Chapter 337 - All Star Competition (1/2)

Even though the audience cheered when the dirty Fang Rui fell, he didn’t care at all. Although many did not like his way of fighting, he had many supporters as well. If not, then he wouldn’t have been able to enter the ranks of the all stars.

He politely waved his hands towards the audience along with the victorious Yu Feng and then left the stage.

The individual stage was over. Team One had earned 2 points, while Team Two’s had earned 1 points. Team Two was current losing.

Although it was only for show, the spectators still cared about who won or lost. They paid attention to which side their favorite pros were on. For example, Chen Guo naturally supported the team that Su Mucheng was on.

After a few minutes, the second compet.i.tion, the Group Compet.i.tion, began. The viewers quietly discussed the possible arrangements for the groups as the players for the first match went out.

For Team One, the first player to come out was Excellent Era’s ace, Sun Xiang. As soon as One Autumn Leaf was projected onto the stage, the crowd erupted into cheers.

For Team Two’s, their first player was Wind Howl’s Lin Jingyan.

Sun Xiang’s mechanics were not below Tang Hao’s and One Autumn Leaf was absolutely the better character. On paper, Sun Xiang had the higher chance of winning.

However, the paper didn’t account for the two’s current conditions.

In the Rookie Challenge Compet.i.tion, one had been beaten with a “junior succeeds the senior”, while one had been beaten with a “still too green”. Both defeats had been somewhat embarra.s.sing. Especially for Sun Xiang, since he had dug the hole himself. It had only been two days since then. If their mental states hadn’t adjusted, then their performance on stage could very likely be affected.

When the two sides fought, Lin Jingyan performed efficient and ruthless as always, while Sun Xiang clearly was having a bit of situation. Young people could rarely compete with the veterans in having this type of inner quality. Even though Sun Xiang was stronger on paper, the deciding factor in a match was still their performance on stage. Nothing praiseworthy could be said about Sun Xiang’s current performance. In the end, Lin Jingyan’s Three Hits still had a quarter of his health left, when One Autumn Leaf fell.

Sun Xiang silently exited his booth amidst the crowd’s boos. Chen Guo was even less polite and began ridiculing him. If this had been yesterday, she wouldn’t have gone so far, but after hearing of Ye Xiu’s past, Chen Guo didn’t have any good feelings towards Team Excellent Era. This clearly showed that Chen Guo cared more about the players than the team, so when she discovered a bad relations.h.i.+p between a player and his team, with the team being unjust, her opinions of the team naturally turned sour. How could she care about Sun Xiang, Ye Xiu’s replacement? As soon as she saw that he wasn’t helping the team win any advantages, she immediately looked down on him.

After Sun Xiang answered a few interview questions, he hastily exited the stage. The second player in Team One’s group was Team Misty Rain’s Li Hua using the Ninja, Dark Forest.

Li Hua was known for his quick mechanics and constantly changing movements. This type of player was the bane of a veteran with a deteriorating condition like Lin Jingyan. In addition, Dark Forest had a full health bar, while Three Hits only had a quarter health left. This time, Lin Jingyan was defeated.

Team Two’s followed up with Team Seaside’s Zhao Yang using his Qi Master, Boundless Sea.

Qi Masters were an all around cla.s.s. They had both offensive and defensive skills. They could support and burst. They were very easy to pick up. However, once things reached the pro level, there wasn’t any advantage in being “easy to pick up”. No matter how difficult the cla.s.s, at that level, all of them were being played at extremely high levels.

The battle between these two was another intense fight. Each side displayed their character and play style’s strengths. Neither side made any obvious mistakes either. In the end, Zhao Yang was able to defeat Li Hua with the small advantage Lin Jingyan had brought.

The final player to come out for Team One was Team Hundred Blossom’s Tang Hao. He had succeeded earlier with his “junior succeeds the senior” and was at peak condition. Against Zhao Yang’s Boundless Sea, he easily defeated him.

Team Two’s’s final player was unexpectedly Team Thunderclap’s Xiao s.h.i.+qin.

The audience was very surprised by this arrangement. This was because they all knew that Xiao s.h.i.+qin was good at team play. In the All Star Compet.i.tion, players weren’t allowed to partic.i.p.ate in more than one compet.i.tion, so the audience had expected Xiao s.h.i.+qin to partic.i.p.ate in the team compet.i.tion. In this team of all stars, all of them should be a better choice than Xiao s.h.i.+qin, no?

In any case, the match began and just as expected, Xiao s.h.i.+qin’s solo ability couldn’t be compared to Tang Hao. Even if his character Life Extinguisher was slightly better than Tang Hao’s Delillo, he was still beaten.
