Xiao Shiqin and Qiu Fei sped up to chase after Dawn Rifle, but they weren't able to catch him fast enough. As time dragged on, they finally managed to pull away from Sun Xiang's group of three. However, Dawn Rifle was getting closer and closer. Not only that, the two characters could even see the silhouettes of other Happy characters.
Not good!
When Xiao Shiqin saw Happy's other characters appear in this direction, his heart skipped a beat. His guess was that Happy wanted to draw away their people and ambush their healer. However, the other side's current position clearly showed that they had no such intentions. Their true goal was to run faster and chase closer.
"Stop!"
Realizing that he had fallen into a trap, Xiao Shiqin subconsciously made a correction. He indicated for Qiu Fei to stop chasing and then turned to look at the distance between them and the other three characters.
"Retreat!" This distance made Xiao Shiqin feel very insecure, so he immediately had his Life Extinguisher retreat.
Qiu Fei's Combat Form clearly hesitated, but in the end, he still obeyed the command.
However, Happy's people had already appeared. How could they let them go so easily? Dawn Rifle stopped retreating and the other figures quickly became clear. They actually fanned out and surrounded Life Extinguisher and Combat Form.
There really was an ambush!
Xiao Shiqin was glad that he had reacted quickly and retreated in time. Their losses shouldn't be too great, right?
Their losses really weren't too great. Even though Happy was suppressing them fiercely, the other three characters from Excellent Era hadn't been left behind and would arrive to support them in the blink of an eye. As a result, after bullying them for a bit and seeing that Excellent Era was about to complete their rendezvous, Happy decisively retreated.
Xiao Shiqin let out a sigh of relief. He felt that their response this time was pretty good, but he didn't know that the commentator, the audience, the other pro players … besides him, pretty much everyone felt that their response was regretful.
"Why did they retreat?" Pan Lin was very puzzled.
"Excellent Era was very hesitant! Since he had already given chase, why did he choose to retreat at this time? Even though Excellent Era was a team with fewer players in the short term, with the strength of their players and characters, they didn't need to avoid this situation too much, right? If they could hold on for a bit longer, reinforcements would arrive. Happy wouldn't dare to attack too recklessly. On the contrary, it was this kind of backup plan that allowed Happy to attack without any worries! Now that they're retreating, Excellent Era doesn't have the slightest bit of continuity in their attacks! "Li Yibo said.
"Today's Excellent Era's performance was a little off," Pan Lin said.
"Is it because the competition didn't achieve the expected results? Or was it because he had never met an opponent as difficult as Happy in the Challenger League? But no matter what the reason is, the Excellent Era players shouldn't be playing without confidence … "Li Yibo only pointed out the problem. He was still thinking about the specific reason. He felt like he had vaguely grasped the answer, but what was it specifically?
"Xiao Shiqin … mistook Excellent Era for Thunder." In the end, he was still a pro player from Micrograss. At this moment, he decisively discovered the problem with Excellent Era.
"This season, he didn't train at a high level. His adjustments weren't thorough enough. When he encounters a situation where there's a lot of pressure, his subconscious response is completely the same as when he was in Team Thunder," Xu Bin said.
Speaking of Xiao Shiqin, Xu Bin still had a certain right to speak. This was because his previous team, 301 Degrees, and Xiao Shiqin's Team Thunder were both mid-tier teams. They were direct competitors. Every time, they would fight to the death for a spot at the end of the playoffs. The results of the fights between the two sides would have a large impact, so they would study each other with all their might.
"Yeah, he's currently leading Team Excellent Era. With a fierce player like Sun Xiang, there's no need for him to fight like he wants to. If I had to say, if he had let Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn charge at the front, he might have been able to scatter Happy's ambush by himself, "Liu Xiaobie said.
Everyone was talking about it, but the match didn't develop as they wanted. But at this moment, Xiao Shiqin more or less realized that something wasn't right. This was due to the communication between the Cleric player Zhang Jiaxing and him.
"Aren't we playing too passively? I feel like we can be more proactive. "Zhang Jiaxing expressed his opinion. The commander of the match was one person, but the other players naturally had the right to give suggestions. At this moment, in the starting lineup of Excellent Era, only Zhang Jiaxing was Team Excellent Era's first-string main force. The healer also happened to be a role that needed to observe the overall situation, so he keenly realized that Excellent Era's rhythm was very off today.
Xiao Shiqin was awakened from a dream by his words. He suddenly realized that his previous commander had treated Excellent Era as Thunder. In fact, this entire season, he had been constantly reminding himself to change his role. He didn't expect that when it came to a crucial match, he still couldn't skillfully assume his new role. The tactical inertia that he had honed in Thunder was too deeply ingrained in Xiao Shiqin. He needed time to get rid of it. He needed matches to get rid of it. And this entire year, he had time, but not matches. The standard of the Challenger League was simply not enough.
"You're right, we need to be more proactive!" Xiao Shiqin wasn't someone who would stubbornly insist on keeping up appearances after realizing that there was a problem. Wanting to keep up appearances was actually a common practice among powerhouses. Most of the players in small and mid-tier teams didn't have this problem, even if they were All-Stars.
Realizing the problem, Xiao Shiqin quickly made adjustments. One Leaf Of Autumn, Team Excellent Era's ace, was finally pushed to the forefront of the formation. He and Combat Form began a high-speed pursuit. Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher was in the middle, and Xiao Jian's Striker, Lian Jin, was in charge of protecting the team's healer.
"Yes, it seems like Excellent Era has already discovered the problem and quickly made adjustments," Li Yibo said happily. He wasn't happy for Excellent Era, but rather because Excellent Era's final adjustments were the most appropriate way of moving. It was rare for him to be able to show off his skill as a commentator today, making Li Yibo very proud.
Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn and Qiu Fei's Combat Form didn't hold back this time. They charged forward at full speed. Soon, Team Happy, who had just retreated, appeared in their sights.
Lord Grim!
The first to be caught was Ye Xiu, the one who had defeated Qiu Fei and Sun Xiang in the group arena. And now, the two sides met in the team competition.
Dragon Breaks the Ranks!
Dragon Breaks the Ranks!
One Leaf Of Autumn and Combat Form, the two Battle Mages of Team Excellent Era suddenly used this high-level skill together. The two characters rushed forward. It looked like they were moving together, but after they rushed out, they instantly pulled behind each other. This wasn't a spur of the moment move. It was clear that the two Battle Mages had been trained to work together. And now, they were teaming up to challenge the pinnacle of the Battle Mage class.
Boom boom boom!
Lord Grim opened his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. The tip of the umbrella spat out three missiles, sending them towards the two players who had challenged him.
This type of attack couldn't stop the momentum of Dragon Breaks the Ranks at all, but Lord Grim borrowed the recoil from the Anti-Tank Missiles to fly backwards. Then, he opened his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella above his head and opened his Rotor Wings to fly into the air. The moment he left his position, Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn had already rushed over. Seeing Lord Grim fly up, he hurriedly adjusted Evil Annihilation's direction, but it was too late. One Leaf Of Autumn rushed past and missed. Combat Form, who was a step slower, had a similar outcome. However, after two Dragon Breaks the Ranks dodged under his feet, Lord Grim, who was in midair, was blown back and forth by the wind created by the charge. The impact of One Leaf Of Autumn and Combat Form's attacks could be seen clearly.
But while he was swaying in the air, Lord Grim retracted his Rotor Wings. With a whoosh, his Tachi was unsheathed. He slanted his body in the air and used a Sword Draw, slashing towards the two characters who had just finished using their skills.
Dragon Breaks the Ranks ended extremely quickly. There was no stun. Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei both reacted extremely quickly. One Leaf Of Autumn and Combat Form jumped to the left and right respectively. The sword qi of the Sword Draw flashed between the two of them.
Falling Light Blade!
Lord Grim followed up with this skill, landing directly between the two of them. Falling Light Blade's small AoE attack was just enough to hit the two of them.
However, this amount of damage was barely enough. The two characters retreated slightly and were already out of the attack range. Then, two spears lit up, crossing at an angle and thrusting towards Lord Grim.
Slide Kick!
After Lord Grim's Falling Light Blade landed, he didn't stop and immediately used a Slide Kick to escape. This was a combination of skills that could be used across classes. This was the greatest characteristic of an unspecialized character. After Excellent Era realized that they would be facing Ye Xiu's unspecialized character, they had specially trained for this class. Team Excellent Era's players weren't unfamiliar with the unspecialized character's skill list. They completely understood it as the 25th class.
However, even though they were familiar with the unspecialized character's skill system, how Ye Xiu would use these skills was something that even Team Excellent Era, who were most familiar with Ye Xiu, couldn't predict. In Excellent Era, Ye Xiu's main contribution was his Battle Mage skill. On an unspecialized character, it was only 1/24 of his battle strength. With Ye Xiu's class change, Excellent Era's familiarity with him became very small.
Slide Kick after Falling Light Blade?
Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei's reactions were extremely fast, but in the end, they were still half a beat too late. The spears of the two characters weren't able to suppress Lord Grim.
After slipping away with a Slide Kick, Lord Grim threw a Frag Grenade at him. One Leaf Of Autumn and Qiu Fei once again jumped to the left and right. The light of the explosion flashed between the two characters. One Leaf Of Autumn and Combat Form turned around to give chase, but when they took two steps forward, they saw a cloud of purple mist rise up. They had actually stepped on a Poison Cloud Trap. When Lord Grim had set this trap, the two of them hadn't noticed at all.
The crowd was in an uproar. Originally, everyone thought that Ye Xiu's Lord Grim would quickly find an opportunity to escape, but now, it seemed that this guy was actually going for a 1v2!
However, from their omniscient view, the audience knew that Team Happy's other characters were really jumping back towards Excellent Era to ambush their Cleric.
