The winner was Ye Xiu. The Samsara fans couldn't be too happy about this, but they couldn't blame Sun Xiang either.
There were a lot of things going on in this match that normal viewers wouldn't be able to notice.
Sun Xiang wasn't able to control One Leaf Of Autumn at his peak. Sun Xiang had suffered from a class change. These were the words that Ye Xiu had said in the chat during the match. But even if normal players tried to find out what was going on, they wouldn't be able to figure out why Sun Xiang wasn't able to control it.
They could only see that Sun Xiang was at a disadvantage at that point in time, but Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn used a Dragon Breaks The Ranks to fight Ye Xiu's Lord Grim and stabilize his footing.
In the following battle, the two sides were evenly matched. The gap that widened at that point lasted all the way until the end of the match.
13%.
That was the difference. It was also the amount of health Lord Grim had left. Ye Xiu had won, but Sun Xiang's answer wasn't bad either. In fact, Sun Xiang received high praise from the pro players who knew more about matches.
Sun Xiang received a round of applause.
Samsara's fans encouraged Sun Xiang to not be discouraged. How could they have known that Sun Xiang had once again grown far beyond their expectations?
After Sun Xiang left the stage, it was time for Samsara's second player to come out. Because of the special format of the third match, no one knew who Samsara would send out. Perhaps even Samsara themselves would only choose their second player after Sun Xiang's defeat.
At this moment, Samsara's captain, Zhou Zekai, stood up and welcomed Sun Xiang, who was walking down the stage. No one cared.
Zhou Zekai welcomed Sun Xiang. The two high-fived each other. No one cared too much.
Then, the two walked past each other. Sun Xiang returned to his seat. Zhou Zekai continued to walk forward. The crowd was in an uproar.
Samsara's second player was actually Zhou Zekai. Their captain, Zhou Zekai?
This was even more shocking than Zhou Zekai's first player in the group arena. Because in that match, Samsara had at least left Sun Xiang as their fifth player. His starting lineup was strong, but his defense was exceptionally stable. Even though the final result wasn't satisfactory, at least this was what they had planned for.
But this match?
Sun Xiang was already in the starting lineup, so placing Zhou Zekai in the fourth position was the most common choice. Placing him in the fifth position was more stable, and placing him in the third position was more aggressive. But now, he was directly placed in the second position. This … what was this?
The players had been decided on the spot. If Sun Xiang's performance in the starting lineup was valiant, 1v2 or even 1v3, then sending Zhou Zekai as the second player to increase the number of kills was more reasonable. But now, Sun Xiang had started and lost. Samsara hadn't left Zhou Zekai as their last player. Instead, they had directly placed him second. Not many people could understand this arrangement.
"Zhou Zekai is the second player? This … "TV commentator Pan Lin stuttered.
"I don't understand at all!" Li Yibo, who always cared about his reputation, directly admitted it.
What was Samsara thinking?
In the end, the only ones who could truly understand them were the pro players. After the initial shock, after thinking about it carefully, they could more or less understand Samsara's intentions.
Sun Xiang was the first, and Zhou Zekai was the second.
This was a whole. It wasn't possible to pick out just one. In this group arena, where they could change according to the situation, Samsara hadn't fully utilized this point. From the very beginning, they had decided on a lineup. And the core of this lineup was Sun Xiang first, Zhou Zekai second.
As a result, at the very beginning of the match, Sun Xiang didn't care that Happy hadn't reported yet. He had already walked to the player booth.
This wasn't because he was careless, and it wasn't because Samsara was playing any tricks. This was because they had decided on a strategy from the very beginning: an extremely sharp lineup.
Sun Xiang had to be the first player.
Zhou Zekai had to be the second player.
This was a kind of killing intent. Even if Samsara wasn't facing this kind of predicament, they still had this kind of determination.
As a result, Sun Xiang didn't care whether Happy had reported or not. He was going to be the first player.
Zhou Zekai didn't care that Sun Xiang hadn't played well in the beginning either. He was also going to be the second player.
In a fight with their backs to the wall, they could only advance. They couldn't retreat. Even though Sun Xiang's loss in the first round had already made Samsara's lineup very difficult, it was precisely because of this that Zhou Zekai couldn't retreat. If they retreated and adjusted their formation, they might be able to form a more stable formation, but for Samsara, their determination and killing intent to fight to the death would be lost in this adjustment.
As a result, Zhou Zekai wouldn't retreat.
This extremely silent player had absolute confidence and courage in this match. He had the determination to carry everything on his shoulders. Because he was the true core of this team. Because he was the captain of this team. He led this team and raised everyone's morale. He relied on actions, not words.
Applause.
No one knew how much of Zhou Zekai's determination and belief could be felt by the Samsara fans. They only knew that for their captain, they needed to support him unconditionally, no matter when, no matter where.
The second round of the group arena began. Happy, Ye Xiu, Lord Grim; Samsara, Zhou Zekai, Cloud Piercer!
Ye Xiu could be said to be the last person in the stadium to know about Samsara's lineup. When he saw Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer appear on the stage, he was truly surprised.
But soon, just like the pro players who could understand Samsara's thoughts, Ye Xiu could feel the other side's killing intent.
And in front of him, Sun Xiang had already lost. This killing intent was almost entirely reliant on Zhou Zekai. If he didn't play well as the second player, Samsara's group arena today might be even worse than the previous round. Their last breath was all gathered on Zhou Zekai.
13%.
This was the remaining health Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had left. Relying on this bit of health to beat Zhou Zekai was impossible, but if he could create even the slightest bit of trouble for his opponent, then it would be a painful blow to Samsara.
Be resolute, be fierce, and speak without hesitation!
Just when many people thought that Ye Xiu would definitely heal Lord Grim and then slowly drag out the opponent's health, Ye Xiu had Lord Grim charge out decisively.
