After the two individual rounds, whether it was luck or skill, Happy was leading 2-0. Next up was the third round. The names appeared on the screen and the players stood up. After a brief moment of surprise, the audience erupted into a wave of cheers.
"Old Wei, can you do it!!!" In the audience seats near Happy's seats, someone shouted at the top of their lungs.
Wei Chen clearly heard it. He looked in the direction of the shouts and glanced disdainfully at them. Then, he raised his index finger and shook it in that direction.
The Void players were all dumbfounded. Even though the middle finger wasn't as insulting as the middle finger, there was at least a hint of disdain in it. What was he thinking? He was actually doing this to his own home crowd?
In the end, what shocked them even more was that the audience who had been disdainfully shook their index fingers immediately boiled up and started booing Wei Chen, but they didn't hide their playful mood at all.
Anyone could see that it wasn't that they didn't support Wei Chen. This was a type of sarcasm between close friends. If they weren't close enough, they wouldn't be able to joke around like this.
What kind of relationship was this with the fans?
Void's players watched in a daze. Some didn't agree, but in their hearts, they were a bit … envious. Because they didn't have it, so they were envious. It was a natural emotion.
Wei Chen walked onto the stage amidst this atmosphere. Of course, there was a reason why Happy's supporters were able to joke with him and not with the other members of Happy. This was because after everyone in Happy became pro players, Wei Chen was the only one who was more down-to-earth.
Even now, his Windward Formation still frequently went to the game to wander around.
In reality, his pro career only lasted two years, but in Glory, he had played for more than ten years. This was a deeply rooted part of his life. It couldn't be removed. Not letting him play the game was harder than not letting him smoke.
After all, Windward Formation wasn't very famous. Wei Chen's role as Happy's substitute was also very obvious, so he didn't receive too much attention. His character wouldn't be surrounded by onlookers in the game.
Playing the game meant interacting with other players. As a result, many people's understanding of Wei Chen didn't come from the Alliance, the team, or the media. Sometimes, it came from chatting in the guild chat, or a random conversation during a dungeon run.
As a result, Wei Chen became a somewhat special pro player. In addition, he also carried a record. He was the oldest pro player in the Alliance to date. Some people even asked him, "If you're still playing now, why did you leave it blank for so many years?"
Wei Chen couldn't answer this question.
He only knew that even though there wasn't much he could do standing here, he would do his best because he was a pro player.
The third round of the individual competition began.
Happy, Wei Chen, Warlock Windward Formation.
Void, Yang Haoxuan. Launcher, Translucent.
Yang Haoxuan, a Season 7 pro player. When he was 15 years old, he started training in Team Void's training camp. When he was 17 years old, he received a contract with Team Void. He had already played for Team Void for four years and was only 20 years old.
"Young …" Wei Chen sighed.
The match began quickly. Against a Launcher, Windward Formation's cast range wasn't much of an advantage. Wei Chen started off with a tactical positioning. He was the one who chose the map, so there was no need to talk about his familiarity.
As for Yang Haoxuan? He started off the same as Wei Chen, using a tactical opening. His character, Translucent, also circled around the map. When he reached the center of the map, he didn't see his opponent's character and immediately understood.
Boom!
Yang Haoxuan immediately had his Translucent fire a cannon, trying to use sound to lure Wei Chen into exposing Windward Formation.
But when Wei Chen heard the sound of cannonfire, he didn't go to check. He directly had Windward Formation turn around. Everyone looked. This direction was pretty close to Translucent's position. The old general's hearing was quite good.
But after Yang Haoxuan fired the cannon, he didn't have Translucent stay where he was. After moving, he switched to an oriole with a wider field of view.
Luring the snake out of its hole.
Many of the spectators were familiar with this trick. After playing for so many years, would the Wei Chen fall for it?
From their omniscient view, the spectators watched as Wei Chen's Windward Formation slowly moved towards Translucent's original position.
The spectators began to fret. They were worried for Wei Chen. But Wei Chen was a fool. It was as if he hadn't considered this possibility at all.
When Windward Formation appeared, the crowd sighed.
Yang Haoxuan didn't immediately start attacking. A tactic that even the spectators could clearly see was too low-level. Wei Chen had the ability to follow the sound and come over. How could he not know such a simple tactic? Especially when he saw that there were no opponents here, he should have understood it even more clearly. As a result, Yang Haoxuan didn't think that Wei Chen had rashly rushed over. He definitely had some sort of plan in mind. If Yang Haoxuan attacked immediately, Wei Chen, who was already on guard, probably already had a countermeasure. Yang Haoxuan was afraid that it wouldn't have any good effects. It was better to endure and wait until the opponent felt that this wasn't a trap and let down his guard.
As a result, Yang Haoxuan didn't move.
As a result, Wei Chen spoke: "I'm already here. Come out and fight. What are you dawdling in the corner for? Did you think that I would let down my guard?"
He's tricking me! I'm not moving. Yang Haoxuan thought.
"I'm talking about you, the one at coordinates 45, 56," Wei Chen said.
Yang Haoxuan was startled. He looked at his character's coordinates. Sure enough, it was 45, 56.
The crowd immediately applauded. Brilliant judgment! To be able to determine the opponent's whereabouts so clearly, this was a complete understanding of the map and the opponent's character!
Yang Haoxuan felt quite embarrassed that his coordinates had been called out. However, he knew that there were a lot of spectators watching him. If he walked out like this, it would be a bit embarrassing!
In this short moment, Wei Chen was already yelling again: "What, you're still not going to come out?"
Yang Haoxuan helplessly prepared to let his character go out...
"Haha, I know. So you're at 48, 31!" Wei Chen's words suddenly popped up in the chat. Windward Formation confidently headed in a certain direction.
F * ck!
Yang Haoxuan's character, who was just about to rush out, stopped abruptly.
"This old fox!" Yang Haoxuan's head was covered in cold sweat. He had almost been tricked out. Fortunately, he had been in a daze. It looked like this round, it was Void's turn to be lucky!
Yang Haoxuan imagined the 48 and 31 coordinates that Wei Chen had yelled out. His Translucent walked out and prepared to circle around Windward Formation's back. Then, with a continuous barrage of heavy fire, he would give Windward Formation a fierce wave of damage.
Yang Haoxuan took a deep breath, preparing for the coming climax.
The crowd was filled with "tsk tsk" sighs.
"Young people!" Someone said.
Yang Haoxuan's age, compared to other esports players, couldn't be considered young. Twenty years old should be the peak of the middle-aged generation. However, compared to Wei Chen, who was a generation older than him, he was still young.
The young man was just about to create a climax, when a Hexagram Prison suddenly fell from the sky. He didn't have time to dodge, and Translucent was sealed.
Crap!
Yang Haoxuan suddenly realized that he had been tricked.
Luring the snake out of its hole. The same tactic, but different usage. In the end, the older the wiser!
After this ambush, Wei Chen had established a good advantage for himself. Then, after a few rounds of fighting in this dirty and complicated map, he finally defeated Yang Haoxuan.
Complete victory in the individual competition, 3-0!
The crowd turned into a sea of joy.
10-0!!
Happy's countless supporters shouted. Complete victory in the individual competition, this was another 10-0!
Yang Haoxuan came out of the player booth and left the stage dejectedly. Happy was on the other side, but Wei Chen stayed there for a long time.
"This old thing, he's being cold on the outside again!" Someone in the audience laughed. Because the break between the individual competition and the group arena was relatively long, the referee didn't immediately rush him.
Wei Chen sat in the player booth, holding a cigarette in his hand. However, when he saw the no smoking sign above his head, he didn't dare to light it up.
"That was close …" Wei Chen's gaze returned to the computer screen. He looked at Windward Formation's health. He still had 8% left.
He had won, but it hadn't been an easy win. The initial ambush had been very successful, allowing him to establish a 30% lead. However, in the end, he was forced to only have 8% of his health. This made Wei Chen a bit unhappy. There was an uneasy voice in his heart that kept reminding him of this fact.
"I really am old." Wei Chen muttered to himself, "So, this is my way of winning."
"Is it important if it's 8% or 80%? Tsk, this isn't the group arena. "Wei Chen mumbled. He got up and walked out of the player booth.
Seeing him appear, the crowd erupted into thunderous applause.
"That's right. A win is a win. This result is enough." Wei Chen smiled. He was in a good mood.
"Not bad, Old Wei!!!"
When he walked down the stage, many of the spectators in the seats closer to him started making fun of him. Some of them didn't really know Wei Chen. They just saw other people doing that and felt that Wei Chen was a player they could interact with, so they followed his example.
Wei Chen didn't disappoint them. He didn't refuse to interact with them. He winked at these people who were yelling at him and even made some vulgar jokes about "old people can still do it." He proudly walked past them.
"For this kind of small character, this senior just used a little trick to take him down." After returning to the Happy Formation, Wei Chen flashed the tip of his little finger and gestured as he spoke.
"Amazing, amazing." Everyone praised him.
"You should have given me a main roster spot. For an old general like you, you should rotate more and rest more!" Wei Chen said gruffly as he patted Ye Xiu.
"Thanks!" Ye Xiu laughed, "But I'm still very young!"
"As long as you're not bragging." Wei Chen said.
