A trick? Or a bluff?
There seemed to be only two possibilities. The entire world was guessing.
But the spectators' guesses were only for entertainment. Samsara's guesses determined the outcome of the match.
As a result, everyone was paying more attention to Samsara's guesses. Everyone was watching Samsara's team chat, watching as they rapidly discussed the situation.
Samsara didn't hesitate. They weren't caught between a rock and a hard place, because they didn't discuss whether it was a trick or a bluff. From the very beginning, Samsara's discussion was to find a plan to deal with both possibilities.
And so, Samsara charged out.
Whether it was a trick or a bluff, Ye Xiu was always targeting their research of the terrain. At this moment, Samsara simply gave up on using the terrain of that area and walked out from there to directly face Happy.
Ye Xiu's actions, his words, were his psychological attacks really that strong?
Not necessarily!
But Samsara didn't let down their guard. It was as if Happy had made preparations on the pyramid, waiting for Samsara to do something as stupid as "charge up the pyramid". Samsara, on the other hand, was trying its best to avoid even the one in ten thousand possibility.
Because of Ye Xiu's style, everyone felt like the style of this match had been ruined. But in reality, from the small details and the attitudes of the two sides, the style of this match wasn't ruined at all. It was completely the style of the finals: cautious, careful, like grasping at straws that had fallen into the water, not letting go of even the smallest possibility.
Finally, the two teams were about to meet.
Samsara charged out of the ruins they had set up. Happy had already charged down from the pyramid, losing his height advantage.
They approached, step by step. Both sides deliberately controlled their pace. They didn't charge too fast, but they also didn't charge too slowly.
Dancing Rain raised her hand cannon. Cloud Piercer raised his dual pistols. These two long-ranged attackers were about to enter their attack range.
But the first to explode wasn't any of these two long-ranged attackers. The first to explode was Happy's team chat.
"Ann, back up."
"Tang, right, three, circle around."
"Qiao, right, and two."
"Su, stay behind, take the high ground."
These four messages were all instructions for Happy's team. The audience was confused by the words "three, circle around" and "two." But some of the more attentive viewers, some of the players who paid special attention to team commands, could understand the meaning of these two words.
This had to be said for the commentator Pan Lin and the guest commentator Li Yibo. Although there were a lot of mistakes caused by mistakes in their analysis, the two of them were still quite diligent in their work. It couldn't be helped that they couldn't understand the team's intentions because they weren't good enough. But these two had spent a lot of time analyzing the team commands of the twenty teams.
Happy might be a new team, but their command habits and language weren't unfamiliar. After all, their commander, Ye Xiu, was a player who had led Team Excellent Era for nearly eight years. He had directly brought his command habits to Happy. Pan Lin, Li Yibo, and the others didn't have to put in much effort to grasp it.
At this moment, many people were still confused by the words "three, circle around" and "two," but Pan Lin had already cried out in surprise: "Three? Two? This map … "
Pan Lin wasn't surprised by Ye Xiu's deployment, but by the words themselves. Because as far as he knew, "three, circle around" and "two," these two phrases were often used by Team Happy when they were fighting on their home turf. In other words, this was something they could only understand on a map they were familiar with.
This was because the "two" and "three" in these two phrases weren't coordinates, but a type of direction that was commonly agreed upon. It was suitable for some maps, but not for others. And right now, this was a random map …
A random map?
Pan Lin suddenly froze. Li Yibo clearly had a better understanding of the situation than he did. He had already begun to apply his understanding of "three, circle around" and "two," to the map Happy was stepping into. Then he realized that it was completely applicable.
"This map …"
"Happy saw this map when he was on the pyramid," Li Yibo said.
"But they didn't communicate in the channel!" Pan Lin said.
"There's no need to communicate when it's commonly agreed upon …" Li Yibo said.
Then, Happy's formation began to change. Tang Rou and Qiao Yifan's characters began to move to the right. Su Mucheng and An Wenyi's characters began to retreat. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim moved to the left. The front was completely empty.
For a moment, Samsara's view was actually Happy's healer. This seemed to be a good opportunity to break through the middle and attack a vital point. But Ye Xiu, Tang Rou, and Qiao Yifan's flanks were clearly in a pincer formation.
A pincer?
It looked like it!
But when Li Yibo saw Happy's "three, circle around" and "two," he interpreted Happy's intentions as "cut off"!
It was still better to have a random map!
Li Yibo was filled with emotions. His eyes were practically brimming with tears of joy. If there were clear instructions for every match, how could he have made so many mistakes and made so many jokes? Li Yibo deeply hated eye contact and whatnot.
"Let's see how Samsara will respond. This is indeed a good opportunity to directly attack Happy's healer, but the premise is that Happy's intention is to cut off the middle. He's targeting Samsara's strategy of breaking through the middle …" Li Yibo said.
"What will Samsara do … They've already begun to adjust their formation without any communication …" Pan Lin shouted, "Cloud Piercer is in the middle. One Leaf Of Autumn is in the front. The healer is in the middle. Jiang Botao and Wu Qi are in the back … Samsara is going to charge through the front!!"
Charge through the front?
The expressions of the pro players on the sidelines were extremely grave.
Samsara had set up their formation, but it was still too early to say that they were going to charge through the front. Pan Lin explained the movements of each of Samsara's players one by one. However, he didn't explain the exact order of each character's movements.
This order was very important. The so-called eye contact coordination was initiated by one character. It was a tacit understanding between the characters. Samsara's formation changed. The first to move was Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer, which was the first to be mentioned by Pan Lin. But by the time he said this, Samsara's formation had already been set up. Afterwards, he only explained the order from front to back. If one looked closely, the five characters moved first. Zhou Zekai was the first to move because he was the core. After him was Jiang Botao's Empty Waves. Then Fang Minghua coordinated with him. Then Wu Qi. Finally, Sun Xiang.
Sun Xiang was the last. This wasn't to say that because he was new to the team, his coordination was the worst.
On the contrary, Sun Xiang's last move was the reason why Samsara's adjustments were so confusing to the pro players.
If they really were going to charge through the front, Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn would definitely be at the forefront. He should be the fastest and most active to follow Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer's rhythm. Because this wave of offense would ultimately be led by him. He needed to be the first to complete the adjustments.
But right now, he was the slowest. Normal players wouldn't think much of it, but in the eyes of the pro players, his rhythm was too slow. If they really were going to charge through the front, then Sun Xiang's mind might have wandered. This could count as a mistake.
This wasn't a mistake!
Samsara's resolute attitude after quickly setting up their formation gave the pro players this intuition. Sun Xiang's slowness and hesitation seemed to be hiding something.
What was it?
There probably wouldn't be a replay for this moment, so the pro players couldn't see through it. They could only wait for the next change.
Samsara advanced!
It looked like they really were going to charge towards Happy's healer.
Happy's two wings had already begun adjusting their positions to the left and right …
Charge!
Suddenly, a character charged out from Samsara's formation towards Happy's healer.
One Leaf Of Autumn?
No, it wasn't. It was Cloud Piercer!
Samsara's offense began, but the one at the forefront was Zhou Zekai and his Cloud Piercer.
