Brilliant Edge fell.
An All Star player, an All Star character, in front of Zhou Zekai, had actually lost so thoroughly. Yu Feng's performance didn't show any obvious problems, because Zhou Zekai was too strong.
Such a brilliant performance was enough to conquer anyone. Normally, even if this was Samsara's away game, even if all the people sitting here were Blue Rain's fans, such a brilliant performance would be enough to win applause.
But right now, the stadium was silent.
It wasn't that Blue Rain's fans were stingy with their polite applause. It was just that this match was too crucial for them. Blue Rain's tactical arrangements were quite obvious. Right now, Yu Feng, who had been specially sent out to support the individual competition, had already been defeated. Would they be able to win the remaining two matches under Samsara's powerful offensive?
Under these circumstances, how could Blue Rain's fans be in the mood to applaud their opponents' brilliance?
Blue Rain's fans looked at the flashing screen of the remaining two players that would be sent out, and their hearts were silent. These two players couldn't even be considered part of Blue Rain's first-string roster. Team Blue Rain's captain, Yu Wenzhou, normally wouldn't appear in a 1v1. Xu Jingxi's character was a Paladin. Even though his self-preservation abilities were very high, his offensive abilities were relatively weak. Very few teams would have a healer like him play in the individual competition or the group arena.
As a result, Team Blue Rain's usual six first-string players were reduced to four.
Yu Feng was arranged to be a safety valve in the individual competition. The remaining three naturally formed a strong lineup for the group arena. In the individual competition, they could only be second-string substitutes.
And their opponents were Samsara's outstanding Lu Boyuan, as well as Samsara's vice-captain, the All Star Jiang Botao.
When the second group competition started, the fans in the stadium were even a bit stunned. It wasn't until the commentator and guests were nagging for a while that the audience came back to their senses. Only then did they remember that this was the moment when the team needed their encouragement the most!
Everyone began to yell and shout.
Glory!!
When the two words were about to burst out of the electronic screen, the scene once again fell into a dead silence.
Lu Boyuan's Grappler, Chaotic Cloudy Mountains, used a fatal Air Drop to tear apart his opponent in midair and heavily threw him to the ground, killing him. Samsara was leading 2-0.
The third victory of the individual competition had become the match point.
If Samsara won, they would directly become the champions of Season 8. If Blue Rain won, they would have a chance of winning. As long as they won the group arena and team competition, they would be able to catch up to Samsara. Samsara had gotten this kind of score from Blue Rain in the previous match. Originally, people believed that Blue Rain had the ability to return the favor, but now that the match had reached this point, almost no one was optimistic about Blue Rain.
Samsara sent out their vice-captain, the experienced All Star player Jiang Botao.
What about Blue Rain? Contestant Lin Feng, Thief. Although there were no weak players in a strong team, Lin Feng, as a second-string player, couldn't be said to be weak. But against Jiang Botao and his Spellblade, Empty Waves, the two sides couldn't be compared at all.
"Lin Feng! Do your best!!! " This time, the Blue Rain fans didn't hesitate. It was already the final moment. There was no point in thinking too much.
Would Lin Feng become Blue Rain's savior?
The commentator and guest started talking again. What "pressure"? What "big match"? Hearing this, the live audience was getting a bit angry. Even though they knew that the two were speaking the truth, the two's emphasis made everyone feel even more anxious. The live audience cheered even harder. Even though the commentator and guest had the support of the equipment, their voices had already become nothing more than floating clouds. Fortunately, the match soon began. The noise gradually died down. Many people were so nervous that they forgot to continue cheering.
Even the audience was starting to lose their voices due to the pressure, let alone the players onstage.
Lin Feng, Team Blue Rain's second-string player. Perhaps even he had never thought that there would be a day when he would become the focus of the entire Glory scene on such an important stage like the finals. It was as if victory or defeat was completely in his hands. Even Jiang Botao, who was on the same stage as him, didn't receive as much attention as he did. Clearly, more people hoped that the match could continue, and not be ended here by Samsara.
Pressure!
This was the key phrase of this match. The commentator and guest Li Yibo happily discussed how pressure could affect a player.
As for Lin Feng?
He didn't seem to be trembling from the pressure, but in the end, he was still affected by the pressure. He played extremely cautiously, extremely cautiously. He knew that if he lost, his team would directly end here, so he wanted to make sure that he was in an invincible position. Before attacking, he wanted to defend. He would always be on the lookout for an escape route.
Was this a good thing to do?
In reality, no one could say for sure right now. Sometimes, the winner was king and the loser was in the wrong. If you won, you could be praised for being calm and steady. If you lost, you could be criticized for being conservative.
The guest, Li Yibo, was an experienced old fox. At the start, when he was asked to comment on Lin Feng's fighting style, he just hummed and hummed and casually said some superficial things, like a dog-head strategist giving some ideas. As the match progressed, he saw that Jiang Botao was gradually gaining the upper hand. Li Yibo began to understand the trend of the match. He began to boldly say, "Tsk, Lin Feng is still playing a bit too conservatively! But it's understandable. The burden on his shoulders is too heavy. A second-string player like him really doesn't have the experience to deal with this kind of pressure. Blue Rain's arrangement was originally to avoid this kind of pressure. For this reason, they even put Yu Feng in the first match. But now, this enormous pressure is actually on Lin Feng's shoulders. "
After all, he was a pro player and was currently the most famous commentator in the pro scene. Even though there were times when he couldn't explain it clearly, even though there were times when he couldn't see through it, even though there were times when he would be slapped in the face, for Li Yibo to be in this position, he still had the ability. He was still able to see that Lin Feng's situation wasn't good.
Everyone's hearts had been in their throats since the start of the match.
In reality, this match wasn't very exciting. There weren't any dazzling or intense exchanges. The audience, commentators, and guests were all paying too much attention to Lin Feng. In reality, Lin Feng's opponent, Jiang Botao, was also playing cautiously. As long as he defeated his opponent in this match, he would be able to win the championship. This was also a type of pressure.
As a result, there was a famous saying in the pro scene: the finals were nameless matches.
This was because in these crucial matches, the vast majority of people would be careful and cautious. They would first try to put themselves in an invincible position. Throwing caution to the wind in this kind of crucial match required courage and boldness.
The third round of the individual competition was definitely not going to be a classic.
Both players were very careful, but in the end, Jiang Botao still had the upper hand.
The pressure on him was less. His skill level was originally higher, and his character was also stronger than Lin Feng's.
If Lin Feng wanted to beat him, he needed to explode. He needed to perform above his usual level. If everything was allowed to proceed smoothly without any accidents, victory or defeat would often become a result on paper.
In the end, Lin Feng's Thief couldn't hold on. When he didn't have much health left, Jiang Botao's Empty Waves boldly attacked. Perhaps it was because the two players had been relatively careful the entire match, but Lin Feng was already used to this kind of cautious rhythm. Jiang Botao's sudden burst had thrown Lin Feng into disarray.
He already had many shortcomings, and in this moment, he was the first to panic.
Under Jiang Botao's swift control, the Spellblade's Wave Formation covered the area, and the Wave Sword's combination attack finally firmly suppressed Lin Feng's Thief.
Lin Feng wasn't able to create a miracle. The word "Glory" flashed up on the screen. Li Yibo shook his head and sighed. "He's still too conservative!"
"Your analysis is incisive …" the commentator said.
The match ended. In the individual competition, Samsara defeated Blue Rain 3-0. With a score of 10.5 to 2.5, the competition for the championship ended early.
The result that countless people had been worried about before the match had really happened.
Blue Rain's stadium was deathly silent for the most part, but in a certain area, there was laughter and singing. Blue Rain's home stadium didn't mean that only Blue Rain's fans were present. There were also many neutral fans, and there were even some Samsara fans. The only ones who could still laugh as much as they wanted were Samsara fans. Only they didn't mind that this match had ended early. They didn't mind at all.
Because this showed Samsara's strength, Samsara's invincibility.
"If I remember correctly, this is the first time in the history of Glory that a championship final has ended prematurely …" The commentator said this line. Of course, this was prepared in advance. If there was such a possibility in a match, he would obviously make preparations for it.
"Yes, that's right." Li Yibo nodded his head. "This is the first time."
"Let us express our congratulations to Team Samsara for their first championship in the Glory Pro Alliance. They are also the fifth team to win the championship. Before them, there had been four other teams that won the championship. They were the Excellent Era team that won three consecutive championships. It's a pity that we won't be able to see them next season. "
"There's also Team Tyranny, the team that won four consecutive championships in the Excellent Era, in Season 4. If you're familiar with Team Tyranny from that time, you'll know that Li Yibo was a core member of that Team Tyranny. After helping Team Tyranny win the championship that year, he announced his retirement in the summer. "
"Haha." Li Yibo laughed modestly.
"There's also Team Micrograss. They won three consecutive championships in the Lian Jin Finals. They had the opportunity to create a new dynasty. Unfortunately, in Season 6, they were defeated by Team Blue Rain, another team in the finals today. They weren't able to win three consecutive championships. "
"Then now, in Season 8, let us congratulate the new champions, Team Samsara!!!"
