Entertaining Children

  Chapter 954 Double into the final

   "I feel like I've never been this handsome!" Fang Jiang looked at himself in the mirror and fiddled with the hair on his forehead quite proudly.

   "Minyi is a professional stylist. The image she made for us is of course different from the one we made by ourselves before!" Zhou Yong said, who is also looking in the mirror.

  This "Survivor" Asian Invitational Tournament is an open competition. There will be spectators during the competition. It is a public place. In addition to the skills and tactics during the competition, the personal image of the participating players should also be considered.

In the past, Zou Tianyu and others would specially dress up before the game, but they did not have special assistants and make-up artists. They usually did it by themselves or the female staff in the team to help them. A sense of sloppy and rough edges is fine. This time Xiao Yao teamed up with them to compete, using Pei Minyi, an assistant and makeup artist. Xiao Yao not only did the styling himself, but also asked Pei Minyi to take care of the three teammates.

Pei Minyi is a professional stylist and makeup artist. Although several people must wear team uniforms printed with the sponsor’s logo during the game, there is no choice in clothing, but only a new hairstyle, which does not look like it. The light makeup that has been put on, looks very different for a few people.

"Hey, if you have the ability, also fudge Minyi to our team." Zhou Yong touched Fang Jiang's arm and whispered, "Minyi will help us take care of our image before every game in the future. We can all be so handsome!"

  Pei Minyi spent a few days with the entire team. After getting acquainted with each other, everyone became more intimate and casual in terms of address.

"We're just drenched in Xiao Yao's light this time. Do you still want to be treated like this every time in the future?" Fang Jiang rolled his eyes at Zhou Yong. "People Minyi is a professional stylist and makeup artist. Teacher, come to our team to give us some makeup and styling? We are a game team, even if others are willing to come, will the owner of our club pay a lot of money?"

   "Who said that he definitely won't? Look at Tianyu, don't you fool Xiao Yao to our team, and also signed a contract with our club!" Zhou Yong said.

"Go, Tianyu, did you fool Xiao Yao to our team?" Fang Jiang said, "Xiao Yao is a firefighter this time and joined temporarily. Don't look at what contract Xiao Yao signed with our club. Can you still count on Xiao Yao to continue participating in the competition? One is a big star in the showbiz, the other is a professional stylist and makeup artist, is it so good to fool into our team? You have the ability to fool me and show me ?"

  "I~" Fang Jiang stubbed his neck, then shook his head somewhat discouraged.

"Hey! Have you two look in the mirror enough? It's almost time to set off!" Tang You urged the two of them after packing up, "It's almost the match, the two big men still have the intention to look in the mirror, I I also served you two!"

   "What's the hurry?" The two said with a grin. But saying so, the two got up and packed up their game equipment.

  A few minutes later, the two of them packed up, went out together with Xiao Yao, Zou Tianyu and others who had packed up before, got in the car and set off.

  Today Saturday is the day of the preliminary and semi-finals. The time of the game was in the afternoon and evening. The departure time was close to noon. The six people first found a place outside and had a good meal before heading to the competition venue.

  When everyone arrived at the competition venue, there was still some time before the start of the game. Everyone rested in the lounge arranged by the organizer and chatted casually for some leisure days. It seemed that the mentality was very relaxed.

"Survivor" is a tactical and competitive shooting sandbox game. A game can accommodate up to 100 players playing online at the same time. Therefore, whether it is an individual or team game, it is not like a real-time strategy game. PK duel against one, but multiple teams or individuals in a melee.

  This competition is divided into individual competitions and team competitions. Of course, individual competitions are played in individual units, and team competitions are team competitions. This game has three game modes: individual single row, two-person team double row, and four-person team mixed row. However, there are only two game modes for this game. The individual game is single row, and the team game is four people. The mixed platoon mode of the team.

  However, this is an open game after all. The format of the game is not a melee with a hundred players in each game like ordinary players usually play online. On the schedule, both competition modes need to go through the three stages of preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals. There are a total of more than 30 teams participating in the Asian Invitational this time. In the preliminary and semi-finals, they are all conducted in groups.

  The preliminary round is equivalent to a group stage, where all individuals or teams are divided into four groups to compete. The preliminary round will be held for five rounds. After calculating the points, about half of the players and teams that have been eliminated will enter the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, the remaining individuals and teams will be divided into two groups, and then five rounds will be played. After calculating the points, half of the players and teams will be eliminated, and the remaining players and teams will enter the finals on the second day.

  The schedule is for the preliminary and semi-finals of the individual competition on Saturday afternoon, and the preliminary and semi-finals of the team competition in the evening. The finals of the two competitions were placed on Sunday, because the number of rounds in the finals was also five rounds, so the finals of the individual and team competitions were all compared on Sunday afternoon.

  At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, the game begins. The first is the preliminary and semi-finals of the individual competition.

  Xiao Yao is a temporary firefighter who joined Zou Tianyu and others in the four-row team competition. He didn't plan to participate in the individual single row competition. However, the rules of the game are that the four players of each participating team will participate in the individual competition automatically. Xiao Yao is not the kind of character who surrenders before a fight and retire voluntarily. Besides, he did not regard himself as a real professional player. What kind of results will not feel ashamed, since his name appeared in the list of contestants, he did not apply for withdrawal.

  The teams participating this time are from several Asian countries including China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines. On average, each country has five or six teams participating, that is, more than 20 players. The preliminary round of the individual competition is divided into four groups. Players from the same country are definitely inseparable, so they can only separate people from the same team.

   Xiao Yao, Zou Tianyu and others are all divided into different groups, at least they will not meet in the preliminary stage. However, although there are no teammates in the same group, there are also four or five professional players from other teams in China in this group.

  The several Chinese teams that came to Korea to compete this time have encountered some problems more or less. For example, the Huaxia players who failed to come to South Korea due to visa issues are not the only two of Zou Tianyu's team, and other teams have also been refused visas. However, at most one person from other teams was rejected, and their lineup was the same as Zou Tianyu's team with four main players and one substitute. There was no extreme situation of temporarily finding a team leader to make up the number. All participating players were professional players.

  Although they are all from China, this is after all an event based on individuals and teams, and each other is also a competitor. Before the start of the game, there was not much contact between several China teams. Xiao Yao is only familiar with the e-sports circle, and only Zou Tianyu has contact with him and his teammates. Before the match, Zou Tianyu and others had no contact with other Huaxia team members, and of course Xiao Yao didn't know them much. So even though there are other Chinese professional players in the same group, Xiao Yao can only rely on himself in this individual match.

   Xiao Yao is very clear about his strengths and weaknesses. Although after a few days of special training, there has been a certain improvement in operational skills, compared with professional players, Xiao Yao still has a certain gap in operational details, which is his disadvantage. And his brain is much better than the average person. In terms of map details, such as the understanding and memory of resource points and car brush points, the overall situation, on-the-spot reaction, judgment and calculation of the battlefield situation, he believes that he is still better than the average professional. Players should be stronger.

  This competition is based on points to calculate results. The points are divided into two aspects. One is that the longer you survive, the fewer the number of characters remaining when the game character dies, the higher the points are. The other is that you can get fixed points by killing other players in the game, which is "killing". The more the number, the higher the points earned.

  Combined with his own advantages and disadvantages, Xiao Yao also adopted a relatively safe, but seemingly a little wretched tactic in the game.

In terms of inferior operation technology, the most obvious difference between Xiao Yao is the speed of searching for resources. Therefore, when choosing a landing point for parachuting, Xiao Yao has never jumped to a place with rich resources but a lot of people. , But choose some places where resources are medium or even barren, and not many people will choose to land on the mountain.

  Basically, there are only more than 30 players in each round in this game, which is much less than Xiao Yao's usual game, and the map is still the same. There are fewer people and more people. In the early stages of each game, Xiao Yao faces a lot less pressure. Even if you choose some medium resource points, it will be relatively safe. After searching for enough resources, Xiao Yao would not take the initiative to pursue the target of killing in crowded places, but to run where there were few people.

  His tactic is to survive as long as possible, and strive for ranking points in each round, instead of thinking about kill points. If it is judged that the road ahead is dangerous or in an ambush, Xiao Yao would rather take a poisonous detour outside the safe zone than rush to fight with people technically.

  Of course, Xiao Yao was not completely without points in several games. Although Xiao Yao has some gaps with ordinary professional players in his gun control skills, when he attacked his opponents by stealth and ambushes, Xiao Yao would not really be the "human body stroke" sunset spear technique. Occasionally, Can also be overcast to a few unlucky ones.

   With this seemingly trivial tactic, Xiao Yao succeeded in four of the five rounds of the preliminary round to be among the top ten in survival time, and in the other round he also got twelfth. Coupled with some points for kills, Xiao Yao actually successfully entered the rematch of the individual match.

  After dividing the remaining players into two groups, the individual rematch began again.

  In theory, after eliminating half of the individual players, the average level of players entering the rematch has improved, but Xiao Yao did not feel much difference in the game competition. In the semi-finals, Xiao Yao continued the awkward tactics of "stealth". In the five games, he once again won the top ten of the three survival times, and the other two were also in the top fifteen. In addition, he also sneaked and killed With a few players, Xiao Yao actually passed the semi-finals and reached the final of tomorrow's individual competition at the end of the final game.

  The preliminary and semi-finals of the individual competitions ended at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the team competition in the evening started at 7 o'clock. The middle period was both a rest time and dinner time.

  The game in the afternoon is basically continuous, with a short interval between them. In order to avoid interference with each other, several players did not communicate during the game. It was not until dinner that everyone inquired about each other's results.

  Zou Tianyu’s four players entered the individual finals, but Zhou Yong and Fang Jiang failed to pass the semifinals. Only Zou Tianyu and Xiao Yao entered the finals of the individual competition.

  In the semi-finals, Zou Tianyu, Zhou Yong, and Fang Jiang were placed in the same group. They also knew each other's individual results. Only Xiao Yao was completely unclear. When Xiao Yao heard that Zhou Yong and Fang Jiang did not enter the finals, the expression on his face was quite surprised.

   But compared to Xiao Yao's surprise that Zhou Yong and Fang Jiang did not enter the finals, the other three were obviously much more surprised that Xiao Yao made it to the finals. After hearing Xiao Yao say that he had reached the finals, the open mouths of the three of them did not close for a long time.

  A few people have been training together for a few days, and they know each other's technical level very well. Xiao Yao, who has the worst technical level among the four, and who has not yet reached the level of professional players, made it to the finals. Instead, Fang Jiang and Zhou Yong, who are professional players, were eliminated in the semi-finals. Zou Tianyu could not help but tease two teammates Fan. Faced with this result, the two could not refute, and at one point they seemed very depressed.

  However, Zhou Yong and Fang Jiang’s surprise and frustration lasted for a meal. When the team competition started in the evening, the two quickly settled their moods and devoted themselves to the competition seriously.

  Compared with the results of the individual competitions, the results of the team competitions are more important to them. Regardless of the previous training in the club or the training sessions of the past few days, they also spent more time training together than individual training alone. When it comes to the game, their performance is also quite good.

  In the four-person team competition, Xiao Yao became a key protection target for the other three. When Xiao Yao basically did not act alone, at any time at least one teammate would accompany him to protect him.

  They did this, besides because Xiao Yao is the one with the worst technical level in the team, there is another reason that Xiao Yao, a non-professional player, is the tactical maker in the team.

  Through the training in the previous few days, the three of them have already understood Xiao Yao's level of playing this game very well. They not only know that Xiao Yao is in hand, which is the disadvantage of the technical level, but they also know the advantages of Xiao Yao in the mind, which is the level of judging the situation and formulating tactics.

  In the previous few days of training, they put Xiao Yao in the position of commander. After Xiao Yao outperformed Fang Jiang and Zhouyong in the individual competition in the afternoon to reach the individual finals, everyone also strengthened this arrangement. After all, Xiao Yao can eliminate a lot of professional players to enter the finals at the level of amateur players, and his application at the tactical level is definitely much better than ordinary people.

  With the cooperation and protection of the three professional players, Xiao Yao's tactical selection and application in the team competition are also different from the previous individual competitions. He is no longer blindly "growing trivial" and "stealth", but flexibly choose different tactics based on the judgment of the situation. When it was time to rush and fight the guns, he directed the four to go out and fight with others. When it was time to retreat or make a detour, he would retreat decisively, and there was no fixed tactical routine.

   Relying on the technical skills of three semi-professional players and reasonable tactical selection and application, the four of them have made great progress in the team competition.

In the five rounds of the preliminary round, their team won twice first, once second, and twice third in terms of survival time. The total kill points of the four members of the team basically ranked in the top four. Into the rematch.

In the five rounds of the rematch, their performance was still very good. They won the first, twice, third, and fourth. The team's total kill points were all ranked in the top four, and they scored tomorrow. Team finals.
