Chapter 55 Final Chapter
Zhizhi has always been a ruthless character. Now that she has a new goal for the future, she can be even more ruthless to herself.
The one who felt Zhizhi's change most clearly was Yaya. She used to take the initiative to chat with Zhizhi, but now it was Zhizhi who dragged her to stay up late.
The two girls lost weight visibly.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, two weeks have passed and the first confrontation between the four teams is about to begin.
The four teams will be divided into groups by drawing lots, and the best-of-three system will be adopted. The winning team will advance all its members, and the losing team will eliminate one player each.
This indicates that some people may be eliminated before they even take the stage.
It's cruel and realistic, this is the fate of being a substitute.
Watching the contestants from YWH and NKG go on stage one after another, Qi You calmed himself down and looked serious.
She is no longer the shy newcomer. After nearly half a year of training and actual combat, she has gradually become a qualified KPL commentator and is more calm at work.
YWH and NKG are a classic case of French nuclear versus shooting nuclear, like needles against wheat spikes, and for a moment, flames flew everywhere.
But in the end, the NKG team led by Shunian and Xunxun was better and won 2:1.
Next up is the KM team versus the MT team.
Although Qi You was full of confidence in Zhizhi, when Team KM and Team MT really started to compete against each other, he couldn't help but worry about KM.
These days she doesn't just stay in the KM base. She goes to different teams every day to record materials and observe the operations of each player.
Every team has its own hidden talents. After all, anyone who can stand out from more than 100 people and enter the top 32 must be quite capable.
King of Glory is not a one-man game, but a team's glory. MT's specialty is operation, and the tacit understanding between the players is the best among the four teams.
In the jungle core versus operation, the key point lies in the rhythm of both sides. Whoever loses the rhythm first will lose first.
Unfortunately, what Qi You worried about still happened.
The MT team's lineup was an early-stage lineup. After quickly clearing the line, the mid, jungle and support directly invaded the jungle area, disrupting KM's rhythm from the start.
The decline was like a flood, fierce and unstoppable. In the first game, KM was quickly defeated.
Xiaoyu sighed imperceptibly, turned his head and whispered to Minghao, "Substitute for the next game."
He could already foresee that KM would lose today. In that case, it would be better to send in substitutes and decide who would be eliminated in the end based on everyone's performance.
Minghao was silent for a while, then nodded, agreeing with Xiaoyu's idea. Even he could feel the gap between the two teams. The starting team fought hard but only lasted 15 minutes. If they continued to fight, they would only bring shame upon themselves.
This is only the second episode, so it would be better to retain the strength of the starting team members, conserve their energy and have a long way to go.
He believed that the players he selected had the ability, but they just had too little time to get used to each other and their cooperation was poor.
Half an hour later, the second game between KM and MT ended and MT won.
All members of the MT and NKG teams from the winner group will advance, while the YWH and KM teams will face player elimination.
Qi You was not worried that Zhizhi would step down. The girl who took up two ban positions on the opponent's side still performed brilliantly today. The MT was able to hold on for so long thanks to her persistent pushing and quietly squatting in the grass to cut the squishy.
Finally, after a heated discussion, Minghao and Xiaoyu unanimously decided to eliminate Yaya.
As a substitute, Yaya usually has less time to practice. When she officially played, she had the common problem of all new players, being hesitant when making decisions. Compared with MT, the veteran support who had experienced countless games, she was naturally far behind.
It is reasonable to eliminate Yaya.
However, the tragic defeat in this game and the departure of teammates seemed to cast a gloom over the entire KM team. Even Qi You felt the heaviness and depression in the air.
Whether he was a substitute or a starter, there was a gleam of disappointment and unwillingness in his eyes.
Fortunately, Xiaoyu, who was a professional coach, was very good at dealing with such situations, and time did not allow them to be discouraged. The seven boys and girls could only move forward and work overtime to devote themselves to the next stage of training.
Two weeks later, the recording of the third episode arrived as scheduled.
It was also from this episode that KM began to sing all the way, and until the end of the fifth episode, KM was the team with the fewest eliminated members. The most surprising person among them was Zhizhi.
No one is optimistic about her, but she is the most competitive.
Roaming around in support at the right time, providing key vision and signals, and flexibly changing lanes to resist pressure.
Qi You realized that Zhizhi's game awareness had improved qualitatively and he gradually became the core of the team.
Another game ended. Qi Youyan took a sip of warm water to moisten his throat and sent a message to Zhizhi.
[Yuzi] Zhizhi, I have the screen recordings of Zhu Xing’s games from 2018 to 2020, do you want to take a look?
[Yuzu] I think you have some of his youthful side.
Just as courageous and fearless.
【吱吱】OK, thank you~
Zhizhi replied quickly, with visible joy between the words, showing how good she was after winning the MVP of the game.
The sixth episode is the final chapter of this journey, on March 3, a week before the spring season.
The four teams have already figured out each other's styles, and the final battle will be an all-out fight.
In the semi-finals, KM faced MT again. At the critical moment of 3:3, there was no ban in the peak duel, and Zhizhi finally got Mulan and turned the tide for the team again.
The majestic female general grabbed the Dragon King in seconds, and with the help of the wind dragon buff, she escaped with a 1V3 lifeline. MT's Da Qiao's Da Zhao was useless, and she could only watch KM's jungler lead the troops straight to the high ground.
Long after, when fellow contestants think of this day, they will also recall the fear of being dominated by Mulan.
At this moment, Zhizhi tightly grasped the heavy sword and shattered all the male cohesion and doubts.
Until the match point of 3:2 in the final, the opponent NKG team still spent a ban position for Mulan.
With only 1 point away from winning the championship, KM showed its trump card without hesitation - Zhizhi Lanling King jungler.
This change of position caught NKG's coach Shunian off guard. He drew again and again on the notebook with the pen in his hand and decided on a tactic at the last second: counter-blue at level one to mess with the opponent's mentality.
This is the first time that Zhizhi officially appears as a jungler, and Shunian is betting on the opponent's psychological quality.
Xiaoyu is no pushover either. He knows Shu Nian well, and there is a hint of cunning in his eyes: "Open red, switch to blue."
Since the plan failed, NKG could only develop safely to level four.
When he reaches level four, Lanling King will start to take action.
In fact, Shunian was right about Zhizhi. Her biggest problem was her lack of experience. But he overlooked one problem.
Hiding in the grass and cutting C are what Zhizhi is good at.
It doesn't matter whether he is alive or not, as long as he can kill NKG's mage and shooter in team battles and leave the rest to his teammates.
Comrade Cheng Yaojin, the current opponent and former jungler, will go to open the dragon and control the jungle by himself.
The victory that was within reach was like a stimulant, boosting KM's morale. Zhizhi's hands were still shaking until the moment when NKG's crystal exploded.
"Won!"
"we are the champion!"
The teammates around him hugged and high-fived each other, and Zhizhi collapsed on his seat, his blood boiling and his heart pounding wildly.
All of this is so dreamy, yet so vivid.
"We did it!"
The teammates picked up Zhizhi from the left and right, and took her with them to enjoy the glory that belonged to them at this moment.
This is their final chapter and also their new starting point.
Qi You was looking at the message sent by Shunian in the backstage, with a smile in his eyes.
Today is a really good day.
