"Strange..."

"What's strange?" Guo Fan's residence, Guo Fan looked at the second match between Zhang Peng and Prada that had already begun on the computer monitor in front of him, and turned his head with great interest and looked at Nalan Rongrong.

Nalan Rongrong was about to answer, but Guo Fan immediately waved his hand, "Don't say it yet, see if I guess correctly." ”

"Okay." Nalan Rongrong couldn't help but smile. It's been a long time since he's seen his master watch the game with such interest, and Guo Fan is now even more interested in playing a guessing game with him.

Seeing Nalan Rongrong smile and say yes, Guo Fan immediately said, "You say it's strange, is it because you can't figure out why he has to rush every game?" ”

"It's not." Nalan Rongrong smiled and shook his head, "Zhang Peng himself is a competition-type player, and he is interested, even if it is a rush, it is not unusual, and his ability in many aspects is stronger than the strength of these European and American players, although this Prada's work is strong, it is still a grade worse than him, so he can use any style of play to deal with these opponents." And after he chose this rush style of play, he instead stimulated all his momentum and state. ”

"What's the reason for that?" Guo Fan looked at the computer screen in front of him, and suddenly smiled proudly, "Oh, you think it's strange because you think that Prada's performance level in this game seems to be a grade worse than the last game?" ”

"Not really." Nalan Rongrong looked at the second duel between Zhang Peng and Prada and smiled, "European and American players are more emotional, and there is no large-scale professional league in Brazil, although Prada is strong, in fact, it is only a semi-professional player at most." There is definitely a gap between amateur and semi-professional players in terms of psychological quality and emotional control compared to professional players. What's more, even if they are highly professional, they may not have a coach like Lin Changxin, who includes the ability to resist external interference and control emotions in the necessary training items..."

"Lin Changxin is really an unborn genius." Hearing this, Guo Fan interrupted Nalan Rongrong's words, "The vast majority of professional clubs now follow many of his training methods in the national team. ”

Nalan Rongrong seemed to have been accustomed to talking to Guo Fan like this, and when he heard Guo Fan say this, he nodded and continued, "Now more and more clubs and coaches realize that the interstellar skills and tactics have developed to the present, and the gap in skills and tactics has become less and less, and the small gap in psychological quality and emotion is easier to determine the outcome of the game, but Lin Changxin's training methods at least five years ago have already included these." After a pause, Nalan Rongrong suddenly smiled again, and clicked on Zhang Peng's Protoss base on the computer monitor, "But this guy is also a genius, although he is also an amateur, but these aspects of him can be said to be naturally suitable for the game, DA This game is not as good as the previous game, it should be because he knew that Zhang Peng wanted to rush and couldn't stop it, and he was suddenly defeated by his fighting spirit and confidence." ”

"I knew that my opponent wanted to rush, but I still couldn't stop it. This is indeed a devastating blow to confidence and fighting spirit. Guo Fan's colleague nodded, but he had already admitted defeat, "Okay, then why are you feeling strange?" ”

"Because of Zhang Peng's hard work."

"Zhang Peng's?" Guo Fan looked at Nalan Rongrong strangely, and then looked at the computer screen, "What's wrong with Zhang Peng's?" No problem. ”

"I've been watching him lately until he qualified in China. His progress can really be described as a rocket ascending to the sky. In the not-too-distant future, oh no, he should be able to become a superstar, a god of war now, because he is so hot in his games and the passion that makes people easily infected when they watch him play is something we don't have..."

"Hey, hey." Guo Fan was also used to talking to Nalan Rongrong, and he interrupted Nalan Rongrong with a smile, "I digress." ”

Nalan Rongrong smiled unconsciously, he was laughing at his master for being so interested just now, it turned out that he was invisible, and he was already like this. After smiling, Nalan Rongrong continued: "His skills have always been strong, but I found that his ability to do things is much stronger than when he qualified in the Chinese division. ”

"The ability to work is much stronger than when the Chinese division qualified, and it has only been a few days since the Chinese division qualified, which is indeed a bit strange." Guo Fan nodded.

"That's not the weirdest thing about me." Nalan Rongrong said, "But I think that with his current ability to fight, in the last game with Prada, when he was fighting with Prada, he could directly take a few Probes and use Probe's card position and welding to deal with Prada's spearmen, so maybe Prada could be hurt in the early stage, why did he have to wait until later to airdrop Probe or something?" ”

Guo Fan thought for a while, "Indeed, with his control of the fork and the position of the dragon horse, in the case of so many dragon riders' strong attacks, each of the dragon riders did not die in vain because of mistakes, and with his ability to fight, there is no problem with multiple control point units at all." Didn't he think of that rush? ”

"I don't think so. He seems to have left something on purpose, why is that? ”

"Haha. This kid. Guo Fan suddenly laughed.

"Master, what are you?"

"I figured it out."

"You figured it out?"

"yes. Do you think, his style of play is not deliberately weakening his tricks, but deliberately highlighting his calculation and judgment ability? Throw some probe and go straight to weld to death.,In this way,Some people think that his rush is just that.,Xterran is not in a good situation this time.。 ”

“ipxterran？”

"Apart from him, who else is Zhang Peng's threat in this ESC?" Guo Fan smiled, "This junior player of ours is not simple, it is rush again, and he is putting a trap on ipxterran in the overall situation, planting a seed of failure, he really has some grandmaster style." ”

***

Prada worked desperately, and after being directly rushed by Zhang Peng in the first game, he wanted to take revenge in this game.

Seeing that Zhang Peng was extremely arrogant again, as if he would only start with this one opening mode, Prada gritted his teeth and still adopted the start of a single heavy industry and two bases.

It's just that one less anti-aircraft turret has been made, so he has a loophole.

Prada felt that in this game, as long as the defense was a little better and the anti-aircraft turret was more, he could block Zhang Peng's rush.

But what Prada didn't expect was that Zhang Peng was just a simple fork rush to a dragon riding rush in this game, and under the two strong attacks, he couldn't stop it.

What's going on?

When Prada couldn't figure it out, he didn't know that Nalan Rongrong and Guo Fan, who were watching the battle, had already made a conclusion about the battle between him and Zhang Peng.

Don't talk about him if you change to another race, but Guo Fan and Nalan Rongrong are both Terran players, and when it comes to the battle between Terran players and other races, there may be no one else in the world who can be more accurate than Nalan Rongrong and Guo Fan combined.

When Prada started the second battle, he just thought that as long as the defense was a little better, he could block Zhang Peng's rush. But he didn't realize that in the first game, he withstood Zhang Peng's rush in the early stage when his momentum and confidence were at their peak. And although he gritted his teeth and wanted revenge, when such an idea came up, he was actually afraid of Zhang Peng's rush.

In this way, he himself has not yet realized it, but in the eyes of people like Nalan Rongrong and Guo Fan, his level of work and many aspects are already inferior to those in the last game.

So the battle between him and Zhang Peng, at the beginning of the game, the result was already doomed.

"The barbarians are coming."

After the ESC's Top Bracket Round of 32, a French magazine reported on Zhang's performance in the previous matches under this headline. And on the front page, a large color photo of Zhang Peng after winning the competition was published.

Compared with N Multimedia's overwhelming coverage of Zhang Peng, this headline and feature report are nothing in the first place. However, it was not the e-sports magazine that published this report, but the top three fashion magazines in France by circulation.

Generally, this kind of magazine will only publish special reports on the world's most influential figures.

Zhang Peng's ability to appear on the front page of this kind of magazine can be said to be a great award. And this also confirms that the vast majority of young people in Europe and the United States are more admired for individual heroes and more for unique people who do not follow the rules.

Four consecutive rounds of barbaric rush without any reason, Zhang Peng is now this kind of unique character who deviates from the scriptures and does not follow the rules.

And just like in a fantasy blockbuster, the magician who is high up in the battlefield is far less exciting than the knight who slashes the past with a long sword along the way in the battlefield.

Although Zhang Peng is now called a "barbarian", by the time the 16-8 match in the winner's group began, the ESC staff had already found that the competition venue seemed to have become a little crowded and insufficient.

Compared with the previous round of the game, there were more than 1,000 people in the stadium to watch the game, which is already very amazing for a stadium that can only accommodate a few thousand people.

And these people have only one purpose for coming, that is, to see Zhang Peng, whether they will use rush in this round of the game.

On February 12, at 9:30 a.m. Paris time, the entire competition venue was full, and there were more than 1,000 or hundreds of spectators waiting for the top 16 of the upper bracket. These people are all online waiting for the upcoming webcast.

Because it was still during the winter vacation, except for Guo Xixi and Ai Jing mixed together, the rest of the people were at home separately.

However, in order to look like a better atmosphere, Guo Xixian deliberately built a QQ group on this day, and pulled all these acquaintances into a group.

Before waiting for the live webcast to start, in this QQ group, so many people are online at the same time, of course, it is extremely lively.

"Do you think Senior Zhang Peng will continue to rush this time?" At this time, Ning Hai couldn't help but bring up such a topic.

"In my opinion, this guy is definitely going to be." Wu Yingda said in the group, "The more difficult this guy is, the more difficult it is, one or two games are accidental, and a few more rushes are inevitable." ”

"Then why does he want to rush every game?" Luo Yun asked in the group.

"I'll have to ask Guo Xixian about this." Books said, "Zhang Peng is out, he must have to report the military situation to Guo every day." Guo Xixi, you say, why does Zhang Peng want to rush every game? ”

Guo Xi smiled proudly when she saw Books say this, in fact, Zhang Peng did call her in the past two days, so she was very clear about why Zhang Peng wanted to rush, but she still immediately snorted, "Yes, I know what's wrong, so I won't tell you." ”

"If you don't say it, I know." Books laughed.

"You know?"

"yes." Books laughed and said, "The reason is too simple, Zhang Peng, this guy, must want to finish the fight quickly, complete the impossible task, and then come back and marry you, and then you can do whatever you want." ”

"Die, what should you do, what should you do?"

Just when Guo Xixian scolded books like this, Luo Yun cheered, "The live broadcast has begun!" ”

***

The table of the top 16 of the ESC soon appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Zhang Peng's opponent's ID in this game is TRUTH.

"British?" As soon as he saw the flag representing Truth's nationality on the matchsheet, Books couldn't help but say this.

"Die!" Guo Xixian and the others almost fainted directly, "It's good that you still remember your surname, TMD is obviously a German flag, and you actually said that it was a British player." ”

At 9:40 a.m. Paris time, Zhang Peng ushered in his opponent of 16 into 8, the German player Truth.

And in the list of great powers given to him by Gu Cheng, the introduction of truth is: Nicknamed the Fort Protoss, he is best at using various turret tactics to rush opponents......***
