Chapter 89 – Home Advantage
In the middle of everyone's cheers, the match officially started .
In the pro scene, an overwhelming victor was extremely rare . It was impossible to show off such ridiculous gaps in strength such as between an experienced veteran and a noob . A few powerful, dominating players and their god-level characters could create a certain amount of suppression to ordinary pro players and their characters, but Su Mucheng and her Dancing Rain weren't at this level .
However, in comparison, Gao Jie and his Stellar Sword were a bit inferior . But this sort of strength shown on paper wasn't enough to say whether he would win or lose . In this one on one match, it wouldn't be a surprise if either of them won . Their performance on stage could either increase or make up for the gap between their strengths on paper .
When all was said and done, in the end, this was a player-oriented competition . God-level characters also needed a player to utilize its strength . No matter how tyrannical a player was, there would always be a time when the player would go into a slump and lose . What's more, it was currently a period of rising stars . The title of unequalled had already been sealed long ago .
“Beauty Su, I'll be starting now!” A message from the Stellar Sword jumped out in the chat box next to the match scene .
That's right, in the Glory competitions, although the two opponents couldn't use their voice to communicate, they could type out words to send out a message . In the playing field, there was only this single public chat channel . The messages sent here wouldn't be blocked and would be directly broadcasted for everyone to see .
Truthfully, in some matches, the trash talk between the two players were even more memorable than the actual battle . In the pro scene, there was no lack of players who were experts at trash talking to irritate their opponents . After the message was sent out, the opponent would definitely see it . There was no way to block or close the chat box .
Of course, whether a player wanted to use this sort of method all relied on the player's preferences . In all of these years, all kinds of players with different styles appeared .
There were players that would talk whenever there was a chance to .
There were players that would seize any opportunity to calmly insult their opponents .
There were players that wouldn't say anything from start to finish .
There were even a few dirty players that would fill the screen insulting their opponent's genitals… . .
And ultimately, that sort of dirty talk wasn't blocked either . However, those players would be penalized by the Alliance . Moreover, with so many people watching, dirty and violent words would obviously damage the player's image . As a result, most of these happened when they made a mistake and accidentally said them . Specialists in talking dirty hadn't appeared in a long time .
Gao Jie's opening remark implicitly made fun of her being a girl . Happy Internet Cafe's numerous fans immediately went into an outrage and roared at him . However, Su Mucheng only typed out a smiley face and said “Okay!”
Gao Jie had no other verbal attacks other than his opening remark, so he immediately took out his sword and began to attack . Stellar Sword was a Blade Master . Su Mucheng was a Launcher . One was a long-ranged class and the other a close-combat class . Gao Jie relied on his familiarity with the map to wind around, hiding his body as he moved, and quietly closed in on Dancing Rain .
Why was Gao Jie familiar with the map? This was because in the regular season, the Glory League adopted a double round-robin system, splitting into a home and away game . The home ground's biggest advantage was that they had the privilege of choosing the map .
Glory had numerous battle maps and added new ones every year . Knowing which map they would use naturally meant the players could do research and practice beforehand . They might also play in the same map in their away game, but they obviously wouldn't have the focused practice like when they did in their home games . It was definitely possible that the home team and the visiting team prepared for the same map, but such an occurrence hadn't yet happened . And as the number of maps in Glory increased, the probability of this happening also decreased .
If the map chosen was the same as what their opponents had once chosen as their home map, then that was their own mistake and couldn't be blamed on others .
The current map that was used in this one on one match was a white snow covered town . Stellar Sword's character wore a full body of white-colored equipment . Even the opponent's Silver weapon “White Lightsaber” implied that it emitted white light . The reason for using this map was too obvious .
At this moment, Stellar Sword was taking the long route to close in on Dancing Rain . The current broadcast was on Stellar Sword's first person perspective, letting everyone experience his current circumstances . Then, it switched to a bird's eye view of the entire map . From this view, they could see that Dancing Rain wasn't stupidly staying in her original position, not moving and turning around everywhere .
The point of view quickly switched to Dancing Rain .
The match broadcast had many different points of views . They didn't only have the player's first-person view . Right now, it was a third-person view letting everyone see that Dancing Rain was circling around a small area scouting around .
From this, it could be seen that whether the match was exciting or not was decided by the performance of the two players . However, this broadcast also showed to everyone that an outstanding cameraman was needed for this too . If the camera angle stayed on a bird's eye view from start to finish, then no matter how exciting the match was, the broadcast would turn it into trash .
This time, the cameraman was clearly quite good . By switching between these three camera angles, plus the casting by the commentator and the guest, the intentions of both players became obvious .
Gao Jie was controlling Stellar Sword along a roundabout route to close in, preparing to catch Dancing Rain off guard .
But the experienced Su Mucheng clearly anticipated this . After observing the surrounding terrain, she controlled Su Mucheng to jump to a good sniping spot . This spot occupied the high grounds . If Stellar Sword wanted to get near, then he would have to expose him to Dancing Rain's heavy fire .
Happy Internet Cafe immediately started booing and laughing . Their laughing was naturally aimed at Gao Jie . He had originally wanted to mount a sneak attack, but now he would fall to Dancing Rain instead .
But Ye Xiu knew that there was no way it would be so simple . If Gao Jie really would fall from this ambush, then he would have wasted his home ground advantage .
Just as expected, Ye Xiu predicted correctly . After Gao Jie's Stellar Sword closed in, he didn't rashly rush forward . Instead, he took another detour and slipped his head out from a small alley to look around .
“This guy sneaking about really is so wretched . Just hurry up and die already . ” Chen Guo impatiently said .
Ye Xiu shook his head: “His current position is a blind spot . Su Mucheng's movements were within his calculations .
“Gao Jie's current position is a blind spot! No matter what sniping spot Su Mucheng chooses, none of them would have been able to see his position . It looks like all of Su Mucheng's movements are within his calculations!” In the broadcast, Li Yibo's voice also said this at just the right time . It was identical to what Ye Xiu said .
“It looks like 301's research on this map was very thorough . ” The commentator laughed .
“Naturally . ” Li Yibo said .
“How does Gao Jie know which sniping spot Su Mucheng is hiding at?” Chen Guo was startled when she said this because the commentator also asked the same question .
“Footprints . ” Ye Xiu and Li Yibo answered . Their answers were the same .
