Chapter 1883 Opening Blow: The Arranged Bianliang City!
"Yes, from the perspective of the commentators and the audience, it is clear that Bianliang City's ban in this round is more effective."
Although being criticized is frustrating, Lu Qi is, after all, a veteran commentator.
He didn't dwell on that statement, but continued his analysis: "But then again, Lantingxu was never the favorite from the group stage, but they tenaciously defeated one opponent after another and finally made it to the finals."
"Therefore, in my opinion, no matter how much the selection process is restricted in Bianliang, it makes little difference to the Lanting Preface."
"This is a team that excels at creating miracles, but it's also a team that's very dependent on their form."
"For them, the most crucial factor is their own performance, rather than the opponent's targeted strategies!"
He blurted out his opinion in one breath.
Before Xiaofei could respond, a commotion suddenly erupted from the audience.
"Hey, is it possible that Old Lu, seeing that Hundred Flowers Village is gone, has started going all in on the Orchid Pavilion Preface?"
"They're just going to raise the price secretly and forcefully!"
"I think it's alright. This Lantingxu team really depends on their form. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been playing a crazy, drawn-out game in the quarterfinals, but then they crushed Baihuacun in four rounds in the semifinals."
"Isn't that because Master Ao went for it?"
"Even if Ao Ye is strong, he is still just one person. In the semifinals against Baihuacun, the other four members of Lantingxu also performed much better than before. Their form did fluctuate a bit."
"No...you guys don't actually think Lantingxu has a chance, do you? Their opponent is Bianliang City!"
"What's wrong with Bianliang City? If they hadn't messed things up in 2008, it's hard to say whether they would have even made it to the finals!"
"Although I also think that the performance in 2008 was terrible and the luck was bad, I still say that in a competition, there is only winning and losing, not right and wrong. No matter what, as long as Brother Cheng participates, Bianliang City has never lost."
"Maybe this time we'll break the record..."
The audience members present had mixed opinions regarding Lu Qi's analysis.
Lu Qi's analysis clearly shows that he wants to point out the seemingly advantageous position of the ban on elections compared to Bianliang City.
The performance of the Lanting Preface was more important to them; the ban on its selection had little impact on them.
Objectively speaking, there's nothing wrong with what he said.
But don't forget.
After advancing to the finals in Bianliang City.
At that moment, more than half of the audience were their fans.
Lu Qi believed that the seemingly advantageous election policy in Bianliang City was actually useless.
This has made some fans very dissatisfied.
Ultimately, however, both the commentators and the fans are just idly chatting at this point.
After the match begins.
The question of who is stronger or weaker will become clear once the two teams face off.
After a while.
As the first round of the BO3 between Bianliang City and Lantingxu took to the stage.
After they took their seats and started playing games, they met up in the lounge.
The lights above the arena suddenly dimmed, and the first game of the BO3 finals of the fifth All-Star tournament was finally about to begin!
soon.
After the stage lights dimmed and the large screen lit up.
The audience erupted in cheers as soon as they saw the lineups of the two teams displayed on the screen!
"Holy crap, it's wind against wind again?!"
"That's strange. Everyone says that Wind Formation Dog doesn't need to be used, so why is Wind Formation being used so frequently in the semifinals?"
"The formation isn't the key; the key is that both teams have made significant changes to their lineups!"
"Bianliang City still opted to send K-ge instead of Lian-jie. As for the others, Qian-ge, Qin-se-xiang-si, Taiyang, and Shen-jian, it's actually a lineup of two sealers, two physical attackers, and one support?"
"Lantingxu seems to be similar. Aoye and Kuangye form a dual physical and magical output lineup, then Xuanye and Sishui Nianhua form a double seal of Daughter Fangcun, and finally a Netherworld Mechanic to support the formation. It's very solid."
"Judging from the lineup alone, I feel that Lantingxu seems to be stronger?"
"Indeed, it has no shortage of physical and magical damage, and it also has the support of the Underworld that can apply minor death effects for targeted kills. Its flexibility completely surpasses that of Bianliang City!"
"Tsk tsk, this is getting interesting..."
The lineups for the first round of the BO3 between Bianliang City and Lantingxu have been officially revealed.
The audience was initially surprised, but immediately began to analyze the strength of both teams' lineups.
As they said.
Judging solely from the compatibility of the team lineup.
The Preface to the Orchid Pavilion is clearly much more reasonable than the city of Bianliang.
After all, the Martial God Altar has been developing for so many years, and everyone knows that a monotonous output structure is a fatal flaw.
As a result, Bianliang City ignored Xuejian, the Dragon Palace hero, and insisted on sending Shenjian to the field in the first round of the BO3, forming a double physical damage lineup with 98k.
It's not that dual physics has no advantages.
If you could have a Netherworld character to help you with small-scale kills and point-and-click attacks, it would pose a significant threat to your opponent.
But the problem is, they didn't go to the underworld either!
all in all.
Even Bianliang City's own fans were somewhat dissatisfied with the lineup arrangement for this match.
pity.
Bianliang City has a history of using weak team compositions.
However, they always manage to defeat their opponents with a bad hand.
Ultimately, this led to a situation where, over time...
No matter how bad their lineup is, everyone has gotten used to it and will only complain a little.
While everyone was engrossed in analyzing the lineups of the two teams...
But then the 30-second countdown at the top of the screen disappeared.
The fifth All-Star Finals have finally officially begun!
The battle begins.
Then, the daughter of Bianliang City, 'Qinse Xiangsi', decisively took the first speed and used a graceful lotus step to instantly seal the daughter of Lantingxu, 'Sishui Nianhua'!
See this scene.
The audience members watching the Lanting Preface performance immediately frowned.
It's not good news that your daughter is being outpaced by the other daughter.
But soon.
Just as the longing for love and companionship sealed away the fleeting years of life.
Next up is the time for the annual festival in Sishui.
But instead of being punished by standing, she raised her hand and threw a special skill at Qinse Xiangsi—
Stasis!
"Wow, that's a decisive move!"
"It's obvious that Sishui Nianhua knew from the beginning that he might be slowed down, so he simply used Stasis to start the game and slow down the opponent's daughter first."
"You're going to play like this right from the start, huh? Well then I'll have to watch carefully!"
"I don't understand, since it guessed that it might be slowed down, why didn't Lantingxu just use the bird formation directly?"
"The bird formation is easily countered and lacks other advantages. If you don't gain a significant advantage, you'll suffer a huge loss!"
It's only just begun.
After Qinse Xiangsi obtained the first speed and decisively sealed Sishui Nianhua, who was also her daughter.
The opponent immediately countered with a Freeze spell, reducing Qinse Xiangsi's speed by 10%.
The audience was surprised, not expecting the two teams to start playing mind games right from the beginning.
And soon.
Before everyone could discuss it further...
Then, after the stagnation of the longing for love in Sishui, it was seen that the years had passed.
The next to make a move was soon Pan Si 'Qian Ge' from Bianliang City.
Tenderly affectionate—
It was Qian Ge's turn to make a move.
Without hesitation, she immediately unleashed a tender and affectionate attack—
The seal failed!
As this tender expression appeared on the Lantingxu square 'Xuanye', it quickly disappeared.
This time, it was the fans from Bianliang City in the audience who frowned.
Originally, having a speed advantage in both of our own units at the start should have been a great thing.
However, the freezing technique of Sishui Nianhua cast a shadow over this advantage.
But before they could calculate whether this freeze spell would completely slow down their daughter's speed.
Qian Ge's affectionate gaze at Xuan Ye was once again met with disappointment.
It's... kind of annoying to watch.
But I never thought.
After enduring a tender, affectionate glance from Qian Ge.
Next up was Master Xuan's turn.
Instead of counter-sealing Qian Ge as everyone had guessed, he used the same special technique—
Stasis!
Watching the emerald green freezing effect swirling around Qian Ge's feet.
The audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into a lively buzz!
"Holy crap, another freeze? Is this even possible?"
"Two freezes at the start, this Lanting Preface is something else!"
"It's confirmed! Lantingxu definitely knows the speed of Bianliang City's double seal very well, otherwise he wouldn't have gone all in like that at the start!"
"How strange! How can they be so confident that they can't possibly outrun Bianliang City?"
"That's not the key point, is it? The key point is that if they keep playing like this, the speed of these four sealers will probably be completely thrown into chaos next round!"
"It's good to be in chaos, it's good to be in chaos!..."
She watched helplessly as the Lantingxu Fangcun 'Xuanye' cast another Freeze spell at Qian Ge's feet.
Even the slowest person could see it this time.
This Preface to the Orchid Pavilion clearly demonstrates a thorough understanding of the double-locked situation in Bianliang City!
This is quite similar to 2008.
Previously, during the semi-finals of the 2008 World Cup, when they fought fiercely against Bianliang City.
Everyone has felt this more than once.
The group from 2008 had a very good understanding of the situation in Bianliang City, and they knew exactly what to do and when to do it.
This is the fundamental reason why the two teams were able to stay close for so long.
It's just that these two teams have played against each other before.
Therefore, it is natural for everyone to feel that 2008 had such a good understanding of Bianliang City.
It is highly likely that they were motivated by shame and made a great effort, and conducted a very long-term tracking and research on Bianliang City.
But what about the Lanting Preface?
This was the first time that the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion had met Bianliang City.
However, the fact that the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion also shows such knowledge about Bianliang City is somewhat illogical.
Fortunately.
The competition has just begun.
Most viewers were focused on the game and no one made any further connections to this point.
Just then, Xuan Ye cast the Stasis spell on Qian Ge.
But soon it was the turn of Bianliang City's transformed 'Sun' to make a move.
Vajra Protector—
When the sun makes its move.
As a healer, he didn't do anything strange. He decisively started with a Vajra attack, applying a layer of damage around the 98k.
And just as he finished putting the Vajra suit on the 98k.
But then it was the turn of the "mechanic" from the underworld to perform the Lanting Preface.
The opponent still didn't use any skills, but instead unleashed another special attack—
Lay down your butcher's knife!
One of them laid down his butcher's knife and used it.
Watching the broken blade animation appear on the 98k.
This time, it wasn't just the fans in Bianliang City who were starting to lose their composure; everyone was almost unable to contain themselves.
"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! What kind of good person starts with three special skills?!"
"It didn't exist before, but it does now. This Lanting Preface is really something else..."
"Although it seems a bit outrageous, you know what, the two freezes and the one that unleashed the killing blow all hit Bianliang City's sore spots exactly."
"That's true. It's hard to say what the effects of those two stuns are, but the 10% damage reduction from 'Put Down the Butcher's Knife' is a real thing. It's just unknown how much it will limit Brother K."
"These guys from Lantingxu must be sleeping with the Bianliang City competition in mind! They know their opponents' key points way too well, they're practically drawing circles on a target!"
Watching the 98k suffer a 10% reduction in damage on the spot after the Mechanic unleashed a devastating blow.
The earlier teasing of the Lanting Preface by the audience vanished instantly, replaced by a wave of shock!
If the previous two freeze spells were just a gamble on a possibility...
The fact that the mechanic laid down his knife proves one thing.
They had a thorough understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of this lineup in Bianliang City, as demonstrated by their Lanting Preface!
Without understanding the game, it would be impossible to shoot so accurately. That's why some people joked that they probably study the Bianliang City match videos even in their sleep.
And at the same time.
Just after the mechanic finished throwing the 98k and laid down the butcher's knife.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the 98k finally moved!
Misty Rain Sword Technique
When it was 98k's turn to make a move, he didn't hesitate at all. He decisively launched a Rain of Mist attack and rushed towards the mad leopard in front of the 'Proud Master' of the Orchid Pavilion Underworld!
Swah——
-
2774!
Swah——
-
2891!
Two swift sword strikes, executed with the Misty Rain Sword Technique, descended.
Two high-damage attacks appeared out of nowhere.
But then, Ao Ye's leopard body swayed twice in succession, and his health bar dropped rapidly. It looked like he was about to be instantly killed!
"???"
"Holy crap, it didn't take off?!"
"This doesn't make sense, how can it not fly?"
"The problem lies with those who wield the butcher's knife!"
“Normally, even with Master Ao’s durable leopard build, Brother K should have a damage output of 3000 or more, but this time the first hit only dealt a little over 2700 damage. It’s obvious that he was affected by the ‘Put Down the Butcher’s Knife’ incident!”
"Holy crap, I was just wondering if this execution would cause a chain reaction, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly!"
"What a pity! If we could have instantly killed Master Ao's leopard, Bianliang City would have been in a much better position."
"To be fair, so far, the Lanting Preface has clearly laid out the fate of Bianliang City..."
Watching helplessly as 98k unleashed two slashes of the Misty Rain Sword Technique, he instantly reduced Ao Ye's leopard to a mere sliver of health, but failed to knock it away.
A commotion erupted in the audience; everyone was stunned by this unexpected scene!
As they said.
With the power of the 98k.
Even though Ao Ye's leopard had already demonstrated strong offensive and defensive capabilities in the previous semi-finals.
But normally, it still can't withstand his targeted blasting.
But the result?
Because the Mechanic used her first skill at the start of the game, the 98k's damage was significantly reduced.
The missing piece of damage directly led to the failure of the targeted kill on Ao Ye Leopard, allowing the opponent to escape with a sliver of health.
This is a bit troublesome.
And at the same time.
Just as everyone was wondering if K's failed attempt to eliminate K would trigger a more serious chain reaction.
But just as he finished his Misty Rain Sword Technique and returned to the ranks, the Lanting Preface Force Underworld 'Proud Master' followed closely behind!
Bloodthirsty Frenzy -
He decisively started with a Bloodthirst attack.
Amidst a flurry of unexpected gazes.
In a flash, he appeared in front of the leopard in front of 98k!
Swish, swish——
-
3166!
-
3287!
Two swift strikes followed.
Two brutal damage spells of over 3000 damage were unleashed in succession.
The 98k-wielding leopard suddenly froze, its health bar instantly emptied, and it flew away with a "whoosh"! (End of Chapter)
