In addition to beating Cai Cai and being the runner-up in a Doubi Cup at the age of 15, Sok's best result was only in the top 8, and his bonus in the first half of the year was only more than 2,000 US dollars. It seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a second-rat

If you open Sok's resume this year before the WSB game, you will find that if it is not useless, it is at least lackluster. In addition to beating Cai Cai and being the runner-up in a Doubi Cup at the age of 15, Sok's best result was only in the top 8. The bonus in the first half of the year (before the WSB competition) was only more than 2,000 US dollars. It seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a second-rate player. .

looks at his actual battle situation. He has lost 10 of the last 11 games against Lyn. He has lost 8 of the last 9 games against FoCuS. He has lost 8 of the last 9 games against Moon. In the past year, except for , took advantage of the poor state of Luna. Won once in the Doubi Cup, but failed to win at other times. When participating in WSB this time, Sok was the standard "study with the prince".

However, such an ordinary Mao Huang suddenly broke out after the start of WSB. If the round-robin defeat of Moon and FoCuS still has the possibility of upset, then the elimination of Moon God + reversal of Fo CuS in the knockout round is a complete display of strength. .

Whether you look at it from the perspective of being a dark horse and winning the first championship in 2022 for the struggling human race, the story of Emperor Mao’s victory is too magical, too magical to be true. I originally thought that David's victory over Goliath was just a legend in fairy tales. Who would have thought that such a wonderful story could exist in reality.

Mulin Shuangshuangji

Lyn undoubtedly has an overwhelming advantage over FoCuS. Lyn has won 11 of the last 12 games, which is simply a slug. Unexpectedly, after losing the first set, FoCuS suddenly broke out into a small universe. One move and two panda attacks disrupted Lyn's rhythm. It was also from this game that Lyn no longer chose to fight against FoCuS in a conventional way. Instead, tried to use 's ultimate move to win. As a result, Lyn's calculations were completely wrong this time.

TH A double-BB headhunting rush is actually Lyn's regular routine. This trick has also taken away countless heroes. However, this time, Fo Ye was well prepared. His troops relied on the underground cave to defend steadily, and he was also very accurate and ruthless at critical moments. In the last game, Lyn wanted to rely on Juggernaut to achieve success. Unfortunately, was not as strong as Lyn and could not defend against the opponent's double attack. After all, the prophet headhunter was the answer to the orc civil war in this version. Unlike

and Lyn who were still able to fight back, the match between Moon and Sok was one-sided. If KOG's unexpected death in the first set was due to his poor start, then in the subsequent two sets, Moon was completely outclassed by Sok when he was blown away on multiple lines and defeated head-on.

Moon's multi-line and overall view are his strengths, but when facing Sok, he was disturbed by the tank. The multi-line mobilization not only made Moon exhausted, but also played a role in tactical deception (pretending to explode the tank and actually turning the front). The third set was even more exaggerated. Moon clearly had a huge advantage in the early stage, but was inexplicably exposed by King Mao in the division of mines, so that the situation was completely reversed. Being able to compare with Moon in terms of multi-line and overall perspective, one can imagine how much Sok has improved.

I thought that Moon and Lyn would meet in the finals, but unexpectedly, they met in the third place match. This was really unexpected.

A dark horse and a dark horse

If I had to use one word to describe HvO, it would be "difficult". It's difficult to level up the Archmage in the early stage, it's difficult to level up the MK in the mid-term, and it's also difficult to fight in a team fight when the troop population is lagging behind in the later stage. In short, it's all kinds of difficulties.

The final between Sok and FoCuS also developed in this direction. In every game, Archmage was suppressed by the Prophet in the early stage. It is common for level 2 to fight level 3, and sometimes it requires a lot of infantry and even musketry. life. Once passive in the early stage, the orcs become more comfortable mining and grabbing points for leveling in the middle and later stages. All HUM can do is delay GG's time.

In the past, HUM would either forcefully fight with two copies and then GG, or switch to a mining strategy and be hacked by the double BE Wolf Cavalry. With two bottles of poison in front of you, no matter what you choose, you will inevitably die.

Fortunately, after unremitting practice, Sok finally found the correct solution.His response was: No matter how disadvantaged he was in the early stage, he had to actively stick to ORC and not give ORC a chance to replenish supplies or mine and explode troops. In team battles, HUM must seize the hero at all costs. As long as he can drive away and Niutou , he will have a chance to make a comeback. Facts have proved that this trick is really effective. Even if a level 2 archmage + level 1 MK is facing a level 3 prophet + a level 2 bull head, he can still win.

To a certain extent, HUM’s tactical process is very similar to that of UD. The Musket Witch and Brilliant Aura are a bit like spiders and boxes, while the MK Hammer Instant Kill is a bit like NC combos. Except for the lack of evil halo, the rest is almost the same. A replica of UD. The result was the same. MK turned into a hero killer and played with ORC heroes to applause. HvO had not been so proud for a long time.

Of course, in addition to reliable tactics and excellent operations, Sok's victory was also thanks to FoCuS's superiority and routine. If the bull head on LR can point out TP, the ending may be different. And if FoCuS could play more flexibly and smartly, or equip its heroes with more life-saving props, they wouldn't lose the championship. The closer the critical moment is, the easier it is to lose control. I am afraid that this old problem of Buddha cannot be changed. Can

Sok become the next color?

has continuously knocked down top players such as Moon, Fly, FoCuS, etc. Sok's recent performance has made people admire him with admiration. Actually, , , this picture now feels a bit familiar.

In 2021, the color is also . After experiencing the accumulation of many competitions, became a blockbuster in the Golden League Summer Tournament. incredibly beat Moon and Lyn to win the championship, and became the new world champion. Before the game, no one was optimistic that Color would win the championship, just like no one was optimistic about Sok winning the WSB title this time. Everything happened so suddenly.

Mao Huang now seems to be developing towards the colorful rise script. It is no exaggeration to say that if we can continue to maintain this momentum and further optimize the operation and tactical process, it is not impossible for Sok to become an S-level player in the future and win gold and silver in competitions.

However, it is not easy to copy the successful script of color. First of all, the competitive environment at that time was different from what it is now. At that time, Happy had not yet participated in the Asian competition, and 120 had not evolved to the big devil status it is today. Color only needed to defeat Moon and Lyn to win the championship. Now, Sok must climb the two mountains of Happy and 120, which are undoubtedly much more difficult than color.

Secondly, the current version is also quite unfavorable to the human race. Even if Sok wins, it is still difficult to reverse the overall decline of HUM. For example, in the HvO confrontation, Sok double-killed FoCuS, but faced Lyn and lost 1-2, which did not break the window. As for HvU, everything is unknown, and it is not easy to defeat UD's mature Banshee system.

But no matter what, Sok still gave the human race a shot in the arm when it was in trouble, allowing human players and even all second-rate players to see hope again. As long as you work hard, you will still gain something.
