From the spectators' omniscient view, everything was much clearer than what the players could see.
The ten characters that had been scattered all over the map suddenly converged in a common direction after the gunshot. In the blink of an eye, many spots on the map exploded, and contact battles broke out everywhere. At this point, the spectators suddenly realized that Team Tyranny's strategy didn't seem to be focused on attacking Micrograss's Cleric, Aweto. Their goal was to cut off Aweto's communication with the others. Now that the battle was in full swing, Yuan Baiqing suddenly realized that he had nothing to do, because Tyranny wasn't directing the battle in his direction at all.
Where should I go?
In an instant, Yuan Baiqing was faced with this choice. There were sounds of battle everywhere, where should he support?
Fortunately, there were instructions in the team channel. It wasn't just him, but all of Micrograss was trying their best to converge in the same direction. Tyranny was the one who started this wave of attacks, so there was no doubt as to who would take the initiative. Micrograss clearly didn't want to start a fight with Tyranny in this situation, because that would only lead to Tyranny falling into his rhythm.
Gather the entire team first, then counterattack!
Wang Jiexi's analysis was clear and accurate. However, it wasn't unexpected.
This sort of response was completely within the scope of Tyranny's deployment. On this uneven map, no one could see the entire situation at once. The only ones who could do so were the spectators with omniscient views.
The spectators could see how Micrograss would be obstructed if they tried to converge. Team Tyranny planned to cut off Micrograss's characters. They didn't choose their main target at the start, but rather made adjustments based on the situation.
Team Tyranny moved quickly, and the communication in the team channel was also very fast. Only the most coordinated teammates could instantly understand the meaning behind the concise and comprehensive words. The spectators, on the other hand, were mostly just letters and numbers, and couldn't understand what was being said.
However, they could finally see the result of Tyranny's communication.
In the end, Micrograss was split up. Gao Yingjie's' Kind Grace 'and Liu Xiaobie's' Flying Swords' were cut off and driven to the place where Tyranny wanted them to go.
"Fight!"
Another order was issued. This time, it was Tyranny's real attack.
Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' firepower instantly covered the area. Zhang Jiale's attacks were never just aimed at the target. Most of the time, he was providing cover. Along the way, they had been bombarding the empty ground. But who knew what would suddenly pop out of nowhere? Was it Han Wenqing's Lone Desert Smoke? Lin Jingyan's Dark Thunder? Or was there nothing at all?
No matter what kind of player it was, one had to be on guard against them. Zhang Jiale's Hundred Blossoms style of play was to confuse the opponent by alternating between what was real and what was false. And this time, Han Wenqing's Lone Desert Smoke suddenly burst out from within the range of Hundred Blossoms' attacks.
Liu Xiaobie reacted extremely quickly. Flying Swords immediately swung his sword to meet the attack. Without any hesitation, his hand speed exploded from the very first second.
Against these old generals who were nearing the end of their careers, exploding with hand speed was undoubtedly a smart way to attack the enemy's weakness. Liu Xiaobie knew his current situation, so he didn't hold back.
The crowd let out a wave of gasps as they watched Liu Xiaobie explode. According to the statistics shown on the screen, in an instant, Liu Xiaobie's APM exceeded 300.
Glory was a single-player game. Each player could only control one character. It wasn't like real-time strategy, where there was a lot of room for maneuvering.
An APM of 300 was already unimaginable for Glory players. For many people, it wasn't that their hand speed couldn't reach this level, but that they didn't know what to do with so many maneuvers. And right now, Liu Xiaobie's APM was just a starting point. It was still rising.
Shadow Steps!
When Flying Swords rushed forward to meet Desert Dust, he had already split into seven shadows. With the increase in the level cap and Liu Xiaobie's insanely fast hand speed, he was able to reach a level that normal players could only look up to with a wave of his hand. And each one of them was controlled to perfection. Which one was real? Which one was fake? Perhaps even an experienced God like Han Wenqing wouldn't be able to tell in a moment.
As a result, he simply didn't make a decision.
Playing rock-paper-scissors with his opponent wasn't Han Wenqing's style at all. He had always been simple and direct. Seven shadows? Desert Dust directly rushed over, directly attacking Gao Yingjie's Kind Tree.
Liu Xiaobie immediately had Flying Swords turn around, and a sword light chased after him. But the moment he turned around, a Brick flew out from the light of Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' attack. In the next moment, the Hundred Blossoms style attack was no longer a cover, and instantly swallowed up Flying Swords. At this moment, the audience could see that Flying Sword's HP was slipping down. Liu Xiaobie, with his explosive hand speed, was easily tricked by two seniors.
And after being enveloped by the Hundred Blossoms style, the injuries were secondary, but the key was that in this instant, he felt his vision blur, and Dark Thunder's shadow began to become real. Just as Liu Xiaobie was about to charge forward, a white light suddenly burned his entire body. It was a Sacred Fire that had floated to his feet at some point.
He had to cut off Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' interference!
Liu Xiaobie was still very clear-headed. This was a strong opponent that they had already fought twice in the playoffs, and they had seen most of the moves on both sides. The Hundred Blossoms style had to be cut off from the source, or else they would only be subjected to endless interference. Don't think that the light was also a cover for you. That kind of Hundred Blossoms style was just half-baked. The Hundred Blossoms style from Zhang Jiale's hands was definitely targeted. It didn't rely on a cycle of DPS to create this dazzling scene. Where each attack hit and what it blocked were all things that had to be paid attention to. As a result, the only one that was truly locked down by the Hundred Blossoms style was Liu Xiaobie himself. Tyranny's players and the audience could clearly see the situation when the Hundred Blossoms style was used.
Liu Xiaobie determined Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' position. Ignoring the fact that his skills were sealed, he charged forward. Zhang Jiale obviously wouldn't let him get close so easily. He attacked and retreated, maintaining the distance between the two sides. A few seconds quickly passed, and the seal on Flying Swords' skills was automatically removed. Liu Xiaobie quickly controlled. Flying Swords swung his sword, Triple Slash. Sword light flashed in a line, and then a Sand Toss was thrown at him.
Liu Xiaobie's hand speed was truly fast. In that instant, he actually turned Flying Swords' line of sight. In the end, he was hit by a brick in the back of his head.
Liu Xiaobie was about to cry. This Lin Jingyan, when he was in Wind Howl, wasn't this dirty. After coming to Tyranny, his style had changed a lot.
How could Flying Swords, who had been knocked unconscious, have a good ending? Naturally, there was another wave of concentrated attacks. On the other side, Gao Yingjie had long since noticed that the situation wasn't right. He had wanted to come and save him, but to escape from Han Wenqing's close combat wasn't something that could be done by riding a broom.
Micrograss's other three players had already successfully regrouped. Then, they immediately received news that Liu Xiaobie and Gao Yingjie were trapped. At this moment, gunshots were still ringing out around them. Tyranny's fifth player, Qin Muyun, was a Sharpshooter. He had very deceived Micrograss. By the time they reacted, the team had already been split into two.
The three hurriedly went to save them. Qin Muyun obviously couldn't stop them by himself. He could only try to stall them. By the time these three arrived, Liu Xiaobie's Flying Swords was already at death's door. Yuan Baiqing hurriedly had Aweto rush forward to save him, but to his surprise, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' attacks instantly enveloped them. For a moment, his line of sight was blocked. Yuan Baiqing couldn't find Flying Swords' position at all.
On the other hand, Liu Xiaobie's line of sight suddenly cleared up. His spirits immediately rose. Even though he didn't have much health left, he still actively found Zhang Xinjie's Cleric, Immovable Rock, and rushed forward without hesitation.
Bang!
A gunshot.
Micrograss's three players had arrived. On Tyranny's side, Qin Muyun had naturally retreated. As soon as he returned, he found an opening to attack. With a Thunder Snipe, he accurately hit Flying Swords' head. Thunder Snipe's hidden effect: a hit to the head deals double damage. In an instant, Flying Swords' head exploded into a cloud of blood. This attack really did look like a headshot, and Flying Swords fell just like that. In the team competition, Team Tyranny took the first point.
Killing Flying Swords had helped Tyranny gain a temporary advantage in numbers. They didn't waste it, instantly starting a wave of attacks.
The advantage had been established. The old generals definitely wouldn't let it go to waste. In this instant, they all forgot their own age. Like Liu Xiaobie, they recklessly exploded with their hand speed. In the statistics on the electronic screen, the APM of the two teams' players rose and fell. Just looking at these statistics was enough to imagine the intensity of the battle. Micrograss's captain, Wang Jiexi, even broke through 350 APM and headed towards 400 APM. His Magician playstyle required a lot of control.
Micrograss finally managed to hold on until their sixth player entered the fray, but that was only in terms of numbers. Tyranny's wave of attacks still dealt them a lot of damage. Tyranny's old generals knew how to use their advantage in numbers. Even though they weren't able to drag away Micrograss, their advantage was still magnified.
In a 5v5, Tyranny instantly slowed down their pace. In the end, control wasn't their strong suit. Seizing the opportunity to launch a wave of attacks was fine, but if their hand speed kept up like this, then it would be the death of these old generals.
Seeing that the advantage had been established, Tyranny didn't go all out. Instead, they slowed down their pace and fought a battle of attrition with Micrograss. As they went back and forth, many viewers realized that Team Tyranny's Qin Muyun seemed to be receiving pitiful amounts of healing. It was as if they were purposely letting him go.
This sort of careless mistake obviously wouldn't happen to Zhang Xinjie. This was a tactical choice. Anyone with a bit of Glory knowledge could tell that Team Tyranny was actively trying to switch players. Even though Team Tyranny slowed down their pace, they spared no effort in controlling the situation.
After a steady and steady battle, Qin Muyun successfully swapped with their sixth player, Bai Yanfei. The healing saved by sacrificing Qin Muyun was effectively distributed to the other characters, so they were all in good condition. Now that their sixth player, who had full health and full mana, switched out the low health Sharpshooter, Negative Nine Degrees, their advantage was further magnified.
In the end, Tyranny didn't let this advantage slip away from their hands. In the team competition, Tyranny defeated Micrograss 6-3. In the end, they won the semifinals with a total score of 10-8, advancing into the finals as they wished.
