"Uh, if we kill him in one wave, does Life Extinguisher have enough mana?" Pan Lin raised a question. It was a question that everyone was concerned about. Life Extinguisher didn't have much mana left, especially when he had squandered it to escape from Death's Door. It seemed like he could run out at any moment.
Li Yibo didn't immediately reply. After a moment of careful observation, he finally opened his mouth: "Xiao Shiqin is using a lot of normal attacks to link up and suppress his opponent. He's playing very carefully."
"From the current ratio of mana consumption …" Pan Lin looked at Life Extinguisher's mana consumption and Windward Formation's health loss and couldn't figure it out.
Li Yibo didn't reply again, but this time, no matter how carefully he observed, he still couldn't figure it out. In his opinion, he definitely didn't have enough mana, but Life Extinguisher's attack rhythm was very complete. Now that he suddenly ran out of mana, he felt like something like this shouldn't happen to a top-tier pro player.
Li Yibo had often dug a hole for himself, but if he could avoid it, he would do so. Right now, he didn't dare to make any rash conclusions. He knew very well that a player of Xiao Shiqin's level wasn't someone he could completely understand.
Life Extinguisher's attacks continued, but many people had already forgotten to look at the battle screen. They just stared at Life Extinguisher's mana bar, wanting to see when that light blue mana that contained his character's battle strength would reach its end.
No, it never did!
Life Extinguisher miraculously continued his attacks. His attacks were very conservative, unlike the previous two battles, especially the battle against Deception, where he had used a large AOE. If the battle with Deception could be described as an explosion, then Life Extinguisher's attacks were more like a train. One section after another, it passed by you with incomparable clarity. Every section completed their mission, not missing a single time.
"Very efficient attacks …" Pan Lin, who had been silent for a long time, finally said this.
"Yes." Li Yibo nodded. Up until now, none of Life Extinguisher's attacks had missed. Every attack had achieved the desired effect. This was simply unimaginable in a pro match. The opponent wasn't a dead person, after all.
But right now, Windward Formation was like a dead man, completely suppressed.
"Wei Chen … has fallen into a trap," Li Yibo suddenly said.
"Ah?"
"Xiao Shiqin is now using the terrain to his advantage. Everything that Wei Chen relied on before has now become a trap. Look …" Li Yibo described the battle that had just ended. Windward Formation had tried to circle around a corner to dodge the attack, but as soon as he turned around, a Bouncing Grenade suddenly exploded. Windward Formation was pincered from the front and back, so he couldn't dodge any of the attacks.
"When was this bouncing mine placed?" Pan Lin suddenly shouted, "Ever since Xiao Shiqin started his attack, Life Extinguisher hasn't been here."
"Before?" Li Yibo said.
"Before …" Pan Lin suddenly had a vague impression, "I think he came here before, but at that time …"
"At that time, when Windward Formation was using the terrain to suppress him," Li Yibo said.
Pan Lin was shocked. Completely and truly shocked. He had even forgotten that he was still in the middle of a live broadcast. He couldn't use words to describe the shock in his heart. Xiao Shiqin had actually placed down a Bouncing Grenade at that moment. This meant that he had already planned this attack from that moment on.
It wasn't that Xiao Shiqin hadn't noticed Wei Chen's deep use of the terrain. He had just beaten him at his own game, using himself as an experiment to probe out all of Wei Chen's moves. As for him, he had already made a plan for his counterattack at that time. Every attack he made now was precisely calculated. This was why his attacks were so efficient.
Master Tactician Xiao Shiqin. Only now did his foundation in Glory truly reveal itself. Instead, he used what Wei Chen relied on to toy with this sly old general in the palm of his hand. The following attacks all followed a set pattern. Every attack forced Wei Chen to respond with no other choice. And in these responses, there was a chain of attacks that made it even more difficult for him to deal with. As a result, normal attacks became Windward Formation's main DPS method. This could be seen very clearly in the system statistics.
In the effective damage dealt to Windward Formation, normal attacks accounted for 41.12% of the total damage dealt. This was an extremely unusual situation. As a result, the broadcast specially cut to a close-up of the statistics for the players to see.
There were no more explosions, no more mistakes.
Xiao Shiqin's movements were truly like a Mechanic's, accurate and efficient.
Excellent Era won. Xiao Shiqin completed a 1v3, giving Excellent Era a perfect start to the group arena. Excellent Era's fans were so excited that they couldn't control themselves. The noise they made drowned out everything else. Even if it was mouth-to-ear communication, it still had to be done by yelling.
It was easy to imagine what kind of treatment Wei Chen would receive in this situation. But he didn't care about this. When he returned to Happy's table, his expression was extremely serious. So serious that Chen Guo almost didn't recognize him. His face was filled with disappointment and worry. He was disappointed in this result and worried about how the match would go. How could this be the shameless Wei Chen that everyone was familiar with?
"Xiao Shiqin has completed a 1v3. We can pretty much say that Excellent Era's victory in the group arena is set. Now, it's just a matter of how many points they'll get."
"Yes, because of the new headcount system, even with such a huge lead, the leading side won't relax at all. Of course, Happy, who is behind, won't relax either. So, who will Team Happy send out next? "
The camera pointed to Team Happy's table. The person who stood up was extremely unfamiliar to the camera. Before this, he had never appeared on camera and refused any interviews. But this time, after his comeback, he didn't seem to be so resistant to all of this.
"It's Ye Qiu!!" Even if Pan Lin didn't recognize him, he knew who he was from the list of players sent out by the tournament. "He should be called Ye Xiu now, but just changing his name doesn't erase anything. Team Happy's fourth player is Excellent Era's former captain, the creator of the first dynasty team in Glory history, God Ye Qiu. After he announced his retirement, he suddenly formed a Team Happy to return to the Glory scene. Starting from the Challenger League, he has brought us countless surprises. And now, he and his team have reached the end of the Challenger League. And the one standing in front of him is his former team, the team that won him countless honors and cheers. Now, Ye Xiu is going to represent Team Happy. Team Happy's opening in the group arena was extremely unfavorable. Team Excellent Era resolutely brought in God Xiao Shiqin when they were relegated, and he fully displayed his value in the group arena. Right now, even though his character's mana was pretty much depleted, I don't think he'll just quit the match so easily. In the last match, Xiao Shiqin used what little mana he had left and used normal attacks to deal nearly 50% of his damage, winning the final victory. This match, against Ye Xiu, how will he perform? "As soon as he saw Ye Xiu appear, commentator Pan Lin was instantly excited. Why is this year's Challenger League finals receiving so much attention? Isn't it because of this moment?
"Ye Xiu walked towards the player booth. It's very difficult to communicate in the stadium. If I take off my headphones, all I can hear is boos. Yes, boos. The audience in the stadium booed Ye Xiu loudly. In reality, many people didn't want to see the following match, especially the Excellent Era fans. These boos represented their protest. The hero of the past had now become the enemy on the battlefield. This was the cruelty of pro matches. As for Ye Qiu, he once carried too much from Team Excellent Era. His hostility is hard for many players to accept. We can understand how they feel. But a match is a match. No matter what, we still look forward to the next match being exciting. "
"Alright, now Ye Xiu has entered the player booth. Both characters are loading in. The match is about to begin. From the character information on the screen, you can see that Life Extinguisher really doesn't have much mana left. If he can still kill his opponent like this, then his normal attacks should account for more than 95% of his DPS, right? "
From the moment Ye Xiu stood up, Pan Lin had been extremely excited. As Ye Xiu walked to the player booth, Pan Lin had been yelling non-stop. Only now did Li Yibo show some signs of speaking.
"Haha, there's no point in calculating this. Life Extinguisher doesn't have enough mana left to continue his offense. Even in the last match, even though normal attacks accounted for a large portion of his damage, the ones that truly suppressed and controlled Windward Formation were still skills. With Life Extinguisher's current mana, there's no suspense in this match. Let's just look forward to the conversation these two will leave behind! "Li Yibo said.
Conversation?
No conversation.
When the fourth round of the group arena began, Xiao Shiqin finally stopped moving strategically. Instead, he directly moved Life Extinguisher to the center of the map, directly facing Lord Grim. The two sides clashed without any hesitation. Life Extinguisher's mana was indeed not enough to sustain any sort of battle. After a few quick exchanges, Life Extinguisher ran out of mana. Then, he used the most straightforward method to end the match: after saying "GG" in the public chat, he directly quit the match. (GG is a polite esports term, meaning good game. Let me popularize it for those who don't know.)
Quitting and admitting defeat had always been a permitted method in esports. Glory was no exception. Xiao Shiqin decisively quit the match when Life Extinguisher ran out of mana but still had some health left. No one in the stadium expressed any regret. Instead, they gave him a warm round of applause.
To this, Excellent Era's boss, Tao Xuan, let out a satisfied smile. He stood up and applauded. He was extremely supportive of Xiao Shiqin's decision to quit the match.
Continuing to fight and wear down the opponent was fine. However, to be so calculative and calculative when they had such an advantage really wasn't the style of a former dynasty team. Tao Xuan was very pleased that Xiao Shiqin didn't bring his habits from his previous team to Excellent Era. That sort of calculative and calculative style wasn't suited for Excellent Era, and it was even more unsuitable for such an opponent. Tao Xuan was very satisfied with Xiao Shiqin's performance. Xiao Shiqin had integrated himself into the team and was fully equipped with the style that a member of the team should have.
At this moment, Team Excellent Era's second player stood up. It was a youth that many people found unfamiliar. Amidst the cheers for Xiao Shiqin, he silently walked towards Excellent Era's player booth.
