The cheers were thunderous.
No matter how low Han Yanrou's health had fallen, the fact that she hadn't died made people feel uneasy. No matter how tightly Hai Wuliang had been surrounded, the fact that he hadn't died made people worry.
But now, they could finally relax.
Hai Wuliang had died. His name had been grayed out. He had been eliminated from the match. Tyranny had obtained a point in the team competition.
In terms of overall score, it looked like a tie. But in the team competition, a one point advantage meant that they had an advantage in numbers. This wasn't just a matter of a single point. This was an important factor that could affect the outcome of the team competition.
Tyranny's stadium instantly became a sea of joy. Even the commentator, Li Yibo, was in high spirits. As if he had been injected with chicken blood, he immediately began talking about many, many, many things …
Happy, on the other hand, was completely silent.
Compared to Tyranny, they didn't feel like they had the advantage. But now, they had lost one of their own, and it was an All Star expert like Fang Rui.
Happy's supporters sitting in the away team seats were silent. Chen Guo and the others sitting in Happy's player seats were also speechless.
The match didn't give them time to take a breather. It continued on its own.
Hai Wuliang had been killed. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had successfully climbed to the top. He and Su Mucheng had begun a pincer attack. This time, Tyranny didn't carefully dodge. Instead, he quickly pushed forward. Fortunately, Tang Rou and Luo Ji had received Ye Xiu's message and quickly retreated. But from the looks of it, Happy had been slaughtered by Tyranny. Lord Grim and Dancing Rain, who were constantly attacking, didn't seem to be much of a threat. The two didn't seem to be in the mood. Their attacks weren't that fierce either. They were just casually passing by.
"Don't panic. Take your time." Ye Xiu's comforting message to the team sounded so plain and simple. As for the audience outside of the venue, not only did it not calm them down, it made them wonder if Ye Xiu had also lost some of his confidence and fighting spirit.
But right after that, Ye Xiu's messages popped up one after another in the channel.
It wasn't a consolation, nor was it an encouragement, but an instruction.
The competition was not over yet!
Ye Xiu used clear instructions one after another to convey this belief to Happy.
Fang Rui could still see all these messages, but he could no longer carry them out on the field.
What had he done?
Fang Rui could not help but ask himself.
He, an All Star player, had come to Happy's team and received the highest salary in the team. Even if he wasn't the backbone of the team, he should have at least performed as a core player to live up to his status.
That was how the outside world saw it. Fang Rui also thought that way. Happy's lineup was indeed centered around him, Su Mucheng, and Ye Xiu, these three All Star players. Only the three of them were the main force on the field.
But what about his own performance?
Changing classes was indeed an unstable factor, but didn't many of his shining points this season rely on his opponents not being able to adapt to his class change to catch them off guard?
Changing classes shouldn't be an excuse. Fang Rui knew this better than anyone. Because the more he played as a Qi Master, the more comfortable he became. He didn't feel like it was hindering his performance at all.
But was this the best he could do?
In the playoffs, when he played against Blue Rain, and when he played against Tyranny, as one of the core players of Happy, he never had a decisive performance. Wei Chen and Luo Ji, the two players who played the least in the playoffs, seemed to be more conspicuous than him. In their few opportunities to play, they made significant contributions to the team's victory.
What about himself?
The group arena allowed his opponents to close the gap. If not for that, Happy might have been able to enter the team competition with a two-point lead.
In the team competition, he was actually knocked out of the competition just like that. His teammates had set up a trap for him, but what did he do? A Spirit Reaches to the Rainbow. What happened next? Fang Rui was too embarrassed to continue talking about what happened next. Even until the end, Ye Xiu did his best to create an opportunity for him to escape. What happened in the end? In the end, he was still caught by Tyranny.
A disadvantage in the situation? A disadvantage in numbers?
Fang Rui didn't want to find such an excuse for himself. When Wei Chen played against Blue Rain, and when Luo Ji played against Tyranny, they didn't take advantage of Happy's advantage!
He was actually so weak!
Fang Rui was annoyed, but at the same time, he was very concerned about the unfinished competition.
I have to win! I still want to continue to play, play well …
Fang Rui mumbled to himself as he paid attention to his teammates on the field.
Happy on the field was regrouping in an orderly manner under Ye Xiu's instructions. They clearly didn't want to continue fighting Tyranny in this place. They wanted to slow down the pace and fight again. In this slow process, Happy's players on the field gradually calmed down. Fang Rui was eliminated. Even Ye Xiu's heart skipped a beat. He definitely wasn't as calm as he appeared in the news. As for the others, Luo Ji's palms were instantly covered in sweat. Although this was his second time fighting in the playoffs, this was a life-or-death battle. The pressure was different from the previous match. And now, Luo Ji had truly become Happy's team of five. Under great pressure, when Han Yanrou retreated with Tang Rou, he almost fell behind twice because he didn't grasp the movement rhythm.
But under Ye Xiu's step-by-step instructions, Luo Ji gradually calmed down.
Can't make a mistake! Can't make a mistake!
Luo Ji wasn't like Fang Rui. He wasn't dissatisfied with his performance because he didn't determine the outcome of the match. He didn't dare to place such expectations on himself. Can't make a mistake. This was his requirement for himself. This was his bottom line. It was something he thought he could do if he tried his best.
Luo Ji carried out Ye Xiu's instructions meticulously. Happy was calm and focused, regaining their morale.
Tyranny didn't like this kind of calm. They wanted to strike while the iron was hot and chase after them, but they couldn't catch up to Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng. Happy didn't show up either. The map was a random map. Everyone had only gotten a general idea of the map after the group arena when the map was announced. There were many details that were impossible to understand. This was an area that Tyranny had yet to set foot in, so there was no way to guess what Happy was planning to do next.
But it could be seen that Happy had given up on making a fuss in this canyon. Ahead of them, the canyon's exit could be seen. The walls on both sides were descending. At the exit, the canyon's terrain could be considered finished. After exiting the exit, if they went left, they would reach the spawn point at the left end of the map. If they went right, they would reach the Rainbow Spring at the center of the map. Both parties were already aware of the general situation after reading the brief introduction of the map.
Left? Right? Or should they continue forward?
Tyranny hadn't made a decision yet. They were on guard at the canyon's exit, wondering if there was an ambush waiting for them.
Everyone knew about this except for the six people on the field.
