Chapter 245.1: A mystery that was never solved. (1/2)

Support Close?
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, but a stream of heat soon poured out of his heart, and he offered up his own services. “I-I can tell you…” At the time, Brother Tang had still been part of the younger generation. Although he was brave, he was still nervous.
Yuan Ze squinted at him. “Are you going to teach me?”
Tang Chen: “……”
Yuan Ze: “Wake up a bit. I taught you this talent.”
Brother Tang woke up.
The space-time knight had indeed been something that Yuan Ze had taught Tang Chen. A professional player picking up a talent wasn’t just limited to simply understanding its skills and moves. Many other aspects also had to be considered, such as game awareness, line-up matching, early and late stage plans, and so on.
Although not every talent had its own line-up system, it was very important for a qualified player to be able to distinguish the differences between each talent within the same profession.
There were many differences involved even for the top lane. Even if they were both DPS type talents, there would still be a slight difference. Only by grasping the subtleties of each talent would they be able to stand out from other experts among the crowd.
Tang Chen’s space-time knight was played well and he’d trained it a lot; Yuan Ze had almost never played the space-time knight and hadn’t trained with it.
But the latter player was really better than the former.
Yuan Ze started complaining about it as soon as he picked it up. “Can this kind of damage do anything except tickle other players?”
“This basic attack – is it a shoulder and neck massage?”
“This control – the range marker is so wide, but it’s so slow to start up. Only the blind can’t escape it, right?”
The hero he was best at was being disdained like this. Tang Chen: “……”
He wanted to argue, but couldn’t figure out where to start.
Although these words were ugly, they were reasonable and made sense coming from Yuan Ze’s mouth.
The space-time knight’s damage was really inferior to that of DPS talents like the berserker warrior and the blood warrior. The damage from its basic attack couldn’t be compared with the death knight daddy who could deal 3800 damage with a strengthened critical hit, and as for its control skill…
Brother Tang had also complained about it before. The range marker was too large, and it took almost 0.2 seconds to start up. How blind would their opponent have to be to miss it?
Casual players’ reaction here: Offence taken!
However, the space-time knight’s biggest bug was his ultimate move. As long as the space-time knight had its ultimate move mechanism, then it was absolutely valuable.
Yuan Ze cursed the space knight from head to tail, but he didn’t mention the ultimate move at all.
Strong was strong. If it was used well, then it could reverse heaven and earth. This was also why he was training with the talent.
Later on, the Team of Gods fell apart. Let alone being teammates; they weren’t even in the same competition zone. Yuan Ze’s space knight naturally never had an opportunity to be taken out and used.
And it was also later that Tang Chen used the space knight to support Close again and again. Whenever he tried to turn the tide and avoid defeat, he would think to himself, “If it was Yuan Ze using the space-time knight, how would he do it?”
Unfortunately, this was a mystery that was never solved.
No one would ever know how far Close could’ve gone with Yuan Ze’s space-time knight.
No one would ever know whether Yuan Ze’s space-time knight would be able to let Close return to the state he was in two seconds ago after brushing out nine light arcs, so that he could brush out another set.
And no one would ever know whether Yuan Ze had wanted to break the Team of Gods taboo––accompanying Close to the doubles competition.
The space-time knight could reverse time.
But Yuan Ze couldn’t.
When hearing that he wanted to take the space knight, the most excited one was Old G. “Ah! What a pity, FTW banned the shadow thief QAQ!”
He could even convey an expression pack when speaking, really worthy of being Old G, a little language genius.
In full-game BP mode, any talent that had been used before couldn’t be used again, and any talent that was banned couldn’t be banned again.
Before the start of a new match, the system would provide BP data for the previous match, and these talents couldn’t be selected for the next match.
However, the battle of freedom was a special case and wasn’t included in this.
Although Old G had used the shadow thief, he’d used it during the battle of freedom and it didn’t count. It was just that FTW had banned it for this match, and from how regretful he seemed, it was evident that he had a routine with Yuan Ze’s space knight.
Yuan Ze: “Take the berserker thief first.”
At present, the berserker thief was indisputably one of the strongest jungler talents. They had first pick in this match and could snatch it up first. At the very least, they wouldn’t lose out in the jungler position.
The coach thought that way too, but he was also worried. “When it comes to DPS…”
Reasonably speaking, DPS should come from the mid-lane and bottom lane, and at most, the jungler would supplement some damage, but in L&P, Yuan Ze held up half the heavens. Although he was on the top lane, he was still an important DPS dealer. If he played the space-time knight, then there wouldn’t be enough DPS, and secondly, it wouldn’t be easy for him to cut to the back row. It would make things quite difficult.
VIVI muttered, “I’ll take the demonic mage.”
This baby-faced, smiling tiger’s voice was very low. It was enough to show how angry President V was about being bullied by Little Ning in the last match.
The back waves beat down the front waves, and the front waves had gotten very angry!
If he didn’t mess with him in this game, then granny gray’s tail would fly all the way up to the heavens.
The coach thought about it. “Okay.”
AA also took a talent that had strong DPS in the late stages. L&P was using a standard Glory line-up this time, but it wasn’t their own regular line-up.
After the BP ended, the commentators and audience were surprised to see the results of the BP.
Yuan Ze was using the space-time knight?
What kind of routine was this!
The last person to pick in L&P took the space knight. At that moment, everyone thought, “Mo should be using the space knight to play support. Interesting, interesting.”
Very quickly, it turned to–– “That’s not right! there’s already a holy priest in the line-up…”
So then–– “Holy shit, is Scum Man Yuan using the space-time knight!”
The scrolling comments exploded. Some were confused, some curious, but most of them were quietly happy. Of course, there were also haters and trolls who tried to tilt the atmosphere with dark self-indulgence.
“How much money did FTW give? I’ll pay double to buy L&P. Can’t they play the game properly!”
“What kind of under the table deal is this? L&P is clearly just taking it easy; can’t they be a bit less shameless!”
The conversation in FTW’s team chat was also dumbfounded.
Wei Xiao: “The old bandit has another trick!”
