Chapter 173： semifinal

Ye Shaoyang walked to the soundproof room opposite and shook hands with Mitchell. Mitchell looked resentful, stared at Ye Shaoyang, and said in broken Chinese, "Next time, I will definitely win you!"

This guy's character is to never admit defeat. It is said that when Zhou Jiawen single-handedly killed him twice in the international server, he chased Zhou Jiawen to make an appointment for a month, and finally equalized the winning rate to 50%. Now, Ye Shaoyang has single-handedly killed him once in the training match, and won him again in the World Invitational Tournament...

Mitchell has been eyeing Ye Shaoyang, will he chase after him again?

Ye Shaoyang didn't mind being chased and beaten by his opponents. It was also an incentive for him. He smiled and patted Mitchell on the shoulder, and said, "See you next time."

Mitchell said angrily: "Go back and play on the international server!"

Ye Shaoyang: "No problem, make an appointment after the game."

After returning to the hotel, Chairman Qiu had a brief chat with Ye Shaoyang, to the effect that "it has already met expectations to make it to the semi-finals, so relax and play in the next game, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose."

The chairman said this to let Ye Shaoyang relax his mind. As the only seedling of Huaguo S10 to break into the semi-finals, Ye Shaoyang focused too much eyes and expectations on his body. If the psychological pressure is too great, it is very likely to make mistakes.

But Ye Shaoyang's mentality has always been good, and he is also used to this kind of pressure.

Does it matter whether you win or lose? That's just talking.

He must win!

Ye Shaoyang didn't go to the game that night. He stayed in the hotel room with Chi Shuo, and analyzed and discussed while watching the live broadcast. Vanessa in the European Division vs. Lambert in the North American Division, the Assassin Civil War, in the end, Vanessa won 2:1.

In the other two games, Jin Minjun and Han Chengyu advanced to the semi-finals one after another.

In this way, two of the top four players are from South Korea, one from the European Division, and one from the China Division. Four to two is to draw lots to decide the opponent. Early the next morning, the four players gather together to draw red and blue cards from the box, and the one who draws the same color is the opponent in the semi-final.

The staff of the competition committee brought the box to the four people under the supervision of the notary office: "Which one of you will come first?" Jin Minjun glanced at Ye Shaoyang: "Lieyang came first?"

Team Tianhuan and Kim Minjun's Korean TIP team often play training matches, and they have met several times in the international server. Although the two met for the first time, they were still familiar with each other.

Ye Shaoyang was not polite, nodded at him, stepped forward and drew a card: blue.

Jin Minjun followed by drawing cards and drew red.

The remaining two looked at each other, Vanessa drew blue, and Han Changyu drew red.

Vanessa looked at Ye Shaoyang with a half-smile, "I'll fight you next time. Come on, Omega."

Ye Shaoyang said: "You too, Alpha player."

Vanessa raised her eyebrows, stepped on high heels and turned away from the conference room with her head held high. Seeing her state, she seemed confident in the next game and was bound to win.

Soon, the results of the lottery were announced on the official website, and Korean netizens were mourning because two Korean players, Kim Minjun and Han Seungyu, collided in the semifinals, so they could not join forces in the finals.

Many Korean netizens commented: "I originally thought that Han Chengyu and Jin Minjun entered the final together, and the S10 individual championship and runner-up were all ours. Now it seems that we can only win the championship and bronze medals!"

"It doesn't matter, there's Choi Hyuk and Park Won Suk's double championship."

"The double championship and the individual championship are ours."

"The S10 World Series team champion is also ours, come on Grand Slam!"

Yao Mu can speak Korean, and he casually swiped the comments on the Korean forum. He couldn't help but complain to the anchor Xiaowei: "Korean faces are really big, and they have already started to celebrate the championship in advance, as if the individual championship must be theirs."

Xiaowei said: "Do you think there is any hope for us Xiaobai to win the gold medal?"

Yao Mu thought for a while and said, "The other three players are all very strong. It is very difficult for Yangyang's Fasb to win the championship. But he is in good shape and is not nervous at all."

Xiaowei said with emotion: "Oh, when I first met him, I only thought he was a very talented streamer. I didn't expect him to go to the World Championships! We both really bumped into golden thighs by accident."

Yao Mu smiled and said, "Isn't it? I hope he wins Vanessa tomorrow. As long as he reaches the final, he can at least get a trophy back. He can be considered to have made history."

In the history of the league, no Omega player has won an individual tournament, because most of the Omega players are supporting players, and a ferocious mid laner like Ye Shaoyang is a minority, not to mention he made it to the semi-finals of the World Invitational Tournament.

Therefore, not only the audiences in the Huaguo region have high hopes for him, but also the audiences in other competition regions have gradually noticed this Omega newcomer from Huaguo.

The semi-finals are scheduled for the following evening, with a day of preparation time.

Ye Shaoyang simply came to Chi Shuo's room in Building B with his laptop. The two sat together to analyze the opponent. Chi Shuo said, "Vanessa is good at surprise attacks, she has a good sense of rhythm and a very fierce style of play. You must pay attention to the grass, the tactics of the previous group stage cannot be reused, for example, the shadow warlock fights stealth thieves, others have seen your routine, and it is easy for her to crack."

Ye Shaoyang nodded seriously: "I think so too, let's study other ways of play."

Chi Shuo said, "Well, I'll practice with you."

The two sat face to face at the desk and opened the arena in the game. Chi Shuo started to practice with Ye Shaoyang from the most common [Sneak Thief], and changed various hero matches to find the best tactical plan.

They practiced until 2:00 in the morning, when the two turned off the computer and rested.

The next day at 7:30 p.m., everyone came to the competition site. Chairman Qiu wanted to encourage Ye Shaoyang, but found that this guy was smiling and didn't look nervous at all. Instead, Chairman Qiu was embarrassed to say more and just patted him on the shoulder. Let him play well.

The game starts soon.

Ye Shaoyang stepped onto the stage, bowed to the audience, turned around and walked to the soundproof room, connecting the keyboard and mouse to the computer debugging equipment.

Yao Mu and Dong Ge opened the live broadcast channel and said loudly: "Friends from the audience, this is Seoul, South Korea, the semi-final of the S10 World Invitational Individual Tournament! Lieyang vs Vanessa, we can see that Yangyang is debugging the equipment in the soundproof room. , the state is still as relaxed as ever, I hope he can have a good performance today."

The east brother said: "Vanessa is a fan of the origin of this player. There are rumors in Europe that she is the apprentice of Antonio, the world's No. 1 jungler who once retired. After her debut this season, she has won a lot of MVPs, almost every time. There are three kills and four kills in the account, and the fight is very fierce!"

Yao Mu said: "Yes, we watched the video of Vanessa's game. She is a jungler with a very keen sense of smell. When she goes to the lane to catch people, she can usually kill the opponent's crispy skin, and the number of kills is quite high. The mid-single shooters who are killed can go around Europe in line, and Yang Yang must be very careful when playing against her."

In the domestic live broadcast room, many Lieyang fans are cheering him on.

There are also many face value fans discussing Vanessa's beauty.

[Vanessa's appearance is very aggressive, isn't it? 】

[Blonde and beautiful girl A, grows on my aesthetic]

[Although the young lady is very beautiful, I still hope she loses! 】

[Come on Yangyang, blow up that Vanessa, you are the most handsome Omega in the world! 】

At the scene of the game, Ye Shaoyang was focused, staring directly at the computer screen, and tapping his hands quickly on the keyboard. After the overnight analysis last night, he was very aware of Vanessa's strength.

Although Vanessa is very strong, he believes that no jungler can compare to Chi Shuo.

Chi Shuo not only reacts quickly, has a first-class consciousness, but also has rich experience in competitions and calm judgment. During this period of time, Ye Shaoyang played 1v1 with Chi Shuo every day, and his awareness and reaction were also improving rapidly.

Chi Shuo used him as a sparring coach, and the effect was still remarkable.

So, today, when he met a world-class jungler in the individual competition again, Ye Shaoyang was not nervous at all - after all, he and Chi Shuo could be evenly matched, so do other assassins need to be afraid?

The first game starts soon.

Vanessa locked the common assassin [The King of Fighters], and Ye Shaoyang took the [Goddess of Storms].

Take [Storm Goddess] to fight [King of Fighters], and I just tried it yesterday.

Although the outbreak of [King of Fighters] is high, [Goddess of Storms] is a hero with relatively high defense attributes among mages. The output relies on tornadoes. Whether the three tornadoes can control people is the key, and the operation is more difficult.

But there is an advantage, this hero is not afraid of assassins getting close, as long as the assassins dare to come and hit her, a tornado blows the opponent away, and the opponent cannot knock her out in seconds.

Vanessa smiled slightly when she saw the choice.

She has killed countless [Storm Goddess] in the European Division. Although [Storm Goddess] theoretically restrains all close assassins and can use tornadoes to blow assassins away, don’t forget, the key to master games is Shot speed! Just go fast enough, and before you can unleash the tornado, you're dead.

Vanessa confidently pressed the preparation, and Ye Shaoyang also pressed the preparation.

The map was loaded, and the two sides began to clear and develop in the middle.

The initial clearing of soldiers seemed a bit boring to the audience, but for professional players, there were a lot of detailed operations, and it was impossible to reach level 6 if one or two soldiers were missed.

When Ye Shaoyang saw the [King of Fighters] coming forward to clear the soldiers, he suddenly released a Q-skill tornado, blowing away the formation of the soldiers on the opposite side, and at the same time blowing [The King of Fighters] a meter away.

The result is that the enemy soldier just killed our soldier, and [The King of Fighters] didn't get the reward for making up the knife.

Vanessa frowned and continued to develop patiently.

Over time, the level of the heroes on both sides increased rapidly.

Level 4...Level 5...

The audience stared nervously at the screen to see who would make the first move in the first wave of Level 6.

At this moment, Ye Shaoyang's [Goddess of Storms] took the lead in leveling up. Vanessa thought to herself that she would be level 6 soon, and he should retreat to the tower to prepare for defense.

However, Ye Shaoyang did not retreat to defend.

I saw [Goddess of Storms] wearing a green mage robe, and suddenly a flash appeared behind [The King of Fighters], her staff raised at the same time, and a hurricane blew from the tip of the staff violently——

The hurricane will blow away the enemy on the straight path, knocking the enemy back 1 meter, Ye Shaoyang's angle is very good, this blow directly blows the [King of Fighters] into the defense tower!

The defense tower will automatically attack the enemy within the range. At this time, there is no line under the tower. [The King of Fighters] was hit by the defense tower, and his HP dropped by about 20%.

Vanessa realized that something was wrong, and was about to flash and run, but another hurricane blew from the tip of the [Storm Goddess] staff, and the [King of Fighters] was knocked back 1 meter again.

Immediately afterwards, the third hurricane blew head-on!

Vanessa: "..."

Vanessa, who was continuously blown away, wanted to smash the keyboard!

——TH-Sunshine (Storm Goddess) killed Vanessa (King of Fighters)!

Seeing this, Yao Mu said excitedly: "Reverse flash, three consecutive blows, Yang Yang's operation was too fast, he used the defense tower to kill Vanessa!"

Brother Dong smiled and said: "The initial damage of the Storm Goddess really can't kill the opponent. But the damage of the defense tower is very high, and it is higher each time. Yangyang blows the opponent under the tower, which is really smart. The Q skill of the Storm Goddess In fact, it is very difficult to hit, his wave of anticipating the opponent's position, suddenly flashed around, and played too beautifully!"

Yao Mu said excitedly: "Most of the storm goddesses are defensive play styles, using tornadoes to drive away assassins who kill themselves. However, Yangyang's storm goddess today is an offensive storm goddess! His tornado is not It's used to chase people, but to kill people."

In fact, professional players are very familiar with common heroes such as [Storm Goddess]. It is not so easy to blow the tornado of Q skill to the opponent.

But Ye Shaoyang analyzed Vanessa's positioning habits and style of play last night. He knew that at level 6, Vanessa would definitely make a surprise attack through ambush in the grass. Bo experience, causing Vanessa to upgrade to level 6 slower than him by 2 seconds...

This is the best hands-on opportunity.

Unexpectedly, after flashing around, blowing the opponent under the tower, let the defense tower send Vanessa away.

This series of operations is as fast as lightning, using the short-term stiffness of the opponent after being blown away, and continuing to keep up with the blowing, the control of the three consecutive blows will be interrupted if there is a slight deviation.

But Ye Shaoyang told everyone with practical actions—

There is never any deviation in his operation.

After Vanessa was resurrected back to the lane, she played more and more cautiously.

But soon, she discovered that this Omega player was too difficult to kill! He always has a tornado in his hand, which can blow away the assassins in the vicinity at any time, and the continuous tornado can also kill people with a backhand.

She has also encountered a lot of [Goddess of Storms] in the European Division. She always felt that the crispy skin of Goddess of Storms is easy to kill. However, Ye Shaoyang's [Goddess of Storms] moves flexibly and moves like the wind, so it is difficult to catch In his position, Vanessa's ultimate move might not be able to knock him out.

What's more, Ye Shaoyang is absolutely amazing in controlling the field, controlling the line of troops to the death.

Vanessa didn't want to delay with him, so she ambush in the grass and made a sneak attack, forcibly taking the opponent's head, but it didn't help, Ye Shaoyang began to avoid the battle and lead the troops to push the tower.

The way he pushes the tower is infuriating.

Bring the soldiers under the tower, and when you go to clear the soldiers...

He blows you away.

"Have you felt the power of a tornado?"

The voice of the goddess of the storm sounded in her ears, and Vanessa, who was blown away, was so angry!

Can you let me clear the line?

The line of soldiers could not be cleaned up, and the defensive tower was half-hearted by the soldiers. The second wave of soldiers will come again, and then half of the blood will be rubbed off... Unconsciously, the outer tower is pushed, and the inner tower is pushed.

Ye Shaoyang pushed the soldiers all the way to the crystal, Vanessa finished replenishing the blood from the base, and hurriedly stepped forward to clear the soldiers, but was blown back to the spring by Ye Shaoyang's big move three times in a row?

Vanessa who was blown away: "??"

I don't want to go home, let me clear the soldiers!

Yao Mu almost died of laughter when he saw this: "Yangyang blew people back to the spring!"

Brother Dong said: "Cough, he is using action to say: you go home, let me push the crystal."

Yao Mu said: "I remember during the group stage, when the opponent was returning from the tower, Yang Yang suddenly appeared, and a set of consecutive moves beat the opponent and sent him home."

Brother Dong said, "Today, are you blowing your opponent home with a tornado?"

Yao Mu: "Yangyang is really experienced in sending people home!"

When the audience in the domestic live broadcast room saw this familiar style, they let out a row of hahaha.

[Lieyang Express, home safely, fast and worry-free! 】

[Killing home, or a tornado blowing home? Two courier methods can be selected arbitrarily]

[Lieyang Express has never disappointed people in sending people home [dog head.jkg]]

【Send you home, remember to give a five-star praise~】

Vanessa was blown home and failed to clear the last wave of soldiers. Ye Shaoyang changed equipment in front of the crystal, bought a pair of attack speed knives, and pushed the crystal with the soldiers, winning the first game.

He took his hands off the keyboard and was pleased with the result.

The head to head ratio was 1:1, and in the end he won.

He found that [Storm Goddess] is quite useful in fighting this kind of close-range assassin. Of course, everything is pre-judged and the skills must be accurate, otherwise, you will only be swept away by a tornado.

For the first time, Vanessa felt the urge to vomit blood.

This blazing sun is really irritating to play games?

She took a deep breath to adjust her mentality and started the second game.

In the second round, she chose [Blood Clothes Assassin], which is the most explosive assassin, but the risk is high, and only the residual blood can deal the highest damage, and it is easy to kill the opponent and be counter-killed. Ye Shaoyang chose [Spirit Master] to save his life, [Spirit Master] is the most defensive Fatan, and also has a big move seal, which can seal the opponent in place.

In theory, [Holy Spirit Mage] has a good chance of winning against [Blood Cloth Assassin]. After all, the defense is high, and the Blood Clothes Assassin may not be able to defeat him. But Vanessa fought very hard in the second game. It may be that Ye Shaoyang's style of blowing people around in the first game made her a little depressed. In the second game, she directly injured herself and exchanged her life for her life.

Ye Shaoyang must be replaced in death.

The head ratio is 1:1, 2:2, and one more head will determine the winner.

Ye Shaoyang thought that she should be steady at this critical moment and slowly look for opportunities, but she didn't expect that this sister was so cruel, she directly mutilated her own blood to 1 drop, and suddenly flashed over, a set of explosions killed Ye Shaoyang!

Although she herself died, but according to the order of death, she killed Ye Shaoyang first and Ye Shaoyang killed her last, so Vanessa won this round.

The score was 1:1, Ye Shaoyang rubbed his fingers, preparing for the third game.

In the tiebreaker of the semi-finals, both sides blindly select heroes and cannot see the opponent's choice.

Vanessa chose [Demon Hunter], a mid-range controlled jungler with long hands, not afraid of being blocked.

Ye Shaoyang chose the magic thorn [Illusionist], which is simple and rude, and can burst into seconds with a set.

In the early stage, Vanessa had a slight advantage and controlled Ye Shaoyang to take the lead to get first blood.

But Ye Shaoyang followed and fought back, without any loss.

Both sides knew that this game would decide the outcome, and the fight was intense.

After the head-to-head ratio became 2:2, Vanessa used the grass as cover and hid there to make a sneak attack and take the third head. The audience from God's perspective watched Ye Shaoyang pass by the grass where she was hiding, and their hearts came to their throats.

However, Ye Shaoyang seemed to have the ability to predict, so he turned his head spiritually, and suddenly a Q skill was thrown into the grass, knocking out Vanessa who was hiding there, followed by WR's combo, a brilliant purple phantom Fragments fell from the sky, killing Vanessa home in one wave!

--victory!

The golden words that popped up on the screen made the domestic audience boil together!

There were a lot of 666s in the live broadcast room, and Yao Mu's voice trembled with excitement: "Congratulations to Lieyang for winning the semi-finals and successfully entering the finals of the S10 World Invitational Individual Tournament! Lieyang has also become the first in history. , the Omega player who made it to the individual finals!"

Brother Dong said: "From being unpopular at the beginning, to now, becoming the biggest dark horse in the S10 World Invitational Tournament, reaching the finals in one breath, Lieyang has created a miracle again!"

On the stage, Ye Shaoyang left the soundproof room to shake hands with Vanessa.

Vanessa seemed a little confused and couldn't accept the result. Ye Shaoyang stood in front of her for a while before she came back to her senses, stood up and shook hands with Ye Shaoyang, raised her eyebrows and said, "How do you know I'm hiding there?"

Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "Because, I have a first-class jungler who knows where you like to hide."

Vanessa was stunned for a while, and then responded, "You mean Moonlight?"

Ye Shaoyang: "Yes."

Vanessa shook his hand with a complicated expression: "Congratulations."

When returning to the backstage, Chairman Qiu walked up to Ye Shaoyang excitedly and patted Ye Shaoyang on the shoulder: "Good job, we've entered the finals!"

Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but ask: "Chairman, you never thought about it, is it possible for me to win the championship?"

Of course Chairman Qiu thought about it, but he just thought about it secretly, and was embarrassed to say it.

Because what he said out of his mouth would make others feel that he was shameless.

Why don't you think it's possible? Lie Yang is a rookie, or is he a mid laner, individual champion? There are so many excellent assassins and fighters in the world. Mage wants to break out of the siege under the assassins and fighters?

Difficult to climb to the sky.

But now, Lieyang actually created a miracle and made it to the finals...

Nothing is impossible!

Chairman Qiu laughed until his eyes narrowed: "I believe, you can win the championship!"

In the past few days, Chairman Qiu discovered a very strange phenomenon. Lieyang has a very good mentality. No matter how much pressure he is under, he can turn it into motivation. win?"

Sure enough, after hearing this sentence, Ye Shaoyang said earnestly: "Tomorrow's finals, I will play well. I have reached the last step. If you back down at this time, I will be so sorry for those who supported me."

When he said this, he looked back at Chi Shuo, which happened to meet Chi Shuo's gentle gaze.

Chi Shuo said with his lips, "Come on."

Ye Shaoyang laughed and said to him with his lips: "I know."

The players from the Huaguo District returned to the hotel together. Don't dare to go out and eat indiscriminately during the game, in case you eat a bad stomach. Chairman Qiu promised to invite everyone to have a good barbecue after the comparison.

Everyone stayed in the hotel to watch the second semi-final.

The next game was a civil war between Kim Min-joon and Han Seung-woo, and in the end, Han Seung-woo won.

Han Chengyu, a teammate of Cui Hyuk and Park Yuanxi, is the main top laner of the ATB team. He won the S9 team world championship with them last year. In addition, he has always been surrounded by world-class mid laners and jungler teammates, and his level has also improved by leaps and bounds.

The Korean media has always claimed that Choi Hyuk and Park Won Suk are the world's No. 1 Nakano. Of course, Han Seung-woo is also praised as the world's No. 1 top single.

The players recommended by the Korean division this year are Choi Hyuk, Park Won-seok, and Kim Min-joon’s individual match. After all, if all three players are from the ATB team, other teams will have opinions. Kim Min-joon’s qualifications are older. Therefore, the professional league in Korea promoted Jin Minjun, and Han Chengyu did not get the recommended quota.

He made it to the Invitational himself from the Wild Card Division.

A record of all wins, ranking first, a dark horse from the wild card division.

The Korean Forum saw the list of the finals and started to revel.

In particular, the fans of the ATB team are ready to celebrate: "In the double competition, ATB Nakano won the championship; in the individual competition ATB single won the championship, this is really a happy ending!"

"ATB, the well-deserved world's No. 1 team!"

Some people are also questioning Ye Shaoyang's strength.

"The Omega from China is just lucky. He didn't meet our Korean players along the way. The finals let him know the difference in strength!"

"That is, if he draws Jin Minjun, he may not win."

"Vanessa's assassin is far worse than our Kim Minjun Oppa."

"The overall strength of the Huaguo District is very poor. This Fiery Sun is really lucky."

"Unfortunate lottery, if it's Jin Minjun vs Lieyang, Han Chengyu vs Vanessa, it's our two Korean players who will advance to the finals together. The reason for the lottery is that Lieyang of China has missed out."

"Anyway, he has the most silver medals. In my heart, Han Seung-woo is the first, and Kim Min-joon is the second!"

Yao Mu almost laughed when he saw these remarks. Do Korean netizens ignore Yangyang at all? Also said that he went to the finals because of luck?

Just because he is from the Huaguo Division, which has not won the world championship in recent years, should he look down on him like this?

Yao Muqiang endured the anger in his heart and sent a message to Ye Shaoyang: "Yangyang, we are always behind you! Don't think about anything, just concentrate on preparing for tomorrow's game, come on!"

Ye Shaoyang smiled back: "Don't worry, Sister Mu, I will ^_^"

For some reason, seeing his smiling face, Yao Mu suddenly felt relieved.

She knows that Ye Shaoyang is a player who can always surprise and create miracles.

He will surely keep the miracle till the end.
