Just like that, Jiang Botao lost the first round of the individual competition.
19!
Happy's fans seemed to have been prepared for this. After Ye Xiu won this round, the stadium immediately lit up with countless of these slogans.
Another match had been added to the record. Even Team Samsara couldn't stop Ye Xiu's consecutive victories.
"10 to 0!!!" Some people even shouted out this slogan. Last time, Happy had been beaten 10 to 0 by Samsara. What about this time? At the very least, from the start of the match, Samsara wouldn't have a chance to do so again. They still had a chance of being beaten 10 to 0 by Happy.
"That's a bit hard, isn't it?" Pan Lin said with a smile.
"Haha..." Li Yibo laughed, but didn't dare to agree. He didn't have much to say about the individual competition that had just ended, but he was still a bit scared. Because at the start of the match, he had wanted to explain how Jiang Botao's style countered Ye Xiu's playstyle. But because the map was small, the two characters met quickly and immediately started fighting, so he didn't have the time to say anything.
At first, he had regretted it, but now, he was glad that he hadn't been able to.
The message from the match was clear. In the end, it was Ye Xiu's unspecialized playstyle that made Jiang Botao's meticulous playstyle unable to deal with it.
He had almost been slapped in the face... When he saw this, Li Yibo subconsciously touched his face. Fortunately, he hadn't said anything before, so when he saw this, he immediately said that Ye Xiu countered Jiang Botao's style.
Li Yibo, who had grabbed the straw by a fluke, finally managed to show off his talent as a coach, and it was in Happy's match too. Pan Lin had a whole new level of respect for him, but Li Yibo was cheering for his own good luck.
It seemed that not speaking so quickly had its benefits.
Li Yibo had learned a lesson. In the past, he liked to rush to express his opinion first, then use the match to prove it, to show that he had great foresight. But now, he realized that more and more, his foresight was actually going in the opposite direction. In the future, he would have to gain the upper hand after making the first move. Li Yibo summarized his experience and lessons.
The second round of the individual competition began.
Happy was sending out Su Mucheng. Samsara sent out Wu Qi, the team's Assassin player. He had been Samsara's main force during their two consecutive championships, but after Sun Xiang's transfer, he was mostly sent out as the sixth player.
Launcher versus Assassin, one was extremely far away while the other was extremely close. Both sides fought very carefully. Su Mucheng was always vigilant of the distance between them. As for Wu Qi, he would never try to get close unless there was an excellent opportunity.
"What a troublesome Assassin. Team Samsara has really nurtured many outstanding players! After Yang Cong, I think it's very likely that he'll be the Lead Assassin, "Ye Xiu commented to Samsara's Wu Qi as he watched the match.
"Indeed. Patient and ruthless. He has grasped all the characteristics of an Assassin." Wei Chen nodded in agreement.
"Could it be … that Team Samsara is about to form a lineup of five All-Stars?" Chen Guo said.
Ye Xiu and Wei Chen looked at each other. Their gazes revealed their deep understanding.
"We'll have to see how popular their battle teams are then. If all five players are sent into the All-Stars, that would be too frightening, "Fang Rui said. He was analyzing the problem from an objective point of view. The All-Stars voting was done by the fans, so a lot of votes were cast blindly. Those loyal fans of their team, even if they knew that their team's players weren't at that level, would still unhesitatingly give their votes to their team.
If all five of Samsara's players were sent into the All-Stars because of the support of their fans, it could only mean that their fan army had completely swept away the other teams. Otherwise, they would need to rope in the support of many scattered fans. And on this point, Wu Qi really didn't have an advantage. An outstanding player who could compete for the All-Stars could only play as the sixth player in the team competition because of Team Samsara's glorious championship team. And with Team Samsara's strength, there was very little room for the sixth player to perform. If he didn't have a chance to perform, how could he attract attention? Ye Xiu's evaluation was only based on his skill, but in terms of popularity, there were even more objective factors.
"Who knows, maybe after this season, he'll make a fuss about leaving Team Samsara!" Fang Rui held the back of his head and cursed Team Samsara.
But what he said wasn't without logic. If a player had the ability, but no chance to perform, who knew what they would think. More importantly, Wu Qi had already won two championships as part of Team Samsara's main roster. Next, he might have even higher goals, such as a position in the team …
Happy off stage, the players were excitedly discussing Samsara's Wu Qi's future. On stage, the two were still in a stalemate. The two were mostly using their positioning to circle around each other, looking for openings. Even though Su Mucheng could rely on her distance advantage to maintain her attacks, Wu Qi didn't give her a chance to launch a powerful attack.
Time passed second by second. The match looked like a game of tag. Su Mucheng chased after Wu Qi, throwing all sorts of bombs at him.
"She seems to be in a hurry," Wei Chen suddenly said. His tone was filled with worry. He was clearly referring to Su Mucheng.
"Her attack efficiency is very low. If this continues, she'll have problems with her mana," Fang Rui also said.
"She's being baited by her opponent," Ye Xiu said.
The discussion of the match was still mostly between the three of them. Most of the other rookies were listening on the side, learning from their experiences.
"He's purposely wandering around the outermost circle, baiting Su Mucheng to attack him, slowly whittling away at Su Mucheng's mana, waiting for a chance to counterattack." Because there were rookies as listeners, Ye Xiu would often explain in more detail, making it easier for them to understand.
"Then what if she doesn't attack at all?" Luo Ji asked.
"Then she needs to slowly and rhythmically withdraw her attacks. Her opponent has a plan to bait her. He's not only wasting her mana, but also her skills' cooldowns, etc. If she suddenly stops her suppressive fire and her skill tree isn't complete, she'll leave behind a lot of openings, which could be exploited by her opponent. As a result, Su Mucheng's suppressive fire has always been rhythmic, but now it's a bit messy. If this continues, there might be an opening in her Firing Line, "Ye Xiu said.
Firing Line was a term used by Launchers. Launchers paid more attention to depth and level of attacks. If the distance was far, the hit rate would be lower. The closer the distance, the more dangerous the situation would be. Based on each player's skill level and technique, as well as their mastery of various skills, each Launcher had a range that they were most proficient at. This range was where a Launcher could unleash the most powerful attacks. It was called the Firing Line. To break through a Launcher's suppressive fire, breaking through their Firing Line was the key. To do this, one needed to understand how each Launcher operated their Firing Line, what skills they were most proficient at, how they arranged their skills, and what techniques and rhythm they were used to. Then, one needed to think of a way to break through.
These were all basic Glory knowledge. Happy that these rookies had been playing Glory for so long, Ye Xiu obviously didn't need to explain these basics to them. He just needed them to understand that Wu Qi was trying to mess up Su Mucheng's Firing Line. For this reason, he displayed an astonishing amount of patience, forcefully disrupting Su Mucheng's well-controlled rhythm.
Boom boom boom!
Onstage, Dancing Rain fired another round of attacks, which were becoming more and more concentrated. Wu Qi seemed to be in a bit of a difficult situation, but he didn't completely hide his Assassin character, Cruel Silence. He still forcefully exposed himself in Dancing Rain's line of sight, drawing fire.
Boom boom boom!
The attacks came one after another, but below the stage, Wei Chen, Fang Rui, and the others were frowning more and more.
"Not good!" Fang Rui said.
As soon as he said that, Wu Qi's Cruel Silence, who had been hiding like a mouse for so long, suddenly shot out like an arrow leaving a bow.
"Look! There's an opening, he's charging into the Firing Line! "Fang Rui shouted. They had been opponents before, and now they were teammates. He had a good understanding of Su Mucheng's Firing Line. Putting himself in Wu Qi's shoes and thinking for a while, he even came up with a set of ideas on what to do next.
Wu Qi's plan obviously wasn't completely the same as Fang Rui's, but the two had grasped onto the same opening. Su Mucheng's Firing Line was already somewhat incomplete. What should have been an incomparably powerful offense couldn't be perfectly executed because of the lack of a few skills.
I can get through!
That was the only thought in Wu Qi's mind. Cruel Silence ran at full speed, racing against time, rushing towards Dancing Rain, preparing to break through Su Mucheng's Firing Line in one fell swoop.
"Haha …" Just when everyone was Happy and worried about Su Mucheng, Ye Xiu laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Chen Guo asked.
"A crafty rabbit has three burrows, have you heard of that?" Ye Xiu said.
"I've heard of it. What about it?" Chen Guo didn't understand.
"Who said that there can only be one Firing Line?" Ye Xiu laughed.
Let alone the old pro players, even Chen Guo understood when she heard this.
On the battlefield, artillery fire came one after another. Su Mucheng obviously wouldn't just sit there and wait for her opponent to close in on her. She had Dancing Rain block her opponent's charge. But Wu Qi was certain that Su Mucheng's Firing Line had been disrupted. She couldn't stop him.
Pass!
Just as Cruel Silence took a step forward, Wu Qi let out a sigh of relief. She had broken through Su Mucheng's Firing Line. The distance between them would only be weaker, and under the pressure of his attacks, it was more likely that the opponent would panic and make a mistake.
It's time to end this!
Just as Wu Qizheng was thinking about this, boom, boom, boom! Three cannons were fired and three anti-tank cannons were fired at him.
It was just a low-level skill. Wu Qi didn't think too much of it. He casually controlled his Cruel Silence to pass through the Anti-Tank Missiles.
Continue forward!
This was the only thought in his mind.
But …
What's going on? The suppressive fire didn't seem to be as weak as he had expected?
Wu Qi, who was dodging the Anti-Tank Missiles, discovered that his charge wasn't going well. He hadn't achieved the results he had expected. He couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him. That's right, Su Mucheng's Firing Line should have been left behind by him! But this offense …
