Review of China and Europe
For Chinese Hearthstone players, the first two China and Europe confrontations are like two scars in everyone's heart. Even ifNo matter how long time passes, I always feel mixed feelings when I think about it. Now, the third Hearthstone China-Europe Confrontation is about to begin. Can Chinese players avenge their previous shame or let their opponents sprinkle salt on their wounds?
Previous results of Hearthstone China-Europe battle
0:4 Falling to look back
As the region with the largest number of Hearthstone players in the world, China has more than 20 million Hearthstone players. When facing the Asian e-sports power South Korea and the world's TCG game power Japan, Chinese players have excellent results and have achieved brilliant results in "Seven Swords Going to the Tianshan Mountains" - seven Chinese players "beat" up" South Korea's top players.
However, in the international arena, Chinese players have a sad place that cannot be touched, that is, the China-Europe Confrontation. At the end of April 2014, in the first China-Europe Confrontation, the Chinese team was swept 0:4 with a total score, which even caused the anger of NetEase President Ding Lei. He invested privately to purchase a Ferrari sports car worth millions as a reward to reward Chinese players who won the championship in the China-Europe Confrontation.
Hearthstone China-European battle record 2
Lost the winner and missed the final
2015 was once a year of high expectations for Hearthstone. Chinese Hearthstone players Xiaoyu Yuda Xian went out to Europe and won the 2015 DreamHack Summer Championship. Chinese players ranked first in the GosuGamers rankings for the first time.
The Chinese players then defeated all the strong enemies first in the Hearthstone China-Japan Arena and Southeast Asia Challenge, and established strong confidence. The eight Chinese players came to the top players in the 2015 Gold Open and passed the layers of screening in the Gold Finals. However, in the final semifinals, Kolento faces the Sleepy Shaman, and the Little Fish and Big Immortal faces Hawkeve. Although the two Chinese players carried the expectations of many Chinese players, their luck seemed to be a little bad, and they lost and missed the final. The final battle started between two European players. The red Ferrari sports car prepared by Mr. Ding also slowly left the scene amid the grievances of "It's a pity that it's not you". It extinguished Hearthstone fans' fantasies about Ferrari sports cars.

The Chinese team vowed to take Ferrari for revenge
Now, a new round of China-Europe Challenge is about to begin! It has nothing to do with life and death, but it has to do with honor. The Hearthstone China-Europe Confrontation is no longer an ordinary match in a simple sense. No matter which side has an extremely longing for victory.
From the lineup of European players, the European team has sent almost all its main players, and it can be said that each of them is in the European server and even the World Hearthstone CircleEach of the most influential figures in the world has the strength of a world championship. Compared with the star-studded European team, the Chinese team is holding their breath and trying to complete revenge in this competition.
It is not difficult to find in previous interviews with several Chinese players that Chinese professional players also had great expectations for this competition. The Chinese representative player, the Golden Finals champion "Good Student Zhang Bo", even boasted that he would defeat the last Chinese European Championship K God in the game: "Although we have some gaps with the European team in historical record, that's nothing. Everything is possible in Hearthstone. My goal is to kill K God, which is also my greatest respect for him."
In this China-Europe Trial, the Golden Super League Spring Championship champion CLBreath is also full of fighting spirit: "Although European players are strong, we will still win the championship and drive Ferrari away." When he heard that some European players said that the purpose of coming to China was to prevent Chinese players from driving away Ferrari, he replied: "They had stopped us once last year, so don't think too much this year, we will definitely drive away Ferrari!"
Although there are many difficulties, Chinese players have made great progress and growth through more than a year of hard training and competition competitions. I hope that this time the Chinese players can avenge their previous shame and win Ferrari for glory!
