"Happy won!! In the second round of the finals, Samsara's home game, Happy won. They did it!!! "Pan Lin announced the final result of the match. His voice was filled with excitement.
Happy's performance had infected everyone. Too many neutral viewers had leaned towards Happy's side. Pan Lin was no exception. As a commentator, he should have been the most neutral. Even if he had some expectations, it wasn't convenient for him to express them so passionately. But in this moment, he couldn't hold it in. As a commentator, even if he didn't interpret the match well enough, even if he made a few jokes and got slapped in the face, Pan Lin truly loved this job and loved the game of Glory.
A commentator didn't dare to be biased, but he wasn't a machine. There were times when he couldn't control himself. For example, right now, he was like too many people. He had been infected by Fang Rui's god-like performance. He didn't want to see Happy miss out on such an opportunity. And in the end, Happy got what he wanted, the viewers got what they wanted, and Pan Lin got what he wanted. In this moment, he couldn't think of anything else. He was like everyone else in the audience, completely enveloped by a sense of satisfaction.
"Samsara's players all performed well, but Happy's players performed even better, especially Fang Rui!" After the excitement, Pan Lin quickly realized his loss of composure and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.
"Yes. Fang Rui was definitely the best player in today's match. "Li Yibo was loyal, immediately helping Pan Lin. His emotions were much more stable than Pan Lin's. After all, as a pro player who had won a championship before, Li Yibo had seen the world.
"Yes, yes. Also, Ye Xiu's performance was very eye-catching," Pan Lin said.
"Of course," Li Yibo agreed.
In the group arena, he had defeated Zhou Zekai. In the team competition, he had fought 1v3 with an average hand speed of 500. If it weren't for Fang Rui's god-like performance, it would have been completely reasonable for Ye Xiu to be awarded the best player today.
On the stage, the players from both sides had already walked out of the stage. Happy's players gathered and looked around, but they didn't see their biggest contributor - Fang Rui.
"That guy, is he putting on airs?" Su Mucheng laughed.
Ye Xiu also laughed. He looked at Fang Rui's player booth and then at the replay on the big screen.
Even though this was Samsara's home game, they wouldn't purposely squeeze out their opponent's brilliance. Even if they lost, they had to lose gracefully. At this moment, the big screen in the stadium was showing the most brilliant performance of the match from various angles: Fang Rui's performance. And this was what Ye Xiu and the others, who had fought side by side with Fang Rui, hadn't seen.
Extremely accurate judgement, impeccable operation, and wretched performance. Fang Rui had used these to drag Samsara's Lu Boyuan and Fang Minghua from start to finish.
Yes, from start to finish.
One minute? Two minutes? Three minutes? Four minutes?
None of these were the limit. In the end, everyone had even forgotten about this statistic, because it had already lost its meaning. From start to finish, Lu Boyuan and Fang Minghua hadn't been able to escape. Was there even a need for this statistic?
It was a shocking performance, but as Ye Xiu watched, his original smile gradually turned serious. He glanced at Fang Rui's player booth again. Seeing that there was still no movement, he hurriedly walked over.
The rest of Happy seemed to have realized something as well, and followed closely behind. The entire stadium saw the sudden movements of Happy's players and also realized something. They began to whisper to each other.
The door to Fang Rui's player booth was pulled open. Ye Xiu looked inside and saw Fang Rui sitting in his seat. He was in a very comfortable position, as if he was about to lie down. When he heard the door being pulled open, he turned his head. When he saw Ye Xiu, he smiled and said, "Amazing, right?"
"Amazing!" Ye Xiu nodded his head.
"We won."
"We won!"
"Hahahahaha..." Fang Rui laughed loudly, but as he laughed, it was clear that he was running out of breath.
"I didn't work for nothing!!" he said fiercely, and then stood up from his seat. He reluctantly admired the frozen image of their victory on the screen. Only then did he walk over to Ye Xiu.
Seeing the Happy fans behind Ye Xiu, Fang Rui smiled and said, "Are you guys here to witness a miracle?"
Everyone saw that he was still fine and let out a sigh of relief. And when the live audience saw Fang Rui appear, the away team's Happy fans began to cheer and clap. Then, the entire stadium gradually began to applaud as well. Even though Fang Rui had defeated their opponent, everyone had seen his performance. As long as it was a player who understood Glory and liked Glory, there was no reason not to respect this kind of performance.
In the away game, the entire stadium applauded.
This was extremely rare for Fang Rui. Because of his style, the amazing things he did were often very infuriating. This made it so that the away team couldn't even be bothered to be angry. There was no way for them to admire or respect him. But this time, it was different. Even though it was mixed with treachery and wretchedness, he had done what everyone thought was impossible.
"Are you okay?" Su Mucheng asked from the side.
"What could be wrong with me?" Fang Rui replied with a question. Then, he waved his hand and greeted the audience that was clapping for him. Su Mucheng looked at his back, and then turned her gaze to Ye Xiu.
Even though Ye Xiu still had a smile on his face, the solemnity in his expression hadn't disappeared. When he felt Su Mucheng looking at him, he also turned his head to look at Su Mucheng. He used his gaze to answer the question in Su Mucheng's heart.
The two teams walked to the center of the stage and began to shake hands. The post-match greeting ceremony was much more casual than the pre-match greeting ceremony. There was no need to line up. Fang Rui was the first to walk over, so he was naturally the first to greet Samsara's players.
"Do you admit defeat?" Fang Rui asked as he shook Samsara's captain Zhou Zekai's hand. He and Zhou Zekai were players from the same season. And among this season's rookies, the top experts who eventually became All-Stars were known as the strangest players of this season because of their distinct characteristics.
Among the rookies in Season 5, three of them became All-Stars. One was Fang Rui, who played the pinnacle of wretchedness, who couldn't be more wretched. The other was Zhou Zekai, who was extremely boring off stage, but had astonishing explosive power and breathtaking techniques on stage. The last was Void's Wu Yuce, a fierce and domineering … Ghostblade.
Their strange styles were the biggest characteristics of this season's rookies. And as rookies from the same season, they weren't too unfamiliar with each other. Many of them were even good friends. They had made a few naive promises when they were rookies.
Fang Rui and Zhou Zekai didn't do this. After all, Zhou Zekai's personality was there for all to see. But it was true that the two weren't unfamiliar with each other.
And with Zhou Zekai's taciturn way of saying things, when the Samsara players heard Fang Rui's words, they were afraid that Zhou Zekai would casually say "I admit defeat." That would be too damaging to their morale.
Who would have thought that Zhou Zekai would just laugh and say one word to Fang Rui: "Amazing."
"Hahaha, as long as you know to be afraid." Fang Rui was so smug! Samsara's players were all angry. Zhou Zekai clearly hadn't said "I admit defeat." He had said "amazing" to avoid the question. Only Fang Rui would shamelessly use a chicken feather as a token of authority. It was clearly an evasive, polite compliment, but this guy actually took it as "I admit defeat."
"I look forward to seeing such a brilliant performance next time." Because Zhou Zekai didn't like to talk, Samsara mostly had vice-captain Jiang Botao talk to him as a whole. What he was implying was that Samsara wasn't afraid of Fang Rui's god-like performance. They were confident that they could beat Fang Rui in the next round.
"Haha, I look forward to seeing such a brilliant performance next time." Fang Rui used the same sentence to reply. Trash-Talking was also his strong suit! How could the master of playing dirty not be proficient in trash talking?
"Heh heh!" Jiang Botao just laughed and didn't say anything. He clearly knew Fang Rui's style. The more he talked with him, the more pleased he would be.
Leaving this guy behind, Jiang Botao went to talk with the rest of Happy. Then, Fang Rui saw Lu Boyuan, Fang Minghua, and Du Ming huddle together and hatefully glare at him.
"Hahaha! You guys have been wronged this round! "Fang Rui immediately went over to greet the three warmly. The three really didn't want to pay attention to him, but they didn't want to be rude. In these two years, Samsara had won more than they had lost, so they were in high spirits. After winning, they wouldn't be arrogant when talking to the losers, but after losing, they wouldn't be petty when talking to the winners. Team Samsara's popularity had soared year after year, not only because they were the champions, but also because this team did a lot of things very well. They were very decent and very particular.
Seeing that Fang Rui was clearly mocking them, Samsara's three didn't do anything. They all said "congratulations" and so on.
"You guys have to do your best next round!" Fang Rui continued to say in an irritating tone.
The three had been mocked quite a bit. Right now, they were covering their wounds, as if they didn't understand Fang Rui's mocking tone, replying with "Let's do our best together" and so on.
As a team that rarely lost, after losing such an important match, Team Samsara's players were very calm. The fans in the stadium, who had originally been depressed by this loss, were gradually moved by Samsara's aura. The crowd gradually began to clap again. This time, it wasn't respect for the victors, but praise for their own team.
After losing, this kind of attitude, this kind of calmness, filled everyone with confidence for the third round. Their Team Samsara wouldn't fall so easily.
