The boiling lava gave off hot steam, blurring the two characters from certain angles.
"Han Wenqing's situation isn't looking good!" Pan Lin blurted out after seeing Desert Smoke close in several times, only to be pulled apart by Lord Grim's movement skill.
"But he hasn't been shaken off yet," Li Yibo said faintly.
This exciting duel kept Pan Lin in a state of adrenaline, and the commentator was chattering non-stop. Li Yibo, on the other hand, was surprisingly quiet in such a heated battle.
This duel was filled with many memories for him!
As the first generation of players, the match between Ye Xiu and Han Wenqing was a symbol of their era. At that time, the Pro Alliance had just started. Many of Glory's techniques and strategies were still in their infancy. In this sort of setting, individual strength would be the deciding factor in a match. And as a member of Team Tyranny, Li Yibo could be said to be a symbol of this era. Even now, he still remembered when they won three consecutive championships in the Excellent Era. The powerful Ye Xiu had made them feel gloomy and helpless.
It wasn't that no one in the team felt discouraged or disheartened, but their captain, Han Wenqing, had never bowed his head and accepted defeat. He was the type of person who, even if he only had one drop of health left, would fight relentlessly to the end.
Li Yibo's memories from the past flashed through his mind. In comparison, he didn't think that Desert Smoke being able to close in and then pull away was a problem. There had been more desperate situations than this, but Han Wenqing had never wavered.
Just like Li Yibo's indifferent reply to Pan Lin: He hasn't been shaken off yet!
"Hey, this is our chance!" Pan Lin suddenly shouted.
The lava to the right of the two characters gradually came to an end and suddenly narrowed. Lord Grim walked close to the side. It looked like he was going to change directions to the right. If Desert Smoke used a jumping skill, he should be able to directly jump over the lava and cut off Lord Grim's path.
It really was a chance! Li Yibo's eyes also lit up.
But who would have thought that Lord Grim, who looked like he was going to the right, would suddenly move to the left.
"Ah!" Pan Lin had already cried out in surprise. If Desert Smoke had jumped over as he thought, let alone cut off Lord Grim, he would have been a thousand miles away.
Desert Smoke didn't move. Han Wenqing didn't seem to have noticed this opportunity.
"Haha, it was a feint. Too bad it didn't trick Han Wenqing," Li Yibo said as if nothing had happened. In this match, his stance couldn't be clearer. He firmly supported Tyranny and Han Wenqing! However, he couldn't make it too obvious, so he pretended to be calm and collected.
"Right now, Lord Grim is moving to the left. Desert Smoke, continue to chase. But Coach Li! Since Han Wenqing saw through Ye Xiu's feint, then he should have seen through Ye Xiu's intention to move to the left towards Lord Grim, right? Then why didn't he make a prediction? If he did, he should have been able to cut him off, right? "Pan Lin asked.
Li Yibo stared blankly.
Right, why not? Desert Smoke also had a few explosive moves. Han Wenqing hadn't used them, but just now, it really was a good opportunity. Why didn't he use them?
"It was an opportunity, but it wasn't good enough …" Yu Wenzhou replied to Huang Shaotian's message.
"It wasn't good enough? It was perfect! "Huang Shaotian didn't agree with Yu Wenzhou's judgment this time. He had sent the same message to Pan Lin earlier. They were talking about the opportunity to predict the player's movements in that split second.
"It might be enough for you, but it probably isn't enough for him," Yu Wenzhou replied.
Huang Shaotian stared blankly for a moment, then understood what Yu Wenzhou meant.
Huang Shaotian didn't have full confidence in that opportunity, but a fifty percent chance was enough for him to make a move. In a dangerous situation, ten percent was enough.
But for Han Wenqing? He wasn't in his best condition. His attitude and choices this season clearly showed that he was taking this point seriously. If this had been a few years ago, Han Wenqing probably would have let Desert Smoke charge forward without thinking. He might even have been tricked by Ye Xiu's feint. But now, he wouldn't be easily moved by a fake move or an uncertain opportunity.
He had changed, but in reality, it wasn't that he was retreating or anything. He just cherished his drive and drive even more, because he knew that he couldn't repeatedly perform at such a high level.
Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian discussed Han Wenqing's choice in terms of opportunity, but the players on the other teams were discussing it further.
"He didn't seize the opportunity, but he created an even stronger sense of pressure," Samsara's Jiang Botao said.
Samsara had advanced to the finals. The result of this match would reveal their opponents in the finals. Everyone in the team was curious about the result. They were all sitting in front of the television, watching the match.
"From the looks of it, Ye Xiu has the advantage, but he's actually on the defensive, oh?" Jiang Botao said, asking for his teammates' opinions.
"Yeah." Zhou Zekai nodded his head.
"If this continues …" Because he didn't understand the map well, Sun Xiang couldn't make a clear judgment.
"Who do you think will win?" Jiang Botao suddenly asked Sun Xiang with a smile.
Sun Xiang was silent for a moment before saying, "I hope that Ye Xiu wins."
"Understood." Jiang Botao was still smiling. After being teammates for a year, he naturally had a good understanding of Sun Xiang's character. He hoped that Ye Xiu would win. At the same time, he also hoped that Happy would win. However, this definitely wasn't because of Excellent Era or One Leaf Of Autumn. He only hoped so because of his failure in the Challenger League last year.
He had received One Leaf Of Autumn from Ye Xiu, but Ye Xiu had switched characters and brought a team to beat him. Let alone a young and arrogant person like him, if it had been anyone else, they would have been depressed to death.
Even though Happy had won two matches in the regular season, one or two matches in the regular season weren't as decisive as the finals of the Challenger League or the playoffs. Sun Xiang's frustration and depression couldn't be swept away by these two matches. He needed a more decisive stage.
Playoffs!
Seeing that Happy had a chance to make it to the playoffs, Sun Xiang was truly happy. The reason was naturally to meet him on this stage. After the rankings came out, there was only one way for the two teams to meet: in the finals.
This stage was perfect for Sun Xiang. It was a hundred times more decisive than the Challenger League last year. However, Sun Xiang felt distressed. He was worried for Happy. He was afraid that Happy wouldn't be able to make it to the finals.
But now, Happy and Tyranny would be decided in one match. Whoever won would meet Samsara in the finals. In Samsara, Sun Xiang was the one who was most worried about this. Half an hour before the match started, he was already waiting in front of the television.
"Turn around and fight! Why do you keep running! "Sun Xiang was more engrossed in the game than anyone else.
However, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim didn't turn around.
After running for a while, another fork appeared in the road ahead. This was the end of the map. In front of them was a cliff. There was no way to go straight. There was only left or right.
Up until now, Desert Dust had only reacted to Lord Grim's kiting attacks, but now, before the kiting attacks came, he had already taken the initiative to move.
Desert Dust suddenly moved diagonally to the left.
Just when no one realized what this meant, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had already moved to the right.
An error in prediction?
Just when this thought popped into everyone's mind, Desert Dust had already moved to the right. However, the path he took wasn't a straight line towards Lord Grim. It seemed to be a diagonal line that left some leeway.
His positioning forced Lord Grim to the right!
The experts all saw it.
Moving diagonally to the left was a prediction based on the assumption that the opponent would move to the left. Ye Xiu could obviously choose not to move to the left. Han Wenqing didn't care if his prediction was wrong because his goal was to force Ye Xiu to the right.
What was the point of moving to the right?
To the right of this location was the southernmost point of the map. Not far ahead was the location where Lone Desert Smoke had respawned. In other words, that was the area where Han Wenqing had observed before the two sides met. But for Ye Xiu, that was an unfamiliar area that he had just stepped into.
The only difference was that he had seen it before and that he had just started looking at it.
Would victory and defeat be decided by such a small difference?
Everyone watched as Ye Xiu's Lord Grim moved towards the area that Han Wenqing had looked at. Then, he moved diagonally to the right and charged straight towards the lava!
What is he doing?
Everyone was just asking, but Han Wenqing's movements were even faster than their questions.
Desert Dust immediately cut towards the lava.
Lord Grim jumped …
Suicide? Of course not. In midair, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella opened. The umbrella's canopy retracted. Rotor Wings!
Lord Grim flew directly over the lava and landed on the path he had come from.
As for Han Wenqing? From the right, he could see the path he had come from, but the distance between the lava wasn't something that could be crossed by a single jump. Ye Xiu had clearly waited for him to reach this position before making this move.
What was even more awkward was that Han Wenqing couldn't immediately have Desert Dust turn around and run. Lord Grim's Rotor Wings could move freely. If he ran too quickly and stole the position, it wasn't impossible for Lord Grim to turn around and fly back. Lord Grim jumped out first, then activated the skill. Adding on the position he had chosen, he had left an opening for himself.
It was just a simple movement. There were too many things hidden within it. The audience couldn't understand it for a moment, but all the experts experienced Han Wenqing's dilemma.
But the more difficult it was to make a decision, the faster Han Wenqing made his decision. Desert Dust resolutely charged forward.
Was he certain that Ye Xiu's Lord Grim would fly back? But after seeing his actions, Ye Xiu could have stopped Lord Grim from flying back! But at this moment, Desert Dust's feet left the ground. He actually jumped …
Crazy?
Everyone was shocked. Han Wenqing probably wanted to directly Snipe Lord Grim, but no matter what, a Striker couldn't jump that far, right?
And this jump, wasn't it too short? It wasn't the limit at all …
Wait a minute, what was that small piece that was exposed from the rolling magma?
