As Sun Xiang typed out these words, his character didn't stop. After Dragon Breaks the Ranks, One Leaf Of Autumn swept his spear and used Tyrant's Destruction. When Lord Grim dodged Dragon Breaks the Ranks, he had already pulled away. At this moment, it looked like he was already outside of Tyrant's Destruction's attack range. It seemed like this was a good opportunity to counterattack. However, Lord Grim's retreating footsteps didn't stop. Just as he took a step forward, the dirt on the ground rose up. Originally, Tyrant's Destruction shouldn't have been in range, but because of this attack's qi, the ground was swept away.
"Oh oh, this is Evil Annihilation's special effect, Landslide. It extends the attack range. However, our opponent is Ye Xiu. He obviously knows this better than anyone else, so everyone, look at him. When he dodged, he even took the range of Landslide into account."
"In reality, the probability of this type of weapon having an effect isn't very high, but in a real battle, it's better to believe that it exists than not," Li Yibo sighed.
Boom!
The two were still talking about Tyrant's Destruction, when the battle suddenly exploded.
While retreating and dodging, Lord Grim quietly threw out a grenade. Pan Lin and Li Yibo didn't notice it at all. It wasn't until the grenade exploded that everyone let out a gasp of surprise.
His covert actions had fooled everyone, but he had not fooled his opponent, Sun Xiang. One Leaf Of Autumn had clearly made a sudden stop in his pursuit, waiting for this grenade to explode. The timing was perfect. Even though it looked like he had passed through the explosion, he had perfectly avoided the damage. His Evil Annihilation still didn't leave Lord Grim's side.
"Sun Xiang is actively attacking, but Ye Xiu doesn't seem like he wants to fight head-on like this," Pan Lin shouted.
"That's natural. An old general's advantage is experience. Against a young opponent, especially a top player like Sun Xiang, he needs to play to his advantage. Fighting head-on is … is …" Li Yibo couldn't continue because Pan Lin had only said "seems like it". This was his guess when Lord Grim had tried to pull away. But now, Lord Grim opened his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and used an attack on One Leaf Of Autumn. This was a true head-on clash.
"Not bad!" In a head-on clash, Sun Xiang still had time to type. One Leaf Of Autumn stepped to the side and used a Sky Strike from the side.
Lord Grim didn't even turn his head. As he jumped back, he pulled out his sword from the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, dodging the Sky Strike and using a Collapsing Mountain.
"Ah, a Collapsing Mountain in place. This is a move that uses a backwards jump to cancel out the forward jump of a Collapsing Mountain. Ye Xiu can do it so easily. It's clear that he's very familiar with Glory. The title of Glory Textbook isn't just for show, "Pan Lin shouted.
One Leaf Of Autumn turned and continued to use the half-used Sky Strike to block Lord Grim's Collapsing Mountain. However, Collapsing Mountain's priority was much higher than Sky Strike's. Sky Strike alone wouldn't be able to complete this parry. However, One Leaf Of Autumn had already jumped back and completely dodged the Collapsing Mountain.
"One Leaf Of Autumn dodged … … but what's the meaning of this Sky Strike parry, Coach Li?" Pan Lin asked.
"Haha, it doesn't have any practical meaning. It's just a habit of pro players. It helps them get into the zone faster," Li Yibo said.
"I can't listen to this anymore!" In the audience, Micrograss's player Liu Xiaobie was still watching the match on his phone while listening to the commentary. However, this time, he dropped his earphones again.
"What now?" Xu Bin asked.
"I'm saying that One Leaf Of Autumn's Sky Strike just then was meaningless," Liu Xiaobie said.
"Oh? No way. If he hadn't used Sky Strike to parry, then he wouldn't have been able to dodge that Collapsing Mountain, "Xu Bin said.
"The parry of Sky Strike slightly slowed down the speed of Collapsing Mountain. At the same time, he borrowed the force to accelerate his jump back," Gao Yingjie said.
"The commentary these days is becoming more and more amateurish." Liu Xiaobie shook his head while putting his earphones back into his ears. Xu Bin and Gao Yingjie were speechless.
The battle onstage continued.
No one was able to completely gain the upper hand. Even though both sides took damage, it was all an exchange within their control. No one took a fatal blow. Exquisite maneuvers like Sky Strike parry and Collapsing Mountain appeared one after another in this match. The audience members, such as Micrograss's three pro players, were enjoying themselves greatly. However, the viewers in front of their televisions were pitiful. Pan Lin and Li Yibo were only able to understand about 70% of the intricacies of these moves. The other 20% were interpreted incorrectly. This was probably one of the problems caused by the Glory Pro Alliance's late start and rapid development: the lack of high-level professionals.
Even though they missed out on many of the intricacies of this match, it didn't affect the audience's enjoyment of this match. This sort of dazzling exchange of attacks was the type of match that the audience liked the most.
However, Tao Xuan, who was sitting in Excellent Era's player area, was a bit restless. To be honest, he also liked this sort of exciting match. This sort of beautiful match was his greatest wish for Excellent Era. However … it definitely wouldn't appear at this time. Who was Sun Xiang's opponent? Ye Xiu! Because of his declining condition and poor performance, Sun Xiang had replaced him. In order to smoothly complete this transition, who knew how much effort Tao Xuan had put into it. But now, Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang were evenly matched? This was already a slap to Excellent Era's face. And from the looks of it, it was hard to say who would win. Even though Lord Grim was fighting with 70% of his health, he was one step behind from the start. But this sort of evenly matched situation wouldn't last until the end of the match. There would always be twists and turns in the middle, especially when Ye Xiu was already behind. How could he slowly trade health until he died?
Tao Xuan was uneasy. Even though he kept telling himself that One Leaf Of Autumn was stronger and that Sun Xiang was younger and had more explosive power, he still couldn't find the confidence to face Ye Xiu.
"The two sides are evenly matched," Pan Lin commented.
"Uh, I feel like Lord Grim has a slight advantage," Li Yibo said.
"What do you mean?" Pan Lin didn't understand.
"Because there's a difference in strength between the two characters. Even though the Level 75 Orange equipment helped Happy close the gap between Excellent Era's skill level, this gap is only in terms of basic stats. If you really want to add in the details, Orange equipment can't be as perfect as Silver equipment, "Li Yibo said.
"But we can see that Team Happy actually has some Silver equipment, especially Wei Chen's Warlock Windward Formation. He has as many as 8 pieces of Silver equipment, which is already at the pro level," Pan Lin said.
"Haha, Silver equipment can't be measured by quantity. What's the biggest advantage of Silver equipment? It's tailor-made. When a piece of Silver equipment satisfies a player's skill level and needs, then its usefulness will be magnified. On the other hand, if a piece of Silver equipment isn't tailor-made and only focuses on stats, then it will be stronger than Orange equipment of the same level, but it will lose its biggest advantage. Some players like to attack faster, while others like to have more damage when they land a hit. If you give a player who likes speed a piece of Strength equipment, the equipment itself will be very strong, but if it doesn't suit his style, how much of the Strength attribute will be used? "Li Yibo spoke frankly.
"I understand. You're saying that Team Happy's Silver equipment might not be able to reach this level of absolute compatibility," Pan Lin said.
"Haha, first of all, Team Happy doesn't have enough Silver equipment. Secondly, we don't know where Team Happy's Silver equipment came from, but I don't think there's a technical team at the level of Team Excellent Era, right? So they probably don't have much room to choose from. If they have Silver equipment, then use it. If they don't have room to choose, then it's very difficult to reach perfection! "Li Yibo sighed.
"Coach Li is right. It looks like Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was able to fight Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn to a standstill. I didn't expect him to still have this kind of skill, "Pan Lin said.
"When it comes to competitions, it's all about performance. Sometimes we say that a player's condition is declining, but this isn't a conclusion that can be drawn from one or two matches, but rather from the audience's performance over a long period of time. In the next stage, he might have a very outstanding performance. Everyone would have such ups and downs, and one performance in a match wouldn't be able to prove anything. Zhou Zekai also lost to others in the individual competition, but can we say that the opponent who won against him was the Alliance's number one pro player? "Li Yibo laughed.
"I understand what you mean." Pan Lin nodded.
"Okay, let's continue to pay attention to the competition. It's still hard to tell who's better. Both sides have lost about 20% of their health, but because Lord Grim only has 70% health, he's currently lagging behind. Hey, Coach Li, do you think Ye Xiu will withdraw from the battle and find a place to recover his health and mana? "Pan Lin suddenly had a question.
"This, I don't think Sun Xiang will give him a chance. If he let his opponent recover so easily, then I'm afraid I'll be able to beat him."
"Hahahaha." The two laughed together in the broadcast.
At this moment, Sun Xiang suddenly typed in the chat: "I say, shouldn't we speed it up?"
"Speed it up?" Pan Lin cried out in surprise, "Could it be that Sun Xiang wasn't using his full strength before?"
"This ….. He should be purposely suppressing the rhythm, and then using a sudden speed up to disrupt his opponent's response!" Li Yibo said.
"Speaking of which, in today's match, the two sides seem to have a lot of communication!" Pan Lin said.
"Yeah, Sun Xiang has never been a player who talks too much in a match! This match was a bit surprising. It seems like Ye Xiu is a different opponent for Excellent Era. The conversation between the old and new captains. Sun Xiang probably wants to use this victory to prove to everyone that he can do better than Ye Xiu! "Li Yibo said.
"So, is he going to speed it up now?" Pan Lin said in an expectant tone.
