"What's wrong?" Hearing Ye Xiu's confusion, Wei Chen immediately asked.
Han Wenqing was a player from the early days, so Wei Chen obviously recognized him and had even fought against him before. But to him, that was a matter from many years ago. No matter how deep his impression of him was, it couldn't compare to how Ye Xiu had fought against him for so many years. Ye Xiu saw the problem, but he didn't notice it at all. In his eyes, both sides had fought intensely. Both sides had performed at a high level. As Tyranny's ace, Han Wenqing didn't seem to have done anything wrong. At least, Wei Chen didn't see anything wrong with him.
"Uh, it's not that he didn't do well, but I feel like something's wrong!" Ye Xiu said.
"What's wrong?" Wei Chen immediately asked. It wasn't without reason that he was a bit nervous. As an old player who had retired many years ago, his reaction speed and hand speed had definitely regressed. But if he didn't even have the experience, awareness, and insight that an old player should have, then it would be hard to say if he could adapt to the pro scene.
"I can't say for now … …" Ye Xiu frowned and shook his head.
Happy Internet Cafe would, without a doubt, broadcast the playoffs, but they would watch it from the practice room. Because of the difference in skill level, the two sides discussed different topics. Ye Xiu and Wei Chen could talk about it. Chen Guo knew a bit more, so she could listen in. As for Tang Rou and Bao Zi, after playing together for so many months, they weren't completely clueless anymore, so they could understand some things. But if the discussion was too detailed, the two wouldn't be able to handle it.
As for what Ye Xiu said about Han Wenqing, they were even more confused. They all stared at Ye Xiu, waiting for him to continue.
However, Ye Xiu did not say another word. The broadcast was already showing the post-match press conference. Tyranny and Misty Rain didn't have any grudges against each other. Both teams gave it their all in this match. Regardless of whether they won or lost, they wouldn't have too many regrets. At the press conference, both sides spoke the same way, affirming their own team's performance, optimistic about their opponent's performance, and confident about the next match.
As for Tyranny, Han Wenqing naturally had to attend as the team leader. Since Ye Xiu had specifically called him out, everyone paid close attention to him. Not only did they listen to what he said, but they also paid close attention to his subtle expressions. In the end, everything was normal. Han Wenqing couldn't see anything wrong. After the press conference ended, the broadcast came to an end. Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Xiu again, waiting for him to say something.
In the end, Ye Xiu only shook his head and returned to his computer.
After returning to his seat, Wei Chen saw that Ye Xiu was still deep in thought, so he didn't bother him. He only gave Ye Xiu a cigarette.
Ye Xiu accepted it and silently lit it, continuing to be silent. His subordinate had already opened up a website and browsed it twice.
Wei Chen looked and saw that it was a website dedicated to downloading Glory Alliance match recordings. Seeing Ye Xiu's expression, it seemed like he was going to download this match and carefully study it. However, this was a match that had just finished, so it would take some time to upload it. Seeing that there were no recordings to download, Ye Xiu opened up the folder he had organized and began flipping through all of Tyranny's match recordings.
Match after match, almost all of them were chased by Han Wenqing's Desert Dust. Gradually, Ye Xiu's eyebrows relaxed. Then, he browsed the website again. The newly finished match recordings had already been uploaded. Ye Xiu immediately downloaded them.
Wei Chen had been paying attention to this guy's changes. He saw that this guy had discovered something, so he immediately asked: "What did you see?"
"Pretty much!" Ye Xiu replied.
Chen Guo also came over: "What's the situation?"
"This guy is changing," Ye Xiu said.
"Change?"
"Yeah, he's changing his old playstyle. He's changing some of the Striker playstyles. He's researching a new playstyle for this class," Ye Xiu said.
"This guy really doesn't want to admit defeat!" Wei Chen stared blankly for a moment, then sighed with emotion.
Creating a new playstyle wasn't an easy task. Even in Glory, where leveling up would bring new skills or equipment, there would be a certain amount of changes. However, these changes based on new skills or equipment could only be called adjustments. There wouldn't be too much of a change. Because Glory's class balance was very good, there had never been any disruptive changes to any of the classes in the update.
For a player of Han Wenqing's caliber to be said by Ye Xiu to be researching a new playstyle, it obviously wasn't just an adjustment based on a small change. This sort of adjustment wasn't anything difficult for pro players, so it wasn't worth Ye Xiu making such a big fuss about it.
Han Wenqing's changes were clearly a real innovation.
Soon, the recordings of that night's match were downloaded. Ye Xiu immediately replayed it. Wei Chen and Chen Guo also came over. Tang Rou and Bao Zi were also interested, but this wasn't something they could understand.
To put it bluntly, pro players mainly focused on PvP. The biggest difference in PvP was that you had to at least understand all the classes. It didn't matter if you were playing a class or not, as a pro player, you had to understand all the skills, playstyles, and playstyles of any class. Tang Rou and Bao Zi were already quite familiar with their own Battle Mage and Brawler classes, but they were still far from understanding all the classes at a pro level. Let alone the two of them, even Chen Guo, who had been a gamer for several years, couldn't follow along and study the playstyle of a certain class.
Sure enough, the first place that Ye Xiu stopped to comment on, Chen Guo was at a loss. But this time, what made her happy was that it wasn't just her, even Wei Chen was at a loss.
"Look, this place." Ye Xiu, who had studied many of Desert Dust's recordings, had grasped the train of thought. He said confidently, "If it was in the past, he would have either used Reinforced Iron Bones to take the opponent head-on, or he would have jumped back and sent out a Roundhouse Kick. But now, with a sideways Crushing Punch, it looks like he's trying to use Blade Block. I've never seen such a train of thought before. "
"Really?" Wei Chen was at a loss. This was because Ye Xiu's comments were too detailed. This sort of thing should be the reaction of each player based on the situation. How could it be described by Ye Xiu as if it was a routine?
"And here." Without waiting for Wei Chen to understand, Ye Xiu had already pointed to another place: "Here, this Double Tiger Palm, don't you think it's a bit out of place?"
"Is it? I think it's just right... "Wei Chen continued to be at a loss.
On the screen was the team battle between Misty Rain and Tyranny. Misty Rain's two melee characters closed in under the cover of Chu Yunxiu's Windy City's Misty Rain's powerful AoE attacks. But in the end, Desert Dust suddenly turned around and closed in on the two. Then, with a Double Tiger Palm, he sent the two characters flying back.
"Cloud Body Double Tiger Palm, isn't that how you use it?" Wei Chen said. Cloud Body was a movement skill for Strikers. When Cloud Body used Double Tiger Palm, it was often called Cloud Body Double Tiger Palm. It was one of the most commonly used skills for Strikers.
"Cloud Body rose a bit later, but Double Tiger Palm came out earlier." Ye Xiu said.
"..." Wei Chen watched Ye Xiu replay it two more times before finally giving up: "Alright, who can tell?"
Wei Chen's words were directed at Chen Guo. Chen Guo immediately shook her head. Cloud Body Double Tiger Palm, she knew this sort of basic routine, but everyone had their own ways of using it. Han Wenqing's usage seemed to be quite effective. She really couldn't see what was wrong with it.
"If it was in the past, he wouldn't use it like that." Ye Xiu said.
"Then how did he use it in the past?" Wei Chen asked.
"Then is it better or worse now?" Chen Guo asked.
Ye Xiu just shook his head: "I can't say for sure. From what I see, he's probably still figuring it out."
After that, Ye Xiu continued to watch and found a few more places to talk about it. In the end, Wei Chen and Chen Guo continued to be confused. As they listened, the two of them finally understood. Han Wenqing's changes were still quite subtle at the moment. In some places, he only revealed his intentions, but in the end, Ye Xiu was able to see through them and then blabber on and on.
"Here, he hesitated..."
"This isn't his usual style..."
"He's probably thinking..."
In the end, after hearing Ye Xiu's conclusion, Chen Guo couldn't help but sigh: "The person who understands you the most is often your opponent. This saying really is true."
"That's right." Wei Chen nodded. He finally stopped being nervous. Not being able to see what Ye Xiu had seen wasn't an issue with his skill level. It was just that his understanding of Han Wenqing couldn't compare to Ye Xiu's. In addition, Ye Xiu was known as the Glory Textbook. For a class that wasn't a Warlock, his understanding of it was indeed deeper than Wei Chen's.
And from what he heard, Han Wenqing's innovation was still in the early stages. If he had really come up with a new combo or combo, then even a pro player wouldn't have been able to see it. Many old players would have been able to see it. Besides Ye Xiu, Wei Chen didn't know how many people in the pro scene could see it. In the press conference after the match, hadn't Misty Rain, who had just fought against Han Wenqing, not mentioned this change at all? This meant that Han Wenqing's current changes were still in the process of being modified. He hadn't really done it yet!
After thinking this through, Wei Chen wasn't in the mood to continue watching. He patted Ye Xiu and said: "You should let Tang Bingyao and Baozi listen to your chatter. It'll definitely help them become more familiar with the Striker class."
"Yes, it's time for the two of them to systematically strengthen their learning in this area." Ye Xiu heard this and nodded seriously.
