Ye Xiu was also astonished. He could understand why Herb Garden's players were angrily accusing Lu Hanwen of being despicable. This was because Lu Hanwen's skill wasn't from a Blade Master. It was a Cleric skill: Wish Prayer.
This skill's use was to help a character recover their mana. Everyone thought that these two pro-level Blade Masters were dueling. Who would have thought that Lu Hanwen's Cleric would sneakily give him a Wish Prayer? Having mana meant that he had skills; having no mana meant that all his skills were sealed. Liu Xiaobie was also shocked when he saw Drifting Cloud's body suddenly glow with Wish Prayer. But before he could do anything, Lu Hanwen had already begun to counterattack. Neither side had much health left. With such an overwhelming advantage, Lu Hanwen finished off his opponent in a few moves. Herb Garden's players finally reacted. When they saw that this guy was still proudly shouting "victory", they immediately cursed.
But not only did the other side not feel ashamed, he even spoke with conviction.
Happy's group suspected that this was Ye Xiu's bad influence, but Herb Garden's players didn't care. They were already angry. They didn't get along with Blue Brook Pavilion. Seeing their own pro player get killed by the other side in such a despicable manner, how could they bear it? They all rushed forward. At this time, even the guild leader couldn't stop them.
The few great experts who were watching didn't have the slightest intention of stopping the fight. They quickly withdrew from the chaotic scene.
"If it weren't for the fact that you weren't using a Cleric today, I would have suspected that you were the one who cast that Wish Prayer." Zhang Xinjie said.
"This kind of random suspicion isn't in line with your usual strict style." Ye Xiu said.
"If I think about it carefully, did you order a Cleric to cast it?" Zhang Xinjie asked.
"I think you were the one who did it!" Ye Xiu said.
"I didn't." Zhang Xinjie actually answered seriously.
"If that child found someone to release it himself..." Lin Jingyan said, pausing for a moment, "I can't help but think of an old friend."
"Old Wei, right?" Ye Xiu said.
"Right!" Lin Jingyan said.
"Blue Rain's former captain?" Zhang Xinjie asked.
"Yes. That person … "Lin Jingyan paused again, as if he was thinking about how to phrase it.
"Extremely shameless. Extremely shameless. Extremely shameless." Ye Xiu, however, said it without any scruples.
"Hehe …" Lin Jingyan felt a little awkward just listening to it. Even though he thought that this description was extremely accurate, Lin Jingyan didn't want to talk about someone behind their back, so he stopped mid-sentence. He couldn't think of any other suitable words besides this description.
"If this kind of thing happened to him, then it's definitely reliable." Ye Xiu said.
"Hehe …" Lin Jingyan was still laughing dryly.
Zhang Xinjie, on the other hand, was a little confused. After becoming a pro player in Season 4, he didn't have the chance to meet this former captain of Blue Rain. There weren't even any legends about him. At this time, Blue Rain had two rookies who were in the same batch as him, and their limelight had completely overshadowed their seniors. If it weren't for the fact that Team Tyranny had a similarly experienced player, Han Wenqing, Zhang Xinjie might not have even heard of the name Wei Chen. Many of the current young players didn't know many of the big names in the early days of the Alliance.
"Who were you introducing yourself to just now?" Wei Chen came over at this time. In reality, he had heard Ye Xiu say "Old Wei", so he came over to take a look.
"That child, Blue Rain, may be like you, unscrupulous in her pursuit of victory!" Ye Xiu said. Before, he didn't think that Lu Hanwen would be like this, but thinking about it carefully, in their previous encounters, he didn't have many opportunities to do so.
"Really? He's that promising? " Wei Chen sighed in amazement. Instead of praising this future star, it was better to say that he was praising himself for being especially good.
The people who had originally wanted to laugh at Ye Xiu for leading Blue Rain's rookies astray couldn't bear to watch any longer.
They didn't care about what would happen between Herb Garden and Blue Brook Pavilion. Ye Xiu's group and Tyrannical Ambition's group dispersed. Everyone went about their own business and continued to wait for the next boss to spawn.
In their free time, Ye Xiu would run dungeons with the others. On one hand, he could give pointers to the others. On the other hand, he could store up dungeon materials, just in case.
As for Zhang Xinjie and Lin Jingyan, unless there was a wild boss, they wouldn't waste time in the game. The two were now talking about Blue Rain's newly announced rookie, Lu Hanwen.
"He's already quite strong. Even in a team like Blue Rain, he has the qualifications to be a part of the main roster." Lin Jingyan expressed his opinion.
"But Blue Rain already has Huang Shaotian's Blade Master. If they get another Blade Master player, who knows what they'll do." Zhang Xinjie said.
"If he's just a substitute for Huang Shaotian, it'd be too much of a waste." Lin Jingyan said.
"Of course." Zhang Xinjie nodded his head.
Esports didn't use up a lot of stamina. In addition, there was only one match a week, so the matches weren't packed together. Players wouldn't have to take turns because of stamina issues. There was a clear difference between a substitute player's chances of appearing on stage and a main roster player's chances of appearing on stage. Especially for a substitute player like Huang Shaotian, who was the ace of the team. Unless something happened to Huang Shaotian, there was no way a substitute could take up such an important role.
"But if you think about it from another perspective, it's not impossible for him to be Huang Shaotian's substitute. After all, he's still young!" Lin Jingyan suddenly said.
"Yeah." Zhang Xinjie also nodded his head. He immediately understood Lin Jingyan's meaning and expressed his agreement.
It was actually very difficult to find a substitute for an ace player. This was because this position was the core of the entire team's operation. If they wanted to ensure that the team wouldn't have any problems, it was best if this position didn't have any problems. So when they had no choice but to use a substitute, everyone hoped to have a substitute who was as good as the ace player. Then, the chances of a substitute for an ace player were very slim. How could any player who was close to the ace player be content with sitting on the bench for an entire season?
That was why Lin Jingyan said this.
Because Lu Hanwen was very strong, but he was such a young player. It couldn't be more normal for a young player to be a substitute. In this way, Blue Rain might really have an ace player that everyone wanted, but was impossible to have.
"If it's just a substitute, then it's fine." Zhang Xinjie said.
"Yeah, but in the individual competition or group arena, I feel like Blue Rain will definitely give him a chance to appear." Lin Jingyan said, "An ace substitute seventh player. Oh, if you look at it like that, it doesn't seem like anything new."
The so-called ace substitute seventh player was a model that many teams used. It was like a standard model.
The six people that appeared in the team competition could basically be seen as the team's main six. The individual competition and group arena also required six people to appear. Moreover, the six people that appeared in the team competition could be duplicated. So, most teams' six main players had to compete in the individual competition or the group arena, as well as the team competition.
However, among these six main players, there would definitely be a healing-type class like a Cleric or Paladin. These classes wouldn't appear in the individual competition or the group arena. This guaranteed that a team's seventh player would definitely have a chance to appear in the individual competition or the group arena.
And this chance to appear in the team competition was given to the ace player's substitute.
The ace player's substitute was basically the strongest of the substitutes. They might even be close to the main player. Without a chance to appear in the team competition, this kind of player couldn't be kept. As a result, many teams used a stable chance to appear in the individual competition or the group arena to give the other player a sense of presence. Then, they used a few adjustments in the team competition to stabilize their mood. Over time, the phrase "ace substitute seventh player" came into being. It referred to this player who received a bit of special treatment.
However, as Glory's competitive scene developed, there were more and more outstanding players. It was already very difficult to see a clear difference in strength between the main players and the substitutes. Now, more and more teams pursued a variety of tactics. They would often rotate nine, ten, or even more players. Sometimes, the substitutes would play better than the main player. In the end, the substitutes would become the main player, and the main player would become the substitutes. However, this kind of situation only happened to the main players. Every team's ace player was still a God. They couldn't be replaced by just any substitute. As a result, sometimes, the ace substitute wasn't as good as the other substitutes. As a result, two years ago, the identity of the "ace substitute seventh player" had become a blur between special treatment and an awkward situation. Many teams were already researching how to solve this problem. This sort of "ace substitute seventh player" plan probably wouldn't be enough to satisfy the current pro scene.
Lin Jingyan and Zhang Xinjie had talked quite a bit about Lu Hanwen's position in Team Blue Rain. They obviously cared more about him than Ye Xiu. Because for a team that aimed to win the championship, it was impossible for them to not care about Team Blue Rain. This was very likely an obstacle that they had to overcome in the playoffs. A strong and promising rookie who was only 14 years old could be said to be a hurdle in Tyranny's path for the next ten years. He couldn't be treated lightly.
However, the reason why the two of them were chatting was because of the importance and concern they had for this problem. As for what would happen, it would depend on Blue Rain's arrangements after the start of the new season.
On this day, Lu Hanwen had become the main character of the Glory scene. Many places were talking about him. Following the announcement of his identity, quite a few people began to connect him to the Blade Master Drifting Cloud from Blue Brook Pavilion. Tyranny was the first to pay attention to him, but he definitely wouldn't be the last. Liu Xiaobie, who had been defeated by Lu Hanwen, didn't think that he would become as popular as the fans. He quickly mentioned this rookie from Team Blue Rain to his teammates, reminding them that Team Blue Rain might be a bit different this season.
