Amidst the cheers of the audience, the match officially began.
In the pro scene, there were very few overwhelming advantages. It wasn't possible to have such an exaggerated difference in skill between a veteran and a noob. A few powerful players and their God-level characters could suppress normal players and characters to a certain extent, but Su Mucheng and her Dancing Rain weren't at that level yet.
However, in comparison, Gao Jie and his Stellar Sword were a bit weaker. But this sort of strength on paper wasn't enough to determine victory or defeat. In this one on one match, it wouldn't be too surprising to see who would win or lose. How well one performed on the spot could widen this gap on paper, but it could also make up for it or even surpass it.
In the end, this was still a competition where people were the most important. Even God-level characters depended on the player's ability to control them. No matter how strong a player was, there would always be a time when they performed poorly and were defeated by others. What's more, this was an era where stars were shining brightly. Lines like "unrivaled is truly lonely" had been sealed for a long time.
"Beauty Su, I'm going to start!" In a message box next to the broadcast screen, a message from Stellar Sword popped up.
That's right. In a Glory match, even though the opposing side couldn't use voice to communicate, they could use text to communicate. In a match, there was only one public chat channel. And these text messages weren't censored, so they would be broadcasted directly for the audience to see.
In reality, in some matches, the highlight of the text messages between players was even greater than the actual fight. In the Alliance, there was no lack of experts who were skilled at using trash talk to disturb the opponent's mood. This was because once these words were sent, the opponent would definitely see them. There was no way to close or censor the message box.
Of course, whether or not they wanted to use this method was completely up to the player. In all these years, all kinds of players had appeared.
From start to finish, they would spout a few words whenever they had the time.
They would seize the opportunity to calmly roast.
From start to finish, they wouldn't say a single word, cherishing their words like gold.
They would even directly dirty the screen with the opponent's family members and their reproductive organs …
Even though this last type wouldn't be censored, the player would definitely be punished by the Alliance in the end. Moreover, with so many spectators watching, such vile words would definitely damage the player's image. Therefore, most of them had accidentally typed out forbidden words after being beaten. It had been a long time since someone specialized in this field appeared.
At this time, Gao Jie's opening speech contained a hint of flirting. The large number of fans in the Happy Internet Cafe immediately became enraged and roared to kill him. In the end, Su Mucheng just replied with a smiley face and a "Okay!"
Other than this opening sentence, Gao Jie didn't seem to have any other offensive words. He immediately drew his sword and began to attack. Stellar Sword was a Blade Master, while Dancing Rain was a Launcher. One was a long-ranged class, while the other was a close-ranged class. Relying on his familiarity with the map, Gao Jie stealthily approached Dancing Rain.
Why was Gao Jie familiar with the map? This was because the Glory Pro League's pre-season matches used a double round-robin system. There were home and away matches. The biggest advantage the home team had was the right to choose the battle map.
There were many maps in Glory and they were constantly being updated every year. As the host, if they knew what map they would use in advance, they would naturally do research and practice beforehand. As for the away team, they might have used this map before, but they clearly wouldn't have practiced as much as the home team. There was a possibility that the home team's map and the away team's map would clash, but it had never happened. And as the number of maps in Glory continued to increase, the chances of this happening also continued to decrease.
As for choosing a map that clashed with the opponent's map, that was a mistake made by oneself. There was no one else to blame.
The map for this individual match was a snow-covered miniature town. Stellar Sword's character was wearing white equipment. Even the Silver weapon in his hand, the "White Lightsaber", glowed with white light. The reason for choosing this map was too obvious.
At this moment, Stellar Sword was taking a detour towards Dancing Rain's spawn point. The broadcast first cut to Stellar Sword's first-person view, letting the audience feel as if they were there. Then, the broadcast switched to a bird's eye view of the entire map. From this, it could be seen that Dancing Rain wasn't standing still at her spawn point. Instead, she was moving around.
The broadcast switched to Dancing Rain's side.
The broadcast had a lot of viewpoints. It wasn't just the player's first-person view. Right now, the camera was zooming out from a third-person view, so the viewers could clearly see Dancing Rain moving around in this small area.
From this, it could be seen that the brilliance of a match was determined by the performance of the two players, but for the broadcast to be shown to the audience, it required an excellent director. From start to finish, the two players could only be seen from a bird's eye view. No matter how brilliant the match was, it would be trash in the broadcast.
The director of this broadcast was clearly skilled. With the three camera switches and the commentator's and guest's commentary, the intentions of the two players were clear.
Gao Jie had Stellar Sword take a detour, preparing to catch Dancing Rain off guard.
But the experienced Su Mucheng had clearly predicted this. After observing the surrounding terrain, she had Dancing Rain jump to a good sniping spot. This place was high up. If Stellar Sword approached now, he would be the first to be exposed to Dancing Rain's cannon.
Happy Internet Cafe was suddenly filled with jeers and laughter. The jeers were naturally directed at Gao Jie. He wanted to mount a sneak attack, but it looked like he would fall into Su Mucheng's ambush in the end.
But Ye Xiu knew that it wouldn't be so simple. If Gao Jie really fell into the ambush, then it would be a waste of his home field advantage.
Sure enough, it was as Ye Xiu had predicted. After Gao Jie's Stellar Sword approached, he didn't rush out. Instead, he took a detour and poked his head out from an alley to take a look.
"This guy is so sneaky. Why aren't you going to hurry up and die?" Chen Guo said impatiently.
Ye Xiu shook his head: "He's in a blind spot. Su Mucheng's movements are within his calculations."
"Gao Jie's current position is a blind spot! No matter which sniping spot Su Mucheng chose, she wouldn't be able to see this position. It looks like Su Mucheng's movements are within Gao Jie's calculations! " Li Yibo's voice rang out in the broadcast at this moment. What he said was exactly the same as what Ye Xiu had said.
"It looks like 301 Degrees has researched this map thoroughly." The commentator laughed.
"Of course." Li Yibo said.
"Then how does Gao Jie know which sniping spot Su Mucheng is hiding?" Chen Guo was startled when she said this, because the commentator had also asked this question.
"Footprints." Ye Xiu and Li Yibo each answered, but their answers were the same.
