On the first day of the ESC finals, Zhang Peng won all three games in the group and scored 2-0 in three games, and successfully advanced to the round of 64.

Originally, audiences all over the world, whether they were familiar with Zhang Peng's strength or not, would not be surprised to see this result.

Because the interstellar level of China and South Korea has always been the highest in the world, in previous competitions, generally as long as there are not exactly a few Chinese or Korean players in the group, if there is only one Chinese player or South Korean player in that group, basically the Chinese player and the South Korean player will qualify from the group with a good record.

But this time, countless viewers around the world felt that Zhang Peng, a Chinese player, seemed to be a little different from previous Chinese players.

Because the Chinese and South Korean players in the past are highly professional products, basically the technical and tactical play style is leaky, extremely tight and stable. Compared with the top masters of European and American countries, Chinese and South Korean players have a better grasp of the details and fewer mistakes, such masters are like a sophisticated war machine, many European players who are horizontal and atmospheric look at the scene when they fight, but when they are not careful, they take a big advantage.

What makes many European and American audiences feel helpless is that it may be the difference in race and surname. Europeans and Americans may have rough surnames, while Oriental surnames are delicate, just like Europeans and Americans play football and other big balls well, but the delicate work of table tennis cannot play Chinese. They feel that the characteristics of the European and American players' playing style are very similar to the king of the hill in a fantasy movie with a hammer and knocking it hard, and they want to knock the opponent to death with a hammer, but the Chinese and Korean players are like the kind of elven shooters, that is, they shoot slowly with you, not to kill you with an arrow, but they will slowly grind you to death while saving themselves as much as possible and not letting themselves be hurt.

However, this time the Chinese player's style is completely different, and he used extremely violent and savage rush in the two rounds of the group stage. Instead, he played like a savage with a hammer and slamming it.

For many European and American audiences, this style of play is much better than the meticulous and rigorous style of play of those Chinese and Korean professional players in the past.

Just like watching football, watching Dutch offensive football is much better than watching German football that has been rigorous for a while.

So when the round of 64 began, in addition to the n more Chinese audiences, many European and American audiences also began to pay attention to Zhang Peng's game.

Zhang Peng's opponent in the round of 64 was the American Zerg player Chicako.

Although the ID of Chicako is unfamiliar to the vast majority of Chinese players, it is completely different for many strongmen in Europe and the United States.

In Gu Cheng's list of powers to Zhang Peng, there is Chicako's introduction: Nicknamed the Stinging Snake Zerg, the playing style of the Violent Stinging Snake is very strong, and the stinging snake's work is the strongest among the Zerg players in Europe and the United States. If it's not for the Blitzkrieg to be a particularly strong player and want to use a fork and a blitz against him, then you're wrong... For the Zerg style of playing with a large number of stinging snakes in the early stage, the Protoss has a very specific style of play, which is a large number of forks and lightning soldiers. The combination of pure crystal ore and a large amount of gas ore and very little crystal requirements is also a powerful classic combination like the combination of Terran's spearmen and technology balls.

But the French interstellar sunglasses man said that if he didn't use the combination of a fork and a lightning soldier to deal with him, it would be wrong, it is enough to show how strong this zerg player's stinging snake is strong.

Moreover, although the competition of this ESC is mixed, the players who enter the top 64 are basically already top masters, and 80% of the players are players with extremely unique surnames and unique characteristics, but in the list given by Gu Cheng to Zhang Peng, there are only about a dozen introductions, which is enough to show that the strength of these people themselves is also very strong, not only in this regard.

To put it simply, some of these people have not played well in major tournaments, but they are all dominants of one side.

However, Zhang Peng also happens to be an extremely tough player with lightning soldiers, so when he saw that Zhang Peng's opponent in the round of 64 was Chicako, Gu Cheng felt that this game was very likely to see Chicako being electrocuted by Zhang Peng's lightning soldiers.

But at 9:40 a.m. Paris time, as soon as the match between Zhang Peng and Chicako officially began, Gu Cheng was a little stunned.

As soon as it opened, Zhang Peng's Probe had just explored Chicako's base, and he had already made a double barracks at his bevel.

Twin Barracks Fork Fork Rush!

Just after arriving at the base and leaving the double barracks, this action shows that before the start of this game, Zhang Peng has already decided to rush!

On the big screen projection, in the eyes of n viewers around the world, a barbarian raised a huge hammer again.

***

Chicako's game uses a 12d dual-base start, and the 12d dual-base is the economic flow start, which is much slower than other regular starts of the Zerg. In the statistics, the number of times that the 12d double-base opening was rushed out is also the largest.

"Rush me?"

But when Zhang Peng's opening showed violence and barbarism again, Chicako, who started like this, was very indifferent.

Because of this game, his base appeared exactly at the position of three points, and Zhang Peng's base is now at the starting point, and on this map, it is the two points that are the farthest apart on the ground.

The reason why Rush is called Rush is that in a fast word, Chicako is just on GT, several vests combined, there are at least thousands of ZVP duels, but on such a map, such two points, Chicako has never been rushed to death.

Rush me? Then you can fight the bunker.

It is undeniable that there is a big difference between the surnames of European and American players and the surnames of most Chinese and Korean players. If a Chinese or Korean player who is very tough, when facing the opponent's rush, I am afraid that he will also use the kick to give the opponent the biggest blow through precise calculations.

If you can not repair the bunker, you will not repair the bunker, because the bunker is dead, the soldier is alive, and the soldier who can move is better than the bunker. Moreover, in addition to this, the average Chinese and South Korean players are still a little proud: as soon as the other party rushes, they will make a bunker, which is so faceless and unskilled. Even Uncle Li said that he hated unskilled work the most.

But in the face of Zhang Peng's rush, Chicako thought about saving trouble, you want to come to rush, right? I'll just make you two bunkers, whether you like to fight or not.

He directly pulled five or six drones to the sub-base faction, and at the same time commanded two of them to be bunkers.

"What kind of plane is this guy doing?"

As he expected, when Zhang Peng's first fork arrived at his sub-base, his sub-base also happened to be hatched, but what Chicako didn't expect was that Zhang Peng's fork and Probe, who had probed his base at the beginning, actually didn't bother him to make a bunker in the first place.

Basically, all the Protoss players who use Zhang Peng's rush style of play, the first fork and a probe, will stop the opponent from putting the bunker as soon as possible. Because after the early Zerg came out of the dog, as long as there is a bunker to cooperate and add some drone, it will be difficult for the Protoss to rush down with just a fork. The average Protoss player will always find a way to make the opponent's bunker form a little later, so that during the period when the bunker is not formed, the fork will occupy a certain advantage and take advantage as much as possible. Even if it can't be stopped, the Protoss will find a way to fight more of the bunker under construction, thinking that the Chinese players who are very clear about the details can't not know the details that affect the outcome of the battle, when commanding the two drones to do the bunker, Chicako even focused his attention on the other two drones, if the two drones were stuck by Zhang Peng's card position and couldn't put down the bunker at the first time, then he would immediately command the two drones to put down the bunker. But now Zhang Peng didn't care about these two drones who were bunkers, and he actually commanded the fork and probe to attack the drone that came down to mine the closest one to the fork at the first time.

You fight, I can't go back to mining?

Chicako felt that Zhang Peng's style of play was simply sick, and he didn't get involved with Zhang Peng anymore, so he directly pulled all the drones sent to the sub-base back to the main base mining area.

By this time, his two bunkers had been put down, and the six dogs in the main base had hatched.

Soon after Chicako's six dogs came out, he quickly made up another subbase on the slope.

Because just after his six dogs came out, Zhang Peng forked the bunker under construction twice in his sub-base, and immediately retreated, strictly speaking, Chicako's two bunkers were one and Zhang Peng's fork retreated, which already marked the failure of his rush.

However, many viewers around the world have seen that after Zhang Peng's first fork and probe retreated, he did not return to his base, but stood in a row with the subsequent fork fork and blocked not far from the Chicako mine.

It's like two armies facing each other, facing each other from each other!

In Zhang Peng's base, there is still no gas mine, but there is a steady stream of forks.

What's he doing?

There are n more viewers around the world, and now they feel that Zhang Peng's style of play is really like a simple-minded, savage and violent barbarian.

Because Zhang Peng's style of play is simply straightforward to the point that it is whiter than Xiaobai.

In addition to the fork or the fork, this is obviously only a fork to force the hit.

With such a straightforward and unchanging style of play, there is only one option left to defeat Chicako, and that is to choose the timing of the attack.

There must be no suspense in attacking with forks, and the only thing to see now is when Zhang Peng will attack.

***

Zhang Peng's forks gathered more and more.

Suddenly, the mood of the N Duo audience became tense because at this time Chicako had made up two more bunkers.

These two bunkers are one, plus the original two bunkers, but there are four bunkers.

In the eyes of so many viewers, when these two bunkers will be completed, it is the best opportunity to attack, and if he misses this village, Zhang Peng is facing four bunkers, and there is no store.

However, what made them feel strange was that Zhang Peng seemed to be asleep, but his fork troops still did not move.

What the hell is this guy doing?!

There are n many viewers around the world, and they are increasingly unable to understand the thoughts of this young player from the East.

What is Zhang Peng doing?

Zhang Peng was just waiting, waiting for an opportunity to launch a strong attack.

Although at first one of his forks and probe looked like it was problematic not to hit the bunker. But in fact, Zhang Peng had already seen clearly at that time, in such a position between the two sides, it would never be possible to rush down like that at the beginning. As soon as he looked at the locations of the several drones sent by Chicako, Zhang Peng already felt that even if he tried to prevent those two drones from making bunkers, the other two drones would still make bunkers out.

And what good is it to attack the bunker? Anyway, it is impossible to rush, even if you attack the bunkers a few more times at that time, by this time, those bunkers have already slowly recovered.

So Zhang Peng chose to harass Chicako's mining.

Although he didn't kill a single drone, Chicako's drone ran up and down, and there were only seven or eight drones mining during that time, and two bunkers were replenished. The impact on Chicako's economy is also significant.

Coupled with Zhang Peng's constant pressure of forks, Chicako also made up some dogs, so although Zhang Peng has not made a gas mine, Chicako's technology is also extremely slow, and he doesn't even have time to make up for Drone.

Now Chicoko has two more bunkers, which is indeed a good opportunity when he has just put down the bunker, but Zhang Peng can feel that when Chicoko is mending the bunker at the moment, there are still certain resources to hatch a group of dogs in an instant, and if he attacks at this time, he may not be able to take advantage. And then, there will be a better opportunity.

Although Chicako's base already has three, his drone has never been replenished, and now that he has two bunkers, his number of drones is even less. To start extracting gas, he will have fewer drones to mine the crystals. Although Chicako is now a three-base, it is actually just an empty shelf, and it has not yet plumped up.

And no matter what kind of play he uses next, he will have to make up for drone.

When replenishing drone, not only is it easy to spend all resources at once, but also to do drone requires the consumption of worm eggs, even if there are resources, it is impossible to hatch a bunch of troops at once.

Although this time to supplement farmers is short, because I am afraid that as long as the three bases supplement farmers in one round, they can make up a certain number of farmers to support the next tactical play of the Zerg, but no matter how short the opportunity is, there is still after all.

Zhang Peng is now waiting for this opportunity.

And now, that time is not far off.

Because Zhang Peng expected that as soon as the two bunkers of Chicako were completed, he would be tempted to make up for Drone.

Sure enough, after Chicako's two bunkers were formed, Chicoko had already begun to replenish the drone.

The three bases of Chicako have just begun to make up for Drone, and all of Zhang Peng's forks have already poured towards Chicako's sub-bases.

A barbarian who felt the giant hammer, at this time, finally smashed it down.

***！！！

N viewers all over the world widened their eyes at this moment, and they all felt that Zhang Peng was simply crazy.

I didn't fight before the bunker was formed, but immediately after the bunker was formed, I started to attack.

The moment Chicako saw Zhang Peng attack, he also felt that Zhang Peng was a little crazy. But after the next few tenths of a second, Chicako felt completely different.

Because the moment he saw Zhang Peng's fork rushing over, his subconscious action was to use the shortcut keys on the keyboard to make soldiers, but he immediately found that he not only did not have enough resources, but also did not have enough eggs to allow himself to hatch troops.

Almost instantly, Chicako discovered that his four bunkers and dogs were a little overwhelmed.

Originally, in his judgment, even if he couldn't replenish many troops in an instant, with his current defensive strength, he could resist for a while.

However, he found that under Zhang Peng's actions, his losses were always greater than he expected.

“**”

Chicako immediately cursed in her heart.

Zhang Peng's fork and fork work is several grades stronger than he expected!

In fact, Chicako has never faced such a tough opponent in the competition.

The hand speed that erupted in this instant, I'm afraid it would be above four hundred.

"you! I don't believe your fork is better than my stinging snake! ”

After screaming in her heart, Chicako's mind flashed with such a thought.

The reason why such a thought flashed through Chicako's mind at this time was because at this time, the Stinging Snake Tower in his main base had been built.

In Chicako's match, the next thing I'm going to play is the stinging snake style.

Compared with other playing styles, the stinging snake style is more reasonable and more targeted to Zhang Peng's fork and fork attack. Because the stinging snake needs less gas, as long as there is a gas mine to extract gas, it is enough. And other ways of playing such as flying dragons and latent not only need to upgrade the base, but also have a greater demand for gas mines, one drone hatches a gas mine, and three more drones to produce gas, at least four more drones must be supplemented.

Moreover, the stinging snake style is also Chicako's best style.

The strongest chicako is the stinging snake's work.

Although Chicako's hand speed is definitely not as fast as Zhang Peng's, compared to the stinging snake, the fork without the upgraded speed does not have much to do at all.

This is completely the difference between the classes themselves, just like a minelayer car against a fork, no matter how good the Protoss player who controls the fork is, as long as the Terran player can master the basic minelaying car tail flicking, he can easily use the minelayer to kill the fork.

When Chicako saw that his bunker and dog couldn't stop him, he didn't even use the sub-base drone to help defend it.

If the drones in the sub-base are all crossed, even if you block such a rush, it will be a lose-lose situation, what's the use?

Chicako just keeps hatching stinging snakes!

In this way, if you don't drag drone to assist in defense, you will have enough economy so that he can keep incubating and lurking.

Although the eggs in the three bases are not enough, when the defense in front of his base completely collapses, Chicako can be sure that he can make at least five stinging snakes.

At that time, Zhang Peng would only have six or seven forks left at most.

There is a limit to any kind of work.

For example, if there are too many forks, and a team of multi-forks chases a mine-laying car, if the god's work is a little stronger, then the mine-laying car will basically be wrapped up and killed.

Of course, there is a limit to the stinging snake's fork and fork, let alone when the stinging snake's movement speed and range are too late to upgrade. However, the limit of chicako is five stinging snakes and eight forks!

Chicako once deliberately tried with the master of the Protoss, using the five stinging snake to fight the opponent's eight forks when the opponent's eight forks entered his base.

Now, even if Zhang Peng's stinging is a grade stronger than that Protoss master, then minus one fork, Chicako feels that five stinging snakes can still handle Zhang Peng's seven forks, not to mention, there will be a sub-base drone to assist in defense.

As soon as he prevents it, he can fight back and beat Zhang Peng to death with a steady stream of stinging snakes.

"Just let you see my stinging snake work, let me use the stinging snake to kill you!"

Chicako thought as she hatched the stinging snake.

But what stunned him was that he saw that just when Zhang Peng's fork killed his two bunkers, and he still had two bunkers left, one of Zhang Peng's probes suddenly made a crystal in the place closest to his base.

This crystal was laid down against the slime carpet of his base.

From the time the crystal was put down to the time it was almost completed, Chicako hadn't figured out what Zhang Peng's intentions were, and his remaining two bunkers had been forcibly forked off by Zhang Peng's fork.

And as soon as this crystal was completed, Zhang Peng made two photon turrets in a row!

Boom, just when Zhang Peng made the first photon turret, almost all the spectators watching this game had already shouted.

Fork with photon turret rush!

Chicako suddenly screamed like Zhang Peng's first opponent, the Bulgarian player Oslo.

He never thought that Zhang Peng would come out with a BF during this time, and played a fork with a photon turret rush! Now looking at Zhang Peng's posture, his resources are enough for him to make two photon turrets.

But it was these two photon turrets that made Chicako scream uncomfortably.

He wanted to use the stinging snake to finish off Zhang Peng, and after Zhang Peng had knocked out his four bunkers and dogs, he was left with six forks. Originally, with Chicako's ability to fight, with five stinging snakes, he should be able to knock off so many forks and forks, and be able to launch a counterattack. However, with the addition of these two photon turrets, it is completely different. The photon turret has a longer range than his stinging snake, what else can his stinging snake do? The stinging snake has no surname at all. Moreover, these two photon turrets are still built close to his sub-base, and the photon turret can hit his sub-base, so even if he doesn't fight with Zhang Peng, his sub-base is gone. The sub-base is gone, and there will definitely be no way to fight next.

After chicako screamed for a while, he angrily typed GG.

The Stinging Snake Zerg wanted to use the Stinging Snake to beat Zhang Peng, but they didn't even have a chance to show the Stinging Snake Attack, so they were knocked to death by Zhang Peng!
