Chapter 142: Coach Jiang's Operation

The finals of the Asian Championships and the World Series are both BO7 and best-of-seven games. Both sides have three home chances. If the first tie is 3:3, the final tie-breaker will have a random map and pattern.

The BO7 schedule is longer than the group stage and the knockout stage. Once the two sides are in a stalemate, it is likely to play 7 games, which means that the game will take more than 3 hours.

Therefore, the finals not only test the players' operational strength and tactical awareness, but also test the players' physical and psychological quality.

After a few games in a row, everyone gets tired.

Whether you can maintain a high operating speed and reaction speed in a fatigued state may have a fatal impact on the results of the competition.

Both players quickly adjusted their equipment.

At the scene of the game, the Japanese commentator quickly introduced the players from both sides, followed by: "In the pre-match quiz, 85% of the audience believed that the Korean team would win, and only 15% of the audience supported the Huaguo team!"

"Because the South Korean team has won the past five Asian Championships, in Asia, South Korea's e-sports strength is unmatched! Although the Huaguo team performed well in the first few games, the odds of winning against South Korea are not great."

"We see that the starting lineup of the South Korean team today is two scouts, Sage, Able, Sniper Simple, Charger Lofty, and Assaulter Real. Pure output violence lineup of snipers!"

"Yes, the captain of this Asian Championship, Sage, is the best rookie in the Korean A League; the sniper Simple is the winner of the Most Promising Rookie Award. The personal strength of the two is much stronger than that of Snow and Fred in Huaguo. And the double scout lineup will be very restrained by the Huaguo team's double sniper system."

"So, the Huaguo team's winning percentage is really small!"

Backstage, Anna, who can understand Japanese, couldn't help frowning and said, "Are they expecting Huaguo to lose? Are the official commentators so biased?"

Qi Heng said with a sneer: "Of course the Japanese commentators can't get used to our country. If we hadn't won Japan 2-0 in the group stage, they would still want to take the runner-up this year. But... this game is really difficult, just see How do you arrange it?"

He only knew that Jiang Shaoyu took the players to practice for an afternoon.

Qi Heng didn't know exactly what he had practiced, so he could only hope that Jiang Shaoyu would have special tactical arrangements.

The game started soon, the system randomly drew lots, and South Korea was the first to draw.

The first game is the home game of South Korea.

The coach of the Korean team submitted the pattern without hesitation: Endless Blood War.

They're going to play fast games.

The bloody battle mode is the simplest and rude game mode, and you can win by destroying the opponent. There is no need to tangle the IQ game between the police and the bandits, and there is no need to change the resurrection points and calculate the amount of ammunition as frequently as in the extreme mode. This is also the favorite mode of online gamers. No need to think too much, just do it.

The commentator of the Japanese team asked curiously, "What map will Coach Jiang ban?"

"If the Korean team has a dual reconnaissance system, Coach Jiang should ban the hidden assassination map that is more beneficial to reconnaissance?"

In China, the two commentators are also seriously analyzing: "There is a high probability of banning [Dark Swamp] and [Crystal Cave], [Dark Swamp] has 80% of the area on the water surface, you can sneak and assassinate underwater, this is the favorite for reconnaissance map."

"Yes, [Crystal Cave] is also a good map for reconnaissance. There are a lot of stalactite obstacles. Flexible reconnaissance can shuttle around and sneak around. Snipers will be blocked by obstacles and it is difficult to aim."

"I think the third Ban position can be given to [Stone Array]? The same multi-obstacle map, however, in this map, snipers can climb to the rocks to mount their guns, and the lineup of double snipers can also be played."

"Let's see how Coach Jiang arranges it."

The domestic audience stared nervously at the big screen, and the Japanese audience also raised their heads, looking forward to how Jiang Shaoyu, the head coach of the Huaguo team, would BP.

But the next moment, the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the screen collectively dropped their jaws!

Three consecutive red crosses hit the blank map.

——【Huaguo team releases BAN】

Jiang Shaoyu's action made the Korean coach couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Isn't it wrong?! Put Ban? How dare he put a Ban in front of our Korean team!"

The so-called "ban", that is, in the BP stage, a picture can not help.

Let the opponent choose whatever they want.

Usually, only when the team is in practice matches or when two teams are playing in a friendly match, they can agree in advance not to ban the map, and both parties can ban the map together.

However, in world events, there has never been a situation where Ban is released!

Jiang Shaoyu played Ban in this "precedent" final, which not only stunned the jaws of the live audience and the audience in the live broadcast room, but also the coach of the Korean team was stunned for a long time.

The live director immediately aimed the camera at Jiang Shaoyu——

The head coach of the Huaguo team, who was constantly operating, still looked very calm at this time, and the players of the Huaguo team did not have any surprised expressions on their faces. Obviously, this was something they had already discussed.

The Japanese team commented for a while before they came to their senses and said excitedly: "Huaguo team released Ban, which means that in this game, the Korean team can get the map they want the most!"

"Could it be that Coach Jiang thinks that he can play no matter what map Korea takes? That's too confident? No, it's just arrogant!"

The two domestic commentators were also silent at this time, and a dense barrage appeared in the live broadcast room——

【What is he thinking? This is the finals!】

[South Korea's double reconnaissance, the reconnaissance map he doesn't Ban? Don't tell me this is an operation error! 】

[Wing God's expression is very calm, it should not be an operation error]

[I don't understand. Why not Ban the map?】

[Could it be that the win in the group stage went well, and the mentality is floating?]

No Ban map, or absolute confidence in "I can play any map you choose". Or... a practice match?

The two commentators quickly reacted and tried their best to round the field: "Maybe God Wing thinks that this is a rare opportunity to play against the Korean team. Let the Korean team choose a map and play a practice match with them?"

"In this case, he has completely given up hope of winning the championship! Is this game just a training session?"

"...I really can't guess what Coach Jiang is thinking! Cough, let's watch the game."

The Korean team finally reacted, and Coach Han couldn't help smiling: "I understand. He thinks that he can't beat us even if he is banned from the map, so he might as well let it out for us to choose, and treat it as a match against South Korea. The team's practice game. They should be ready to take the runner-up."

"It makes sense." Captain Zheng Zhiyu said with a smile, "Anyway, they can take the runner-up, which is also the best result in history. They released the map to fight with us today, just to see the gap between them and South Korea."

At this moment, Jiang Shaoyu in the soundproof room looked very calm.

The South Korean coach was only half right.

Jiang Shaoyu released the map, indeed, to have a practice match with South Korea on the best reconnaissance map, and also to practice the pressure resistance of the national team players.

If the Asian Championships don't dare to fight South Korea head-on, they will only avoid its edge and ban the map that the other side is good at... What about the future World Championships?

What if we have a tiebreaker with South Korea in the future, and we happen to randomly arrive at a map with a reconnaissance advantage?

You have never dared to fight, and you won't be able to fight if you want to!

This Asian Championship is a rare opportunity to play against South Korea's double scouting system, just as the first game is a practice match.

However, Jiang Shaoyu's release of Ban does not mean that he gave up his hope of winning the championship. In BO7 games, the home map cannot be reused.

This is related to his formation in the next few rounds. Of course, netizens can't see it now. Except for Wing's die-hard fans who still believe in him, most passersby feel that——

Coach Jiang doesn't want to win the championship, he just wants to win the runner-up, so let's play a practice match with the Korean team!

Coach Han quickly submitted the game map: Dark Swamp.

Sure enough, he chose a water battle assassination map that was very beneficial to reconnaissance.

The water battle map grenade is useless, only smoke bombs can be used, both players quickly carry their weapons and wait for the map to load.

The refresh point on both sides of this map is a large lotus leaf on the edge of the swamp pool. If you want to change your position, you can only swim over it.

The dark swamp is dimly lit, 80% of the map is underwater, and the remaining 20% ​​consists of lotus leaves that can stand. The lotus leaves in the swamp pool are very densely distributed, and you can find the size of hiding/standing every time you swim a dozen meters. Different lotus leaves, therefore, this picture is also called "the best assassination picture".

In the murderous swamp pool, you don't know where the opponent will come out and give you a knife.

A sniper can of course stand on a lotus leaf and shoot into the water, but once you stand on a lotus leaf, you become a live target that all opponents can see!

The sniper's style of play in the swamp pool is usually to assist teammates in long-range fire suppression. They can use the short time when the body floats on the water to open the scope to aim, find someone, or shoot.

For snipers, this picture is really hard to hit.

Much harder to fight than the crystal cave!

The map is loaded and the game officially begins.

The five members of the Huaguo team refreshed on a large lotus leaf in the southeast corner, and the South Korean team was in the northwest corner, separated by an entire pond. The Korean team responded quickly and jumped into the swamp pool immediately.

On the Huaguo team's side, Pei Feng and Xiaogui dispersed and jumped into the pool.

Hua Ran and Shu Chen teamed up, and Qin Xueyao reconnaissance alone.

The players of the Korean team are very good at water battle maps. They dive into the bottom of the water collectively. Because the light in the “Dark Swamp” is very dark and there are a lot of lotus leaves in the swamp pool, it is difficult to lock their positions.

After a while, a crisp gunshot suddenly came from the right—

The sniper of the Korean team seized the opportunity and hid under a lotus leaf.

Hua Ran was shocked, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her palms.

Underwater lurking for 1 minute, you must take a breath, otherwise you will suffocate. He saw that the breathing bar was almost gone, but he just changed his breath and was shot by a South Korean sniper?

The Korean team's water combat capability is worthy of being world-class, and the opposite snipers don't know how long they have been in ambush under the lotus leaves!

For the first time, Hua Ran truly realized the gap between himself and the world-class players. He took a deep breath, and just as he was about to call Brother Chen, he saw Shu Chen swam here quickly to save him.

When Pei Feng heard the sound of gunfire, he immediately shot at the opposite sniper. One shot penetrated the lotus leaf and dropped the opponent in seconds! This precise marksmanship is not inferior to the snipers of the South Korean team.

But when Pei Feng shot, he also exposed his position. The audience from God's perspective could see that the two scouts of the South Korean team were lurking under the water one after the other.

Pei Feng sensed the danger and immediately cut his pistol to fight back. But the underwater vision was limited and the bullet was blocked. He only wounded the opposite Ahn Tae Hyun (Able), but was attacked by another scout, Jung Ji Woo (Sage)!

Hua Ran and Shu Chen teamed up to pack, and the two scouts from the Korean team quickly dispersed. The two sneaked into the sea like fish, swam nimbly, harvested quickly, and then attacked and killed the kid.

In the first wave of regiments, the Huaguo team made 5 for 3, and the South Korean team won.

In the second wave, Pei Feng thought of a way. He and the kid jumped into the water at the beginning, one left and one right, pulling the distance very far, hiding under the lotus leaves in the pond, and letting his teammates be the bait.

Shu Chen and Hua Ran teamed up to get rid of the snipers of the South Korean team. Qin Xueyao took the risk to find a reconnaissance position in South Korea. She sacrificed herself to lead the reconnaissance on the opposite side, and Pei Feng immediately shot and killed Zheng Zhiyu.

Next, Pei Feng and Gui Siyang 2V3, the two of them hid under the lotus leaf to cooperate in a guerrilla fight, fought hard for 5 minutes, and finally killed all the Korean team and pulled back a game.

But at the beginning of the third game, the South Korean team did not give them a chance to cooperate with long-range firepower. The two reconnaissance didn't pay attention to Huaran and Xueyao at all, they specifically looked for Pei Feng underwater, and 2 on 1 teamed up to kill Pei Feng. Pei Feng is really VIP treatment.

The Huaguo team's lineup was broken up and could not form a cooperation.

15 minutes into the game, the Huaguo team lost the first game 1:3.

The Japanese commentator at the scene said excitedly: "Congratulations to the Korean team for taking the lead in winning the map [Dark Swamp] and getting 1 point."

"Their water battle is as strong as ever!"

The Korean team's water battle is not only the strongest in Asia, but also the strongest in the world. This is the system they are best at.

In the domestic live broadcast room, many people began to question Jiang Shaoyu——

【Consequences of not Banning the Dark Swamp!】

[Coach Jiang is in the air, he actually released Ban when playing South Korea]

【Can't you just drop the Dark Swamp Ban? Do you have to lose once to be happy?】

[Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, Coach Jiang is really strong!]

Jiang Shaoyu walked into the soundproof room, just in time to meet Pei Feng's look back. Pei Feng was in a complicated mood. He knew that Master's approach would certainly cause a lot of controversy. At this time, there must be many keyboard warriors scolding Coach Jiang.

But Jiang Shaoyu doesn't care what the outside world thinks of him.

His goal is clear.

He lost the [Dark Swamp] against South Korea. Once he encounters this type of water battle map in the future, he will come up with a better way to deal with it. This is the importance of experience accumulation.

The current Huaguo team is still too immature to avoid the opponent's strengths all the time. Only by facing difficulties can we see the gap between us and the strong enemy.

Jiang Shaoyu looked at Pei Feng and said in a low voice, "It's okay, the second game is a good fight."

Pei Feng nodded: "Understood."
