The 38th round of the Pro League approached with great fanfare. As the finale, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of publicity. After this round, the awards for this season would begin. These awards would be decided based on performance in the regular season. There would be other awards for the playoffs.
The award that attracted the most attention was of course the Most Valuable Player. Many players had been nominated. Even Bai Shu from 301 Degrees, who had only joined the Alliance in winter, was on the list.
Apart from him, Samsara's Zhou Zekai, Blue Rain's Huang Shaotian, Micrograss's Wang Jiexi, Tyranny's Zhang Xinjie, and the other All-Stars had all reported as part of their official duties. Apart from these people, there was the strong return of Team Happy's Ye Xiu.
Even though Team Happy's results weren't as outstanding as those of Samsara and the other powerhouses, as a new team, Happy's record was unprecedented. Ye Xiu's role in the team was obvious to all. If the Alliance considered how difficult it was for Happy to achieve such results, Ye Xiu's win was indisputable. Currently, Ye Xiu's biggest disadvantage was the four consecutive rounds of truce in the final round. Missing such a crucial moment in a match would be very disadvantageous for the Most Valuable Player award.
The Most Valuable Player award had to be considered in many ways. In comparison, other awards that were decided based on results or statistics were much easier.
King of Duels, this award came from the individual competition. Ye Xiu, who had won 36 consecutive rounds of duels, would definitely win this award.
One Hit Kill, this award was decided based on the number of critical hits completed in the team competition. From the current statistics, Zhou Zekai had already won this award a round earlier.
Then there was Star of the Arena, this award was decided based on the group arena. The statistics were calculated based on the health of the opponent. As the final round approached, there was already a clear winner for this award: Team Samsara's Sun Xiang.
Apart from this, awards like Best Duo, Best Rookie, Best Sixth Man, and so on weren't decided based on statistics alone. They needed to be evaluated based on the performance of the players after all 38 rounds.
Everything was waiting for this final battle.
On the evening of the 5th of June, the 20 teams of the Alliance gathered at the home grounds of the 10 teams to begin the 38th round of the competition.
In the end, they chose to broadcast the match between Samsara and Hundred Blossoms. Hundred Blossoms was currently in ninth place. If they wanted to enter the top eight, they would need to obtain one more point than Wind Howl or three more points than Team 301. Last round, they had bravely chased after Tyranny by 7 points after falling behind by 3 points. This made everyone look forward to seeing what kind of stunning performance they would be able to put on in this away game against Samsara. No one had forgotten that Team Samsara's insane winning streak in the first half of the season had been ended by Team Hundred Blossoms. And this battle would be the most important battle of the season for Hundred Blossoms.
In the last round, all the home grounds were full, including the home grounds of Linhai and Ming Qing, the two teams that had been eliminated. Next season, they would not be able to compete in this arena again. The fans sadly came to accompany the team to fight to the last moment, even if it was completely unable to change anything.
8: 30 PM, the ten home grounds, the final round of the competition began on time.
Happy's home ground, Ye Xiu's 37th appearance in the individual competition, challenging his winning streak record. And this time, the Sniper standing in front of him was none other than the highly anticipated player of the second half of the season, Team 301's Knight player, Bai Shu, who had come from the European competition.
The match began quickly. Ye Xiu stuck to his style of map selection until the last round: a simple and clear direct battle map. The two characters faced each other from a distance.
Bai Shu's character, Knight Tide, was clad in silver plate armor. In this small, sunny map, it shone with a dazzling metallic light. The Silver of Life on his shield shone like a mirror.
"This map selection is a bit unlucky!" Fang Rui said from Happy's player area.
"What's wrong?" Chen Guo hurriedly asked.
"It's too bright. It's too dazzling," Fang Rui said.
"Are you talking about the reflection of Tide's equipment?" Chen Guo said.
"Yeah. With Glory's in-game effects, it'll all become distractions," Fang Rui said.
Chen Guo suddenly became anxious. Losing one point wasn't scary, but she really didn't want to see Ye Xiu's winning streak end. She was still brooding over the fact that Ye Xiu hadn't been able to fight in the first round! That meant that he could only win 37 matches in a row, not 38. It was a pity that there was a flaw in his record.
As they spoke, the two characters had already charged to the center.
Boom boom boom!
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim took advantage of the distance advantage to open fire. Three Anti-Tank Missiles whistled through the air.
Charge!
Bai Shu didn't dodge. He directly had Tide Charge. With his shield in front of him, the three Anti-Tank Missiles collided and exploded. The sound of explosions and smoke were instantly left behind. In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides closed. Tide's shield and Life's Silver shone brightly. From Ye Xiu's perspective on the big screen, everyone could see a dazzling flash of light. It was like a Spitfire's flash grenade.
"Look!!" Fang Rui had been paying attention to Ye Xiu's perspective. When he saw it, he immediately raised his hand and pointed for everyone to see.
Heroic Leap!
Bai Shu's Tide flew up. Ye Xiu only saw a flash of light and then nothing else.
Shining Cut!
Ye Xiu used a movement skill and rushed out.
This was an instinctive reaction based on his experience. When the opponent disappeared, no matter where they went, they would always have to keep attacking him. At this moment, keeping himself moving and then looking for the opponent was the right thing to do.
Tide fell from the sky. Lord Grim leapt out from his original position. The two had completed a position swap. After the Shining Cut, Lord Grim immediately jumped into the air and turned around. After Tide appeared in his view, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella transformed into a gun and fired!
Bang!
A bullet flew out. Only one.
But this time, Bai Shu didn't have Tide use his shield to block it.
This was a Spitfire's Incendiary Bullet. A shield wouldn't be able to prevent this from happening.
Tide dodged, dodging the Incendiary Bullet. When a sea of fire appeared on the ground, he had already taken a step out of that area.
Gatling Gun!
Lord Grim activated this skill again. Bullets poured out in torrents. This time, Tide raised his shield and forcefully endured the bullets as he advanced. Tide's Silver Life Shield wasn't as large as the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield form. It couldn't protect his entire body, but when Ye Xiu adjusted his firing angle, trying to send bullets to unprotected areas, Tide caught them all. The Silver Life Shield in his hand also constantly adjusted its position, blocking all of the Gatling Gun's bullets that were constantly changing angles.
"This guy!" Fang Rui exclaimed. Team Wind Howl originally had a Knight in their roster, so he had a good understanding of this class. To be able to use his shield to block all of Ye Xiu's bullets, his fundamentals were truly solid.
And at this moment, from Ye Xiu's perspective, the Silver Life shone brightly again. It had clearly entered a role that could reflect sunlight.
"Huh? This time …" Fang Rui was confused.
"What's wrong?" Chen Guo hastily asked.
"His timing is really bad," Fang Rui expressed.
On the battlefield, Ye Xiu slightly adjusted Lord Grim's position, dodging the Sunlight Reflection and continuing to shoot from afar.
"He didn't do it on purpose," Wei Chen said.
"Who are you talking about?" Chen Guo asked.
"Bai Shu. He wasn't thinking about using his equipment to reflect sunlight. The Sunlight Reflection was unintentional," Wei Chen said.
"Is that so?" Chen Guo looked at Fang Rui. Fang Rui was thinking, so he didn't say anything.
"This foreign player doesn't seem to care about these kinds of tricks!" Wei Chen said.
"Do you think he's like you guys?" Chen Guo ridiculed Wei Chen, while also looking at Fang Rui. When these two played dirty, they had countless tricks up their sleeves.
"I'm looking down on him. Can't you hear my tone?" Wei Chen said.
"… …"
"For the sake of victory, I'm willing to do anything. I hate these kinds of people who don't pretend to be decent when they have tricks up their sleeves," Wei Chen said.
Chen Guo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It wasn't like he was pretending to be decent. Wasn't it fine if he didn't like to use this kind of method to fight?
"Lose! He's definitely going to lose!" Wei Chen cursed.
"I agree with you on this point." Chen Guo nodded.
At this moment, Tide had already closed in on Lord Grim by quite a bit. He raised his hand towards Lord Grim and gave him a Provoke gesture.
Lord Grim immediately rushed towards him uncontrollably. Collapsing Mountain! Ye Xiu directly activated his skill. Lord Grim leapt up and slashed down with Heavy Cleave.
Bang!
A super ear-piercing sound rang out. Bai Shu actually had Tide raise his shield to block the powerful Berserker skill, Collapsing Mountain, while counterattacking with his other hand.
"I'm speechless." Wei Chen said.
"What now?" Chen Guo said.
"Can't you dodge this attack?" Wei Chen said.
"Can't you block with your shield?" Chen Guo said.
"If you block with your shield, you'll still lose health. In a situation where you don't have to lose health at all, why do you have to be so tough?" Wei Chen said.
"I can … … counterattack a bit faster?" Chen Guo's answer was quite decent. Her skill level had improved!
"If you can't take the initiative to counterattack, what's the point of counterattacking?" Wei Chen continued to look down on him.
Indeed, Tide's counterattack after blocking the Collapsing Mountain Strike did not allow him to seize the initiative. Instead, the two of them continued to exchange blows, countering each other's attacks as they came.
"That Provoke is also a bit strange. This is a one on one duel. It's not like the opponent is trying to run away. Why drag him back? Dragging him back is just for close combat. Lord Grim isn't a ranged class. "Wei Chen continued.
Chen Guo was puzzled. According to Wei Chen, this Bai Shu was full of problems! But looking at the match, he wasn't at a disadvantage against Ye Xiu at all! There was still no clue as to who would win this match!
"Don't pay attention to him." Su Mucheng saw Chen Guo's confusion and smiled at her: "They have completely different styles, so I just can't get used to it."
"Is he fighting too righteously?" Luo Ji asked Su Mucheng for guidance, but Wei Chen glared at him, so he didn't dare to say anything else.
"In this duel, the winner has to be decided fair and square like this!" Su Mucheng said.
"So boring." Wei Chen and Fang Rui said in unison.
"I believe that Ye Xiu won't give him such a chance." Wei Chen sincerely expressed, "He has no limits!"
