Chapter 2153 The road to victory has turned, and the outcome is decided!
However, for the audience...
The more intense your game is, the more excited everyone will be.
2008 and Lantingxu are both formidable opponents, especially this one which is related to tickets to the finals.
Even knowing that they would have to face the formidable Bianliang City in the finals, they still had to accept the outcome.
The problem is that no one will give up on reaching the final just because their opponent is too strong. After all, in terms of both status and prize money, the runner-up is far superior to the top four.
At this time, the battle between 2008 and the Lanting Preface was still raging.
The audience below the stage was also completely ignited with passion, and their howling was so loud that even Fang Yun, who was waiting in the backstage dressing room, could hear it clearly.
Although the audience at every All-Star game is very supportive.
Normally, this level of passion would only be seen in the finals.
But this year it started from the semi-finals.
All I can say is that 2008 and Lantingxu really didn't hold back in this match, showing no mercy in either their lineup or their playstyle.
The renowned trident, with its second member locked in a fierce battle in the semifinals.
If this still doesn't ignite the audience's passion, then something strange would happen.
"Tsk tsk, those two kids really go all out."
Sitting on the sofa in the lounge, Fang Yun watched the two major families, Shi Yi and Ye Ao, fighting fiercely on the field, and muttered his comments to himself.
He had anticipated that A-Bai and Pineapple would go all out in this semi-final.
After all, the ticket to the finals is just around the corner, and the overall lineups of the two teams are almost evenly matched.
As the commander-in-chief of 2008, Abai definitely wanted to reach the finals again and have a real battle for supremacy with Bianliang City led by Fang Yun.
Pineapple definitely wants to get into the finals even more.
Although they had lost to Bianliang City quite a few times before, at least they had won an All-Star championship once.
But what about the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion?
Some might say that Lantingxu's launch date was relatively late, and winning the regular season championship was already considered a breakthrough, so winning the All-Star title is a bit of a stretch.
But the problem is...
Although Lantingxu is indeed a 'new area' compared to Bianliang City and 2008.
But the Ye Ao family of monsters are no novices!
Keep in mind that when they won the fourth All-Star championship in 2008, their server had only been open for two years.
In comparison, this is for servers that were launched in 2010.
How can the Lanting Preface use its late server launch time as an excuse?
Because I understand this principle very well.
So if we had to pick one player who most wants to win the All-Star Game, it would undoubtedly be Pineapple.
It's very simple. As the boss, Pineapple certainly never thought of catching up with Fang Yun.
The problem is that Ah Bai, who is also a colleague, has already won the All-Star championship.
As one of the three most recognized members of the Dream Trident by players, and also the current three giants of the Dream Division of the Cloud Club.
If he couldn't win the All-Star championship, Pineapple would always feel inferior to others.
But that's just wishful thinking.
Let's not even talk about how they can win the championship when they reach the finals and face the formidable Bianliang City.
Even now, with all their might, they can only manage a 50/50 match against 2008.
Sometimes, having a colleague who is too capable isn't necessarily a good thing.
In general.
Whether it's Abai leading 2008 or Pineapple leading Lantingxu, they are undoubtedly determined to get this ticket to the finals.
As for who will ultimately get what they want.
Judging from the current situation, it remains an unknown.
I lay back down on the sofa.
Fang Yun kept his eyes glued to the screen, intending to watch the entire epic showdown to see who would advance to the finals and challenge their Bianliang City.
Before we knew it, a full hour had passed in the duel between 2008 and Lantingxu.
Nowadays, long, drawn-out matches are common in the Martial God Altar, and everyone has long been used to it.
But in the 2008 semi-final match against Lantingxu, which lasted for a full hour, no one found it boring!
Although the battle was extremely close, the two teams' commanders and players did not make any unnecessary moves throughout the entire process. They pounced on the opportunity like mad dogs, and their fighting style was extremely fierce!
Normally, with both sides fighting so fiercely, the outcome should be decided within half an hour at most.
After all, playing aggressively means that you will also expose many weaknesses to the opponent.
In this way, it's easy for either the opponent to be wiped out in one fell swoop, or for the opponent to seize a major opening and take you down. It's simply impossible to survive 60 minutes without being wiped out.
But 2008 and the Lanting Preface managed to hold on.
The reason they were able to maintain their composure despite their increasingly aggressive playstyle is that both teams have a super support player who can be considered a pillar of strength!
"This time I'm truly impressed. From now on, if anyone dares to say that the Healer class is just riding the wave of popularity, I'll fight them to the death!"
"That can't be right, can it? I've hardly ever seen anyone say that Huasheng is just riding the wave of the situation, but I've seen quite a few say that Wuzhuang is doing the same. But now I guess they've all been thoroughly humiliated by the handsome man!"
"This Wuzhuang is fucking amazing! The opponent has three top-tier damage dealers: a rich fairy and a demon. He actually managed to withstand it. It's an absolute steal!"
"The Taoist nun is no less formidable. She tried to kill him with three attacks from the Orchid Pavilion Preface more than once, but she managed to hold on with a sliver of health each time."
"This guy truly deserves to be called a pillar of strength! No matter whether his teammates are in a winning or losing position, he can always become the most stable cornerstone of the team!"
"Honestly, without these two supports, this game would have ended in 40 minutes at most."
"Indeed, but I feel that an hour is their limit. The main problem is that both sides are attacking too aggressively, and the medicine consumption is too high..."
Just as these viewers said.
The reason why the two sides were able to fight for an hour despite their frantic exchange of fire is that...
The biggest reason is that both teams' supports are just too good!
No matter how recklessly your team's damage dealers play, they can always stabilize their health or status immediately, their motto being "You can play recklessly, I'll keep you alive."
Although both commanders quickly realized the problem and immediately turned their guns on the opposing support.
But unfortunately, these two support characters are as tough as ghosts.
Several attempts to focus fire failed to completely eliminate the enemy support.
The fact that both teams' commanders repeatedly shifted their focus to attacking the opposing support has led to this match dragging on without a clear winner.
However, knowledgeable viewers have already noticed it.
Based on the intensity shown by these two teams in this hour-long match.
60 minutes is actually their limit.
You should know that whether it's the fairy-like rich woman or the fairy's super 3C in 2008.
It's still the three top-tier damage dealers from Lantingxu: the arrogant master, the haughty master, and the mad master.
After an hour of frantic blood exchange, the gold reserves of both sides are probably almost depleted.
In other words.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they are still evenly matched.
But at most, the outcome should be decided within 10 minutes.
as predicted.
As the two teams gradually ran out of medicine.
The Lanting Preface team couldn't hold on any longer.
It's not that they're weaker than the 2008 team, but rather that they lack a crucial recovery ability compared to their opponents!
Although Wuzhuang can also light lamps, the amount of health restored by Wuzhuang when lighting lamps is pitifully small compared to that of Huasheng.
With the big gold mine in front of us, this drawback isn't obvious yet.
However, with the complete shortage of Dajin and the inability to replenish the lost health of Lantingxu in time, it gradually began to be unable to withstand the bombardment of 2008.
"Damn it! I knew it!"
"2008 was so cunning! That transformation skill they brought was the perfect finishing touch!"
"That's not entirely true. In the previous rounds, 2008 was suppressed by Lantingxu, simply because they had one less seal compared to the opponent, right?"
"Yeah, I remember there were a lot of people criticizing it back then, saying that A-Bai had to bring a Huasheng instead of a Wuzhuang, and that his thinking had been completely outdone by Pineapple."
"It can only be said that experience counts. Abai must have foreseen that it would be difficult for them to determine a winner between 2008 and Lantingxu in a short period of time, which is why they chose to bring a healer to drag out the game into the late stages."
"Lantingxu is really in trouble this time, Wuzhuang's healing efficiency is too low..."
"There's nothing we can do. This is what veteran players often say: there's no such thing as a perfect lineup in Fantasy Westward Journey. For example, if 2008 gets a few more units sealed in this match, they probably won't even make it to the late game before being taken down by the double-seal lineup of Lantingxu."
"On the contrary, if Lantingxu fails to take down 2008 within an hour with its double-seal and triple-output lineup, they will face an increasingly difficult situation as the game progresses."
"Brilliant! The clash of strategies between the two commanders in this game was actually very intense. Although it seems that Abai has the upper hand so far, as the guy mentioned earlier said, 2008's ability to drag the game into the late game also had an element of luck, not that their lineup was really stronger than Lantingxu's."
"Why say so much? Lantingxu is most likely lost this round. What we need to consider next is whether 2008, having played all their cards, can win a game in the BO3 against Bianliang City, their old father..."
As both sides ran out of medicine, the newly recovered 2008 finally began to show its strength, putting Lantingxu under immense pressure.
Some audience members were thrilled, while others couldn't help but sigh.
As the game dragged on into the late game, Lantingxu's momentum clearly waned.
But as everyone has said.
It's hard to say which team has a better lineup in this match.
Earlier, when both sides had sufficient supplies.
With the advantage of having an extra seal, the Lanting Preface has put 2008 under immense pressure on several occasions.
If it weren't for the Taoist nun sacrificing herself twice at crucial moments to raise the health of the rich woman and the demon.
Let alone an hour, they'll probably be carried away by the Lanting Preface in no more than 40 minutes!
They've finally dragged us into the late game.
2008 was simply a matter of monetizing their late-game roster.
However, the Lanting Preface fell into a disadvantageous position.
Considering they have completely run out of supplies.
What will happen next is already self-evident.
as predicted.
Less than 10 minutes.
The Lantingxu team members, whose health replenishment speed could not keep up with the rate of health loss, finally began to fall one after another. After the "Clumsy Grandpa Baby" made three incredible saves, they were completely swept out of the game by 2008!
"Oh dear, what a pity!"
"It's a real pity that the Lanting Preface had at least three opportunities to crush 2008."
"What's the point of saying all this now? It's all about the winner taking all the credit. The Lanting Preface missed three opportunities, so it's only right that it was overturned in 2008."
"We can only say that they lost with honor. It's clear that they really did their best, they just lacked a bit of luck."
"Fantastic, absolutely fantastic! Why can't we have more matches of this caliber?"
"That's because your standards have been spoiled! There are actually many exciting matches, but most of them are hard to match in terms of intensity, like the 2008 and Lantingxu matches."
"That's why I said the audience who bought tickets for this competition are lucky! They can see the 2008 battle against Lanting Xu in the semi-finals and the 2008 battle against Bianliang City in the finals. It's a real feast for the eyes!"
"By the way, did they ever beat Bianliang City in 2008? I have a feeling they were just handing the championship to Bianliang City when they went in?"
"It's true that you haven't won many games, but it's even less meaningful for you Lantingxu to say that. Have you forgotten how you lost to Bianliang City in last year's finals?"
"Can you please stop trying to make a scene here, you piece of trash who were eliminated by Bianliang City in last year's semi-finals?"
"You fucking bastard!..."
The duel between the two sides has ended.
While the players from both teams were packing up their mice and keyboards.
The audience below the stage has completely erupted in chaos!
This semi-final match between 2008 and Lantingxu was definitely a visual feast.
Both sides went all out from the start, fielding their strongest lineups before the match and playing like mad dogs during the game, displaying nothing but ferocity!
The key point is that they played with such a free and easy style.
A strange balance has inexplicably formed between the two sides.
From the audience's perspective.
Apart from playing somewhat conservatively in the first half, both teams were relatively even.
From the second half onwards, both sides went all-in.
Despite their aggressive playing style, it took them almost 40 minutes to determine a winner.
All I can say is that the commanders and operators on both sides are incredibly skilled; their level is truly top-notch!
"Don't be discouraged, Commander Bo! Your brothers all believe you can definitely come back next year!"
"That's right! It doesn't matter if we lose this time, we can just come back next time!"
"I give this year's Lanting Preface performance a perfect score of 100, and I'm not afraid you'll get arrogant!"
"You absolutely have to come next year! If you don't, I'll blow up something, you know that?!"
After the players finished packing up their keyboards and mice and handed them over to their support staff backstage, they...
The 2008 contestants who advanced to the finals have returned to the backstage dressing room, while the eliminated Lantingxu contestants came to the edge of the stage and bowed deeply to the audience as a farewell.
Seeing the undisguised disappointment and frustration on Pineapple and the others' faces.
The fans of the Lanting Preface in the audience couldn't hold back any longer and loudly comforted them.
Just as they said.
This year's Lanting Preface performance was already outstanding.
They didn't lose a single game they shouldn't have, even when they faced a formidable opponent in the semifinals, 2008.
They continued to play their best, even suppressing their opponents at one point and coming within a hair's breadth of victory.
Ultimately, they missed a golden opportunity, allowing 2008 to successfully drag the game into the late stages and turn the tide.
But for Lantingxu fans, Pineapple and all the members of Lantingxu have performed perfectly enough. They truly died standing up and did not embarrass their fans!
Therefore.
Seeing their own team's players becoming more and more frustrated.
The fans of Lantingxu in the audience immediately became anxious, fearing that this defeat would cause the contestants' mentality to completely collapse, and quickly began to comfort them loudly.
Listening to the comforting words from the fans below the stage, especially their forced smiles.
Pineapple, who was initially extremely frustrated, took a deep breath and nodded emphatically to all the fans of Lantingxu in the audience.
He made up his mind: no matter what, he, Pineapple, would definitely be back next year! (End of Chapter)
