The Strongest God

Ye Chenxi smiled and said: I don't know about that.

In fact, many people cannot figure this out. As the Tang Sect's puppet master, why didn't Liu Chuan direct the match with Cang Lan?

Only people from the Longyin team know that Liu Chuan actually doesn't mind the battle for The First Puppet Master. He does this just to give Lan Weiran more opportunities to perform and to let Si Lan practice more so that he can cope with the pressure more strongly. Playoffs.

Regrettably, Long Yin faced Team Canglan at home this time, and the three points in the group arena were not won as smoothly as last time.

Xu Ce played very calmly, but the cat god also lived up to his reputation. Last time at home in Hangzhou, he underestimated his opponent and was careless, which resulted in Xu Ce defeating him at the last minute. As a top player, Li Cangyu cannot fall down twice in a row in the same pit. This time Li Cangyu played very cautiously, always guarding against Xu Ce's big explosion, and used the slow-tempo kiting attrition tactic to slowly tilt the balance of victory to the Canglan team, and scored 3 points for the Canglan team in the group arena.

In the team battle stage, Si Lan still showed a strong overall view, winning two flags in the top and bottom lanes. Unfortunately, the black flag in the middle lane was taken away by Li Cangyu, and the score was finally determined at 4:5.

This score dissatisfied many fans of Longyin Team who came to watch the game. Losing points at home can easily have a serious impact on the team's morale. Fortunately, even if they lost by 1 point, the players of Longyin Team did not seem to have any problems. Although there was a trace of frustration, everyone's expressions were actually very calm, and the fans who came to watch felt more at ease.

Liu Chuan said as early as in the first stage interview: In the second stage, our tactics will be thoroughly studied by all major teams. In addition, the influence of the home map advantage is getting smaller and smaller, and it will only be more difficult to score points.

As expected by Liu Chuan, it was very difficult to score points in the second stage. After playing Canglan with a score of 4:5, they then went to Qingdao to play Qixingcao, but they failed to score satisfactory points.

When Liu Chuan played Qixingcao in Changsha, he asked Si Lan to take down Chen Xiaobei, which gave Xu Ce a sufficient early advantage and successfully won 3 points in the arena. However, Qixingcao failed in the arena stage this time. Instead of the immature Chen Xiaobei, he sent out two top aces, Ye Zhou and Su Shilun, plus Xue Ke, who has always played calmly, as the opening player of the group arena - this was obviously Xiao Sijing specially given to Long. A luxurious arena package prepared by the Gin Sentai.

Su Shilun came out to defend the ring and finally succeeded in winning 3 points of the main flag.

During the team battle stage, Xiao Huang chose an air battle map that surprised everyone—Yunxiao City.

This is a city in the sky, like an ethereal fairyland, with extremely beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, once you step on the air and fall, it will be a tragedy to fall into the mud.

The air combat map does not appear often in the regular season of the professional league. This is because there are too many uncertain factors in the air combat map. Often, if you accidentally step on the air, you will fall to your death... Several newcomers from the Longyin Team faced this. The difficult air battle map did not fully demonstrate his own level. Xiao Sijing made full use of his home field advantage to win two flags in a row, and finally won the score of 7:2.

The losses in two consecutive games made the outside world unable to help but start to question: Will Longyin Team be like those new teams in the past, which performed well in the first stage but continued to decline in the second stage?

In fact, this is a very common phenomenon in the professional e-sports circle, and people call it the new team curse.

New teams that have just come to the league often have upset scores against the strong teams because everyone is not familiar with them. But after all the teams have competed with them and found out the details of the new team, the new team's performance will plummet in the second stage. Various omissions in the cooperation of teammates and the mental flaws of the new players will be like being eliminated. A magnifying glass magnifies and appears in front of everyone.

So far, the only team that can break the curse of a new team is the Xuelang team that appeared in the tenth season. Under the leadership of captain Fang Zhiyan, they worked hard after a period of continuous loss of points. In the first game of their debut They directly entered the playoffs this season and even won the trophy. Therefore, the Snow Wolf team is also known as the strongest dark horse in the history of the league.

Will Team Longyin become a dark horse team? Or is it just a flash in the pan?

Many people are speculating, and even the fans of Team Longyin are a little uneasy.

After the start of the second stage, all major teams tried their best, and the first two games were very fierce.

In the team standings, Longyin was ranked fifth with a total score of 100 points at the end of the first stage. After these two games, it fell to sixth place with a score of 106 points. The Xuelang team, which was originally ranked sixth, was ranked sixth. With a total score of 107 points, he overtook Longyin and ranked fifth - it is said that Yang Jian has been as brutal as a bloodbath recently, playing two consecutive games of 5:4 against the two strong teams, Tongque and Shengtang.

On the contrary, Liu Chuan, who is the elder brother, has lost continuously. When he played Canglan, he sat in the audience and played soy sauce. When he played Qixingcao, he lost in the air battle map... There were many doubts from the outside world. They felt that Long Yin had continued to lose. Lose, it is unreasonable for captain Liu Chuan to be so leisurely.

However, Liu Chuan is very calm. He knows the current situation well and has his own plans for the future of Team Longyin. His goal is very firm and cannot be shaken even if he loses for a moment.

No matter how noisy the outside world is, the internal atmosphere of Longyin Team is quite relaxed.

soon

To face Luohuaci, the third opponent in the second stage, everyone gathered together as usual for pre-match tactical analysis. Liu Chuan pointed to the standings on the big screen and said: In the first game of the second stage, we lost to Canglan 4:5. ; In the second game, we lost to Qixingcao 2:7, but don’t forget, in the first stage, we defeated Qixingcao 5:4 and Canglan 7:2, so overall, we won from The points gained and lost by Canglan and Qixingcao are the same... Come and do the math, top student.

Um. Wu Zewen counted carefully. We scored a total of 11 points from Canglan and 7 points from Qixingcao. Qixingcao took 11 points from us, and Canglan took away 11 points from us. We took away 7 points... Overall, against these two teams, we scored a total of 18 points and lost 18 points.

Liu Chuan smiled and said: So, we are actually tied, are you right?

Everyone:...

Others were dumbfounded. Captain, your way of comforting yourself is really amazing!

However, what Liu Chuan said makes sense. In the regular season, they are ranked according to total points, and the points scored and dropped are equal. This means that their ranking will not be too low. It depends on the performance of other teams. Currently ranked sixth, Longyin is still in danger of entering the playoffs, and the following teams will definitely have to work harder in the later stages.

After losing two games in a row, do you think this is the team's lowest period? You are too naive. I have experienced the trough period of losing ten games in a row. Don't worry, there will be a tough guy next called Luo Hua Ci.

Liu Chuan's words brought everyone's thoughts back, and everyone was speechless.

Yu Xiangyang couldn't help but said: Captain, what do you mean? The trough of losing ten games in a row? Why don't you curse us before the game even starts and we will lose ten games!

Of course I hope we can win, it was just a metaphor. Liu Chuan said with a smile, but this match with Luo Hua Ci will definitely be very difficult. Si Lan, you have to be mentally prepared. Since your apprentice said something last time to let you realize how powerful he is, he will definitely do it this time. We came prepared. The biggest reason why we were able to break Luo Hua Ci’s death curse for the Qiang team at home in Shanghai was that the sudden change of command from you made Team Ye too surprised and couldn’t keep up with the rhythm. Now that he is prepared, you will be the one to command this game. It won’t work as well as it did the first time.”

Lan Weiran nodded and said: I know, I will think carefully about how to fight.

Chapter 318: Master and apprentice meet again

Ye Chenxi actually attached great importance to this game. He spent three days analyzing and studying the composition of the Longyin team and possible tactical arrangements. The playing styles commanded by Lan Weiran and those commanded by Liu Chuan were completely different. The same, because these two people are the main output positions. If Lan Weiran is the output, he and Qin Ye will definitely break through the enemy together; if Liu Chuan is the output, they will cooperate with Wu Zewen's two long-range attacks. What should be done to deal with different lineups, this is the focus of Ye Chenxi's study.

Time flies very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the third round of the second stage. This time the Longyin team will compete with Luohuaci at home in Changsha.

Ye Chenxi has relatives in Changsha, so he is very familiar with this city. He still remembers that he came here to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year last year. He happened to recognize Lan Weiran's vest sky in an online game. He was very excited when he learned that his master was back. , then he drove to pick up Lan Weiran and went to have a cup of coffee.

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and the coffee shop was still in a familiar location, and his master was still in the Longyin team. They were about to meet again in Changsha.

In the second battle between master and apprentice, Ye Chenxi believes that in this game, he will be able to prove his true level.

The night before the game, after Ye Chenxi arrived at the hotel, he specially sent a text message to Lan Weiran: Master, I am here.

Lan Weiran replied: Well, don't worry, I will wait for the master to nüè you tomorrow.

Ye Chenxi couldn't help but smile and replied: Okay, I'm very much looking forward to how you will direct tomorrow.

Lan Weiran replied: Don't make excuses in advance, I won't be in charge tomorrow.

Ye Chenxi smiled: Really?

Lan Weiran said seriously: Liu Chuan will be in charge tomorrow.

Ye Chenxi naturally didn't believe it.

During the competition on the second day, the players of Team Longyin did not change during the arena stage. Wu Zewen, Lin Tong and Xu Ce faced off against Hu Bin, Li Jun and Ye Chenxi from Luo Hua Ci.

Different from the last game where Ye Chenxi was the first to appear and kill two, in this away game, Longyin had the advantage of choosing a map, so Ye Chenxi chose a safer way - to appear last. Pressure the battle.

The first player Luohuaci sent out was the young player Hu Bin. It was also because this young man had a calm personality and played the long-range Yuxiao Xiaoyao type. He would not suffer too much against the long-range Wu Zewen of the Longyin team.
