In the Glory competitive scene, until the end of the match, no one dared to recklessly declare victory or defeat. But Zhou Zekai in the playoffs had already left a deep impression in everyone's hearts: he was invincible.
All of this came from his strong performance in the match. There wasn't a single comment outside of the match. Zhou Zekai was someone who only knew how to do, not talk.
Blue Rain had originally planned to send out Yu Feng to defend that one point, but now, they were facing off against their most powerful opponent. Even though Yu Feng was also an All Star player, at this moment, no one had high hopes for him.
The stadium was deathly silent. The fans, who had originally been cheering for the home team, suddenly fell silent after seeing the lineups of the two sides. It was as if they were attending a funeral. It was extremely quiet.
"Coach Li! Coach Li?! " The commentator was covering his voice as he called out. His commentator partner, the guest Li Yibo, looked like he had lost his soul after seeing the lineups of the two sides. The commentator had said a few words to draw out the guest's analysis, but in the end, he didn't get any response.
The commentator paused for a moment. The commentator hurriedly cut in and called back the absent-minded Li Yibo.
"Ah? Oh … … "Li Yibo hurriedly said. He finally woke up.
"This lineups, interesting … …" Li Yibo said.
Knowing that the match was about to begin, Li Yibo hurriedly seized the time and quickly explained: "Team Samsara unexpectedly sent out an extremely strong lineups. Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao, needless to say, should be Samsara's two strongest players. Next is Lu Boyuan. His strength can't be said to be above the others, but his performance in the playoffs, especially in the first round of the finals, was extremely outstanding. In this match, he will naturally be Samsara's third player."
"So you're saying that Team Samsara is determined to defeat Blue Rain in the individual competition?" The commentator asked.
"Haha." At this time, Li Yibo smiled, revealing the confident expression that he often had but was often defeated. "I have to admit, at the start, I overlooked a great advantage of this kind of troop arrangement."
"Oh?"
"With this arrangement, we can attack if we advance. This is needless to say. Conversely, we can also defend if we retreat. With Samsara's forceful lineup in the individual competition, their chances of winning two rounds in the individual competition were very high. If Samsara could win two rounds in the individual competition, then they would be in an undefeatable position. Even if Blue Rain performed heroically and won all the remaining matches, the two sides would at most be tied at 9.5 points to 9.5 points. They would still need to play additional matches to determine the winner. If you look at it from this perspective, it really is a smart strategy to go all out in the individual competition! "Li Yibo said.
"Your analysis is too incisive!" The commentator praised. At this moment, the first individual round had already begun.
Zhou Zekai faced off against Fang Qiu.
Cloud Piercer vs Brilliant Edge.
A tense atmosphere pervaded everyone's hearts. Blue Rain had deliberately set up a safety valve, but they just happened to run into their strongest attacker. Was this just a coincidence?
Taking advantage of the fact that the two characters hadn't clashed yet, Li Yibo hurriedly said a few more words: "Blue Rain arranged for Yu Feng to go first probably because they didn't want him to feel too much pressure. If he went third and Blue Rain lost the first two matches, then the entire burden of winning the finals would be on Yu Feng's shoulders. That would be too much pressure. So putting him in first or second wasn't a bad idea. However, I feel that the fact that he's the first to fight reveals something. "
"What message?" The commentator asked.
"Blue Rain hopes that Yu Feng can get a point in the first match. That way, they'll be able to guarantee victory in the individual competition. Next, the two players can relax and go into battle lightly. In this situation, they might even be able to win the match. And as long as one of them wins the match, then there won't be a tie in the finals. So in my opinion, putting Yu Feng first is Blue Rain trying to win the two individual matches. They don't want to use a playoff to decide the winner, "Li Yibo said.
"Oh …" The commentator replied, "But no matter what, they've hit an iron plate. Alright, everyone pay attention to the match screen. Brilliant Edge is now within Cloud Piercer's attack range. Will Zhou Zekai attack as soon as he sees it? "
"Oh, he hasn't. The two sides are still closing in. It looks like they're two close-combat classes. Of course, Brilliant Edge is a Berserker. He's a close-combat class, but Cloud Piercer isn't … He could already attack ten units away, but he's still closing in on his target! "
"Ah, he's attacking! Friends, this is the second round of the Glory Esports Alliance Season 8 finals. The first match of the individual competition is between Team Samsara's Zhou Zekai and Team Blue Rain's Yu Feng. The two characters on the field are Cloud Piercer and Brilliant Edge. The first attack has finally come. But what's surprising is that this attack isn't from Cloud Piercer, who has an attack range advantage, but from Brilliant Edge! Even though Berserkers are close-combat classes, those familiar with the class know that they also have mid-range attacks. Just now, Yu Feng had used the Saber Slash. That's right, Blade Master class, but it's a shared skill for Swordsmen before class advancement, Sword Draw! "
"But Zhou Zekai didn't choose to retreat. He used a Slide Kick. Cloud Piercer beautifully slid past the sword light of the Sword Draw. He switched from defense to offense! "
"Close combat! Cloud Piercer is actually going to close in on the Berserker … "
"Punisher … dodged … Spinning Kick, Knee Strike … hit. Oh, beautiful!! Cloud Piercer's attack rhythm is too fast. Even though Yu Feng's reaction speed isn't slow, he still wasn't able to dodge his opponent's pursuit … "
"Gatling Gun …"
"Oh, everyone look. Zhou Zekai is using Knee Strike and Gatling Gun to create a BBQ effect. Haha, BBQ is a shared Gunner skill. Because it has a grab priority and has decent damage control, it's a must-have skill for Gunners. Many players might have leveled it up to a very high level. However, those who are familiar with Cloud Piercer will know that Cloud Piercer's BBQ skill has only been leveled up once. This is because Zhou Zekai only needs this grab. As for the damage and effects of the Skewer skill, he can use his own Gatling Gun! "
"Grenade! Oh, he even threw a Mechanical Seeker! They're all shared low-level skills. They have short cooldowns. These skills are important for combos. "
"Wow, Random Firing!!"
"The airborne Brilliant Edge is being attacked by Cloud Piercer's Random Firing … he can't land because he's using Delivery Gun. This wave of Random Firing, all hits!!!"
"Barrett! Zhou Zekai's Swing Snipe, hit!! Headshot!! Double damage!! Even when the target is swaying due to Random Firing, he can still get a headshot, dealing double damage. Zhou Zekai, this is Zhou Zekai, the Great Gunner, Cloud Piercer!! "
The commentator went on and on about the match. On the side, Li Yibo was depressed! At first, he had been preparing to analyze why Zhou Zekai didn't attack from afar, but instead chose to fight at close range. However, the battle rhythm was so fast that the commentator continued to recite it like he was reading a textbook.
When it came to talking speed, the guest couldn't compare to the commentator. The guest's purpose was to use their professional eyes and judgment to analyze the player's choices and tactical intentions, helping the audience understand the meaning of the match. Unfortunately, the battle rhythm was too fast. The commentator was howling the entire time, so he didn't have time to comment. Yu Feng's Brilliant Edge had been hit in one wave, but the guest was still waiting to analyze the problem with the opening …
Okay, now there was a chance for him to say something. The problem was, was there any point in analyzing the opening now? How many people still remembered that moment?
Alright, our guest, Instructor Li, didn't care about these things. He had to make his presence known. Once the commentator stopped talking, he immediately followed up with his analysis. "Under normal circumstances, Sharpshooters would try their best to maintain their distance and kite their opponents to lower their health. At the right time, they would find an opportunity to burst out with a wave of attacks. But now, Zhou Zekai was the opposite. He approached his target directly, and as everyone saw, he unleashed a wave of explosive power! If a Sharpshooter has the advantage in the opening, it will be very difficult for the opponent. This is because Sharpshooters have a large AoE. If the opponent wants to escape from close range, the distance they need to get away is too great. Everyone, look at Yu Feng. His Brilliant Edge was already quite far away from Cloud Piercer, but Cloud Piercer's burst was still able to damage him. There's nothing that can be done. A Sharpshooter's attacks can reach that far. "
"But to dare use such a strategy, it shows how confident Zhou Zekai is, right? Even though Sharpshooters have physical skills, in reality, they still can't compare to true close-range classes, right? "The commentator said.
"Of course." Li Yibo nodded his head. He had finally said what he wanted to say. It felt great.
"Good! After the two sides exchanged skills, Yu Feng's Brilliant Edge tried to close in on the opponent again, but … but this time, Zhou Zekai changed his mind. He didn't plan on tangling with Yu Feng's Brilliant Edge in close range. He began to use the Sharpshooter's distance advantage to suppress Brilliant Edge's health … "
"Yu Feng might be in danger …" Li Yibo sighed.
This time, he wasn't wrong. In the first round of the individual competition, Yu Feng, who had been used as a safety valve by Blue Rain, was ruthlessly destroyed by Zhou Zekai.
