Phantom Demons were indeed more valuable in a team, but if you thought they were weaker in a 1v1, that would be nonsense. Perhaps many players would think so, but that was only because a Phantom Demon would be more difficult in a 1v1. In addition, Micrograss was a rather monotonous map, which wasn't good for a Phantom Demon's performance.
Under these conditions, Qiao Yifan was still able to set up Ghost Boundaries, making it so that Gao Yingjie couldn't launch an effective attack. This should have been something worth praising. Emphasizing that Qiao Yifan was on the defensive was a bit of a bone in an egg.
With Ruan Cheng's skill level, it wasn't like he didn't know this, but he stubbornly pointed out Happy's flaws because in his eyes, Happy was more likely to lose this match.
His skill level wasn't as good as the opponent's genius.
The difficulty of a Phantom Demon in a 1v1.
And the disadvantages of the map.
With so many disadvantages, how could Happy not lose?
Qiao Yifan's current performance was somewhat out of Ruan Cheng's expectations. However, this was only to maintain the balance of the map. For this, Qiao Yifan had already put in a lot of effort. As for Gao Yingjie? It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was biding his time. As long as Qiao Yifan made the slightest mistake, he would immediately launch a fierce attack.
Hurry up, hurry up and make a mistake!
Ruan Cheng yelled in his heart.
But as he shouted in his heart, the Ghost Boundaries on the field blossomed one after another, like a never-ending river, blocking between One Inch Ash and Kind Tree.
Ruan Cheng's expression gradually changed.
Biding his time?
Things weren't that simple. For Qiao Yifan to play so meticulously, Gao Yingjie wasn't just moving around casually. He had to make a lot of decisions and decisions.
Kind Tree's movements and long-range attacks were constantly trying to break Qiao Yifan's rhythm. Qiao Yifan was indeed on the defensive, but he was using defense as an attack. The rhythm of the match was in his hands.
"I've always felt that Happy's Qiao Yifan was an underestimated player," Li Yibo sighed.
"But if he keeps defending like this, can he win this match?" Pan Lin raised a very important question. Although Qiao Yifan used defense to attack and controlled the rhythm of the battle. However, his One Inch Ash didn't have any offensive capabilities. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to win.
Li Yibo frowned. Qiao Yifan should know the answer to this question, right? But he had been trying so hard to maintain such a scene. What exactly was his plan?
Right at this moment, Ruan Cheng suddenly shouted, "A mistake!"
The reason why Ruan Cheng was so agitated was naturally because of Qiao Yifan's mistake. Gao Yingjie immediately took advantage of the gap in the Ghost Boundaries that had been seamlessly connected because he had been a little slow in controlling the timing of the spell. Mu En swept up a whirlwind and flew over at an extremely low altitude before the ghost boundary intercepted him.
"I knew it! Qiao Yifan's passive fighting style is simply not a way to obtain victory. If he makes the slightest mistake, he will immediately be caught by Gao Yingjie. "Ruan Cheng was immensely pleased with himself, his mouth full of nonsense. Pan Lin and Li Yibo both felt a little sorry for Qiao Yifan, but Ruan Cheng's words weren't without reason. Naturally, they couldn't directly argue with him in the broadcast.
Mu En passed through the ghost boundary's blockade. A handful of Frost Powder had already scattered onto his broom Morning Dew. At this moment, One Inch Ash rolled horizontally.
The terrain of this map was simple. There wasn't much cover, but it wasn't completely without cover. With this roll, One Inch Ash flashed behind a broken stone pillar. When he crouched down, his entire body was immediately covered.
This is?
Gao Yingjie's heart stirred. After Qiao Yifan used the terrain to cover himself, he immediately took note of this area's terrain.
No!
Gao Yingjie hurriedly had Mu En throw out a Lava Flask.
The flask fell to the ground and shattered. The lava in the flask instantly transformed into a large expanse of lava. One Inch Ash, who was hiding behind the stone pillar, was naturally within this range.
However, just as the lava was about to burn One Inch Ash, a sword light flashed behind the stone pillar. A ghost boundary descended first.
As expected.
Seeing the ghost boundary descend, Gao Yingjie didn't seem to have thought at all. Mu En had already darted in a certain direction.
"Beautiful!" Li Yibo also shouted, but this shout wasn't to praise Gao Yingjie's quick reaction. Because when this ghost boundary descended, the situation immediately became much clearer. One Inch Ash's previous set up, in addition to this ghost boundary that had just descended, had already squeezed Mu En into a small space.
That ghost boundary that seemed like a mistake definitely wasn't a mistake. That was bait! Qiao Yifan had seen that there was cover here, and knew that there was a chance to cast a ghost boundary like this.
Gao Yingjie must have also been there, and after seeing One Inch Ash's actions, he reacted somewhat. Unfortunately, Mu En's Lava Flask was still a bit too slow. The ghost boundary descended first. Gao Yingjie could only helplessly have Mu En go to the position that Qiao Yifan wanted him to go. As for the damage that the Lava Flask dealt to One Inch Ash, it wasn't that important anymore. It was just a bit of damage.
Li Yibo glanced at Ruan Cheng to the side, and he was in a good mood.
Face slapping, what a familiar face slapping! It was just that he was always the one getting slapped. Today, there was finally someone to block the bullet hole. With this person as a foil, even if he didn't say anything, he would seem especially wise and farsighted. Originally, Li Yibo had been a bit unhappy about having another guest, but at this moment, he really liked Ruan Cheng sitting on the field, dauntlessly stepping forward to block these dangers.
Ruan Cheng's expression was naturally very ugly, but the match wasn't over yet. What would happen next? Li Yibo and Ruan Cheng were both professionals. At this point, the two of them could already see what was going to happen next. Next, Qiao Yifan needed to set up another ghost boundary to completely trap Gao Yingjie's Mu En. However, the previous area had already turned into lava, and the continuous damage caused One Inch Ash to temporarily be unable to cast. If he directly attacked Mu En, he would definitely be interrupted.
Cover, One Inch Ash still needed a place to hide, so everyone's gazes turned towards the ruins. There was another broken pillar eight units away from where One Inch Ash was hiding.
"Qiao Yifan must have predicted all of this beforehand. He really thought about it too thoroughly." The broadcast gave a close-up of this key location, and Pan Lin immediately said.
"One of his main goals when he used the ghost boundaries to control the balance of the battlefield was probably to find a place where he could set up his strategy. It's really hard for him on this map. " Li Yibo said indifferently, while giving Ruan Cheng a "what do you think?" look.
Ruan Cheng cursed in his heart. Li Yibo's words were a small slap to his face!
"From Gao Yingjie's decisiveness in dodging the ghost boundaries, I think he already saw through Qiao Yifan's strategy. Eight units away, would Gao Yingjie give him that chance? "Ruan Cheng was still supporting Gao Yingjie.
Just as the three were discussing this, One Inch Ash suddenly rushed out, his target precisely that broken pillar eight units away.
However, Gao Yingjie's Mu En was already one step faster. He threw a floating blue object at the top of the pillar. Soon, a dark cloud of blue light appeared above the pillar, and then, fine blue raindrops flashed with icy light as they fell.
Frost Rain!
Gao Yingjie didn't try to race One Inch Ash, nor did he try to force his way through. He simply threw out another skill. The broken pillar could still be used as cover, but if one wanted to hide behind it and cast spells, with this continuous attack, it naturally wouldn't work. However, what no one expected was that Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash had only run three steps in that direction, and before the blue raindrops had even landed, he had already turned back.
One Inch Ash had actually once again returned to the pillar he had been hiding behind. The lava was right beneath his feet, but no attack skill had an infinite duration. As soon as One Inch Ash retreated and hid, the lava on the ground had already turned from bright red to dull, and soon fell silent.
Not good!
Gao Yingjie had just had his Mu En cast Frost Rain, but he hadn't expected Qiao Yifan to create a diversion. Gao Yingjie hurriedly had Mu En attack again. However, for a Witch, instant skills were indeed instant cast, but the time it took for those magic items to be thrown out and for them to be displayed was enough time for Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash to throw out another ghost boundary.
Star Refraction!
When Mu En's Star Card was thrown to an angle, and then turned into a line of magic that shot towards One Inch Ash behind the pillar, the new ghost boundary had already been cast.
This time, Mu En had nowhere to run. One Inch Ash set up ghost boundaries one after another, and at this moment, they connected into a large formation, trapping Mu En within.
One Inch Ash stepped forward.
After trapping the opponent in one's own chain of ghost boundaries, for a Phantom Demon, half of the match was already won.
Qiao Yifan didn't show any mercy just because the opponent in front of him was a good friend. He meticulously controlled, summoning new ghost boundaries, perfecting them. At this moment, he had many openings to cast spells. He didn't need to search for some pitiful cover on this map. His ghost boundaries had finally become his most reliable and sturdy cover.
Qiao Yifan wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
It hadn't been easy for him to get to where he was today. If he hadn't met Ye Xiu and met with Team Happy, he might not have been a pro player anymore.
And now, he had gone from being an insignificant player abandoned by one team to a core member of another team. And now, he had a chance to defeat the guy who had been called a genius in his former team.
How could he let go of this opportunity?
Qiao Yifan wanted to do it. He wanted to let everyone know that he could do it. Including his opponent in front of him, his best friend. He only regretted that this feeling of victory was something that they had often talked about together, but never had the chance to create together. And now, the way to create it was to defeat the opponent.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that I won't be able to share this feeling of victory with you.
In the second round of the individual competition, Team Happy, Qiao Yifan won.
