Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 415 Extra if: The young e-sports boy will not meet a white, rich and beautiful classmate (Part )
The lights on the stage were shining, and the roar of the audience swept him over like an invisible wave.

The stage of the finals is naturally bigger than the previous qualifiers. This size does not just mean that the venue is bigger in the physical sense and the audience’s cheers are louder, but also that the opponents are stronger and more famous, and the pressure that comes with it is also greater.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei thought he was a person with good stress resistance. Liu Miaomiao once helped him take a test on Jung's personality theory. His personality type was ENFP, a competitive personality, full of charm, and this kind of person is often the focus of the party.

Lu Mingfei felt that this personality test was not accurate. He had no chance of being the center of attention at a party. The people who could become the center of attention at a party were either powerful people like Chu Zihang or extremely beautiful girls like the little goddess Liu Miaomiao.

But Liu Miaomiao then said that the advantages of the competitor personality are that they are cheerful and kind, insightful, and sensitive to the needs and feelings of others; the disadvantages are that they are too easy-going and overly optimistic, and are used to pleasing others and compromising on things that are important to them. They fall in love easily in relationships, and they fall in love completely.

After listening to her, Lu Mingfei reflected on himself and felt that what Liu Miaomiao said was quite right. Both her strengths and weaknesses really matched his own.

Although Lu Mingfei didn't know whether this personality theory was reliable, Liu Miaomiao said that ENFPs have strong stress resistance, so Lu Mingfei believed it. He always smiled when facing pressure from childhood to adulthood.

However, his playing style is not very resistant to pressure. People who are at the top of the rank list know that "MingMing"'s playing style is notoriously aggressive and fierce. Even if your iron torrent pushes to the door of his base, he dares to command his army to the south and compete with you in the speed of changing homes.

It's like the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" in Jin Yong's martial arts novels. There aren't many changes in the moves, but they are very powerful. You know exactly what he will do, but you just can't defend against his moves.

Some people even specifically asked Lu Mingfei how he developed such a vigorous fighting style.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head while looking at the chat box, not knowing how to explain to the other party that he didn't have enough pocket money when he was in middle school, and didn't have much money to go online, so he just wanted to play more StarCraft games in the limited time, so he liked to kill his opponents quickly.

Lu Mingfei walked to his contestant seat, but before he sat down, the audience in the venue suddenly shouted the same ID in unison in stiff English.

"INnoVation, INnoVation, INnoVation!..."

Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked up and saw INnoVation, wearing a one-star team uniform, walking out of the player channel opposite him.

This was Lu Mingfei's opponent in the first round. INnoVation, Li Xinheng. Of course Lu Mingfei knew him.

Last year, he started to show his talent in the MLG Winter Tournament, defeating Huk, Leenock, and Rain, but unfortunately lost to Flash. However, in the subsequent GSL finals, INnoVation swept SOS and won the first "Premier" level individual championship in his career.

Because of his fierce competitive style, he was nicknamed Lu Bu. Like Lu Mingfei, he is a player famous for his quick attack and is currently one of the strongest human players in the world.

The famous TVZ three-man sea flow style was developed by INnoVation. The stars on his uniform represent the number of championships he has won.

Lu Mingfei originally thought that the opponent's team would make some changes in the formation, such as putting INnoVation at the back and using the weaker players in the team to knock him out first. Unexpectedly, the opponent's team was the same as the LOG team and also sent out the team's general players from the beginning.

This also means that INnoVation is absolutely confident in his own strength, and he feels that he has the ability to defeat Lu Mingfei on a frontal battlefield.

……

Lu Mingfei sat down in his seat, preparing to make final adjustments for the upcoming game. The game was also being broadcast live on the Internet.

The two KR commentators sitting in the live broadcast room were talking freely. The contestants from both sides were naturally a hot topic of discussion.

The male commentator in a black suit greeted the camera exaggeratedly: "Welcome to today's game, I am today's commentator Park Dongjun, and next to me is my partner Li Donggen."

The commentator in a blue suit then said, "Welcome everyone, I am Donggen."

"Dongeun, you know, today's game seems to have been a hot topic online these days."

"I know this. Although it is just a Major-level event, it still attracts many StarCraft fans because of players like INnoVation."

"Is it just INnoVation?"

"Dongjun, are you talking about the opponent's player MingMing? I think MingMing has been receiving a lot of attention recently, but he is still far behind INnoVation. INnoVation has won the Premier tournament. And the fast attack style that MingMing has shown so far is also what INnoVation is better at."

"So Donggen, do you think the INnoVation players will win today's match?"

"I'm not one to promote my own country, but I think MingMing is still too young. He has no chance of winning against INnoVation, who is experienced and in hot form recently."

Just as the two Korean commentators were commenting on the two players, the game began amid the cheers of the audience.

As expected, INnoVation chose the Terran, which he was best at. On the other side, Lu Mingfei also took out the Terran, which he played the most in the promotion game, to confront INnoVation head-on.

Li Donggen, the commentator who had been praising INnoVation, saw that Lu Mingfei had also chosen the human race. He immediately clicked his tongue and said that Lu Mingfei's choice was unwise and that he was still too young and impetuous.

Although Lu Mingfei's Terran was in hot form in the qualifying match, he was facing one of the strongest Terran players in the world. Playing Terran in front of INnoVation was like showing off one's skills in front of an expert.

Lu Mingfei, who was wearing headphones, naturally couldn't hear what the KR commentator said. He was already concentrating on the game.

The map for this game is a very classic 2v1 small map in StarCraft 1, Cloud Kingoom, which is translated into Chinese as the Kingdom of Clouds.

Mining, building peasants, upgrading buildings, using the dog to explore the way, Lu Mingfei's operation was smooth. In the first-person perspective, his screen was switching crazily, no screen stayed for more than half a second, and then it was immediately cut to another screen. The APM was so fast that it was unbelievable.

He chose the human race to fight against INnoVation, of course not because of his youthful vigor, the reason was simple, he just felt that his human race could defeat INnoVation.

Yes, INnoVation is of course the best Terran player in the world, but being the best Terran player in the world doesn’t mean he will never lose, just like the fastest runner can’t always come in first.

On the other side, INnoVation was also performing the same basic operations as Lu Mingfei. Both sides' actions were concise and fast, without any redundancy, and the speed of building homes and increasing population was almost close to the theoretical speed.

Soon the changes on the field stopped the chattering KR commentator, and Lu Mingfei's tactics stunned everyone.

Lu Mingfei actually chose the wild barracks style of play.

Wild Bald is a type of wild barracks strategy. As the name suggests, it is a tactic to build all the barracks outside. The opponent's scouting farmers will only see supply stations and gas mines when they enter the house, but no barracks.

There are two types of wild barracks, the first is the wild single barracks, the other is the wild double barracks. The wild single barracks are generally wild death and wild bald.

Bald is the nickname of the pillager. Because the armor on his head is flat and looks like a bald head, players generally call the pillager bald.

The purpose of building a barracks in the wild is mainly to conceal tactics.

In the early days, humans generally used barracks to block the entrances to their own homes, so the scouting peasants could easily know what kind of soldiers you were building even if they didn't enter the door, and then they would change their tactics based on your type of soldiers.

For example, if you see your building hanging pendants, the opponent's home can immediately put down a bunker. Change your tactics according to your situation.

But it's different in the wild barracks, because the wild barracks itself has two ways of playing: wild bald head and wild death god. When the opponent sees that you don't have a barracks at home, they only know that you are in the wild barracks, but don't know your specific tactics. Either you can only bet that you are a wild bald head or a wild death god and make targeted adjustments, or you can consider defending against both death god and bald head at the same time, but this will slow down your own development.

On the contrary, the side that chooses the Wild Barracks will also be at a disadvantage once the game reaches the late stages due to the lack of barracks to block the way. Therefore, the Wild Barracks is a rush-type play in TvT, which is only suitable for fast attacks.

Facing the experienced INnoVation, Lu Mingfei directly chose this tactic that was almost like gambling and handed the coin to the other party.

The strongest human player in the world? Then guess, I am the Wild Reaper or the Wild Baldhead.

……

When INnoVation's scout farmer came from afar and sneaked to Lu Mingfei's house, he was also stunned when he saw that there was only a supply station and a gas mine in Lu Mingfei's house.

Obviously, INnoVation did not expect that Lu Mingfei, a new player, would dare to choose such a crazy tactic as the Wild Barracks right from the start.

After a little thought, INnoVation decided to be cautious and build a bunker at home to protect against Lu Mingfei's Grim Reaper and Bald Man.

……

Faced with Lu Mingfei's fearless style of play, INnoVation chose to be conservative, which in itself was not wrong.

But it was obvious that he still underestimated Lu Mingfei's development speed.

Once you don't dare to bet on whether the opponent is a wild bald guy or a wild death god, and choose a double defense style of play, then your bunker will slow down your economy and technology.

If you take one slow step, all steps will be slow.

Soon, Lu Mingfei's bald troops reached INnoVation's doorstep and slaughtered all the INnoVation farmers.

Although INnoVation had put down the bunker in advance and built infantry to assist in defense, due to Lu Mingfei's perfect pulling, INnoVation's farmers still suffered heavy casualties.

Not only the base, but also the situation outside was very unfavorable to INnoVation. INnoVation's buildings outside were soon touched by Lu Mingfei's bald head and blew up mercilessly.

Seeing the situation taking a turn for the worse, INnoVation was powerless to save the situation and could only open the chat box with a bleak face and type "GG" on the public screen.

Until INnoVation surrendered, the entire game lasted less than four minutes.

In just four minutes...the world champion was voted out. Is he still a human being?

Not only was there complete silence in the audience, but even the Korean commentator who had been praising INnoVation was dumbfounded. He even forgot to say his closing remarks and sat on the commentary desk, staring blankly at Lu Mingfei as he stood up.

After a short break, the second game started soon. Lu Mingfei chose the human race again. As if he was not satisfied with his carelessness in the first game, INnoVation chose the human race, which he was best at, and the two sides changed the map and fought again.

The second map is also a classic 1v1 small map, Day break, Dawn.

After taking a break, INnoVation's condition seemed to have stabilized a lot.

The Korean commentator seemed to have recovered from the slap in the face in the first game. Seeing that both sides started the game normally, he immediately started to brag:
"Although our INnoVation player accidentally lost the first game, it was because the opponent's MingMing chose a very risky strategy, which caught INnoVation off guard and caused them to be accidentally stolen."

"So Donggen, you still think highly of INnoVation this time?"

Commentator Li Donggen said with great excitement:

"Of course, it is well known that INnoVation is one of the strongest Terran players in the world. Although MingMing's previous rush tactics are very strong, we have never seen MingMing's mid-to-late game ability. It is well known that MingMing has won the previous games by rushing. I think once the game enters the mid-to-late game, the more experienced INnoVation players will have the advantage on the field."

In this game, Lu Mingfei did not choose the gambling-like tactic of the Wild Barracks as in the first game. Both human races started the game normally, repeating the same instructions of mining and exploring the way.

The first exchange of fire between the two sides took place about five and a half minutes into the game, when Lu Mingfei, a newcomer, assembled a wave of troops at INnoVation's doorstep. INnoVation also quickly mobilized a wave of medical transport planes and marines to assist in the defense.

Lu Mingfei certainly did not expect that this wave of troops would be able to take down INnoVation's base. His main focus was to harass the opponent's development.

Seeing that more than half of the troops were killed or wounded, Lu Mingfei immediately transferred all the remaining soldiers away.

Everyone thought that INnoVation would seize the opportunity to pursue and kill the remaining troops of Lu Mingfei. Unexpectedly, INnoVation's medical transport plane landed on the spot and flew directly to the direction of Lu Mingfei's base with its soldiers.

"Switch base! INnoVation wants to take advantage of MingMing's lack of troops and attack MingMing's base directly!"

INnoVation's bold move shocked everyone. If the base exchange was successful, Lu Mingfei's troops would be outside and there would be no time to return to defend, and the base would likely be pushed down by INnoVation in one wave.

But INnoVation's medical transport plane did not successfully reach Lu Mingfei's hometown. Halfway through the flight, a ghost suddenly flashed on the screen, causing everyone's heartbeat to slow down.

Of course, what appeared was not a real ghost, but a ghostly fighter plane - the Viking fighter, the most powerful air combat unit of the human race.

Lu Mingfei actually predicted INnoVation's home-stealing tactics in advance and produced two Viking fighters in advance. He also accurately captured INnoVation's route of advance.

"Viking! It's Viking!"

The Korean commentator exclaimed, and INnoVation also looked shocked. In order to prevent his intention from being exposed, he deliberately took a detour, but he did not expect that his flight path was still captured by Lu Mingfei's Viking.

The medical transport plane tried to escape by taking advantage of its speed, but Lu Mingfei obviously did not give it a chance to escape. As the Vikings poured out their firepower, the health bar of the medical transport plane quickly reached the bottom, and it finally crashed to the ground with the troops on board. The Korean commentator also wailed.

Everyone knew that the game was over. Although the loss of a transport plane would not cause the base to explode, INnoVation's population and development progress were far behind Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei had already opened 86 population, while INnoVation currently only had 54 population.

Once a disadvantage is formed, it is irreversible. Although INnoVation's handling of the disadvantageous situation is textbook, the moment Lu Mingfei's iron torrent poured into the INnoVation base, INnoVation still faced a crushing defeat.

Finally, just after 7 minutes, INnoVation, whose troops were almost exhausted, called GG again.

Amid cheers of "MingMing", Lu Mingfei took off his headphones, stood up and stretched, then put away his peripherals and left the contestant channel without looking back.

Cool guys never look back at explosions.
