Chapter 1676 A Narrow Escape

Whether or not they had gained much support online.

Whether or not many neutral Glory players were starting to lean towards Happy.

On this field, the support for Samsara would always be unparalleled. Because this was their home ground, because here they had the most die-hard fans, and they would never give up on their team's support, no matter what.

"Samsara is the champion!!!" Such shouts echoed throughout the stadium. Perhaps influenced by the events at the Cultural Plaza the day before, the Samsara fans in attendance today carefully used the word "Samsara" as the subject in their cheers.

Happy's supporters were unwilling to be outdone, but it was difficult to gain the upper hand in such a situation. Fortunately, after a whole season of baptism, the Happy fan group had experience in away games. In away games, because of the huge difference in numbers, it was impossible to overwhelm the opponent in volume. At this time, they had to make more use of things like banners to create visual impact, and this could not be concealed no matter what. But this had a big drawback, that was... the banners held high would block the view of the rows of spectators behind them.

This drawback greatly limited the use of banners. But today, Happy's fans seemed to have gone all out. Row after row of victory declarations were displayed in the away team's stands, densely packed like a forest. The entire away team's stand was only visible with banners, and almost no row, except for the spectators sitting in the very front, could escape being blocked.

Although the game had not officially started, the fact that they had prepared the banners so spectacularly showed that Happy's fans were aware of this game. Their voices did not echo in the stadium, but such a continuous stretch of banners had become the biggest highlight of the scene, and the TV broadcast even gave them many close-up shots.

Such a scene could not be created on the spot without preparation, no matter how many Samsara fans there were. Helpless, they had to produce a greater volume to counter Happy's visual impact.

Under the tense atmosphere, the two teams calmly completed the pre-match ceremony. After a simple handshake and greeting, they ushered in the biggest climax before the game.

Because this game was bound to determine the ownership of the championship, under the arrangement of the league, the total championship trophy, symbolizing supreme glory, made its debut in advance before the game. All the lights in the stadium suddenly dimmed at this moment. Before the audience could exclaim, the lights that lit up again all gathered towards the podium. The total championship trophy was already placed here at some point, but under the absolute concentration of light, at this moment, it was like the sun hanging in mid-air, emitting infinite light. Players, spectators, everyone's eyes were attracted at this moment.

The light then spread out, like sunshine illuminating everything, and the entire stadium returned to brightness in an instant. But people's eyes would not stop looking at the total championship trophy, filled with desire and expectation, everyone was.

"Damn, still pulling this gimmick." A professional player complained, seeming to disdain this scene, but no one responded. At the moment when the total championship trophy shined, no one on their side was unmoved. Whether they had won the championship or not.

This was a gimmick, but it was a gimmick that hit the nail on the head. Even the person who complained mostly contained unwillingness in their tone. For these people, this game, this kind of gimmick, was really abusive.

The game was about to officially begin, and the players of the two teams did not immediately return to their player seats, but gathered in front of their respective game seats, everyone looking at the electronic screen in the sky, the random map selection for the individual competition was about to begin.

As the electronic sound rang out on the scene, the random map selection officially began. After about five seconds of frantic picture flipping, it suddenly froze, and the electronic sound clearly and loudly announced the name of the map: Narrow Road Encounter.

"This map's name is really fitting!"

No one had any information about the playoff random map before the game. Even the host and guests of the TV broadcast only knew this map at this time, and the commentator naturally started with the map name.

Total championship, deciding game, narrow road encounter, there was really no more appropriate description than this, and now, the map that the two teams drew for the individual competition was such a name.

The live holographic projection and the electronic screen all began to simply present the situation and information of this map.

A narrow valley, slightly winding, but not complicated. The left and right sides were steep and towering mountain walls. Whether they could be climbed, except for the Assassin class with the equipment ninja blade, it was difficult for other classes to say. At this time, people would inevitably think of Lord Grim's versatility, but the mountain walls were extremely high. After climbing to the top, the attack on the bottom would be too far away to cause any threat. As for whether there were any ambush points on the mountain walls, it was not clear from such a fleeting introduction.

"This map doesn't seem to have anything particularly surprising, does it?" Pan Lin said immediately after watching the brief introduction. If it was just such a landform feature, there would definitely be many similar ones in the original map library. And this was specially made for the playoffs, if it just gave the canyon a few more twists and turns, it didn't seem to be anything new.

Just when everyone was wondering about this question, suddenly, shouts of killing came from the holographic projection's thumbnail map. People then saw that from both ends of the canyon, a team of men and horses were refreshed, and ambush soldiers were also refreshed on the mountain walls on both sides. Soon, the men and horses refreshed at both ends met in the center of the canyon and began to tear each other apart. As they were fighting fiercely, the ambush soldiers on the mountain walls launched an attack, and various rolling stones and logs fell. After a while, the two teams in the valley were completely wiped out.

Everyone was stunned.

What was this?

Could it be an intermission animation added to reflect the map name of Narrow Road Encounter? This was the finals, and the introduction of map information had to be done in a proper manner. How could such fancy things be allowed?

So, this was not an intermission animation to set the atmosphere, this was an event that would actually happen in this map.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't just making a fuss about the terrain, but also introducing events to interfere. No matter the outcome of this game, it was inevitable that this design would cause controversy after the game. But at the moment, in such a map with events and NPC interference, how the players would respond really aroused the curiosity of the audience.

However, currently, there was very little information about this interference. Was the occurrence of events completely random, or at a fixed time and point? Did it only happen once in a duel, or multiple times? From the perspective of attack, the two teams refreshed in the canyon and the ones on the cliff belonged to three forces, what kind of attitude would they have towards the player characters?

Too much information needed to be understood was not given in the pre-match introduction, and because of this ingenious setting, the acquisition of information was much more complicated than just observing the terrain features. The first, even the second player to take the field for both teams would probably need to do a lot of work in this area, so who would the two teams send out?

Everyone was curious. But Pan Lin and Li Yibo in the TV commentary were cautious, although they had some ideas in their minds, they didn't dare to speak easily, they were too afraid of being slapped in the face.

"Happy's choice to continue to have Ye Xiu start is a very suitable choice!" On the professional player side, everyone didn't have such scruples, and after discussion, they all recognized this guess. Such a complex situation was best handled by Ye Xiu, who was experienced and cunning, and it was best to obtain information at the same time. In such a battle full of unpredictable situations, his chances of winning would probably be greater.

"As for Samsara's side..." Everyone recognized that Happy sending Ye Xiu was the best choice, which was both logical and could continue the psychological pressure he created with his winning streak. On Samsara's side, they must have realized Happy's favorable choice like they did, so their choice of personnel must respond to this to a certain extent. On Samsara's side, who was more suitable?

Everyone was discussing, and on Samsara's side, Jiang Botao had already reported to the referee the player they were sending out to start. At the same time, Sun Xiang in their lineup had already started to walk towards the competition seat.
