Chapter 321 The Real Opening Battle
After the "Pro Evolution Football 4" exhibition game ended, the projection screen on the stage was quickly put away, and the metal bracket on which the projector was installed was also returned to its original position. This time, instead of the previous combination of Lin Musen and Yan Yuxin, Lu Qiuya from Fengyun Game Club and Duan Xuan from CCTV were paired up.

Wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, Duan Xuan was holding a microphone, smiling, and made a joke: "Hi everyone, the "Pro Evolution Soccer 4" match just now was so exciting that I almost forgot to go on stage."

"Me too." Lu Qiuya cooperated wittily and said, "Hehe~"

"Now that the exhibition game is over, we have to turn to the topic and continue to invite guests to draw lots for us." Duan Xuan looked behind and said, "Then who will our next guest be?"

The passionate drumbeat sounded, and Lu Qiuya turned sideways and said, "...Please... the production director of Guangzhou Tianyou...Mr. Ren Haoqiang!"

As soon as Lu Qiuya finished speaking, a young man wearing a beige short-sleeved shirt and black trousers appeared on the slowly rising platform below the stage. It was Ren Haoqiang, the production supervisor of Guangzhou Tianyou that she mentioned, and the author of "Three Kingdoms". "One of the main creators of the series.

"Isn't it the first time for Mr. Ren to come to BJ?" Duan Xuan stretched out the microphone and asked.

Ren Haoqiang nodded and said: "Yes, I used to work in BJ for a while, and I only went to Guangzhou in the last two years. When I came back this time, BJ has changed so much that I almost couldn't find where I used to live."

"It seems that Mr. Ren's feelings are very deep." Lu Qiuya leaned over and said, "Then, Mr. Ren, please help us to draw out the groups of "Three Kingdoms 3"..."

Ren Haoqiang nodded again, and under Lu Qiuya's guidance, he began to fumble in the lottery box brought up by a staff member. The grouping method of "Three Kingdoms 3" is similar to that of "StarCraft". It is also divided into upper and lower halves. The top two in each half are determined through a single round-robin points match (3 points for a win, 0 points for a loss). No.1 in the upper half will play against No.2 in the lower half, and No.2 in the upper half will play against No.1 in the lower half to compete for the final spot.

It may be due to differences in cultural customs. Most of the players participating in the "Three Kingdoms 3" competition are from China, Japan, and South Korea. There are very few players from Europe and the United States, so that the "Three Kingdoms 3" competition has become a bit A3 The taste of the league.The group draw was completed soon, and the final battle situation of "Three Kingdoms 3" became clear. Perhaps it was a coincidence that the distribution of players from each country was very even. At least the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean players with the largest number of players did not appear in one team. The situation of getting together in the district.

According to the process, there should be some performances before the group draw of the next competition game "Special Warriors", but unlike the previous exhibition games, this time it is really a pure performance. A group of girls from art schools danced. After a passionate dance, the relatively cool clothes rushed towards the face with a youthful atmosphere. The male players sitting in the audience area suddenly felt refreshed, and even their eyes were a little bigger than they were at the beginning. Of course, like Chen Xu Except for those who keep looking sideways.

Maybe it was the China-Korea confrontation that consumed too much passion, maybe it was the youthful dances of the beauties that took away too many people's souls, so that the subsequent group draw and interspersed "Street Fighter Zero3" competition did not arouse Everyone was too interested, and many people sat there with a look of lack of interest, staring at the stage with blank eyes, until the real opening game of WCG, the only official game in the whole morning, "StarCraft" "The situation improved when the first points match in the first half started.

The projection screen on the stage was lowered again, and the shots of the two contestants soon appeared on it. In order to heighten the atmosphere, it seemed to be intentionally separated from the left and right. The one on the left was "Hongzf" Hong Zhefu, and on the other side "Jeeps" Zhang Lei appeared on the screen. The two sat in front of their respective computers. Perhaps because they were too familiar with each other, their expressions seemed relatively relaxed.

"StarCraft first half match... Hongzf vs. Jeeps...

Hongzf won the second Sina StarCraft Championship on April 1999, 4, the first 24 National StarCraft Championship on August 1999, 8, and the Millennium StarCraft Masters Invitational Championship in Kunming on January 24 this year... "Looking at the screen in front of her, Lu Qiuya skillfully introduced with a sweet voice that Fengyun Game Club's years of work have allowed her to grow from a young girl, and she can play freely in a competition of this scale .

The familiar "StarCraft", coupled with the beautiful temperament of the hostess live commentary, the players in the audience area suddenly cheered up, and most of their eyes were cast on the huge projection screen in the middle of the stage, occasionally from the commentary. She swept across Lu Qiuya's face to feel the inexplicable heartbeat at that moment.

At this time, the game selection screen appeared on the projection screen. "Hongzf" set up the host, and then selected their respective races with "Jeeps". "Hongzf" used the Protoss, while "Jeeps" chose his most skilled Terran.

"Hongzf vs. Jeeps..."

"God Race vs Human Race..."

"Ready... Go!"

The game has officially begun...

Due to understandable regulations, what appears on the projection screen is not the view of a certain player, but the view of the referee specially used for the game, and there is also a male voice commenting on the operations of the two players.

"... Now it can be seen that after the start of the Jeeps, 8 construction vehicles (SCV) are first built to mine, and then they are built in the order of supply station (Supply), construction vehicle (SCV), barracks (Barracks), and refinery (Refinery) , and then when it was the 12th construction vehicle (SCV), I ran to the door and made a bunker (Bunker), and the location was quite particular...

Hongzf on the other side used the traditional two-barracks start, first built 7 probes (Probe) to collect resources, then placed a crystal tower (Pylon), built 2 more probes (Probe), and immediately Commencement of construction of gas production plant (Assimilator)...

……

After Jeeps built the bunker (Bunker), they immediately built a forge (factory)... At this time, Hongzf has already started to climb the technology tree...

The Jeeps scouts quickly found Hongzf's location, observed it from a distance, and quickly retreated. After the forge (factory) was completed, another one was built...

When Hongzf sent scouts to the high ground at nine o'clock, they were repelled by the soldiers standing in the bunker, and then Hongzf sent three more fanatics to go straight to the high ground at nine o'clock..."

Lu Qiuya, who was standing on the side of the stage, listened to the professional comments coming from the earphones, and made series connections. After all, she was still not very familiar with games like "StarCraft", so it didn't matter if it was a small-scale event. But in this kind of global competition, if there are any big omissions in the commentary, it will be a big joke, so in order to ensure the smooth progress of the game commentary, Lin Musen also contacted a group of professional game players and these hosts The partner is the temporary commentator of the game. For example, this "StarCraft" is explained by a game ID called "Kan Yuliang".

After the initial stage of probing each other, Hong Zhefu and Zhang Lei finally started the first round of formal attacks by coincidence after some preparations.

"...Hongzf built a transport plane, loaded it with a golden beetle, and set off. He flew to the center of the map, loaded the two zealots standing next to the temple, and went straight to the Jeeps base. On the other side, Jeeps A transport ship was also built, loaded with four vultures that had been upgraded with mines, and circled to the direction of 11 o'clock on the map, intending to airdrop it to Hongzf's base...

The two airdrops were completed almost at the same time. When Hongzf's two fanatics and a golden beetle landed on the Jeeps base, the four vultures airdropped by Jeeps also appeared in Hongzf's base..."

In the first round of attack, because both sides returned to their own bases in time to defend, coupled with reasonable troop operations, after each lost some engineering vehicles and detectors responsible for resource collection, they repelled the opponent's attacking troops. With the vulture's speed advantage, Zhang Lei killed slightly more detectors.

Unwilling to end the attack hastily, Zhang Lei immediately launched another attack, manipulating four vultures to run to the high ground where Hong Zhefu's base is located. The Dark Templar and the vultures immediately planted mines, and then took advantage of their speed to go around the mining area and aimed their spearhead at Hong Zhefu's resource-collecting detectors. If the golden beetles hadn't returned to defense in time, there might not be a few detectors left in the mining area. one.

As the detectors were repeatedly attacked, Hong Zhefu's financial situation was slowly pulled away by Zhang Lei, and he began to become a little embarrassed. His expression was not as calm as it was at the beginning. See the sweat streaming down his brow on the big screen TV.

After some investigation, Zhang Lei, who had an economic advantage, decided to launch a general attack after confirming that the opponent did not divide into bases. He organized two teams, one consisting of 8 vultures, to drive outside Hong Zhefu's base, intending to launch a feint attack. The other is the main attack force, including 7 marines, 4 tanks and 3 vultures.Zhang Lei's plan was to use a feint attack force to attract the opponent's attention, and then parachute the main force to Hong Zhefu's rear. Unfortunately, the defensive force of a fort and a golden beetle made this plan fail.

Zhang Lei simply put the two troops together, rushed in from the outside of Hong Zhefu's base, and directly launched a strong attack. At this time, due to economic distress and frequent harassment from the opponent, Hong Zhefu's army only had one magician left. With a golden beetle and a fort that is a bit off the beaten path, the strength gap between the two sides is obvious.

Not long after, Hong Zhefu lost his resistance under the opponent's flood of attack and could only be forced to play "GG", and Zhang Lei also won his first victory and got 3 points.

……

Zhang Lexing pressed the remote control in his hand to switch to another channel with a relatively soothing program. He is currently in Hong Kong Leshan Hospital. This hospital is a general private hospital he invested in and built a few years ago. It adopts a hotel-style design. Breaking through the traditional model of the hospital, the lobby has an arched skylight that can transmit light to increase brightness. The furniture in the ward is in soft tones, and the uniforms of the nursing staff look very fresh, and they don’t even smell the common disinfectant in general hospitals.

Zhang Lexing initially invested in this hospital to make it easier for his own people to see a doctor. It just so happened that Chen Zishan felt a little unwell these two days.Seeing that Chen Zishan had fallen asleep just now, Zhang Lexing turned down the volume and watched the live broadcast of the WCG competition for a while. Then he saw that she woke up, so he changed the program. At least the scenery on the screen is now watching It makes people feel very comfortable.

With the help of Zhang Lexing, the hospital bed was rolled up, Chen Zishan leaned on it carefully, and said, "Lexing, you are not going to BJ, why haven't you left yet?"

"It's okay. I think you haven't been feeling well these two days. I'll go when you feel better. Anyway, my appointment with someone is the last day. How many days are there?" Zhang Lexing said with a smile.

"But your company is not very busy, is it okay to delay so many days?" Chen Zishan asked nervously.

"It's really okay, I've already made arrangements. Besides, the doctor said just now that if there is no problem in the inspection report later, you can go back soon. Don't worry, it's okay!" Zhang Lexing said with a relaxed expression on his face. Expression, persuaded her.

"Oh," Chen Zishan nodded slightly: "By the way, where is our mother? I remember she was still there before I fell asleep."

"I think our mother is working hard. Anyway, I have nothing to do today, so let her go back to rest first."

After chatting casually for a while, Chen Zishan felt a little tired again. Zhang Lexing slowly rolled the hospital bed back to its original position, let her lie down and continue to rest, while he himself sat on the sofa beside him, reminiscing about what he had read intermittently just now. WCG contest.The opening ceremony was very lively, and various performances interspersed between the group drawing ceremony set off the atmosphere of the scene very well. The passionate dance was full of youthful atmosphere, and the exhibition match and the official competition were equally exciting.

Especially for that unconventional "China-Korea Competition", the result was really unexpected, but for Zhang Lexing, such an ending was not completely unexpected. The team settings in "Pro Evolution Soccer 4" refer to the latest rankings of each team. The same is true for the Chinese team, but for some understandable reasons, the final indicators of the Chinese team are not as different from those of South Korea and RB. Not many, especially after selecting players reasonably, so as long as the game operator is capable and can give full play to the characteristics of the "Chinese team" in the game, it is not an impossible task to overthrow the Korean team.

WCG will last for a week. In addition to relatively boring game competitions, in order to enliven the atmosphere, the organizing committee also arranged many carnival-like activities, such as the starry night at night, such as dance machines, shooting machine competitions, etc. , in short, it is necessary to be able to hold e-sports competitions well and turn them into healthy and positive activities, but also not to turn the competition into a boring activity that makes people extremely nervous, so that everyone can experience the fun of the game.

For these arrangements, Zhang Lexing, the hands-off shopkeeper, has only seen it from the plan, and he really has no idea what it will turn out to be. He originally planned to go over to have a look at it earlier, but there was something wrong with Chen Zishan, so he had no choice but to postponed his trip.Fortunately, the doctor's examination results are not bad, and it is estimated that he will be discharged from the hospital in a day or two at most, so it should not delay his meeting with Arakawa Minoru.
