To Wang Jiexi, the name Wei Chen was nothing more than a question about Wei Chen's age. After all, the two of them didn't have much interaction, so he didn't think too much about it. But for Team Blue Rain, the meaning of Wei Chen's name was very different. The new issue of Esports Home was spread out on the table. Blue Rain's players gathered to look at it, but no one stopped them because they were all in a daze.
Blue Rain's players, even if it was a little guy like Lu Hanwen, who couldn't compare to Wei Chen, it was impossible for them not to have heard of Wei Chen's name. Wei Chen was a part of Team Blue Rain's history. He was the person who laid the foundation for Team Blue Rain. Team Blue Rain's current two Gods were both closely related to Wei Chen.
The captain, Yu Wenzhou, had taken over the Warlock Swoksaar. That was the character that Wei Chen had brought from the game into the pro scene. Later on, he left, but his character stayed, becoming a very important member in this era of shining stars.
There was also Huang Shaotian. He had been discovered by the first captain, Wei Chen, in the game, and then brought into Blue Rain's training camp to be nurtured into an official pro player. Speaking of which, his relationship with Wei Chen wasn't simple. It could even be said that without Wei Chen, there wouldn't be today's Huang Shaotian.
"Why did Boss Wei come here?" Hearing how Huang Shaotian addressed Wei Chen, it was clear that Wei Chen had a special place in his heart. Calling him Boss was both respectful and intimate. Whether it was Blue Rain's current captain, Yu Wenzhou, or the second captain, Fang Shijing, he had never called them that before.
"After he retired, he contacted Ye Qiu? This time, Ye Qiu made a comeback and invited him? "Yu Wenzhou made a rough guess. There was pitifully little information available, but it definitely had something to do with Ye Qiu. Yu Wenzhou was certain of this.
"Are they friends?" Huang Shaotian asked.
Yu Wenzhou was also taken aback. At that time, he and Huang Shaotian weren't official players. They were just rookies in Blue Rain's training room. However, because this was the early days of the Pro Alliance, the Club system wasn't as standardized as it was now. The echelon between the training camp and the professional team was not so obvious. Everyone was more like a family. As a result, even though they weren't part of the same system, Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian were still relatively clear on the team's situation.
"If you ask me, not only do we not have any friendship, we even hate each other to the core, right? I remember in the playoffs of the first season, we were eliminated by Excellent Era. At that time, after the match, Boss Wei cursed at Ye Qiu for about half an hour, right? "Huang Shaotian recalled.
"I think that happened." Yu Wenzhou nodded.
"Then you're saying that the two of them have hooked up again?" Huang Shaotian said.
"Probably … they're also unwilling to accept it!" Yu Wenzhou sighed.
Huang Shaotian was also taken aback after hearing this. Wei Chen's retirement at that time had been quite embarrassing. In the second season, Blue Rain's results had declined greatly under his leadership, and he himself hadn't been able to perform as well as he should have. Everyone thought that Wei Chen had gotten old. And in the team's training competition, he had unexpectedly been defeated by Yu Wenzhou three times in a row. Even though this kind of competition where seniors gave pointers to rookies wasn't serious, Yu Wenzhou wasn't Huang Shaotian, who had already been locked in as a future ace. At that time, he had always been viewed as a member with no talent.
This kind of loss inevitably caused the club to be filled with rumors. After that season, Wei Chen decisively retired, never coming into contact with the pro scene again, and disappeared without a trace. But now, after six years, Wei Chen's name actually appeared in the Esports Home. Could it be that he had been training bitterly these past six years?
"I have to see Boss Wei's current skill level!" Huang Shaotian was the first to leave the crowd, and found a computer to search for Happy's match. Team Blue Rain really didn't care about the Challenger League.
When Huang Shaotian left, everyone followed. Yu Wenzhou looked behind. There was still an official match tonight, but now everyone was gossiping about it. That wasn't good. However, if he forced everyone to not pay attention to this gossip, it might backfire and make it hard for the players to focus. As a result, he didn't stop them, and allowed everyone to join in on the fun. As for himself, he silently stood to the side, watching Huang Shaotian fiddle with the computer.
"Got it!" Huang Shaotian moved nimbly, and quickly found a video of Happy's match against Team Everlasting. There were many teams in the initial stages of the Challenger League, so the officials wouldn't organize any videos for you. The ones Huang Shaotian found were all recorded by spectating players and uploaded online.
The video was the entire first round of the match. Huang Shaotian originally wanted to find Wei Chen's Warlock to fight, but when the first round started, he saw Baozi's character. He recognized him! Wasn't that the idiot who asked him about his horoscope? Huang Shaotian immediately became interested. He didn't move, and just watched the match.
After watching for a while, Team Blue Rain's players, including Huang Shaotian, all revealed expressions of shock. After watching for a while, Huang Shaotian was the first to confirm. He immediately laughed out loud: "He really is an idiot! He actually can't find his way. Hahahaha, what an idiot. "
When everyone heard this, they all raised their eyebrows. A player immediately asked: "Young Master Huang, you know this person?"
"Cough, how could I know this kind of idiot." As Huang Shaotian spoke, he immediately wanted to delay the match, but in his heart, he especially wanted to see if this Baozi's Invasion had any big moves. As a result, he delayed the match until the end, when he discovered that Baozi's Invasion had actually been beaten to death.
"F * ck!" Huang Shaotian cursed.
The others raised their eyebrows again, thinking to themselves, what are you doing?
In the second round, the player was One Inch Ash.
"The kid from Team Micrograss." Someone immediately recognized him. It was mentioned in the report! Players from Team Micrograss were quite eye-catching.
As a result, Huang Shaotian didn't move for this match. He enjoyed Qiao Yifan's performance with everyone else. At the end, his comment was: "Both sides are very professional, huh?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood. Qiao Yifan's arrangement must have been seen through by the spectators. However, Team Everlasting's player still fell for it. This meant that no one had warned him offline. In the Challenger League, this was a very high level of self-awareness. But on the other hand, for something like this, even if you had to warn someone, you had to do it skillfully. Otherwise, if you really did warn someone beforehand and aroused suspicion, the opponent had the right to send the match recording to the Alliance for judgment. If you did it too obviously and let others see through it, you would definitely be punished for breaking the rules if you didn't pass the Alliance's judgment.
After this match, what Team Blue Rain had been waiting for, Wei Chen's Windward Formation finally came onstage.
Windward Formation's opponent just happened to be Team Everlasting's Warlock, Leopold. In a battle of the same class, it was best to show off one's foundation.
The spectators were all pro players from Team Blue Rain. Did they even need to be mentioned? From the start, no one wanted Leopold to do well. The result was exactly what they had hoped for. Windward Formation could beat Leopold however he wanted.
"Tsk tsk tsk, too pitiful. It's pure teasing! Boss Wei is still so ….. that! "Huang Shaotian said.
Everyone pricked up their ears to listen! Of Team Blue Rain's players, the only ones who had directly interacted with Wei Chen were Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian. They didn't need to think about hearing gossip from their captain. Huang Shaotian was about to reveal something, but he actually blocked the key words. Where did this normally endless chatterbox go?
However, with Huang Shaotian's personality, even though he was the team's ace player, everyone was used to it. Someone immediately asked: "Still that, what is it?"
"Cough!" Huang Shaotian coughed heavily, but didn't reply.
Everyone was laughing and laughing as they watched Windward Formation completely crush Leopold. No one was taking the match seriously. Yu Wenzhou, on the other hand, was watching more carefully. He suddenly interrupted: "Windward Formation's cast range advantage is very obvious! Look at his equipment. "
No one here was an amateur. They just hadn't paid attention. Hearing their captain say this, they quickly noticed.
They could also check the character's equipment in the recording. Huang Shaotian moved his mouse over, and the first item was a Silver equipment. The Silver equipment's stats couldn't be hidden. Huang Shaotian was already shouting in surprise: "Not bad, there's even a Silver equipment!"
Following that, he continued to check the other equipment. The players present were all paying attention to whether or not there was a cast range equipment. Until he moved to the weapon.
"Oh, the weapon is also Silver!" Huang Shaotian exclaimed.
"It looks like it's on the weapon," Yu Wenzhou said. He was obviously very familiar with the Warlock class.
"This cast range …" Huang Shaotian paid attention. His observation and judgement were naturally quite astonishing, "It's two units lower than Swoksaar's, right?"
"But his equipment is still far from that!" Yu Wenzhou said.
Huang Shaotian understood this. It wasn't just the weapon that increased the cast range. With Windward Formation's current equipment, there was a lot of room for improvement. Needless to say, if Swoksaar's current equipment were switched with Windward Formation's, it was already possible to calculate how much Windward Formation's cast range would increase. After all, the majority of Windward Formation's equipment was Orange equipment. In reality, mixing and matching equipment like this would easily reveal the Silver equipment's stats. Huang Shaotian already had a rough idea of the stats of Windward Formation's Silver equipment. He believed that Yu Wenzhou's judgement would only be clearer than his.
"It'll be 1.4 units higher!"
Switching Swoksaar's equipment was something Huang Shaotian had made up in his own mind, but after that, he directly stated the conclusion. This meant that Windward Formation's Silver weapon, if paired with Swoksaar's Silver equipment, would be 1.4 units higher than the current number one Warlock in the Alliance.
1.4 units of cast range difference was enough to determine life and death in a high-level battle.
A true Death's Hand!
