The second round was Happy's away game. They had already flown to City G, where Team Blue Rain was located, a day earlier. They rested for the night to relieve the fatigue of the journey. The next morning, they warmed up and warmed up their hands in the temporary training room specially prepared for the away team. In the afternoon, there weren't any unified arrangements. Everyone found their own way to relax and adjust their state of mind. When it was time, they would go to the competition venue to familiarize themselves with the environment. Then, they would prepare for the competition at night.
After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Wei Chen stood by the window of his hotel room with a cigarette in his mouth. He stared blankly out the window.
"It's not the second time we've been here, and it's not the second time we've stayed here. What are you so sad about?" Ye Xiu said beside him. Just like in Shang Lin Court, he and Wei Chen were in the same room.
"Last time I was here, I don't think I went to take a look at the team," Wei Chen said.
"Do you want to go take a look?" Ye Xiu asked. He knew that the team Wei Chen was talking about was Team Blue Rain.
"I didn't want to at first, but after the last round, I suddenly wanted to," Wei Chen said.
"I understand." Ye Xiu nodded.
"You understand?" Wei Chen turned around in surprise.
"I played very well in the last round, so I want to show off in front of those guys again." Ye Xiu's face said, "I understand."
"Get lost!" Wei Chen was annoyed.
"If you want to go, then go. Why are you hesitating? What's the big deal?" Ye Xiu said and ignored him. He lowered his head and prepared to take an afternoon nap. Wei Chen stood outside the window and hesitated for a while. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he took a deep puff of the cigarette butt, put it out, and went out.
Ye Xiu slept for the whole afternoon. When he woke up, Chen Guo had already come over to ask everyone to go to the competition venue to familiarize themselves with it. Wei Chen had already returned, as if nothing had happened. Did you go? Ye Xiu did not ask, nor did he say anything. Happy, after everyone had gathered, they left the hotel together and headed to Blue Rain's competition venue, Xiaochuan Stadium.
The last time they were here, they were still a little unfamiliar with it. This was the second time they were here. Under the guidance of the staff, Happy and the others entered the arena. All the facilities needed for the competition had been prepared. Happy and the rest of the team were just walking around and imagining the atmosphere. This was something that was often done in the regular season, so everyone was no stranger to it. Whether it was useful or not, no one could say for sure. Since everyone would do this, there would definitely not be any losses.
"Coming!" Happy's team was wandering around when they suddenly heard someone call out to them. They all turned around and saw Blue Rain's captain, Yu Wenzhou. One person stood quietly at the side and watched Happy's team. That greeting didn't sound like an opponent, but more like a host greeting a guest.
"Mm, coming." On Happy's side, Ye Xiu responded.
"Good luck and get ready." Yu Wenzhou nodded and then left without bothering Happy.
"What's he doing?" Chen Guo asked Ye Xiu. The home team's players usually did not go out of their way to familiarize themselves with the arena. Of course, there were some players who had special hobbies, but Yu Wenzhou didn't seem to have any special habits.
"Who knows? He's just walking around!" Ye Xiu watched Yu Wenzhou leave.
The next time he saw Blue Rain's captain, it was already night time before the match. The two teams were lined up in the player passageway, waiting to enter the arena.
"Work hard."
"Good luck."
The two team captains in front of the line encouraged each other on behalf of their respective teams. The atmosphere was quite harmonious. Then the two teams entered the arena. Everything was the same, nothing special. Blue Rain had lost the previous round, so they had to win today's match no matter what. From the moment the players entered the arena, Blue Rain's fans exploded.
In order to cheer their team on today, Blue Rain had made special arrangements. The guild leader, Changing Spring, had arranged for people to be assigned to different areas of the stadium. These loyal fans were like the locomotive of a train, driving the atmosphere of the stadium.
As for Changing Spring himself, he sat in the east stands, directly facing the west stands.
The west stands were for Team Blue Rain's away team fans, while the east stands were for Blue Rain's hardcore fans. Over here, they could have a face-to-face confrontation with the away team's fans.
With Blue Rain's fans erupting, Team Happy on the west stands wasn't to be outdone. Even though they couldn't gain the upper hand due to their numbers disadvantage, they still had to let the other side know of their existence. Happy's fans in the playoffs were personally organized by Wu Chen. At this moment, he was also in the west stands. Beside him were Thousand Creations, Horse Shooter, Seven Fields, Sleeping Moon, and the other core members of Happy's guild. Everyone had made ample preparations and had excellent equipment. They had all sorts of eye-catching equipment, creating noise, and quickly began a confrontation with the home fans.
"Wow, the two teams have only just entered the arena, and the fans are already opposing each other! It looks like today's match will be exceptionally exciting! "Pan Lin said, feeling the atmosphere of the stadium.
"Blue Rain has no way out. They'll definitely go all out in this match." Li Yibo said.
"However, Happy only won by a narrow margin last time. Blue Rain doesn't need to feel too much pressure, right?" Pan Lin said.
"If you're only saying that they don't need to feel pressured, then they should do their best at all times. But if you're saying that Happy only won by a narrow margin, so they let their guard down and aren't nervous enough, then that kind of mentality would be terrible. I believe that Blue Rain shouldn't be like that. Whether they won by a narrow margin or by a narrow margin, Blue Rain's current situation is exactly the same. "Li Yibo said.
"You're right. Right now, the players on both sides have already returned to their respective player booths. The match will begin soon. In the group arena, Happy's side will probably send Ye Xiu out first, no? Then in their home game, who will Blue Rain send to deal with Ye Xiu? The first point will have a huge impact on their morale! "Pan Lin said.
"But they still need to be careful. What if Happy doesn't send Ye Xiu out first? If that's the case, then Blue Rain's plans to target them might fall through and ruin their own rhythm, "Li Yibo said.
"Then what will Blue Rain do?" Pan Lin said.
"There's no way to completely overcome it. We'll have to see what they choose. This … is the pressure of a top player! "Li Yibo said.
"Alright, let's wait and see. Will Happy continue to send Ye Xiu out first, and what will Blue Rain do? There's still five minutes until the match begins. "Pan Lin said.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye. The referee came over to greet them, and the two teams began sending out their players.
"Ye Xiu, you're still Ye Xiu!" Pan Lin shouted. On Happy's side, Ye Xiu had already stood up.
"What about Blue Rain? Who will Blue Rain send out? " Pan Lin looked at Blue Rain's side, but he didn't get an answer for a long time. At this point, the names had already appeared on the big screen.
Happy, Ye Xiu, Lord Grim.
Blue Rain, Yu Wenzhou, Swoksaar.
It was as if the broadcast had suddenly been cut off, entering a five-second silence.
Pan Lin's mouth hung open, but he couldn't say anything for a long time. When the names appeared on the big screen, the entire stadium fell silent.
"Yu … Yu Wenzhou?" Pan Lin tried hard to confirm the name on the big screen again, and then he looked at Team Blue Rain's side. Yu Wenzhou was already walking towards the stage.
Yes, it was Yu Wenzhou.
In reality, when Ye Xiu stood up, Yu Wenzhou on Blue Rain's side had already stood up. Pan Lin had already seen him through the camera, but … he hadn't expected Yu Wenzhou to be Blue Rain's player. He had subconsciously assumed that Yu Wenzhou had stood up to give up his seat, or that the captain had something to say to the player. Who would have thought that Yu Wenzhou himself was going to fight?
Yu Wenzhou … was going to fight one-on-one?
After being speechless for five seconds, Pan Lin stuttered out Yu Wenzhou's name. After that, he was speechless for another five seconds. Only then did he come back to his senses and shout out in disbelief.
"Yu Wenzhou, it's actually Yu Wenzhou. Team Blue Rain's first player in the group arena, facing off against Happy Ye Xiu, is actually Yu Wenzhou? Coach Li! " Pan Lin finally called out to Li Yibo heavily. His meaning was clear: this is such a big deal, hurry up and say a few words!
"This really is a very unexpected arrangement." Li Yibo did his best to calm himself down. He wouldn't be like Pan Lin, who was always brimming with passion. He wanted to show off his higher level of skill!
"Yu Wenzhou, in my memory … I can't even remember the last time I saw him fight one-on-one," Li Yibo said.
"His sudden appearance today should be an arrangement to deal with Happy Ye Xiu going first, right?" Pan Lin said.
"I think that should be the case …"
"Has Yu Wenzhou found some sort of trick to deal with the unspecialized Lord Grim?" Pan Lin said.
"This … there shouldn't be any sort of trick, right?" Li Yibo said.
"Then what exactly is his intention?" Pan Lin said.
Li Yibo couldn't answer. He really couldn't answer. Yu Wenzhou, who hadn't fought in an official match for who knew how long, was actually going to challenge Ye Xiu today. He was going to challenge this season's King of Duels, the unspecialized Lord Grim, the unspecialized who had made countless players' hands ache …
Before anyone could come back to their senses, the two characters had finished loading, and the match had officially begun.
"The match has begun. The match has begun. Happy Ye Xiu versus Blue Rain's Yu Wenzhou. This is a match that has appeared in the group arena. I don't think I need to describe how unusual this match is, right?" Pan Lin yelled.
"Hey!"
At this moment, the two players who had entered the match began chatting in the chat. The first to send out a message was Ye Xiu.
"You bastard, you're too daring!" Ye Xiu said.
"I'll give it a try," Yu Wenzhou said.
"If I let you win, where would the faces of so many people in the pro circle go? This season's King of Duels, in the end, will be taken by you? "Ye Xiu said.
"Don't overlook this possibility," Yu Wenzhou said.
"What's your hand speed? Two hundred?" Ye Xiu said.
"So-so!" Yu Wenzhou replied.
