The two players entered the player booths and the characters loaded in. The match was about to begin.
But at this moment, there was a sudden uproar in the audience. Then, Pan Lin suddenly yelled in the live broadcast: "Am I seeing things!!!"
"What?" Li Yibo was at a loss. The character loading in the beginning was a one in a thousand, so he didn't pay attention.
"..." Pan Lin hesitated. When it came to Lord Grim's character loading screen, there was a flash of equipment. Pan Lin vaguely saw a Level 80 and immediately blurted it out. But the screen changed so quickly that he wasn't sure if he was looking at a crosstalk or something. The character loading was a fixed program, so there wouldn't be any close-ups or anything like that. As a result, Pan Lin didn't say anything. He hurriedly told the broadcast director to show Lord Grim's equipment as soon as the match started.
Happy. The uproar in the audience was also because some people saw the Level 80 characters on Lord Grim's equipment during the character loading screen. One or two people could say that they were seeing things. But those who suspected that they were seeing things soon realized that there were many people who were seeing things today!
The character loading was very fast. The audience didn't have time to figure out what was going on. The character loaded, the character refreshed, and the match officially began. The live broadcast screen quickly showed Lord Grim's equipment.
Boom!!
The competition venue was in an uproar. This time, the audience could see it clearly: Equipment Level: Level 80. And it wasn't just one piece.
Weapon: Myriad Manifestations Umbrella
Top: Chaotic Soul Armor
Shoes: Cloud Breaking Boots
Belt: Lightning Renewal Belt
Cape: Dawn
Emblem: Sky Breaker
Left Ring: Hurricane
Lord Grim had seven pieces of Silver equipment and a Level 80.
"Lord Grim has … Level 80 equipment. What's going on?" Pan Lin saw it clearly this time. He didn't have to doubt his own eyes and could finally shout out loud.
Li Yibo was also completely dumbfounded. Level 80 equipment? What was going on?
Needless to say, the noise in the stadium did not stop for a long time. The whole stadium was buzzing. Everyone was stunned at first, and then they began to discuss crazily.
Even the referee was the same. The moment he saw that the equipment was actually Level 80, his entire body froze. His first thought was, 'Is there a malfunction?' Should we stop the competition for a while?
Then, there were the members of Team Blue Rain. The moment the Level 80 equipment appeared, they were all stunned.
"Level 80 equipment? What's going on? "Huang Shaotian was surprised. Although it wasn't to the extent of crying from fright, he had to admit that the shock that Ye Xiu gave them this time was genuine.
Yu Wenzhou clearly hadn't expected the so-called equipment upgrade to be Level 80, but after a brief moment of surprise, he began to organize his thoughts.
"Is there a problem with the system?" The other members of Blue Rain were suspicious.
Yu Wenzhou didn't think so. The equipment and system used in the competition had to be checked before the competition to ensure that the competition would proceed smoothly. The hardware suddenly malfunctioning during a match had happened before, but when it came to data errors, it had never happened even once in the Pro Alliance's ten years of history. How could it be so coincidental that it happened today?
"The character is Level 75. There's no mistake about that." Yu Wenzhou didn't think about the accident. He began to analyze the situation logically.
"A Level 75 character with Level 80 equipment. The equipment must have a 'Level Requirement -5' attribute." Yu Wenzhou quickly thought of this point.
"But how did this Level 80 equipment come into being? That's inconceivable." Of course, Yu Wenzhou didn't know this. If he did, Team Blue Rain probably would've made Level 80 equipment a long time ago.
"Happy's R&D department is so capable?" Huang Shaotian exclaimed. To be able to make Level 80 equipment, they had left all the other powerhouses in the dust.
There were discussions everywhere. After Yu Wenzhou, commentator Pan Lin and Li Yibo quickly analyzed the problem of relying on the attribute of "Level Requirement Reduction by 5 Levels" to achieve the usage of Level 80 equipment. This reasoning was obvious. But after that, no one could say how Happy had made Level 80 equipment in a Level 75 environment.
"Is this Happy's big move for the playoffs?" Pan Lin yelled in the broadcast.
"Level 80 equipment? How did he do that? "
The match was still going on. After the referee confirmed with the R&D that there were no problems, he naturally had no reason to stop the match. At this moment, Song Xiao was just as surprised to see his opponent's Level 80 equipment.
"Scared?" Ye Xiu replied.
"But I still have to brace myself!" Song Xiao replied.
As expected of the most famous player in the Alliance, Mister Clutch. Facing Ye Xiu, who had won 37 consecutive 1v1 matches this season, and facing Level 80 equipment, Song Xiao expressed his shock, but he quickly calmed down. Brace myself? That was just a comment. He still treated this as a normal match and still wanted to win.
"Come on!" Ye Xiu called out. The two characters charged out.
In the group arena, the map selection couldn't be based solely on Ye Xiu's needs. A clean and simple map like him and Tang Rou might be able to fight to their heart's content, but if Fang Rui wanted to play dirty, it wouldn't be easy to fight.
As a result, the map selection for the group arena had to be based on the needs of everyone on the team, so it was usually a map with a lot of content.
However, it seemed like Ye Xiu and Song Xiao didn't want to take advantage of this type of map. The two charged straight for the center of the stage.
Just as everyone was looking forward to seeing what a character with Level 80 equipment would look like, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim made a turn.
Ye Xiu, who had persisted for 37 rounds, suddenly changed tactics in the first 1v1 match of the playoffs.
"Ye Xiu avoided a direct confrontation," Pan Lin said.
"That's a wise decision." Li Yibo said, "The group arena is different from the individual competition. The goal is to take down the opponent with as little damage as possible, so if possible, it's very important to use the terrain to your advantage. Offensive players are actually the least suited for the group arena. In the individual competition, they can attack a thousand times and lose eight hundred times. That's the same as winning the match without losing a single drop of health. They'll only get one point. But in the group arena, those two outcomes are completely different. "
"However, there are still many teams that have strong offensive players in their lineup! It doesn't seem like they're purposely avoiding having these types of players in their lineup, "Pan Lin said.
"Offensive players are the style of these types of players, but it's not fixed. In the group arena, offensive players can play smarter. Just like Ye Xiu. In the individual competition during the regular season, he's always been aggressive. But now that he's in the group arena, he's immediately become more flexible, "Li Yibo said.
"But some players seem to be aggressive in the group arena as well," Pan Lin said.
"Yeah, nothing's absolute! Different situations sometimes require different attitudes, "Li Yibo said.
At this point, the two of them stopped chatting. At this moment, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim made a left turn and moved to the right of Song Xiao's Luosamin. But because Ye Xiu had only changed directions after the two sides had met, Song Xiao knew exactly where Ye Xiu was going to go. He had been guarding against this side for a long time.
However, Ye Xiu wasn't like many other dirty players who hid themselves and waited patiently for an opportunity. From a gap in the wing, Lord Grim decisively revealed himself. Boom! Boom! Boom! Three Anti-Tank Missiles flew over.
Song Xiao was staring over. He saw Lord Grim as soon as he revealed himself. Three Anti-Tank Missiles couldn't even be considered a sneak attack. In the end …
Boom!
Receding Tides was actually hit by one of the missiles. The shockwave from the explosion pushed him back a few steps, but Receding Tides' body was very steady. He calmly controlled himself.
"He did it on purpose!" Li Yibo immediately saw through it.
"Oh?"
"He was testing the power of Lord Grim's attacks," Li Yibo said. He had changed too many pieces of equipment and his stats had changed drastically. Even though he could still see his stats, he still needed to test how much attack power he had. Song Xiao knew that he had taken this hit. This was also information for Team Blue Rain. In the future, they would have to face Ye Xiu's Lord Grim again and again. They needed to quickly build up their information.
"Yeah, Lord Grim changed so many pieces of equipment in one go. He's really awesome. All of the teams' research on him in the regular season has been wasted. Everything will have to start from scratch, "Pan Lin said.
"What's even more troublesome is that the different forms of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella have different stats. It's even more troublesome to control," Li Yibo said.
"Happy! What a ruthless move!" Pan Lin said.
"Right now, we just don't know if Lord Grim has improved or if Happy has improved all of the characters," Li Yibo said.
"We'll find out in a bit." Pan Lin was a bit excited.
"Yeah, after Ye Xiu was attacked by Lord Grim, he went into hiding again," Li Yibo returned to the match.
"Song Xiao doesn't seem to be in a rush to make a move. Is he trying to decipher the damage from Lord Grim's attack? Coach Li, what do you think of this attack? "Pan Lin said.
"Ah … this attack's damage is clearly much higher than before," Li Yibo said. This season's commentary had made him feel more and more like he wasn't good enough. He was already preparing to learn more. But if you were to say that you could see this change from one attack, it wasn't a simple matter. This was determined by both the attacking character's attack power and the defending character's defense.
Li Yibo and the others were the same as the audience. They didn't know the character's true stats, so it was impossible for them to make an accurate deduction from one attack. Team Blue Rain's players at least knew their own character's defense, so they could make a deduction based on the damage. As for the other spectators? In their eyes, Lord Grim had met a hundred opponents, so there were a hundred different levels of damage. It was very difficult to determine the true stats of Lord Grim's attack power.
Li Yibo wanted to learn more, but he couldn't figure out such a difficult thing so quickly, unless there was a team willing to provide him with the information.
Unfortunately, there was no such thing. As a result, he could only conclude that Lord Grim's attack power was much higher than before, but this was undoubtedly nonsense. After changing out so many Level 80 equipment, why wouldn't his attack power be higher?
