Chapter 399 Sandstorm City

"About tonight's game, we have to mention our opponents."

Pan Lin briefly brought up the topic related to the finals, and brought the topic back to tonight's game.

"Denmark is our opponent in the second round of the group stage. The national team won by a big score before, but Denmark still survived to the semi-finals. It can be said that it is quite strong. Speaking of the other game, the situation is the same. The teams were all qualifying teams from Group B at that time, and the original teams from Group A and Group C have been eliminated..."

"In short, let's not talk nonsense, let's see how the two teams will perform when they meet for the second time."

The map of the group arena is Sandstorm City.

The competition has progressed to the semi-finals, and the map used today is the last of the five officially released maps. There are only two sets of maps left in the quarterfinals, that is, choose one of the two, so the map for the semifinals was known six days ago.

Therefore, it is not ruled out that some teams will skip the quarter-finals and prepare for the semi-finals in advance... maybe South Korea lost the game because of this reason.

As for the national team, although they have made corresponding arrangements, the quarter-finals are still well prepared, and now facing Denmark, they are not sure that their opponents have done much less homework than them.

The first round of the group arena will begin soon, and there are referees coming forward from the player seats on both sides.

Both sides don't know each other's first player to play, and they just make choices based on their own circumstances.

The picture flashed, and the portraits and information of the contestants on both sides appeared on the big screen at the scene.

Huaxia team, Zhou Zekai.

Team Denmark, Mette.

"The professions on both sides are sharpshooters!" Pan Lin said with a little surprise, and then asked, "Director Li, do you have any opinions on the selection of the two teams and this map?"

"Actually, it's not difficult to guess that the two teams will make such a choice, precisely because of some characteristics of this group arena map..."

Sandstorm City, you can easily guess the desert elements in the map just by looking at the name.

This map shows an ancient city built in the desert, but the ancient city has been completely turned into ruins due to years of wind and sand erosion, leaving only some stone pillars and dilapidated walls all over the surrounding area.

The theme of the map is not the desert, nor the ancient city, but the sandstorms that blow from time to time in the desert. There is no fixed direction and no rules at all. Being in it will not only affect the vision of the character, but also slow down the action.

This is the setting of the game. The sandstorm in the map will blow from any direction, and the duration of the sandstorm is not fixed at all. When the wind and sand stop, you can almost see the entire map. Even at the highest level, the visibility is only about 7 or 8 frames away. Even if it is a long-distance profession, facing 7 or 8 opponents with 7 or 8 frames apart, you can only catch blind.

Moreover, once the opponent comes to the relationship of visibility, such as the elemental mage, it will be very dangerous, because the opponent may quickly approach him by using a few displacement skills.

"However, the distance between 7 and 8 bodies is a safe distance for sharpshooters. After all, they have their own spear body skills. In addition, if they stand in the upper wind, they can send their bullets farther. ...Of course, the disadvantages are also relative. If you shoot against the wind, at least the range of the bullet will be reduced by 2 characters, and the skills of other professions will also be affected to varying degrees..."

Of course, these data are absolutely inconsistent in reality. This is just a deliberate design by the designer, in order to increase the confrontation between characters and create more thrills and accidents.

"But no matter what, the sharpshooter is still the most suitable class for this map. It happens that both teams have this class. ...But the optimal solution is here, and there is nothing to target."

When Pan Lin heard this, he nodded frequently.

As for Zhou Zekai, who was sitting on the bench in the audience, he got applause from many audiences after getting up. He turned his head and looked a little shy with a smile on his face. He nodded to his teammates and walked on the stage.

The Danish bench on the other side.

"Oh, it's too difficult for me..."

Mette got up listlessly and sighed secretly. As the first Danish player to play, he reluctantly took the stage.

They had already guessed the possibility of the Huaxia team sending Zhou Zekai. After all, they all understood the simple truth of being a sharpshooter, and there was no reason for the Huaxia team not to understand.

The problem is, this Zhou Zekai is also a player who didn't play when the two teams met last time, and the opponent's strength in the domestic league is also one of the best...

The two professional players have very different personalities, but they are both very popular in their own countries. Li Hui, who appears on the big screen when the two characters are loaded, is also wearing a windbreaker and a top hat. You can imagine the elegance of the characters in battle.

However, this piece of elegance is destined to be owned by only one person in the future, after all, there will be harm if there is a comparison.

At the start of the match, Zhou Zekai didn't make any meaningless moves or talk nonsense, he shot Cloud Piercer and immediately flew his gun to the center of the map.

At this time, the scene in the map is still very calm, and it seems that the field of vision is very wide.

However, this kind of calm did not last long. The scenes on the map changed rapidly without any warning. Soon the entire map was covered by a vast expanse of yellow sand.

On the large screen with a bird's-eye view, the sand and dust just become a filter, which does not affect the viewing experience of the audience. Only when the main perspective of the character is presented, the scene of the map will be completely restored.

After the sandstorm came, the big screen quickly switched to the main perspective of Zhou Zekai and Mette.

"The sandstorm is blowing from the east, that is, the direction on the right side of the screen, which is quite beneficial to Mate. His flying gun can then receive the boost from the sandstorm, which can greatly increase his movement speed!"

Unexpectedly, this random first sandstorm was so unlucky.

From the bird's-eye view, the action of Cloud Piercer became obviously slow, and his ears were filled with the sound of whistling wind and the sound of gravel rubbing, making it impossible to distinguish the opponent's position at all.

Although the distance between 7 and 8 personalities is a visible distance, there will be some clear to blurred transitions. The actual situation may be that beyond the 5th personalities, only a blurry figure can be seen, and it is even possible It will be confused with other obstacles, and one who is not paying attention may be half a beat slower than the other party's reaction.

For this kind of map, the ability to play on the spot or adapt to changes is more valued. After all, even if it is prepared in advance, it is impossible to predict the direction of the sandstorm on the map.

"Zhou Zekai was not very lucky, because he was facing the direction of the headwind, so the deceleration effect was the strongest. It would take a lot of time and effort to transfer, and, in such a situation, if the two sides meet, one shot from Cloud Piercer will take over. With an absolute disadvantage..."

"Besides, affected by the wind direction, Mette's attack distance will be longer and the coverage will be farther. The range of Cloud Piercer will be greatly reduced because of this, after all, it is facing directly."

Pan Lin explained.

Mette, who has the upper hand, of course will not let go of this excellent opportunity. Using a flying gun in a sandstorm also requires a little skill. If the skill is not in place, the wind and sand may affect the movement of the character.

In the picture, Mette is operating his sharpshooter, his body rises and falls lightly and smoothly, like a master of lightness kung fu, every time he only needs to tap his toes, his figure can float far away...

"The operation of this flying gun is quite beautiful! It can make the most of the movement speed provided by the sandstorm."

Even Pan Lin couldn't help but praise Mette's skillful flying spear.

And the speed of this movement can also be called terrifying.

"However, in this way, Cloud Piercer will be discovered soon." Li Yibo said.

On the bird's-eye view, the distance between the two sides is shrinking at an extremely fast speed.

It won't be long before Mette will be able to discover Cloud Piercer.

"If you think of a way to go up or down now, you should be able to..."

However, this was still too slow for Zhou Zekai.

Visibility is not 7 or 8 cells on a straight line, but actually a circle with a diameter of about 15 cells. If the opponent's movement speed increases by 60%, he will reduce his movement speed by 60%.

As a professional player, after this period of training, he is already familiar with the influence of wind direction on movement speed and the calculation of distance.

Calculating the opponent's distance, he chose to retreat in Meite.

On this basis, the two sides that are about to meet move towards the downwind in an almost parallel posture!

In the field of view of the audience, the movement of Gun Piercer in the downwind state is also extremely proficient.

However, Zhou Zekai's strategy also surprised the audience a little bit. After all, most people immediately thought of moving in other directions. Since there are people in front, they should go to the right or left.

Now Cloud Piercer is walking along the wind, although he can keep a distance from Mette, but the shortcomings are also obvious, and the final result is that he will be forced into a corner.

Mette's movement is not a complete straight line, but a slightly curved S position, which can intercept the opponent to the greatest extent.

As a result, after moving a large distance in an unexpected time, they couldn't find the figure of Cloud Piercer, and what this meant was quite obvious.

"So smooth?" Mate muttered.

But if it's so easy, he doesn't mind forcing the opponent into the corner directly, which is more conducive to his performance.

"The distance is almost there, so let's start here." Mate said to himself.

After moving to a suitable distance, Meite stopped the flying gun operation, the character raised the revolver, and superimposed several skills on himself.

Bang bang bang!

The bullets are pouring out!

Meite launched an attack on the figure hidden outside the sandstorm.

The sound of the sandstorm can hide the sound effects of most skills, so Zhou Zekai often has to wait until the bullets appear in his field of vision before he can detect them.

And Mette's judgment is undoubtedly quite accurate, coupled with the range and the blessing, the wide-area strafing accurately included Cloud Piercer!

"Oops!" Pan Lin yelled, "There are eight sandstorm wind directions on the map, and it turned out that Zhou Zekai was the most unfavorable one when he came. The spear king is a bit unlucky today."

Even if it is the gun king, there is no way to avoid being sanctioned.

However, the bullets that Mette fired were very regular, and Zhou Zekai, who was a colleague, could also guess the opponent's attack method very well.

The moment he saw the bullets appearing in his field of vision, Cloud Piercer used the force of the wind to dash downwards in an arc, and a row of bullets hit behind him.

He has basically returned to the vicinity of his original refresh point, very close to the edge of the map.

But in an instant, the sandstorm faded visible to the naked eye.

When the sandstorm comes, there will be no signs, but when it subsides, there will be a slow but extremely obvious process.

Zhou Zekai was keenly aware of the changes in the sandstorm, and the sound of bullets being fired from the revolver was also clearly heard in his ears.

Listening to the sound to identify the position, the angle of view was deflected, and the figure was quickly captured.

Before the audience could even react, they saw Cloud Piercer almost jumping and moving, swiftly rushing towards the opponent. The moment the sandstorm subsided, the impact on the speed of movement was already negligible.

The reason why they didn't dodge far away from the beginning, but kept moving at a distance, was of course to be ready for a counterattack at all times.

Even if he dodged the bullet just now, the sharpshooter who is not far away from Cloud Piercer is only about 10 stature away.

"Cloud Piercer started to counterattack! And he is still charging towards the target!" Pan Lin shouted.

Mette also noticed that the storm subsided, but was still surprised by Zhou Zekai's quick reaction, but at this time, Cloud Piercer was also within his range.

While Mette moved, he attacked Cloud Piercer.

However, he was still not familiar with Zhou Zekai's style of play, so he didn't retreat immediately.

"Sliding shovel! Zhou Zekai directly used the sliding shovel to avoid the bullet, he is still charging forward, he is approaching Mette!"

When he saw Cloud Piercer resolutely approaching, Mette frowned immediately, but after a while he realized what his opponent was going to do, and he felt a little guilty, as if he had made a mistake in his judgment just now.

Cloud Piercer twisted his body and jumped up, and at such a close distance, he actually fired a bullet towards the ground, using the flying gun to further reduce the distance.

Mette's bullet followed Cloud Piercer's figure, and after Cloud Piercer's figure landed, he rolled...Suddenly, he appeared in a very close position.

Shoot!

Cloud Piercer raised his foot...

"Stand shot... dodged! Knee hit, hit! Gatling machine gun, the operation is so beautiful..."

Cloud Piercer's attack tempo was full the moment he got close to him. Although Mette's reaction was not slow, it was already a bit late when he realized Zhou Zekai's intentions.

The reason why Cloud Piercer retreated so seemingly uselessly was because Zhou Zekai's plan was to wait.

Keep your distance and wait for the moment when the sandstorm passes to fight back.

The two sides come and go, and Mette still can't get rid of it. He is a little embarrassed to find that if he wants to get rid of Zhou Zekai's offensive and re-establish his own rhythm, he also needs to wait, waiting for the sandstorm to strike again.
