The match officially began.
Mo Fan was no stranger to this map. After the match began, he quickly and skillfully went around the side path, choosing the right path that Ye Xiu had chosen in the previous match.
And Huang Shaotian did the same as last match, directly cutting into the middle path. The difference was that this time, Huang Shaotian wasn't as silent as last match. As soon as the match began, he began chatting happily with Mo Fan. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Mo Fan didn't even respond with a single punctuation mark or emoticon.
"Ah, so silent. Why aren't you saying anything? Don't be nervous, newbie. Just treat this as a normal match. Chatting properly can help you relax! " Huang Shaotian was like a benevolent senior, patiently enticing the newbie. However, Troubling Rain's Ice Rain flashed from time to time. On the big screen, Huang Shaotian's view constantly adjusted, paying special attention to the two ends of the path. No one doubted that when he met Mo Fan's Deception, he would immediately put away all of his benevolence.
And after a few matches, everyone had a certain understanding of Happy's map selection style.
The map's structure was relatively simple. The main path in the middle directly separated the spawn points of the two teams, and at the same time, became a dividing line on the map. And then the left and right, which were the east and west ends, were two different topographical structures, but at the same time, the north and south sides were symmetrical.
If Huang Shaotian had his character directly walk down the middle path, there would be many ambush points to choose from. Ye Xiu had been taking advantage of this point the entire time, and Mo Fan was also taking advantage of this topographical structure.
"The two sides are getting closer!" Pan Lin said. In this sort of situation, a bird's eye view of the map would show the two characters getting closer and closer.
"Where will Mo Fan choose as an ambush point? To be honest, I feel like Huang Shaotian has already grasped this map. No matter which end, it'll be hard for him to find an ambush point, "Pan Lin said.
"Yes, that's probably why Huang Shaotian still chose the middle. This was because he already had a good understanding of the two ends of this road. On the other hand, if he entered from the east and west sides to fight with his opponent, there might be some gaps in the terrain. If that's the case, why don't we fight in a place we're familiar with? "Li Yibo said.
"So you're saying that Mo Fan is at a disadvantage because he's trying to ambush them from both sides?" said Pan Lin.
"If he insists on doing so … But I don't think he doesn't know this. Even if he's inexperienced as a new player, I believe Happy has given him enough warning," Li Yibo said.
Apart from Happy Teammate, no one knew Mo Fan's personality. It was just that from the competition, he didn't seem like a person who liked to talk. Who would have thought that this person was even more silent than Zhou Zekai? He was simply refusing to communicate with anyone.
Happy Teammate had obviously reminded Li Yibo about the problem that Mo Fan had mentioned. Fang Rui, Su Mucheng, and the others had all come up with a single word, "Mmm."
However, Mo Fan was still trying to find an ambush point from both sides. Happy Teammate Fang Rui was already stomping his feet.
"That kid only knows how to act cool. Did he not hear what we were talking about?" yelled Fang Rui.
"Perhaps he has his own thoughts!" said Su Mucheng. It was true that Mo Fan did not like to communicate with others, but he would never reject someone's suggestion. He was a little uncomfortable with Ye Xiu in the beginning, but his attitude toward Ye Xiu had gradually changed, let alone the others. If he didn't want to listen to what she and Fang Rui had said, he might have ignored Su Mucheng and Fang Rui's words and just continued doing his own thing. Since he had already heard a "Mmm," he definitely took it to heart. Would Mo Fan be in the mood to do something so perfunctory?
"Stinking brat, I'd like to see what he's thinking," said Fang Rui.
The two characters were getting closer and closer, but it seemed like Mo Fan had yet to choose a spot.
"What's wrong? Is Mo Fan a little nervous, so he can't choose a spot?" asked Pan Lin.
"I feel like he's not in a hurry to choose a spot?" Li Yibo said, "It seems like he knows that the ambush points on both sides have been seen through by the opponent, so he doesn't plan on setting up another ambush."
"Then what's the point of him taking a roundabout route?" said Pan Lin.
"At least he doesn't want to fight the opponent head on!" said Li Yibo.
"Okay … let's keep watching," said Pan Lin.
However, the topic had only stopped for five seconds when Pan Lin suddenly thought of something. "Hey! Right, let's take a look at Mo Fan's equipment first! "
"Oh!" Li Yibo facepalmed. He had forgotten about that too. Everyone had been so immersed in the pace of the match that Ye Xiu had brought them that they had forgotten about Happy's equipment. Lord Grim had changed a lot of his equipment, but what about Mo Fan's Deception? They had forgotten to take note of it when their characters loaded onto the stage.
"Level 80!" The broadcast cut to Deception's equipment list to match the two characters.
If it was Silver equipment, there was no need to click on it. The other stats were all hidden. The name and level were all directly displayed in the list.
Weapons obviously received the most attention, so they were at the top of the list.
Ninja Sword: Sixteen Leaves.
"Sixteen Leaves, what a strange name!" Pan Lin mumbled. The names of Silver equipment were generated by the Glory system. Sometimes, it would match the equipment's stats or aura, and sometimes, it would make people think hard about the logic behind it. Just from the name alone, it was hard to figure out anything. However, this was another piece of Level 80 equipment. There was no doubt about it.
Then, Mo Fan had three pieces of Level 80 Silver equipment: shoes, emblem, and cloak. Compared to Lord Grim, it was a bit lacking, but as a rotational character, it wouldn't be strange for him to have this kind of gap with a core character.
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen much of Lord Grim's equipment yet!" Pan Lin suddenly thought of the previous match. In the beginning, everyone wanted to know how much stronger Lord Grim's Level 80 equipment made him, but after three matches, they really couldn't see how much of an advantage Ye Xiu's equipment gave him. Everyone had a feeling that even if Lord Grim didn't have such an increase in equipment, it probably wouldn't be too surprising to see this kind of situation.
"Lord Grim's attack power has increased, that's very clear. As for the other small changes in his stats, it's not clear yet. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's weapon forms also haven't revealed any additional stats. Currently, we've only seen the Gun form's Laser Cannon and the Priest class's Prayer of Hope, "Li Yibo said.
"Ye Xiu … he wasn't holding back, was he?" Pan Lin suddenly had this feeling. "The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's powerful skills are crucial to his fighting style. I think Team Blue Rain will definitely want to see what powerful skills the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella has in the group arena, but in the end, Ye Xiu only used two of them. He hid them too well. Blue Rain can only be wary of them in the team competition," Pan Lin said.
"That's right." Li Yibo nodded, "In the group arena, Ye Xiu won beautifully, but he didn't give out much information. I don't know how much Blue Rain saw. But when it comes to the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's weapon skills, they'll definitely have a headache. "
"Ah! Right now, Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain and Mo Fan's Deception have already brushed past each other. As expected, Mo Fan didn't set up an ambush. "Pan Lin returned to the match.
"Troubling Rain's movements have become even more careful. It looks like Huang Shaotian really does know that the following areas are all possible ambush points. Hey, Coach Li, if that's the case, then at the beginning, there should be a portion of the distance where they won't be ambushed. But from what I remember, Huang Shaotian was also very careful around that area! "Pan Lin suddenly had some doubts.
"He wasn't being on guard. He was using his own perspective to give more information about the map to his teammates!" Li Yibo said.
"Oh, so that's how it is. What a dependable and attentive team!" Pan Lin sighed.
"Yes," Li Yibo said.
On the field, Troubling Rain had already rushed past Deception's horizontal coordinates and was now continuing to advance. As for Deception, he had begun to quietly move towards the edge of the main road, as if he wanted to find a place to ambush.
"Is he planning on waiting for Huang Shaotian to go there and not be able to find him, then returning to make his move?" Pan Lin guessed.
Li Yibo shook his head and didn't say anything. He also didn't know what Mo Fan was planning.
"What is this kid planning?" Let alone Li Yibo, even Mo Fan's teammates, who knew what he was planning, were trying to figure it out!
But afterwards, Mo Fan still didn't choose a place for Deception. After moving to the edge of the map, he began to move towards Troubling Rain.
"Is he planning on going around to ambush him?" Pan Lin continued to guess.
The back was the biggest blind spot, and there was also the bonus damage from attacking from the back. Going around to ambush him was obviously the most practical option. But because of this, as a pro player, he would never let down his guard, especially in a 1v1 situation where he didn't have teammates to rely on and didn't know the opponent's position.
"I hope he won't rush up like this … Huang Shaotian is on guard," Ye Xiu said.
"Yeah, he's always looking around from the corner of his eye. Even though he can't see clearly, it's enough to prevent him from going around," Fang Rui said.
Hearing the two's worries, Chen Guo suddenly became nervous. Seeing Deception chase after him step by step, she really wanted to jump up and yell into his ear, "Be careful, don't go up like this!"
"You brat, where are you hiding? You're actually so patient, still not showing your face? "Huang Shaotian said.
"How long has it been? Do you want to get a yellow card? Referee, give him a yellow card! "Huang Shaotian continued to swipe.
A yellow card suddenly appeared and was given to Huang Shaotian.
"Uh …" Huang Shaotian didn't refute or explain. He clearly already knew.
This was the playoffs, not the All-Star Competition. Even if the referee knew that this guy was just spouting nonsense, there was absolutely no tolerance for this type of words that led the referee to make a call. As long as he dared to say it, he would definitely get a yellow card.
"Look, I've already gotten a yellow card for you. Why aren't you coming out?" Huang Shaotian didn't dare talk to the referee anymore. He immediately pointed at Mo Fan and began to swipe.
