Chapter 187 Backstab

Fang Rui had just squeezed out of the competition seat when Tang Rou had already stood up from the Happy contestant area.

It wasn't easy to get to the playoffs, but Tang Rou didn't get a chance to play in the first round, which was a pity for her.

In the team competition, she wasn't on the roster last round, but in the individual competition, she was originally in the fifth position. As a result, Happy ended the battle in the fourth position last round. Tang Rou looked forward to it all night, but ended up being a spectator.

Logically speaking, it would be a good thing for Happy if Tang Rou, who was ranked relatively late, didn't play in the individual competition. That's what should be expected.

Of course, Tang Rou wasn't hoping that Happy would do poorly. She was just eagerly hoping to participate in the competition.

This round, Tang Rou was ranked fourth, so she finally had a chance to play. Before Fang Rui even came down, she had already strode onto the stage.

"That Little Tang is the opposite of Blue Rain's Zheng Xuan!" Ye Xiu said with emotion.

Chen Guo was stunned, then thought about it, and realized it was true.

Zheng Xuan was famous for his lack of motivation, and always had "too much pressure" on his lips; Tang Rou? She was most motivated for matches, and loved pressure the most.

"I wonder if those two will face off?" Chen Guo suddenly wanted to see the duel between these opposites.

"Probably not?" Ye Xiu said.

"Blue Rain still has one person left!" Chen Guo said.

"Huang Shaotian," Ye Xiu reminded her.

"Oh, right!" Chen Guo slapped her forehead. She had forgotten that Huang Shaotian hadn't played for Blue Rain today! She was just used to Zheng Xuan's fixed position in individual matches. But today Blue Rain did something different, and Yu Wenzhou took a spot in the individual competition, so Zheng Xuan managed to escape a match. Huang Shaotian was definitely guarding the fort in the individual competition, that was without question, he was the core trump card!

Happy's two, one leaving, one entering, met on the way.

"So eager!" Fang Rui smiled.

Tang Rou smiled and said nothing.

"That kid is straightforward. Stick to him head-on and blow him up!" Fang Rui said.

"Okay." Tang Rou nodded.

"Good luck." Fang Rui said, then returned to Happy's contestant area.

Although Blue Rain won the match, because it was Happy's player leaving the stage, the applause at the scene was relatively restrained, and the enthusiasm was mainly concentrated on the west stands. That was where the Happy fans gathered, and at this time, they applauded the Happy players leaving and entering the stage, regardless of victory or defeat. Blue Rain fans, although they had just won a round, were still quite heavy-hearted because the next situation wasn't good.

"The young people these days are really amazing!" Fang Rui sighed as he returned to the Happy camp. When talking about Lu Hanwen, he was definitely qualified to act like an old-timer.

"You thought you could easily solve him?" Ye Xiu said.

"Don't mention it, I really thought so at first. I've fought with that kid a few times in the past two years," Fang Rui said.

"He's improved quickly, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"His future is limitless." Fang Rui's expression was rarely serious.

Chen Guo listened from the side, and after a while, she turned to look at Fang Rui and said, "So you mean to say that your loss just now was excusable?"

"Oh, boss lady, you're really good at chatting!" Fang Rui clapped his thigh excitedly.

Chen Guo rolled her eyes wildly. She was wondering how these two guys suddenly became so kind-hearted praising the younger generation. As expected, this guy was shamelessly trying to excuse his defeat! It seemed that he still felt like he lost face losing to a rookie in his second year.

"Haha." Ye Xiu laughed on the side, but after that, he still said seriously to Chen Guo, "Pay more attention to him, boss lady. He's a formidable opponent that Happy will have to face for the next ten years."

"Like Han Wenqing!" Chen Guo blurted out. An enemy of ten years, always used to Ye Qiu's One Autumn Leaf, she immediately thought of Han Wenqing, and his Desert Dust.

"No way." Ye Xiu actually disagreed. "I already beat him to a pulp. He's the one who can't get past me."

"Take it easy! He beat you in the fourth season." Wei Chen couldn't listen anymore.

"Haha, if you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet?" Ye Xiu said.

That analogy… How does it still sound so arrogant? Chen Guo was speechless.

Happy's players could still chat like this on the stage because the match hadn't started yet. Although Tang Rou came up quickly, the interval between each round wasn't so random. Chen Guo came up quickly, but she still had to wait.

After about half a minute, the duel between the fourth players from both sides finally began.

Tang Rou, accumulating fighting spirit for a long time, controlled the full-health Soft Mist to rush out from the spawn point. Lu Hanwen, Flowing Cloud only had twenty-three percent of his health. After the start, he decisively chose tactical positioning.

"Lu Hanwen is also playing tactics!" From the commentator Pan Lin's words, it could be seen that everyone was a bit surprised by this scene.

Lu Hanwen's personality and style have always been unlike a brainpower-type player. Moreover, he's just a rookie with two years of experience. Can he play tactics well?

"After all, his opponent is Tang Rou!" Li Yibo's remarks immediately dispelled everyone's doubts.

Although Lu Hanwen only had two years of experience, it was still more than Tang Rou, who had only entered the league for one regular season and was participating in the playoffs for the first time.

Lu Hanwen was indeed not a brainpower-type player, but Tang Rou… had never been one either, right?

Two players with similar strengths colliding, expecting them to play the kind of intrigue that Yu Wenzhou and Ye Xiu did wasn't realistic. Lu Hanwen's tactical play might not be so exquisite or profound, but Tang Rou and him were just about the same. Then his not-so-exquisite tactical play might be enough here. Everyone's at this level, so no one takes anyone too seriously.

"Speaking of which, today is Tang Rou's playoff debut!" Pan Lin said.

"That's right, she didn't get a chance to play last round," Li Yibo said.

"She doesn't seem nervous at all! She was very eager to play before," Pan Lin said with a smile.

"Nervous? A player who dared to say she would defeat three opponents on her own, and then was criticized for it, but could still perform stably on the field, think about what kind of psychological quality that is," Li Yibo said.

"That's true. It seems that the problems that usually occur with rookies don't apply to Tang Rou," Pan Lin said.

"Yes, Tang Rou's biggest problem has never been the external environment. It's mainly herself, such as rhythm control, defensive ability, etc. We've discussed these many times during the regular season," Li Yibo said.

"Yes, we've also talked about some of her problems during the regular season. But as the matches go on, we can see clear progress in her," Pan Lin said.

"Now is the time to test that progress," Li Yibo said.

The two of them had a tone of relief, as if they had guided Tang Rou's growth all the way.

"Now Tang Rou is cutting straight to the middle, and Lu Hanwen is detouring from his right, which is the west side of the map," Pan Lin returned to the scene and explained.

Tang Rou rushed very fast, and Soft Mist arrived at the center of the map in no time. She carefully scanned left and right, but didn't see her opponent.

"Haven't arrived yet or detouring?" Tang Rou asked in the channel.

After all, she came from Happy, and was in contact with Ye Xiu and those guys all day long. Tang Rou asked this question so matter-of-factly, as if she didn't consider that as a key match in the playoffs, there was no reason for the other side to give you a correct answer!

As a result, Lu Hanwen was honest, "Detouring."

"Which side?" Tang Rou asked.

The stadium was filled with whispers. Why were Happy's players so unscrupulous? Everyone discussed.

"Guess," Lu Hanwen sent a face. He was finally no longer honest in this place.

"Okay, waiting for you," Tang Rou replied, and then Soft Mist stayed in place, constantly rotating her view, observing the surroundings.

Lu Hanwen was naturally very familiar with this map. Flowing Cloud quickly detoured to the west side of the middle, and then began to cautiously approach, using the trees instead of the fog for cover. Finally, when he poked his head out from behind a tree, he saw Soft Mist's location.

Where to start?

Seeing Soft Mist's constantly rotating view, Lu Hanwen scratched his head. He wasn't very good at this!

After thinking for about five seconds, Lu Hanwen made up his mind.

Backstab!

Thinking that, he stared at the rotation of Soft Mist's view. When she turned her back to this direction, Flowing Cloud darted out!

"..." Pan Lin couldn't find a way to describe it for a while. After appreciating Fang Rui's level of despicable play, Lu Hanwen's charge seemed so simple and unadorned that Pan Lin was embarrassed to define it as a sneak attack.

"Flowing Cloud detoured to the west and struck!" In the end, Pan Lin summarized it.

Off the field, Fang Rui laughed so hard that he leaned forward and back, while pointing at the Blue Rain players on the field. On Blue Rain's side, Yu Wenzhou was also talking about other things. He didn't want to talk much about Lu Hanwen's tactical positioning, because there wasn't much to talk about.

Such a simple and crude backstab, could only cause panic in a very, very new rookie, right?

Tang Rou wasn't very new, and her psychological quality was even better than many veterans.

So Lu Hanwen's very rough backstab didn't have the effect it should have.

Soft Mist rolled on the spot to avoid it. When she got up, the counterattack had already come.

Lu Hanwen's tactics were over.

Bang bang bang bang!

The weapons of both sides collided fiercely.

Everyone immediately felt much better.

Sure enough, young people should fight like this, sweating! Those sneaky, scheming tactics should be left to the old guys!

Bang bang bang bang!

The collision of weapons, the killing of skills. The surrounding environment didn't exist, and the map had no effect. Such two opponents, give them a small space, and they can overturn the entire world.

This was a pure contest of control and skill.
