At midnight on the 25th of March, the third round of the Tournament for the Best S3 began.
There were 6,677 teams participating in this round. Since the number of teams was still an odd number, one team would advance to the next round. The remaining 6,676 teams would have to fight each other to decide who would stay.
Underworld Frontline's opponent this round was Sect of Fireball. This was also a team made up of casual players. From the recordings of the previous two rounds, Sect of Fireball was not as strong as Disputed Alliance. Therefore, Feng Bujue used the same line-up as the previous round and defeated his opponent with a score of 3-0. Then he followed the others back to the conference room to watch the livestream.
Brother Bujue and the others were quite interested in the two main matches that night. Especially the match between Red Cherry and Heaven's Door … For Xu Huai Shang who had just left Red Cherry, there were many things worth observing.
But to their surprise, when they turned on the livestream, what they saw was …
"What? It's 2-0 already? "When Xu Huai Shang saw the score and the match situation on the screen, she couldn't help but gasp.
"Hmm … Let me see …" Feng Bujue looked at the screen and said, "In the first match, Tie Haitang was defeated in 1 minute and 12 seconds … In the second match, Blood Rose and Hyacinth only lasted for 40 seconds …" He shrugged and laughed drily, "Ha … Looks like if we came a few minutes later, we wouldn't have to watch the livestream anymore. We could just watch the recording."
"If I remember correctly …" Ruo Yu said thoughtfully, "Tie Haitang's main masteries are workmanship and marksmanship. With the 30-second preparation time rule, her masteries should have a huge advantage …"
"There's also the Summoner's [Blood Rose] and [Hyacinth]'s support combination. It won't be that easy to kill them …" Xiao Ling added.
"But …" Feng Bujue continued, "No matter what the theory is, the reality is … they have already lost and they were defeated in a short amount of time. If you think they are not weak, then there is only one conclusion left — their opponents are too strong."
While they were talking, on the battlefield, the member of [Red Cherry] who was going to participate in the "General Battle" was also in great danger.
Her ID was Zhi Ziyi. She was the new ace of Red Cherry studio. In other words … she was chosen by Red Cherry to be Xu Huai Shang's successor.
Xu Huai Shang was quite familiar with this junior of hers. The two of them had worked together for quite a long time. Xu Huai Shang had personally witnessed this junior of hers grow from a newcomer who didn't know anything to a core member of the studio.
However, not long after Zhiziyi became the main force, Xu Huai Shang was shelved by the studio due to some "mistakes" in the S2 competition. After that, the two of them didn't queue together for a long time. Therefore, Xu Huai Shang's impression of this new ace was still the same as it was a few months ago.
Now, looking at her junior who was being forced into a corner by her opponent, Xu Huai Shang's comment was, "Compared to when I left, Zhi Ziyi has obviously improved a lot. She has grown into a player who can hold her own." She paused for half a second. "The problem is her opponent …" At this point, Xu Huai Shang's expression became very serious. "… I have never met a player of this level before. Even his ID is something I have never seen before."
The "strong one" she spoke of had the ID [Michael], and he was the captain of [Heaven's Gate].
This was a player who could be called a 'mysterious' player. In S1 and S2, he was nowhere to be seen.
Not only him, but his six teammates, [Gabriel], [Uriel], [Raphael], [Laguel], [Sariel], and [Ramir], were also unknown before S3.
Even the most well-informed people wouldn't be able to find out any information about them … … These seven guys with super strength were simply as if they had suddenly appeared before the start of the S3 competition, making people unable to fathom them.
"It's about time to decide the victor." After a while, Ruo Yu suddenly spoke, as if she was making a prophecy, announcing what was about to happen.
In the end, in less than five seconds, Zhi Ziyi, who was already at the end of her rope, was killed by Michael and turned into white light …
[Red Cherry], who had made it into the top 8 in S2, had lost to a non-professional team that had never participated before in the third round of S3. The most shocking and unsettling thing was that no matter if it was the final score or the process of the competition, it all showed that [Door to Heaven] was far above [Red Cherry] in terms of strength.
…
On the other side, let's look at the situation of the other main match.
Different from the match with [Red Cherry], this match between [Mountain River] and [Heaven and Earth], at least from the first match, both sides were evenly matched.
After close to twenty minutes of intense battle, [Mountain River]'s [Prophecy] won against [Heaven and Earth]'s [King Takes Off His Armor] by a small margin, gaining a one to zero lead.
At this time, the 'battle between the mainstays' of both sides had begun.
It was [Mountain River]'s [Ma Guanhua] and [Ma Guanhua] against [Heaven and Earth]'s [Detective Buu] and [Old Medic Uub].
Ignoring the former for now, let's talk about Buu and Uub … In the 'Scary Nursery Rhyme' scenario, they had formed a team with the players from Underworld Frontline. If you remember them, you should remember that they were Feng Bujue's fans, and their catchphrase was, "No wonder you are Teacher Jue …"
Even though Buu and Uub were not professional players but external members recruited by [Heaven and Earth] in the game, they had obtained the chance to represent [Heaven and Earth] in the tournament as non-professional players. From this, one could see that the ability of these two, especially the ability of a duo, was not normal.
At this time, the situation on the field was controlled by these two.
This' fat and thin duo 'turned into two shadows and moved around the enemy at super high speed. Their 'Charge' speed was very fast, but their movement path was hard to predict. Looking down from the sky, the two of them drew out many crazy geometrical shapes on the ground, and they kept changing and shrinking … reducing the space for the enemy to move around.
In the previous two rounds, Buu and Uub had appeared, and they had used this strategy.
Enemies who tried to rush out of their "charging net" on the ground would be hit repeatedly. Enemies who tried to escape through the air would be hit by a joint attack that was worse than the continuous hits once they jumped into the air. Those who tried to use long-range attacks to "break through the net" would often only hit empty air in the face of this seemingly irregular encirclement … It was a waste of energy.
