EVE, I’m such a miner

The three days of qualifying passed quickly.

Not surprisingly, all major leagues successfully entered the main draw.

Basically, the Zero Security Alliance directly qualified for the main competition. Pan-Star Business Community, Glory, Pink Rabbit, Two German Alliance, October Alliance, Hotpot City Alliance, Angel Council, Angel Alliance, 8 alliances won 8 A place that directly enters the main draw.

As for the large low-security pirate alliance, 2V Alliance, Gallente Federation, Central Federation, Special Tactics Alliance, Commitment, Southwest Contract, plus the Azure Federation, which does not have a sovereign system, 7 alliances have also entered the main competition.

There are still 17 places, which are given to some smaller alliances, such as some small alliances in Minmatar low-security that only occupy a few star systems, high-security alliances, and even some novice alliances.

There is basically no possibility of overturning in a large alliance. After all, there are a large number of people in the alliance and they often experience battles. How can they select some members with sufficient combat effectiveness?

In contrast, the level of those high-security leagues is uneven, and some perform well, but most of them are unsatisfactory.

In this way, the game quickly entered the main stage.

The main competition begins the day after the qualifiers and lasts for four days. On the first day, 32 will advance to 16, on the second day, 16 will advance to 8, on the third day, 8 will advance to 4, and then in the semi-finals, the strongest will be determined. Two teams compete in the finals.

The fourth day is the time for the finals.

It can be said that the schedule is very tight.

Teams that can directly enter the finals can get more time to practice and prepare their teams, which is better than those teams that participate in the qualifiers.

However, the teams participating in the qualifiers and coming out of the qualifiers also have their own advantages. After all, they have experienced real combat and know their team's strengths and weaknesses and how to respond.

On the first day of the main game, Li Yi drew lots on behalf of the league, and the first team drawn was the low-security league called Southwest Contract.

The Southwest Contract is entrenched in Amarr Low Security, guarding the gate of the alliance for the Pan-Star Sea Commercial Community and ensuring channels for supplies to enter and exit.

It can be said that this alliance is a subsidiary alliance of the Pan-Xinghai Business Community, similar to the 2V Alliance.

This alliance usually doesn't cause any trouble. It mainly blocks the gates in low-security. Sometimes it will declare war on some high-security legions, and it usually behaves extremely low-key.

Although the Southwest Contract is very low-key, the strength of the alliance is not weak. After all, it is a low-security alliance. Without strength, it would not be able to occupy such a large low-security area.

Li Yi has already brought his teammates to the Floodlight Source Galaxy, to the vicinity of the Gallente Prime Star, and to the designated competition venue.

At this time, the team is preparing for the final work before the first game.

"This is our first game. We should go all out and not underestimate any opponent!"

"So, I propose that we take out our flagship when we come up and use all our strength to defeat our opponents."

Li Yi suggested.

Once the flagship, the Punisher, is destroyed, it will no longer be available in subsequent games, so when to use the flagship is also very important.

But if Li Yi wanted to come up, he would use his flagship.

"I'll just use the flagship when I come up. What about the rest of the game?"

"After all, we didn't participate in the qualifiers. We can only practice internally. We will use the strongest lineup when we come up and get a feel for it first."

Li Yi wanted to use the flagship from the beginning, so that other team members could be more confident from the beginning.

Although Li Yi was the captain, he couldn't decide everything by himself. In the end, the team adopted a voting method. 15:5, and finally passed the decision to use the flagship Punisher class from the first game.

"Okay, that's it, it's time for me to get ready."

After determining the lineup, the captains of both sides came to the edge of the competition venue, faced the referee of the competition, and selected the prohibited spacecraft.

Southwest Contract is not a team that directly participates in the main competition. It has experienced many battles in the qualifiers. Based on their previous battles, Southwest Contract generally uses Emma's team.

The most common is a 3-battleship combination, using the Navy Doomsday Battleship or Salvation class, paired with 2 Hells Angels class, 2 Prophecy class ships and some other auxiliary functional spaceships.

Such a team is usually top-heavy, and the team's scores are basically on those battleships.

It can be said that such a team is a replica of the two final teams in the league, Ember and Shiman.

During the intense use of the spaceship, Li Yi banned four spaceships: Bagais, Bagoron, Ossus, and Longjian.

The opponent banned four spacecraft, including the Golem class, Sidewinder, Navy Osprey, and Leshak class.

As a result, basically no spaceships in the team prepared by Li Yi were banned, and even the Blackbird-class cruiser, which had a high ban rate, was released by the opponent.

It can be said that in such a game, both sides can form the most mature teams.

"Come on!"

"If you win, I'll treat you to a drink of kuffin!"

Before the game started, Su Xiaotu sent a cheering message to all participating players on behalf of the rest of the league.

"Don't lose the first game!"

"Don't worry, it won't happen. We will send out the strongest lineup when we come up. How can we lose?"

In this way, both sides determined the final team.

Li Yi's Pink Rabbit Alliance immediately dispatched an armor-resistant positional warfare lineup with its flagship Punisher class and two Curse-class reconnaissance ships. It used the T2 logistics ship Oneros as logistics, and two command destroyers: Pope class, The star rating provides bonuses. The two spaceships act as free agents and move freely on the field. They are flanked by the Vigilance-class and the Sea Funeral. Finally, they are equipped with a Blackbird-class and a Kreus-class electronic attack frigate.

The fleet can be said to be fully equipped with electronic warfare.

As for their opponents, Southwest Contract chose their best lineup. The Salvation-class Black Secret Service Ship was paired with two Hells Angel-class 3 battleships, plus two Prophecy-class battlecruisers. Basically, all the points were concentrated in On these 5 spaceships.

For the rest, they chose the Zhanxing and Pope-class dual-command destroyers, a Maurus-class frigate, a Curse-class interceptor, a Navidas frigate, and a Prosecutor-class frigate.

This is a completely top-heavy, high-firepower lineup.

Li Yi's team, on the other hand, prefers a defensive and counterattack lineup, using electronic warfare combined with Punisher-level high firepower to gradually erode their opponents.

"It's time to go on stage!"

"It's finally time to play!"

"Hurry up! I can't wait!"

After the two sides decided on the lineup for the first game, Li Yi's players couldn't wait to prove their strength in such a field, and they started gearing up.

The teams from both sides entered the competition venue, and then the Gallente Federation, acting as the referee, activated a force field to include the teams from both sides.

Both sides set up their formations at their respective locations.

Ember led the way with the Punisher-class battleship, and behind the Punisher-class were two Curse-class combat reconnaissance ships.

The three form a triangle.

Li Yi piloted the vigilance-class vehicles of Hai Sangfu and Loli Zhenkai to serve as the flanks of the team.

At the very back, Oneros serves as logistics, with functional spaceships such as the Blackbird class, the Kreus class, the Pope class, and the Star class.

The opponent is 3 battleships advancing forward, the Prophecy class battlecruiser behind, two command destroyers acting as flanks, and the remaining 2 logistics frigates, an electronic warfare Maurus class, and a covering interceptor ship Curse. Destroy and roam freely.

"The logistics support the ember, Blackbird, Kless, you two are responsible for suppressing it and preventing the other party from attacking the logistics!"

"Leave the flank to us, let's break through from the opponent's boat first!"

After simple pre-war arrangements, the game officially began.

Unlike Li Yi's expectation of his opponents rushing forward and suppressing them with high firepower, the Southwest Contract team did not rush forward. Instead, the three battleships huddled together and advanced steadily to compress Li Yifang's maneuvering space.

"Since our opponents can't come up, we'll force them to come up!"

Li Yi was on the flank and naturally saw the opponent's actions clearly.

The team of Southwest Contract is very stable and wants to establish its advantage through steady advancement.

Especially the opponent's logistics frigates are far out of Li Yifang's range and will not approach easily.

"If the other side doesn't charge, we will force them to charge!"

"Punisher, stop a Hell's Angel directly!"

"Concentrate all the fire on this Hell's Angel and force the opponent's logistics frigate to move forward."

"Blackbird, Keles, continue to suppress the opponent's prophecy level and protect our Oneros!"

"clear!"

Then, Ember piloted his Punisher class and forcibly intercepted the opponent's Hell's Angel class. His Punisher was the flagship spaceship. It was dressed in divine armor and its defense was stronger than the Hell's Angels with armor resistance bonus. .

A Punisher class absorbed the attacks of three opponent battleships. With the support of Oneros, its armor value remained stable.

But Oneros doesn't feel so comfortable. In order to provide armor repair for the Punisher, Oneros must move forward and put himself under the opponent's firepower.

The opponent's three battleships all use close-range guns, while the two Prophecy-class battlecruisers use long-range guns.

The two Prophecy-class ships were interfered by the ECMs of the Blackbird-class and Kleus-class ships, and suppressed by induction. They were unable to attack the Oneros-class logistics ship located at the rear of the formation.

Under such circumstances, the opponent's Hell's Angel-class armor that was focused on the fire has begun to lose. Under such circumstances, the opponent's logistics frigate must step forward for repairs.

When the logistics frigate approached, the two curse-class combat reconnaissance ships in the team immediately changed their attack targets, allowing the released drones to switch fire and attack the opponent's logistics frigate.

The logistics frigate is unable to escape from being chased by drones. The Curse-class uses medium-sized combat drones, which can cause enough damage to the frigate.

Even if the Prosecutor-class provided repairs to the Navidas-class under attack, with the resistance and armor value of the frigate, the Navidas-class could not last long and became the first ship on the field to be destroyed. spaceship.

After Navidas is destroyed, the remaining logistics frigate, the Prosecutor-class, will lose its support. All it needs is to let the drones chase the logistics frigate.

After a while, the prosecutor level was also destroyed.

Without the logistics frigate, the other party has lost the capital to continue pulling.

Nowadays, the opponent must press forward forcefully and attack forcefully with advantages in tonnage and firepower.

"Maintain formation and retreat steadily!"

"Alert level, two command expulsions, follow me to intercept the opponent's flank!"

The Southwest Contract's team was flanked by only two command destroyers, while Li Yi's side had the Haifeng and Vigilance-class destroyers. Coupled with the support of two command destroyers such as Shi Man, the opponent's flank could only flee on its own.

In front of the other side, three battleships and two Prophecy-class ships were also moving forward. Except for the Hell's Angel-class battleship that was being held back by the Punisher-class, the other spaceships hoped to get past the Punisher-class driven by Ember and threaten Li Yi. The rear of the team.

As long as they destroy Oneros, the two sides will return to the same starting point, and they can even gain a considerable advantage with their tonnage advantage.

However, things will naturally not be as they thought. In addition to the interceptor ship Curse-class being too fast to catch up, it is difficult for the opponent's Command Destroyer and Maurus-class to escape the pursuit of the Vigilant-class and Haishou-class. Naturally, the Curse Destruction Level is left to the Curse Level UAV opponent.

Just like this, the game time was just over half, and the opponent had already lost more than half, leaving only 3 battleships and 2 prophet-class ships. Only the firepower spacecraft was left, and all other functional spaceships were lost.

On Li Yi's side, only Loli's cute vigilance class had a powerful stasis entanglement beam effect bonus. It went deep into the rear and chased the opponent's small spacecraft. It lost the support of the logistics ship and was destroyed by the opponent's fire.

"Haha, isn't this a replica of the game we played back then?"

Shi Man said with a smile.

The situation on the field at this time was just like his situation in the league's internal finals. All the functional spaceships were lost, and only the firepower spacecraft remained.

In this situation, everyone else had watched the match between Shiman and Ember, so they naturally knew what to do.

The team dispersed, using command and expulsion to cover Oneros, using electronic warfare to suppress the opponent's Prophecy class, slowly eating away the two Prophecy class ships, and finally only three battleships remained.

The three battleships simply couldn't catch up with those high-speed small spacecraft, and the firepower of the attacking Punisher or two Curse-class ships would be difficult to break through. After all, the repair capacity provided by the logistics ship Oneros was not low.

In this way, Li Yi led the team and easily won the first game, wiping out the Southwest Contract team. The score of 10:1 was a great victory!

"We still have experience in dealing with such a team!"

After all, the opponent's lineup is a replica of the league's internal competition, and Li Yi's players all know the weaknesses of such a top-heavy team.

After all, the main game is a best-of-three-game system. In the second game of Southwest Contract, if they lose, they have to go home. Therefore, they want to send out their flagship lineup in the second game.

Unfortunately, their flagship lineup is a high-speed heavy-guided kite team with Baghas as its flagship.

After Li Yi banned Baghas, they could only switch to a heavy guidance team based on the Nighthawk-class command ship and the Dragon-class battlecruisers.

It's a pity that such a high-speed team is naturally restrained by the Punisher's powerful stasis coil + double curse-level bullets.

In the second game, Pink Furry Rabbit easily won 8:2, losing only Li Yi's Sea Funeral and Alert Level.

In this way, the team successfully advanced to the second round and entered the top 16.
