Rome has been the capital of Italy since ancient times. This city has its own unique iron-blooded romance, which has left too many legends.

Wide-blade sword, edge shield, iron army conquering Europe, gladiator, Caesar, Croatians, generations of godfathers, death game...

It was not the first time that Yang Hai came to the Apennines sky. The last time he was in Santa Fe was an unforgettable trip. Then from the moment he got off the plane, he felt the uniqueness of the city of Rome.

"I feel this way, maybe because I am a professional player." Yang Hai breathed the air of the Apennine Peninsula, and the hustle and bustle in the listener's ears left the exit of the airport, looking at the City of Caesars.

Rome's position in the history of modern games is very, very special.

Very, very special.

If this is a long story, I'm afraid it will start with the Crotto party.

The Croto Party was formed by the merger of the Saltus Party, the Etruscan Party and the Sicily Party more than 700 years ago. These three parties have a common predecessor, that is, the famous Black (Harmony) Tribe. The Croto Party is the only Black (Harmony) society that has survived under the federal system so far, thanks to the merger of the three parties of Saltus, the Etruria and Sicily.

Just as all the great scientific discoveries—radium, gravity, etc.— all originated from an accident, because of a large-scale drunkenness of the Academy of Sciences, the source program of the federal central processing unit was born.

The powerful monitoring power of the central processor has almost exterminated the foundation of the existence of black (harmonious) society, but it still leaves a gap.

This gap is called the Death Game.

For some reason, the death game is not a crime in the calculation of the federal central processor. The government certainly wants to modify the vulnerability, but no one knows how to crack the source program of this fair processor.

Just for this reason, the Crotto Party was born.

What is a death game? Death game is a gamble, and the bet is the life of both parties. The winner can not only take back his own life as the bet, but also take away the life of the opponent as the bet. For professional players of WGA, the death game is far away, but for professional players of the Croto Party, the death game is more common.

Professional players have very high status and prestige within the Croto Party.

When someone violates the party rules and needs to be executed, a one-sided death game will be played - if the sinner loses, he will die; if the sinner wins, his opponent will not pay the price of his life. This is the one-sided death game.

Of course, it is impossible for the government to recognize such practices. The game of death is essentially contrary to the humanitarian spirit and is extremely bloody and cruel in the scene. The government certainly believes that the criminals should be judged by themselves, rather than the so-called game of death.

Among the three parties, the Saltus Party was originally formed by professional Italian players, not a simple black (harmonious) society. They joined the Saltus Party with a black background because they were dissatisfied with WGA's high taxes, which brought qualitative changes to this party. The Etruscan Party and the Sicilian Party are purely black (harmonious) society in the traditional sense.

However, to this day, the Croto Party is no longer just a fruitful black (harmonious) society. The Croto Party members call themselves the true heir to the spirit of the game. They are extremely disdainful of the WGA officials and mocking the professional players of Croto as the golden-wire bird locked in a cage and are "the hawk or dog of the court."

The Crotos despise authority, have fierce personalities, strong fighting spirit, and never give up. As a value, Croto's spirit has even been recognized and praised by game fans in the game world, and is full of passion and respect. This is incredible for a black (harmonious) society.

There are very few professional Italian players who join WGA, and they are basically all loyally surrounded by Croto. In the world game map, only Italy belongs to Croto, and other countries can be said to be all WGA. But in this case, the Croto Party has a corner of Italy and is competing with the heroes of the world without losing the upper hand. It is really respectful. Italy is called the kingdom of games. This country is an unparalleled country to the game world. Italy has the best youth training system in the world, just like Brazilians are born to play football and French are born to pick up girls. Every Italian child has grown up in the game since childhood. While immersing in the unparalleled happiness brought by the game, they are influenced and influenced by Croto's spirit, becoming fierce, tenacious, and proud.

The best professional player of this era is Italian, and the god of war Visconti is also Italian - King No is a Chinese, but when he was six years old, he was taken to the Apennine Peninsula by an Italian named Kasheno and carefully trained, and then he began his path to King No.

Although WGA never admits it, every game fan who truly understands the history of the game understands what this nation with the blood of an arena, the blood of gladiators, and the blood of Caesar means to the game world.

Italy made Croto, and Croto made Italy too.

In the official ranking, Sweden is stronger than Italy, but everyone knows that it is a fig leaf hung by the bureaucrats of WGA, and that's all.

Some people may find it strange. If that is the case, why did the WGA draft be held in Rome? Because the establishment of the Apennines was already in place before the establishment of the Croto Party, this is a tradition. All European professional young players will come to Rome to conduct the draft. Although the entire Italy later fell into the control of the Croto Party, this tradition was still preserved. For the Italians, they did not resist the draft be held in Rome.

Although WGA is Croto's mortal enemy, when excellent professional players appear, Italians will cheer for them - in the name of games. In the eyes of Italians, these young people are the hope of the future of the game industry. They should and must be treated fairly and cannot threaten and intimidate them because of the camp. In Italy and Croto, professional players have a high status, especially these young people. Who knows whether they will become the second king in the future?

Italians spare no effort to support and protect their younger generations. It is precisely because of this that the emergence of Italian talents has made other countries ashamed.

Do you find it incredible?

But, this is Italy.

There is the most fanatical game atmosphere here, the most knowledgeable game fans, the most luxurious and advanced arena, the latest and most unique game tactics - of course, there are also a group of black-hearted black-py black-black Crottos.

Yang Hai has been famous for all his own half of his motherland.

The last time in Santa Fe, game fans from all over the world gathered together, and it looked more like a hodgepodge of a country. I couldn't see it clearly. Now... I can enjoy it myself.

This time, Yang Hai didn't bring anything except the *** cards of the three major banks, so it was extremely relaxed among a group of people carrying luggage of all sizes. Standing in the square, Yang Hai looked around and it didn't seem to be much different from Berlin... But for some reason, the air respirator here felt comfortable.

Yang Hai looked from a distance and saw a very tall building over there. It was very unique in shape and looked like it was moved from a comic to reality. It was very eye-catching among a group of well-behaved buildings. He called out a service v3 robot and asked what the building was for.

The robot answered his question in a polite and emotional voice: "Hello, sir, that building is the Roman Center for Game Tactics Research."

Watching the robot go away, Yang Hai looked at the building again.

Game Tactics Research Center?

Although Yang Hai didn't know whether it was necessary to build such a magnificent building to study a game tactic, suddenly, he felt that perhaps the city was indeed different from Berlin.

This is Rome, the capital of Italy, the country of game, and it is a game city.

--------

Yang Hai felt a little hungry, so he went directly to the bank at the airport to withdraw some cash, and then took the taxi in the air to ask the driver to take him to a more authentic local restaurant. He wanted to try the legendary authentic pasta.

The driver took him to drive for about twenty-five minutes, and stopped at a small inconspicuous restaurant not far away. Yang Hai paid for the bus and walked in.

Italy is rich in beauties, and food and professional players are famous for their reputation. How can you not experience it when you come here?

The restaurant layout is very modern, the restaurant is bright and spacious, and the decoration is very metallic. It is almost noon, and many people have lunch in this restaurant, which makes the restaurant a little crowded. Yang Hai feels that there are so many people in such a remote place. It should be because the wine is fragrant and the alley is deep. It seems that the taxi driver did not fool me.

There is a game playing on the big screen in the restaurant, and many people are watching the game.

Yang Hai looked around and found that there was no one sitting in the seat opposite a woman by the window, so he walked over and asked, "Can I sit here?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and nodded.

The woman wore a large sunglasses, covering half of her face, and she didn't see clearly. However, her skin was very good, and the sunlight outside the window shone in, making her skin look more and more shattered. The woman had chestnut hair, which was slightly curled down like a waterfall. She lowered her head and took a sip of the cocktail, then turned her head to watch the game.

Yang Hai ordered a standard pasta, a fruit salad and a beer to the waiter, and also looked at the big screen.

Yang Hai was really surprised when he saw the game on the screen.

If this competition wasn't in Italy, it would have been difficult to see...

This is a match between the Croto Party, and two teams are fighting. He looked at the notes below. This is a match between the shz team and the mure team.

In Italy, gambling is legal. Croto does not have a league, and their professional players all form teams by themselves and look for games to play. Some bosses sometimes find it very easy to resolve commercial disputes, and each invites a team to play a game, and the result shows everything. This phenomenon is only possible in Italy's game countries, so don't think about other countries.

These two teams play a bet match, not a bet match to resolve disputes, but a pure bet match. The screen shows the bets on both sides. Judging from the bets, shz has a slight advantage. The people who bought them and won a total of 3.07 million federal shields, while the other side is not much different, more than 3.01 million. This kind of game is bets. You can beat them and tell them how much they want to make. After the voice characteristics are confirmed, the money will be directly deducted from the Federal Personal Center account and returned according to the results after the game is over.

Yang Hai was interested in playing two games, but the game had already begun, so he naturally could not place bets.

This is a team battle, the game content is "Thirteen:25", a mecha war.

Yang Hai watched the game with a relaxed attitude, but after a few glances, his expression became serious.

These players...these ids...

Yang Hai didn't know any of these ids.

But it was because of this that he was surprised.

Yang Hai had never heard of these people, which shows that these people are not famous characters in the game industry. However, after watching for two minutes, he found that although these people are not strong, each of them is not weak. This is because Yang Hai doesn't understand the situation. In fact, in Italy, the shz team and the mure team are both relatively famous teams, and their players cannot be considered parallel products, but they are not famous internationally.

Yang Hai found that everyone on the field had excellent tactical qualities. These people had a strong sense of position. They fought back and forth, and their tactics were organized, just like two precision machines working. This is very difficult. You should know that only players with high game IQ can show such an excellent sense of position. These people may not be able to stand alone, but being a character player is definitely enough.

Yang Hai suddenly remembered the No. 3 player with the e-type vacancy - I wonder if I could find a suitable candidate in Italy. Even if I was not as powerful as Godlike, if I could find a good character player like these people, it would not be unacceptable to find a good player.

Yang Hai became a little addicted as he looked at it. To be honest, both sides are not strong and there is no superstar who can decide the game, but each of them has a clear tactical intention in every move. Such a game also has a different kind of pleasing to the eye. As a professional player from IEC, Yang Hai is more surprised and more surprised the more he watches. The players of both sides have reached a certain level of understanding of the game, and they cooperate with each other. Not to mention anything else, why haven’t you heard of this group of professional players with such high IQ before?

By the way... Cloto!

Yang Hai was a little confused about why.

These *** are all from the Croto Party.

But what made Yang Hai a little puzzled was that he was interested in watching because he could understand the tactics of both sides, and the uncles and beauties who were eating in the restaurant were also having fun watching. Can you understand this level of competition?

Battles at this level of tactical level are very boring for ordinary game fans. Ordinary game fans prefer to watch superstar flashes rather than such meticulous tactics.

What surprised Yang Hai even more was that as the tactical confrontation between the two sides became more and more intense, some game fans began to discuss it.

A big belly and blushed uncle pointed to the screen and said, "Shz people should be careful. The little move of the fifth position of Mure just now... Tsk tsk... cunning little guy, haha. The move of the fifth position of Mure just now may mean that they have to change this targeted tactic and drag the game back, but they were raided once by Shiz and temporarily suppressed."

Yang Hai swallowed the beer and looked at the big-bellied uncle in surprise.

No matter how you look at it, you are an ordinary person. But this uncle spoke No. 5 and kept saying that he was commenting in a professional tone. Although his opinion was a little narrow and lacked a view of the overall situation, it was already very rare.

What surprised Yang Hai even more was that a child next to the uncle who looked only seven or eight years old said angrily: "No, it's not just a delay, but there should be other ideas. I think it may be that No. 5 wants to play a position with No. 3 and take advantage of the situation to fight back. Unfortunately, the best time was missed, and this position could not be played."

Yang Hai looked at the child with wide eyes.

One of the benefits of wearing sunglasses is that you can stare at others unscrupulously and will not be discovered. Of course, sometimes you need to look at them sideways. This... How old is this child? Can you see so many things?

People who were dining around had a discussion on this issue.

"Is the misalignment tactic? Not like it..."

"It is also possible. Although this kind of transposition may lead to the loss of No. 4, it is also possible to reverse the situation first and then make up for defense."

"It's hard to say... This approach is a bit risky. It's better to take rotation, and it's safer to find a strong point... After all, the No. 2 position of Mure is still a stronger point."

"The strong point cannot be supported, and it will not work. Mure's second position is not Visconti. If you don't change positions at this time, will you wait until something goes wrong?"

"It's better to rotate. Under the cover of No. 4, take turns to attack, and the efficiency is not explained."

...

Yang Hai looked at the people discussing the situation, including adults, children, and even an old woman who put forward insightful insights.

In addition to being shocked, Yang Hai suddenly understood what Italy is and what the country of games is.

Game fans in this country are so unique.

They are simply the most familiar game fans in the world, and even the analysis competitions are professional. Yang Hai suddenly understood why the game being played on the screen has no explanation at all. Everything comes from demand. Italian game fans do not need explanation. They have their own insightful insights into the game.
