Pokémon, but cultural invasion

The first game ended with Samsung's Zoroark sweeping the board, and the audience began to understand the core gameplay.

"Spending gold coins to refresh and chase three-pointers, don't you guys think this is a lot like a slot machine in an arcade?"

"The oddball who goes all in to find the last Volcano Moth card really looks like a gambler who's desperate after losing."

"Isn't this more technically demanding than slot machines? You have to choose your lineup based on the ever-changing situation."

Auto Chess is not difficult to learn; once you understand the core gameplay, you'll naturally appreciate its fun.

Quanshu stepped down to the commentary booth, and his room position was taken over by substitute A-Xing.

The second game begins.

Driven by a burst of energy, Qi Shu, who was stuck with the card, put out three [Dark] type Pokémon that he had gathered from the wild monster stage.

Why has Qishu, who usually prefers a conservative playing style, changed his approach and opted for a losing streak at the start of the season?

The camera pans to the players' chessboards, and Izumi provides commentary as he switches between them.

"The anchor is asking a question he already knows the answer to."

"Yes, as viewers, we are also very curious."

"Kiki's face turned as red as a persimmon after the last round, don't you think?"

In the Hextech Specs picks, Lulina's unique synergy stands out.

[Unique Synergy: Gain a random 1-cost unit. After upgrading the unit to 3 stars and playing 10 games, it will undergo Mega Evolution.]

Lulina randomly got a Little Dragon, and she copied the strategy from Qishu to build her lineup.

Daigo's choice of "Breaking Out of the Cocoon and Becoming a Butterfly" is also extraordinary.

[Breaking Free: Gain three random Bug-type units. Once all six Bug-type units on your field are at three stars, Dynamax your strongest Bug-type unit.]

The bug-type pieces are all low-cost cards: three costing 1, two costing 2, and one costing 3. They gain a free refresh each round when they are played.

It has the characteristic of rapidly forming combat capability.

The two bettors went on a crazy card-rolling spree after the second phase ended, putting a lot of pressure on other players in the mid-game with their high-quality cards.

"The situation of player Qishu is not optimistic."

Before we knew it, we were at stage four. The lesson from the previous battle with the Izumi Tree was still fresh in our minds. After the monsters spawned, everyone spent money to improve their monster quality.

Without the smallest giant, the Strange Tree's life points are already hanging by a thread.

"I feel like I'm about to die."

"The evil attribute that cannot receive rewards is a maggot."

"Without providing synergy in combat, how can we possibly defeat those monsters outside?"

"I can't think of a way to win right now."

The strange tree, draining wallets, couldn't beat anyone, creating a vicious cycle that ultimately led to its demise in a forgotten corner.

"Eighth place eliminated, a truly tragic situation."

"Qishu's dream of a comeback ended before it even began (sad)."

"I understand completely now. The evil attribute is either number one or number eight."

Qi Shu slumped in her seat, her eyes vacant, wondering if she had typed something wrong.

If the initial losing streak was intentional, the subsequent losses were out of necessity.

Bobo was filled to the brim, bleeding uncontrollably, and Lightspeed Old Eight was eliminated.

The battle continued, with Lulina's Charizard battling for ten rounds, the magnificent light symbolizing Mega Evolution connecting it to the mascot.

【X/Y】

Both Mega forms were appearing in the game for the first time. Lurina had no idea of ​​their strength and hesitated before choosing X based on their appearance.

The dark blue Charizard X stood on the chessboard, its body engulfed in ethereal, ghostly blue flames.

On the other side, Daigo also squeezed out all his resources and went all in to get Samsung's 3-piece Feral Butterfly.

Six Bug-type Pokémon made their grand entrance, their Dynamax energy surging from within and enveloping Butterfree.

Emerging from its cocoon, the gigantic Butterfree, with its dazzling wings that cover the chessboard, flutters in.

At this moment, the exaggerated visual effects made it clear to all the viewers that only two players remained in contention for first place.

As expected, the other lineups were no match for them and were easily destroyed.

"The X-spray is so cool, I didn't expect this game to have a bond evolution system."

"I'm curious about what it's like to spray Y-spray; I have to play this game right away."

"I predict Butterfree will win the final battle because it's more difficult to create."

"Lurina's combat power is more Hextech, so Daigo chose the economy type for all three-star units."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two finally met.

Having exhausted their resources, they are unlikely to make any further progress, so the first encounter will determine the final outcome of the game.

Daigo's [Bug (6)] uses Forrettos as the main tank, and its class [Shieldbearer] provides high dual resistances.

The battle began. Charizard X, with its saturated blue energy, unleashed a deep, dark blue fireball that struck Forretos, sending sparks flying.

[Explosive Flames] Sparks flew everywhere, light and airy, but when they landed on the group of small fry, they burned them to the bone, slowly whittling away their health.

Before the previous round of scorching heat had even ended, a new round of sparks had already arrived.

Just as the building was about to collapse, a giant butterfly with blue stripes finally flapped its wings in the critical moment.

【Giant Butterfly Shadow Bewitching】

The cyan, blue, and green phantom butterflies converged into a three-colored storm, sweeping across Daigo's chessboard.

The main tank, Blazing Roaring Tiger, fell into a ten-second slumber. The minions were paralyzed, their attack speed was abnormally slowed, and some pieces were poisoned, dying within seconds.

Fortunately, Charizard X is equipped with the [Spy Cloak], making it immune to all control effects.

But Butterfly's skills still dealt it a lot of damage.

"The special effects of Gigantamax Butterfree's moves are so gorgeous."

"What's the use of looking good? It'll be useless if everyone has a secret agent cloak."

"A familiar feeling, cyber cricket fighting, my favorite!"

Charizard X's damage was explosive, and two more skills cleared out Lulina's board, leaving only Butterfree and Forretress.

The fire-type chess pieces that were controlled were either dead or injured, and the sleeping Blazing Roaring Tiger was nowhere to be found.

Butterfly's second round of skills arrived, and both main tanks fell to the ground simultaneously.

The two ace Pokémon entered into a life-or-death battle.

Each basic attack, the accumulating mana bar, captivated the hearts of all viewers.

At the critical moment, Butterfree's [Escape Button] is triggered, granting it two seconds of invincibility and allowing it to dodge X-Ray's fatal attack.

【Gigantamax Butterfly Bewitching】 activated again, and Charizard X was enveloped in a colorful butterfly pattern. Its last bit of life was drained from its body, and it collapsed heavily.

Daigo narrowly escaped with his victory.

"Fantastic! The final battle after reaching the highest quality was really exciting."

"I'm amazed from the start of the show until now. Tingxiang has truly created a new type of game."

"Auto Chess and Tower Defense are similar in concept, but the opponent is a player, and there are more random elements."

"I have a feeling that tomorrow night, when the game launches, will be a sleepless night."

After the second game ended, Izumiki interjected with commentary.

"Congratulations to Daigo for winning first place in the second round of the game, and thank you to the other seven players for their wonderful performances."

"Teamfight Tactics will be released on the live servers at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

Chapter 195 Phenomenal Game

"Just like the other guests are competing for better rankings, the game also has a ranking system similar to that of the battle platform."

"The top four in a game get bonus points, and the bottom four get deduction points."

"One month later, Tingxiang will send a mystery gift to Teamfight Tactics players at the Master Ball rank."

"We encourage all players to actively participate in ranked mode and compete for higher rankings!"

Izumi delivered a well-prepared speech designed to inspire and engage the players.

The world has few online games, ranked modes are not yet popular, and there is no loathed Elo system.

The existence of a ranking system can better stimulate players' interest and create a tense and exciting gaming experience.

"If being in the top four can improve your ranking, isn't that like climbing the ranks blindly?"

"First place may be difficult, but I believe that with my intelligence, fourth place will be a piece of cake."

"Isn't ranking up this easy?"

The comments section was filled with confidence.

The rules of Pokémon battle platforms are the most well-known: you only have one opponent, and it's either win or lose.

Winning allows you to advance in rank, while losing results in dropping in rank.

Compared to the other two, the format of Teamfight Tactics seems too mild.

Moreover, Teamfight Tactics is a brand new game, and everyone starts on the same footing.

Players are also confident that they are of above-average skill, and that even if they remain in fourth place, they will eventually reach the top.

They couldn't help but rub their hands together, eagerly anticipating the mysterious prize that Quanshu had mentioned.

After the minor incident, the preview live stream continued.

The game continued until 10 p.m., and three more rounds were played, with Qishu, Xiaogang, and Lijia winning the championships.

Based on the average score of the five games, Daigo easily won the championship.

Auto Chess games are incredibly addictive; there are always new lineups to try, and the wide variety of Hextech mechanics adds to the intrigue.

As the preview drew to a close, the eight participants were still eager for more.

"I have watched all five matches seriously, and I'm just waiting for the game to go live so I can start playing."

"I have a feeling I'll be the first Master Ball player in Teamfight Tactics."

“There are strong and weak pieces, and Gible is clearly the shockwave among the five-cost pieces.”

"The preview is almost over, I'm so sad, when will it air again?"

"To be fair, it seems like Qishu figured things out towards the end, but unfortunately his luck wasn't on his side."

This preview explains the basic gameplay and some of the Hextech mechanics that appear; the remaining surprises are left for players to discover on their own.

Quanshu sighed, "Happy times are always short, and before we know it, it's time to say goodbye to everyone."

"Thank you again to all the guests for attending Tingxiang's new work test event. See you next time!"

The dojo masters of the nine-square grid bid farewell to the audience one by one, and the signal gradually disconnected.

Behind the curtain that had fallen over the main live stream room, a crowd lingered, unable to disperse for a long time.

"Looking forward to seeing a preview of Tingxiang's new work again, it's time for the chat segment that we all enjoy."

"The fire-attribute god has Volcarona to support the late game and Charizard to gamble on; the other attributes are a mess."

"Steel-type is the strongest, snowballing out numerical superiority, and the three-in-one Magneton is invincible in the mid-game."

"If you ask me, the Dark type has the highest potential, with eight Ditto characters of your choice, each costing 3 stars and 5 coin."

...

Quanshu took off his headset and drank some water to moisten his throat.

Winters in the Kanto region are so dry and cold. He looked out the dark window, where frost flowers rose silently from the bottom of the glass.

The New Year is coming soon.
