Chapter 163 You Will Die

Yu Wenzhou had been playing for so many years, and his APM was a statistic that was technically recorded. Yu Wenzhou's APM wasn't a secret. Anyone who wanted to know could easily find out. As his opponents, they naturally couldn't have failed to pay attention to this data. Ye Xiu's question was clearly mockery.

Two hundred APM was generally considered the dividing line between professional and amateur. Of course, this two hundred APM referred to effective actions, not just spamming random actions to boost the number.

Yu Wenzhou was considered "handicapped," which was of course a standard set by the pro scene. Nowadays, pro players casually burst out with an average APM of three or four hundred as a regular thing. Yu Wenzhou could only barely reach 200 with great effort, and his normal state was below 200, so it was no wonder he was initially considered to have no future. Compared to the monsters of APM in the pro scene, he was too different.

But for ordinary players, they really had no right to laugh.

Ordinary players' effective APM generally floated around 100. Above 120, approaching 200, that was a skilled player. Glory was a very complex game. There were many fast hands, but very few people could reasonably utilize their APM in this game.

Yu Wenzhou's APM was normally around 200. In other words, his APM was at the level of a skilled player. But with this level, he became a professional player, a member of the Golden Generation, an All-Star player, a tactical master, the captain of the powerhouse Blue Rain…

Yu Wenzhou's story was inspiring. His deeds allowed many players who also didn't have much talent in APM to use this as proof that they could achieve something. It had to be said that this was a deep misunderstanding. They happily found something in common with a God, but it was only a flaw. A flaw in itself didn't explain anything. What allowed Yu Wenzhou to reach such heights wasn't his flaw in the slightest, but rather the efforts he made in other aspects to compensate for his flaw, and the talent he demonstrated.

There were many, many Glory players with this kind of APM.

But among these many people, only one Yu Wenzhou emerged.

And now, Yu Wenzhou was doing something he hadn't done in so many years.

A one-on-one, and in the playoffs, and against the sharpest one-on-one player this season.

"Huh… this map…" After saying a few words when entering the match, Ye Xiu finally noticed the map Blue Rain chose for this individual competition.

Jungle Mist.

A forest map, with a relatively simple terrain, long and narrow from north to south. Compared to a normal forest, the other characteristic of this map was reflected in its name: mist.

Dense trees, and layers of twilight mist; this was a map with extremely limited visibility. Suitable for ambushes, and not for utilizing ranged classes. As early as when Ye Xiu was mocking Yu Wenzhou's APM, the commentators Pan Lin and Li Yibo, and countless viewers, had already begun to murmur.

Yu Wenzhou wanted to do a one-on-one; everyone was surprised. But they immediately realized that he definitely wouldn't want to face his opponent head-on and compete in mechanics. He definitely wanted to use the terrain to play tactics and tricks. But Jungle Mist? The broadcast's Li Yibo had already pointed out that this map was unfavorable for ranged classes. The Warlock was of course counted among the ranged classes.

What was Yu Wenzhou up to? After seeing Blue Rain's map selection, everyone was even more confused. At this moment, everyone saw that Ye Xiu seemed to want to comment on the map selection.

As a result, after "Huh… this map…" there was actually no follow-up!

The two sides had already begun to move. Ye Xiu was straightforward, directly cutting to the middle. But on this map, even walking through the middle could turn into an ambush. Because the visibility was low, on this map, when the two sides visually detected their opponent, they had basically already entered attack range. Looking at Lord Grim's stance, it was like he was too lazy to put in any effort to take a detour.

On Yu Wenzhou's side, his attitude was much more serious. Swoksaar spawned at the north end of the map. While Ye Xiu was still speaking on the screen, he had already begun to circle south from the west side of the jungle. But it could be seen that Swoksaar's angle of deviation wasn't large. This map, if the distance was too great, it would be impossible to find the target for an ambush.

However, this was only the initial situation. The more Swoksaar moved south, the greater the west deviation became. Gradually, the distance it created from the central axis seemed to have already gone beyond the visible range on this map.

"Moving like this… wouldn't Yu Wenzhou also be unable to find Lord Grim? Could it be that he's predicting that Ye Xiu would also have Lord Grim circle from the west?" Pan Lin said.

"The problem is, Ye Xiu didn't…" Li Yibo said.

Before long, both characters began to approach the center of the map. The speed of their advance slowed down slightly, and then, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim suddenly opened fire.

Bang bang!

Bang bang!

The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's gun form was an assault rifle. Normal attacks could only be two-shot bursts. Ye Xiu was only using normal shots at this time, not consuming any mana, shooting one shot at a time, seemingly randomly.

"Actively exposing himself!" Pan Lin said. From Yu Wenzhou's perspective, he couldn't see Lord Grim's figure, but whenever the sound of gunfire rang out, the flames that burst forth once again pierced through the layers of mist.

"Is he trying to lure Yu Wenzhou to attack, and then find the location of Swoksaar?" Li Yibo said, "But…"

He wanted to say that the Warlock's skills had a certain degree of concealment in this environment. This was because the light and shadows of the Warlock's skills were dark in tone, far less dazzling than the light and fire of the Elementalist. If a Warlock's skill had elemental damage, it would only be one element: Dark.

But Li Yibo was afraid that Ye Xiu was experienced and had sharp eyes, and could even see the light and shadows of the Warlock's skills in this environment, so he didn't dare to say this.

What about Yu Wenzhou? It was unknown if he had thought of the same thing as Li Yibo. Seeing Ye Xiu so clearly exposing Lord Grim's position, he didn't rush to attack, but instead had Swoksaar slowly approach.

Lord Grim continued to shoot randomly, not limited to one direction. Several times, the bullets flew towards the west, brushing past Swoksaar's body. The spectators in the God perspective felt nervous, but Swoksaar remained unmoved.

"His judgement is too clear," Li Yibo praised.

Yu Wenzhou was able to let Swoksaar remain motionless because his judgement was impeccable. If it was a normal person who couldn't be sure, in this ambiguous situation, they would still have their character dodge.

"What is the range of visibility at this angle?" Pan Lin muttered, but there was no data for this. Even with the God perspective, they couldn't come up with anything.

Bang bang, bang bang.

Lord Grim continued to shoot. Swoksaar stopped his advance at this time, and Yu Wenzhou carefully observed the gunfire shot by Lord Grim.

The audience could see more clearly than Swoksaar. Seeing Ye Xiu's actions with Lord Grim, everyone only had one feeling: Too cunning!

Lord Grim, holding the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in its gun form, but the muzzle was facing backwards. In other words, every time he shot, he was shooting backwards…

Yu Wenzhou was observing so carefully at this time. If he didn't see this point, and waited for the muzzle to turn around and attack Swoksaar's front when "facing away," then unfortunately, his attack would be directed at Lord Grim's front.

Insidious! Despicable!

The Blue Rain fans at the scene denounced him. Among them, there were some Blue Rain guild diehards scattered throughout every area of the venue, leading the charge. These guys had fought with Ye Xiu in the game. They had experienced these despicable and insidious methods more than once in the game, leaving behind unforgettable pain.

But arousing the emotions of the scene had no impact on the match. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim continued to shoot behind him slyly.

Yu Wenzhou, just like that, stood completely still and observed for a full thirty-four seconds.

Ye Xiu, just like that, spun in place and shot for thirty-four seconds.

In the thirty-fifth second, Yu Wenzhou finally made a move.

Swoksaar began to chant, directly casting Chaos Rain.

Whoosh!

Applause from the scene.

Because this skill summoned acid clouds from the sky to rain down, no matter where the character was casting the spell, the final point of attack came from above. It was impossible to infer the character's preparation position.

And so, a thick mass of acid clouds suddenly appeared above Lord Grim's head.

The applause grew even louder. Everyone hoped that Lord Grim would be hit by the raindrops soon! As a result, whoosh, Lord Grim raised the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella above his head and opened it.

"Damn it!" Many people at the scene cursed.

If it was really just a Knight's shield, holding it above their head might not completely block the Chaos Rain. But this Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, when opened, was an umbrella. Blocking rain was just too appropriate and professional.

"Float in, float in!" Someone suddenly took the lead in shouting at the scene. It turned out that they were hoping for some gusty rain, so that the raindrops wouldn't fall in a straight line, but would float in diagonally.

As a result, Ye Xiu seemed to have heard the Blue Rain players' wishes. Lord Grim suddenly squatted down.

Squatting down, and still holding the umbrella, this time he was completely protected. Even if there was gusty rain, it wouldn't be able to drip on him.

The Blue Rain players were furious. Damn it, was this a serious match? Holding an umbrella and squatting there, what was he pretending to be, a mushroom?

As a result, at this moment, in the acid clouds above Lord Grim's head, a faint light suddenly appeared. Light points, seemingly six of them…

Six-Star Light Prison!

Players familiar with Warlocks immediately recognized it.

"Brilliant!" Someone with quick reactions immediately shouted.

This Six-Star Light Prison was an impeccable ambush!

Yu Wenzhou was certain that Ye Xiu's Lord Grim would use the umbrella to block the attack from Chaos Rain. Other methods weren't safe enough. After all, he couldn't see the casting, only noticing when the clouds had already formed and the rain was falling.

Then, with the umbrella open, Ye Xiu had completely blocked his upward view. And then, a Six-Star Light Prison with a light pillar falling from above, silently, absolutely undetectable.

"Die!" The Blue Rain fans at the scene shouted excitedly.

As expected of their captain, this technique, so brilliant, so powerful!

Six-Star Light Prison, fell!
