In fact, winning or losing was very obvious. When this Thief from the Gangnam Royals retired, he was only a second-rate or third-rate Thief. After three years away from the stage, his skill would only drop. How could there be any reversal?
However, Blood Dagger fought very fiercely today. He didn't look like a Thief, but more like a Berserker.
"He can't be crazy, right?" Jiu Feng was very puzzled.
Lu Li could roughly guess why Blood Dagger was in such a crazy state. He had cheated so much equipment from the other side and killed Blood Dagger. It would be strange if Blood Dagger wasn't crazy. If he held it in, he would probably suffer internal injuries.
If the one who killed Blood Dagger was an opponent at the level of Lu Li or Wood Fearing, he would probably sympathize with the murderer. Only you guys are qualified to kill me. If it was anyone else, I wouldn't die. We are lifelong opponents.
But in reality, this wasn't the case. The one who killed Blood Dagger wasn't an opponent he knew.
It was a group of unknown thieves. They surrounded him and stabbed him until he was dead.
What kind of madness was this?
For example, if Blood Dagger was a girl or had the heart of a girl, and the one who did him was a handsome guy, he might have half-heartedly complied. However, the one who did him was not a handsome guy, but a wretched man. A group of wretched men.
The shame of being killed by a group of noobs made him want to take revenge.
Thus, the stage became his performance venue, and the poor Gangnam Royals Thief became his punching bag.
Who told you to play Thief? Who told you to be a Dwarf?
The one who killed you was a Gnome. What did it have to do with a Dwarf?
You're so short and you still come out to play. If you don't die, then who will!
"Actually, I think what Blood Dagger did was a very straightforward strategy." Lu Li didn't think that he was the main reason why Blood Dagger had gone berserk. He even hypocritically analyzed the situation from a professional point of view. "Dwarven Thieves are good at PVP and are especially good at internal battles between Thieves. No other Thief would be able to control a Dwarf Thief to the end. His racial talents are immune to bleeding and poison. In any situation, he can easily take back the initiative in battle. For example, this Gangnam Royals player. It's undoubtedly faster and less energy to just go up and fight. Brother Blood Dagger is really smart!"
Brother Blood Dagger is really smart! "Even so, Blood Dagger's opponent was not powerless.
Because of Blood Dagger's messy fighting style, he found some opportunities to attack. When he finally fell, Blood Dagger's HP was less than a third, a little more than a quarter.
As a result, the Gangnam Royals' second player took advantage.
This was an Ice Mage. In the current version, it was known as the class that countered Thieves the most. It was even more specialized than Berserkers.
Blood Dagger did not calm down because of his low HP. He was here to find a punching bag, so he fought fiercely against this Ice Mage. The Ice Mage was so scared that he almost turned around and ran. Fortunately, he reacted in time and had full HP.
"Blood Dagger is going to die," Water Fairy sighed.
"Yeah, he's going to die." Lu Li's face was full of regret. It was a tone of deep sorrow, not a hint of schadenfreude.
Without Blood Dagger, the rest of the youth training camp were mostly rookies. They were far worse than the veteran players of the Gangnam Royals. The next newcomer to the stage from The Capital of Glory made frequent mistakes and eventually lost to the Ice Mage.
"Aiya, just a little bit more. What a pity. This newcomer is a good seedling. It's just that his mentality isn't very good." Lu Li wanted to go up and fight for him.
"Why do I feel like you're on Blood Dagger's side?" Jiu Feng asked in confusion.
"I don't think so. We're commentators. We're all about fairness. How can we say that we're on one side?" Lu Li didn't really want to answer this question, so his answer was very perfunctory.
"The gaming circle now treats you and Xiao Mo as each other's mortal enemies. Don't you think that you might not be a match for Xiao Mo?" Jiu Feng didn't have a good impression of The Capital of Glory, so her words were more targeted. She hoped that Lu Li would belittle Xiao Mo.
If Sorrowless was enraged, he would probably clash with Ruling Sword, and he would inevitably suffer losses.
If he wasn't angry, then it didn't matter.
"Of course it's possible. I don't think I'm a match for Xiao Mo right now. Xiao Mo is fully deserving of being the number one player in the game. No one can surpass his personal strength and his leadership skills are impeccable …" Lu Li seemed to be planning on praising Xiao Mo like a flower.
"Ahem," Jiu Feng couldn't listen to it anymore.
She finally understood why she couldn't scheme against Lu Li. It was because Lu Li had no morals and no limits.
"Water Fairy, you have to be careful. These days, it's very popular for guys to like guys. Look at how much he admires Xiao Mo. Who knows if they'll roll in the sheets together one day."
"Oh, when that time comes, I'll give them my blessings," Water Fairy said with a smile. Her eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
Why did she have to frame him? Lu Li was very speechless. Once again, he understood how accurate the phrase "a woman's heart is the most vicious" was.
"Haha, Capital of Glory lost in the arena." Jiu Feng didn't hide her schadenfreude at all. She was the type of person who expressed her love and hate very directly, but she wasn't brainless. Even if this schadenfreude reached Xiao Mo's ears, he would at most just laugh it off.
"Losing … shouldn't have happened," Lu Li couldn't continue to say that Blood Dagger did well.
In fact, if Blood Dagger played steadily, with his strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to fight one against three in the arena. If it was Lu Li who went up, he was also confident that he could accumulate points in the arena.
"Fortunately, there's a team competition. I believe that Capital of Glory's performance won't let everyone down," Water Fairy continued.
She didn't have any intention of slandering Capital of Glory. For a female tycoon, opponents were meant to be defeated and then stepped on. Slandering them was meaningless, and she wouldn't be able to slander them.
In the team competition, Blood Dagger finally didn't go on a rampage.
Perhaps it was because he had been warned before, but at this time, he perfectly interpreted the position of a Thief in a team battle. It was a textbook example of perfection.
After that, someone wrote an article with the title "The Role of a Star Player" to comment on this team competition.
Perhaps the young players of Capital of Glory could become the mainstays of Blood Dagger, White Westhill, or even Xiao Mo in a few years. However, at this time, they were still wet behind the ears. Whether it was operational awareness or teamwork, their performance was a mess.
The new team members recruited by the Gangnam Royals were all veterans.
Some had withdrawn from the competition for various reasons, some had been poached from other places, and some were folk experts. In short, their individual qualities were all better than those young players in the youth training camp.
They hoped to focus fire on the healers of Capital of Glory, but the existence of Blood Dagger limited their performance. This Thief was always able to disrupt their formation, causing their siege to fail. By the time they realized that their strategy needed to be adjusted, the rhythm of the field was already out of their control.
"Do you feel that Blood Dagger is bullying people here?" Jiu Feng asked.
"He is indeed bullying people," Water Fairy had to admit.
Most clubs didn't care about the ranking in the Donghua Cup. It was just a training ground for new recruits. There were also some unaffiliated players who hoped to meet their own talent scouts through this competition.
It was rare to see star players on such occasions. One reason was that star players disdained participating in such competitions, and the other was to give these newcomers a chance to perform. Blood Dagger was obviously an anomaly in the Donghua Cup. He probably didn't even notice that he was bullying the newcomers.
The final score was: The Capital of Glory had two points in the individual rounds, and the Gangnam Royals had three. However, in the team round, The Capital of Glory had five points, and the Gangnam Royals only had a pitiful two points.
"This match was actually quite exciting. Blood Dagger showed everyone the difference between a star player and an ordinary player. At the same time, it also highlighted the hidden dangers of the Gangnam Royals," Lu Li said as he began to analyse the match. No matter how ridiculous the match was, he still had to make it sound professional.
"What hidden danger?" Water Fairy was very cooperative with her husband.
"The few people they are fighting are quite strong, but they lack coordination. They also lack a team core. They can maintain an advantage against those who are weaker than them, but once there is an opponent who is too strong, they won't be able to fully display their strength," Lu Li said.
He wasn't bluffing. He was the most professional commentator for this match.
Any team needed a core. For example, if Lu Li was here, he would be the core. He didn't play in the Donghua Cup, so Fei Houzi and Mu Qiu were the core of the team. The others were cooperating with them in battle. Fei Houzi and Mu Qiu had also worked together for a long time, and had already formed an amazing tacit understanding.
The Capital of Glory's Xiao Mo was the core. White Westhill could also be the core. Today, Blood Dagger was leading the team, so he was naturally the core.
Any team had to have a core.
The Gangnam Royals didn't have one!
There were many former players who were qualified to be the core, such as Innocent Child and Dancing Star Dream.
Unfortunately, these people had all left.
The top players that the Gangnam Royals had found were similar in strength to each other. No one could completely convince the others, and the core couldn't be determined by the boss behind the scenes. As such, they were destined to fail miserably in battles of the same level.
Lu Li pointed out the shortcomings of the Gangnam Royals, but it didn't mean that he was on their side, or that he had already planned to drink and chat with Heart of War.
This kind of problem, he believed that Heart of War could see it himself.
Even if he couldn't see it, now that Lu Li had told him, there was no way that he could solve it in a short period of time.
Many problems were born from the complexity of human nature. Everyone had a greedy heart, and if you wanted to solve it, you had to start from there. Unless everyone gave up on the idea of being the core, even if an expert were to appear out of nowhere, it would be useless.
However, there were many teams participating in the competition, and it wasn't guaranteed that they would meet a strong opponent like the Capital of Glory every time.
The Gangnam Royals, as a new team, had no problem entering the regular season.
The Donghua Cup's competition period was less than 40 days. It would take more than a month, which was nothing compared to the Pro League, which could easily last half a year.
Lu Li and Water Fairy could be considered as guest commentators. From time to time, they would be invited to commentate. Usually, they would be given a partner. There would be someone like Dark Wind, who liked to tease people. There would also be someone like Nine Phoenix, who was more straightforward, and there would also be other professionals.
Sometimes, the production team would let them choose their own matches, and other times, the production team would decide the matches.
Their own choices were based on Lu Li and Water Fairy's personal interests. If the production team chose, there was something fishy about it. If it wasn't a particularly attractive team, then it must be a team that had spent money to advertise.
The popularity of the couple was enough to fill up the stadium's audience seats.
Coming to see the couple meant that people would also know about the team. Only when the team was famous would people invest. With investment, there would be more money to buy equipment and train competitors. From there, they could strive for greater glory. The development of the gaming industry over the past few hundred years had already created a variety of patterns.
During this period, there was another Stronghold War.
