Fang Rui left the stage and waved at the audience as he walked back to Happy's booth. Fang Rui's performance was actually the most exciting. However, there was a high level of skill involved in the match, and there was no live broadcast commentary. Not many people in the audience were able to see it. Most of them needed time to reflect on it.
But no matter what, taking down one of Hundred Blossoms' players and dealing one-fifth damage to their captain and core, Fang Rui's performance was definitely commendable. As the home crowd, they naturally had to respond with applause.
Happy's booth, Mo Fan silently got up and walked over to the player booth without saying anything to anyone. The audience's attention was still on Fang Rui, who was actively interacting with the audience, so not many people noticed. Fang Rui didn't seem to notice it, either. However, when Mo Fan brushed past him, he suddenly blurted out, "Do your best."
Mo Fan subconsciously paused his steps. When he turned his head, Fang Rui didn't stop, nor did he look at him. He was actively posing for a few audience members who wanted to take pictures of him!
Thus, Mo Fan continued to silently walk up the stage and into the player booth.
The third match of the group arena, Happy Mo Fan, Deception, versus Hundred Blossoms' Yu Feng, Blossoming Chaos.
One was a rookie, the other was an All Star level God. On paper, this matchup was clearly very, very different.
This match was a bit like the first match of the individual competition, but it was the other way around. This time, it was Happy's turn to stand on the stage for the first time, directly facing a God in the pro scene. In the first round, Mo Fan hadn't appeared.
With the first individual competition as an example, the referee was a bit worried, so he specially ran over to check on Happy. But when he came over, he saw that this player's face was as heavy as water.
How pitiful. He's so nervous that even his expression is frozen. The referee sighed in his heart.
"Don't be nervous. Just treat it as a normal game," the referee said gently. He sympathized with rookies.
But this rookie glanced at him and didn't say anything. He expressionlessly entered the player booth.
Didn't hear me? That's not right. Then why did he look at me? Did he hear me? What kind of reaction was this? The referee was at a loss for a moment. However, this wasn't his duty, and he was only doing it out of goodwill. It was enough for him to do this, so he didn't pay any more attention to it. He returned to his referee's stand and watched the two sides confirm the situation. He thought to himself, Don't tell me that this person didn't do anything after entering the competitor's stand?
In the end, when he returned to his seat, both sides had already made their preparations. The rookies' actions were rather decisive and swift!
The referee looked at the time and saw that it was about time. He then confirmed the start of the new round.
The map remained the same.
However, Mo Fan was a newbie. Even if he had spent a lot of time in the Arena in the game, it would be hard for him to have a professional understanding of the map like a pro player. As for Yu Feng, he had already shown that he was no stranger to this map in the previous match. No matter how one looked at it, the outcome of this match was already decided.
Even the applause from the audience was particularly low-key, as if they didn't want to put too much pressure on the newcomer. There were no shouts or shouts of victory at all.
The two characters entered the map. Yu Feng's Blossoming Chaos headed straight for the center, while Mo Fan's Deception took a detour.
The four classes of the Nightwalker class rarely fought head on. Yu Feng rushed to the center and didn't see Deception, so he wasn't surprised at all.
He wasn't unfamiliar with this map. He didn't need to observe it on the spot to know where the opponent could launch a sneak attack.
Yu Feng stared at a few spots. Mo Fan's Deception had already arrived at this moment. He hid in one of these spots and stared at Yu Feng's Blossoming Chaos.
Neither side moved. The match immediately became dull.
Whether or not Glory matches should have a timer had always been debated.
With a timer, there would be a lot of utilitarian playstyles, making the match extremely boring and ugly. However, without a timer, there would sometimes be a patient stalemate, making the match especially dull. Especially for the broadcasters, this kind of time-consuming and boring standoff made them go crazy.
For example, right now …
Yu Feng and Mo Fan didn't take the initiative to attack. They were both waiting for the other to reveal an opening.
This kind of waiting atmosphere sounded very moving, but looking at it like this, it was completely still.
The players were challenging each other's patience, and at the same time challenging the audience's patience. If everyone was patient enough, wouldn't they just keep waiting?
The reason for this kind of situation was related to the maps used in Glory. Glory's maps were quite vast, which greatly enriched the content of the match. As a result, this kind of hiding and waiting competition came to be.
How to solve it? Insightful people had thought about it for many seasons, but up until now, they hadn't found a satisfactory solution. However, this problem had to be solved. They couldn't let the two players just stare at each other for an hour without making a move, right?
In the end, the Alliance gave this authority to the referee. The referee would make a decision based on the situation.
Yu Feng was obviously familiar with the rules, so he didn't move.
As for Mo Fan, he was a pro player. He obviously understood the rules, but he hadn't experienced the rules yet, so he didn't move.
Soon, the system sent a message in the match channel.
The system was the referee. After the two sides stared at each other for a long time, the referee gave Mo Fan a yellow card as a warning.
Even though Yu Feng didn't move, he was in the open, while Mo Fan's hidden intentions were obvious. In this situation, the one who would be warned was Mo Fan. Yu Feng knew this, so he didn't panic. He patiently waited for Mo Fan to be forced to make a move by the referee.
The first yellow card was a reminder. If it was a second yellow card, it would be replaced with a red card. On the soccer field, a red card was to send someone off the field. On the Glory stage, in an individual match, getting a red card meant that the match was over.
Mo Fan had seen the rules, and now, he was finally experiencing the rules.
After the yellow card, if he continued to maintain this posture, the second yellow card wouldn't be as patient as the first, and he would soon receive a red card.
Thus, Yu Feng knew that Mo Fan was definitely going to move. He focused, paying attention to his surroundings.
Sure enough, Mo Fan moved.
Deception left his hiding spot and quietly moved to another location. Then, he went back into hiding.
He continued to not move.
The referee was enraged!
Originally, he was quite concerned about the rookie, but this rookie actually dared to be so clever. Changing to a hiding spot, did you think that this would be considered as you taking the initiative?
Seeing that Deception had no intention of attacking, the referee decisively sent another message.
Two yellow cards for a red card. Deception, eliminated!
The crowd went into an uproar.
Mo Fan was at a loss.
What? This isn't good?
The system directly declared Yu Feng the winner, leaving Yu Feng at a loss.
Happy, what's wrong with this rookie? He got a yellow card and still didn't move. Wasn't he asking for a red card? How could he know that Mo Fan had actually moved? His movement made the referee feel like he was being toyed with. Was the loophole in the rules so easy for you to exploit?
With a red card, Mo Fan was immediately disqualified. Furthermore, players who received a red card weren't allowed to participate in the next round, and depending on the situation, there could be additional suspensions.
The crowd was speechless. They didn't know how to express their current emotions. After all, this was a rookie on stage for the first time. They couldn't bear to boo him! But to be directly sent off with a red card like this was the same as giving the opponent a perfect victory. This this this this … it was too vexing.
Under the complicated gazes of the crowd, Mo Fan walked off the stage.
Tears streamed down the faces of Happy's players. This was the fault of not communicating with him! But the problem was, communicating with Mo Fan was too difficult. They let him figure it out himself, and the result was this.
Mo Fan returned to the player area, to his seat. Everyone's expression was complicated, but they only looked at each other. No one went up to say anything.
As for Mo Fan? Right now, his expression was no longer as unchanging as before. He revealed a hesitant expression. No one knew what kind of struggle he was going through in his heart. Finally, after a while, he hesitantly opened his mouth. "What … should I do?"
He only said this one sentence. He didn't even say what he wanted to say.
"I'll teach you." Su Mucheng smiled, sitting next to Mo Fan in the corner.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
However, Chen Guo's expression was still gloomy. The group arena had started off well, but because of Mo Fan's red card, it had suddenly become very bad.
Happy's third place in the group arena was Tang Rou. Facing such a difficult situation, she was quite excited. But now, she had a clear understanding of her own skill level.
"Let's try it!" These were the words Tang Rou said before leaving her seat to go on stage.
She didn't seem as confident as she usually was, but for a rookie player facing the All-Star God Yu Feng, who still had four-fifths of his health left, as well as a defender at full health, to say that she would give it a try was already quite impressive and bold.
Tang Rou went on stage. The applause was loud. Her popularity was quite high right now, and it wasn't just Happy's fans. In the entire Glory circle, there were many people paying attention to this beautiful player. It wasn't right to judge a book by its cover, but it had to be admitted that appearance was still the first impression. Beauty could always lead by one, two, or even many steps at the starting line.
It was another rookie. However, the referee had just been teased by Mo Fan, so his concern for rookies was greatly reduced. He didn't have much to say to Tang Rou. After confirming that she had entered the player booth, the referee quickly announced the start of the next match.
In the previous match, after a static drawing had been swapped for another static drawing, the winner was decided by a red card.
This time, 23 seconds after the match started, the two characters met in the middle of the map and instantly began fighting.
