He had lost, and he had lost powerlessly.
Qin Muyun's playstyle wasn't the hot-blooded, hard-headed style that Tyranny fans liked, but they still liked a victory that left the opponent helpless. The stadium erupted into thunderous cheers, welcoming Mo Fan off the stage.
This wasn't the first time he had fought Qin Muyun one-on-one. Last time, he had won, but because it had also been a group arena, Qin Muyun's Negative Nine Degrees had only 11% of his health left. In the end, Mo Fan's Deception had lost half of his health in order to take him down.
This time, the two sides had fought on equal footing, and in the end, Mo Fan had suffered a crushing defeat.
31%.
This was the amount of health Deception had taken from Negative Nine Degrees when he fell. It could be said that it was a third of his health.
This was his record against Qin Muyun once again. When they returned to their seats, their poker faces were dyed with a bit of unwillingness.
Su Mucheng, who was the closest to him among the group, patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. Mo Fan struggled with his thoughts for a while. Just as he raised his head and was about to speak, Su Mucheng was no longer by his side.
"I'm going onstage." Su Mucheng was greeting everyone, and then she walked towards the stage. Happy that she was the next player to go onstage.
Mo Fan was in a daze. He had been about to say something, but in the end...
"Do you have any doubts?" Suddenly, a voice came from beside him. Mo Fan turned his head to look. It was Ye Xiu asking him.
Mo Fan turned his head back, as if he was struggling with whether or not to speak. Ye Xiu didn't say anything. He just waited patiently on the side.
"What should I do?" Mo Fan didn't turn his head back, but he finally spoke.
"Learn from him," Ye Xiu replied.
"I can beat him like this?"
"Don't limit your vision to just one opponent. You will have many opponents. The purpose of learning from him is not simply to defeat him, but to help you continue to improve and obtain more victories, "Ye Xiu said. Qin Muyun was Mo Fan's first hurdle. Mo Fan's temperament, which came from a training camp, was exactly what he lacked. If Mo Fan could claim Qin Muyun's possessions as his own, it would significantly improve his strength. For example, if Mo Fan could learn some of Qin Muyun's outstanding positioning and positioning skills, his Firework Style would be even more effective and threatening.
Ye Xiu was hoping Mo Fan would realize it, yet Mo Fan remained silent. Ye Xiu waited for a while. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking again, he didn't say anything else.
"Give it a try!" Ye Xiu left after saying that. As for Mo Fan, he was staring at the new match that was about to begin, deep in thought.
The fifth match of the group arena, Su Mucheng versus Qin Muyun, a battle between Gunners.
The match began with the crisp sounds of gunshots and explosions. As soon as they entered the map, the two long-ranged players, who didn't need to move to attack each other, began attacking at the same time.
Launchers had a longer range than Sharpshooters, but they weren't very useful in the group arena. Sharpshooters, on the other hand, had high attack speed and explosive power, which made Negative Nine Degrees' attacks even denser. Sparks instantly blossomed around Dancing Rain. As for Negative Nine Degrees? Only then did the first artillery shell explode. Even though a single artillery shell could cover an area, Negative Nine Degrees was able to dodge it with a roll. He didn't stop firing at all.
Not good!
For Happy, it was still not good. Negative Nine Degrees continuously moved and fired. His attack and defense weren't affected at all. He was clearly much more of a threat than Dancing Rain. Qin Muyun even had Negative Nine Degrees close the distance. Launchers had to be long-ranged, but what about Sharpshooters? They still had Gun Fu at close range. Closing the distance would also put pressure on Su Mucheng. However, on this map, she had no way of distancing herself from the enemy and relieving the pressure. The Sharpshooter's Gun Fu might not be as sticky as the average melee class, but it had a greater range of control.
What should I do?
Mo Fan had just asked himself this question, but now, he began to worry for Su Mucheng.
The situation on the battlefield was constantly changing. She didn't have time to be patient like Ye Xiu and Mo Fan. She needed to make an instant decision. Su Mucheng's answer was: explode!
Dancing Rain's attack rhythm suddenly increased by several levels, and a large-scale bombardment instantly enveloped Negative Nine Degrees. Qin Muyun hastily had Negative Nine Degrees move away, but Dancing Rain's attacks seemed to be guided by some sort of precise guidance. She actually chased after Negative Nine Degrees, refusing to let him go.
Firing Line?!
Some people could see that this was a burst of firepower that only a Launcher's firing line should have. But how was this possible at this distance? The Firing Line's distance limit wasn't because of the player's skill, but because the Launcher's firing speed was too slow. If the distance was too close, the Launcher's attacks wouldn't be able to connect. But right now, Dancing Rain's explosion seemed to have broken this set limit.
"How can this be?" Pan Lin was dumbfounded. Li Yibo also had a headache. He only had a vague idea. He needed time to think and organize his thoughts, but with Happy Tyranny's fast pace today, by the time he finished organizing his thoughts, it would probably be time for the next match, right?
"The distance isn't constant …" In the end, the pro players on the sidelines had a better understanding. On Tyranny's bench, Zhang Xinjie had already figured out the reason. Some small changes might escape the eyes of a normal person, but he would never miss them.
"Su Mucheng is using a few fast burst skills in the first wave. During the process, her character uses the momentum to retreat. As she continues to pull away, she'll continue to use suitable skills to connect her attacks." As a Gunner expert, Zhang Jiale had a good eye for this.
"It's a Firing Line that can be changed at will!" Lin Jingyan said.
"It doesn't seem to be just that." Zhang Jiale said.
"Yes …" Lin Jingyan immediately realized, "If it's a Firing Line, it won't be able to block Muyun's movements …"
"It's a three-line Firing Line." Zhang Jiale said.
"If it's a three-line Firing Line … Is it a snowflake?" Lin Jingyan let his imagination run wild. (For those without enough imagination, look here: *)
Snowflake Firing Line!
While commentator Pan Lin and guest Li Yibo were still having headaches, Tyranny had already come up with a name for Su Mucheng's Firing Line.
"The debate about Su Mucheng being a flower vase should stop." Zhang Xinjie said. This type of Firing Line was the result of a Launcher's experience and knowledge. It wasn't something that just anyone could use.
"Hasn't that been decided a long time ago?" Zhang Jiale was puzzled. No one in the pro scene thought that Su Mucheng was a flower vase, right?
"There's always been debate." Zhang Xinjie said.
"Okay …" Zhang Jiale didn't argue. He knew that Zhang Xinjie's strict nature was acting up. With his style, if he made a request, there probably wouldn't be any debate that would stop.
"But … for this match …" Lin Jingyan looked at the situation on the field.
This match wasn't going to end because of this. Su Mucheng's performance was already very spectacular, but unfortunately, there was a limit to Dancing Rain's retreat on this map. Her attack rhythm would be restricted at this moment.
"What if we do it the other way around?" Zhang Jiale said. Su Mucheng's Firing Line could retreat, but it could also advance. It was just reversing the order and rhythm of her attacks. But after looking at the situation, Zhang Jiale found the answer: "Muyun has noticed this point."
Yes, Qin Muyun had noticed this possibility. His Negative Nine Degrees was withstanding the attacks from the Firing Line, but his outstanding positioning was able to absorb a lot of the damage, especially the attacks that would have interrupted his offensive. Qin Muyun stubbornly clashed with his opponent under the suppression of the Firing Line. He maintained the pressure, patiently waiting for an opportunity. Like Tyranny's players, he had also noticed that Su Mucheng might run into a problem.
The end … was the angle of the group arena. Su Mucheng had started from a position where she could retreat to the furthest distance.
Almost there!
Qin Muyun watched Dancing Rain's every move. Would she make any changes in advance? Qin Muyun didn't ignore this possibility. He had blocked this possibility early on. Dancing Rain's only choice was to retreat to the last corner.
It's here!
Dancing Rain had already taken the last step. Her offensive would stop here. Next would be Negative Nine Degrees' powerful counterattack, blocking Dancing Rain in this last corner.
Boom boom boom …
In the last step, Dancing Rain unleashed her final attack. Su Mucheng clearly understood this point. In the last moment, she didn't hold back and used all of her skills.
"The final attack." Zhang Jiale sighed. Even though they were opponents, this final attack was undeniably tragic.
"Something's wrong!" This time, Lin Jingyan also noticed the situation.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Jiale, who had already relaxed, wasn't focused enough. He hadn't noticed!
"Negative Nine Degrees doesn't have enough health." Han Wenqing, who hadn't participated in the discussion until now, said.
Everyone was stunned, including Qin Muyun onstage.
Everyone was paying close attention to Su Mucheng, paying close attention to Dancing Rain, paying close attention to her firing line, paying close attention to how many attacks she could make in such a short period of time.
Her performance was outstanding, but the map was too small and the distance was too short. To be able to do this was already her limit.
Everyone thought so. Everyone sighed and lamented in their hearts. However, everyone neglected the fact that this limit was already enough for this competition.
Because Negative Nine Degrees didn't have 100% health. He had already lost 31% of his health in the match against Deception.
Negative Nine Degrees, who had 69% health, fell under Dancing Rain's final attack.
"We were tricked. She didn't use her full Firing Line before. She held back, saving up for this final attack," Lin Jingyan said.
"Don't overlook her craftiness. She's Ye Xiu's Best Partner …" Han Wenqing said.
