They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 90 I have a heart-to-heart connection with my fans

In mid-July, the WCG China Division Finals finally kicked off.

When Zhang Wei came to the competition site, he did see many e-sports greats from ancient times.

The circle of domestic e-sports players is not large. Well-known players basically know each other. Even if they have never met, they have heard their names.

Only Zhang Wei is a newcomer.

"Who is this ZW Zhang Wei? I've never heard of it before!"

"It seems like he is a newcomer from the Beijing Division."

"A newcomer who appears suddenly and can compete in the capital competition area where experts gather there must be something special!"

"Wait for xiaOt to arrive in a while, and you will know after asking him. xiaOt is the champion of the Beijing Division, and he must have fought against this ZW!"

The players who had just received the group list began to discuss this time's grouping.

A total of 24 players from all over the country participated in the finals. These players were divided into four groups of six people each and played in a round robin. The top two in the group advanced. This competition system is quite cruel.

SKY Li Xiaofeng, the future number one e-sports player in China, stared at the list in his hand solemnly. He was placed in Group B, a group of death. In the same group was China's famous No. 1 Dark Night. Elf suhO.

At this time, the two were teammates on Team Yoliny, which was the predecessor of Team WE.

2004 was suhO's best year. Li Xiaofeng felt that he was no match for suhO. It would not be easy to break out of the death group this time.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side: "Brother Gai, can you take a photo with me?"

Li Xiaofeng followed the voice and saw that the person speaking was a stranger holding a digital camera in his hand.

"Are you calling me?" Li Xiaofeng asked subconsciously.

"Yes, Brother Gai. I am your number one fan. Can we take a photo with you?" The other party nodded.

This title made Li Xiaofeng a little uncomfortable. Although his game ID was SKY, this was the first time someone called him Brother Gai.

More than ten years later, Li Xiaofeng is already familiar with this title. As the "number one e-sports person in China", no matter whether he is older or younger than him, he will be called "Brother Gai".

"This fan probably doesn't have much education. He didn't learn English well in junior high school, so he calls me Brother Gai." Li Xiaofeng thought to himself.

When he saw a fan asking for a photo and shouting "Ge Ge", Li Xiaofeng certainly wouldn't refuse and happily took a photo with him.

When the two stood together, Li Xiaofeng discovered that what the other person was wearing on his chest was a contestant's competition certificate.

"It turns out he's not a fan, but a contestant! I don't know which event he's in!"

In addition to Warcraft 3, there were also players from StarCraft, CS, FIFA2004 and other projects on site.

"Which sport are you a player in? CS? FIFA? Or Need for Speed?" Li Xiaofeng asked.

Li Xiaofeng first played StarCraft, and he either knew or looked familiar to the StarCraft players who came to compete. Of course he knew all the World of Warcraft players. When meeting such a stranger, I would just blindly guess that he is from another project.

"No, Brother Gai, like you, I also fight World of Warcraft." The other party smiled slightly and continued to introduce himself: "My name is Zhang Wei!"

"You are the ZW Zhang Wei from Group A!" Li Xiaofeng nodded in realization.

Although the name Zhang Wei is ordinary, it is easy to remember. Li Xiaofeng had seen this name in the list and it was immediately imprinted in his mind without having to remember it.

"What race do you use?" Li Xiaofeng asked next.

"Just like you, Brother Gai, you also use the human race." Zhang Wei replied.

"There are many human players entering the finals this year, and Guo Bin is in your group. It's not easy to qualify. Come on!" Li Xiaofeng encouraged.

Zhang Wei was placed in Group A. Although this group was not considered a death group, it did include a leading figure in Chinese e-sports at the time, CQ2000 Guo Bin.

CQ2000 once represented the Chinese team and participated in the 2003 WCG World Finals and won the runner-up. If he could have further won the championship at that time, maybe the number one e-sports player in China would not be SKY Li Xiaofeng, but him.

The key is that CQ2000 is a human player, so he cannot use SKY to deal with human players.

Moreover, this time WCG and CQ2000 also signed up for the StarCraft project and entered the China finals.

In addition to CQ2000, there are several masters in Group A, but none of them are human. Zhang Wei is not weak at all.

……

The games of Group A and Group B started at the same time. It was a pity that Zhang Wei did not have the opportunity to watch the SKY game.

In the first game, Zhang Wei used a wave of flow to kill a powerful night elf player with lightning speed. In the second game that followed, we met last year’s world runner-up CQ2000.

Before the game, Zhang Wei reported his race to the referee. This time he did not choose the human race, but the night elf.

Using one wave to defeat the human race is ineffective, so in the past few days, Zhang Wei specially practiced a night elf tactic against the human race, preparing to deal with the human race players in the game.

CQ2000 was originally prepared to fight a human civil war, but Zhang Wei changed the race, which was indeed a bit unexpected. After all, in this era of Warcraft, humans were at a disadvantage against the night elves.

Moreover, CQ2000 is still a bit out of the battle.

After finishing second in the world last year, CQ2000 continued to go back to college. He hardly practiced seriously in the past year, and only practiced for a few days until the competition was approaching. At this time, he simply does not have the same level and condition as last year. When the opponent suddenly changed their formation, all the previously prepared ideas were invalid, which caught CQ2000 off guard.

What really surprised him was Zhang Wei's tactics.

Zhang Wei actually used the tactic of starting a wave of Naga!

Naga is a neutral hero. When this hero was first created, it had the best panel attributes in the game, and Naga has an ice arrow skill that can reduce the enemy's movement speed and attack speed.

Movement speed in the game is definitely more important than other attributes such as attack or defense. Higher movement speed means high maneuverability.

Your speed is faster than your opponent, so your opponent can't catch up with you when you run away, and when you chase your opponent, your opponent can't run away either. In this case, you will always be the only one flying your opponent's kite, but your opponent will be helpless against you.

Not only real-time strategy, but other games also focus on speed.

When you play LOL or King of Glory, if your opponent is slowed down, you can get the kill with a combo of moves.

When you play CSGO, in order to run faster and grab points at the beginning, you always rush forward with a knife.

When you play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, you will definitely find a car when running drugs. Without a car, running drugs is basically a living target for people to practice their guns.

Even if you are playing a turn-based Fantasy Westward Journey, you have to add black gems to your belt. You would rather sacrifice health to gain speed and strike first.

Therefore, skills that speed up oneself or slow down the enemy are top skills in the game.

As for the hero Naga, in addition to slowing down the enemy, he also moves very fast.

The version of Warcraft I was playing at that time was 1.15, and Naga was still a high-speed hero. Buy yourself a pair of shoes, and add the ice arrow to slow down, so Naga could keep flying the opponent's kites.

It is precisely because Naga is too strong that in the next version, Blizzard will directly weaken Naga into a normal speed hero, reducing Naga's movement speed. From then on, there is no Naga kiting tactic.

In that era when Naga was still a high-speed hero, the suppression of the first Naga of any race was a very powerful tactic.

For the night elves, the kiting tactic is particularly suitable, because the night elves are all long-range troops in the early and mid-term. You can hit others, but others cannot hit you. Using the kiting tactic, the opponent cannot even touch your soldiers. They were all shot to death.

CQ2000, who had been in the battle for a long time, had obviously never seen this kind of tactic of Naga starting with a wave of attacks. He was fighting monsters and leveling up when he found Naga rushing over with archers.

Naga's attributes are already good. If you select Ice Arrow as the first-level skill, you will have combat effectiveness. No leveling is required.

Then, relying on the speed difference and flying kites infinitely, the CQ2000 soldiers were shot to death one after another, unable to escape even if they wanted to. Slowly adding up, Zhang Wei had an absolute advantage in strength, and then took away CQ2000 in one wave.

Zhang Wei's third opponent is an orc. Orc players will lose their lives when facing SKY. There is no suspense in losing to Zhang Wei.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Wei has won three consecutive games. Although there are still two group matches left, he has already secured qualification at this time.

The e-sports players of that era still had a bit of chivalry. After losing three games, many players knew that they had no hope of qualifying and would simply forfeit the next games without thinking of dragging another person into the trap.

Sometimes, although I have not lost so many games, I find that I am lagging behind in terms of victory and defeat. Even if I win later, I will not be able to qualify, so I will also choose to abstain.

If you win three games in a row, you can advance as long as there is one person who abstains from the game.

The reality is indeed like this. Although Zhang Wei's next opponent has one win and two losses, the relationship between victory and defeat is lagging behind, and it is no longer possible to appear, so he simply abstains. Let Zhang Weibai pick up four wins, qualify early and advance to the quarterfinals.

In the fifth game, Zhang Wei, who had already qualified, also chose to abstain, showing a wave of chivalry.

……

The quarterfinals on the second day were still a double-elimination format.

Zhang Wei's first opponent is his old friend xiaOt Sun Liwei.

This game attracted a lot of attention, mainly because xiaOt is famous enough.

Li Xiaofeng also came behind xiaOt early and found the best viewing position. He wanted to take a look at xiaOt's recent status.

xiaOt had a solemn expression on his face, he was going to hit fans again!
In the previous finals of the Beijing Division, Zhang Wei was obviously lethargic, and xiaOt could also feel it. But at that time, both of them had already qualified for promotion, so it was normal for them to let go.

Now that it's the promotion round for the quarter-finals, Zhang Wei won't let it go!

"xiaOt looks very nervous. With his level, is it necessary to be like this when playing against human race?" Li Xiaofeng looked confused. He felt that with xiaOt's competition experience, it shouldn't be like this.

Look at the other side again, isn’t xiaOt’s opponent that fan named Zhang Wei!
"Although I'm a fan with no culture, I'm pretty good at playing World of Warcraft, and I even advanced to the top eight in the country!" Li Xiaofeng thought to himself.

At this time, the game also started. In the early stage, the same process was still the same. Zhang Wei built a tower in the base to prevent xiaOt from harassing him, and then went out to level up with peace of mind.

A few minutes later, the results of the second book were completed. Zhang Wei bought the Beast King in the tavern and led a wave of farmers to kill him directly.

"The second-shot hero is the king of beasts?" Li Xiaofeng was stunned when he saw this scene.

"Isn't this the ultimate move I prepared secretly?"

Li Xiaofeng glanced at Zhang Wei in front of the computer opposite in surprise.

This must be a true fan, even the tactics came to mind with me!
It’s great, my fans and I have a heart-to-heart connection!
　Thank you all for coming to support me on New Year’s Day! We have advanced to the fourth round, but Sanjiang did not rush in this week, which seems a bit difficult. Fortunately, we can PK again next week, so I need your support next week! Thank you in advance!
