Yu Wenzhou had been playing for so many years. His hand speed was a statistic. It wasn't a secret how fast Yu Wenzhou's hand speed was. Anyone who wanted to know would know. As his opponent, there was no way he wouldn't care about this statistic. Ye Xiu's question was clearly meant to mock him.
Generally speaking, 200 APM was the dividing line between professionals and amateurs. Of course, this 200 APM referred to effective operations, not random operations for the sake of increasing APM.
Yu Wenzhou was considered a handicapped player by the standards of the pro scene. Nowadays, it was common for pro players to have an average hand speed of three hundred or four hundred. Yu Wenzhou had worked very hard to reach two hundred, but his normal hand speed was below two hundred. It was no wonder that he was thought to have no future. Compared to the freakish hand speed pro players around him, he was just too different.
But if it was a normal player, they wouldn't have the right to mock him.
For normal players, their effective hand speed hovered around one hundred. Above one hundred and two hundred, they were considered experts. Glory was a very complicated game. There were many people with fast hands, but those who could reasonably display their hand speed in this game were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Yu Wenzhou's hand speed normally hit two hundred. In other words, his hand speed was at the level of an expert player. But at this level, he became a pro player, a member of the Golden Generation, an All Star player, a Master Tactician, and the captain of a powerhouse Team Blue Rain …
Yu Wenzhou's story was very inspirational. His deeds made many players, who didn't have much talent for hand speed, believe that they too could achieve something. It had to be said that this misunderstanding was very deep. They happily found similarities with God Ye Xiu, but that was only a flaw. A flaw in itself didn't mean anything. Yu Wenzhou's current position wasn't one in ten thousand because of his flaws. It was because he had worked hard in other areas to make up for his flaws.
There were many, many Glory players with this kind of hand speed.
But out of so many, only Yu Wenzhou could do it.
And now, Yu Wenzhou did something he hadn't done in so many years.
A 1v1, and it was in the playoffs, and it was against the best 1v1 player of the season.
"Eh … this map …" After chatting for a while, Ye Xiu finally noticed the map Team Blue Rain had chosen for the group arena.
Dense forest fog.
The terrain of the Forest map was relatively simple. It was long and narrow from north to south. Compared to a normal forest, this map's other characteristic was reflected in its name: Fog.
The dense forest and the layers of twilight made this map a very limited view. It was more suited for sneak attacks and not for long-ranged classes. While Ye Xiu was still mocking Yu Wenzhou's hand speed, countless viewers of Pan Lin and Li Yibo were already whispering to each other.
Everyone was very surprised that Yu Wenzhou wanted to challenge him one on one. However, he immediately realized that he definitely wouldn't want to compete with his opponent in terms of skill. He definitely wanted to use the terrain to play some tricks. But the fog of the forest? In the broadcast, Li Yibo had already pointed out that this map was not suitable for long-range players. Warlocks were also considered long-range players.
What was Yu Wenzhou trying to do? After seeing Blue Rain's map choice, everyone was even more confused. At this moment, everyone saw that Ye Xiu seemed to want to express his opinion on the map choice.
But then, after "Eh … this map …", there was nothing else!
The two sides had already started moving. Ye Xiu was straightforward, cutting straight to the middle. However, on this map, even the middle looked like it could be used for a sneak attack. Because of the low visibility, by the time the two sides saw each other, they were already in attack range. Looking at Lord Grim's posture, it was as if he couldn't be bothered to take a roundabout route.
On Yu Wenzhou's side, his attitude was much more proper. Swoksaar spawned at the north end of the map. While Ye Xiu was still talking on the screen, he had already begun circling south from the west side of the forest. However, it could be seen that Swoksaar's angle wasn't too big. On this map, the distance was too wide. A sneak attack wouldn't be able to find the target.
However, this was just the situation at first glance. The further south Swoksaar went, the greater the westward turn. Gradually, the distance between him and the central axis seemed to be out of sight on this map.
"This kind of movement … doesn't that mean Yu Wenzhou won't be able to find Lord Grim either? Could it be that he's guessing that Ye Xiu will also have Lord Grim circle around from the west? "Pan Lin said.
"The problem is that Ye Xiu hasn't …" Li Yibo said.
Not long afterwards, the two characters began to approach the center of the map, their movement speed slowing down. Then, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim suddenly opened fire.
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's gun form was a rifle, so it could only fire two normal attacks in a row. Right now, Ye Xiu was only using normal attacks, and he didn't use up any energy. Shot after shot, it seemed like he was firing randomly.
"He's actively exposing himself!" Pan Lin said. From Yu Wenzhou's perspective, he couldn't see Lord Grim's figure, but every time the sound of gunfire rang out, the gunfire would pierce through the layers of fog.
"Is he trying to bait Yu Wenzhou into attacking, and then find Swoksaar's position?" Li Yibo said. "But …"
He wanted to say, "But Warlock skills had a certain degree of concealment in this fog. Because the light from Warlock skills was dark, it wasn't as dazzling as elemental light or fire. For Warlock skills, there was only one type of elemental damage: dark.
However, Li Yibo was afraid that with Ye Xiu's rich experience, he would be able to see through the light from Warlock skills in this environment, so he didn't dare to say this.
As for Yu Wenzhou? He didn't know if he was thinking the same thing as Li Yibo. Seeing Ye Xiu so clearly expose Lord Grim's position, he didn't rush to attack. Instead, he had Swoksaar slowly approach.
Lord Grim continued to fire randomly, two shots at a time, not limited to one direction. A few times, the bullets flew to the west, brushing past Swoksaar's body. The spectators with the omniscient view were nervous, but Swoksaar didn't move at all.
"His judgment is too clear," Li Yibo praised.
It was because Yu Wenzhou's judgment wasn't the slightest bit off that he dared to have Swoksaar stay still. Otherwise, if a normal person wasn't sure, in this kind of ambiguous situation, they would always have their character dodge.
"From this angle, how far can you see?" Pan Lin muttered, but there was no data for this thing. Even if they had omniscient characters, they couldn't take anything out.
Bang bang, bang bang.
Lord Grim continued to fire. At this time, Swoksaar stopped moving. Yu Wenzhou carefully observed Lord Grim's gunfire.
And the spectators saw it much more clearly than Swoksaar. Seeing Ye Xiu make Lord Grim's movements, everyone only had one thought: too cunning!
Lord Grim was holding the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in its gun form, but the gun was facing backwards. In other words, every time he fired, he was facing backwards …
Yu Wenzhou was carefully observing. If he didn't see this point and then waited for the gun to turn around and launch a sneak attack while Swoksaar was shooting, then unfortunately, he would be attacking Lord Grim's front.
Treacherous! Despicable!
The Blue Rain fans in the stadium all scolded him. Among them, there was no lack of Blue Rain diehard fans scattered around the stadium. These guys had fought with Ye Xiu in the game before. These despicable and treacherous methods, they had experienced them more than once in the game, leaving behind an indelible pain.
But stirring up the crowd's emotions now didn't affect the match at all. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim continued to slyly fire behind him.
Yu Wenzhou stood motionless like this, observing for a full 34 seconds.
Just like that, Ye Xiu circled in place and fired for 34 seconds.
At the 35th second, Yu Wenzhou finally moved.
Swoksaar began to cast, directly casting Chaotic Rain.
Hua!
The crowd applauded.
Because this skill summoned acid clouds in the sky to rain, no matter where the character cast the spell, the final attack point would come from above, so it was impossible to predict the character's position.
And so, just like this, acid clouds suddenly gathered above Lord Grim's head.
The applause became even louder. Everyone hoped that Lord Grim would hurry up and get hit by the rain! But then, hua, Lord Grim raised the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella above his head and opened it.
"F * ck!" Quite a few people cursed.
If this was really a knight's shield, it might not be able to completely block off the Chaotic Rain if it was placed on top of his head. But this Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, when opened, it was an umbrella. It blocked the rain. It was too f * cking professional.
"Float in, float in!" Someone in the crowd suddenly took the lead and shouted. So it turned out that they were hoping for some wind or rain, but the rain wouldn't fly in a straight line, but instead slanted in.
But Ye Xiu seemed to have heard the wishes of the Blue Rain players. Lord Grim suddenly crouched down.
Crouching down, still holding the umbrella. This time, he was completely protected. Even the slanted wind and rain couldn't touch him.
The Blue Rain players were furious. F * ck, this is a proper match, okay? Holding an umbrella and crouching down, what are you pretending for?
But at this moment, above Lord Grim's head, within the acid clouds, there was a faint flash of light. There seemed to be six dots of light …
Hexagram Prison!
The players familiar with Warlocks immediately recognized it.
"Brilliant!" Someone with quick reflexes immediately shouted out.
This Hexagram Prison was an impenetrable sneak attack!
Yu Wenzhou was certain that Ye Xiu's Lord Grim would use the umbrella to block the Chaotic Rain. Other methods weren't safe enough. After all, he couldn't see the spell being cast. By the time he noticed, the clouds had already formed and the rain had already fallen.
Then, with the umbrella open, Ye Xiu would be able to completely block his view of the sky. And then, a pillar of light fell from above, silently, absolutely undetectable.
"Die!" The Blue Rain fans in the crowd shouted excitedly.
As expected of their captain. This technique, how brilliant, how awesome!
Hexagram Prison, fell!
= = =
It looks like it's going to rain? Please don't, I need to go out …
