This sudden wave of counterattack also caused Qiao Yifan's mind to be thrown into chaos. Even though he had been in the pro scene for a year, he had never participated in a match before. He had seen a lot of things in the pro scene, but his personal experience was far too little. Against normal players, because of his skill, he had more than enough time to deal with them. However, Team Everlasting's current player wasn't just a normal player. This kind of opening wasn't something a normal player could take advantage of.
In the end, Qiao Yifan was still lacking in high-level competition experience. Even in team practice, he could compare notes with champion level players like Micrograss. But that was just practice. Competition and practice couldn't be the same thing.
Qiao Yifan was a bit flustered after his opponent took advantage of this opportunity. On the other hand, Team Everlasting's Warlock was getting more and more comfortable. Leopold, who had originally been close to One Inch Ash, began to move further and further away from One Inch Ash. But this time, Team Everlasting's Warlock didn't pursue a safe distance. After creating some distance between them, he stopped. If the distance was closer, long-ranged attacks would be harder to dodge. Team Everlasting's Warlock had already decided to take the initiative to attack. He completely abandoned the cautiousness that Team Everlasting's tactics emphasized when facing One Inch Ash.
In a match, tactical discipline was important, but sometimes a player needed to be free to open up the situation. Team Everlasting's Warlock was doing just that. He relied on his decision at this crucial moment to completely turn the situation around.
On the other hand, Qiao Yifan couldn't adjust his state of mind even after the situation had turned around. The more he wanted to do it, the more he couldn't do it.
There was no need to talk about the excitement in the audience chat. Previously, when Leopold was being suppressed by One Inch Ash, everyone clenched their fists and didn't say anything. Now that the situation had turned around, those clenched fists could finally be waved.
Leopold received wave after wave of cheers. The players on the field couldn't see this. On the contrary, the audience could see that Leopold was playing more and more smoothly, while One Inch Ash's movements were becoming more and more mechanical, unable to keep up with the pace.
The audience's original mentality was somewhat similar to Team Everlasting's Warlock. He didn't need to win this match, but he needed to at least leave behind a huge advantage for the people behind him. But from the looks of it, it was entirely possible that he could defeat One Inch Ash in one go!
Qiao Yifan also thought of this point. If he also lost, then his opponent would be fighting one against two, and it would be three against one. This situation would be a repeat of the previous round. And in the last round, the one who had the last laugh was Happy, who was in the lead three against one.
I can't let such a situation happen!
Qiao Yifan was anxious, but he was not experienced enough when it came to adjusting his mentality for a match. His performance was getting more and more out of hand. Immediately, Leopold took advantage of another opening and launched another series of attacks at the climax. What was even worse was that this time, the Warlock's control skill had restricted his movements. If he wanted to break free from this control, he would have to pay an even greater price, and this price wasn't something that One Inch Ash could afford.
Lost … Lost …
One Inch Ash finally fell.
In an extremely smooth situation, the opponent seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack. Qiao Yifan's hands and feet were thrown into disarray, and he was unable to regain his rhythm.
Team Happy had lost two characters, but what about Team Everlasting? The Warlock Leopold still had a third of his health left. Their advantage was even greater than the situation Tang Rou had created in the previous round.
"So … Sorry …" On Team Happy's side, Qiao Yifan stood up with an uneasy expression. When he spoke, he didn't dare to look at anyone.
He was an invisible member of Team Micrograss, a water cooler player. Apart from his good friend Gao Yingjie, he was an almost non-existent existence in the eyes of the others. As for Happy's side, even though they couldn't compare to Micrograss, at least he felt valued.
This feeling made Qiao Yifan smile even in his dreams. He decided that he wouldn't let down everyone's expectations of him. But unfortunately, in such a crucial match, he had failed. After Tang Rou had been completely defeated by the opponent, he, who should have had more experience than Tang Rou, wasn't able to take control of the situation. Especially in a situation where he had such a huge advantage, the opponent's counterattack had completely reversed the situation and taken him away. Let alone his teammates, even Qiao Yifan himself couldn't forgive himself.
"You don't need to apologize." At this moment, he heard that voice. During the All Star Weekend, when he had been so depressed that he had planned on giving up on being a pro player, it was this voice that had helped him regain his confidence.
"Winning or losing is normal. If you have to apologize every time you lose, that's too troublesome." Ye Xiu said.
Winning or losing was normal, but losing at such a crucial moment, wasn't that letting down everyone's expectations?
"I played too badly …" Qiao Yifan said.
"So play better next time." Ye Xiu replied. He was very calm, as if he didn't care at all. He used a tone that often made Chen Guo stomp her feet. But at this moment, the pressure in Qiao Yifan's heart lessened by quite a bit.
"You can do it, Boss!" Baozi unexpectedly jumped out and cheered at this moment. Happy and the others finally came back to their senses. The match wasn't over yet. There was still Ye Xiu and his Lord Grim who hadn't gone up yet. As long as they could complete a 1v3 …
"1v3, is that a problem?" Chen Guo asked directly.
"Haha." Ye Xiu laughed.
"What are you laughing at!" Chen Guo was angry.
"What 1v3?" Ye Xiu asked, "1v2 and a third."
"Okay …" Chen Guo admitted that she was wrong. Leopold really did only have a third of his health left.
"Let's do it one step at a time!" Ye Xiu said. His Lord Grim had already been sent to the player booth. On Team Everlasting's side, they had just finished a crazy round of celebration. Team Everlasting's players were like the spectators. They weren't looking forward to any sort of victory. They just hoped that Leopold would be able to take more of his opponent's health. In the end, Leopold won the second round beautifully. Everyone was satisfied from head to toe.
"Beautiful play!"
"Too amazing!"
The breaks in the match didn't stop the players from talking to each other. Everyone in Team Everlasting gathered around and gave all sorts of praises.
"Keep up the good work!" The final words were left for their boss, who was personally watching the match.
The third round of the group arena began very quickly.
The unspecialized Lord Grim and the Warlock Leopold entered the map after the countdown.
Lord Grim!
This was without a doubt the focus of Team Everlasting's preparations. Lord Grim's fame wasn't small right now, but unfortunately, there were very few PK recordings of him in actual combat. In the end, He An, who was the only one who had fought against Lord Grim in the previous round, shared his experience with everyone.
120 low level skills became what everyone needed to familiarize themselves with against Lord Grim this week. Players at their level wouldn't be unfamiliar with these skills. Just give them a piece of paper and they would be able to write them all down without thinking. However, for a single character to have all 120 skills, this kind of skill combination was something no one had ever seen before.
In the game, wasn't the difference between classes in terms of skills? And this kind of new skill combination was equivalent to a new class. How could it be easy to familiarize yourself with a new class and defeat it in a short week?
Let's not talk about the class, let's talk about the player …...
Lord Grim's player. Even though the media had confirmed that the player who signed up definitely wasn't Ye Qiu. However, the person who signed up and the person who was actually fighting were two different things.
There were too many unruly things like this in the Challenger League. Even though Ye Qiu came from the pro scene, how could he throw away his integrity to achieve his goal? Who dared to say that he wouldn't?
Team Everlasting definitely wouldn't dare, so they could only use their strongest opponent to prepare for the upcoming battle.
If it had been in the past, these people would have cramped up when they heard a name like Ye Qiu's opponent. However, this was a battle with their backs to the wall. Everyone cheered each other on. Those with ambition swore to crush God, while those without ambition swore to themselves that it wasn't Ye Qiu.
The team also spared no effort to magnify Lord Grim's weaknesses.
Especially the fact that his attack damage wasn't high. Anyone who had seen Lord Grim's match against He An's Go Forth could easily see it.
"So, even if it's Ye Qiu, we still have a chance. Don't forget, our goal is to defeat Excellent Era. "
At this moment, Team Excellent Era was thrown into chaos again. Compared to this powerhouse team, Ye Qiu's single person seemed weak and powerless. Team Everlasting was very familiar with this comparison. They had been well-versed in this ever since they were in the pro scene.
"Bring out your skill from before. Even if it's Ye Qiu, you don't have to be afraid of him. This is a competition. Even Ye Qiu isn't an invincible general." In the last moment of the battle, Team Everlasting's players gave their Warlock a few words of encouragement and then quietly retreated.
And this Warlock was in excellent condition. He decided to continue the playstyle he had used in the first half of the battle. He actively challenged his opponent. Even if he had to die, he had to at least take the opponent's life.
Lord Grim, come!
Team Everlasting's Warlock sang in his heart. Leopold strode forward. Soon, Team Everlasting's Warlock saw Lord Grim in the center of the map, at the Red Flower Pavilion.
"Lord Grim, bring it on!"
Team Everlasting's Warlock even yelled in the chat, drawing a wave of cheers from the audience.
"I'm coming." Lord Grim's reply was simple and plain. Because apart from the message, he had to show it with his actions.
The three anti-tank cannons were already whistling through the air.
Do you think you can hit me at this distance? Team Everlasting's Warlock had Leopold easily dodge, but following the sounds of gunfire, Lord Grim ran towards him while continuing to shoot. His rapid movements didn't seem to affect his aim at all.
Leopold could only continue to dodge, while Lord Grim continued to attack while closing in on him.
Team Everlasting's Warlock wasn't worried at all. Instead, he revealed a trace of a sly smile.
