An Wenyi was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Xinjie had already walked past him to shake hands with Happy's next player.
It seemed like a casual remark, but since it came from Zhang Xinjie's mouth, it couldn't be a purely polite compliment. For this strict vice-captain of Tyranny to say such a thing, he definitely had enough evidence to back up his words.
Everyone on Team Happy had given him no small amount of support and trust. An Wenyi was moved by this, and worked hard, but there was always a sliver of uncertainty in his heart. This trace of uncertainty was magnified by his repeated defeats, causing him to constantly doubt himself.
He was too rational, so much so that the team's care couldn't completely dispel the haze in his heart.
But Zhang Xinjie, the player he admired the most, the player who was known for his strictness, said the words he needed the most when he needed them the most.
The haze in his heart was so easily dispelled. Perhaps this was the so-called opportunity.
I can do it, because if even Zhang Xinjie thinks so, then it really can't be wrong!
An Wenyi's heart was filled with such thoughts. He raised his head and faced each of Tyranny's players, smiled at them, and shook hands with them.
Happy's match against Tyranny ended in a 2-8 loss. This match, which was broadcasted live, didn't leave too many memorable moments. The broadcasters were somewhat regretful, because the other match, Blue Rain's home game against Samsara, was exceptionally exciting. In the end, Blue Rain won 7-3. After Samsara's loss to Hundred Blossoms, they added another round of losses to their tally. And their lead over second place on the leaderboards had shrunk to within 20 points. Samsara's invincible and powerful image, after suffering another loss, finally began to waver.
But although this match was very exciting, the most unexpected match of the round was Thunderclap's home game against 301 Degrees. The result was 1-9. Thunderclap lost miserably. More importantly, their team, which was as strong as Samsara's, actually lost again.
The reason?
301's Yang Cong once again used Life-Risking Strike, directly taking away Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher.
From Happy, to Tyranny, to Thunder, this was the third time Yang Cong had successfully used Life-Risking Strike. He had directly taken out the key figures of the opponent's formation and helped his team obtain victory.
Yang Cong, who had never been this type of assassin, had actually become so crazy after changing classes. Out of the five rounds, he had used Life-Risking Strike three times. What was even more frightening was that he had succeeded all three times. This kind of usage rate, this kind of success rate, was terrifying to the point of suffocation.
Another point worth noting was that apart from Yang Cong's solo performance in Round 19 against Happy's Little Cold Hands, Bai Shu had played a crucial role in Round 21 against Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock and against Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher.
What kind of playstyle did this player have? How was he able to coordinate so well with 301's players? There was no information on this player in the Alliance. Every team had already started asking around in the English Premier League, investigating this Bai Shu's strength in depth. Everyone could feel that 301 Degrees was on the verge of rising. Don't look at how they were still in ninth place on the leaderboards. In the past few rounds, 301 had been constantly beating strong teams to rise up. As for Team Wind Howl, they had been beating mid-tier and lower-tier teams in the past few rounds, which was why they had been able to rise up triumphantly. If they ran into a strong team and had 301 chasing after them, it was very likely that they would be thrown out of the top eight in just two or three rounds.
Team 301 ….
In an instant, they had become an unknown opponent in the eyes of every team. All of the teams were researching, and there was no lack of Happy among them. However, with Happy's current ability, it was truly difficult to obtain information on the English Premier League. After searching online, there were pitifully few videos. In the end, after searching for tens of thousands of times, jumping over walls and jailbreaking, they finally managed to climb onto an English video site. In the end, they were able to gather quite a bit of information on the English Premier League team called "Sprout", which was Bai Shu's former team.
However, after looking at the video of this team's matches, it was truly a bit frightening.
Bai Shu's character in that team was a Knight called "Bough". Other than his Knight, there were two other Assassin characters in the team. In the team competition, these two Assassins were used at the same time, not in rotation. However, the team competition here was different from the Glory Professional Alliance. The team competition in the English Premier League was a six versus six format.
Team Sprout's favorite playstyle was what 301 was currently using: Assassin's Life-Risking Strike. Bai Shu's Bough had an important role in this team, which was to cover for the two Assassins and ensure that their Life-Risking Strike would succeed. After watching the videos of several matches, it could be seen that Bai Shu wasn't just an expert at covering. When the Assassins used Life-Risking Strike, he would also perform all sorts of crowd control on the target. There were also times when Life-Risking Strike wasn't able to take out the target's health. At those times, Bai Shu would become the finishing blow, finishing off the target who hadn't died from the Life-Risking Strike, but had little health left.
His awareness, his methods, his habits, all of this couldn't be summed up in a short amount of time. It would take a lot of time to research it. The hearts of the various large battle teams were extremely gloomy! This season, wasn't there enough information that they needed to start from scratch?
Ye Xiu's unspecialized Lord Grim, Fang Rui's wretched Qi Master, and now 301 had joined in the fun, bringing in another expert that no one knew anything about.
There was nothing they could do about it. No matter how annoyed they felt, they still had to do this work. However, Team Happy's luck could be considered to be the best. The next time they would meet Team 301 would be in Round 38, which would also be the last match of the regular season. They had the most time to research Bai Shu, as well as Bai Shu's addition to Yang Cong's Team 301.
Right now, for Happy, what was giving them more of a headache was perhaps the issue of healing. After losing to Tyranny in Round 23, the criticism of An Wenyi continued. Even the always Happy, Chang Xian, expressed his worry.
He has the ability, we believe in him. But these kinds of statements clearly didn't have any effect. Performance. What people wanted was the most substantial performance, the most presentable performance.
However, in Round 24, Happy's away team was Team Parade.
With Happy's current performance, a team like Parade that was ranked lower didn't seem to be a good test for An Wenyi. It was probably like sweeping Radiant 10-0, where the offensive side could cover up the lack of a healer on the defensive side.
However, in this match's team competition, Happy ran into trouble.
"Do you think you can beat us as easily as you beat Radiant? Don't be too arrogant! "Parade's captain, Grappler Wu Shuai, shouted in the public chat.
After about eight minutes, Parade's lineup was still intact, but Team Happy's Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash had already been sent off the field. Happy was currently at a disadvantage of having one less player, but Parade launched an aggressive attack, trying to eliminate Happy's last player before Happy's sixth player arrived.
It's all that guy's fault!
This match wasn't broadcasted on television, so the players mainly watched it online. In the previous individual competition, Happy had lost a small point in the individual competition, leading 4-1. However, in the team competition, they were at a disadvantage from the start. Parade accurately grasped Happy's weakness: Little Cold Hands' fierce attacks.
Tactics, classes, map selection, they all made brilliant arrangements. In the end, while Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash was desperately protecting Little Cold Hands, he was killed by Parade. When they saw this scene, Happy's supporters were truly enraged.
If it wasn't for him, would the entire team be so exhausted and forced into such a passive state?
If it wasn't for him, Qiao Yifan's Ghost Boundaries would have been even more perfect!
If it wasn't for him, would Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash have lost so much health?
It's all him, it's all him.
"I'm better than him!!" Many players angrily slammed their keyboards, clearly furious. And now, after Parade killed One Inch Ash, they mobilized their firepower to surround Fang Rui's Hai Wuliang.
"F * ck, this Cleric doesn't even exist!" On the spectator's page, the comments section continued to flash with all sorts of complaints.
Happy's people couldn't see any of this. They only knew that the current situation was very unfavorable for them, and that if they lost this match, the last piece of cloth blocking An Wenyi would be gone. Although the team could trust An Wenyi as always, what about himself? Failure after failure was a continuous blow to his confidence. And this time, if Parade also lost because of his mistake, then it would be a critical hit from the combo. Would he be able to hold on?
"Juju An! We're going to attack your Hai Wuliang. Can you heal? " In the team chat, Parade's captain Wu Shuai continued to trash talk, not afraid of exposing their intentions. This was all part of their plan.
"Don't panic, it's not as exaggerated as he says," Ye Xiu said in the team chat.
"Understood." In the end, he received An Wenyi's reply.
Ye Xiu was startled.
This was just a simple statement, but An Wenyi could still type at a time like this, which meant that he wasn't panicking at all. He maintained his calm, watching the battlefield, waiting for the moment when he was needed. And when he wasn't needed, he could obviously give Ye Xiu a reply.
"Very good!" Ye Xiu used this guess to give a reply to An Wenyi's simple statement.
The audience felt that An Wenyi had once again dragged down the entire team, but in Ye Xiu's eyes, An Wenyi hadn't made any big mistakes. The one who had truly made a mistake was Qiao Yifan. He had been too nervous to protect Little Cold Hands, making himself flustered. His performance had been somewhat out of sync with the rest of the team.
"Do we need to heal Hai Wuliang's health?" Ye Xiu mocked back in the public chat, charging forward.
