Ye Xiu … Ye Xiu …
All of the Tyranny fans in the stadium stared silently at the guy they had hated for 10 years. There was no booing, but of course, there was no applause either. They had no idea how to deal with this person. This kind of atmosphere affected even the Happy fans who came with the team. They were not used to this quiet Tyranny home stadium and were at a loss for what to do.
"Ye Xiu, is he so strong that the entire audience is speechless?" Pan Lin lamented in the broadcast.
He was very strong. No one could deny that.
Even the Tyranny fans hated Ye Xiu and hated Ye Xiu, but they could not deny that Ye Xiu was very strong. Perhaps in their hearts, Ye Xiu was the strongest. Only the strongest guy had the right to make Tyranny hate him for 10 whole years.
Their greatest loss and pain was caused by this guy, but their happiest and happiest moments were also built on him.
But this time? It was just a group arena, but Tyranny's fans had already tasted heaven and hell. In any case, they did not feel happy at all in the end.
"You have to win!"
No one knew who it was or where it came from, but a shout suddenly came from.
This shout seemed to express the desire in everyone's hearts. It instantly became a slogan in the stadium, a slogan that was not appropriate at all at this time.
Ye Xiu. According to the competition rules, he was walking off the stage as the loser! In theory, Tyranny had already defeated Ye Xiu.
But would anyone agree with this theory? Absolutely not.
They had to win. They could no longer target Ye Xiu, but Happy as a whole.
"You have to win, you have to win!" the entire stadium roared.
This was only the second contestant from both teams in the group arena, but Tyranny's fans were already cheering as if it was the deciding moment. Team Happy's fan club felt tiny and insignificant in the face of this momentum. They watched as Happy's second player stood up and walked towards the stage. They let out cheers of encouragement, but even they themselves couldn't hear it.
Su Mucheng, Happy! The second contestant to go up was Su Mucheng. At this moment, amidst the Tyranny fans' shouts of "You have to win," those who did not understand the situation would really think that the entire stadium was filled with anticipation for Su Mucheng.
But Tyranny's fans did not care about this at this moment. They wanted to express their encouragement and anticipation without holding back.
Win!
Win Ye Xiu, Happy! Win! Win the championship!
The third round of the group arena, Happy Su Mucheng versus Tyranny Lin Jingyan.
The match began. The two players moved towards the center of the map and quickly appeared in each other's field of view.
"The contestants were decided on the spot, so Su Mucheng's appearance will definitely be targeted." In the broadcast, Li Yibo analyzed, "I think she'll be using the Launcher's long range and the lava as a natural barrier to wear down Lin Jingyan.
Li Yibo thought so. Many people thought so too, including Lin Jingyan onstage. Against a Launcher, if the other side really did use this method, it would be difficult to deal with.
But if it wasn't easy to deal with, it could be avoided.
There was no time limit in Glory matches, so the side with lower health wasn't afraid of stalling for time. If Su Mucheng really wanted to blast him through the lava, then he might as well not let his character go forward. The lava was an obstacle for him, but it was also an obstacle for Su Mucheng. If she was separated by the lava, then there would be a limit to Dancing Rain's range.
And if Su Mucheng insisted on defending this point, then it would be her not going forward, and Lin Jingyan not going forward either. From the rules of the match, both sides were playing passively. Then, the referee would decide how to punish them. In any case, this matter couldn't be said to be the fault of one side, so naturally, only one side would be punished. A warning? A yellow card? Or even a red card?
If it was a red card, then the side that was at a disadvantage would be Happy. Their characters were at full health and in the lead. If both sides received a red card, then they would die together. If it wasn't a disadvantage for them in the lead, then what was?
Su Mucheng wasn't stupid enough to ask for a red card, so Lin Jingyan was only thinking about this possibility. Moreover, the referee probably wouldn't use such a crude method to decide this match. If the two sides really played passively, then the referee and the system would interfere and force the two characters to clash.
Lin Jingyan had been in the Alliance for nine years now, so he had seen many things. Glory's competition system had to take into account the fairness of the match, as well as the viewing experience, as well as the popularity of the broadcast, and so on. Tearing down the east to make up for the west was quite awkward. In the end, the Alliance had only been in development for ten years. It wasn't perfect yet, let alone perfect.
Taking advantage of the unclear parts of the rules had already become one of the methods used in Glory matches. The Alliance wouldn't encourage this method, but they couldn't stop it either. They could only rack their brains to find a more perfect match system to block these loopholes. But before they were blocked, there would always be loopholes that could be taken advantage of.
As a result, Dark Thunder stopped moving forward and then started moving horizontally. He was still a dozen units away from the lava.
This is?
Many people hesitated when they saw Lin Jingyan's movements. But Li Yibo had analyzed all of the strategies that Su Mucheng could use on this map, and it wasn't hard to guess. Looking at Dark Thunder's movements, everyone quickly realized that if Su Mucheng wanted to have Dancing Rain attack through the lava, she wouldn't have enough range to do so. And then? If neither side made any changes, then it would be judged as a passive match. Then what would happen after that?
For those familiar with Glory, it wasn't hard to guess.
Then, the referee would interfere and force the two characters to clash. Then, Su Mucheng would lose her barrier. Because the two characters would be too close to each other, her Launcher would be in a dangerous situation.
"You're going to use the rules to change the situation …" Li Yibo said. "This …"
"This … Team Tyranny … this …" For a moment, Pan Lin didn't know what to say.
This sort of exploiting loopholes was something that Team Tyranny despised. But right now, their players were using this sort of strategy to win. This shouldn't appear in Team Tyranny's matches …
In fact, how could Lin Jingyan not be aware of this point?
But he couldn't represent Tyranny's style to begin with!
Even though he was wearing Tyranny's robes, the Glory soul in his heart had already been nurtured during his seven years in Wind Howl. He had fought solo and in the Criminal Team. On his path to victory, he had never been a righteous man. Even so, in those seven years, he hadn't even made it past the first round of the playoffs.
Fighting against those geniuses was truly too difficult. It was so difficult that he wished he had two hands and twenty fingers.
Using the rules? Exploiting loopholes?
To be honest, he didn't care about this sort of thing at all. What he cared about the most was that he couldn't do enough to win.
He was just a normal person. His desire for victory was no less than anyone else's. He didn't have much talent or talent, but he would do his best to use any weapon he could to win. Using the rules? Exploiting loopholes? Of course! Of course, these were all weapons.
Since this sort of loophole had appeared in this match, then of course he had to take advantage of it.
Lin Jingyan didn't hesitate. He had Dark Thunder stop. Then, he saw Dancing Rain charge straight at him.
The system didn't interfere, but everyone could see that Lin Jingyan was exploiting the rules to create a situation that wasn't favorable to Happy. Perhaps it was this situation that forced Su Mucheng to give up on using her range and lava.
"She's charging straight at him. Lin Jingyan should be satisfied now, right?" Pan Lin said, his tone carrying a hint of mockery. This sort of exploiting loopholes in the rules wasn't something that the mainstream would approve of.
Boom boom boom.
As she charged, Dancing Rain raised her cannon and began firing. She no longer relied on the lava as a barrier. Instead, she directly attacked. A wide and straight path extended from the muzzle of her cannon to Dark Thunder's position. If it had been any other Tyranny player, they would have jumped out and rushed towards Dancing Rain's barrage, trying to close the distance and knock down this Launcher, no?
But Lin Jingyan didn't. He was retreating. It seemed that he wasn't satisfied with the terrain. He was retreating backwards. There was a pile of limestone there that could be used as cover. Lin Jingyan was leading Su Mucheng towards that area. That area clearly wasn't favorable for Su Mucheng. But what if she didn't charge forward?
If she didn't charge forward, Lin Jingyan would have Dark Thunder stop, but he wouldn't charge forward either. Then, he would stay out of her range and stare at her. Then, it would be a passive match …
He was still using the rules!
He was using the "forced respawn" rule, which was disadvantageous for Launchers, to lure Su Mucheng into a more suitable area for him.
"How despicable!!" After seeing Lin Jingyan's actions, Happy's fans went into an uproar. They booed, but this time, they didn't receive any retaliation from Tyranny's fans.
Tyranny's fans felt awkward.
This was a veteran who had joined their team at the end of his career. He had always been deeply trusted by them. They recognized his contributions to Tyranny and hoped that he and Tyranny could win the championship together.
But this kind of method …
If this kind of method was used to win, Tyranny's fans wouldn't feel good about it. They had always valued the process over the result, so they had always cared about the method. They weren't satisfied with Lin Jingyan's method, very dissatisfied.
Boos?
They couldn't bear it. After all, they had seen Lin Jingyan's performance these past two years. They had seen his dedication and diligence. They had seen him and Tyranny work together.
But why? Why did he have to use this kind of method to win at such an important time?
Tyranny's fans fell silent. Once again, they fell silent.
