Chapter 287: No Insider, Here's Some Honorable Shakespeare Jokes
The situation on the field was exactly as Ye Du Hantan had analyzed.
In the first game, Samsara made a lot of not-so-advanced mistakes and it was obvious that they still hadn't adjusted.
But what’s funny is that these mistakes were actually the few highlights of the game because the show was so effective.
For example, after the battle had been going on for a few minutes, the team's priest Fang Minghua threw out Holy Fire, a priest's strong control skill.
But what’s ridiculous is that at the moment when the sacred fire was ignited, all six members of Samsara almost turned their heads suddenly at the same time and shifted their gaze away from the area of the sacred fire.
The case is solved. Fang Minghua is the main prop player when playing CS.
When he fired the Holy Fire, coupled with its bright light effect, all the members of Samsara subconsciously treated it as a high flash and immediately back-dodged in an orderly manner.
This back flash may seem insignificant, but on the court, it is enough for Tyranny to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Originally, Tyranny's long-range firepower was far inferior to Samsara, and it was a bit like being suppressed by the long-range attack against the short-range attack.
But this moment of negligence gave them an opportunity to advance, and the situation was reversed in an instant.
For example, in the middle and late stages of the game, the health of the elemental mage Rota, controlled by Bai Yanfei in the Tyranny team, dropped below half.
Facing other opponents, this amount of health is definitely enough to fight, but facing the strongest sharpshooter Zhou Zekai, it is basically at the kill line.
Zhou Zekai didn't give in either. He fired a Barrett sniper rifle without hesitation, hitting the target in the head.
Bai Yanfei's health dropped rapidly to the limit. He felt that the game was almost over. He had given up resistance and tried to use a few more small skills before falling.
Unexpectedly, after Zhou Zekai shot Bai Yanfei in the head with a sniper rifle, he ignored him and went to attack Han Wenqing with Lu Boyuan.
Not only Zhou Zekai, but everyone else in Samsara also basically assumed that Rota was doomed after seeing the shot hit the target. They all went about their own business, and for a moment, no one even paid any attention to him.
Zhang Xinjie was able to calmly heal him with a few skills.
Until Bai Yanfei's health was restored, and then he calmly released a thunder and fire without anyone supervising, giving Zhou Zekai a photon skin rejuvenation and a stewing furnace bake.
He reacted belatedly:
No, he was shot in the head by my sniper rifle, so how come he is not dead yet?
At that time, Zhou Zekai was ready to suspend the game and report this as a bug. It was only after Jiang Botao reminded him that he realized that he had made a mistake.
This is Honor. Even if you hit the head with the Barrett sniper, only half of the enemy's health can be taken away.
It is completely different from the mode in CS where one shot costs you three barrels of health.
Samsara made many similar mistakes, which made many fans who were paying attention to the Glory League and also learning the newly launched CS:GO laugh.
We CSGO players are like this.
These small but not insignificant jokes actually brightened up the atmosphere in the venue a little, and it was finally not as dead silent as before.
But then, the audience soon stopped laughing.
During the short break after the first game, the Samsara team, whose fighting spirit was aroused by the failure of defending the game, had a brief discussion and quickly determined the next strategic plan:
Able to old man.
The biggest advantage of reincarnation is that they are generally young and have plenty of energy.
As for Tyranny, several of its core players are basically veterans who debuted in Season 5 or earlier.
In that case, let's just fight them till we get old!
After all, everyone in the reincarnation team is a player. Even if they know a little about operations, it is impossible for them to change tactics and give up the winning style of play just for the so-called "good-looking game".
They have to continue to slow down until Han Wenqing and others start to decline, and then they can make a breakthrough in one fell swoop!
They have come up with a solution, but the audience will be in real trouble.
The tempo is already very slow, boring and hypnotic, and you're slowing it down even more?
But in this round, even the luck was against the audience. After the start of the game, the two sides missed each other four times in a row during the process of changing homes.
After wasting more than ten minutes, the two commentators were almost dry-mouthed from the awkward chat, and then the fight started.
But after the beating, he still looked like a bear.
But it’s hard for Li Yibo, who is commentating on the stage.
The commentators of the Glory games, apart from some heavyweight skills, simply cannot analyze the details of the players’ battles.
After all, with these players' hand speeds often exceeding 300, no matter how hard Li Yibo talks, he won't be able to keep up with their speed.
So when he was commentating in the past, Li Yibo usually explained the players' fighting styles and their strengths and weaknesses within a certain period of time.
And most importantly, tactics.
Who goes around the back, who is killed by the terrain, where there is concentrated fire but more people are killed than others, these are usually the time for the commentator to come into play.
In addition, it is to introduce the restraint relationship between weapons and equipment, etc.
But this time it was different. There were basically not many points to maneuver in the terrain at the junction, and the fighting on both sides was extremely stable. There was really no explosive point at all.
Li Yibo wanted to be more passionate, but he couldn't find any space to break in.
All we can say is that he is not Androny after all, and he cannot learn the exaggerated and bootlicking commentary style of his father-in-law, Sa.
The game was boring, the commentary was formulaic, and the pace was so slow it was like Shakespeare.
How could the e-sports audience, whose tastes have been spoiled by the LPL, tolerate all this? Some of them have already started to leave early.
The rest did not stay because the game was so exciting. Many of them were new and old fans of the Tyranny team and Han Wenqing personally. They insisted on staying because they saw that the home team had a chance to get off to a good start.
As a result, in the second game, after Tyranny gradually fell into decline under the reincarnation's old man tactics, even these people could not help but leave.
The number of people in the venue was becoming increasingly sparse.
The two commentators naturally did not ignore these details when they were explaining the game. They could only secretly complain while expecting the two sides to play some exciting scenes. Fans left the game in large numbers ahead of time. This kind of thing has never happened in the past when Honor was developing normally.
This time, it got off to a bad start.
If this is the case for the fans who spent money to be there, then Xianyu’s live broadcast room is even worse.
You know, those who are willing to spend money to buy tickets to watch the live show offline are more or less fans with real feelings.
But when you watch live broadcasts online, it’s a mixed bag.
Previously, Honor had used fan circles to attack its fans and used saturation marketing, which created a lot of popularity but also attracted controversy.
At this time, there were many people who liked to have fun and were waiting in the official live broadcast room, ready to see whether this Glory League would be a success or a failure.
At this moment, the carnival began:
"No, I'm tired of watching a game. What Shakespeare?"
"What you're going to see next is a suffocating bladder game!"
"No, that's it? The best e-sports league in the world? That's it?"
"I thought that since Guard Rong was so rampant, he must have prepared something big, but he ended up pooping a big one!"
"Guard Rong is speaking! Guard Rong is speaking!"
"I thought the pace of the LPL in the summer season was already slow, but when I compared it to here, I'm sorry, I was wrong, LPL brother!"
Amid the chaos, some people even took the lead in apologizing to LPL.
The summer season uses the S6 version, and several top laners who shined in the Spring Finals and MSi have been nerfed, with many changes to vision, talents and other mechanisms.
In general, it is a version that is relatively biased towards operations.
Especially the appearance of the green jungle knife and the changes in the accessory mechanism have once again increased the importance of vision operation.
For a time, the style of the entire LPL was turning towards operations and development, and the pace of the game was naturally much slower than before.
It is not uncommon for a game to drag on for forty minutes.
This kind of slowdown originally caused some controversy, and many people felt that it was not as exciting as the passionate competition with MSi in the spring playoffs.
But everything is afraid of comparison.
Compared with the suffocating old-man game in Honor of Kings, the slowdown of LPL suddenly seems much better.
This proves the value of LPL from another perspective.
There is chaos online and offline audiences are constantly lost.
In the reincarnation strategy of waiting for the old man to come, the bright future that Glory had worked so hard to build up was gradually collapsing in full view of the public.
after an hour.
"Let us congratulate Team Samsara. The defending champions used their superior willpower to turn the tide after losing the first game and get off to a good start in the new season."
Pan Lin weakly announced the victory of Samsara.
Although the old man tactic is disgusting, it is indeed effective.
However, rather than saying that Han Wenqing is old and lacks energy, it is better to say that he consciously chose to give in.
Seeing that Samsara was planning to drag the game to victory by outlasting the old man, he simply went with the flow, gradually reducing the intensity of operations and conserving his physical strength.
If it had happened in the past, this would have been tantamount to letting the opponent win, and Han Wenqing would never have done it even if he had killed him.
But now, he doesn't care.
The last glimmer of hope for glory vanished in the face of their extremely poor handling of the home exchange flow.
This game has really entered the end of its life.
In this case, there is no need to take it too seriously.
Han Wenqing now is not willing to burn himself out for glory and miss the promise with Ye Xiu.
At the end of the game, although it was Samsara who outlasted the old man, they were also somewhat exhausted after playing three rounds of such high intensity.
Jiang Botao stood up as if relieved, stretched himself, and prepared to go over and shake hands.
However, when his eyes passed the computer monitor, he was stunned.
The lights in the stadium illuminated the audience seats, but most of the people who had been bustling with people before had left.
Among the few audience members still in their seats, many were either playing with their mobile phones or simply drowsy.
There was some garbage scattered on the ground, as well as a lot of cheering signs and sticks.
It was probably dropped by the fans when they left.
For a moment, it was actually a bit desolate.
Jiang Botao sighed blankly.
The nirvana that Glory had placed high hopes on...is this the result?
Second update, good night everyone.
