If Tang Rou's performance could be described as a flash in the pan, then Mo Fan's performance in this match was just a flash in the pan.
In the beginning, he used his shuriken to destroy the Mechanic's electronic eye, which was the first small surprise he gave everyone. Then, he ambushed Life Extinguisher, which was a small climax for everyone. Then, he suddenly found an opportunity in the midst of adversity, and made a beautiful counterattack, which was a big climax for everyone.
However, whether it was a small climax or a big climax, they were all extinguished in the blink of an eye. Mo Fan gave Xiao Shiqin some trouble, but in the end, he wasn't able to affect the entire match. In the end, in the midst of the struggle, Deception also fell. Xiao Shiqin won a 1v2, and even worse, he didn't take much damage in the first two matches. This match was slightly better. After all, Mo Fan managed to seize a few opportunities to attack. However, overall, Life Extinguisher had only lost a third of his health. To still have this kind of health after defeating two people in the group arena, his advantage could be said to be shocking.
"This contestant Mo Fan has shown us his ability, but I feel like he's still a bit lacking in crucial moments. What do you think, Coach Li? " Taking advantage of the time when Team Happy was changing contestants, they played a replay of the previous match. The screen showed the moments of Mo Fan's performance, and Pan Lin immediately commented on it.
"Indeed. In the two situations where he took the initiative, his opponent quickly turned the situation around. This contestant still has a lot of problems with his handling of the match. It can be seen that he is seriously lacking in match experience. I hope this match will bring him some growth!"
The two commented on the match, implying that they were quite optimistic about Mo Fan. However, the audience couldn't hear this. Even if they did, how could the fans of Excellent Era care? As Mo Fan walked back from the competition booth to the preparation area, he was met with wild boos. His background as a scrap picker was very annoying to the players. Now that they were booing him, they were even more confident. At the same time, they were booing Happy. How could they accept such a person? Did they have any integrity?
Mo Fan was expressionless. He turned a deaf ear to the boos directed at him and walked back to Happy's preparation area. Everyone looked at Ye Xiu to see how he was going to communicate with Mo Fan.
However, Ye Xiu did not go over or turn around. He only said, "Sometimes, it's better to keep your skills than to use them."
Mo Fan did not respond. He returned to his seat without saying a word. After a while, he suddenly uttered, "Mm."
As for the others, they all wore solemn expressions. Chen Guo had fantasized that Happy would crush Excellent Era like a hot knife through butter, but reality was cruel. After the two battles ended, Happy had already lost two people, but he only managed to take down one-third of his opponent's HP. The third contestant, Wei Chen, had an unusually stern expression on his face. He didn't say anything shameless. After nodding to the crowd, he walked towards the competitor booth.
They had lost the previous two battles so thoroughly that they didn't even have time to show the difference between their characters. Wei Chen's character, Windward Formation, was Team Happy's most well-equipped player. However, his opponent, Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher, was an All Star level character. Ignoring the quality of his Silver equipment, in terms of quantity, Windward Formation's eight pieces of equipment wasn't enough to compare to Life Extinguisher's. Life Extinguisher was equipped with 11 pieces of Silver equipment.
Chen Guo didn't have any optimism in her heart. As she watched Wei Chen walk step by step towards the competitor booth, her heart tightened.
We can't lose this battle. Old Wei, you can do it! Chen Guo silently wished him well. She watched as Wei Chen entered the competitor booth. He didn't respond to the Excellent Era fans' booing. Today, Wei Chen didn't have any other thoughts because of the severity of the situation. He didn't have the energy to be shameless.
The third round began quickly. As usual, the characters spawned. Afterwards, the two broadcasters began introducing the players.
This was already Xiao Shiqin's third time on stage, so there was no need to introduce him. Pan Lin and Li Yibo's discussion naturally focused on Wei Chen.
"Wei Chen, this player might seem unfamiliar to those who haven't been playing Glory for long, but if you have Team Blue Rain fans around you, you might as well ask them. Wei Chen was Team Blue Rain's first captain. He was a famous character in the early days of the Alliance. I'm afraid no one would have thought that he would return after so many years. In the previous matches, Wei Chen has appeared many times. Coach Li, what do you think of Wei Chen's current state? "Pan Lin said.
"After so many years, Wei Chen's style hasn't changed at all!" Li Yibo also sighed with emotion, flaunting his experience without batting an eyelid. Then, he began to comment on the current situation. "Looking at the last few matches, although he hasn't appeared in a formal match for many years, Wei Chen hasn't lost his experience and awareness. He also has the advantage of being a veteran player: his mental fortitude is extremely strong. But in terms of actual combat, I feel like the previous matches haven't tested him very well. Perhaps this match will prove his skill level. Facing a top player in the Alliance, how will Wei Chen respond? "
"Okay, let's pay attention to the match. In the opening, Xiao Shiqin still has Life Extinguisher move around strategically. As for Wei Chen's Windward Formation … well, he … turned around, but didn't leave. He stayed at his spawn point. Haha, this … this is the same style he's used in the past few matches! From the crowd, we can hear a lot of boos. It seems like the audience isn't very fond of this style of play. I'm sure that after using it a few times, Wei Chen has a clear understanding of the audience's attitude, but it seems like he's not hesitating at all! "Pan Lin explained the situation.
"Haha, this has always been Wei Chen's style. In order to win, he'll use any method." Li Yibo spoke as if he understood Wei Chen very well, once again showing off his experience.
As a result, this time Pan Lin played along: "Actually, I know that when Coach Li was still a pro player, you've played against Wei Chen before. Then from the opponent's perspective, can you analyze Wei Chen's intentions with this style of play?"
"This should be a type of psychological tactic! When a player hasn't met an opponent, not many people will guess that the opponent hasn't moved at all. If they can't find their target, it's hard to avoid feeling worried and impatient. Meanwhile, Wei Chen is waiting on the side, building up a psychological advantage. "Wei Chen said.
"But … this kind of method, wouldn't everyone notice it after watching the match recording?" Pan Lin said.
"Yeah, because it's so simple, who would think that he'd use it again and again?" Li Yibo said.
"Reverse psychology!"
"Correct." Li Yibo nodded.
"But … after the player knows of this possibility, if they don't find him, they'll probably come here to find him. That way, he won't be able to build up a psychological advantage!" Pan Lin said.
"Then what if they can't find him by the time they come here?" Li Yibo said.
"Oh …" Pan Lin suddenly understood, "In short, this is to confuse the opponent so that they can't guess his intentions!"
"And in fact, it's his intention to prevent his opponent from guessing his intentions," Li Yibo said in a roundabout way.
"Okay … now we can see that Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher is approaching the center of the map. He obviously hasn't seen Windward Formation here. Life Extinguisher seems to be a bit hesitant. It looks like Xiao Shiqin is hesitating about what to do next! "Pan Lin said.
"Because Xiao Shiqin has definitely seen Wei Chen's match recordings. He knows of this possibility, and because he knows, he's especially wary. He's not afraid that Windward Formation won't move at the spawn point. He's afraid that Wei Chen will beat him at his own game, making him think that Windward Formation isn't moving, but that he's actually moving strategically." Li Yibo said.
"But right now, it looks like Windward Formation is useless." Pan Lin said.
"But Xiao Shiqin might need to do a check." Li Yibo said.
Sure enough, Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher circled the area. After not finding an opponent, he rushed towards Windward Formation's spawn point.
"Life Extinguisher is coming. What will Wei Chen do? Will he move Windward Formation away and continue to confuse Xiao Shiqin? "Pan Lin shouted.
In fact, at this time, the scene was already filled with boos. Even the audience in front of the TV was a little impatient. Then, no one was interested in this kind of one-man show of Xiao Shiqin looking for her. Everyone was looking forward to the two sides quickly reuniting. It was hard on the commentator and guest. Everyone was getting impatient, but they still had to talk about it as if it was very exciting.
"Life Extinguisher is getting closer and closer, but Wei Chen doesn't seem to have any intention of moving Windward Formation away!" Pan Lin said as he glanced at Li Yibo. The situation wasn't quite what Li Yibo had predicted.
"This is probably a reverse psychology on top of reverse psychology. Wei Chen predicted that the opponent would guess that he would move his character away to confuse him, so he might as well leave his character here to catch them off guard. "Li Yibo said.
"Mm … this … is still possible …" Pan Lin agreed dryly. His gaze towards Li Yibo was filled with helplessness.
Reverse psychology followed by reverse psychology. Only Li Yibo could say this sort of nonsense. Pan Lin didn't know how good Li Yibo was when he was a pro player, but he was sure that Li Yibo had outstanding mental fortitude. It was impossible for him to be defeated by trash talk. This was because his skin was simply too thick.
Li Yibo analyzed Wei Chen's actions seriously. In the end, Wei Chen didn't disappoint him. With "reverse psychology followed by reverse psychology", he didn't leave.
Amidst the boos, Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher finally arrived. The two characters met face to face. Wei Chen's Windward Formation immediately launched an attack. With a wave of his hand, Chaotic Rain appeared.
