Glory [e-sports]

And there were those who didn’t know the situation, “Review? What replay?”

“It’s yesterday’s game, in FTW’s first game against GOQ, Quiet used the blood thief and surrounded three people from GOQ.”

GOQ’s mood was complicated when they saw this comment. They wanted to refute it, but they didn’t have anything to refute it with. Yet if they didn’t refute it… QAQ!

A group of fans who’d watched the competition gave a general summary of the situation, making it a point to emphasize the final interview. What’s more, they directly repeated Quiet’s words exactly as he’d said them, without getting a single word wrong.

Those who didn’t know were shocked, and those who knew had their memories refreshed. They looked at the live broadcast taking place right in front of them and felt that this experience was quite unique.

“How is this a jungler king?”

“He’s clearly the king of cocky talk!”

“You can be strong, but my Q is cocky and strong.”

A variety of slogans were flying around, and amongst them were also haters, “Who doesn’t know how to boast? It’ll be funny when he screws up.”

“He even wants to give a demonstration; isn’t he just using his mouth and talking blindly?”

“Sitting and waiting for him to screw up.”

“He’ll definitely screw up.”

Wei Xiao didn’t look at the chaotic scrolling comments at all. He had a good memory, and he’d also helped GOQ to over the replay yesterday, so he remembered the farm difference between the death knight and blood thief at the time––almost 2000 gold.

In a MOBA game, farm was very important. The so-called farm gap referred to the difference in gold between the two sides.

Wei Xiao’s farm had been 2000 gold higher than that of yesterday’s death knight, which meant he had one more full piece of gear. One additional piece of finished gear more than doubled his attributes, which was also what had given him the power to take down three kills in a 1v3.

Now, Asleep’s blood raven thief had 2000 more gold than him, basically reproducing yesterday’s match.

What he wanted to show off was precisely how to win the game from GOQ’s perspective!

It was coming.

The blood raven thief in the clown’s clothing came out of the grass, and the death knight in its heavy attack form was coated in a cold, black aura. He cut across with a long blade, the special effect from the heavy blade attack creating roiling, hollow faces as he charged at the blood raven thief who had no way to resist!

Asleep’s reaction speed was very fast. He used to feather transforms to pull back and avoid the attack. At the same time, he tossed out the blood raven’s kiss, trying to counter-control Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao had obviously expected his reaction. He switched forms instantly and summoned up the hell horse. In the moment when he mounted, his mount stepped on flames and charged at the blood raven thief.

There was a bang!

Red and black special effects appeared on the screen.

Raven’s fall smashed onto Wei Xiao’s head. The death knight took advantage of the horse’s high speed and flexibility to reduce the number of marks and simultaneously leave a magic mark on Asleep.

Everything happened so fast that the audience watching the live broadcast were all dazzled.

The skill releases and linkages were too fast. The seamlessly integrated basic attacks were too accurate, and there were special effects flying everywhere across the sky. They just felt that the canyon on the screen had been magnified infinitely, and the death knight and the blood raven thief had become living people, fighting for the final victory with their life and death at stake!

Brother Cai couldn’t help himself and started a commentary, “The death knight has switched forms, and the heavy form’s forced control has grasped the blood raven thief by the throat!”

“The blood raven thief isn’t backing away at all. When the control ended, he used ‘blood oath’ to draw blood and protect his life!”

“Not good! The death knight’s magic marks are filled up. As long as he uses his third skill, soul cry, the blood raven thief’s blood oath will become ineffective.”

“He did it!”

“The damage caused by the blood raven that’s been enchanted is now invalid.”

“Asleep’s blood oath came up empty!”

The death knight only needed to use their skills and basic attacks to enchant their enemy. Once they used the soul cry while in their heavy attack form, they could summon the opponent’s soul and cause them to enter an enchanted state for one second.

All damage dealt to their opponents while a hero was in the enchanted state was invalid.

When other heroes’ damage was rendered invalid, at most it simply meant that they couldn’t deal damage. But when the blood raven thief’s blood oath was rendered invalid, that was enough to kill them.

The blood oath had a dual effect. It would absorb the enemy’s blood and restore the hero’s health.

Now that it was invalid, it meant that Asleep couldn’t recover his health!

The blood raven thief that had already been dragged down to a critical state…

System Announcement––

Quiet killed Can’t Sleep.

The death knight made a beautiful sword flourish, then drove the hell horse all the way to Asleep’s resurrection crystal.

Victory!

Wei Xiao perfectly demonstrated a reversal in adversity!

In the scrolling comments: “Cool!”

“Holy shit, he’s really good, this man really is both cocky and strong!”

“He didn’t mess up, the haters should come out and accept their death!”

The haters hurriedly switched sides and became fans for three seconds, “God Q is badass!”

They were leaving, they were leaving, their faces really hurt.

3U’s training room.

Asleep: “……”

Cong Yi didn’t say anything.

3U’s mid-laner, Li Chun, came downstairs just then. He blinked and asked, “What’s wrong with the captain?”

Cong Yi translated perfectly, “He’s closing himself up.”

Li Chun: “???”

The Brother Sleep who normally might die if he spoke more than one word opened up his mouth and said, “I’m not.”

Li Chun: “!”

This young fellow was startled, and even thought he was dreaming.

Cong Yi spread out his hands.

So was he closing himself up or not?

Was there a mistake with Cong Yi’s translation, or was Asleep saying something that didn’t match his heart?

Cough, Li Chunchun didn’t dare to guess.

Wei Xiao was in the midst of explaining in the live broadcast studio, “Thanks to Brother Sleep for his perfect cooperation. Did you see that? The magic marks should be stacked up quickly, and forms should be switched seamlessly so that the soul cry effect can be maximized.”

“Oh, ordinary players shouldn’t try to learn this. Those in the passers-by games won’t have blood raven thieves with Asleep’s god-like hand speed.”

Sleep fans were in a complicated mood: They were very happy, the grandmaster seemed to be praising their Sleep… like hell!

A message popped up in the private chat channel––

Asleep: “Again.”

Wei Xiao had ulterior motives, “Is your Yiyi there?”

Asleep: “Yes. Disgusting.”

Sleep God’s senior fans helped translate in the scrolling comments: God Q, our Sleep is saying that Yiyi is there, but you shouldn’t call him in such a disgusting manner.

It wasn’t the first day that Wei Xiao had gotten to know Asleep, and he did understand him: “Okay, Sleep-sleep.”

Asleep: “……”

The Sleep fans: “Why is it that our Sleep doesn’t say that it’s disgusting? He only allows God Q to call himself Sleep-sleep, but he doesn’t allow him to call Cong Yi: Yiyi?”

“Stop it, Laozi is a fan of the childhood sweethearts CP, everyone else should get lost!”

“Don’t tear apart my CP, my twin junglers ship is as real as gold and silver!”

Wei Xiao continued typing, “My family’s vegetable is here too, how about having a doubles game?”

Brother Cai: “!”

What?

What vegetable, what game?!

Bai Cai looked at him in horror.

Because they hadn’t turned on the camera, Wei Xiao turned to give him a look. But he fluttered his eyes too much, and Brother Vegetable deeply suspected that he was showing off his long eyelashes.

Brother Vegetable used his cell phone to type out a message and showed it to him, “Don’t mess with me, I don’t want to play a doubles game with Asleep and Cong Yi.”

What was he thinking? These two were the champions of last year’s domestic doubles competition and the global runner ups. How obsessed was he, to want to battle with the two of them?!

Wei Xiao ignored him and said in the live broadcast room, “Our Brother Vegetable is eager to give it a try, he wants to compete with God Yi.”

Brother Cai: “???”

He wasn’t typing anymore. He directly used his mouth to shape the words: Wei Xiao, f*ck your daddy!

Wei Xiao pretended not to see and therefore not to know anything, “Our Brother Vegetable is really like this. He’s a very outstanding good man and particularly wants to show off his strength.”

“Yes, yes, yes, super handsome!”

“Brother Vegetable has always been handsome, he’s the second most handsome in FTW, got it?”

“Who’s the first?”

“Of course it’s our captain.”

“Me?”

“I’m not handsome. At most, I can only be considered cool. You guys can call me Cool Brother Wei.”

Brother Cai: “…………”

Nobody was praising you, yet you can still do a standup crosstalk on your own. Wei Xiaoxiao, what are you doing playing e-sports professionally? What are you doing studying at university? How about quickly going to find a master to learn from and make your debut at the Spring Festival Gala!

Far away in North America, Lu Feng had muted his side of the call a long time ago. Otherwise, his short laugh would’ve scared Brother Vegetable into diving under the table.

It was eleven o’clock in the evening there, but Lu Feng wasn’t sleepy at all. He listened to Wei Xiao’s voice as he dealt with documents that had been sent over from China, and the corners of his mouth had always remained curved up.

Lu Feng knew why Wei Xiao wanted to play a doubles game with 3U.

At the solo level, Wei Xiao could crush the entire China Glory circle, and he could crush them all mercilessly.

After all, at Wei Xiao’s level, if he really were to solo in the global competition, he would still be likely to rank near the top, even when faced with players like Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun.

At this level, more solo was meaningless.

Wei Xiao was obviously worried about the 5v5 game they would be playing in a week.

FTW vs 3U.

Wei Xiao could suppress Asleep, but Asleep wasn’t a single person in a 5v5 game.

3U’s team cohesion was very strong. Perhaps because their captain was too taciturn, it had led to Cong Yi being too good at reading people’s hearts.

Although Asleep was 3U’s captain, their main commander was Cong Yi.

A support commander had great advantages because they had the widest range of vision across the entire canyon, their operations required the least energy, and the support position was the one that moved around the map the most frequently.

In many teams, the support player was the deputy commander even if they weren’t the main commander.

FTW had tried to get Bai Cai to command for a while, but back then, Bai Cai was a support player with no soul and didn’t take responsibility for anything. He was a very unaffected youth, and there was no way to force him to do anything.

Later on, Wei Xiao had entered the team. Lu Feng and Chen Feng never said it specifically, but in fact, they wanted to hand over the position of commander to him.

Wei Xiao’s character was very suited to be a commander. His decisiveness, agility, and real-time analysis abilities were all remarkable. When coupled with Lu Feng’s support and oversight, it wasn’t a big problem.

But, if…

If Bai Cai was able to take on the role of deputy commander, then FTW’s team cohesion would go up to a higher level.

Lu Feng set down his notebook and looked at the studio.

Although he couldn’t see Wei Xiao, he seemed to be able to see his bright, black eyes.

In his eyes, there was endless energy and matching wisdom.

Very beautiful.

Brother Vegetable was pushed up to the forefront just like this and entered a doubles game room.

The live broadcast was on, so our God Bai had to hold up his dignity even if it was all an act, “What are we using.”

Wei Xiao was amused into laughter by his appearance that looked like he was about to cry yet still was still putting on airs, “I’ll listen to Brother Cai.”

Bai Cai glared at him, and his mouth moved: Like hell you listen to me!

There was a BP section for doubles games, and the banning was more ruthless than in 5v5. The bans affected entire classes

Yes, the eleven classes in Glory corresponded to over 140 talents. Banning classes mean that one ban could remove over 10 talent specs.

For example, the thief class had 12 talents.

If the other side banned it, then none of the 12 talents could be selected.

Fortunately, there were only four ban positions. If it was like 5v5 with six ban positions, then it would be enough to ban people into seclusion.

However, this was just a private friendly match, and it was also being broadcast. Everyone just banned the classes casually and weren’t so careful about it.

Then, Bai Cai saw that the other side’s Cong Yi had banned priests.

Brother Cai: “……”

The God Bai who started from priests grew angry and banned the shamans with the next ban!

God Yi’s shamans were excellent enough to soar up to heaven, and it was no worse than Li Heran from South Korea.

This doubles game hadn’t even started yet, but the scent of gunpowder from both sides was already strong.

The scrolling comments were laughing loudly and trying to incite Wei Xiao, “God Q, ban thieves! If they’re not going to act human, then we can be shameless too!”

Wei Xiao: “That won’t do, I still need to maintain my dignity.”

Then, he banned the druids.

Glory had eleven classes, but only three of the classes focused on support––

Priests, shamans, and druids.

Bai Cai was shocked: Do you even f*cking want me to play or not!

All of the heroes that he knew how to play had been banned, what the hell was he supposed to play!

However, the Wei Xiao who wanted his dignity was very calm, “Don’t panic, everyone, Caicai said that he wants to use the medicine warlock to carry.”

Brother Caicai: “???”

It was just an entertainment game, why did Laozi have to use a talent with such a high level of difficulty!

Were you really treating Laozi like Yan Jiang?

It was as though Wei Xiao could see right through to his heart. He blew out another rainbow fart, “What are you talking about? How could Brother Cai be a little God Yan? My Brother Cai is the new light of support!”

Bai Cai: “…………”

No matter how much he wanted to pretend to be calm, he couldn’t hold on anymore. Bai Cai spoke darkly, “Can we not try to find trouble on the moon?”

Light of support?!

Was Captain Yan dead, or had Captain Li retired, or had the translation machine stopped working?!

Brother Cai was a small white cabbage. Why should he go and offend so many big bosses!

Wei Xiao had also become a translation machine, “It’s my slip of the tongue, what ‘light of support’? Our vegetable is the god of support!”

Bai Cai: “…………”

What did it mean to be forced to take action? Just take a look at Brother Cai.

And it had been written in capitals, outlined in gold and highlighted with lightning.
