Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 1451 Are you sure these two teams really don’t know each other?

In fact, many people know that Fang Yun likes to drive whenever he wants.

But no one expected that this guy would actually drive the car into the pre-game trash talk session.

Compared to the tense situation with the Original Family during the trash talk session of last year's All-Star Finals, this year's 2008 and Bianliang City are completely different.

With a guy like Fang Yun leading the group, the tense atmosphere that Ah Zi expected was completely hopeless.

Abai refused to say anything harsh, and Fang Yun did not display the aura of a double All-Star champion.

Rather than calling it a trash talk session, it would be more accurate to say that the representatives of the two teams joined forces to put on a colorful show for everyone.

"Ahem! Um...thank you both very much for your wonderful speeches!"

Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene was beginning to go out of control due to Fang Yun's few words, Ah Zi, who had provoked the chaos, could only swallow her anger and quickly changed the subject.

"Then the pre-match interview has come to an end. At 2 pm, the much-anticipated All-Star Finals will officially begin. Ah Zi would like to remind all viewers to pay attention to the time and not miss this peak showdown!"

After hurriedly finishing her lines, she quickly gave a look to Abai and Fang Yun.

Soon, the three of them walked off the stage amid the laughter and jokes of the audience.

"call……!"

As soon as she stepped down from the stage, Ah Zi breathed a sigh of relief, and then she glared at Fang Yun fiercely. It was obvious that she was frightened by what this guy had done just now.

Fang Yun, who was glared at for no reason, spread his hands innocently and did not talk to the other party any more.

After nodding to Abai beside him, he saw him walking slowly towards the lounge of Bianliang City with his hands behind his back.

It is not yet eleven o'clock in the morning, and there are at least three hours before the afternoon finals begin.

Fang Yun and his friends would definitely not wait in the lounge for such a long time, so after Fang Yun returned to the room, they chatted for a few minutes and then left the venue, rushing towards the restaurant that Sujiu had booked early in the morning.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

After eating and drinking his fill, Fang Yun had already returned to the lounge backstage at the venue.

Since the game doesn't start until 2pm, the ban and selection process will not be announced until 1:30pm.

So everyone who had nothing to do simply gathered together and continued to analyze the situation that they had not finished discussing at the dinner party.

To outsiders, Bianliang City and 2008 are two completely independent teams, but in fact they are one family.

The most obvious characteristic of a family is that I know your abilities and you know my strengths and weaknesses.

However, although everyone is familiar with Abai and the entire 2008's playing hardware.

But although everyone has their own opinions on what moves Abai will make in this BO3 final, there is one thing they all agree on.

This young man who was lured from Fuzhou to Beijing by Fang Yun has undergone a transformation after studying with Fang Yun for more than half a year and experiencing this long All-Star journey!
After the transformation, Abai is obviously more confident in tactical arrangements and playing style. At the same time, it also means that they can no longer analyze the opponent's actions completely based on their preconceived impressions.

Listening to everyone's analysis of the possible lineup that Abai might use in the first round, Fang Yun, the commander-in-chief of Bianliang City, seemed a little careless at this time.

If you had to choose the person in the club who knows Abai best, it would definitely be Fang Yun.

But precisely because of this understanding, he knew that everyone's analysis might be useful, but definitely not much.

Abai is not a fool. They understand each other. Doesn’t the other party understand them?

Instead of making all kinds of blind analyses, it is better to conserve your energy.

After waiting for the ban and pick phase to begin, you will be able to basically make a rough judgment as soon as the opponent makes a move.

So Fang Yun had no intention of joining the discussion at all. While everyone was expressing their opinions, he had already taken out his mobile phone and started browsing the forum.

At this time, all the major fantasy forums had already been dominated by the two semi-finals that had just ended in the morning.

Looking around, all kinds of eye-catching news headlines are flooding the homepages of major forums as if they are free.

"The fire of revenge will never go out! In 2008, we easily defeated Zhu Zi Fang and advanced to the finals!"

《Breaking news, Zhu Zifang team members' defense is broken on the spot! 》

"Re-examining the love-hate relationship between the mad demon Abai and his inhuman family!"

"Won the game but lost my character? Is the sleep-killing behavior of the Billion Family appropriate..."

"Possessed by a drama spirit? Bianliang City's bizarre lineup heads to the semi-finals!"

"Unfortunately, they lost due to their lack of strength, and Gusu City was eliminated in the semi-finals!"

"On whether there is match-fixing in Bianliang City..."

"A true peak battle! Bianliang City and 2008 successfully met in the finals. Who will be the champion? Please wait and see!"

Looking at the various news headlines appearing on the mobile phone screen, Fang Yun's eyes were almost dazzled.

The popularity of this year's All-Star Game was so high, especially after entering the offline competition, the user activity of major forums broke new highs, it was truly like living a second life.

But at the same time, precisely because of the high popularity, all kinds of normal or weird topics have also become popular.

Some mocked the Zhu Zifang team members for not being able to accept defeat, some angrily criticized 2008 for going too far, and some even wanted to report Bianliang City for match-fixing.

The entire forum was thrown into chaos because of the end of the semi-finals. Even such important information as Bianliang City and the 2008 meeting in the finals were squeezed into a corner. Those who didn't know would think that everyone was not interested in them.

But Fang Yun knew that it was not because people were not interested in these two teams, but because there were too many flaws in the two semi-finals in the morning.

Once the finals officially begin, there will be no need for anyone to set the pace, and the style of all forums will inevitably undergo a sudden change.

I browsed around various forums for a while, and it was already 1:30 in the afternoon.

The door of the lounge in Bianliang City was suddenly pushed open, and Xiaoqing walked in and informed them that it was time to go on stage.

"Go, Sujiu, just do what we agreed upon during dinner."

Seeing Xiaoqing coming, Fang Yun first greeted her, and then spoke to Sujiu who had already stood up.

Xiaoqing came to inform them to go on stage for the banned election. Fang Yun was too lazy to deal with such matters, so he simply left it to Sujiu.

After hearing his words, Sujiu didn't say much. She followed Xiaoqing out of the lounge and quickly rushed to the stage.

A moment later, when Sujiu stepped onto the stage, he discovered that the person sent by 2008 to ban the contest was also a girl, and it was Li Zhen from Putuo of 2008.

Seeing Sujiu, Li Zhen subconsciously wanted to say hello.

Fortunately, she reacted in time and stopped talking immediately. She just nodded to Sujiu and then walked towards the row of computers belonging to them in 2008.

At this time, the stage has been completely renewed after the on-site staff worked overtime to arrange it.

Two rows of brand new computers were placed on both sides of the stage, and in the center of the stage was a shining golden Chiyou championship trophy.

However, the audience who had been waiting in the audience for a long time were obviously not very interested in the trophy. Their attention was all attracted by the banned players sent by the two teams.

"Hey, this Bianliang City and 2008 have quite a good understanding, they both chose to let the girl come up to ban the pick."

"Sujiu is so beautiful! Such a beautiful woman is actually a game fan, and she is also a veteran player who has been playing for many years. It's incredible!"

"Little Miss Zhenzhen is not bad either. Although she is not as pretty as me, she is young and energetic!"

"Hey, which one should I choose as my wife?"

"Go home and sleep quickly, you can dream about anything!"

The two women's successful appearance on stage caused a chorus of howls from the audience. After all, the majority of the audience for e-sports competitions are still male.

In the first ban and pick phase of the crucial finals, two beautiful girls appeared, which naturally made everyone feel bright.

Soon, when the two women sat down in front of their respective computers and began the official ban, the audience immediately fell silent.

The entire banning process was not long. After a while, when both players had completed the banning, the results of the first round of banning were immediately displayed on the big screen in the center of the stage.

As the ban results appeared on the big screen, the audience, who had originally focused their attention on the girl, were stunned at first, and then instantly went wild!

"No, what the hell?!"

"Are you sure the players of these two teams really don't know each other?"

"Is this the tacit understanding between the strong? The banned sects are exactly the same!"

"Both sides actually chose to ban the Lion Camel and the Demon King. Is there some explanation behind this?"

"Of course! Didn't the combination of Lion Camel and Demon King perform well enough in the previous games? Not to mention that the Lion Camel and Demon King of these two teams are more ferocious than each other. It's right to ban them both!"

"I thought 2008 would ban Cheng Ge first, it seems I was too narrow-minded..."

"Same, I thought Bianliang City would kill Fairy Brother first. After all, the single-point breakthrough capability of this Heavenly Palace is really powerful..."

As the first round of bans and picks came to an end, Bianliang City and 2008 both banned the opponent's Demon King and Lion Camel at the same time.

Many viewers were deeply surprised. They never expected that the two teams would do such a thing.

But after the accident, everyone thought about it carefully and immediately realized the essence of this ban.

In fact, according to common sense, although the combination of Lion Camel + Demon King has explosive surface damage, it is not completely undealable.

If any other team came up with such a ban, it would really not be necessary.

But the problem is, whether it is Bianliang City or the Lion Camel and the Demon King in 2008, they are not ordinary people!
Qianren and Qianyan of Bianliang City, the rich woman and the fairy in 2008.

Any one of these four is a terrifying existence that can destroy an entire team single-handedly!
Once they are put together to fight on the same team, whether it is Bianliang City or 2008, they may not be able to withstand two rounds of injuries.

Since we know we can't handle it, it only makes sense to destroy the system first.

As for the two teams' signature players Qiancheng and Xianzi, they also possess extremely strong lethality.

But they mainly rely on single-point breakthroughs, which are equally deadly, but as the old saying goes -

The two powers harm each other, whichever is less.

All in all, the ban and pick results of the two teams in the first round were beyond the expectations of many people.

But everyone quickly understood the reason why they did this, so no one made any outrageous remarks, but instead looked forward to it.

With both teams' signature combinations banned at the start of the game, what kind of candidate lineups will they come up with in the first round!
While the audience below the stage was having a heated discussion about the ban and pick results and candidate lineups of the two teams in the first round, the two women who had completed the ban and pick on the stage had already left the stage and hurried back to the lounge to prepare for the game.

At this time, the players of both teams in the lounge had already learned the ban results of the other team through the screen.

After the result came out, the 2008 lounge immediately went into battle preparation mode, while the Bianliang city seemed a little quiet.

"You're right. Ah Bai really banned the Lion Camel + Demon King system, just like us."

Looking at the ban and pick results on the screen, Shouye felt a little emotional. He was convinced by the opponent Yun's judgment.

When Sujiu came on stage to ban the selection, Fang Yun told them in advance that if nothing unexpected happened, Abai would probably choose to ban the combination of Demon King and Lion Camel like them.

At that time, Shouye still didn't believe it and thought that Abai was more likely to attack the signature combination of Qiancheng and Qianren.

But as the results came out, he realized that he still underestimated this guy Abai.

Is it true that leading a team alone in offline competitions will really help people grow rapidly?

Thinking of this, Shouye secretly made up his mind to give it a try himself when he has the chance in the future.

At the same time, after chatting with Sujiu who had returned to the house, Fang Yun suddenly clapped his hands and began to organize everyone to arrange the lineup for the first round of the finals.

The combination of Qianren and Qianyan has been eliminated, so there is no need to discuss their plan of crushing the opponent by inflicting facial damage.

However, their Bianliang City has been playing in the competition for so many years, so it is no big deal if a system is abolished.

It didn't take long for everyone to discuss and come up with a feasible plan, and then Fang Yun began to select soldiers and generals and choose people to go on stage with him.

As the most anticipated final of this All-Star Game, Fang Yun will definitely play in the first round.

In addition to him, the other four contestants are confirmed to be Sujiu, Huang He, Guo Yi and Meng Ge.

That’s right, after following the team for two days, Guo Yi finally couldn’t stand the loneliness anymore and wanted to go up and fight.

Since he had already asked, Fang Yun naturally would not refuse and agreed readily.

After the list of contestants going on stage was finalized, Xiaoqing promptly notified the backstage through the headset to report the list, and then led everyone to the backstage.

A moment later, when the five people came to the backstage, they looked up and saw Abai and four team members walking over.

Just like their Bianliang City, judging from the players alone, neither side was able to analyze the other's specific lineup.

In addition to Abai, the other four people from 2008 are Chen Fan, Li Qing, Lin Fei and Xu Qingya.

Both sides couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they saw the other team members, and then they saw Abai and his group nodded at them, and then they took the lead to go on stage under the guidance of the staff.

Fang Yun and the other four followed closely behind. Listening to the thunderous cheers coming from below the stage, they took a deep breath and officially stepped onto the stage!
