After the first two rounds, the score between Underworld Frontline and Mountain River was now 0: 2.
At this point, there was no longer any suspense in the outcome of the match.
Considering that [Xu Huai Shang] and [Laughing Soul] had not been sent up yet, with [Mountain River]'s "three battle lineup", even if [Hell Frontline] sent out Snow in the third battle and lost this "general battle", [Mountain River] would still have to face a 10% chance of winning the next two battles.
Moreover, this assumption was based on the existence of the last two rounds … In reality, [Mountain River] could not even win this "General Battle" in front of them, let alone turn defeat into victory by winning three rounds in a row.
Under such circumstances, Prophecy, who would be sent out for the third round, was much more relaxed.
After all, the team's momentum was gone. The next battle would be a battle for glory. If they won … the overall score would look better. If they lost … no one would blame them. It would just be the difference in skill.
…
"The match will begin in 30 seconds."
After a short break, the system announcement announced that the players from both sides had entered the battlefield.
At that moment, everyone had already guessed that [Hell Frontline] would send out [Xu Huai Shang]. Based on the previous two lineups, [Hell Frontline] had also sent out a three-match lineups to counter [Mountain River].
Furthermore, according to the statistics, in the first nine rounds of Underworld Frontline, Goddess Xu's appearance rate was 100%. In other words … Feng Bujue had arranged for her to fight in the first three rounds every time.
Of course, Brother Jue had his reasons for doing this. Other than the need for a "lineup," this arrangement was also a way of "taking care" of Xu Huai Shang.
Even though Goddess Xu was a superstar who could maintain her popularity even without signing with a gaming studio, if she lost all her official resources, her exposure rate would definitely drop. As a professional player who was at the peak of her career, this was not a good thing.
Feng Bujue was well aware of this. Even though he had never said it out loud, his actions had always been supportive of his teammate. Allowing Xu Huai Shang to appear in the competition as often as possible was undoubtedly an effective way to maintain her exposure.
Sure enough, with a flash of white light, Goddess Xu's elegant figure appeared in the ring. At the same time, on all the major live streaming platforms, the channel that was broadcasting the match between Hell Frontline and Mountain River had a visible increase in popularity.
Compared to Xu Huai Shang's unreasonable popularity, the lack of response on the other side of the barrier was a little sad.
Even though Brother Chen was also a professional player who was at his peak, his popularity had always been lukewarm. Perhaps it was because there was a word in his ID that not many people could pronounce, or perhaps it was because he lacked the so-called "celebrity aura," or perhaps it was because his unique characteristics were not obvious … But then again, it was also because his ID was not very popular.
In any case, this was a player whose number of fans was not proportional to his ability.
In the industry of professional players, there were many players like Brother Chen. They were stuck at the threshold of the "top" and could not get over it. In the "top", they might not even be as good as those who were lower than them but had more gimmick. They might be able to get into the first line of the team in a team game, but they would never be the focus of the team or the selling point of the team. Most of them would be able to get some team glory in their prime, but in terms of individual glory, they might not be able to get anything.
The career of these players was usually very stable. There were no big ups and downs. Overall, it was a gentle slope. But after they got over this slope, their future would often be worrying.
The saying "personality determines one's destiny" was obviously applicable in the gaming industry as well.
A good player might not be a good streamer, a good coach, or a good commentator … Not to mention being a manager or even a boss. Whether it was entertaining the public, guiding a team, or managing a company … it all required skill and talent.
So, if you only knew how to play games, and you did have a certain level of talent, and you wanted to make a living out of it, then you had better do your best in this one thing that you could rely on. Otherwise, it would not be long before you lost everything. Just like the countless "mediocre top players" who were dragged down by their talent and personality, they would slowly fade out of the public eye and never be mentioned again.
Of course, it was not impossible for them to lose their "mediocre" halo …
There were still opportunities. It was just a matter of whether or not one could grasp them.
Right now, what was placed in front of Chen Wuxiang was an "opportunity".
For a player like him, what could he rely on to achieve a breakthrough in his career? There were only two shortcuts. One was to win an individual competition. Two was to win an unexpected victory against a super star player.
At this moment, he was in the most watched competition, on a stage where thousands of people were watching. He was up against the top and most popular player in the gaming industry … There was probably no "one".
What was the reason Feng Bujue first became famous? Wasn't it because he defeated Xu Huai Shang in Round S1?
As long as Brother Chen won this match, regardless of whether Mountain River was eliminated in the end, he would definitely be on the headlines tomorrow.
Plus … this "Champion Battle" did not affect the overall situation, so there was no external pressure. Things like "legendary consumables" and "secret trump cards to be used in the later rounds", in this kind of situation where his team was on the verge of elimination, he could use them whenever he wanted.
Considering all of these factors, as well as Prophetic Prowess's own combat strength (in terms of combat strength, he was above Autumn Wind Se), most of the experts felt that he had a good chance of winning this match.
Comparatively speaking, Xu Huai Shang, who still had a way out in terms of the score and needed to think about the later rounds, was at a disadvantage in terms of mentality and momentum.
[Five … Four …]
When the countdown sounded, Xu Huai Shang stood still on the spot, while Brother Chen had already retreated more than a hundred meters.
There was nothing to criticize about his reaction. Ever since Goddess Xu showed off her 'instant kill' in the first round, no one dared to stare at her through the barrier at the start of the match.
"Phew … I need to calm down …" At this moment, Brother Chen took a deep breath and said in his heart, "We are both level 60 and have the same S level fighting mastery … She hasn't received any support from the studio for almost half a year already. My equipment and skill might be stronger than hers … There is no reason for me to be afraid of her."
[Three … Two …]
"No matter the result, at least I have to fight a match that is no less exciting than 'Autumn Wind versus Feng Bujue' …"
[One …]
"If I win, during the post-match interview, I will use … 'When was your most glorious moment? If it's me … it's now '. "
"… Fight!"
