Chapter 2149 A Divine Lineup, An Outrageous Start!
The grouping of the semifinals this year was already top-notch.
Unexpectedly, when it came to the election stage, these representatives' choices were even more outstanding!
First, there's the group consisting of Bianliang City and the Forbidden City.
The Forbidden City's ban selection was fairly standard, directly dismantling the Lion Camel and Dragon Palace lineup from Bianliang City, which featured both physical and magical damage.
As a result, Bianliang City, with its two Lion Camel generals, Thousand Blades and Beast Lord, will have a much narrower range of lineup options.
Unexpectedly, when the selection process was suspended in Bianliang City...
But then they suddenly pulled a fast one, banning Huasheng and Putuo from the Forbidden City.
It's important to know that although both Huasheng and Putuo are support characters, their roles mean that their team compositions are completely different.
Most teams that choose the Healer class focus on physical damage output, while teams that choose the Putuo class mostly focus on magical damage output.
In actual combat, it is difficult to have both, and most teams have to choose one.
In other words.
Bianliang City's banning of the Forbidden City's Huasheng and Putuo characters is practically the same as making a pointless ban.
Remembering that Fang Yun had previously publicly stated that the Forbidden City could only hold out for 10 minutes in Bianliang City, he thought...
When it came to the banning round, instead of blocking the Forbidden City's strongest lineup, they actually released it completely.
Many audience members were completely baffled by their actions, having no idea what they were thinking.
Aren't you afraid of being proven wrong later?
However, compared to the other group, Bianliang City's actions were merely a drop in the ocean.
Although Bianliang City was essentially no different from having an empty ban, at least they still knew to put on a show and used the two banned positions.
But what about 2008 and the Lanting Preface?
Four consecutive empty bans mean they're too lazy to even pretend anymore!
The official statement has never said that empty bans are prohibited.
But they didn't say it was because they felt that at the semi-final stage, unless someone was out of their mind or had bought the bans, it was impossible for an empty ban to occur.
After all, although the ban/pick system in Dream World is 2 bans and 1 ban, it can still dismantle team compositions.
The actual effect of the ban on elections was quite effective.
In fact, no team had ever had an empty ban in the previous five All-Star games. Even a team as strong as the four-time champion Bianliang City would at least use up the banned picks if they wanted to throw the game.
But today, 2008 and the Orchid Pavilion Preface gave everyone a 'surprise'.
Both teams have opted out of the ban, which means that barring any unforeseen circumstances...
The two teams will most likely field their strongest lineups for a decisive battle at the Forbidden City!
Just thinking about that scene...
Many Martial God Altar enthusiasts couldn't help but gasp for breath—
The All-Star Game has been held for many years, but this is the first time that a Dream Team showdown like the 2008 match between Lantingxu, which was full of tension before the game and featured extremely strong teams, has taken place!
If it weren't for everyone wanting to see if the Bianliang City and the Forbidden City group could last 10 minutes...
Otherwise, if they had switched to another team, their popularity would have been completely drained by the other team long ago!
Even so.
Back in the lounge, Beast's expression turned unusually serious.
"Ah Bai and those two bastards, Pineapple, have gone a bit too far. If we don't perform well in this match, we might end up as background figures!"
The atmosphere outside was so intense that even Beast Master, who had just come down from the stage, could see it clearly.
He certainly knew why everyone was so excited.
But as a player from Bianliang City, he was unwilling to see his team's semi-final match become a backdrop for other teams.
"Not only that, don't forget that Lao Fang just said to let the Forbidden City hold out for 10 minutes before making any moves. There are probably a lot of people outside waiting to see what happens. If we can't take them down within 10 minutes, Lao Fang is going to get roasted!"
Before Fang Yun could even speak after hearing what Beast Master said, Huang He chimed in.
The main protagonist of this semi-final will most likely be the match between the 2008 Lantingxu and the Lantingxu.
The problem is that, due to Fang Yun's previous boastful remarks...
This meant that even knowing they might become mere background figures, Beast and his team had to give their all in the semi-final against the Forbidden City, otherwise Fang Yun would surely be punished.
This is the 'price' that must be paid for making careless remarks, as mentioned earlier.
"Well then, how about we bring out our strongest lineup this round?"
Seeing the two of them exchanging words, each one seemingly mocking themselves, I realized they were exchanging sarcastic remarks.
Fang Yun could only shrug and ask.
"No, that won't be the case. Don't worry about it, leave it to me. I guarantee I'll take them down in 10 minutes!"
When he heard that he was going to bring out his strongest lineup, Beast Master was taken aback, and then quickly waved his hand and said, "It's just the Forbidden City, it's not enough to make us go all out. I was just joking with you."
talking.
Fang Yun had previously stated that they would decide the outcome of this semi-final match themselves.
So Beast Master didn't waste any time and immediately started arranging the lineup for the semi-finals against the Forbidden City.
Soon after.
Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience outside the venue.
Then, the players from the four semi-final teams finally took to the stage one after another!
"It's here! The most exciting episode is finally coming!"
"I only care about two things in these two semi-final matches. First, whether the Forbidden City can hold out for 10 minutes against Bianliang City. Second, what kind of ultimate lineup will 2008 and Lantingxu bring out!"
"I bet the Forbidden City won't last 10 minutes. Anyone want to bet 5 yuan?"
"I'll bet you 50 that the Forbidden City can hold out for 10 minutes!"
"Why isn't anyone offering shares for 2008 and Lantingxu?"
"I'd like to open it, but those two newcomers in this year's Lanting Preface competition are too strong. I'm actually a little unsure of myself..."
"What's there to be afraid of? The Orchid Pavilion Preface is the designated favorite of 2008, it's definitely not going to beat us."
"Anyone can talk big, how about we bet 100 bucks? Just the two of us!"
"Let's gamble! Who's afraid of who!..."
As the four teams of contestants took to the stage.
While they were all sitting down and adjusting their equipment, [we took advantage of the moment].
Amidst their excitement, the audience couldn't help but start causing some mischief.
There are so many highlights in this semi-final.
As we all know, the more interesting a match is, the higher everyone's enthusiasm will be, and along with that comes a whole host of bets.
Among these bets, the one about whether the Forbidden City could withstand 10 minutes of attacks from Bianliang City had the highest participation rate.
There was no way around it; this bet not only had a faster outcome, but both sides felt they had a better chance of winning.
As for 2008 and the Lanting Preface.
Although everyone had a feeling that their lineup would be very impressive.
But that's precisely why.
Even though Lantingxu's win rate against 2008 has always been relatively low.
However, there are not many people who dare to bet on the Lanting Preface and lose.
And soon.
With all four teams of players ready.
Suddenly, the spotlights above the venue went out, and at the same time, the large screen in the center of the stage split in two, simultaneously displaying two sets of live footage of the duel!
"Holy crap?!"
"Holy crap?!"
"A generous gift of crabs! What an amazing lineup!"
"Rich woman, fairy, angel, arrogant man, handsome man, haughty man... This bunch of IDs makes my scalp tingle!"
"They really went all out in the 2008 competition and the Lanting Preface competition, bringing out all their best players."
"Look, they even chose the same formation, it's all wind formations!"
"It's confirmed! These two teams definitely reached a gentleman's agreement behind the scenes, with both banning enemies and starting with the same wind formation. Awesome!"
"To be honest, their actions have actually benefited us viewers."
"That's true! 2008 and Lantingxu have met before, but this is the first time we've seen so many star players. Aren't these two teams worried about running out of options in the finals?"
"The finals? What they need to do now is treat this like the finals. If they dare to hold back, they can expect to be eliminated by the other side!"
"Let's get hyped! Let's get hyped!..."
As footage of the 2008 match against Lantingxu appeared on the big screen.
When you see the lineups that these two teams fielded in this semi-final.
The entire All-Star audience erupted in a buzz!
Just as that audience member said.
This wasn't the first time I'd encountered Lantingxu at the Martial God Altar in 2008.
It is unprecedented for both teams to field such luxurious, even extravagant, lineups at the same time!
In this semi-final, both sides brought out almost all of their best players. If you didn't know it was the semi-final, you would think it was the final match of the final.
While star players are flocking to the scene.
After the initial shock, the audience gradually recovered and immediately began to analyze the specific strengths and weaknesses of the two teams' lineups.
Judging solely from the rationality of their lineups, the two teams are basically evenly matched.
In 2008, the offensive team consisted of three giants: the rich woman, the fairy, and the fairy, while the support positions were filled by the nun and the white night, two control-type characters, to control the field.
The offensive end of Lantingxu is also composed of the three main players: Zhuaiye, Aoye, and Kuangye, while the support positions are held by Commander Xuanye and Wuzhuang Shuaiye.
Judging solely from the lineup combinations, it's impossible to determine who is superior.
However, a good team composition doesn't guarantee a win in a competition.
Although the win rate of Lantingxu against 2008 was a bit low.
However, judging from the lineups revealed so far, they may be slightly inferior to their opponents in terms of offense, but their lead in the support position is very obvious!
In short, this semi-final will be a true test of skill between the two sides.
Compared to the 2008 and Lantingxu, which boasted an astonishingly luxurious lineup.
The lineups of Bianliang City and the Forbidden City were relatively 'mediocre'.
"Good heavens, the Forbidden City completely shut down the Lion Camel Dragon Palace combination in Bianliang City, and then Bianliang City simply abandoned the Lion Camel combination and went straight for the Twin Dragon Palaces?"
"Isn't this a bit too reckless? The current Twin Dragon Palace is a bit too weak, not to mention that the opponent can also summon Arhat."
"You really don't understand. Shuanglong Palace is indeed a bit weak, but please take a good look at the support role in Bianliang City, okay?"
"Holy crap, Qian Chou?!"
"Awesome! I didn't expect even Brother Qiu to come this year!"
"Brother Qiu's Fangcun, his sister-in-law's daughter, plus Qian Ge's Pan Si... Holy crap, this trio in Bianliang is terrifying!"
"The key point is that they even used a bird formation, which means they're pushing the speed to the limit!"
"The opposing Forbidden City team also adopted a bird formation, which shows that both sides have similar strategies and want to focus on speed. However, judging from the result, the Forbidden City team seems to have been completely outmatched..."
"Qianchou + Qianqiu, I've never seen this combination before."
"Let's see if Bianliang City, which started with the Three-Sealing Bird Formation, can crush the Forbidden City within 10 minutes."
"This is fucking awesome! The trident of stars in the semifinals is finally starting to unleash their power. A bunch of star players who are rarely seen on the court are making an appearance. This year's All-Star semifinals are definitely the most star-studded ever, and it may be hard to surpass them in the future..."
Although compared to the star-studded lineups of 2008 and Lanting Xu, the lineups in Bianliang City and the Forbidden City were far less star-studded.
However, Qian Chou's appearance still excited many longtime viewers.
Not to mention that, in addition to Qian Chou's appearance, the lineup that Bianliang City fielded in this semi-final was also quite strategic.
Although the Dragon Palace sect is somewhat weak now, it is definitely not among the sects that will last for a thousand years.
Especially since the people on Bianliang City are Qianqiu and Xuejian, the famous Dragon Palace master and disciple duo in the Dream World.
In addition, there are Qianchou's sister-in-law and Qiange, three top-tier sealing classes.
It's no exaggeration to say that...
With this high-speed triple seal + double Dragon Palace group attack lineup, even if the Forbidden City can withstand it for 10 minutes, the experience will probably be quite unpleasant!
that's it.
The audience below the stage were chattering about the two lineups.
The two live streams officially began as the 30-second countdown ended!
Interestingly...
Although everyone knows that the 2008 set and the Lanting Xu set are more interesting.
But once the two groups actually started competing, many viewers immediately focused their attention on the group from the Forbidden City in Bianliang.
The reason for this is quite simple.
The group that performed in 2008 and the Lanting Preface were clearly aiming for half an hour or even an hour.
With both sides deploying their best forces, neither side will launch a rash attack for at least the first 10 rounds, instead focusing on building up their strength.
These days, those who can come to watch the game live are not necessarily seasoned veterans, but they do have some experience.
Since it is known that 2008 and Lanting Xu are not going to be a winner in the short term.
Why should they pay attention to them too early? They should focus their attention on Bianliang City and the Forbidden City first.
After all, this group had a 10-minute 'agreement'.
soon.
The competition officially began.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the first person to make a move was not the sister-in-law, but Qian Chou, who had finally returned to the All-Star stage after a long absence!
Heart-Losing Talisman
He unleashed the Mind-Stealing Talisman.
The mistress of the "elder" in the Forbidden City was instantly banned.
The audience below the stage suddenly erupted into a commotion—
"No... Holy crap?!"
"What's going on? How could Fangcun be faster than my daughter? This doesn't make sense!"
"Am I getting old, or is the audience changing too fast? Brother Qiu has always been faster than his sister-in-law, so what's so surprising about that?"
"It would be strange if you weren't surprised! How could Fang Cun possibly compete with his daughter in speed?"
"It can only be said that you know nothing about Qian Chou's strength! You were able to conclude earlier that Qian Qiu is not equal to Long Gong, but did you never consider that these people with the character 'Qian' in their names are all monsters like this?"
There are only two possibilities for Fangcun to be faster than her daughter: either her daughter slows down on her own initiative, or... Fangcun's physical abilities are far superior to her daughter's!
"Reason tells me I should choose 1, but experience tells me 2 is the correct answer..."
Qianchou's ability to dominate the field from the start and make the fastest move truly surprised many people.
After all, it's one thing for your Qiancheng family to be awesome, but even if you're awesome, you can't ignore science.
Damn, even the Fangcun speed champion is crushing the Daughter class! Do you really think everyone doesn't understand Fantasy Westward Journey? (End of Chapter)
