International players gathered together, and the Hong Kong team of “Tornado 6” won the Taipei City Cup championship

The Taipei City Cup International E-Sports Competition will be held at WESTAR in Ximen, Taipei from now until December 1. The main event on the first day is the fighting game “Tornado 6”. In addition to Taiwan, a total of 8 players from South Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong have been invited. Players participate.

The players and corresponding countries are as follows:

Taiwan: Oil King (Wugu Oil King), GamerBee (Xiang Yulin)

Hong Kong: Hotdog29, Chris Wong

Tokyo, Japan: Mago, Itabashi Zangief

Seoul, South Korea: KR_WrestlingMan, LESHAR

In the early stage, the points system of BO3 and grab 2 was adopted. The top two with the highest points entered the championship and Asian competition, which was changed to BO5. In many duels, the two sides exhausted resources to fight to the point of life and death, or fought hard to grab the last light, resulting in a stalemate. Among them, in the penultimate matchup between Taipei and Hong Kong, when the Five Oil Kings faced off against Hotdog29, Terry, who had played the first two games, was replaced by Rashid. In the last two games, Hotdog29 changed from Vega to DeeJay. The Oil Kings played in the next game. Returning to Terry, veterans who have played against each other countless times in the past used character strategies to compete with each other, making the atmosphere even more exciting.

After 12 fierce battles between the four teams, it was a pity that Taipei and Tokyo failed to qualify for the Champions League. GamerBee and Oil King of the Taipei team said that it was a pity that they lost several games with a slight difference in blood volume. If I can still represent Taipei City Cup in the future, I will continue to work hard and leave the championship to the local team.

Itabashi Zangief of the Tokyo team said in the post-match interview: “I didn’t score points, which made MAGO angry (MAGO: I’m not angry).” Overall, it was a valuable experience; MAGO was also surprised by the idol guest before the game. After the performance session, there were still so many Kombat fans coming to the scene to cheer for the players, which made him very happy. “Although the fight was quite hard, the final showdown between Itabashi Zangief and LESHAR was very exciting, and I am very satisfied so far,”

When it comes to the Hong Kong team vs. Seoul team in the Champions League, compared to the fierce attacking style of BO3, the players have more space in BO5 to make other attempts. For example, in the second set of LESHAR’s match against Hotdog29, they especially stayed in the third place. However, Hotdog29 did not let the opponent seize the opportunity to attack and won in straight three games. In the end, the Hong Kong team won the Taipei Cup championship.

South Korean team KR_WrestlingMan replied in the post-game interview that he rarely attends offline games. Not only were the players in this Taipei City Cup very strong, but the atmosphere at the scene also made him a little nervous. He did not show his due strength and gave himself Give yourself a score of 60 points; LESHAR feels that his performance is good, but his opponent is really too strong, so he can give himself a score of 80 points. The two players also emphasized that they would definitely come back to participate in the Taipei City Cup if given the opportunity.

Chris Wong of the Hong Kong team was actually surprised to win the championship in the end. He responded modestly, “I was carried by a hot dog.” Hotdog29 said that he only scored a few points in the early stage, and it was actually Chris Wong’s credit for being able to advance to the Champions League. Hotdog29 was also humorous. Said: “I think the reason for the poor performance in the Taipei Cup last year was that I drank a lot of ice milk that morning. This year’s breakfast is egg pancakes with soy milk.” In this series of competitions, VEGA’s role may be very disadvantageous, especially LESHAR’s Ed was already the strongest Ed, but gradually he got better and better. Fortunately, he won in the end.

The next Taipei City Cup International E-sports Competition will also include the “Legend Showdown” event. Interested viewers are welcome to continue to pay attention. In addition, at the end of this month, there will be BeePro Cup, the final offline fighting game event in 2024. Registration is very active. If you haven’t purchased tickets yet, please hurry up!
