Glory [e-sports]

Chapter 225: Please type out 'Brother Cai is badass' on the scrolling comments!



To hell with working hard on it! He was getting even more nervous!

Lu Feng said quietly, “Watch the game.”

The two of them had whispered for so long that the vinegar king had gotten jealous.

Wei Xiao gave Brother Cai a firm look, then shifted slightly closer to Lu Feng and carefully watched the game.

A fight had already broken out in the canyon while they were talking.

The doubles competition map was wider than the singles competition one, and it also held two jungle zones. Although it was still smaller than the 5v5 map, it left a lot more room to maneuver compared with the singles competition canyon.

Asleep had taken the berserker thief. The berserker thief had obvious advantages, one being that it could clear the jungle zone quickly, and he made it to the lane one step faster, applying pressure on Kim Sung-hyun’s wave of lane soldiers before quickly slipping into the other party’s jungle zone.

Taking a marksman in the doubles game led to disadvantages in the early stages because marksmen were a bit slower when it came to killing creeps (even with the game system bonus, it was still a lot less efficient when compared with a professional jungler king). Even if it was only a few seconds slower, it still created a small gap in pace.

Asleep was famous as a player who could take control of the rhythm of the game. How could he pass up on such an opportunity?

He snatched up farm, pressured the lane, and rushed into the top jungle zone, locking in on the bird hunter.

Kim Sung-hyun used the bird hunter beautifully. It had clearly only been released for a few days, but he was already very skilled at using its skills, and the way he linked them up was commendable. He’d also maximized the strengthening of his basic attacks, but he was still low levelled and lacked two skills, which meant he couldn’t make too many combos.

The director focused the camera on the bird hunter often: An elegant spirit with holy feathers and sweetly trilling birds was very pleasing to the eyes of the investment daddies when it was put up on the holographic projection.

His weapon were birds that had been transformed with spiritual power. There were ferocious birds of prey and delicate kingfishers… they turned into spiritual blades and seemed to emanate beautiful music when he attacked.

The audience tsked, “The berserker thief’s darkness system and the flying birds seem to inexplicably match up.”

“Have you seen that expansion video? The human prince who deceived the bird hunter… doesn’t it seem like the berserker thief?”

“Ah… that ambitious fellow who stabbed the hand that fed him?”

“Hugging and taking away the berserker thief, my little berserker is very sweet and isn’t that kind of guy with a wolf’s heart and dog’s lungs.”

“But this love triangle is a little tempting…”

“The scythe’s locked onto the bird hunter!”

The berserker thief had no vision on the bird hunter, but he’d judged where the bird hunter would be based on the distribution of jungle creeps. When he cast out his scythe, it was more of a tentative probe, but he’d actually locked onto the bird hunter.

“No way, I can’t stop my brain from imagining this. My simple and clean bird hunter was bound by that ambitious heart just like this.”

“Begging for more of that forbidden play!”

“Get lost, cults, ahhhhh, the bird hunter belongs to the soul warlock! The berserker thief is the berserker warrior’s!”

“One second, just let me ship them for one very long second, hey.”

The emphasis on entertainment for this entertainment game was quite substantial, so the audience in the scrolling comments weren’t paying as much attention to who would win or lose. They were more focused on the showcase of the new talents and gossiping away.

But the players in the canyon were very serious.

The bird hunter had been locked in, and the berserker thief dropped down from the sky.

Kim Sung-hyun lived up to his reputation as a thief killer and calmly tossed out his control skills, locking the berserker thief in place and instantly pulling away.

A bird hunter that hadn’t yet reached level six couldn’t deal much damage, but the berserker thief could tear out the other party’s throat without reaching level six.

Asleep didn’t say a word and used a combo with his assault, using one blade after another to chip away the bird hunter’s health.

It wasn’t possible for an early-stage marksman to win against a thief with basic attacks.

Just as Kim Sung-hyun was about to fall, a soul blade slashed out twice and attacked the berserker thief.

Li Heran had rushed over!

A heal landed on Kim Sung-hyun’s head, and the seriously injured Kim Sung-hyun’s health instantly recovered!

The strength of the number one marksman in Glory revealed itself here.

When an ordinary ADC encountered thieves, they could only run away in a panic. Not only did Kim Sung-hyun not run away, he also raced against time to trade attacks with the other party.

If it was only just trading health, then it was impossible for him to win. Even if he could beat Asleep into half health, he would have already been sent back to the resurrection fountain.

But he had a teammate.

At the moment when Li Heran hit the berserker thief and gave him a heal, Kim Sung-hyun had already begun to deal DPS like crazy.

There was no need to hide, no need to escape.

Just fight and be done with it!

If the thief didn’t die, then how could the hunter live?

Asleep’s health plummeted. Once there was distance between a melee talent and their target, it became very easy for the long-range talent to kite them.

In particular, Kim Sung-hyun had also saved his strengthened basic attack. This wave of counter attacking beat up the berserker thief, who’d already been at half health, until his head was covered in bumps and bruises.

Fortunately, Brother Sleep had a support as well. Cong Yi had arrived a little late, but he’d managed to escort the soldier lane all the way to the other side’s tower. It was very much worth it.

It was the same attack and heal, the same talent and technique that Cong Yi used to protect Asleep.

The two teams faced each other head-on, and the live broadcast room exploded.

“What is this!”

“Childhood sweetheart vs childhood sweetheart?”

“You might have a big brother, but so do I?”

“Holy shit, I can ship two childhood sweethearts at the same time! It’s really getting to me!”

“The key point is that the big brothers are both using soul warlocks ahhhhh.”

“It’s over, it’s over, I now have a filter over my vision. I now feel like the soul warlock is super handsome, who knows how to play? Let’s get married!”

There were many who were busy shipping, and there were also many people who were paying attention to the details of their operations.

The technical fans brushed out even more scrolling comments, “Not bad, Brother Sleep’s wave of operations here is very amazing.”

“Kim Sung-hyun’s marksman is really at the textbook level. I suggest that our domestic Eurostar and Yue Wenle take notes.”

“It’s not just Asleep, Cong Yi is very stable, too. Their operation strategies are clear, and their positioning is timely and accurate. Don’t underestimate that attack and heal. They were all launched from the furthest range; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to save the seriously injured Asleep.”

“Not bad, this year’s global doubles will be good!”

“I remember Close and Quiet signed up, too?”

“Those two…”

“Those two can’t fight in the old competition system, but they’ll definitely fight against heaven and earth in the new competition system.”

“One great demon king, and one little lunatic, landing on Sky Island and starting up slaughter mode. F*ck, this is absolutely worth looking forward to!”

In fact, the global scrolling comments were quite normal. After all, Asleep and Cong Yi were star players in their competition zone. Everyone knew them very well, and they knew their strength, so they weren’t surprised seeing them play like this.

Some fans had even started a betting pool, hoping that Asleep and Cong Yi would win.

There really was hope for that. Firstly, there were their natural advantages. Second, Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran weren’t playing seriously. As soon as they took out those talents, everyone understood that they were here to entertain everyone and relax.

If they were psychologically relaxed, then they might really get swept away by Asleep, who had a belly full of fire from having been sent out of the running for the globals during the domestic semi-finals.

The domestic scene was filled with joy, while the foreign broadcast studios followed another style.

“This ID looks a bit familiar.”

“3U.Sleep? Isn’t it that Chinese player who replied to IN.Otee previously? He has a temper.”

“How’s his strength?”

“It should be pretty good. His team came in third place in the global doubles last year.”

“Ha. How good can they be if they didn’t even make it into the finals?”

“Come and take a look. Let’s see if this level of play is just empty talk.”

“Seriously, although the China competition zone is very united, other than FTW, it’s quite difficult for them to win against IN…”

“He killed Kim Sung-hyun!”

Unfortunately, the majority of the domestic fans didn’t know what the situation was like abroad. Otherwise, if they knew, they would make use of XX translation to go and give them a good summary of the facts.

What do you mean, it would be difficult for teams other than FTW to win against IN?

Like hell it’s hard!

Which of the top four teams in China hadn’t fought life or death struggles with FTW?

TPT, RR, and even 3U had also played quite a few training matches against the Team of Gods.

Although these achievements hadn’t been made public, the fact that they could make appointments for one training match after another meant that their level was definitely recognized. Otherwise, who would agree to practice with noobs!

Fortunately, Brother Sleep’s stunning performance and the momentum he displayed during the entertainment game, along with his operation and consciousness, showed the world his absolute, peak strength!

When they reached the middle stage of the game, Kim Sung-hyun started to grow serious. Unfortunately, he’d been suppressed too much in the early stages, and the difference in farm was a bit too big. Additionally, he wasn’t completely familiar with the bird hunter and still had to fumble around.

Finally, Cong Yi killed Kim Sung-hyun, and Li Heran’s life was taken away by Asleep. 3U won the doubles entertainment game!

The game was very fun to watch.

Kim Sung-hyun’s bird hunter was really interesting to watch; the spirit figure was elegant and ethereal, and its depraved form was ruthless and cold. The ultimate move ‘Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix’ lived up to the efforts of the balding development team with special effects that were enough to make people’s livers explode!

Li Heran and Cong Yi’s soul warlocks were also played in very insightful ways.

What was more remarkable was that they used different play styles.

Li Heran was attached to a bird hunter. This official partnership was superb, and there was no need to mention that Li Heran once used to be Glory’s top marksman. He was very quick at picking up the bird hunter skills, and his control over his actions was invincible after he attached himself. He and Kim Sung-hyun were like twins, complementing each other with amazing tacit understanding.

Cong Yi was attached to a berserker thief. They had forcibly played out a new routine and developed this unexpected double berserker thief method in such a short time. 3U was badass!

At the end of the doubles game, Li Chun let out a huge breath of relief. “Did we win?”

Wei Xiao: “Yeah!”

He turned his head and stared at Brother Cai.

Bai Cai: “……………”

Don’t f*cking expect so much, Laozi’s nervous enough to explode!

Wei Xiao spoke darkly, “There’s still a 5v5 game.”

Bai Cai: “If I’m unlucky…”

Wei Xiao: “I’ll perform ripping apart white cabbage by hand on the spot.”

White Cabbage: “…………” Can you f*cking act human!

The 5v5 opening game was the grand finale. Even without mentioning how the game went, just having Y1 and L&P come up on stage was enough to garner cheers from the entire audience.

After all, they were the champion and runner-up teams from last year, and they had amazing popularity.

Yan Jiang was the last one to come out for Y1. He had his usual cold expression on his face and didn’t look at the camera, looking aloof.

Yuan Ze was the first to appear from L&P. He contrasted sharply with Yan Jiang, performing perfectly for the camera. He winked, using a wink to make all the girls in the scrolling comments feel like their hearts were about to explode.

Why was a scum man a scum man?

Because he was handsome!

With his charming looks, even if that pair of peach blossom eyes hadn’t really deceived any little girls, they had still tricked away the hearts of countless girls sitting in front of the screen!

Both sides went to their seats and started messing around from the BP link.

They were old rivals. How could they not understand the other party?

Relatively speaking, L&P was a bit more serious. This was especially true for Old G, who’d appeared twice. His murderous intent was surging up to the skies.

He’d lost in the singles, and he didn’t want to lose again in the team game. Old G really wanted to win!

Wei Xiao yawned, not very interested in watching the game.

After interacting together for a long time, he’d basically gotten an understanding of Y1. Or rather, he understood Yan Jiang.

One of Captain Yan’s distinguishing features was laziness.

He wasn’t like Asleep, who slept whenever he wasn’t in the canyon.

He was really lazy, the arrogant type of laziness.

For games that weren’t worth playing, he really wished that he could stick the words ‘not interested’ right on the keyboard.

Not everyone could make God Yan go all out.

This point could be infuriating.

At the very least, Yuan Ze was so angry that his liver was hurting.

But there just wasn’t any way to deal with it; no flaws could be found to prove that he was taking it easy, but on the other hand, how could he lose if he was being serious?!

If you really questioned him?

That one look was something you had to experience for yourself.

Yuan Ze: “………………”

He was going to blow up from anger at this blatantly biased fellow!

All of those who understood God Yan could see it.

––Forced to do business.

––Who has to go play in the opening game?

––Oh, I accidentally won the global championship.

––Fine, I’ll play. Play it however.

Um…

The fans had translated his thoughts quite accurately. This man definitely thought that way!

5v5 ended. Y1 was one step behind and lost to L&P.

They really were one step behind. Old G was like a mad dog who ran around everywhere in the canyon. Y1 lost the battle in the last group fight and lost the game.

Old G won, but he didn’t feel proud at all. He even felt more aggrieved than before, “Captain……”

Yuan Ze turned his head to look at this big fool on his team and became even more gloomy.

It was the same call of ‘captain’, but when he listened to Little Lunatic Wei’s crisp young voice, then listened to Old G’s rough voice…

It wasn’t obvious without comparison, but he kind of wanted to turn gay once he compared them.

Finally, it came to the casual player competition.

This was also the highlight that the audience was looking forward to the most!

Just look at this name list! The Team of Gods plus Old G, famous celebrities who were top players from all over the world!

Who would team up with whom?

Who would be opponents?

What was certain was that Yuan Ze and Gary would definitely be separated. This was standard practice; if players from the same team played together in this kind of performance competition, they would definitely end up hurting each other.

So… what about the rest?

Would Close and Yan Jiang be in the same team? Or would he be in the same team as Yuan Ze?

Would fanboy Gary continue battling with his idol, or would he have to tearfully give up his jungler position?

There were too many possibilities; it was too exciting, they couldn’t wait to watch!

As the host provided suspenseful commentary, the audience’s emotions were stirred up to the limit. Even the audience in the live broadcast rooms were very excited!

There were people betting, talking big, sending out gifts, crying loudly…

There was so much traffic in the animated live broadcast room that it was about to explode.

It wasn’t until the lucky draw started that the fans in the live broadcast room started getting envious, wanting to send out blades at the lucky ones.

The host was very good at whetting their appetites, drawing the players one by one. The numbers rotated on the screen non-stop, and nobody dared to blink as they watched.

The first to go up on stage was a 20 year old girl. Her face was thoroughly red, and she was too excited to speak.

The second one was a little fatty who wore the FTW team uniform (fan merchandise), who was trembling with excitement as he introduced himself.

The third one was another girl. She was a bit braver, and smiled at the camera. But her cheeks still turned crimson when she glimpsed the professional players out of the corner of her eyes––oh my god, the great demon king was one head taller than her! That was the best height difference, okay!

Off-stage.

Wei Xiao’s face was expressionless.

Brother Cai trembled in fear.

“As I was saying…”

Wei Xiao’s tone was dark, “Send Money a text message now and give him back the Porsche!”

Brother Cai: “………………”

Wei Xiao: “Based on the law of conservation of character, your luck needs to be traded in with a Porsche.”

Bai Cai didn’t even have the energy to curse at him!

Seeing that three positions were already picked and there was only one spot left, Wei Xiao also grew disappointed.

It made sense, since it couldn’t be so coincidental…

How could he be chosen in an arena filled with tens of thousands of people?

There was no hope for it. He could only watch the captain from beneath the stage. Wei Xiao sighed.

Forget it…

Wasn’t it just a friendly casual player competition? He could earn himself a place next year!

He would definitely be among the top six most popular players in the world!

Wei Xiao had already given up hope when Brother Cai exclaimed, “Holy shit!”

Wei Xiao looked up.

The numbers scrolling on the screen looked familiar.

Wei Xiao: “!”

Brother Cai checked his seat number again and again.

Wei Xiao was shocked, “Really?”

Brother Cai gave up, “Really.”

F*ck, don’t call me Brother Cai in the future. Laozi was the real European Emperor of Luck!

He even managed to win this kind of draw!
