Chapter 137 The most pretentious way to win
On the final day, forty minutes before the start of the game, the audience was already packed.
Some enthusiastic spectators even played human waves. Their enthusiasm was like a burning fire, and the cheers shook the entire venue like a tsunami.
Nine times out of ten, these cheers are directed at Grubby, the Dutch Beast King.
In European and American countries, the World of Warcraft player with the most fans and the most popular player is none other than Grubby.
This is a competition held in the United States. You can imagine whether the audience will cheer for Grubby or Zhang Wei.
For Zhang Wei, this is definitely an away game.
But Zhang Wei didn't panic at all. He had absolute confidence in his own strength. Even if his opponent was Grubby, the Beast King, Zhang Wei could defeat him with twenty years of game understanding. .
What's more, it's the finals now. As long as you win this game, you can get a gold medal!
In 2001, the Chinese team won a WCG gold medal in the "StarCraft" 2v2 project, and it was a performance project.
Just like doubles champions in sports competitions are not as valuable as singles champions, 2V2 gold medals are definitely not as powerful as individual gold medals.
If Zhang Wei wins this game, he can win the first official gold medal for the Chinese team.
On the computer on the other side of the stage, Grubby's expression was slightly solemn. After all, in the finals, even star players will inevitably feel nervous.
Faced with Zhang Wei's wave of play, Grubby did not have full confidence to deal with it.
Both players have entered the host machine. Grubby has already selected the beast race, but Zhang Wei on the opposite side has not yet chosen a race, always showing a random state.
Suddenly, the referee asked both players in the dialog box if they were ready, and Grubby subconsciously replied "ready".
At the same time, Zhang Wei’s reply also appeared in the dialog box, which was also ready!
Then the game starts counting down, and then both parties enter the game.
"What happened? He forgot to choose his race! How could a professional player make such a mistake?"
Grubby was startled. He thought Zhang Wei made a mistake and forgot to choose his race. , the game would definitely be stopped, but the timeout he was waiting for did not appear.
The next second, Grubby realized that Zhang Wei was going to fight him randomly!
A surge of anger emerged from Grubby's heart.
"I am the European Beast King, and you actually use random to fight me. This is so disrespectful! Just wait, I will beat you out in a while!"
......< br>
In the commentary box, the two commentators also sounded surprised at this time.
"I just confirmed with the referee that ZW didn't forget to choose the race, but he decided to participate in this game randomly!"
"Hitting Grubby randomly? Is ZW crazy? How arrogant is this? Arrogant!"
"Maybe ZW players are more confident in their four races!"
"I admit that there may be some players who are better at all four races, but The opponent is Grubby, and this is a BOS game. If you play against Grubby randomly, there is almost no chance of winning."
"I think that the ZW player should do this on purpose. Maybe he has a different attitude towards each race. We have prepared some targeted tactics.”
"Okay, the game has begun. Let's see what race the ZW players are randomly assigned to? It's the Night Elf!"
"It seems that the ZW players are not lucky. Night Elves are inherently disadvantaged when fighting against the Orcs. Except for Apart from Moon, I can't think of any night elf player who can beat Grubby. Unfortunately, Moon has been eliminated!"
At the same time, the audience immediately rang when they heard that Zhang Wei used random. There were boos.
"Too arrogant! Using random attacks is looking down on people!"
"This ZW is too arrogant, Grubby kill him!"
Then, when they saw Zhang Wei randomly arriving at the Night Elf, they immediately let out a deafening cheer.
“Grubby should have won this game!”
“The Orcs are relatively easy to beat against the night elves, and Grubby’s winning rate against the night elves is also very high.”
In the audience at this time, Grubby's supporters felt like they were popping champagne at halftime.
At the same time, Grubby in the game also detected that Zhang Wei was a night elf.
"It's the night elf!" Grubby let out a sigh of relief.
Facing the wave of human race, Grubby was somewhat guilty, but against the night elves, Grubby was full of confidence.
The night elf troops in the early and mid-term are all unarmored and lightly armored long-range soldiers. They are relatively fragile and are very afraid of close attacks.
The Orcs are mainly melee troops, and with their rough skin and thick flesh, they are superior to the night elves in terms of their troops.
Warriors can defeat archers, archers can defeat mages, and mages can defeat warriors. Basically, the conflict between arms in all games follows this logic.
...
Facing the Beast King Grubby, Zhang Wei can of course continue to use the human race, and then use a wave of waves to flatten the opponent.
But Zhang Wei feels that winning like that is not cool enough!
Since it’s the finals, you should show off and win more handsomely. So Zhang Wei directly chose random. In the WCG finals, I used randomness and was able to win the championship in the end. Isn’t it cool enough? Isn’t it awesome!
This is like playing the American team in the Olympic men's basketball finals, with Yao Ming playing point guard and Liu Wei playing center, and they won in the end. How awesome is this!
In the first game, when Zhang Wei saw that he was randomly assigned to the night elf, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic. This game was already a sure win.
Before 2005, the night elves were indeed at a disadvantage when fighting against the orcs. However, in 2005, with the emergence of Blowing Style, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides were reversed.
In the next ten years or so, the Orcs have always been dominated by the Night Elves' profligate force. Often an Orc army with a population of 70 is beaten by the Night Elf's Advocate of 50 people. The orcs' fight against the night elves has also become a history of blood and tears.
As I said before, the mage defeats the warrior, and the main force of the night elves, the raptor druid, is the mage class.
Moreover, the Raptor Druid can also release magic. One is fairy fire, which can reduce the opponent's armor. The other is blowing wind, which can blow the opponent's units into the air. Units blown into the air cannot attack or move. of.
This is equivalent to weakness plus control skills, targeting melee units.
Before 2005, it was not that no one thought of using blowing wind to deal with the orcs. However, the Raptor Druid unit was formed late and is relatively brittle. In many cases, the night elves are already GG before the Raptor Druid is formed.
Even if the Raptor Druid takes shape, and the Orcs’ hero levels and troop numbers are raised, they still can’t defeat them in a head-on confrontation.
But as night elf players continued to improve the details, the entire tactical system of Chuofengliu was gradually established.
In the early stage, the night elves did not level up at all. Instead, they accompanied the orc heroes and did not allow the orc heroes to develop.
In the second book, the night elves launched the second beast king, and went to the orcs' homes to demolish the buildings, restricting the orcs' population and technology, and delaying the formation of the orcs' military force.
Wait until the Raptor Druid force is formed, then fight the Orcs, and use props such as Better Group Replenishment Scrolls to exchange troops with the Orcs.
This often happens at this time. The Orcs have a population of 70 and the Night Elves have a population of 50. Both sides fight hard, but in the end only about 30 people are left.
But the night elves can replenish their population to 50 faster than the orcs can replenish their population to 70. They use this time difference to create a strength advantage and directly kill the orcs.
Of course, the Orc players also know this play process, but it is difficult to defend against it. It wasn't until World of Warcraft updated version 1.30 in 2019, which weakened the Raptor Druid and enhanced the Orcs, that the Blowing Flow gradually faded out of players' sight.
It is still 2004, and Zhang Wei has resorted to blowing the wind, which has caused headaches for orc players for more than ten years, and directly dealt a wave of dimensionality reduction blows to Grubby!
……
Facing Fengliu for the first time, Grubby had no idea how to deal with it.
In the early stage, Grubby's Prophet was accompanied by Zhang Wei's Demon Hunter and was unable to level up; in the mid stage, Zhang Wei's Beast King ran over desperately to demolish the underground cave and the second building, even if he died On the spot, Grubby's building must also be demolished.
By the time the troops from both sides met again, Zhang Wei's Raptor Druid had already taken shape.
After a fierce battle, both sides' troops were decimated, and they all returned to the base to replenish their forces.
However, while Grubby's soldiers were still in the barracks, Zhang Wei's army was already approaching!
Grubby was pinned to death in his base with a baffled look on his face.
“How did I lose?”
The moment he hit GG, Grubby was still shrouded in confusion. He recalled it carefully. He didn't seem to have made any mistakes, but how could he lose the game?
Blowing the Wind is a tactic that has been used to beat Orc players for ten years. It would be really strange for Grubby to be able to figure it out in a short time.
......
"GG! Grubby hit GG! Congratulations to ZW for winning the first game!" the commentator shouted loudly into the microphone, full of emotions.
However, the audience at the scene did not buy the ticket. Many people simply remained silent at the scene.
Of course, the American audience supports Grubby, but now it is Zhang Wei who wins the game. There are no boos at the scene, which can be regarded as a good spectator moral!
And in this game, Grubby's performance was not bad. He did not make any mistakes or mistakes. But even if they lost, the audience felt baffled.
Many viewers even felt aggrieved. How did they lose?
Moon, who was watching the game off the stage, was brightened. He sighed again: "Can this game still be played like this?"
Before this, Moon was disappointed with his loss. Zhang Wei was still a little unconvinced, feeling that Zhang Wei only used an opportunistic trick to defeat him. If you also use the big tree to level up, you will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Wei based on your own strength and experience.
After watching the game just now, Moon finally realized that Zhang Wei's understanding of the game was far superior to his own!
At this moment, Moon is absolutely convinced by Zhang Wei!
......
On the main stage, after a short break, the two players entered the host again.
The second game between the two sides began. This time, Zhang Wei randomly came to the Orcs. This was a civil war among the Orcs.
When the scene switched to Zhang Wei, and the audience saw that Zhang Wei randomly arrived at the Orcs, cheers rang out again.
"Win! Grubby definitely won this game! His strongest point is the Orc Civil War!"
"Grubby won the Orc Civil War, and the score was already 1 to 1 , get ready to watch the third game!”
“Both sides are of the same race, so it will definitely be a mirror-like development. In terms of operation, Grubby is definitely the strongest!”
Just as the audience finished speaking, the screen showed that the sword master appeared in Zhang Wei’s altar!
"Juggernaut! The first ZW player is not the Prophet, but the Juggernaut!" the commentator also shouted.
“ZW left the Prophet unused, but started the Juggernaut. What is he doing? Does he have any new tactics?”
Seeing Zhang Wei starting the Juggernaut, the audience was also excited Surprised doubts.
In that era, Juggernauts didn’t even play with dogs!
