"Happy, Fang Rui is about to go onstage," Pan Lin said after seeing Happy's actions. His tone wasn't without regret.
Last round, he had felt that Fang Rui should have gone onstage, but Happy had sent Mo Fan instead. Li Yibo had also discussed the pros and cons of sending Mo Fan onstage. After seeing Mo Fan's calm and unhurried pace, they had thought that sending Mo Fan onstage was a good decision.
But after that, the situation took a turn for the worse. If you only looked at the results, sending Mo Fan onstage was a huge mistake. Not only had they lost a crucial round, they had lost so thoroughly. Their morale had taken a huge hit, but what about their opponents? Their opponents' mood could be seen from Samsara's fans in the stadium. They all looked as if victory was already within their grasp.
Group arena, 4v2. Ever since the playoffs changed the format, let alone the finals, there had never been such a large disparity in the group arena. Even worse, in this 4v2, Zhou Zekai, who had already fought three rounds in a row, still had 45% of his health left.
"1v4!!"
The crowd was already shouting this slogan. Before today, no one would have believed that a 1v4 could be achieved on the pro stage. But today, with Zhou Zekai's condition and Cloud Piercer's remaining health and mana, everyone felt that a 1v4 might actually happen.
"Happy and Samsara's disparity is finally being reflected …" Li Yibo suddenly said.
"Happy only has Ye Xiu, but Samsara's Zhou Zekai now has a Sun Xiang by his side," Li Yibo said.
Sun Xiang.
He was seen as the final piece of Samsara's puzzle. He and Zhou Zekai had become this season's Best Partners.
Sun Xiang intercepted Happy's most troublesome Ye Xiu. Then, Zhou Zekai finished off Ye Xiu and Lord Grim's remaining health. Then, he defeated Su Mucheng and Mo Fan. Cloud Piercer still had 45% of his health left and was eyeing his next opponent.
Fang Rui?
In the previous round, Pan Lin had thought that Happy should have sent out Fang Rui to stabilize the situation. Now that Fang Rui had come onstage, Pan Lin didn't think highly of Fang Rui anymore.
Because of Zhou Zekai's strength, even an All-Star like Fang Rui couldn't stop Zhou Zekai's sharpness. He looked like cannon fodder.
And this was under the assumption that they didn't know Fang Rui's true condition.
"Can you do it?" Ye Xiu asked Fang Rui, who was about to go onstage.
To the other Happy players, who didn't know that Fang Rui really wasn't in his best condition, this wasn't a problem at all. The team had four seniors. Aside from Su Mucheng, the other three weren't too serious. It was common for them to mock each other.
But Fang Rui knew that Ye Xiu's words, which seemed like a joke, had a real meaning today.
"Even if I can't do it, I still have to go onstage. The team still needs to rely on me," Fang Rui said proudly.
Happy's players continued to ignore him, but Ye Xiu also understood the meaning behind Fang Rui's words: Yes, he had no other choice. No matter what, he had to go onstage.
Ye Xiu didn't say anything else. He didn't know Fang Rui's condition, but he knew that Fang Rui wasn't an irresponsible player. He wouldn't drag out his condition and fight. If he went onstage, it meant that he could still fight. He probably didn't go onstage because he wanted to use it at the most crucial moment. And now, it was time.
"Watch how I bully him!" Fang Rui raised his clenched golden right hand high. It was time for him to go onstage. However, this time, whether it was Ye Xiu or Fang Rui, their relaxed words and actions didn't affect the others. Happy's players still had serious expressions. They all knew that the current situation was very difficult.
Mo Fan, who hadn't contributed at all during the match, came back with an ashen face. He completely ignored his teammates' comforting words.
"Don't mind it," Ye Xiu said, looking at him.
Mo Fan ignored him and walked right past him. These words were said too lightly. How could such a loss be casually ignored?
"Your teammates are still working hard," Ye Xiu continued.
Mo Fan turned around. Ye Xiu was no longer looking at him. Mo Fan looked in the direction Ye Xiu was looking. Fang Rui had already walked quite a distance away. He was still holding his clenched right hand high.
"That's why we haven't lost yet," Ye Xiu said, turning around to look at him.
We haven't lost yet. We …
Mo Fan sat back down in a daze. This was his corner, a corner where no one would disturb him.
But at this moment, Mo Fan suddenly wanted to sit forward a bit. That way, wouldn't he be able to see the match a bit more clearly?
The fifth round of the group arena began.
It was only the fifth round, but Happy had already sent three players off. The fourth player was coming up. Samsara's second player, Zhou Zekai, still had 45% of his health left.
Shouts of 1v4 immediately echoed through the stadium. Happy's fans were unhappy. At this moment, they didn't have any confidence to challenge Samsara's fans. They could only grit their teeth, clench their fists, and watch the match that was about to begin.
The map loaded. The characters spawned.
Even though it was already the fifth round, apart from Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang's match, the other three matches had all ended quickly. None of them had lasted more than two minutes.
What would this match be like?
Everyone's first focus was on Zhou Zekai, on his Cloud Piercer. This time, the broadcast made an exception and gave Cloud Piercer a close-up at the start of the match, completely ignoring Fang Rui's Hai Wuliang.
Because this was the first time he had achieved a 1v3 in the finals. This was something that no famous God had ever done before. Just this alone was enough to enter the annals of Glory history. But now, he could go one step further. He could challenge the 1v4 that was even more unbelievable than a 1v3.
At this moment, Zhou Zekai was the most dazzling, the focal point of everyone's gazes. Fang Rui? Hai Wuliang? In everyone's eyes, this was probably an obstacle, an obstacle to the birth of history. Everyone was waiting for him to be directly crushed!
But in the beginning, even though there wasn't any obstruction, the public chat reminded everyone of his existence: "How arrogant. It looks like I didn't beat you into submission last round!"
Everyone laughed.
What kind of situation was this? How could he still be so arrogant? It wasn't humorous at all.
Ignore him!
That was what everyone was shouting in their hearts. Sure enough, Zhou Zekai didn't care. Cloud Piercer charged forward.
He charged forward again!
The stadium erupted with excited screams.
Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, Mo Fan, Fang Rui, Zhou Zekai was still as resolute, as decisive, as unyielding as ever.
In the entire Glory scene, as long as it wasn't for Happy, it would have been ignited.
The broadcast was finally willing to give some screen time at this moment. With Zhou Zekai attacking so fiercely, everyone was naturally very curious as to what his opponent would do.
And so, the camera froze.
There wasn't the constantly flinging walls behind the characters as they moved quickly, nor was there the shaking of the scenery as the characters quickly turned their camera angles. The camera froze, and so did the people in the camera. Their camera angles seemed to be turning, but very very slowly. They would look left, right, behind them, at the wooden sign with the words "Military Restricted Area, Death to Trespassers" written on it.
Hai Wuliang didn't make any moves. After four rounds of the group arena, this was the first time someone didn't take the initiative to attack, choosing to stay in place and wait for his opponent. After looking around, Hai Wuliang began to walk in circles.
What is he trying to do?
Everyone couldn't help but think of this question. And so, everyone began to realize the identity of this obstacle in front of them, this guy that they viewed as cannon fodder.
Fang Rui, the master of playing dirty, Fang Rui. Apart from playing dirty, what else could he do?
Everyone immediately thought of the wooden sign in the NPC camp that had appeared in Fang Rui's view a moment ago.
Military Restricted Area, Death to Trespassers!
Was this guy thinking of sending Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer directly into this area marked as "Death to Trespassers"?
But how could it be so easy?
First of all, Hai Wuliang was closer to him. Second of all, Cloud Piercer was a Sharpshooter. He wouldn't give his opponent a chance to control him. What could he do to send him into that restricted area?
Everyone didn't think it was possible, but they couldn't help but worry …
