Ten minutes. This wasn't a short amount of time for a 1v1 match.
In the early days of the Glory Pro League, matches had time limits. At that time, a 1v1 match had a time limit of five minutes. When the five minutes were up and there wasn't a clear winner, the winner would be decided by the ratio of health remaining.
The time limit was set for the convenience of the broadcast, but because of this rule, there were many dirty plays. For example, after gaining a certain amount of health, they wouldn't fight the opponent head-on and would instead choose to play hide and seek on the map.
As a result, there were many more tactical choices, but this type of hide and seek wasn't very enjoyable to watch. The opponent was depressed, the audience wasn't happy, and even the commentator was speechless. As a result, the Alliance quickly held a hearing and abolished the time limit. From then on, there was no time limit in any match until the winner was decided.
Like this, even dirty plays had to be proactive and couldn't be completely focused on running away. The entertainment value was guaranteed. For the broadcast, without the time limit, arranging the program was indeed a bit troublesome, but at least it wasn't to the point where it couldn't be overcome. After all, entertainment value was also a guarantee of viewership. The broadcast company didn't want to have some drowsy hide-and-seek for the sake of convenience.
The time limit was abolished, but in the early days, the five minutes were quite reasonable. Five minutes was more than enough for a full 1v1 match. For example, in the current format where life and death were determined, the majority of 1v1 matches could be finished within five minutes.
Those that lasted beyond five minutes were usually careful and dirty plays, where the two sides slowly wore each other down.
However, the current match clearly wasn't like that. One Leaf Of Autumn and Desert Dust fiercely clashed. Almost a fifth of the map had been destroyed by the two of them. Where was the slightest trace of dirty play?
Just like this, the two sides were actually deadlocked for ten minutes. That was extremely rare. Moreover, ten minutes clearly wasn't the end. The two players still had a quarter of their health left!
The audience was dumbstruck. It was a bit boring for the commentator to blindly explain the skills used by the two sides, so he quickly searched for some information and began talking about the time limit.
"Ten minutes! Sun Xiang and Han Wenqing's 1v1 match has already gone on for ten minutes. Currently, both sides still had a quarter of their HP left. At this rate, they should be able to fight for 13 minutes. Friends who are familiar with Glory's various records might think that this time isn't too amazing, but everyone should know that the ones who set the record for an extremely long time are mostly dirty playstyles. This is the first time I've seen such an intense clash that lasted more than 10 minutes, at least in my commentary career. "The commentator spoke without end. Because this situation was rather unexpected, he naturally did not do his homework beforehand. At this moment, he could only search at the last minute. In a short period of time, he could not take stock of the nature of the matches in the records. The commentator could only use his rich experience as evidence to prove that this match was unusual.
In reality, Glory players with a bit of experience didn't need him to say such nonsense. Who hadn't fought one-on-one in the Arena? Everyone knew what ten minutes meant, and they had seen how intense the fight was. No one paid any attention to the commentator's chatter. Everyone was focused on the match.
"Who will win?" Chen Guo grabbed Ye Xiu's arm and asked. This match was indeed evenly matched. It was hard to tell who had the upper hand. Chen Guo suspected that she wasn't good enough to tell, so she wanted to get some information from Ye Xiu, who was at a higher level.
"It's hard to say right now." Ye Xiu said.
"Why?"
"They still have a lot of HP." Ye Xiu said.
"What do you mean?" Chen Guo didn't understand.
"Right now, neither of them has the upper hand. They still have a quarter of their HP left, so they can't rely on one chance to win. They have to drag it out a bit longer, at least until they reach Red Blood!" Ye Xiu said.
"What happens after Red Blood?" Chen Guo asked.
"After Red Blood, a high damage skill can decide the match." Ye Xiu said.
"Oh..." Chen Guo nodded her head, not quite understanding. On the other side, Tang Rou was also very focused on this match. After all, the Battle Mage was her current character. In this match, she could see a few tricks like a pro. However, her Han Yanrou wasn't even Level 40 yet. She still lacked a lot of skills, so the things she could see were limited. However, just from the low-level skills that Han Yanrou knew, Tang Rou could see a huge gap.
Whether it was the controller or the character...
The audience was no longer cheering. This was because the match was in a stalemate. While both sides were attacking each other, they were also constantly blocking each other's attacks. The audience thought that there would be a climax, but in the end, they realized that their cheers were all for naught. In the end, after so many of these empty cheers, everyone started to feel embarrassed. Wouldn't it seem like they weren't good enough?
Everyone watched silently, silently waiting for the result of this match.
However, they would suddenly realize: Ah! The two players had lost so much HP again.
As for how the HP was lost, no one could see the details clearly. Many of the audience members were at a loss as to whether or not this match could be considered intense. The two characters continued to fight, but it also seemed like nothing had happened. The only thing that remained was the fact that their HP was constantly dropping. Just like this, ten minutes passed, and the two characters' HP suddenly lit up with red lights.
"Red blood!" Chen Guo shouted.
"Yeah, it's time to decide the winner. Watch carefully." Ye Xiu said.
It was time to decide the winner.
Ye Xiu wasn't the only one who understood this. At the pro player seats, everyone was holding their breaths as they watched.
In fact, the previous ten minutes were all just a prelude. This final moment would be the climax. The only climax in the entire match would also be the end of the match.
One Autumn Leaf, in the middle of the stage, suddenly retreated after this exchange. At this crucial moment that would determine the outcome of the battle, he changed his tactics and gave up on attacking blindly. Relying on the Battle Mage's Chaser buff and Fighting Spirit's high mobility, he began to wander around, waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to his opponent.
As for Han Wenqing? However, at this final moment, he decided to carry out the attack that he had been carrying out all along.
"Wow!!!!" The silent audience suddenly erupted with screams and applause ….. After this change, in the eyes of the audience members, who couldn't see clearly, Han Wenqing suddenly had the upper hand. Even though the reason for the audience's outburst was wrong, it was still just right. The climax of the match was about to begin.
"F * ck, Sun Xiang, you bastard!!!" Chen Guo yelled angrily. She wasn't a neutral fan. This time, she was 100% hoping that Sun Xiang would win. However, this was mainly because of her support for the team. As for Sun Xiang, he hadn't been in Excellent Era for long. Chen Guo wasn't his diehard fan yet! As soon as she saw him suddenly acting timidly, she immediately looked down on him.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Just watch." Ye Xiu hastily advised.
"Look at that good-for-nothing!" Chen Guo yelled.
"I feel that he's playing quite calmly." Tang Rou, who hadn't participated in the discussion, suddenly spoke up.
"Yeah." Ye Xiu nodded.
"Really? That's good ….. "Chen Guo didn't argue. She was nervous, but after hearing that Sun Xiang wasn't going to lose, she was quite relieved.
Attack, continue to attack!
Han Wenqing didn't seem to know what caution and calmness were at this crucial moment. He continued to attack like a madman.
Collapsing Fist! Desert Dust threw a punch. One Leaf Of Autumn, who had just landed, rolled back in a panic.
Whirlwind Kick! Desert Dust chased after him, spinning his leg in the air. The two skills were connected very quickly, but Sun Xiang's control was even faster. One Leaf Of Autumn, who had already rolled back, didn't get up at all. He then rolled to the other side. This was just a basic movement, but it wasn't easy to achieve such a seamless connection between two rolls. He couldn't do it. If there was a slight bump between the two rolls, he would have been swept by that Whirlwind Kick.
Soaring Tiger!!!
Han Wenqing once again used a high-level skill when he didn't have a good opportunity. Desert Dust flew forward, and both his legs kicked towards One Leaf Of Autumn.
"Pu!"
This time, even a seamless roll couldn't be dodged. Desert Dust's legs kicked One Leaf Of Autumn's chest, and he was sent flying. Desert Dust used the momentum of this kick to jump behind One Leaf Of Autumn. He turned around in midair and extended his leg again. This time, he used Eagle Stamp to finish off One Leaf Of Autumn. Soaring Tiger's damage wasn't enough to kill, but if he used a complete skill, it would be enough.
Everyone thought that the match would end in an instant. Chen Guo was about to curse, but then she saw One Leaf Of Autumn, who had already been stepped on, roll back on the ground. He didn't fall after using a Quick Recover. Then, before he could even turn around, his spear Evil Annihilation had already stabbed out. It was a Sky Strike.
Everyone was stunned. Sky Strike was the weakest spell among Battle Mages, but this Sky Strike was cast with his back facing his opponent. Using this abnormal method, One Leaf Of Autumn managed to snatch this attack, and it clashed with Desert Dust's Eagle Stamp.
One stomp, one uppercut.
The two skills clashed, and the priority was equal. One Leaf Of Autumn was forcefully pushed back, and Desert Dust was also sent flying back in midair.
One Leaf Of Autumn pulled back his spear, and the jet-black Evil Annihilation rose up like a dragon raising its head. Then, a surge of magic gathered on the spear's body. A Battle Mage was, after all, a Mage. His intrepid fighting strength didn't completely rely on strength, but rather a large amount of magic buffs.
Evil Annihilation stabbed out, and the magic gathered on the spear formed a black dragon. It roared as it swept up the dust on the ground, and pounced towards Desert Dust.
Battle Mage Level 70 Strongest Skill: Rising Dragon Soars The Sky!
Everyone thought that the match was over, but this time, Chen Guo was ready to cheer.
"Glory!!!"
These two words were displayed on the electronic screen.
But after seeing Evil Annihilation's dragon form disappear from Rising Dragon Soars the Sky, the players were surprised to find Desert Dust standing next to One Autumn Leaf.
A target hit by Rising Dragon Soars The Sky definitely wouldn't appear next to them. Without a doubt, this Rising Dragon Soars The Sky didn't hit.
The one who received the glory was Han Wenqing and his Desert Dust. One Leaf Of Autumn, fell.
