"Samsara's two fronts are a bit disjointed!"
The pro players began discussing amongst themselves. They were also fighting on two fronts. On Happy's side, Qiao Yifan, An Wenyi, and now, Su Mucheng and Fang Rui had come back to help. Happy's two fronts were connected beautifully through this sort of rhythmic reinforcement.
But on Samsara's side? They hadn't been able to take down Ye Xiu in a 3v1. They hadn't been able to take down Fang Rui in a 2v1. Then, Su Mucheng and Fang Rui had arrived just in time to take down Du Ming.
It wasn't that Samsara didn't care about the coordination between their two fronts, it was that their coordination had been cut off by Happy. As for how he had cut off their coordination, the pro players looked at each other in dismay.
One side was 1v3, while the other side was 1v2. What kind of strategy was this? This was a Star Strategy!
Happy was facing Samsara. This season, Samsara was the only team with four All-Stars, and three of them were in the top ten of the All-Stars rankings. Samsara's starlight couldn't be any brighter. But they had actually been suppressed by Happy's Star Strategy?
The standard Star Strategy was to rely on the superpower of the star player to complete the battle with a few against many. This would establish the advantage of a few against few, and in the end, the victory would be decided. It could be a team battle, or two or even three fronts. But on one end, it was a few against many, while on the other end, it was a few against few. Relying on the star player to maintain the balance of the numbers disadvantage was the key to a Star Strategy.
In Happy's battle against Samsara, the situation of a few against many did appear, but on the other end, the advantage of a few against many didn't appear in this battle.
But Happy's strategy was undoubtedly a Star Strategy. Because this situation didn't appear, it wasn't because Happy didn't make this choice. Su Mucheng, Fang Rui, and Qiao Yifan had gone to intercept Samsara's healer, clearly intending to use numbers against few. But because of the class advantage brought about by the terrain at the end, Happy was able to easily gain an advantage in numbers. After that, Qiao Yifan did not try to build up a numerical advantage. Instead, he went to support Ye Xiu, who was struggling to hold off three opponents by himself.
Ye Xiu was the fulcrum that created this situation. Based on the current statistics, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was the one who dealt the least damage out of the four attackers on the battlefield, but he was indeed the most important factor in Happy's victory. Happy's victory was built on the foundation that he had built.
This was the number one player in Glory!
One person, 1v3, dragging three of Samsara's top ten All-Stars. One of them was even the All-Stars' Lead, Zhou Zekai.
This kind of performance was unsightly to describe as a celebrity. This was a superstar, a superstar!
They really did not know what to say. No one could use human language to evaluate what Ye Xiu had done. Because this did not seem like something a human should do.
If you were just talking about this type of playstyle, it wasn't like Happy hadn't done it before. Even recently, in the first round of the playoffs against Blue Rain, relying on Wei Chen to hold off Blue Rain's two players could barely be considered a celebrity tactic. But that celebrity tactic was far from complete. Wei Chen hadn't truly established balance. What he did was actually sacrifice himself. Using his own sacrifice, he did his best to stall for time in order to achieve Happy's strategic goal. This was different from the core idea behind a celebrity tactic.
And today, in an away game against Samsara, this was truly a perfect example of a Star Player strategy.
And this celebrity tactic also needed to hold back a top star, a star even more famous than Ye Xiu. But unfortunately, in front of Ye Xiu, he was held back. All three of them were held back. With this, their starlight was overshadowed.
A celebrity tactic, in reality, wasn't a tactic, but a technique. Using technique to violently crush the opponent was the true core of a celebrity tactic.
And this was an extremely difficult area to exploit. Because of this, who would have thought that facing Sun Xiang, Jiang Botao, and Zhou Zekai, there would be someone who wouldn't lose, someone who wouldn't die?
No one could have thought of this, not even Samsara. So they didn't think that their two fronts would be separated. They believed that they could quickly kill off Ye Xiu. This was a very common judgment. Any pro player would have made this judgment.
But …
Ye Xiu was an existence that surpassed common sense.
The situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for Samsara, but Samsara's players were still very proactive.
Rising Dragon Soars the Sky!
Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn blasted into a pile of trash.
The scattered trash didn't pose much resistance. The dragon-shaped magic directly pierced through the trash. However, the magic from Rising Dragon Soars The Sky, which had a grab priority, was domineering. The commotion it created when it blasted through the trash wasn't small. Ye Xiu and An Wenyi couldn't pretend that they didn't see it.
Dodge!
Lord Grim and Little Cold Hands immediately retreated from the trash. Then, they saw the tiny dots of light within the trash become denser and denser. In the end, they all converged together into a ball of light. It looked like it was going to melt the trash.
Rising Dragon Soars The Sky!
It flew out from the trash. If Ye Xiu and An Wenyi had reacted slightly slower, they might have been devoured by this attack.
The Rising Dragon Soars The Sky didn't hit, but Ye Xiu and An Wenyi's rhythm wasn't small. They had a top expert like Zhou Zekai keeping an eye on them. How could Zhou Zekai miss such an opportunity? Bullets rained down like torrential rain. Jiang Botao took advantage of the cover provided by Cloud Piercer to charge out.
Light Wave Slash!
Empty Waves used the fastest Spellblade skill, Light Wave Slash. The direction of the attack was even more tricky. It wasn't completely aimed at Lord Grim, nor was it completely aimed at Little Cold Hands. This slash was just enough to hit both characters at the same time.
As a result, if the two tried to dodge, they could only dodge in opposite directions, which would further increase the distance between them.
Don't underestimate this one or two steps. In this situation, this was a severe cut off. It was very likely that the two of them would embark on the path of fighting their own battles because of this one more step.
Ye Xiu had the ability to contend with Zhou Zekai and the others, but An Wenyi? If he didn't have Ye Xiu's protection, he would definitely die.
So he couldn't dodge!
Hua!
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella opened up once more.
He knew that the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield form wasn't very useful against Cloud Piercer's explosive attacks, but he had no other choice. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's durability instantly dropped to one spot.
Happy had the upper hand?
Yes, looking at it as a whole, that was the case. However, they had managed to get through this difficult situation. No matter what, they were facing one of Glory's top three attackers, and none of them had lost any of their fighting strength.
