, while quickly diving into the smoke.
"The opponent's shooting is quite accurate. He directly blew my head off. To be honest, if this wasn't a professional competition, I would have thought that the opponent was cheating." Gao Dewei joked.
"We've been defeated at the beginning of the game, which is also a good thing for us. We should kill them to boost our morale. Don't underestimate other teams. After all, the FPS field is where talented monsters run rampant. As long as you are accurate enough, everything will be fine..."
Mo Zi, who holds the title of captain, looks like a big sister. Her serious look is somewhat like the Steel Rose on the battlefield. As a professional player, this is Mo Zi's first time to step onto the stage of a world competition.
From making her debut in the CF Hundred Cities League to her rising star in League of Legends, she switched to the women's e-sports arena to make a living. She thought it was a new beginning, but it turned out to be a short-lived stage.
After many twists and turns, he finally returned to the FPS competitive arena that he was most familiar with. This time, he was able to reap the dividends of the times, relying on the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" project to make great progress in the competition.
With the proper configuration of his own team, he fought his way out of the situation and got the regional championship honor that he had longed for but never achieved, and he also stepped onto the world competition stage in one fell swoop.
However, due to her advanced age and the rapid maturity of the competition, Mo Zi feels under tremendous pressure as the new generation replaces the old generation. Although she is now the "captain", her strength has gradually fallen to the bottom of the team.
When stepping onto the stage of the World Championship, Mo Zi had to consider whether this was her only chance in her life to touch the title of world champion. From the current perspective, they are indeed the most promising team.
After all, other teams don’t even have a competition area, and some clubs’ teams are temporarily set up, relying purely on individual strength. It is absolutely impossible for them to have sufficient coordination and tacit understanding in team cooperation.
Unexpectedly, this blow directly brought them back to reality. They dared not underestimate the enemy anymore. "Concentrate! Get the first victory firmly!"
"Understood! Captain Mo, Brother Wei was just careless. I will avenge him later." The younger Xiaoxin said with a giggle, but there was no ambiguity in his actions.
"Help me up, I will take care of the revenge myself. And I've told you many times, don't call me Brother Wei!" Gao Dewei said with a black face.
"What's that called, Awei?" Xiaoxin continued teasing.
While he was joking, Gao Dewei had already climbed up from the ground, packed a first aid kit, and his health bar returned to a healthy level.
"It just so happens that I have a scope. I roughly know his position. Let me get back at him." Gao Dewei switched the gun in his hand and took out the Soul 98K. There is no doubt that this is also the most popular gun in the game.
The game does a really good job of restoring details, especially the charming sound of pulling the bolt, which is unmatched by other firearms.
"Okay, I'm ready to help you, but don't get shot in the head again..." Xiao Xin hid aside and joked casually, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking...
Wei Shen, who had just poked his head out with great pride, was knocked to the ground in an instant. Without a helmet, he was killed instantly, and the opponent also heard the charming sound of a 98K gun.
When the gunshot sounded from the other side, it was like the horn of death...
"Fuck, this guy is really good, accurate and fast..." Gao Dewei said depressedly. He fell before he could even see the opponent's position clearly. However, this also aroused the man's desire to win. Gao Dewei's face was full of dissatisfaction.
"I don't believe it. Help me up! Keep fighting!"
Xiao Xin was very skilled in saving the dying and the wounded, and he looked like a medic. At the same time, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "Three times the limit, it won't be..."
This time, Wei Shen didn’t even use medicine. Anyway, he didn’t have a helmet and would be killed in one shot. What difference did it make?
Wei Shen changed his position and observed the opponent's position from a third-person perspective. When he found that the opponent was half exposed , he decisively seized this fleeting opportunity, leaned forward, opened the scope and aimed, all in one go.
As a splash of blood appeared, a familiar and charming gunshot rang out, and a prompt was displayed at the bottom of the screen.
"forsaken used kar98K to headshot IM and GODV"
This suffocating oppressive force has only been experienced by external users so far.
But this kind of thing doesn't exist in the professional arena. It is precisely because of this that the sheer gap in strength makes Gao Dewei feel a little frustrated.
"The position is not good, let's move first. There happens to be a car here, and we can deal with them in the final round later..." Seeing that even the strongest player of the team could not get a good deal, Mo Zi decisively changed his strategy and decided to retreat as the best option.
Gao Dewei, who had suffered three defeats in a row, did not continue to be stubborn. After all, he had lost his helmet and his head was cold. He could not be reckless anymore, especially since he had fallen to the ground many times. His health was already in jeopardy, which would undoubtedly be a big disadvantage for the upcoming final round.
In the professional arena, all tactics are for victory. Winning is the only goal. It is not necessary to defeat the opponent to win. Defeating the enemy without fighting is also a tactic.
Survival is also part of the game.
This rich application of tactics will undoubtedly be the potential of this game in e-sports, waiting to be developed by the players.
"Move!" Gao Dewei made a decisive decision and skillfully threw a cigarette at his feet. A group of people moved towards the car and then prepared to move quickly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the car rushed out of the smoke, a burst of intensive gunfire was heard in the distance, hitting the car with a clanging sound.
"forsaken used M416 to knock down IM and GODV"
"forsaken used M416 to headshot IM and mozz"
This time he scored twice, with the sweeper sweeping out a double yolk egg. Two players fell off his body and lay on the ground looking at each other in astonishment.
Is his skill in shooting at moving targets so terrible? Where on earth did this monster come from?
…
"Oh my god! What is forsaken doing! Is he going to destroy the IM team? This series of amazing moves has completely fooled IM. I'm afraid IM will not be able to escape. I didn't expect such a dark horse to appear in this world championship!"
"forsaken, the god of death from Southeast Asia!"
The commentator was extremely excited, and the atmosphere was filled with saliva flying. Both online and offline audiences were impressed by the amazing technology. At the same time, there were many people gloating in the comments.
"That's it? I didn't expect that even after changing to a different sport, Wei Shen would still be a weakling in the competition."
"I came here specifically for Wei Shen. I heard he's doing well here. He's still No. 1 in the region and has the same performance in the World Championship. I'm afraid he won't be able to qualify again, right?"
"The competition system here is different. There is no such thing as qualifying, but if we are at the bottom of the points list, it would be a laughing stock..."
As a world event broadcast in real time on major live streaming platforms, it is also the phenomenal game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" that currently occupies half of the game live streaming platforms and is popular all over the world.
The first World Championship, which is being held while the iron is hot, naturally attracted the curiosity and attention of some players, not to mention the "gimmicks" consisting of Wei Shen and Mo Zi.
When these two trump cards were played, countless spectators came to see them, many of whom came just for Wei Shen. After all, it was only a year since the defeat in last year's World Championship, and everything is still fresh in their memory.
Especially this year, the League of Legends project was swept without any suspense. Every year it is the "most promising year", but every year it ends in disappointment. I don't know how many players are disappointed.
It just so happened that " PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was rising strongly and began to take in a large number of heartbroken e-sports boys.
Wei Shen's change of team seems to be a microcosm of this phenomenon, so many League of Legends players will naturally pay more attention to him.
Of course, although Xiao Heizi may be late, he will never be absent. Isn't this a perfect opportunity to get close to him?
…
As for Zhou Dongsheng, although it was his own team that was crushed, for Zhou Dongsheng, no matter how the script played out, he would be the biggest winner.
When he reached this level, Zhou Dongsheng just acted as a pure spectator and was not moved by the victory or defeat at the moment.
Instead, he said with interest: "This player is so strong, why don't you consider signing him to our team? LPL can have a Southeast Asian jungle king, we can also have a Southeast Asian gun god..."
"Turtle, this shooting skill is really outrageous. It has made Wei Shen and the others lose their temper. It seems that they are going to capsize in the ditch." Liu said anxiously.
Brandon Green exclaimed: "Sure enough, the art of the game can only blossom in the hands of players. This player seems to be a real sniper, playing with his opponent..."
This beyond-visual-range confrontation is one of the biggest features of the game, and it is also a creative idea of Brandon Green.
This competition now fully demonstrated his creativity, which made him feel satisfied.
At the same time, the game was still going on, and in the broadcast, Forsaken seemed like a really experienced sniper on the battlefield.
While playing with the prey, he realized that the prey was about to escape, so he decisively switched guns and used his miraculous gun control skills to accurately harvest the prey in the cage one by one.
This time he did not hold back, as if he was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away, and he killed the enemy accurately and put the head in his pocket.
The remaining IM player whose tire was punctured was unable to escape. With the cooperation of his teammates, a cloud of black smoke finally came out of the car. The two players could only choose to fight on the spot and use the car as a cover to launch a counterattack.
However, he was trapped in a jar and could not escape death. As expected, all the kills were taken by forsaken. It seemed that his teammates also intended to do so. It seemed that they wanted to lend him a helping hand and strive for the honor of the kill king in this world championship.
"It's a pity that the IM team, the favorite to win this year, had a bad start and lost the first game to Northwest. Fortunately, this is only the first game. I hope that the IM team can make timely adjustments and play well in the next games. In terms of team strength, I believe that the IM team is still the favorite to win the championship in our Huaxia Division..."
The commentator said with a hint of regret, then paused, and continued: "Next, let's continue to follow Forsaken and appreciate this pleasing operation. The winner of this first game should no longer be a mystery..."
As the game progressed, Forsaken transformed into the cold-blooded god of death on the battlefield, harvesting one head after another with his extremely accurate shooting skills. No team could compete with him.
This team from the Southeast Asia region is like a dark horse, announcing its existence in an unmatched manner.
The old clubs with considerable strength in traditional e-sports events, whether it is China, neighboring South Korea, or the European and American teams that have always maintained their dominance in FPS games, are no match for it.
"I believe that after this game, everyone will remember forsaken. This player from Southeast Asia is simply the light of Southeast Asian e-sports..." the commentator boasted excitedly.
As the game came to the finals, in the face of "absolute strength", forsaken defeated his opponent again without any suspense, and the final kill count stopped at 29!
As the words “Good luck, we eat chicken tonight!” popped up on the screen, four contestants with slightly dark skin jumped up from their seats to celebrate their victory in the first game.
When Zhou Dongsheng saw this familiar number, he couldn't help but think of something. A strange thought emerged in his mind. Could it be...
In order to verify his guess, Zhou Dongsheng casually instructed the staff to contact the referee to review the situation.
There wouldn't really be any professional players who would risk the world's condemnation to do such a thing, right?
Although Forsaken's ostentatious performance did not seem like a guilty conscience at all, coupled with the particularity of the professional arena, everyone would subconsciously ignore this issue, thinking that professional players would not risk ruining their reputation by doing such a thing.
However, similar incidents are not uncommon in other sports, and e-sports are no exception. Whether it is pulling out the network cable or taking advantage of the home court, there have already been precedents for these dirty things.
All crows are black, as the saying goes.
All tactics are for victory. Winning is the only goal. Tactics are naturally divided into on-field and off-field tactics...
At the same time, the referee walked towards forsaken's computer, negotiated with him and suggested checking the equipment. Unexpectedly, forsaken became a little flustered and took the initiative to operate the computer, as if he wanted to delete something.
The appearance of this scene seemed to confirm Zhou Dongsheng's guess. At the same time, through real-time live broadcast, this content also attracted the attention of countless viewers and contestants.
"Hey, we saw the referee communicating with Forsaken, and Forsaken seemed a little reluctant, as if he wanted to check his equipment. This is a very common behavior in professional competitions, but Forsaken's behavior is a little abnormal, eh..."
The commentator was surprised and said that before he finished speaking, a dispute broke out on the field. This unexpected scene instantly touched the pain points of many viewers.
In the blink of an eye, barrages of comments instantly filled the screens of the event live broadcast rooms of major live broadcast platforms. Countless players were posting barrages of comments, and the popularity of the live broadcast rooms soared.
There is no doubt that the added heat brought by this sudden event directly formed an invisible driving force, pushing the first "PUBG" Global Invitational to the forefront.
Many spectators came following the sound, eager to know what happened on the field. At the same time, the news was spread in all directions by those who were curious about it.
For a time, the topic of "What happened in the PUBG World Championship" quickly spread on the Internet and began to continue to ferment.
To some extent, this can be regarded as a good start in disguise...
