Glory [e-sports]

Chapter 209.2: Close, was no longer alone.

The director showed the audience their farm panel along with a chart displaying both sides’ development.

It could be seen that FTW’s farm was rising up the whole way. After all, they were going through the jungle creeps like crazy, applying pressure on the soldier lanes, and had a few more kills. It would be strange if their farm wasn’t high.

In contrast, TPT had been on a downturn the whole way. The difference in farm only grew bigger and bigger, and their share of the resources was pitifully small.

So, did this mean that TPT was done for in this first match?

Of course, it wasn’t convenient for the commentators to predict such things. Even if they could see the situation clearly, they wouldn’t point it out due to their professionalism.

Those at the scene who understood weren’t only limited to the commentators. There was also Chen Feng who was off-stage, TPT’s coaching team, and 3U, RR, and the Team of Gods who were in the audience. They could all see the situation clearly.

Eurostar was the biggest bright spot on this farm panel.

The farm of the whole team was low, and the whole team was in a much worse situation than FTW. Only Eurostar had the same number of gold coins as Wei Xiao!

At this time, Wei Xiao had 6,000 gold and three full pieces of equipment.

Eurostar now had 5,900 gold and was about to make his third completed piece of equipment.

What did that mean?

TPT would be completely different in the mid and late stages of the game!

Wasn’t FTW aware of this danger? They knew it very clearly.

No one was staring at Eurostar more closely than they were, but this was TPT’s endurance and their ability to drag the rhythm of the whole team forward. Once Eurostar was all stacked up, then he would be an existence that challenged the heavens and the earth!

What kind of early stage did they need? They would be the real daddies in the late stage.

Eurostar had never let his teammates down.

In the middle stage of the game, TPT’s top and middle outer towers had fallen, and most of their jungle zones had been completely occupied. Only the bottom lane was still being defended solidly.

When Eurostar’s three full pieces of equipment were in place, TPT began a strong counterattack!

Zhuang Ruishi went to the bottom lane. Wei Xiao notified them, “I can’t see Brother Stone.” Brother Stone was Zhuang Ruishi’s nickname. It was also because his ID translated into ‘stone’.

Brother Cai: “Got it!”

Yue Wenle had developed pretty well and wasn’t as cowardly. He and Eurostar were old opponents, and there were hints that he wanted to go toe to toe against him.

There could only be one number one ADC in the China competition zone.

It was Yue Wenle last year, and this year, Eurostar-star had his eye on the position.

When it came to the issue of titles, they definitely had to fight to the end.

Bai Cai placed a vision trap and probed Zhuang Ruishi’s position. “Be careful, Old Yue.”

Yue Wenle: “Mm.”

The two of them began to retreat. Unexpectedly, Du Yi, who’d always been conservative, suddenly ‘went crazy’ and used his second skill’s acceleration in addition to their support’s team acceleration equipment to rush up along with Zhuang Ruishi and Eurostar like a gust of wind.

Brother Cai: “!”

As the team support, it was necessary for him to sacrifice himself at critical moments. Brother Cai made a quick decision to cover Yue Wenle’s retreat.

He might be dead, but for better or worse, Yue Wenle would be able to live on.

Yue Wenle didn’t act recklessly at this moment, either. If he still charged ahead in this kind of situation, it wouldn’t just be reckless but simply, seeking death.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Ruishi didn’t intend to stop at all. He went under the tower without any soldiers present and forcibly ensured that Yue Wenle couldn’t leave.

Was this trading his life for his opponent’s?

No…

Zhuang Ruishi wasn’t going to die!

Eurostar had already opened up his extension skill and the range of his ice arrows had doubled. The cold arrows shot out, and Yue Wenle died under a critical hit.

Bai Cai’s heart stuttered. His giant shaman with thick skin and high health had actually ended up as fragile as a glass person.

One arrow, two arrows, three arrows.

It only took four arrows for the giant shaman to die.

What was more fatal was that Zhuang Ruishi, who’d taken three hits from the tower, should’ve died. But Du Yi’s ultimate move landed on his head, providing him with a shield that made him invincible for 0.5 seconds, perfectly protecting Zhuang Ruishi from death.

Everything happened just right. This level of cooperation was godly!

The audience broke out in shrill screams, giving TPT a round of enthusiastic applause for the way they’d boldly turned the tables!

With two kills recorded into his accounts, Eurostar, whose farm had already been equal to Wei Xiao’s, instantly surpassed him.

TPT’s big rhythm started up.

Despite how badly they’d been suppressed in the early stages, or how their mid and top lane towers had fallen, or how miserable Zhuang Ruishi was, as long as Eurostar didn’t fall, TPT could turn the tables from the brink of defeat at any minute!

Eurostar left the bottom lane and started wandering around the canyon. There were at least two bodyguards around him at all times.

Zhuang Ruishi would feel out the way, while Du Yi threw out detection mines. Coupled with Fu Li’s support, FTW was miserable wherever the ice arrows flew.

Bai Cai: “Damn it, we have to try the guard shaman and frost hunter in the future.” This was a demonic combination that was really suffocating.

Wei Xiao: “In that case, I’ll have to use the power thief.” The bottom jungler linkage was very important for this combo.

One sentence was enough to choke Brother Cai.

Line-ups that TPT could use, couldn’t necessarily be used by FTW.

Their direction was different, and their choices were different. Moreover, the game wasn’t over, and it was uncertain if this was a good or bad combination.

FTW’s fans fell silent. Their small hearts couldn’t take it, and they were praying silently.

It had been such a good start to the match. If TPT turned the tables, it would affect the players’ mentalities too much!

Don’t lose! Although it was only the first match, they really didn’t want to see them lose!

The frost hunter in the canyon went against the heavens and the earth, and the audience also began to discuss how to help FTW find a breakthrough in low voices.

On the Team of Gods’ side, Yuan Ze tilted his head and looked at Kim Sung-hyun. “Your apprentice?”

Those who were familiar with it would be able to see at a glance that Eurostar’s play style was very similar to Kim Sung-hyun’s. When he stood up in the later stages, he was just like a proud Daddy Kim.

In particular, this guard shaman, frost hunter, and power thief combination was one that Pro used often.

Kim Sung-hyun stared at the projection of the canyon. “The credit goes to his team’s demonic mage.”

Pro and TPT’s interactions were limited to the most recent training match.

There were others who’d really made an impact.

The demonic mage was Fu Li. Kim Sung-hyun’s sentence showed his great recognition of him.

The laymen watched the excitement, while the experts looked at the details.

The audience only felt that Eurostar could take down one little friend with each arrow and was very badass, but they didn’t think about why he could do it.

Repetition could create talent, too. The most terrible thing about Fu Li was that he could help his teammates achieve this effect.

Pro’s routine was publicly known, but it took some ability to learn the essence of it.

It was obvious that Fu Li had this ability.

Using this routine against FTW was very suitable.

Yuan Ze continued, “They’re still a bit tender.”

He was talking about the current FTW.

Don’t judge based on how this line-up restrained FTW. In fact, if they wanted to break through this routine, it also required a team like FTW.

It was like L&P against Pro.

A fierce top-jungler linkage was a nightmare for Kim Sung-hyun.

Even if Gary couldn’t kill God Kim, Yuan Ze could make up for the missing damage and kill him off.

Once Kim Sung-hyun fell, Pro would lose half of its DPS output. Even if there were only three people left alive in L&P, it would be enough to kill the four in Pro.

Why couldn’t FTW do it?

It wasn’t that Quiet and Close couldn’t do it, but that the other three couldn’t.

Killing off their core in a two against one meant that it would be three against four.

Although L&P centered around their top-jungler combo, their mid-laner, bottom lane, and support were all peak level masters who were enough to take advantage of the gap left by their top-laner and jungler and tear their enemy apart.

Could the three little ones from FTW do the same?

Maybe they could, but did Quiet and Close dare to trust them with it?

Could they trust their teammates like that?

Yuan Ze leaned back in his seat, looking forward to the showdown in the canyon.

In FTW’s team chat.

Bai Cai was a little anxious. “What should we do? If this drags on for any longer, we won’t be able to hold on!”

Wei Xiao had tried several times, wanting to ambush Eurostar. Unfortunately, this brat was good at surviving, and the guard shaman’s detection mines meant that he couldn’t get close.

Wei Xiao and Lu Feng looked at the farm panel at almost the same time.

Eurostar was now number one in farm across the whole canyon, but TPT had fallen too far behind in the early stages, and the whole team’s overall farm was still lower than FTW.

In terms of equipment, other than Eurostar, the four players in TPT were all inferior to FTW. This included Fu Li.

As long as they could kill Eurostar, TPT wouldn’t be able to hold up against FTW’s attacks.

But…

How would they get to him?

Bai Cai’s game awareness was still there. “Their farm is still poor right now. When Fu Li’s demonic mage rises up, we really won’t be able to fight!”

Time was fleeting. When the farm of everyone in TPT caught up with that of FTW, they would really have no way to win.

Wei Xiao inhaled lightly. “Captain.”

Lu Feng: “Alright.”

It was a simple dialogue, but they’d communicated everything that had to be said.

The hand Wei Xiao had on his mouse tightened slightly, and his tone was heavy, “Old Bai, we’re handing things over to you.”

As his voice dropped, he seized the opportunity and rushed at the Eurostar, who was surrounded by layers of protection.

Brother Cai’s heart leapt up, and his goosebumps broke out all over his skin. “Are you just going off on your own!”

This scene was really a bit like that.

The hidden thief rushed up and avoided the power thief’s ground stab, but failed to escape Du Yi’s control.

Eurostar was calm and collected as he shot his ice arrows at the hidden thief’s face.

Wei Xiao’s health bar plummeted, but he didn’t intend to retreat at all. He went straight at Eurostar like a deadly wolf that had vowed to tear out a bloody path.

Eurostar was stabbed by the hidden blade. The light flickered, indicating a critical hit, and half of his health was gone.

A system announcement rang out at the same time: TPT.Star killed FTW.Quiet!

Wei Xiao fell.

Eurostar breathed a sigh of relief, but the death knight’s three headed dog came rushing over.

Du Yi blocked in front of him and took part of the damage, but the death knight connected his skills very quickly, a heavy blade sending Du Yi flying. His sanctions landed, his soul cry demonizing Fu Li, who was attempting to use his skills, and he was finally able to stab Eurostar.

There was no way for Eurostar to retreat. He couldn’t hide, and could only grit his teeth. “I’ll trade myself for him!”

One arrow, two arrows. When he died, the death knight fell to the ground alongside him!

It took both Quiet and Close’s efforts to kill TPT’s Star.

Brother Cai sucked in a breath. “Go!”

Yue Wenle and Ning Zhehan: “Yes!”

The butterfly warlock’s butterflies covered the canyon, and the gun launcher’s gunfire swept across the four from TPT.

Three against five.

FTW’s most immature three little ones faced up against TPT’s four experienced players!

System Announcement––

FTW.Le killed TPT.Du.

TPT.Auroral killed FTW.White.

FTW.Le killed TPT.Rock.

FTW.Silvery killed TPT.Jili.

There were only three people left in the canyon. Ning Zhehan, who was seriously injured, Yue Wenle, who had a third of his health, and Fu Li, who was on the verge of serious injury.

Fu Li used flash and tried to escape.

Ning Zhehan flew over with his butterflies regardless of his own life or death.

Magic beams hit the butterfly warlock.

Butterflies landed on the demonic mage’s shoulder!

They both toppled at the same time!

Only FTW’s marksman, Yue Wenle, was left in the canyon.

The commentator’s voice was excited. “Is there enough time? Is there enough time in their resurrection countdowns?”

“The fastest resurrection time for TPT is 28 seconds. It’s enough for the gun launcher to push all the way to the crystal!”

The canyon collapsed, the sound exploding through their headsets.

Bai Cai and Ning Zhehan wished they could snatch up their keyboards and mice to help him click on the tower.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

The TPT crystal exploded the moment Eurostar resurrected.

FTW won the first match!

The venue filled with 30,000 people exploded with excitement!

“Amazing, FTW!”

Finally, it wasn’t just Close who was amazing. The audience was cheering for the whole team.

Close, was no longer alone.
