The King's Return

The two semi-finals to be held on Saturday are Mojue VS Lihuo at 19:00 p.m. and Frost Moon VS Dynasty at 20:30 p.m. The schedule has already been released on the official website.

At the press conference in the morning, the four playoff teams entertained the reporters in order, and the ink finals were arranged at 11:00.

Qin Mo attended with all the team members wearing team uniforms.The press conference was full of seats, and there were several times more media reporters from all over the country than in the regular season.

As soon as Mo Jue's team members took their seats, the reporters rushed to stand up and ask questions. Sure enough, most of the questions were related to the recent Weibo incident: "Moshen, in this Weibo incident, many great gods stood up to support you. I didn't expect you The popularity in the circle is so good, can you tell everyone, how did you get to know the great gods of other alliances?"

Stand up and support someone when they are hacked, and people who eat melons will naturally feel that the other party has a good relationship in private.

But this is not the case this time. Qin Mo has no need to hide it. He said frankly: "This time I publicly encouraged my seniors. Many of them are actually unfamiliar to me, and some of them have not even met. I am very grateful to them for their encouragement. , in fact, they are not supporting me as a person, but supporting my courage and determination to return to the league."

"In this circle, some people play in obscurity for several years and then retire in a low-key manner; there are also some who have achieved outstanding results and are glamorous. But no matter what kind of people they are, our philosophy is the same-fair competition and relying on strength to speak. This is not In the entertainment circle, those so-called unspoken rules and thigh-hugging remarks touched our bottom line. Everyone stood up to support me, not because I was popular, but because everyone wanted to keep the circle clean."

"The careers of e-sports players are very short. Those who work hard in the e-sports circle are all young people in their 20s. We all have passion in our bones, and our ideas are relatively pure-playing games seriously and not wasting this period. Youth, no matter whether you change careers to do other things or continue to develop in the e-sports circle, at least this period of time is clean and worthy of recollection with a clear conscience. You can scold us for being poor and not playing well, but you don’t It can insult our beliefs and our character."

Qin Mo's voice was very calm, but every single word touched the hearts of many people.

Many viewers who watched the live broadcast praised him one after another and swiped their screens to call him "Teacher Qin". The reporters on the scene were also touched, and there was warm applause in the room.

In the hotel room, Su Shilun couldn't help sighing when he saw this place: "This kid is really sensible and strong, it's not in vain to support him."

Xiao Sijing nodded: "You are young, it's rare for you to understand the general situation, and you speak in an orderly manner, without being arrogant or rash, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future."

Su Shilun was a little puzzled: "His hand... Even if the fracture recovers, the hand speed cannot be recovered. What a pity."

Xiao Sijing smiled slightly, and said, "It's not all a pity, is it. Everyone has their own chances. He hurt his hand in that car accident, but now, he got more."

Qin Mo thought the same way, that's why he was so calm in front of the reporters.

——He lost a lot, but gained more.

***

Regarding the topic of Weibo, Qin Mo raised the original gossip directly to the level of the whole circle environment. If reporters ask gossip again, it will appear very low...

So the topic shifted to the game tactics and Qin Mo's command ability: "I told the Internet that Moshen is a 1:1 professional account, does Moshen have anything to refute?

Qin Mo said frankly: "I accept all the criticisms from netizens. During the regular season, there were a few games where I did not direct well. I have also reflected on it during this period. I hope that in the future, I can bring you more exciting competition."

There was nothing wrong with this answer, and the reporters also admired it. Qin Mo's skills are so strong, no wonder he was called "Teacher Qin" by netizens.

The crowd had no choice but to pass the microphone to the other contestants of Mo Jue. Xiao Han, Qingyue, and Liu Hong all answered one or two questions. The young boys were also full of confidence and expressed that they would do their best.

Xiao Han was asked if he was reading "Mencius" recently, because the last sentence he posted on Weibo was from "Mencius".

Xiao Han answered seriously: "Yes, many sentences do not understand the connotation, but they are catchy and have a lot of charm."

The reporter laughed: "Did Moshen let you read it?"

Xiao Han said: "After Mr. Qin asked me to recite the Xinhua dictionary, he already let me go. I'll come here and have a look."

Qin Mo said: "After reading "Tang Poetry and Song Ci" and then starting to read "Mencius", you are jumping enough."

There was a lot of laughter at the scene, the topic became more and more crooked, and the atmosphere was very lively. The expected tension was easily resolved, and the press conference ended in a happy atmosphere. game."

Mo Jue's team members bowed to express their thanks, and followed Qin Mo back to the hotel.

In the afternoon, everyone recharged their batteries and set off to the venue after dinner.

This venue is countless times larger than the venue for the previous small events, and can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators. Today's venue is also crowded with fans, holding signs of different teams to cheer for their favorite players.

Qin Mo saw the fans of the Mo Jue team at a glance. The white uniforms were very eye-catching. The big poster with the Q-like game images of all Mo Jue members occupied a large area on the east side of the venue. It was hard not to pay attention—— Judging from the huge poster, it was the fans of Mo Jue's official support club.

Beijing is the home court of the Dynasty team. During the regular season, 80% of the fans were fans of the Dynasty. But today is such an important event as the semi-finals. Fans of the four teams rushed to grab tickets. The scene is no longer the only one of the Dynasty. big situation.The black team uniforms of Dynasty, the white of Mojue, the red and yellow of Lihuo, and the blue of Frost Moon each have their own area, and the official fan clubs all book tickets collectively and sit separately, so there is no need to pinch each other.But there are also a lot of neutral fans. The large pieces of fan club clothes of the same color and the messy free clothes are mixed together, which looks particularly spectacular.

The first match was a duel between Mo Jue and Li Huo, so Dynasty and Shuang Yue went to the backstage to watch the battle, while Mo Jue and Li Huo's players stood by in the preparation area.

At 18:30, the screen on the big screen switched to the commentary room, and there was a deafening scream at the scene——

Ye Chao was still sitting in the chair of the commentator. To his right was a row of warm-colored sofas, which looked very soft and comfortable. There were two people sitting on the sofa. One of them had a serious face, handsome and tough features, and a kind of calmness in his calm eyes. Convincing and domineering; the other is smiling, dressed in fashion but not fancy, with exquisite facial features, and a big beauty.

Xiao Huang and Lu Shen!

The fan riots at the scene were not without reason.

The live broadcast room was flooded with flowers, and there were some fans' doubts: "Team Chen gathered five No.4s and successfully summoned the ancestors. Why did they summon them to the next field!" "Mo Jue and Lihuo's The game is Xiao Su's two commentators? Aren't they going to comment on Shuangyue's side?" "No problem, Shuangyue's Team Chen and Xiaopang are their disciples after all. They came to comment on Mo Jue, so it will be more objective and fair !" "Long time no see, His Majesty Xiao Huang, I will kneel down~" "The wheel god is still so beautiful, please wear the same style!"

After hearing the deafening applause at the scene, Ye Chao was obviously also very satisfied with the effect, and said with a smile: "I think everyone has discovered who is today's guest commentator. Let us welcome Xiao Sijing and Su Shilun with warm applause." Colossus!"

Xiao Sijing and Su Shilun greeted the camera together: "Hi everyone."

Su Shilun followed up and complained: "What is the description of a giant? It feels like being called like this, and suddenly turned into a burly and muscular man with a height of [-] meters."

Xiao Sijing smiled lightly: "Your power of association is still so rich."

Su Shilun said helplessly: "It's a bit embarrassing to be called a giant god."

Ye Chao joked: "You're welcome, Lun Shen. I don't know who came up with the name Giant God in the first place. Anyway, you first-generation players have a profound influence on the e-sports industry, and you can afford this title. You Why don't you learn from Liu Chuan, he is very happy when he is called that, and he even added an adjective in front of the word 'giant'."

Su Shilun asked, "What adjective?"

Ye Chao said: "Handsome Colossus."

Su Shilun: "..."

Xiao Sijing: "..."

Su Shilun immediately changed the subject: "Let's focus on today's game."

Ye Chao said: "The two have been very low-key since retiring. The latest bubbling on Weibo seems to be the incident of Qin Mo being hacked? The two seem to be unfamiliar with him, why did they stand up without hesitation? What about him?"

Xiao Sijing said: "I think the player Qin Mo is worthy of respect. It has nothing to do with age or qualifications. I am glad that there is such a young man with firm belief and clear goals among the younger players. I also watched his interview today. Well said, so I won’t repeat it.”

Su Shilun smiled and said, "Qin Mo is very likable no matter his appearance or personality. There are so many thick-skinned people in Longyin Club, Qin Mo is really a rare clean stream, and we are also encouraging him from the standpoint of seniors." .”

Ye Chao said: "Then today's game, what do you two think? Which side do you think has a better chance of winning?"

Xiao Su and Xiao Su looked at each other, and Xiao Sijing took the lead and said: "Lihuo's style is very distinctive, and the melee lineup is very shocking. I have watched all the team battles before Mo Jue in the past few days, whether it is defense, Or fast break, playing very methodically. Qin Mo has been fascinated by the black commander recently, and he himself said that his performance is not very good, so I look forward to his performance today."

Su Shilun followed closely: "I am familiar with Team Nie. He is Shao Zehang's apprentice. He has continued Tongque's tactics. He has been leading the team in Wulin for several years. The most important problem now is Jingyang. The 16-year-old player is the core of their output lineup, if he can fully stimulate his potential, Lihuo is likely to reproduce the demeanor of the Shaolu team sweeping the league back then."

Xiao Sijing nodded in agreement: "In the season when Xiaolu broke out the most, the Shaolu team swept away all the long-range teams and won the championship in one fell swoop. The melee chopper attacking style is the consistent style of the Bronze Sparrow Club. It has been able to stand in the league for so many years, and it must be strong. In today's game, I think Qin Moguang's defense may be very difficult."

Su Shilun said: "Defense is against impact, but it is not impossible to win. After all, Zhu Qingyue is here."

The two of Xiao Su cooperated tacitly, and Ye Chao really had the urge to make himself invisible.

But as the host, he has to continue to bring up the topic: "Hey, let me tell the two great gods that the rules of the playoffs are different from those of the regular season. In the regular season, the home team must first choose the mode, map and lineup, and the away team Then proceed with the ban selection of cheats. However, in the playoffs, the mode and map are still submitted first by the home team, and the cheats are still banned by the away team first, but the lineup is submitted at the same time in the final stage. In this way, if you want to advance according to the lineup Targeting would be impossible, and this will test the adaptability of the captains of both sides even more."

Xiao Sijing was thoughtful: "If you play at the same time, it is really difficult to start with the lineup in advance."

Su Shilun nodded and said: "It depends on how the commander arranges the troops. If the lineup sent by the opponent happens to be targeted by the opponent, the brain must be flexible and find a way to fight against the wind."

Ye Chao said with a smile: "The two understand this aspect more professionally than I do. The time is coming soon. Let us welcome the players from both sides to officially enter the arena!"

***

The lights on the big stage came on, Mo Jue and members of the Lihuo team came up from the backstage passage on the left and right respectively, and stood in the middle of the stage.

The on-site host briefly interviewed: "Moshen, the semi-finals are coming soon, are you nervous?"

Qin Mo: "Don't be nervous."

The host laughed and said, "Are you confident in defeating Lihuo?"

Qin Mo said, "Yes."

His voice was calm, and he didn't sound nervous at all.Mo Jue fans at the scene immediately began to cheer, and the huge fluorescent card was also lifted up with all its strength.

I asked Nie Yuzhu the same question, and Team Nie also said, "I have confidence."

The fans from Lihuo set off another wave of people, and the atmosphere on the scene was brought to a peak. The host smiled and said: "Please enter the soundproof room for the contestants from both sides. The competition is about to start. The audience on the scene and in front of the TV can log in The official channel predicts the results of the competition and participates in the lucky draw on the official Weibo..."

Of course, there must be an advertisement at the critical moment. For tens of seconds of advertisement time, the contestants on both sides quickly adjusted the equipment in the soundproof room until 19:00 in the evening. to the lower left corner of the live screen.

Ye Chao said: "Good evening, audience friends. The semi-finals of the first professional league team competition of the Dubu League, the match between Mojue and Lihuo has officially started. Let's first pay attention to the lottery situation of the captains of the two sides."

With two draws, there is a 50% probability that Qin Mo will draw the home game.

Ye Chao said: "In the first home game, Moshen doesn't know what mode to choose? Mo Jue is actually very good at treasure hunting. During the regular season, he has never lost in the treasure hunting mode. It seems that he has never lost in the secret letter mode... …The Escort mode loses the most, so I probably wouldn’t choose the Escort.”

As a result, Qin Mo directly slapped him in the face as if he had heard his words - the Escort mode.

Ye Chao was very embarrassed: "Cough, it seems that Qin Mo wants to clean up the dark history of frequent losses in the Escort mode, and chose the Escort mode in the playoffs. This is called... Advancing despite difficulties!"

The audience didn't like his smooth manners, and they all gloated: "Stop guessing, and be a quiet commentator obediently!" Be a quiet, handsome man."

Seeing the barrage, Ye Chao stopped talking and concentrated on watching the game.

Qin Mo then submitted the map, which was a map that had never been used in the regular season - Qingzhou Grand Canal.

As soon as this map came out, the netizens immediately became bloody: "Waterways!" "Qin Mo's command skills are really confusing..." "Moshen is like a fan!"

Netizens do not understand.

Most of the Escort mode is field paths, and the maps are mostly forests, plains, and canyons, but there are also waterways. After all, you don’t have to use horse-drawn carts to transport goods, you can also use boats.

But the dart ship itself is not big in size, and there are not many places left for four dart masters and a chief dart head after loading the red goods.If the bodyguard team is also crowded on this ship, it is simply waiting to be taken over by others.The attacker can choose to lurk underwater and intercept halfway, so the play style is much more flexible...

Why did no team choose water bodyguards?It is because the home team's waterway is not easy to fight, but it is beneficial to the robbery team, so who would choose stupidly?

But Qin Mo chose.

And it's in the crucial semi-finals!

It is understandable for the audience to be confused. Xiao Sijing and Su Shilun looked at each other, and at the same time saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

Qin Mo is not stupid. It is impossible for him to deliberately choose this map to boo his head or practice some tactics. If it is a regular season, he can say to test the waters with a fresh map, but this is the playoffs!If you lose a game, you will be very passive and may be eliminated.No one dares to play off in the playoffs and will be scolded to death.

Then, Qin Mo's choice of this map must be related to his next tactical layout.

Seeing the map appear, Nie Yuzhu also fell into deep thought.

Soon it came to the forbidden selection stage of cheat books, and it was Nie Yuzhu's turn to choose.Nie Yuzhu routinely banned the three secret books of defending "Diamond Sutra", rebounding "King Kong Is Not Bad", and healing "Su Wen".

The first to grab the cheat book, Nie Yuzhu took the "Lingshu Heart Sutra", which is a waste treatment, and it is also a conventional method.

There are so many cheats, he needs to look at Qin Mo's next actions to analyze the other party's thinking.

But then, Qin Mo once again played out of common sense - he took "Northern Geese Flying South" and "Body Light as a Swallow", two lightness kung fu cheat books.

Ye Chao was also a little confused at this time: "Are waterway bodyguards playing light skills? This is indeed an idea. Light skills can increase flexibility. When using light skills in team battles, it can take care of more angles, which is better than being limited. Good on the bodyguard boat."

Seeing this, Nie Yuzhu decisively snatched "Stars and Chess Spread" and "Crafted Sword Jue". The former is Shen He's best cheat book, and it can match the lightness skills of Han Mo and the other two; the latter was obtained by Nie Yuzhu's teammate Zhou Yanbing. Swordsmen are very useful cheats for group attack and high damage.

At first, Qin Mo thought that he would continue to use Mo Jue's combination of cheat books, but then, Qin Mo took two copies of "Lights Dim" and "Moonlight Liuzhao" with a calm expression.

This time, not only the audience, but Nie Yuzhu was also completely confused.

- transport stream?Is this being possessed by Su Cheng?

Will Mo Jue play streaming?Why does the water battle map need to use teleportation cheats?

After a little distraction, the countdown began to count down. Nie Yuzhu calmed down and grabbed two group attack output cheats.

Then, Qin Mo took two more strange cheats, one was the invisibility of "The Holy Scroll of No Trace", which was used by Xiao Han, and the other was "Song of Everlasting Regret", which was controlled by a single body.

Nie Yuzhu had no idea what tactics he was going to use.

Since he couldn't see through what routine he was going to play, he simply ignored his mystification.Nie Yuzhu decisively followed Lihuo's train of thought, taking output cheats continuously.

After the two sides have finished robbing the cheats, the two captains have 3 minutes to submit the lineup list and decide the cheats carried by each team member.

Nie Yuzhu quickly submitted it to the referee, and Qin Mo's speed was also very fast.

So the countdown only lasted 30 seconds, and the lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen at the same time.

Lihuo: Nie Yuzhu, Jingyang, and Zhou Yanbing's three melee attacks, plus the two long-range output of Luther Master and Poison Master.During the regular season, in the flat ground dart game mode, Lihuo has sent five extremely violent melee chopper formations many times, but now it is a water battle, and it will be more flexible to fight with two long-range.

In terms of cheats, the luthier and poison master already have some field control skills in the long-distance, so Nie Yuzhu has all the output cheats, obviously to maximize the output.

But Mo Jue's lineup made the audience confused again...

He Beiguang, Li Muran, Shen He, Pei Yu, and Qin Mo.

Xiao Han didn't go, Zhu Qingyue didn't go, Liu Hong was also watching the show, Qin Mo went alone with four newcomers!

Who gave him the guts? ! !

Netizens immediately began to ridicule: "Aren't Moshen afraid of getting rid of it?" "This lineup was used once in the regular season, and it was lost to Lihuo. Dare to use it in the playoffs!" "The lineup that was lost once Continuing to use it in the playoffs is admirable courage!" "Play tricks and wait to be slapped in the face." But there are also many Qin Mo fans swiping the screen: "Don't rush to scold, Momo can't make fun of important games, look Let's talk about it later!" "If you really lose, Mo Fan will lie flat and let you laugh! But it's just the beginning, so there's no need to rush to conclusions!"

The live broadcast room was full of noise, but Qin Mo's expression was calm as usual.

The moment Nie Yuzhu saw the cheat book, she was shocked——

"The Holy Scroll of No Trace", this cheat book that he didn't notice at first was brought by Shen He - the invisibility lasted for 10 seconds.

"Dive into the Water", he didn't care about this book at all, he thought it was a cheat book that Qin Mo had chosen at random, but it was brought by Pei Yu - diving into the water increased the breath bar for 30 seconds.

"Song of Everlasting Sorrow", this is the only one that Nie Yuzhu guessed, and the cheat with the longest single-body control time is brought by Qin Mo - the single-body sleeps for 5 seconds.

What Li Muran brought was the release of "Pure Heart Judgment".What He Beiguang played was "The Prodigal Son Turns Back", which hit him flying.

At first glance, Qin Mo's thinking in choosing the cheats was very messy, and the cheats he brought in at the end were irrelevant.

But with this water battle picture...

Is he going to fight deep water lurking warfare? !

Xiao Sijing and Su Shilun looked at each other, and at the same time saw a touch of surprise in each other's eyes.

During the stage of selecting cheats, Qin Mo deliberately used lightness skills and teleportation skills as a cover-up, just to create tactical confusion for Nie Yuzhu, so that the opponent could not guess what lineup he was going to form, and had nowhere to start, so naturally there was no way to target it.

And once this kind of deep-water latent guerrilla warfare is successfully used, it will be extremely difficult for Lihuo to make a comeback.

Although Mo Jue's lineup is Qin Mo with four newcomers, the overall strength seems to be weak, but as long as they cooperate well and fight underwater, Xiaomi plus rifles can also defeat airplanes and cannons!

***

In the viewing area backstage, Ling Xuefeng, who saw this scene, smiled in relief, and said in his heart: Xiaomo, you have finally stepped out of the influence of Master.

Master has never played such a complex but ingenious tactic, which also includes psychological warfare that disrupts the opponent's thinking.

From this moment on, you are no longer "Ling Xuefeng's apprentice", you are Moshen.
