Chapter 379
"Okay, welcome to watch the semi-finals of the semi-finals. The two battles of the semi-finals can be called epic battles. It is two duels between South Korea and the United States. It can be said to be full of highlights. Presumably every player I have the same feeling as me, that is, I hope our two Korean players will win the final victory, so please cheer for our players!"
In order to highlight South Korea's support and emphasis on e-sports, the first e-sports competition funded by the Korean government was arranged at the Olympic Main Arena in Seoul.
In this world, South Korea also successfully hosted the 24th Olympic Games.
But it was still called Seoul at that time. Originally, the name of Seoul in the world was changed to Seoul in 2005, but it was earlier in this world. It happened to be renamed three or four years after Zhuyouxing crossed.
This stadium, which hosted the world-class Olympic events, is now used to host the first e-sports competition, which has been promoted by the South Korean government as an epoch-making progress.
This means that human beings are gradually moving fast from the industrial age of the past to the information age. After the information age, there will be more such new competitions, bringing new vitality to the international economy.
This is actually painting a pie, in order to make people believe in this set.
However, Zhu Yuxing, who came from the digital information age, is very recognized, but whether the Korean stick can lead the information age is a bit uncertain.
The population base is too small, and it is still the first developed country in the world with negative population growth, so it is okay to engage in e-sports, but it is very difficult to do something big.
At this time, there are more than 30,000 spectators in this stadium, which can accommodate nearly 70,000 people.
Most of them are people who are bored and give free admission tickets to join in the fun.
But as long as they want to come, the rest is to get them interested through the competition of video games.
20,000 people in a stadium with 70,000 seats still seems a bit scattered, but this is quite impressive for the just beginning of e-sports.
The vast majority of the 20,000 people are Korean players or people who join in the fun.
When the commentator proposed to cheer on the players, the whole arena immediately burst into shouts.
Koreans are a very competitive race, and sometimes they even develop to the level of a deformed desire to win. You can watch a scene of a showdown with a superpower. They want their country’s people to win more than each other.
In the center of the stadium, even soundproofing equipment could not completely block the players from hearing the cheers.
At this time, Li Mingzhe felt as if something was activated in his heart.
"The game officially started. Our player Li Mingzhe chose the Zerg camp. According to relevant statistics, it is said to be the race with the highest winning rate, while the opponent used the Protoss. It can be said that we had a certain advantage from the beginning."
"That's right, as long as Li Mingzhe plays steadily, continues to produce infantry, and then counterattacks like last time, the probability of winning is still very high."
"Huh? Look, the American player Carl seems to have built the population building just out of Li Mingzhe's vision. Why is it built so far? Will it not be destroyed? Isn't this a meaningless consumption of his own resources?"
"I don't quite understand, what is the purpose of this? Shouldn't this kind of population building be hidden to avoid being destroyed and limit the population?"
On the field, Li Mingzhe chose to quickly produce infantry, and like a madman, he invested all the funds in the most efficient primary arm, Zerglings.
But Carl of the United States chose another path. He controlled a construction unit to come to the Li Mingzhe base and start building population buildings. The buildings without any defense force are so close to the enemy. Isn't this a waste of his own resources? The enemy could destroy such a building at any time, couldn't it?
Many people still don’t quite understand what this strategy is.
Ke Zhu Yuxing is too clear.
People in this world don’t have a deep enough understanding of how to play. After all, this game has only been released for a few months, and every day a bunch of people develop new ways to play.
But this kind of surprise is generally only effective at the beginning of the game.
The more thoroughly and other StarCraft are understood by people, the more difficult it is to have a living space for the gameplay of the whole life.
And this kind of building units around the enemy is a very disgusting gameplay, but it is also a gameplay that is allowed by the rules.
The purpose is to build a group of turrets with super defensive power and attack power outside the enemy's field of vision, and then use these turrets to limit the enemy's living space.
This is commonly known as TowerRush, fort attack tactics.
It is difficult for a very basic Zergling unit like Li Mingzhe to dismantle the turret buildings quickly. In comparison, it is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
Even if it is discovered by Li Mingzhe, as long as one fort is established, it is almost possible to successfully replace multiple infantry units and disrupt the opponent's rhythm, which is tactically very efficient.
Zhu Yuxing really did not expect that this rogue game that players in the previous life had been searching for for a long time was discovered by people in this world so quickly.
Due to special rules, Protoss units must be produced within a certain range of the population building if you want the building to operate stably.
That's why Carl from the US will first build a population building outside of Li Mingzhe's field of vision.
When people didn't understand Karl's intentions, the population building was already built.
Immediately afterwards, Karl built three turret buildings in a short period of time at a very fast speed.
At this time, the narrator and the audience seemed to realize something.
"Hey wait, it's a bit exaggerated to build a turret next to your opponent? Is it still possible to play like this?"
"Li Mingzhe, hurry up and find out, the other party has already built a fort in front of your house!"
"It doesn't matter, don't panic, our Li Mingzhe has a large number of soldiers, and only one charge can destroy these forts!"
"Yes, that's it!"
At this time, the expressions of several representatives of the Korean consortium around Zhu Yuxing were not very good-looking.
They can't understand the game, but at least they can understand the battlefield situation a little bit.
Video games cannot be compared with the real battlefield after all, and the rules are completely different.
If you run to the enemy's door to build a bunker on a real battlefield, it would be courting death, but you don't need to consider supplies or population damage in the game.
"Find out! Find out!"
When Carl calmly continued to build more forts and population buildings, Li Mingzhe also tried to explode troops, and then, at this time, he was finally ready to start an attack.
But in Zhu Yuxing's view, he is basically finished.
