On the night when the announcement was made, everyone in the QG Club was sitting in the club, looking at the data, and feeling a little worried.

Chen Dongqing frowned, looked at the schedule sent by the organizer and said: "The GPL group stage starts at one o'clock, and the LPL game starts at five o'clock. I can't finish this!"

Originally, his schedule was pretty good, with LPL and GPL not delaying each other, but this change has caused big trouble.

The GPL group stage format is a single round-robin BO3 for 12 people, which means each player plays 11 games, played over three days. Chen Dongqing has three BO3 games to play on the 24th, and he has to play from one o'clock to past seven o'clock. .

Chen Dongqing's first game that day started at 1:45, which was normal, but the second game started at 4 o'clock, and the last game was scheduled to 7 o'clock.

"The LPL game starts at five o'clock, but you can get to the venue by four-thirty at the latest, and the journey there is still half an hour," Linko added on the side: "You can play at the base until four o'clock at most and then leave. If you come late, it will be considered a violation and you will be fined."

".Isn't that sent? I can only play one game on the first day?" Chen Dongqing looked at the group stage schedule sent by the GPL official and felt a little headache.

The group stage is based on points. He had a 1-2 record on the first day, so it would be a bit difficult to qualify.

"Actually, there is another way." Linko thought for a while and came up with an idea.

The time soon came to March 24, at 12 noon.

Chen Dongqing, Pu Yunlong and Linko came to an Internet cafe in Super Brand Square and booked a box for three people to sit down.

"The distance from here to the LPL competition venue is just two steps up the stairs." Linko said: "You can play until nearly 4:30 before going to the venue. This way you can at least play one more game. Is that okay?"

Fortunately, the group stage is still an online game, so Chen Dongqing can freely choose where to play the game.

Chen Dongqing: ".彳亍."

Although a bit abstract, this is indeed a solution. Chen Dongqing could only nod helplessly, turn on the computer, plug in his spare peripherals, and then start playing interstellar hot hands, waiting for his game to start.

At this time, the barrage in the GPL official event live broadcast room was already abuzz.

Because of the emergence of the ID ilex, the live broadcast room of this GPL event has become extremely popular!

As the world champion of LOL, Chen Dongqing fights across borders. There was a farce involving suspected AI some time ago, and countless outsiders were attracted. Now he is undoubtedly the center of public opinion in the StarCraft circle.

According to the data from previous years, it would be considered a success if the popularity of the live broadcast room exceeded one million, but today, before the game even started, the popularity of the live broadcast room had already exceeded two million!

People who didn't know it looked at it and thought it was Star Wars.

In NetEase's Shanghai branch, everyone in the department responsible for organizing GPL events gathered in front of a computer and watched the live broadcast data on the computer.

Countless people looked at the growing popularity and the dazzling array of barrages, all smiling from ear to ear.

The popularity that comes with ilex is really ridiculously high!

This man's participation made the entire event more popular.

Moreover, this popularity has not yet reached its true peak.

At one o'clock, the game started quickly.

First up is the battle between iAsonu and TIME.

TIME's name is Li Peinan. He is born in the 2000s and is already competing in the interstellar profession for the second year. He is still a newcomer. His nickname is the Mentally Retarded Human Emperor. Although he has always been a comedian, he has always been regarded by interstellar fans as the next generation of CN Interstellar. Leader.

And he and his opponent have some stories and connections.

IA from Huazhong University of Science and Technology has been famous in the interstellar circle for many years. In last year's competition, he defeated time many times. So the two can be considered old rivals.

In today's game, IA was still ruthless and sent Time away again, maintaining his 100% winning rate against Time.

Although this game is an online game, the organizer of the game still stipulates that the players must connect the camera. It can be seen in the player's camera screen that Li Peinan, who lost to his old father again, is not frustrated and is already preparing for the next game. .

He would win it back later.

Of course, what he didn't know was that IA's undefeated winning rate against time would last until 2018. So fans at that time jokingly called IA the old father of time.

After 2018, the future emperor Time finally defeated IA for the first time in the Golden Finals. Since then, Time has never lost again.

On February 13, 2023, time changed its name to Oliveira, won the world championship on the highest stage of StarCraft in 2023, and became the human emperor!

But that's all for later.

After the first game, Chen Dongqing quickly followed the requirements of the event organizer and entered the password to join a designated room.

Since we can only play two games on the first day, we must win both of them!

After entering the room, he saw the name of his opponent in the first game - Jim.

This is a Protoss player known for his comprehensive and diverse play style, and his specialty is building bunkers.

Chen Dongqing had been ranked with this ID many times in the rankings, so he was somewhat impressed, and he couldn't help but be a little serious.

It has to be said that his winning rate against the gods has never been high.

Because the tactic of two ships and soldiers is mainly used to fight against the Zerg, relying on the combat effectiveness of the ships and soldiers to suppress the development of the Zerg, and then defeating the four ships of soldiers in one fell swoop.

Ever since Chen Dongqing understood the two-ship tactics, he has never lost against the Zerg in the ladder.

But against the gods, it is actually not easy to use.

Whether it is the Stalker or the Phoenix Colossus, they are both efficient means of defending the two ships.

When Chen Dongqing fought against the Protoss, his winning rate was only a pitiful 80%.

Of course, restraint is not absolute and depends on the level of both parties.

And soon, the first game started.

Chen Dongqing still started with two ships as usual, taking into account the reconnaissance at the same time.

The biggest benefit that master-level consciousness brings to Chen Dongqing is that it gives him almost invincible detection capabilities. Chen Dongqing can usually detect the tactics of the opponent very quickly.

As soon as the game started, the opponent's gameplay was discovered.

At the same time, Huang Xudong and Sun Yifeng were already waiting eagerly in the Douyu csboy live broadcast room to watch this crucial showdown.

Although it is only a group match, the popularity of today's game is even close to that of the year-end finals in previous years!

Everyone crowded into the live broadcast room just to see how powerful this so-called "savior of CN Interstellar" is!

Huang Xudong looked at the picture from God's perspective and explained: "In the first game of the group stage, Jim still chose his best tactic of building a bunker!"

Sun Yifeng said at this time: "The gameplay of this tactic is very simple. It is to suppress at the beginning, drag the farmers directly to the opposite house, and take photos of the photon turret. This is a defensive building with a very long attack range, which can be used against ground targets. null."

"But when this kind of defensive building is photographed at the door of the opposite house, it is no longer a defensive function. The suppressive power of the photon turret can greatly affect the development of the opposite side. It is very powerful!"

"Then build a portal on the front line, continuously send troops to suppress, and finally rely on the suppressed population advantage to destroy the opponent."

Huang Xudong continued to add: "But this tactic still has a shortcoming, that is, once the tactic is detected, it is actually somewhat difficult to execute it perfectly. At this time, ilex's detection level will be tested. If there is no If he finds out, his two-ship troop tactic will most likely be unable to be used!"

Chen Dongqing reacted quickly. Although he only had one sword in his hand, he knew all about the swords in the world. He quickly pulled five farmers to defend him!

Four farmers need to gather fire to demolish the bunker. If there are fewer, it cannot be demolished, so four are needed to demolish it, and then one more will be left to chase the god peasants.

As long as the defenses are well prepared, the strategy of building a bunker is difficult to implement.

However, after dragging out the peasants, you can see that the bunker on the opposite side seems to be very well built. The opposite side uses the terrain position and the position of the mine to block the position. As a result, Chen Dongqing can only get the crystals with two or three peasants at most, and there is no explosion at all.

Faced with this situation, Chen Dongqing reacted quickly.

One bunker was innocuous. Chen Dongqing quickly manipulated his own farmers to hunt down the other party's farmers, preventing the other party from continuing to build a second one.

On the other side, Jim seems to be planning to fight to the death, constantly pulling farmers and soldiers over, forcibly protecting the farmers and building bunkers!

When Chen Dongqing saw this, he pulled for a while and stopped resisting at all.

Because he doesn't need to completely block the opponent's tactics, he just needs to stall for time.

And now the time is almost up.

During this period of time, his hand speed increased very fast, and while he was chasing down the farmers across the street, the construction of his home did not stop for a moment.

Soon, the spearmen were born, and Chen Dongqing mobilized the spearmen to go out, quickly clearing the bunker, and then massacred the Protoss farmers.

Farmers are the foundation of a race. When the number of your farmers decreases significantly, it means that your development is interrupted.

Chen Dongqing's development has not been delayed for a second.

The economic gap easily occurred, and Chen Dongqing quickly won the game!

Seeing that the first game was won easily, many spectators were full of surprise.

"What's going on?" Huang Xudong said, "Is it so easy to win?"

"The main reason is that ilex's B operation is too fierce, you know!" Sun Yifeng said: "I don't know if you noticed, but his APM in the whole game has never been more than 400! Jim should not compete with him of!"

After the Protoss' bunker repair tactics were exposed, if they chose to send reinforcements to forcefully repair the enemy, they would basically be determined to fight against your operations and mistakes.

But obviously, Chen Dongqing, who has master-level operation and proficiency, is not afraid of the most difficult operation.

Jim chose the wrong strategy, so what awaited him was inevitable disaster.

After winning the first game, Chen Dongqing glanced at the time and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Linko and Park Yunlong also opened the door of the private room and walked in.

Linko was holding a mobile phone in his hand, which was GPL's live broadcast. He said approvingly: "It's awesome!"

Linko can be considered an old man in e-sports. He used to work as a reporter and editor for a StarCraft-related website called RN. He also has a good understanding of the game, so he can understand the game.

There was only five minutes of intermission. Park Yunlong had nothing to say about the last game. He praised Chen Dongqing's performance and then talked about the precautions for the next game. The game started again soon.

In the second game, Chen Dongqing finally felt the pressure.

He still started with a regular two-ship army, but this start was really not very effective against the Protoss.

For example, in this game, the opponent chose Star Gate to start, and then played Prophet.

The prophet can provide mobile reconnaissance and anti-concealment for the troops, and can kill farmers very quickly. If Chen Dongqing goes out with two ships of soldiers ALLIN, it will be easy for the prophet to steal the house and kill the farmers.

After Chen Dongqing found out this information, he could only slow down the dispatch of troops to avoid being slaughtered by the prophet.

But after his attack was delayed, the Protoss also gained room for development. Subsequent Phoenix + Colossus attacks, no longer afraid of the threat of spearmen, completely destroyed Chen Dongqing's two-ship troop flow.

Colossus is a high-level combat unit of the Protoss, with ultra-long range and AOE capabilities, allowing them to easily fight against Terran spearmen.

Coupled with the cover of the Phoenix fighter planes, it is easy to clear out the spearmen with precision.

As in the previous game, after the tactics were destroyed, Chen Dongqing no longer had the ability to resist, and ultimately regretted playing GG.

This was the first time Chen Dongqing lost in his career. He couldn't help but frown, thinking about the reason for the failure in the previous game.

In fact, the reason for losing is obvious.

The main reason is that his moves are too single and he has a high reputation.

Relying on the tactics of two ships of soldiers to rush all the way to the top branch of the national server, who doesn't know who doesn't?

Huang Xudong also said similar words: "The whole of China knows that he can play two-ship soldiers, and the opponent is not mentally retarded, so it is impossible not to take advantage of him."

This gameplay of JIM obviously killed him because he could only play two ships and soldiers, so he chose a set of targeted moves. At the beginning, the prophet limited the ship soldiers to attack, and then the Phoenix Colossus attacked, and the two ships and soldiers could not play at all.

This kind of game is like a match match in LOL. Although it is a blind pick, you just know that the opponent's mid laner will choose cards, so you must choose a little murloc to enjoy it.

At this time, the barrage in the live event room was also abuzz.

[Ilex’s talent is still strong and he can compete with Jim one to one, but that’s probably it.]

[The main reason is that the playing time is too short. He has only been playing for two months, so it is still difficult to get GPL.]

[Indeed, if ilex can train seriously for a year or two, I think he is really good, but now he is still close]

[What are you talking about? When will my brother Shu still need to practice? Just look at how he wins in third place and that's it! 】

In the barrage, many people expressed disapproval of Chen Dongqing, but it is not difficult to understand. After all, in the eyes of the audience, Chen Dongqing's weakness of only playing one set of tactics is too obvious.

If you can't solve it, then wait to lose.

But how can it be solved in a day or two?

Of course, Chen Dongqing is not without defensive measures.

At this time, Pu Yunlong walked in again and said, "You should still remember how the two ships of soldiers dealt with the Phoenix Colossus, right?"

"I still remember." Chen Dongqing nodded and sighed: "But when I detected it in the last game, I had no chance to use it."

"It's okay, calm down." Pu Yunlong patted Chen Dongqing on the shoulder: "I have seen the opponent's level, I think you should be fine."

Chen Dongqing grinned: "I think so too."

The third game started soon.

This time, Chen Dongqing still started with the process of two ships, and he also generously allowed the opponent to investigate.

In the middle of the game, his Search Soldier Death also detected the opponent's opening. It was still the opening star gate. It was obvious that the opponent did not intend to change their tactics.

Seeing this scene, Chen Dongqing raised the corners of his mouth slightly and immediately changed his style of play.

Instead of just killing the Blasters, he slowed down operations.

If the star gate on the opposite side opens, the rhythm is bound to not be too fast. He sends out a few spearmen to defend, and then starts to send out tank gunmen and bald heads, and then sends out transport ships at the same time.

This time he developed a large wave of force and accumulated a large wave of troops. He first pushed out a large wave of troops from the front, and then he still had two ships of troops at home and officially loaded up the ship and set sail in the darkness!

Seeing that the human race was punching them in the face, the gods on the opposite side did not dare to delay and quickly pushed out the Phoenix Colossus to face it head-on!

This time the human troops were not just spearmen, but these troops were actually almost useless in front of the Colossus.

During the handover of forces between the two sides, Chen Dongqing's operation was still perfect. He spread out the spearmen to avoid being cleared too much by the Colossus. With his anxious operation, Chen Dongqing was stunned and hit each other in front of him!

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred. Jim's detection work was not perfect. He did not know that Chen Dongqing's two ships of soldiers had arrived at their destination from the darkness on the flank.

In fact, this is normal. StarCraft players have always faced multi-line operations, controlling troops, building buildings, and controlling reconnaissance. The screen needs to be switched back and forth. It is very difficult to maintain perfect reconnaissance in this rhythm. thing.

Otherwise, it’s hard to say that StarCraft players have poor eyesight.

During the anxious operation, two ships of soldiers landed at the Protoss base!

"It's over! When did these two ships of soldiers arrive!" Even from the perspective of God, Sun Yifeng did not see when these two ships of good brothers set off.

Because the angle of view was always focused on the front, Sun Yifeng was already amazed by just the operation from the front, but he didn't expect that under such complicated operations, Ilex would have time to separate and ransack the house!

16 good brothers descended from the sky, armed with machine guns and slaughtered all the peasants of the Protoss. After killing the peasants, they set fire to the crystal tower!

Farmers are destroying the economy of the Gods, and crystal towers are making the buildings of the Gods useless.

After both were demolished, all the follow-up firepower of the Protoss was eliminated. The most embarrassing thing was that the Protoss did not win the front-on battle, and there was no hope of victory.

Frustrated, Jim played GG and the game was over. He felt a little depressed.

He designed a complete set of procedures for the two ships' soldiers, but in the end he died at the hands of the two ships' soldiers.

This B can give me sixteen spearmen on the front, and they can even beat me? What's going on?

This feeling is like you selected a murloc card to line up, but because you put an A on the line and used a pawn, you lost the game, and you don't know where you lost.

"Wow!" Huang Xudong exclaimed, and then praised: "This operation is really invincible!"

At this time, the barrage stopped talking.

They also all think that B, ilex, is really a bit perverted.

So what about my two ships and soldiers? If I change my moves a little, I can still win for you!

In the first game, Chen Dongqing won 2-1. He stood up and said hello to the coach and manager outside.

"Let's go!" Chen Dongqing said cheerfully.

"Where to go?" Linko was a little surprised.

"Let's go eat!" Chen Dongqing said matter-of-factly: "I'm starving to death."

The next game was at four o'clock and he had plenty of time.

As for the outcome of the next game, he is not worried at all.

Because the final opponent is the Zerg.

The time soon came to four o'clock. Facing the Zerg player named Yifeng, Chen Dongqing raised his sword and won two games of no more than ten minutes, maintaining his 100% undefeated winning rate against the Zerg. !

"This one is really a pure operation! His two-ship soldiers are always on time at 4 minutes and 35 seconds. It's so abnormal!" Sun Yifeng couldn't help but shook his head, "This B is real Monster! Why didn’t he come to Star Wars earlier?”

But as he looked over, he saw that the handsome guy in the camera was moving very quickly. He had already rolled up his mouse and keyboard, then waved to the audience and left the screen like the wind.

It was now 4:25, and there were still five minutes left before the deadline for entry. He had to run quickly.

【? ? ? Ran? 】

【This is? 】

[I’m going to play LPL, hahaha]

[Then we won’t play the next game? 】

[I definitely won’t play. The next game is at seven o’clock, so it will definitely be too late]

[Have you tortured WE for two hours? It’s very difficult! 】

Linko and Park Yunlong were not in a hurry to go to the scene. Each of them held a hand cake and looked at Chen Dongqing running past in front of them, feeling slightly dazed.

Linko thought of something and quickly asked: "Well, do I need to shut down the computer?"

"Don't get off! Maybe you can come back later!" Chen Dongqing left a sentence and disappeared from sight, leaving the two of them looking at each other.

Will you come back later?

At this time, it was on the ninth floor of Zhengda Plaza.

Banbazi glanced at his watch, slightly anxious.

As the tactical coach of the LOL division, Banbazi has actually not been very supportive of Chen Dongqing's crossover into StarCraft.

After all, in his opinion, the QGlol division is developing steadily and for the better. There is really no need to play such tricks. The right way is to win all the championships that can be won.

Like today, after playing StarCraft and then coming over to play LOL, it seemed to him like nonsense.

There are two games, and both are high-level professional leagues. Can you switch your thinking?

Banbazi was a little uneasy and looked at his watch again.

It is now 4:29, and there is one minute left before the final entry time.

There is a high probability that we will not be able to catch up.

Although the game doesn't start until five o'clock, if you are late for a few minutes, you will be fined at most, but the impact on public opinion is really bad.

“ilex’s decision to participate in the StarCraft competition caused the LPL game to be delayed”

Banbazi couldn't even imagine how much negative publicity this kind of rhythm would attract once it was released.

If you lose both the StarCraft game and the LOL game in the end, it will be a sure win.

StarCraft actually doesn't matter, LOL can't lose here.

Just when Banbazi was thinking wildly, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the lounge.

The door to the lounge was pushed open immediately, and a handsome young man stood at the door, panting and saying, "You're not late, are you?"

"You're not late, the time is just right!" Banbazi let out a deep breath, and then asked: "How was the interstellar game?"

Chen Dongqing raised two fingers and said with a grin: "Second consecutive victory, easily won!"

Until this point, Banbazi finally felt relieved and said with a smile: "Then hurry up and get ready, the game here is about to start!"

There is a lot of StarCraft content today, and I have tried my best to consider it for readers who have never played StarCraft. Everything is written in a very simple way, and the technique is also refreshing, so everyone should be able to understand it.
