"Zhou Zekai is really aggressive today!" Commentator Pan Lin was the same as many others. He sighed with emotion at Zhou Zekai's unchanging determination and vigor in this new match.
"But right now, I want to praise Mo Fan. As a rookie, it really isn't easy," Li Yibo said.
Mo Fan was in charge of such an important match. The burden on his shoulders was not light at all. However, after the match began, Deception didn't move very quickly, but he didn't hesitate either. He just moved forward at a very normal speed.
His speed was very steady. Those who watched the match would be able to see how steady Mo Fan's state of mind was. He wasn't impatient, but he wasn't discouraged either. As a rookie, on this kind of stage, in this kind of match, it really wasn't easy, so even Li Yibo had to praise him.
As the two characters got closer and closer, Mo Fan finally stopped Deception from continuing to move. Deception leaned against the cliff and began to use his ninjato to climb up the cliff. He quickly found a foothold. Deception crouched on top of it and curled up into a ball.
The broadcast and the big screens in the stadium quickly showed a viewpoint, a viewpoint looking up from the bottom of the canyon.
From this viewpoint, they could see Deception's figure. This cover clearly wasn't perfect, and this distance was still within the Sharpshooter's range. Cloud Piercer could attack with just a raise of his hand.
At this moment, Deception also looked out and checked the situation on the ground. Then, he stood up straight again.
Mo Fan was also studying this position, but in the end, he wasn't satisfied. After looking left and right, Deception continued to climb towards another spot.
This match clearly wasn't going to be a head-on clash like the previous ones. Mo Fan chose the path he had always followed and looked for spots on this map that could be used as an ambush. In the previous few matches, he had already paid attention to some of the positions through God's View. However, with his experience, he was not able to make a complete judgment with just a glance. Therefore, he still needed to further filter the positions during the match. The first position just now was obviously filtered out because it was not suitable.
Soon, Deception arrived at a new foothold. This foothold was a bit lower than the previous one. This time, Mo Fan didn't let Deception look down. After looking straight ahead, he left again.
This was too low.
Next spot.
Deception continued to climb up the cliff. Although he was nimble, Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer was getting closer and closer. If he couldn't find a suitable hiding spot before Cloud Piercer arrived, then all of Mo Fan's previous efforts would have been for nothing.
Happy's supporters were anxious. They hoped that Mo Fan could be faster.
Samsara's supporters were anxious. They hoped that Zhou Zekai could be faster.
And at this moment, through the direction that Deception was moving towards, the broadcast had already figured out where Mo Fan was going to land. They might as well use the omniscient view to determine this position first.
This position was relatively high. If he launched a sneak attack from here, it would be a bit too far. However, with this height and this protruding surface area, it looked like he would be able to hide on top of it without being noticed from below, unless the players below also came to this position.
If he hid here, it would be inconvenient for him to attack, but at least he would be able to avoid Zhou Zekai's frontal assault and launch a sneak attack from behind.
As a result, the question now was who was faster.
One forward, one up.
Cloud Piercer had appeared, and Deception had disappeared!
He made it …
At this moment, Cloud Piercer's view was zoomed in. From the moment Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer arrived at the center of the canyon, he had been paying attention to the walls on both sides of the canyon. At this moment, he was also looking left and right, but just like before, he didn't discover anything.
Samsara's fans were anxious. They hoped that Zhou Zekai would notice something. Happy's fans were also on tenterhooks. They hoped that Cloud Piercer would continue forward and quickly expose his back to Deception.
Who would have thought that at this moment, a sudden change would occur.
Zhou Zekai immediately sensed the sudden appearance of the ambushing NPC soldiers on both sides of the cliff. As a result, in the next second, various long-range attacks from different directions were all aimed at a certain spot on the cliff.
Deception!
The ambush NPC troops were attacking Deception's position. Numerous spells and cannons blasted that protrusion apart. Deception's figure quickly leapt up and down the mountain wall, dodging the continuous attacks.
Zhou Zekai had been on guard for a long time. He instantly scanned the area above him, looking for any attacks aimed at him. Who would have thought that there wouldn't be any.
The NPCs on both sides of the cliff were actually attacking Deception. As for Cloud Piercer, it was as if they couldn't see him.
At this point, the situation was clear enough. Mo Fan's final choice of location would actually trigger the attacks of the NPCs on both sides.
This was an accident. After all, this was a random map. No one could completely understand the settings of this map. However, it could also be said that Mo Fan hadn't thought about the problem thoroughly enough. He hadn't considered that it would trigger the attacks of the NPCs on top.
But at this moment, those who accused him of this were mostly just standing there and talking without knowing the situation. After all, from what everyone had observed so far, the NPCs on both sides of the cliff had been very patient. They had even waited until the NPCs on both sides were locked in battle before they began to add insult to injury. Mo Fan's Deception was climbing higher and higher, but he was still some distance away from discovering them. No one could say for sure how this map had been designed.
But no matter what, for Mo Fan and for Happy, there was no worse situation than this.
In the first match, Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn had been tangled up by the NPCs. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had climbed up the cliff without any worries. However, in order to avoid drawing the NPCs' aggro, he hadn't attacked back then. In the end, the NPCs weren't able to suppress Sun Xiang, which led to the series of changes in the later stages. If Ye Xiu hadn't worried about this and had actively controlled Lord Grim to attack One Leaf Of Autumn, then with his attacks restricting Sun Xiang's movements, Sun Xiang would have been in real danger.
And right now, Mo Fan was in this kind of danger. The situation he was in was different from Sun Xiang's situation. The ambushers on both sides of the cliff only used long-range attacks to attack. They didn't try to close in. At this moment, Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer didn't need to worry about the NPCs being caught in the crossfire. That required very, very bad marksmanship.
And in this situation, Zhou Zekai only needed an instant to understand. For him, this was like a meat pie falling from the sky. Zhou Zekai didn't hold back. He didn't feel embarrassed. He accepted it with a smile. The sound of gunfire echoed through the canyon. Bullets fiercely flew towards Deception on the cliff.
Even though he had a huge advantage, Zhou Zekai didn't let down his guard. At first, he had wanted to cut off Deception's path up, but he saw that Mo Fan's first thought was for Deception to rush to the top of the cliff.
But with Zhou Zekai's number one Sharpshooter hindering him, Mo Fan wasn't able to do it. In the end, jumping up and down the cliff wasn't as easy as moving around on flat ground.
In the end, Mo Fan could only choose to have Deception fall back to the ground.
Would the NPCs on both sides stop attacking because of this?
This was what Happy's supporters hoped for. They knew that the possibility of this happening wasn't high, very high …
As expected!
The attacks didn't stop. The NPCs on both sides continued to attack Deception. Cloud Piercer would also be caught in the crossfire, but he clearly wasn't the focus of their attacks.
Some shook their heads, some sighed …
The more neutral pro players had this sort of mentality. This sort of accident was something that no one would have expected before the start of the match. But in such an important match, it just had to happen.
This head was practically a free kill. In this situation, if Zhou Zekai let Cloud Piercer lose a single drop of health, it would count as his failure.
He didn't!
Even in this situation, Zhou Zekai didn't relax. Instead, he became even more cautious. Cloud Piercer and Deception maintained a safe distance from each other. Mo Fan tried to close in several times, but to no avail.
Zhou Zekai had been charging forward bravely. Even when facing Su Mucheng's Firing Line, he hadn't made Cloud Piercer retreat even half a step. But now, he seemed to have lost his determination and courage. He was playing very carefully because he knew that in this situation, in this situation, if he played like this, he would be able to kill Happy's morale even more.
The opportunity to turn the tide was lost just like that.
Such an important match had been lost just like that. He hadn't even taken a single drop of health from his opponent.
What could be crueler than this? What could be more fatal?
What was even more depressing was that none of this had anything to do with skill or play. This was just a moment of carelessness in decision making. This was just a moment of bad luck.
One versus three. Zhou Zekai had completed it. It was as if the third victory had been given to him for free.
But this wasn't enough to lift his spirits, because this match seemed to be telling everyone that it wasn't just skill, awareness, momentum, and play. Even luck was on Zhou Zekai's side, on Samsara's side.
How could this kind of team be defeated? Where could they break through this kind of opponent?
When Mo Fan left the stage, the away team's spectator seats were deathly silent. Samsara's fans, on the other hand, didn't seem to be very excited. Instead, they seemed more relaxed, as if victory was already in their grasp.
Zhou Zekai, Cloud Piercer, still had 45% health. Behind him, there were still three Samsara players. Happy, on the other hand, only had two players left.
He was fighting with his back to the wall, relying on his own strength to push Happy into this desperate situation. This was Zhou Zekai, the Zhou Zekai who had sent Samsara to the championship stage twice.
There were no flaws to be found on him. Even something as intangible as luck revolved around him.
This … was this the new generation's King of Glory?
Samsara's fans cheered. The instant Mo Fan returned to Happy's player area, it was as if the match had already been decided.
Tang Rou looked at Ye Xiu. At this moment, many people might have thought that Happy had already lost, but she was far from losing her fighting spirit.
Ye Xiu was just about to nod at her, when a figure suddenly stood up, blocking their line of sight.
Pu!
Fang Rui brought his golden right hand to his mouth and spat. After fixing his hair, he said, "Looks like I have no choice but to make a move!"
