Chapter 191.2: System Announcement First Blood! (2/2)
He stood quietly on the dazzling stage, and there was a unique sense of world weariness about him that made the fans fall for him.
The players all came out, bowed to the audience, and then the battle began.
The host’s voice was crisp and lively, “The first BO5 game of the China competition zone’s semi-finals has officially begun!”
The audience gave a warm round of applause.
The referees came up onto the stage and checked over the players’ information, looked over their peripherals, and the players started debugging their headsets and machines.
Finally, the game server was set up, and they entered the BP stage.
The contestants couldn’t see what was going on on the stage, but they vaguely heard the audience’s screams.
Wei Xiao was very excited. “It must be because the holographic projection is too beautiful!”
Bai Cai had originally been a nervous vegetable, and now… his mood had collapsed!
Little Ning burst out laughing. “That should be it.”
Wei Xiao sighed. “Unfortunately, we can’t see anything from here.”
The players really couldn’t see anything, but the audience was very happy.
Holographic projection technology had been maturing more and more. Now, it could project the entire canyon into the venue, and the audience could see a 3D picture directly without having to wear 3D glasses.
As soon as the game entered the BP segment, they could see the projected heroes standing on the screen one by one, just like seeing real people.
Both teams began to ban and select heroes, and the projection on the stage changed as they switched their selections. The audience was so dazzled that they didn’t have attention to spare on analyzing the line-up.
The commentators were able to stay more professional, and they attempted to draw the audience’s attention back to the game. “As expected, 3U banned the shadow thief.”
“Of course, Close’s shadow thief has to be shown respect.”
“Speaking of which, can Quiet brush out nine light arcs however he likes?”
“Hard to say.”
“I don’t feel that it’s necessary for him to waste time on it. No one will ever let the shadow thief out.”
“It can still be used during the doubles competition.”
“There’s still Close in the doubles competition, and Quiet doesn’t need to take the shadow thief.”
Their discussion aligned with many of the fans’ ideas.
Practicing the nine light arcs was time-consuming and of little use, and it was really unnecessary.
No one would release the shadow thief to FTW in the team competition, and there was Close in the doubles. Quiet should focus on improving his skill with other talents.
The audience was quite regretful. “I want to see the nine light arcs…”
“Will we be able to see the nine light arcs under the holographic projection in this lifetime?”
“The singles competition! There might even be ten light arcs!”
“But we have to wait for a long time before the singles…”
The BP segment between both sides ended amidst this discussion from the commentators and the audience.
FTW and 3U were old acquaintances and were very familiar with each other’s routines. It was hard for them to mess with each other in the BP segment.
On FTW’s side, Lu Feng took the death knight, Wei Xiao took the immortal thief, Ning Zhehan took the fire mage, Bai Cai took the storm priest who had been a little unpopular this season, and Yue Wenle took the night druid.
3U wasn’t polite with their line-up, either. Xuan Long snatched up the berserker warrior, Asleep took the hidden thief, Li Chun took the ice mage, Cong Yi took the light priest, and Wen Wei took the fire launcher.
Death knight vs berserker warrior.
Immortal thief vs hidden thief.
Fire mage vs ice mage.
Storm priest vs light priest.
Night druid vs fire launcher.
Judging from the line-up, both sides had their own advantages and disadvantages. How the match turned out would depend on their on the spot performances.
The commentator analyzed the early and later stages of the line-up as the game finished loading. The entire canyon spread out in front of the audience.
Even if they’d already been psychologically prepared for the holographic projection, the audience still grew very enthusiastic when they saw this scene!
“It’s like watching a big animated movie!”
“The immortal thief is so handsome ahhhhh, with the holographic projection, every hair seems to float like that of an immortal’s. I’ll love the immortal thief for ten thousand years!”
“The death knight is explosively handsome, too. Close switched to the heavy form at the start; this figure, these bone wings, this magical armor, I’m dead, and I need Close to kiss me before I can be revived.”
“Upstairs, dream on!”
“Pull the person upstairs out and chop them to death!”
The audience in the live broadcast room were all acting like this, and the live audience was even more dazzled.
They cleared their jungle, clashed in the lanes.
Neither side entered the opposing side’s jungle, and they’d originally thought that it would be a smooth start, but unexpectedly, after one and a half minutes––
“The death knight and berserker warrior started fighting!”
“The berserker warrior has an advantage before level six.”
“The death knight has stacked up a lot of magic marks. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have enough skill points and the magic marks are useless.”
“The two of them are losing health very quickly. I never knew that Xuan Long was so fierce.”
“They’re at half health, but Close doesn’t show any intention of retreating at all.”
“Neither Asleep nor Wei Xiao have gone up to provide support!”
“This…”
