1 to 0!
Twenty-six consecutive wins.
Ye Xiu's record was not stopped in the end, and he set another new record. Pan Lin and Li Yibo discussed this with great interest. Ruan Cheng laughed along from time to time, but his mood was gloomy.
The second round of the individual competition.
Happy, Qiao Yifan, One Inch Ash.
Micrograss, Gao Yingjie, Kind Tree.
When the names of the two teams' players appeared on the big screen, the players of both teams who were about to go onstage were stunned, and they couldn't help but turn to look at the other team's player bench.
In Micrograss, they were the best of friends. Only one was in the sky, one was on the ground.
Qiao Yifan had always envied Gao Yingjie, envied his talent, envied the importance and expectations the team placed on him. In comparison, Qiao Yifan wasn't sure what kind of player he would become in the future.
Gao Yingjie had always been clear about Qiao Yifan's situation. He wanted to help him, but he didn't know where to start. When the team announced that they were giving up on Qiao Yifan, Gao Yingjie gathered his courage and went to find captain Wang Jiexi, but the answer he received was "the team doesn't need him."
The answer was a bit cold, but it was very true. Gao Yingjie knew that this wasn't a game. The team didn't need him, and there was no better reason than this. In Micrograss, everything was about the team. If the team didn't need him, then even if he had thousands of talents and thousands of skills, there was no point in continuing. Even someone as strong as Wang Jiexi had to change his style to serve the team. What other player had the right to place himself above the team?
The pair of good friends went their separate ways, each walking their own path of glory.
In the following season, Gao Yingjie officially became Micrograss's main player, and was selected as an All Star player. His future was limitless.
Qiao Yifan, on the other hand, joined Happy's Internet cafe team, and fought his way through the Challenger League.
They both paid attention to each other's performance, watched each other's growth, and were happy for each other's achievements.
Finally, Happy won the Challenger League, and rushed into the Pro Alliance. They met again, but this time, they were no longer teammates, but opponents.
In the eighth round, Happy was playing against Micrograss on their home ground. Qiao Yifan had fought in the individual competition before, and his opponent was Zhou Yebai, the Ghostblade player from Micrograss. He won, proved himself, and attracted a lot of attention with his new playstyle.
Gao Yingjie had mixed feelings. On one hand, he was happy for Qiao Yifan's current strength. On the other hand, Qiao Yifan was already an opponent. His victory would bring defeat to Micrograss.
This time, neither of them had expected that they would have to personally determine victory and defeat.
After turning around to look at each other, the two of them turned around and walked up the stage with firm steps.
Pan Lin and Li Yibo from Excellent Era were also introducing the two players with great interest.
"Qiao Yifan is a former Micrograss player. He joined the team at the same time as Gao Yingjie. I heard that their relationship was quite good back then." Pan Lin said.
"Compared to Gao Yingjie, Qiao Yifan's career has been quite bumpy. He's only been in the pro scene for three years, and he's probably already experienced a lot of ups and downs. Sitting on the bench, being abandoned, having nowhere else to go, joining Happy's internet cafe team, the Challenger League, and now returning to the Pro Alliance. It looks like he's going to make it into the playoffs, and maybe even the finals! "Li Yibo said.
"Haha, I agree with everything else, but joining Happy's internet cafe team when he had nowhere else to go might be his luck!" Pan Lin said.
"Ha, who would've thought that an internet cafe team could achieve such results?" Li Yibo laughed. ,
"Hahahahaha …" Ruan Cheng continued to laugh dryly on the side. Happy was still leading 1-0, so he didn't have any basis to express his opinion. He was hoping that Happy would quickly lose a match, so he would have a reason to say that Happy wasn't good enough.
Qiao Yifan, Gao Yingjie? Ruan Cheng felt that his chance had come. Gao Yingjie had been known as a genius for a long time, and now he was an All Star level player. As for Qiao Yifan? The player who had been abandoned by Micrograss, even if he used his own hard work to find a spot again, the difference in talent between him and Gao Yingjie wasn't something that could be closed with hard work. Because Gao Yingjie, who was known as a genius, had always worked hard.
The match began, and the two characters went to the two corners of the map.
"We finally have a chance to stand on the stage together." The news quickly appeared in the public chat. The first to speak was Gao Yingjie.
"Yes." Qiao Yifan replied. Last time, the two had both appeared in the individual competition, but in the end, they were separated. And in the team competition, Qiao Yifan wasn't on the roster. This time, the two were meeting for the first time.
"But it's a pity that we're actually opponents." Gao Yingjie said. Before, when Qiao Yifan was still in Team Micrograss, the two friends often discussed in private how they should cooperate in a match. They even practiced a lot. But because Qiao Yifan never had a chance to appear in a match, the two had never cooperated in an official match. Until today, the two finally stood on the stage together. Unfortunately, things had changed, and they no longer had a chance to use their practiced coordination. The two were now opponents, and in the end, only one of them was allowed to remain standing.
"Good luck, go all out." Qiao Yifan said.
"I will." Gao Yingjie said solemnly. He was no longer the timid youth from before. His hands didn't hesitate to operate the keyboard and mouse, and Kind Tree rushed out.
Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash was already up ahead. This map was a bit closer to Ye Xiu's preference, and the terrain wasn't too complicated.
The two sides quickly appeared in each other's field of view. In this type of situation where there was no cover, a Phantom Demon couldn't let the other side get too close to them. Casting a Ghost Boundary required casting. In a close-range fight, there was no chance to cast a skill, and a Phantom Demon's abilities would be reduced by at least 70%.
How could Gao Yingjie not know this was common knowledge in Glory? When he saw One Inch Ash in his field of view, he was already preparing to attack. Phantom Demons relied on setting up Ghost Boundaries to prevent their opponents from getting close. However, Witches also had mid-range attacks, which could disrupt the opponent's casting to a certain extent.
But …
"So early?" Commentator Pan Lin exclaimed in surprise.
The two appeared in each other's field of view, but they were still far from each other's attack range. However, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash had already stopped and started casting a Ghost Boundary.
"Isn't he being a bit too cautious?" Pan Lin said.
The cast was already complete. Kind Tree was still far away, so he couldn't interfere. One Inch Ash cast a Dark Boundary, and anyone who stepped into the Dark Boundary would be blinded. This array wasn't placed at the limit of One Inch Ash's range. It was closer to him. As soon as the Dark Boundary appeared, One Inch Ash immediately rushed forward.
In the blink of an eye, he stopped and cast another Ghost Boundary.
"Oh!" Li Yibo saw that Gao Yingjie's Kind Tree couldn't advance in front of the Dark Boundary and could only circle around it. He immediately understood why Qiao Yifan had cast a Ghost Boundary early.
Although Witches could ride brooms and fly, the Ghost Boundary's sealing effect was just as effective in the air. The space where the Dark Boundary was sealed immediately became a forbidden area. Throwing one here would force Kind Tree to circle around, increasing the distance he needed to move. One Inch Ash's second Ghost Boundary appeared at this moment.
Ice Boundary!
Another Ghost Boundary appeared in front of Kind Tree, connecting with the Dark Boundary. It didn't stack, but rather maximized the area the two Ghost Boundaries could cover.
Was the third Ghost Boundary about to appear?
Seeing that One Inch Ash was about to cast another spell, Kind Tree waved his sleeve and an Astral Tablet appeared.
Star Ray!
The Astral Tablet turned into a ray of light, shooting toward One Inch Ash. One Inch Ash dodged, and the casting of the third Ghost Boundary was finally interrupted.
Lightning Chain!
Kind Tree once again tossed his arm into the air. A chain flashing with lightning fell towards One Inch Ash. Most of the Witches' skills were strange magic items, and most of them didn't require casting. This was one of the class's great advantages. This was the only way to achieve Wang Jiexi's magic-like, fast-paced and unpredictable playstyle. Gao Yingjie didn't copy Wang Jiexi's style, but he did his best to bring out the Witch's specialty.
Two magic items in a row, both mid-range attacks, left One Inch Ash with no time to cast another Ghost Boundary. Kind Tree attacked while circling around the Ghost Boundary. But One Inch Ash didn't just stand there and wait for Kind Tree to catch him. As he dodged these attacks, he also moved. Kind Tree moved to the left, while he circled to the right. With the Ghost Boundary between them, Kind Tree couldn't charge straight at him.
But Ghost Boundaries had a time limit. They couldn't last forever. Gao Yingjie watched One Inch Ash closely. He wasn't going to give him another chance to cast. But the problem was … Witches had the advantage of not needing to cast most of their spells. At the same time, they had the disadvantage of having a short attack range with their magic items.
One Inch Ash suddenly retreated a few steps. Gao Yingjie knew with a glance that he was out of attack range. Then, he began to cast.
Another Ghost Boundary fell in front of Kind Tree. Gao Yingjie had no choice but to stop Kind Tree.
Boundary of Silence.
All of the skills of the character within it would be sealed. This kind of situation was undoubtedly fatal in a match of equal skill. Kind Tree was once again blocked on the other side of the Ghost Boundary.
"Qiao Yifan's control isn't bad, but the way he's playing, he's put himself in a passive position from the start!" Ruan Cheng finally had a chance to comment. Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed out Happy's faults.
"Uh, first maintain the balance of the battlefield, then wait for an opportunity to act? Otherwise, how would he fight? If Gao Yingjie's Kind Tree directly kills his way to his side, then he'll lose this match! The current situation should be pretty good. With the characteristics of these two classes, it's not surprising that Phantom Demons are more passive, right? "Li Yibo said.
"That's why, putting a Phantom Demon into the 1v1 lineup is a bit incomprehensible!" Ruan Cheng said.
Li Yibo was speechless. This really was a case of 'the more you're guilty, the more you need to worry about excuses'! In any case, he was just looking for trouble with Happy! Ruan Cheng was a staunch supporter of Happy. All of Glory knew this.
