Chapter 1 Xingxin, Samsara

Xingxin, a new professional team that fought its way out of the Challenger League, and Samsara, a top powerhouse that had won two consecutive championships. At the beginning of the season, probably no one would have thought that these two teams would become opponents, and the result of the opening match just illustrated this point. Xingxin, with a score of 0 to 10, a loss that could not be more complete, was defeated by Samsara. They began their journey with stumbles and falls.

After that, Xingxin became more and more terrifying. Starting from the ninth round, they never lost again, tearing and killing all the way to the present, and even had a record that could be compared with Samsara.

Six 10 to 0.

Although there was a gap of as many as 34 points between the two sides on the standings, from the ninth round to the seventeenth round, these nine rounds of matches, Xingxin's scoring efficiency was even higher than Samsara's.

Xingxin has fully entered the state!

Everyone thought so. After all, this was a new team. When they first entered the league, there would always be a stage to adapt. The start was relatively unstable, which seemed very logical. After going through that difficult adaptation and running-in period, Xingxin finally soared into the sky.

The problems that the outside world had initially sorted out for Xingxin can now be seen clearly dealt with.

Fang Rui's professional transition, after walking out of his own path, the Wretched Qi Master style has become more and more handy.

The existence of the unfamiliar class, the Unspecialized, the Xingxin players have also adapted very well, much faster than people imagined. From the beginning, people seemed to ignore Xingxin's inclusiveness in adapting to a new class.

Tang Rou, Baozi, and Luo Ji, these rookies don't need to be mentioned at all. When they first came into contact with Glory, this class quickly appeared around them. Perhaps in their understanding, Glory was originally 25 classes instead of 24, and there was an Unspecialized among them. From the beginning, they had no adaptation obstacles.

Su Mucheng, as a professional player, had not seen such a freak as the Unspecialized for many years and indeed needed to re-understand and recognize it. However, as a tacit player who understood Ye Xiu's heart, letting her adapt to Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was undoubtedly more advantageous than anyone else.

Fang Rui, of course, did not have the same tacit understanding with Ye Xiu as Su Mucheng, but Fang Rui happened to be in transition, and he himself was also suitable for the new class. In the process of breaking down and then establishing himself, he took the opportunity to establish Lord Grim in his new class's cooperative system, which was also faster to build than ordinary players.

Similarly, when Qiao Yifan began to come into contact with it, it happened to be the period of professional transition, and he also had the same construction method as Fang Rui.

Wei Chen had more than ten years of Glory experience, An Wenyi was a healer who had always been an observer, so he became familiar with it quickly. Mo Fan, on the other hand, was someone who had no idea what cooperation was before. For him, it was another way of breaking down and then establishing a running-in method.

All the members of the Xingxin team, coincidentally, had such and such advantages in the process of running-in with the Unspecialized. So, after continuous training and continuous accumulation of matches, they took shape very quickly, and the Xingxin team played more and more smoothly.

However, one point cannot be ignored. Xingxin's schedule at the beginning of the season was also quite devilish. Samsara, Tyranny, Blue Rain, and Tiny Herb, the four powerhouses gathered in the first eight rounds, and their results were suppressed, also for this reason.

In any case, today's Xingxin is the most outstanding team in the past nine rounds, ranking fifth in the standings, and aiming for the playoffs... a strong team.

Yes, a strong team...

A team with three All-Star level players.

A team that is in fifth place in the standings.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a strong team, and no one will find it difficult to accept.

Since they are a strong team, they have the qualification to challenge Samsara.

But... on this All-Star arena? In this recreational competition? Xingxin claims to end Samsara's winning streak?

Is this a joke?

Who cares about the results here?

Laughter broke out in the audience, completely disregarding Wei Chen's serious speech.

Considering Ye Xiu's presence in Xingxin, the home fans would certainly not have any good feelings for Xingxin. Amidst the laughter, there was a lot of booing for Wei Chen.

"Hehe, it seems that the audience is already feeling the pressure for the three members of Samsara," Wei Chen said.

The booing was even louder.

"They seem very nervous!" Baozi said doubtfully, "Isn't this Tyranny's home stadium? Why are they afraid for Samsara?"

Is this fear?

Tyranny fans went crazy. As expected, those who are with Ye Xiu are not good people. Are they provoking them?

The booing immediately drowned out the host's voice completely.

"Take them down!!" Someone even shouted.

"Thank you!" Baozi waved his hand in the direction of the voice, "Don't worry, we will definitely do it!"

"Damn, I mean take you down!!!" Tyranny fans were anxious, but at this time, looking at each other from afar, how could they explain this clearly?

The host didn't plan to let them play here all the time, and immediately started interviewing the next person.

"Do you want to decide the winner here?" Samsara's Jiang Botao leaned beside the three members of Xingxin and chatted with them.

"Scared?" Wei Chen gave a condescending look.

"Hehehe." Jiang Botao smiled without saying a word. Wu Qi and Du Ming beside him also stepped forward without backing down. Although it was the All-Star arena, although it was just a recreational competition, if someone was willing to play for real, they would not back down. Samsara is the champion, not something that others can easily take as they please. Wei Chen's attitude was extremely unpleasant to both of them.

"Don't worry." Wei Chen looked at the two of them, "We'll see in a while."

Wei Chen revealed extraordinary confidence, which the three members of Samsara saw in their eyes, but they were a little puzzled. The recreational competitions were all brand new things that had been developed, and they had certainly not been shown before the All-Star Weekend. Everyone had not been in contact with them, so where did the other party's belief in victory come from?

Could it be that there is something similar in the game, and this guy is a master in this field?

The three were speculating in their hearts. Professional players are becoming more and more unfamiliar with the game. Glory has become more and more just a pure fighting game for them. Is there really something similar in the game? The three really weren't sure.

There was indeed a bit of gunpowder between Xingxin and Samsara, which undoubtedly made the people watching the show very excited. No one would dislike having too many highlights. After the host interviewed the next few people one by one, he immediately announced the start of hot-blooded dodgeball. According to the order drawn, Tiny Herb and the lucky audience team went first. The commentators on the TV broadcast were already introducing the gameplay in detail with the information in hand so that the audience could watch it better. As for the hosts on the scene, their introduction also had the important task of explaining the game to the players and audience participating in the game.

The rules are actually as simple as the sandbag game that children usually play. In a closed and fixed field, one side attacks with a sandbag, and the other side defends. If the sandbag touches a part of the body, the character needs to leave the field, but if the defending side catches the sandbag, they can increase the number of times they can be hit by one. If a player's character has already left the field, catching the sandbag can also bring the leaving character back to the field.

As for how to operate the sandbag?

Tiny Herb and the lucky audience team, who had already entered the competition seats, found that their characters had two more skills after loading the game: throwing sandbags and catching sandbags. After each person tried it out slightly, they quickly mastered how to use them.

The match officially began, with Tiny Herb attacking first and the lucky audience team defending. Being eliminated by a sandbag hit is equivalent to a one-hit kill. If it is regarded as a battle, it will undoubtedly greatly shorten the time of the duel. So, in just over a minute, all three members of the lucky audience team were cleared out of the field, and the audience could see that the Tiny Herb team had reserved their strength and were not too cruel.

Then it was the lucky audience team's turn to attack and Tiny Herb to defend. As a result, the three members of the Tiny Herb team did not go to catch the sandbag, but just dodged. After persisting for the time of the previous round, they casually let the other party hit them, which was considered to be a conclusion. Because of the huge difference in Glory level, everyone could see that if the professional players were serious in this game, the lucky audience team's attack would probably never end.

Tiny Herb won, and the others also understood the way to play this game better.

Next was the duel between the two lucky audience teams. With similar levels, this duel was much more lively than the one-sided game in the previous round. With laughter, these two teams also decided the winner after two rounds.

Then, it was Xingxin's duel against Samsara. By drawing lots, Samsara drew to attack, so Xingxin was on the defensive side.

After watching the duels of the first four teams, these players who were going on stage again, of course, had a lot of ideas and thoughts about how to play this game. The characters entered the map, and the three attacking Samsara characters stood at the three vertices of an equilateral triangle, while the three Xingxin characters were in the center of the triangle. The position was just the initial spawn, and after the start, the movement and positioning would not be restricted in any way. In the previous two duels between the lucky audience teams, the six people ran around in a mess, and the audience was not familiar with their characters. In fact, even they themselves were not familiar with them. The joke of mistaking the enemy for a friend or mistaking a friend for an enemy appeared more than once after the mess.

Such a joke probably wouldn't appear between two professional teams.

The match began, and it was noted who had the sandbag initially. At this time, it was displayed in Du Ming's Swordsman, Wu Shuang Gou Yue's hands.

However, the sandbag was not thrown out just like that. Instead, a sword light flashed out. Du Ming actually used Wu Shuang Gou Yue's Triple Slash to open the way and directly kill him.

These recreational competitive games in the All-Star Weekend never prohibit anything in the game itself, so as long as there is this kind of confrontation, killing is always one of the direct means to win. But the problem is, at this time, if a sandbag is thrown, the character will be eliminated from the game. On the other hand, if you kill, you have to calculate the damage and life, which is obviously more troublesome.

No one would think that Du Ming went there for the purpose of killing. Triple Slash was just to close the distance. The closer the distance, the easier it is to hit the target with the sandbag. This is a very simple principle.
