LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 93
Chapter 92
Yu Zhaohan and Shi Du returned to the waiting room. The match in the loser’s bracket had just finished, and another Korean team ended the journey of the season ahead of schedule.
So far, most of the teams that have been eliminated are from the Eastern Division. Therefore, it is generally believed that the overall strength of the Eastern Division this year is not as good as that of the Western Division. If R.H loses to Lawman again today, this statement will be more solid. At that time, not only will the Chinese team lose face, but the entire Asian East region will be called the father of the European and American teams.
There were still ten minutes before the players would appear on the stage. The promotional videos of the two teams were played on the big screen, followed by the video of the pre-match trash talking.
Shi Du was fighting with Lawman’s short gun, and Umbra, a 20-year-old American boy, leaned back on a chair, in standard American bullying tune.
Umbra is a well-known bad mouth in the Western Division. Although Shi Du can also be eccentric when talking to people he hates, but compared with Umbra who likes to attack personally and talk about the other person’s appearance and beliefs, his younger brother is really very qualified.
For example, this season, Umbra first joked with the English accent of his Korean teammates in the post-match interview session, intentionally imitating the language of his Korean teammates, which angered a group of Korean fans; He was blocked by many girl fans; after winning the Beijing IPL last week, he threatened to play too clumsily in the IPL, and if Bi An could lose weight, maybe he could be more flexible.
It would have been cool to change someone with such a bad mouth, but Umbra is the number one short gun in the West. Lawman, who believes in personal strength first, spared no effort to protect his own short gun, which made Umbra even more confident.
Facing a handsome guy like Timeless who can unify the aesthetics of the East and the West, Umbra can’t use his appearance to attack, and the damage is at least half, so he chooses to talk about his body.
Umbra: “I haven’t paid much attention to R.H’s players. In my impression, they are all very thin. Could it be that they don’t have enough to eat at the base. God bless their physical strength to last a few more games.”
Shi Du: “It doesn’t matter if your eyes are bad, the key is not to be blind—in the later stage, please put a photo of our little nanny here.”
Jiang Di’s makeup photo appeared on the big screen, with a mighty body and huge muscles, it looked as big as two Umbras.
Umbra: “Yeah, I haven’t seen Timeless for a year. Last year we met in the finals, do you remember? I won the championship in front of you.”
Shi Du: “I don’t remember, were you in last year’s finals? Excuse me, what hero did you use?”
Umbra: “…”
Umbra: I heard from my Chinese teammate that Chinese teams like to go to the mountains to pray to Buddha before games. It seems that Asian teams are superstitious. You are not strong enough, so you can only rely on the external force of superstition? Honestly, I’m kind of scared of your stuff. “
Shi Du: “Ah, yes, yes, I can tell fortunes. Counting with my fingers—huh? Are you going to retire this year?”
Umbra: “I will not retire!”
Shi Du: “That proves that superstition is unreliable. What are you afraid of?”
Cheese was so **** off by Umbra, he couldn’t wait to get into the screen and fight with him: “Timeless, why don’t you talk about his hair volume? He looks like an idiot, and he is bald like others!”
Yu Zhaohan said: “There is no need to lower your quality in order to fight back.”
“But we, Timeless, don’t have much quality!”
Yu Zhaohan: …It seems so.
“You will be fined for appearance attacks.” Shi Du sighed quietly, “I just bought a house, so I need to save some money.”
Cheese said proudly: “Next time you scold directly, I will pay the fine for you!”
Yu Zhaohan said: “Sit down, it’s not your turn.”
Cheese sat back: “Oh.”
Lao Tan sweated for Shi Du: “Umbra is Lawman’s big baby. As long as his condition doesn’t decline, he can still play for at least two or three years. You said he is going to retire, isn’t he afraid of being slapped in the face?”
Shi Du shrugged: “As long as Umbra hits his hips, he will definitely be backlashed by his previous flirtatious maneuvers. At that time, even Lawman won’t protect him.”
Old Tan couldn’t help asking: “Are you so confident that you can win against Lawman?”
Shi Du still said the same thing: “Admit half of the defeat.”
The staff notifies them to come on stage. Yu Zhaohan looked around, glanced at every teammate, then turned around and walked in the front: “Follow.”
With the debut of the eight starters, the makeup photos and basic information of each player appeared on the big screen.
Lawman:
Tank Gunner [USA]
Short Gun Umbra [USA]
Lance Tide [China]
Auxiliary Paradox [Korea]
R.H.:
Tank Boulder[China]
Short Gun Timeless[China]
Lance Shine [China]
Auxiliary Cheese[China]
As soon as the starting list came out, it was equivalent to R.H revealing an important message to everyone. R.H will only play in the fast-paced system, and starting Cheese proves that they want to play operations.
There are two American commentators on the scene, and the domestic live broadcast room has its own commentary. The commentary began to analyze the reasons why R.H insisted on playing operations.
Commentary A: “The last time IPL played against Lawman was also operation. In the end, I lost 4:1. The game I won was not based on the energy operation, but on the other side’s personal performance.”
Commentary B: “Many players feel that the operation system is a version trap, and the operation loses one game. Let me tell you here, it is not the system that has the trap, but the IPL that has not brought out the advantages of operation. I believe that today’s R.H can justify the name of the operating system.”
Commentary A: “Actually, for R.H, it is not necessary to fight with Lawman. Even if it is a point-to-point matchup, R.H does not have to be afraid of Lawman…”
Yu Zhaohan sat down in his seat and looked to the other side of the stage.
The four opponents were exactly the same as last year, the familiar American commentator, and the cheering Western faces seemed to be the same group as last year.
Shi Du expressed his thoughts on the voice channel: “This scene is similar to last season.
Yu Zhaohan thought of Wings who was sitting next to him last year, he was already a father.
“The people around me are different,” he said.
Cheese said: “The boss behind him is different!”
Shi Du looked at the screen, the corners of his mouth curled up: “So the result will be different.”
The first map was randomly assigned to a relatively closed indoor map. This kind of map is not suitable for the play of spears, and the pressure came to the assassins on both sides.
The game officially started, and eight people were born at both ends of the completely symmetrical map. Yu Zhaohan gave up the use of long spears, and took out the virus and Shidu’s ninja double short spear system.
Yu Zhaohan said: “Timeless is harassing the back row, I’ll go find Chao Chao…”
Before he finished speaking, Cheese exclaimed, “Damn!”
[Lawman.Tide killed R.H.Cheese]
Tide’s archer hid behind a bunker and shot Cheese’s head off with an arrow.
Shitou said anxiously: “I raised my shield, why don’t you stand behind my shield?”
Cheese: “I’m standing behind your shield, but Tide stole the gun from the side!”
It’s easy to destroy the mentality if the nanny pays a blood so quickly. Once the nanny dies, they cut off their supply line, and there may be hope for an average team, but it is almost impossible for a really strong team to lose a team battle in a four-on-three situation.
Shi Du asked, “Retreat?”
Yu Zhaohan: “The stone is withdrawn, and Timeless and I will look for opportunities to steal damage.”
You can lose a wave of team battles with an operational lineup, but you must win key team battles. The primary goal of double C is to accumulate energy, save big moves, and let the “key team battle” come as soon as possible.
Lawman won the first wave of team battles and successfully captured the target point A. R.H only shoots and does not attack outside the target point, mainly focusing on rubbing damage to generate energy. When Lawman occupied 30% of the progress, R.H’s double C had already used his ultimate move.
Yu Zhaohan’s big move can silence enemies within a certain range, so that they can’t use any skills. Combined with the burst damage of Shi Du’s big move, it can play a basic big move.
Lawman’s command is the tank Gunner. As a commander, calculating the enemy’s energy is a basic skill.
Gunner: “Shine’s energy should be around 80% now, and the formation will be dispersed after ten seconds. You can’t be silenced by him four times.”
Tide said in a deep voice: “Not only.”
Gunner: “What?”
Tidal: “His energy is more than 80%, spread out! Spread out now!”
Cunner, who was questioned about his basic skills, became furious: “There can only be one commander in the team, Tide!”
Chao Chao shouted: “Nurse come with me!”
Paradox usually obeys the advice of the two American teammates, how dare they listen to Tide at this time.
Paradox: “Even Umbra’s virus ult can’t come so fast, you think too much, Tide.”
Tidal cursed under his breath in his native language, and jumped out of the target point alone, away from the three teammates.
Just as he landed in a safe position, the invisible Yu Zhaohan appeared in the target point and released the big move [collective invasion], and the three Lawman skills were all black!
Paradox was stunned: “Shine is a long spear player, why is it so scary to shoot short spears?”
Tide gritted his teeth and said, “Because he is Shine, a former top free agent.”
Shi Du, who was using his ultimate move, flashed into the target point from the side, and the dragon blade was unsheathed, pointing directly at Umbra, who is also an assassin.
Umbra couldn’t hand over any skills, so he could only retreat desperately: “Hold me, I can fight back!”
Paradox said weakly: “I’m gone…”
【R.H.Shine killed Lawman. Paradox】
[R.H.Timeless killed Lawman.Umbra]
[R.H.Timeless killed Lawman.Gunner]
Chao Chao knew that he could not defend the target point A by himself, so he retreated decisively, but was caught up by the R.H double C who had just slaughtered a round. Yu Zhaohan didn’t even shoot, he just punched him to finish him off.
【R.H.Shine killed Lawman.Tide】
The Lawman group is destroyed, and R.H occupies the target point A.
Umbra yelled “F.u.c.k”.
Gunner snapped Umbra to shut up: “Tide, have you ever seen Shine play with a short gun?”
Tide held his breath: “Yes, I sincerely recommend that you increase the estimate of Shine’s recharge speed by 20%.”
Gunner clacked his fingers in the last few seconds of waiting for his resurrection: “Shine…good.”
After Yu Zhaohan and Shi Du finished using their big moves, their energy cleared to zero. In the next wave of team battles, they will rely on the big moves of Cheese and Stone to fight. However, before the team battle started, Umbra hit a beautiful star ball, found the position of Cheese and succeeded in a solo kill.
Cheese: “Ah, it’s me again! I burst into tears—”
Yu Zhaohan: “Withdraw.”
R.H had to give up the target point first, and continued to wait for the arrival of the key team battle. But this time Lawman was obviously paying attention. The nanny held the big move of collective defense and refused to hand it in. She hid in a secret corner and immediately used the big move after her teammates were collectively silenced by the virus.
Shi Du drew his knife and hacked for a long time without killing anyone, and said, “Paradox’s big move is good.”
Yu Zhaohan’s heart sank.
Lawman took over R.H’s key team battle, and R.H fell into an operational disadvantage.
At the end of the first map, Lawman led 1:0, and the two domestic commentators felt very sorry.
Commentary B: “It’s a pity! R.H’s initial operation was obviously very good, but their support was targeted too hard, and the energy cycle was obviously messed up later.”
Commentary A: “Once there is a mistake in the operation lineup, it will be a big explosion in operation, which will affect not only the first wave of team battles, but also the next few waves. I really suggest that R.H consider the same as Lawman, don’t care about the operation, just Fight them head-on!”
During the intermission, the players cannot step down, but the coach can join the team voice.
Cheese was targeted a bit miserably: “As far as Lawman’s fire concentration efficiency is concerned, I really can’t survive without protection.”
Shi Du: “If I protect you, the damage to the back row won’t be enough.”
Although the virus is positioned as a C position, it is a tool C position. Even Yu Zhaohan cannot use the virus to deal high damage, and must rely on Shidu as the main output position.
If it can be transmigrated into the game, Lu Youshan will use his body to block bullets for Cheese without hesitation: “It’s okay, we will fight with them in the next map! Shine, you know what I mean!”
Yu Zhaohan: “Well, change.”
R.H.Jiang replaced R.H.Cheese
In the second round, the loser chooses a map. R.H chose the new map [Sunset Boulevard] according to the idea, and started fancy work.
Lawman must have practiced the new map, but they don’t have a talented coach like Lu Youshan. Lu Youshan thoroughly researched the new map, and the four of R.H lived up to his expectations and made the best use of the terrain.
For example, hulking tanks drop from the sky from unexpected corners, four at a time.
For example, the nanny who was supposed to be weak and unable to take care of herself actually walked at the front of the team, making the two enemies jealous. They chased, but Jiang Di fled.
Jiang Di fled to the middle of the road, and they chased him to the middle of the road, where they were hit to death by an approaching car.
For another example, Yu Zhaohan’s western cowboy hid at Lawman’s resurrection point. When Paradox and Tidal had just been revived and had no defense at all, a flash bomb stunned him and scored a double kill.
This round ended very happily, the effect of the program was full, and the score came to 1:1.
In the third game, Lawman deliberately chose a map suitable for the operation system, and R.H did operate it, and then the operation failed due to a mistake, and the score came to 2:1.
Not long after Lawman was happy, he was tied by R.H in the next game.
R.H and Lawman seem to have agreed that if one side wins a game, the map chosen by themselves will win, and the map chosen by the other side will lose. After five innings, Lawman led 3:2 and got the match point first.
Shitou was so nervous that his palms were sweating: “Captain, coach, we, shall we still play operations?”
Lu Youshan, who was so anxious about lack of oxygen, took the oxygen inhaler handed over by Lao Tan, took a deep breath, and said, “Theoretically speaking, operation is the best solution to fight Lawman!”
Shi Du was noncommittal: “You’re talking about theory. No matter what lineup you play, the result of winning is the most important thing.”
“Choose a map that belongs to me.” Yu Zhaohan slowly opened his lips, “You protect me, and I will lead you to win.”
Shi Du laughed: “Thanks, Captain.”
In the sixth game, R.H chose an outdoor map with a wide field of view and suitable for long guns.
Seeing Shine and Tide take out the black swan at the same time, there was an overwhelming scream at the scene.
The commentator was also very excited: “Here we come, we finally come! The sniper kings in the East and West are duel!”
“Come on, bring me my quick-acting heart-rescuing pill!”
The director also thoughtfully gave a comparison of the data when the two used the black swan. From the comparative data, it can be seen that Shine and Tide’s hit rate and headshot rate are almost the same, ranking first in their respective competition areas.
The double-sniper matchup that all audiences are most looking forward to, the fight between gods and gods is finally coming.
【Competition countdown: 5, 4, 3…】
Chao Chao took several deep breaths, walked out of the resurrection point with a sniper rifle on his shoulder, and walked away with his teammates as usual.
He knew Yu Zhaohan well, and Yu Zhaohan would definitely find a hidden place to set up a sniper rifle. A frontal teamfight broke out, but it had nothing to do with him, his task was to mark Shine.
Three headshots sounded one after another.
【R.H.Shine killed Lawman. Paradox】
[R.H.Shine killed Lawman.Umbra]
[R.H.Shine killed Lawman.Gunner]
TrIPLekill and Yu Zhaohan were recorded.
Gunner’s angry voice almost pierced through the earphones: “Damn it, Shine didn’t hide at all!”
Yu Zhaohan was aboveboard, undisguisedly sniping behind his teammate’s shield, and shot after shot, completely shattering Lawman’s back row.
Except for the tank’s kill with assists, the other two squishies were all Yu Zhaohan’s solo kills.
After the three of Lawman were revived, Chao Chao finally found a chance, aimed at Yu Zhaohan, and was about to shoot—
【R.H.Shine killed Lawman.Tide】
The audience and commentators were completely insane about Shine.
“Tide can kill through the Western Division, so why is it that it’s a matchup with Shine?”
“Your captain will always be your captain—this is blood suppression!”
Gunner yelled: “Tide, don’t confront Shine, go aim at someone else!”
Tidal’s lips trembled: “No, if I ignore Shine, he will kill me first, and then kill others…”
Gunner was hysterical: “Then you change the hero! Don’t mirror him! We must completely block Shine, no matter what the price is!”
Umbra: “Fuck, you put it simply, Timeless and Jiang are protecting him!”
Paradox: “Couldn’t it be a violent nanny? Why did he go to protect her?!”
Tide was forced to switch to archers. Although the archer’s damage is not as good as that of the black swan, he has an advantage in the mechanism, but Yu Zhaohan’s black swan has long been practiced to the point where he can ignore the mechanism.
Jiang Di was surprised when he saw that Chao Chao had changed his hero again, “He changed…a virus?”
Shi Du: “Captain is awesome if you can force Tide to choose an assassin to restrain him.”
Stone: “What do you mean? Why did Tidal choose virus?”
Yu Zhaohan: “Because Lawman has to run the operation by himself.”
Tidal’s virus is far inferior to his spear hero, charging extremely slowly, and after a round, he finally managed to save a big move. He drove stealth, looking for opportunities to release his ultimate move behind the R.H formation.
Yu Zhaohan captured everything keenly: “Tide should be hiding near us, let’s see if we can beat him out.”
After speaking, he casually fired a shot in the air, almost at the height of the virus’s head.
Ding—Tidal died instantly with his big move.
Now even Shi Du was shocked: “How did this gun do it?”
Yu Zhaohan smiled slightly: “Luck.”
But the audience didn’t think it was luck, it was God’s **** hand!
Even in Europe’s home stadium, Shine’s name can still be heard throughout the stadium.
“Shine, Shine, Shine—”
“I’ve lived my whole life for Shine!”
“Marry me ah ah Shine!”
Relying on a sniper rifle and the protection of his teammates, Yu Zhaohan brought the score to 3:3.
R.H became the only team to push Lawman into a corner this season. A team that is good at quick firefights, just to restrain Shine alone, actually came up with an operation system that they sneered at. This alone is enough for them to be ridiculed on the Internet and the Internet for at least a year.
The seventh inning, the tiebreaker. Lawman would rather not use a sniper himself than give Yu Zhaohan the chance to use a sniper. They chose another narrow indoor map—the biochemical laboratory.
Cheese replaced Jiang Di.
The biggest feature of this map is that there is a huge mixer in the laboratory, and the green poisonous juice is boiling. Once you fall into it, you will definitely die.
When preliminarily selecting the lineup, Lu Youshan struggled: “Theoretically speaking, this map must be better with a virus system, but…”
Yu Zhaohan interrupted him: “I fight the virus.”
Shitou wiped his sweat with his arm: “Captain, we have lost all the operations maps.”
Cheese didn’t have much confidence: “Could it be some kind of curse?”
Yu Zhaohan said: “No.”
Shi Du was silent for two seconds, and said, “I don’t really believe in the virus as a hero, the fault tolerance rate is too low.”
At this time, the most taboo is instability of military morale.
Yu Zhao said coldly: “Timeless—”
“But I trust you.” Shi Du said, “Cheese, Stone, do you trust the captain?”
Cheese and Stone shouted almost hoarsely: “Believe it!”
The field of view of the biochemical laboratory is really limited, Lawman also replaced the tide, and their substitute short guns played double short guns—a ninja and a gladiator, both heroes who rely on skills to fight Combo (combinations), were silenced by the virus You can use normal attacks, and you won’t die in seconds.
R.H took down the target point A in one go, and Yu Zhaohan’s virus flew the audience.
When attacking the target point B, Umbra hit a personal star ball, opened up and scored three kills, occupying point B.
After the triple kill, Umbra taunted on the public screen: [You guys are running away]
This duel came to the match point in the match point—the last target point on the seventh map. Up to now, the game has lasted for three full hours, and the players’ concentration and physical fitness are facing severe tests.
In a critical team battle, Shi Du exchanged one for one in a one-on-two situation and single-handedly killed Umbra; Gunner, led by the nanny, took the heads of Cheese and Stone in the melee, and R.H only had the invisible Yu Zhaohan survived.
Lawman’s occupation of point C has reached a very dangerous value:
87%, 88%, 89%…
At this time, Paradox surrendered his resurrection skills and pulled Umbra up.
At this moment, Yu Zhaohan seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.
How to do.
He was alone, and Lawman was all four. He only has one functional, non-damaging ult. He doesn’t have any nanny’s supplies, so how can he fight four?
What to do, are they going to lose to Lawman again?
My boyfriend said so much trash talk before the game, his face will be swollen if he loses, will he not be arrogant again in the future?
Oops, he seems to be about to cry, his eyes are watery, he can’t take it anymore… If he really cried, everyone would laugh to death.
No, he doesn’t want to lose, he can’t lose.
He wants to defend, not with a black swan, but with a tool-man virus.
He will wait until the time comes when he will be resurrected and return.
Yu Zhaohan suddenly said, “I’ll go see it off.”
Shi Shi was startled: “Captain?”
Yu Zhaohan’s voice was trembling, but the hand holding the mouse was still calm: “Shi Du, if I kill the tank and the support on the opposite side, can you take care of the remaining two C positions—you fight two with one person, There’s no one to help you.”
Yu Zhaohan rarely called Shi Du’s name in games.
Shi Du understood Yu Zhaohan’s meaning in an instant. He said firmly, without any hesitation: “Yes.”
Occupy progress 92%, 93%…
Yu Zhaohan took the initiative to release the invisible state beside the blender, and the Gunner and Paradox closest to him immediately rushed over like hungry wolves.
Gunner plays a hero who can jump in the air, and Paradox leads him to fly. Just as they passed above the blender, Yu Zhaohan took off and released his silent big move—this was also Yu Zhaohan’s last displacement skill, and he couldn’t jump back.
The silenced Gunner and Paradox fell from mid-air, plopping into the blender, followed by Shine’s fall.
【R.H.Shine killed Lawman. Paradox】
[R.H.Shine killed Lawman.Gunner]
[R.H.Shine killed R.H.Shine]
Cheese finally understood, and shouted: “Captain…”
Shi Du was resurrected.
Seeing that he was about to take out the female assassin, Yu Zhaohan said, “Change to another hero.”
Shi Du: “Huh?”
Yu Zhaohan: “You’ve been with me for so long, you should have learned a little.”
Lawman, who was fully equipped with four people, lost half of his combat power in an instant, but fortunately Shine was also dead. The four of R.H had a fault in the time of death. They died one by one, and naturally they were resurrected one by one. Only one person can come back at a time. Lawman has both Cs, and there is no reason to lose in two-on-one.
Gunner said: “Timeless will definitely return with the fastest female assassin, keep an eye on the flanks!”
Occupy progress 95%, 96%…
Umbra wondered, “Where are the Timeless people?”
Ding—Ding—
The elegant and beautiful sniper quietly appeared behind Lawman’s double C’s and fired a total of four shots, only two headshots.
The headshot rate of such a hip is obviously not R.H.Shine.
The ID on the top of the black swan’s blood bar displayed impressively: R.H.Timeless.
Gunner cursed: “Timeless changed the sniper! Fuck!”
No one in Lawman expected that Timeless would bring out a sniper on this kind of map, and they didn’t even mark where the sniper might appear—this was the first time in Timeless’ career that he brought out a sniper in an official game.
Lawman was wiped out again, and Shi Du’s black swan came to the target point alone on high heels.
Shi Du said helplessly, “The hit rate is a bit low.”
“Indeed,” Yu Zhaohan smiled, “but enough.”
Target point C is captured by R.H, occupation progress: 98%, 99%, 100%—
【Victory】
The moment the sound of victory sounded, Yu Zhaohan took off his earphones, screamed, and embraced his teammates and his boyfriend.
—His boyfriend who fired four shots and only hit two shots.
