Glory [e-sports]

Chapter 193.1: Quiet’s strength is enough to aim for the globals!

It wasn’t just the audience; Brother Cai also wanted to call out, ‘daddy’.

He’d just died one step ago, and now Close had come up and gotten revenge for him. The great demon king was too reliable!

Brother Cai’s eyes were coated with tears. “Captain!”

Wei Xiao was on alert. “Don’t fall for him, you’ll get nothing.”

Bai Cai: “……”

Be a little more careful, Wei Little Xiao, you’re really treating him as if Glory’s Mic Explosion King will act like a human!

Well fine, no one will pay any heed to Wei Xiao’s mouth even if this was cut into a clip.

Beneath the stage, Tang Chen sighed emotionally. “We both play in the top lane, but his play is more detailed. Lu Feng’s personal operation level is really strong. He was already very excellent when he played jungler, and now that he’s in the top lane, his strengths have been enhanced, and he’s made up for his weaknesses.”

Chen Feng stared at the competition taking place on the stage. “These years have really wronged him.”

He was obviously not suited to playing jungler, but he’d played it for so many years.

He was obviously more free when he was in the top lane, but he’d sacrificed himself for the sake of the team.

No wonder he’d insisted on signing Wei Xiao to their team no matter what, back when he’d seen him two years ago.

This little lunatic was really the one who was most suited to playing jungler.

FTW began a wave of frenzied counterattacks. After the immortal thief rose up in the mid and late periods of the game, Wei Xiao went around ganking everywhere. As soon as he showed up, someone else’s head would definitely fly.

Close and Yue Wenle changed lanes. When he went down to the bottom lane, the tower had lost half of its health because of Brother Cai’s death and Yue Wenle’s low health. But after Close killed Cong Yi, 3U was never able to touch the bottom lane’s outer tower again.

This half health defense tower was originally the one that was in the most precarious condition, but now it had become the strongest fortress.

Cong Yi: “Don’t go up and smash forcibly against it. Go and gank the top lane.”

Instead of wasting three people to catch a Close who they may not be able to kill, it was better to try to take down the marksman and mid-laner with whom they had higher success rates.

Asleep supported the top lane. He’d just beat out a set of skills on Yue Wenle when Brother Cai used an ultra-long distance gust of wind, pulling over the immortal thief who was still making his way over via the river.

Wei Xiao landed, and ten thousand swords fell from the sky!

Cong Yi quickly used his ultimate move, but unfortunately, the skill could only save one person. Wen Wei was seriously injured and lost his ability to participate in the fight.

Yue Wenle’s positioning was towards the front. He actually tossed out a bug that latched onto Wen Wei and bit down.

Wen Wei shot at and killed the insect, but unexpectedly, it was a poison bug, and the mucus that splashed out after it exploded was enough to kill him!

Yue Wenle killed Wen Wei.

Wei Xiao complimented him unceremoniously, “Nice!”

The fight was still going on. Although there was only Asleep and Cong Yi left, the two of them showed no intention of retreating.

Asleep focused on Yue Wenle, pouncing on him stealthily.

Although they couldn’t see his position, they were still able to guess who he was planning to attack with their eyes closed. So, Brother Cai’s protection and Wei Xiao’s skills all slammed over.

Brother Sleep was worthy of being a top jungler in the China competition zone as his positioning was really inspired. From the moment Wei Xiao stepped forward, he’d attacked half a second before Brother Cai’s shield could land and assassinated Yue Wenle, who was at critical health.

After attacking, the hidden thief had exposed his figure. Wei Xiao continued moving forward, his hand rising to attack…

How could Cong Yi let him kill Asleep however he liked? A light wall landed in front of Asleep and forced Wei Xiao to retreat.

Brother Cai continued giving Wei Xiao a speed buff. The immortal thief had already been moving at a high speed and coupled with the flying buff from the storm priest, his body moved like a flash of white light which quickly blocked Asleep’s path.

Cong Yi: “Kill him.”

Asleep tossed out his skills, vowing to fight with Wei Xiao to the death.

In this instant, Brother Cai gave up on giving Wei Xiao a speed buff. Instead, he tossed all of his skills on him, shouting in their team chat, “Old Wei, get him!”

Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry.”

His voice landed, and he used a movement skill to retreat, pulling away from the hidden thief.

The hidden thief’s dagger attack combo was a tracking skill. Forget the fact that Wei Xiao had only retreated two body lengths, even if he’d retreated four body lengths, the skills would have still been able to catch up.

Now, things were up to Brother Cai.

The tracking skill would stop once it touched an enemy.

Brother Cai rushed up to take all the damage in Wei Xiao’s stead.

The priest’s talents had never been the type of support with tough skin and thick flesh, and Brother Cai’s health wasn’t at a healthy level from the earlier fight. Now, he took all of the hidden thief’s damage and instantly toppled to the ground!

This group fight was really magnificent.

3U tried to catch Yue Wenle, but their launcher was sent away by Yue Wenle instead.

Seeing that FTW’s situation had become a 3v2, 3U’s doubles team hadn’t been afraid and rushed up to take down Yue Wenle, even wanting to kill Wei Xiao.

Brother Cai’s storm priest had also been played out to extremes. Although he couldn’t heal his teammates, he had put his body on the line and protected a DPS position. His death hadn’t been a loss!

In just a dozen or so seconds, the battle situation had changed again to become 3U’s two against one.

Was Wei Xiao done for?

The immortal thief was at critical health, the hidden thief was at half health, and the light priest had taken heavy damage.

What was the result?

System Announcement––

FTW.Quiet killed 3U.Sleep.

FTW.Quiet killed 3U.Night.

FTW.Quiet double kill!

The result was that the immortal thief killed the two of them with critical health and took down two kills!

It wasn’t surprising that the arena exploded.

The audience applauded heatedly as they watched the holographic projection, to the point where even their palms grew red!

Too exciting!

That last wave was all too clear through the holographic imagery. It was too tense, too bloody, and it made their pulses race!

Their skills, their health…

All of the three people who’d fallen to the ground of the canyon had no intention to retreat. They were all filled with fighting spirit.

The cooperation between Asleep and Cong Yi was absolute, the light priest’s light wall forcing the immortal thief to move, right towards where Asleep’s dagger was waiting.

Wei Xiao would either be controlled by Cong Yi or killed by the hidden thief.

How he chose all depended on his game consciousness during that single zero point something second.

The immortal priest had moved like a fish in water, avoiding the light priest’s control and taking the hidden thief’s attack!

The commentator couldn’t help shouting out, “Beautiful!”

It was indeed too wonderful. If Wei Xiao had hesitated for just a moment and ended up controlled by the light priest, then the immortal thief would’ve gone too far. Now, it looked like he’d taken the hidden thief’s attack, but a normal attack without any enhancement had a limit on how much damage it could deal. At the very most, he would be left seriously injured, but not killed.

As long as he was alive, as long as he wasn’t controlled, then…

“It’s another ten thousand swords falling from the sky!”

“Quiet just used the little soldiers to cut his cooldowns!”

“That worked out just right.”

“If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m watching this live, I would suspect that this brat is hacking.”

“To be honest… Quiet’s strength is enough to aim for the globals!”

“Please stop exaggerating! Q Cub, you’re still young, you have a long future ahead of you!”

After the fight at the top lane ended, the immortal thief remained the last one standing, with just a sliver of health left.

Old experts could see at a glance that FTW’s win was stable for this match.

Just now, Asleep and Cong Yi’s cooperation had been very wonderful. If Wei Xiao had made even the slightest error, then it would’ve become a turning point for 3U.

Unfortunately, Wei Xiao had held steady and maintained FTW’s rhythm.

3U’s shortfalls became more obvious in the middle and late stages of the game.

The hidden thief talent had one fatal point: It was very fierce in the early stage, but useless in the late stages.

When the game reached around 30 minutes, the hidden thief was basically equivalent to a super soldier––oh, maybe not even as powerful as a super soldier, since they could at least smash at the towers.

Asleep was unable to play out a significant role, while Wen Wei and Li Chun were having trouble even staying alive under the great demon king’s gaze. How could they deal any DPS?

38 minutes later, the night druid’s little demons extinguished 3U’s resurrection crystal.

FTW won the first small match!

The effect of the crystal exploding was also shown in the holographic projection. The audience was very excited by this technology, stimulated until their blood was boiling. Some girls even reached out to try and touch the cracked red crystal. It was difficult to distinguish whether the special effects in front of them were a product of reality or fantasy.

The coaches came onstage, and the second round of BP soon began.

In a BO5 game, the rest period took place after the third match.

FTW’s side was naturally jubilant, but Chen Feng couldn’t refrain from pouring cold water over them. “3U was obviously trying new tactics. Stay steady.”

Wei Xiao: “We also have secret weapons.”

Chen Feng stared at him.

Wei Xiao made a zipper motion over his mouth. “It’s confidential, confidential.”

If Chen Feng hadn’t been afraid of getting expelled from the arena, he would’ve conked him on the head a long time ago!

3U’s side was much quieter.

Coach Leng spoke in a deep voice, “The hidden thief still has its drawbacks.”

Asleep didn’t speak.

Wen Wei was full of apologies. “It’s that I didn’t play well.”

Cong Yi spoke, “When faced with Close and Quiet, any c-position will feel pressure.”

Coach Leng’s gaze fell on Asleep’s body. “Don’t be anxious. We really need more tactics.”

Their line-up for the first match had indeed been one that 3U had been training up recently. The hidden thief’s ability to fight on its own had been played out to good effect during training matches.

It was just, when faced with a team like FTW with a strong jungler and top-laner, they were still lacking a bit of a spark.

However, Leng Feng was strongly in favor of Asleep making a change.

In the previous season, 3U’s tactics had become more and more solidified, with Asleep as more and more of their core. They were really able to obtain good results with this, but it also made them easy to target.

Even if they didn’t meet FTW in the semi-finals, they wouldn’t have been able to get past TPT.

Fu Li was too good at restraining teams who had routines that were set in stone. For TPT, a team like 3U just looked like a little toddler who was still wearing diapers and could be toyed with until they went into seclusion.

In this match, 3U had first choice in banning heroes. After they banned a talent, they also had the first priority in picking a talent.

FTW hadn’t yet had a chance to ban the berserker thief. Leng Feng asked, “Take it?”

Asleep: “Elemental.”

Cong Yi’s eyebrows raised up slightly.

Leng Feng thought it over. “If we let the berserker thief out now, Wei Xiao won’t be polite with it.”

It was rare, but Asleep spoke again, “Elemental.”

Leng Feng looked at Cong Yi.

Cong Yi: “Okay.”

The player in the first position just happened to be Cong Yi. Cong Yi locked in the elemental shaman.
