When I think of fighting with Zhang Peng in the future, many times I can only fight the most essential things, just like a swordsman can't use swordsmanship, he can only fight and wrestle like a barbarian to compete with brute force, not at all chic, and most of the time it must still be impossible to fight, Huang Qian and Xiao Shi are very frustrated, at the beginning of the draw of the lower bracket, Huang Qian and Xiao Shi feel that such frustration has even affected the state of the game that they have deliberately cultivated since participating in ESC.

As soon as the draw table of the losers' group came out, as soon as he saw his opponent, Huang Qian shouted in a depressed voice.

Because Huang Qian's opponent in this game happened to be Jin Yaohuan.

Last year, Huang Qian and Jin Yaohuan were basically evenly matched, the two met a total of four times in various competitions, Huang Qian and Jin Yaohuan won two games each, but Huang Qian has basically reached the peak of his career, while Jin Yaohuan is still young and strong, and he is still on the rise, this year Huang Qian already feels that Jin Yaohuan is stronger than himself, and he has met Jin Yaohuan twice this year, and Jin Yaohuan won him both times. If his state is still terrible, Huang Qian still feels that he can fight, but now that he has been beaten into the loser's group, and watching Zhang Peng's pure power of reducing ten meetings with one force affecting his state, this time against Jin Yaohuan, Huang Qian feels that he is basically more than lucky. But after a fight with Jin Yaohuan, Huang Qian was dumbfounded, he actually won two games in a row, beating Jin Yaohuan 2 to 0.

What's going on?

Huang Qian was stunned for a long time and couldn't figure out what was going on, saying that Jin Yaohuan deliberately released water and let himself go, which was absolutely impossible. Because Jin Yaohuan regards Fang Shaoyun as his number one enemy, the people who face the blue star have always worked hard.

But if you don't release the water, how can you hit him 2-0 all at once?

At this time, Huang Qian didn't expect that in fact, the answer to Jin Yaohuan being defeated by him was very simple, that is, his state was affected by the rise of Zhang Peng, a rising generation, and Jin Yaohuan's state was also affected by Zhang Peng's performance.

In fact, as early as the era of Jimo and Wang Feiyu, these two epoch-making masters have said that for the game of StarCraft, the most important thing is not the overall situation, not consciousness, not work and calculation ability, but confidence.

There is a belief in winning in the heart, and the game will naturally be tenacious, keen, stable mentality, accurate judgment, even if their technical and tactical level is not as good as the opponent, at least they can play their due strength, many top masters can turn defeat into victory under the disadvantage, and achieve a shocking reversal, all because they are very confident in the game.

Just like Zhang Peng's previous games, if he loses confidence under the disadvantage, it is impossible to find an opportunity to turn things around.

If a person's confidence is shaken before the game, it is easy for him to play unbalanced and make mistakes.

And if a person is beaten in the best aspect of his game, his confidence in the game will be even more affected.

In fact, the Off-Line Zerg Outline felt a little strange about his state of mind at the beginning of the second game, and that's why.

In ordinary games, even if you lose a few games, your confidence may not be shaken. Because a veteran professional player like them has already exercised his nerves to be tougher than the average player.

However, Zhang Peng defeated him in the aspect that Outline believed in the most.

Outline firmly believes that in the early stage of the Zerg and the Protoss, at least in the confrontation between low-level troops such as Dog and Fork, the Zerg will easily have the advantage, but he was killed by Zhang Peng at this time.

It's as if one's faith has been broken.

It's like if you love a girl so much that you think she's as pure as an angel, but one day you find that she's holding hands with other men, but she's actually stepping on a few boats, and she's not as pure as you think.

What kind of shock and blow will this have on a person?

So even a battle-hardened player like Outline will be deeply affected.

The same is true for Kim Yoo-hwan.

First in the Red Gold Dragon Internet Cafe, Jin Yaohuan lost to Zhang Peng under his most proud confrontation, and he still doesn't dare to admit that it is him.

In these two games, they were defeated by Zhang Peng in the most direct confrontation and in their best calculations.

If you lose in tactical changes and small skills, it will be better, but such a defeat is equivalent to everyone smashing the opponent with a stick, but you fight with his stick, but you are smashed by the opponent's strength and suddenly kneel in front of the opponent.

Zhang Peng's direct and hot style of play is easier to plant a seed of failure in the hearts of opponents than ordinary top masters.

Zhang Peng's almost pure power style of play will make the players who are killed under their fight never consciously remember their failures in their hearts, so that when they face Zhang Peng in the future, they will have a little more scruples and less confidence than against others.

Although Jin Yaohuan has the surname of Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, he has continuously exploded in Xiaoqiang's surname, and was slapped to death by Zhang Peng when he thought that he must have beaten Zhang Peng, and he has unconsciously planted a seed of failure in his heart.

This is okay in normal times, but now he is also watching Zhang Peng's game on the spot. The better Zhang Peng plays, the greater the psychological pressure will be, and the more he will feel that Zhang Peng is too perverted. Now that Zhang Peng simply defeated the off-line Zerg 2-0, the vast majority of people watching the game felt his terrifying pure power, and the seed of failure in Jin Yaohuan's heart naturally sprouted unconsciously.

Huang Qian looked at Zhang Peng, most of them just sighed that the future was terrifying, he still taught him at that time, and now his strength has surpassed his own, and it will be difficult to beat him in the future. But Jin Yaohuan looked at Zhang Peng's performance, but he was really weak-hearted, so in terms of confidence and state, Jin Yaohuan was definitely much more affected than Huang Qian. The strength of Huang Qian and Jin Yaohuan itself is only one line apart, and now if Huang Qian's state is nine points, Jin Yaohuan's state is only seven points, and it is not surprising that Huang Qian can defeat Jin Yaohuan 2-0 compared to the two.

***

After this round of matches in the lower bracket, there were only four players left in the lower bracket, Huang Qian and Little Stone from Blue Star, Off-line Zerg from the IF Club and Kuang from the HFale Club.

There are only two players left in the upper bracket. Before he knew it, Zhang Peng had reached the championship and runner-up finals of the winner's group of the China qualifiers.

According to the rules, as long as he wins this one more game, Zhang Peng will no longer have to play, and will directly advance as the first in the Chinese division.

And his opponent in this final round is no stranger to him. His opponent in this last round was Corsair, the top master of the Protoss who defeated Xiao Shi and advanced, and fought against him in the Hunan Division.

Meet Corsair again.

This is definitely the festival of all Protoss supporters, because no one expected that the last match of the upper bracket of the ESC's China qualifiers would be a double god.

And before that, no one thought that the last game of the winner's group would be Zhang Peng vs. Corsair.

***

"What an evil sect!"

At the beginning of the last match of the upper bracket, when Corsair entered the competition room, when he saw Zhang Peng in the opposite game, Corsair couldn't help but shout in his heart.

Not many days have passed since the game in the Hunan Division, and the scene between him and Zhang Peng in the Hunan Division is still vivid in my mind.

But when facing Zhang Peng again, Corsair already felt that Zhang Peng was completely different from that time.

Whether it is a person or the feeling of playing a game, Corsair feels that Zhang Peng is more confident and mature.

When he played against Zhang Peng in the Hunan Division, Corsair already knew that Zhang Peng's level was very high, and it was very likely that he would not be able to win, but at that time, Corsair only thought that he might not be able to win before the game, but now, when Corsair saw Zhang Peng again, the feeling in his heart was that he vaguely felt that he might not be able to stop it for even ten minutes.

How can this feel this way?

Before the game started, I unconsciously thought that the opponent might be able to get rid of myself in ten minutes.

Before the game, such thoughts are definitely not good.

After secretly screaming in his heart that it was really evil, Corsair immediately shook his head, forcing himself to put aside these non-existent feelings that were not conducive to the play of the game, and after debugging the mouse, he entered the host and hit the referee OK.

Although emotionally, Corsair forced himself to put aside the unfavorable factors, but at the beginning of the game with Zhang Peng, Corsair once again clearly found that Zhang Peng was indeed completely different from the Hunan Division.

When he was in the Hunan Division, Zhang Peng's work still gave people a dull feeling.

His performance was not bad, but except for the use of lightning soldiers, the rest did not make much of a deep impression, like a stream flowing smoothly.

But this first match between him and Zhang Peng had just begun, and he already felt that Zhang Peng's brash was full of sharp and violent power. In the early days, there were not many things, and because of this, the early work was still just a flowing stream, but Zhang Peng's work was like a seemingly calm stream, but the stream was full of turbulent undercurrents and whirlpools.

In this game, Zhang Peng appeared at 5 o'clock, Corsair appeared at 11 o'clock, one of the two people explored the path clockwise, and the other explored the path counterclockwise, both of which probed the opponent at the second point. As soon as the two of them found the opponent, they were the first fork, and they rushed directly into the opponent's base.

Of course, it is impossible for a fork to kill the opponent, but it can disturb the opponent's mining area, take this side of the fork, and then run to the side of the fork, fork the opponent's farmer, this is the trick that many players will use when the gods are against the gods. A Protoss player who is a cut above his opponent is likely to kill two or three of the opponent's probes with a fork in the early stage and successfully gain a certain upper hand.

Now Corsair and Zhang Peng are both using this style of play.

Corsair used this style of play because he felt that Zhang Peng's work in the early stage was not very good, but the forks of both sides were staggered, no matter after the other party's forks rushed into the opponent's base, when Corsair's forks were not able to fork Zhang Peng's probe, Corsair found that one of his probes had been blown up by Zhang Peng at once.

For any Protoss, this kind of is basically the same, the fork is to run to the edge of the mining area, and attack the probe who is mining at the edge of the mining area. Because if you go deep into the mining area, it is easy to be blocked by the probe and killed. For the defenders, the attacked probe is pulled into the inner area of the mine, and then the newly produced fork is used to chase the opponent's fork.

A probe can withstand at least two attacks from the fork, so it is generally too late to pull the probe when the opponent's fork starts to attack. When Corsair's fork went to attack Probe on the edge of Zhang Peng's mining area, Zhang Peng just had time to pull it away. But Zhang Peng's fork ran to the edge of the mining area, and Corsair just wanted to pull away the outermost probe, but suddenly found that Zhang Peng's fork leaned one step further inside, but the attack was a probe that was slightly inside the inside, and only attacked twice, and this probe exploded at once.

At this time, Corsair reacted, and Zhang Peng's path-finding probe before was also constantly welding this probe, welding and welding probe, and several probes in his mining area were all used by Zhang Peng to make this probe, and he lost a lot of blood, and at this time, Zhang Peng used a fork to attack a probe with less blood.

In this kind of, not only do you have to keep controlling your own pathfinder probe, but when the fork arrives, you have to instantly click through the n probes in his mining area to find which one has less blood, and you have to look at the opportunity to find which one is closest to the edge of the mining area in order to succeed in one hit.

So although it was just a probe that exploded all at once, Zhang Peng's work had already made Corsair feel completely different from before, full of sharp and violent power.

can't work hard like Zhang Peng!

Both sides just controlled their forks and forks for a few turns, and Corsair was already keenly aware of this.

In Corsair's plan, he wanted to make one or two forks and then immediately switch to a large number of dragoons. But as soon as he sensed this, Corsair immediately put down the buildings needed to make the hidden knives one after another after making a dragon rider and find a way to kill Zhang Peng's pathfinder probe and fork.

Corsair just wants to get out of the velocity.

The reason why he fought like this was because he found that Zhang Peng had come out of the double barracks, but the technology was much slower than him.

Zhang Peng did this, basically because Zhang Peng saw that he had always been a single battalion, and he put down BY early, and wanted the double battalion to keep sending troops to rush him.

Just as Corsair put down the first building needed for the hidden knife and the VC needed to upgrade the speed of the forks, Zhang Peng's four forks had already rushed out.

At this time, Corsair was still a single barracks.

Corsair's years of experience in the game and his keen sense of the game told Corsair that although he has two forks and a dragoon now, he can block these four forks, but considering Zhang Peng's ability to send troops later, he must immediately make up a barracks, keep sending troops, and delay the time to release the hidden knife, so that it is possible to block Zhang Peng's rush.

But he gritted his teeth, but he didn't replenish the barracks.

That's his tactic. Because if he does this, the hidden knife will come out slowly, and it is very likely that it will not be effective. He just wanted to convey a subtle message to Zhang Peng, and if he kept sending strong troops, he might be able to beat him.

At this time, he quickly took out the hidden knife with all his strength, although there were not many gas resources, but in his hands, in fact, he had been deliberately keeping about two hundred crystal ore resources.

These two hundred crystal ore are enough for him to immediately replenish the BF needed to make a photon turret.

It is best for him to be Zhang Peng's non-stop strong troops, in this way, before his hidden knife comes out, Zhang Peng will definitely not have time to make anti-concealment, in Corsair's calculations, Zhang Peng will not even be able to make the buildings required for anti-concealment ob. Zhang Peng can only have time to make a photon turret to defend his hidden knife at most, so that even if his first hidden knife goes out, even if he can't hack Zhang Peng to death directly, he will force Zhang Peng to use the photon turret to defend. In this way, by the time Zhang Peng makes a reversal, he will already have an absolute advantage economically, and then the pure rioters will be able to suppress Zhang Peng. And Zhang Peng sent a strong rush, of course, he could fight, but Corsair deliberately pinched so many crystal mines in his hands, and he had already calculated it, as long as Zhang Peng really rushed, he would immediately make a bf, so that he would directly fill the photon turret in the mining area. In his calculations, such a defense can definitely block Zhang Peng's rush. Because as soon as his hidden knife comes out, he will occupy the absolute initiative.

In Corsair's calculations, unless Zhang Peng also used the same way to deal with the off-line Zerg and pulled all the probes to rush, it would be impossible to attack the mining area defended by his photon turret. But in this case, even if he can attack it, as long as he makes a hidden knife, Zhang Peng will be completely hanged.

Corsair gritted his teeth, resisted the invisible pressure of the game, and observed Zhang Peng's movements, what made his nerves tense all of a sudden, he saw that Zhang Peng's four forks really rushed up without stopping.

Zhang Peng is really going to rush!

Zhang Peng's style of play is almost barbaric, almost without any disguise.

As soon as he saw Zhang Peng's four forks rushing up, Corsair immediately made a BF, and as soon as the BF was formed, he immediately filled the photon turret in an excellent position in the mining area.

As Corsair expected, when Zhang Peng lost the two forks, Corsair's two forks were also all red blood, and Zhang Peng's next two dragoons also followed, so Corsair's two forks and one dragoon blocked the intersection also retreated, and at this time, Corsair's second dragoon also came out. The two red-blooded forks hid slightly behind the dragoons, and the two dragoons went up first to deal with the two forks and the two dragoons that Zhang Peng rushed up.

Under this fight, Zhang Peng had one fork and one dragoon left, while Corsiar's two red-blooded forks and two dragoons were all light.

When Corsiar saw this fork and a dragoon rushing towards his mine, he also knew that Zhang Peng would have two dragoons coming one after the other. But he didn't panic, because at this time his first hidden knife had already begun to be built. And in his mine, as he expected, two photon turrets were formed.

In this way, even if after his first hidden knife came out, he didn't cut these Zhang Peng's troops in his base, and rushed directly to Zhang Peng's base, and the two photon turrets could delay until his second hidden knife came out.

When the second hidden knife appears, it is when the situation is completely reversed!

Zhang Peng's two brand-new dragoons appeared immediately behind one of his forks and a dragoon.

The three dragoons and a fork also seem to find it useless to attack the Photon turret, just killing two probes.

But Corsiar was even more determined, because seeing Zhang Peng's two dragon riders, Corsair knew that Zhang Peng was a continuous dragon rider from the double barracks, and based on the time when Zhang Peng opened the gas mine, Zhang Peng had absolutely no gas resources to make the VR buildings needed to make anti-concealment at this time.

And just after Zhang Peng killed his two probes in a row, his first hidden knife also walked out of the barracks, and as soon as this hidden knife appeared, he casually slashed and solved Zhang Peng's already red-blooded fork.

After Zhang Peng's fork was slashed by Corsair's hidden knife, his three dragoons quickly retreated. Seeing such a sight, Corsair had a cruel smile in his heart.

With such a quick retreat, even if he used a dragoon to block the intersection, he could only be slashed by the hidden knife, delaying the time for him to go out with the hidden knife, so that Zhang Peng had time to defend the photon turret. In this way, Corsair can't directly hack Zhang Peng to death, but it is easy to directly open the mine, and then he can directly crush Zhang Peng to death with a leading economy.

Corsair's hidden knife followed Zhang Peng's three retreating dragoons and rushed forward, but as soon as he rushed into his imagination, the hidden knife was about to open a killing ring and slash the slope of the three dragoons, but his eyes widened in disbelief.

He saw a crystal that didn't belong to him, and a photonic turret that didn't belong to him was shining and forming.

Two dragoons were stuck at the bevel, while the other dragoon was standing next to the photonic turret that was just in shape.

Suddenly, Corsair only felt that something in his heart fell from a high place and shattered all at once.

Zhang Peng actually built a photon turret on top of his bevel!

This photon turret can be formed at this time, and it is only possible that when he broke his mouth with four forks, when his two red-blooded forks and dragoons retreated, he had already sent Probe to do it.

At this time, it is indeed impossible for Zhang Peng to have the resources to make an anti-hidden OB, and it is impossible to put down even the building that makes the OB, and he does this, and even the photon turret can only be formed.

But against a hidden knife, the anti-concealment of a photon turret, plus three dragoons, is already enough.

And if this photon turret is made in front of Zhang Peng's sub-base or at the bevel of the base, it is nothing, but now this photon turret is directly made at the bevel of Corsair, so that Corsair's hidden knife will never be able to get out, only alive in the base.

Corsair's hidden knife can't get out, and it's even more impossible for him to rely on the advantage of the hidden knife to open a base under the slope.

Therefore, Zhang Peng's photon turret, which was beyond his expectations, can be said to have cut off all his plans and all his vitality in an instant. All the ambitions and hegemony collapsed in an instant!

A quick hidden knife... Face three dragoons blocking the way out and a photon turret.

In a slight dazedness, Corsair saw that Zhang Peng did not immediately continue to send troops over, and Zhang Peng, who had obviously made a photon turret and was now at the sub-mine at the bottom of his slope, directly put down the sub-base after a little waiting.

Zhang Peng was at the sub-mine at the bottom of his slope and put down the sub-base!

Corsair hit GG right away.

If you continue to fight, you will definitely be abused, and Corsair is afraid that if she persists any longer, she will directly lose her confidence in the next battle.

And when he played GG and exited the game, Corsair couldn't help but lose his mind a little when he saw the game time, and even his breath seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Nine minutes and thirteen seconds!

In the first game between Corsair and Zhang Peng, Zhang Peng defeated Corsair in only nine minutes and thirteen seconds!
