The five second countdown quickly passed. This would undoubtedly be the first climax of today's match. Two All Star players, two All Star characters. Even though Zou Yuan's All Star aura was partly due to Hundred Blossoms fans being swayed by their emotions, after last season, his ability had begun to receive attention and recognition, and he himself was becoming more and more confident.
At the start of the match, Zou Yuan controlled his Spitfire, Bright Blossoms, to charge towards the center of the map.
Blood and Blossoms.
Team Hundred Blossoms said that they wanted to recreate this duo, but unfortunately, there was only one Zhang Jiale and one Sun Zheping in this world, so there was only one Blood and Blossoms.
Recreating this duo was Hundred Blossoms' beautiful vision, or perhaps it was a blueprint drawn for the fans. But in reality, Zou Yuan had his own style, and Yu Feng was very different from Sun Zheping. No matter what, the two of them couldn't play together like Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping. But so what? What couldn't be replicated wasn't necessarily the best. From the start, Yu Feng wasn't too interested in recreating this duo. He had transferred over from Blue Rain, who was more like a champion, in order to create an era that belonged solely to him. He wasn't here to be a replica of anyone else.
In the first half of last season, Hundred Blossoms barely managed to recreate the so-called Blood and Blossoms, but their results weren't too good. Later on, Yu Feng and Zou Yuan made adjustments, coordinating and fighting in a way that they were more comfortable with, and Hundred Blossoms' results immediately improved.
Now, the two of them were no longer confused. They wanted to use their own methods to surpass their seniors and create a duo that belonged solely to them. Even though the outside world still referred to their duo as Blood and Blossoms, they believed that there would definitely be a name that belonged solely to them.
With this belief, Zou Yuan and Hundred Blossoms welcomed the new season together.
In the first match, they met Heavenly Swords, one of the creators of Blood and Blossoms, Sun Zheping. In that match, Sun Zheping took one point from the individual competition. Even though his opponent wasn't Zou Yuan or Yu Feng, the outside world still made comparisons between seniors and juniors. Heavenly Swords lost as a whole, but Sun Zheping's one point was like a crane in a flock of chickens. The public described him as the victor.
This kind of irresponsible talk made Zou Yuan very helpless, but all he could do was play seriously.
He had to score this point beautifully. This was the goal that Zou Yuan had set for himself. Although he knew that the opponent in front of him was not easy to deal with, the more it was like this, the more valuable this point was.
Bright Blossoms quickly approached the center of the map, and Zou Yuan immediately saw Dancing Rain rushing over from the opposite direction.
Dancing Rain was originally an All Star character, but after returning to the Alliance, everyone discovered that Dancing Rain's growth wasn't at the level that an All Star character should have. All-Star level characters were undoubtedly the focus of every team's strategy after the level cap was raised. After Happy obtained Hai Wuliang, he immediately upgraded his Silver weapon, Mirror Moon, to Level 75. All of the All Star characters' weapons finally completed their Level 75 upgrade. As for the rest of the Silver equipment, it would depend on the situation of each team.
However, Dancing Rain, who could be considered an All Star Launcher with plenty of experience, was currently equipped with Devouring Sun, the only Level 75 Silver equipment she had. It was clear that in Excellent Era, after the Level 75 update, Dancing Rain wasn't the focus of their strategy. Of course, there was another reason. During Excellent Era, the competition for materials hadn't gone smoothly.
Right now, if the two All Star characters were compared in terms of equipment levels, Bright Blossoms was much brighter. He had five pieces of Level 75 Silver equipment, which was quite luxurious at the moment.
Hundred Blossoms had the upper hand.
What about their condition? Su Mucheng hadn't played in a pro match for a year, while Zou Yuan's skill and temperament had all improved in the past year. In terms of player condition, Hundred Blossoms seemed to have the upper hand.
This was the analysis that Hundred Blossoms had made regarding Su Mucheng and Dancing Rain before the match. Now that they were facing each other, Zou Yuan was full of confidence. He didn't try to dodge, and instead faced her head on.
He didn't try to move strategically, but Su Mucheng instantly changed directions when she saw Bright Blossoms.
Zou Yuan was confident, but he wasn't arrogant. Seeing Su Mucheng carefully avoid him, he didn't rush forward. The map used for this match was a narrow street. In theory, it wasn't suitable for long-ranged classes because there were too many options for them to use as cover. However, both of them were Gunners, so it wasn't clear who had the advantage. However, this was Happy's home game, and the map was chosen by Happy. Su Mucheng wasn't a newbie. Her experience was even richer than Zou Yuan's. She naturally had her own plans for choosing this map. Now that she suddenly changed directions, she was undoubtedly going to take advantage of the map's characteristics. Zou Yuan didn't rashly chase after her. He carefully observed his surroundings, and only after seeing a few paths did he choose to circle around to intercept her.
In the end, after Bright Blossoms also changed directions, a small commotion broke out in the competition venue. From their omniscient view, the audience could see clearly. After Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain changed directions, she didn't circle around to advance. Instead, she chose to wait there. But now that Bright Blossoms had circled around, Dancing Rain suddenly walked out and circled behind Bright Blossoms.
Glory wasn't Counter-Strike. There was no possibility of an instant kill with a headshot. However, in a battle between experts, the first strike could very well give one the initiative. From the looks of it, there was no doubt that Su Mucheng held the advantage. Dancing Rain would stealthily move behind Bright Blossoms and attack from behind.
But at this moment, Zou Yuan's Bright Blossoms suddenly stopped moving. He stood in that narrow alley, as if he had begun to think. The audience couldn't see anything from the projection, but from Bright Blossoms' perspective shown on the big screen, everyone could see that Bright Blossoms was leaning to the side, allowing him to see from both sides. Zou Yuan didn't neglect his back. He had already made his preparations and was waiting for two possibilities.
With this method, he wouldn't be able to seize the initiative, but at the very least, he wouldn't let his opponent take advantage of him. The situation would return to a face-to-face situation. This was also a reflection of Zou Yuan's confidence.
Su Mucheng obviously couldn't completely guess Zou Yuan's thoughts. As soon as Dancing Rain circled around to this side, Zou Yuan immediately caught sight of her from the edge of his field of vision. Su Mucheng saw Bright Blossoms standing there in a daze as if he had disconnected. She didn't try to dodge and attacked without hesitation.
The sneak attack didn't succeed. The two sides clashed head-on. The match was going according to Zou Yuan's expectations. His spirits were roused. He wanted to have a good showdown with Su Mucheng, but Bright Blossoms had only just taken two steps forward. Before he could even fire his first shot, Dancing Rain's heavy firepower had already arrived. Zou Yuan had no choice but to retreat. As a result, this retreat immediately put him on the defensive.
Launchers were a class that even their normal attacks had AoE effects. None of their skills were single-target attacks. All of their attacks were AoE. The only difference was the size of the map.
As a result, Zou Yuan realized that he had made a mistake. From this position, he could see both sides of Bright Blossoms' body. It could be imagined how narrow the space was. As soon as the Launcher's firepower covered him, Zou Yuan suddenly realized that he had nowhere to run.
This position …
Only now did Zou Yuan realize how disadvantageous this position was for him. It was basically a trap for a Launcher.
Moving forward was impossible. Zou Yuan could only have Bright Blossoms retreat. This choice was undoubtedly very difficult. Launchers had the highest attack range of the 24 classes. Dancing Rain was also an All Star character. In the Excellent Era, she often used Screen Cannons as support. In addition, her equipment's stats and attack range had increased. How could it be easy to pull away from her attack range and escape?
Zou Yuan obviously couldn't rely on movement alone to escape. Under the cover of the firepower, he endured the damage. Bright Blossoms threw out two grenades.
One of them exploded in an instant, and several of the electronic screens in the competition venue immediately turned white and flashed.
It was a Flash Grenade. Dancing Rain had clearly been affected. Those white flashing screens were from her perspective.
However, the attacks didn't stop …
Even in this situation, Dancing Rain still carried her heavy cannon on her shoulder and fired a barrage of attacks forward. The other grenade that Bright Blossoms threw out was a Smoke Grenade. At this moment, thick smoke had already risen in the alleyway. However, even a Flash Grenade couldn't stop Su Mucheng from continuing to attack. Was the smoke an obstacle to her?
It didn't seem like it …
Dancing Rain was already completely enveloped in smoke, but her footsteps didn't stop. Her attacks didn't stop either. Attacking from here, she didn't seem to need to see. Flash Grenades, Smoke Grenades, these things all existed in name only.
The audience was dumbstruck. Just how skilled did she have to be to be able to attack blindly like this?
In an instant, the stadium erupted with applause. Zou Yuan obviously couldn't hear it. He, who had entered this match full of confidence, was now somewhat flustered. From the audience's perspective, the Flash Grenades and Smoke Grenades didn't change Dancing Rain's offense. However, Zou Yuan, who was in the middle of the battle, knew that her offense was changing. The moment Su Mucheng's line of sight was blinded, her attacks became fiercer and fiercer. The range of her attacks instantly increased. In this situation, she was actually taking the initiative.
However, Zou Yuan wasn't prepared to admit defeat. Ever since he had slowly built up his confidence, his playstyle had become more and more unyielding. Flash Grenades, Smoke Grenades, these skills could all be used to create a match point. Zou Yuan didn't want to waste them. Su Mucheng's line of sight wasn't affected, so he could only add more attacks to disrupt her.
Bright Blossoms didn't retreat. Instead, he advanced.
