Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1540 An Ordinary Person Pursuing the Footsteps of Geniuses
The Batian fans in their home stadium weren't very friendly towards Xingxin, especially Ye Xiu. But Ye Xiu was particularly clueless, waving to the Batian fans after shaking hands with the Batian players, and was immediately drowned out by boos. Some impulsive fans, still angry about the loss in the previous round, immediately threw some unknown flying objects over, and were quickly taken away by the stadium security.
"Heh heh heh." Ye Xiu was still smiling, not caring at all. After the introductions and pleasantries, the two teams went to their respective player seats. Everyone looked again, and Ye Xiu hadn't gone down, he was still standing on the stage!
What did that mean?
The first player in the individual arena competition!
But the problem was that this wasn't Xingxin's home stadium, it was Batian's. How could he just stand there so brazenly? The Xingxin fans who came with the team were quite excited, but they were quickly drowned out once again by the Batian fans' boos.
His appearance, the wave just now, and then staying on the stage without any suspense. The match hadn't even started yet, and the climax of boos had already come three times, all aimed at Ye Xiu.
"You're really something!" Ye Xiu heard someone say next to him, and when he looked back, it was Lin Jingyan, who hadn't left the stage either.
"Haha." Ye Xiu laughed, "I can tell, they're booing you, booing you for not being creative."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boos from the audience suddenly gradually turned into thunderous applause, becoming the background noise as Lin Jingyan walked over to talk to Ye Xiu. It was clear who the boos were for and who the applause was for.
"Thank you, thank you everyone for the applause." Ye Xiu turned around again and waved vigorously in the direction of the enthusiastic applause. The Batian fans were immediately at a loss, were they booing Ye Xiu or applauding Lin Jingyan? The rhythm was too difficult to grasp.
Lin Jingyan couldn't help but laugh. He could never do something like this, but why did he secretly envy this guy's shamelessness in his heart?
Seeing the Batian fans finally unable to bear it any longer, changing their applause back into boos directed at Ye Xiu, and Ye Xiu immediately putting on a calm look as if "this definitely isn't directed at me", Lin Jingyan couldn't help but laugh again.
Don't look at this as hate and not love, but the two sides really had a tacit understanding. Such excitement, if one day Ye Xiu really wasn't standing on this stage, perhaps the Batian fans would miss it, right? What about Ye Xiu? Did Ye Xiu also know that one day he would be far away from this hustle and bustle, so he was endlessly teasing the Batian fans?
Actually, what he envied wasn't Ye Xiu's shamelessness, but the lively relationship he had with the Glory fans, whether they were friends or foes, right?
And what about himself?
He also had a group of the most familiar fan partners, but were they watching him now?
Lin Jingyan was inadvertently overcome with melancholy until Ye Xiu finished his antics and turned around to greet him: "Did Batian send you to die first?"
"Heh heh heh." Lin Jingyan chuckled dryly. If it were Han Wenqing or Zhang Jiale, they would probably say something like "Who dies is not certain!" But Lin Jingyan wouldn't. In fact, from the beginning, he was different from Ye Xiu, Han Wenqing, and Zhang Jiale. They were all geniuses, true geniuses, people you could tell at a glance were destined to stand at the top of Glory. And himself? Lin Jingyan knew very well that he was never one of the geniuses. He was just one of the many people chasing the footsteps of the geniuses. Luckily, he was finally very close to these geniuses, but it was also sad that all his efforts had only achieved not being left behind by these guys' footsteps?
There was no way around it... Because there was no rule that said geniuses would definitely not work hard. The geniuses in front of him were working just as hard as he was. These guys never thought of leaving any room for others to surpass them.
"It's been hard being with you guys for so many years!" Lin Jingyan suddenly said.
"Huh?" Ye Xiu was stunned. He couldn't react to this sudden, nonsensical sentence.
"It's just a pity, I also have ambitions that don't allow me to compromise!" Lin Jingyan said.
"Oh, you're particularly motivated today!" Ye Xiu said.
"Yes, I want to win!" Lin Jingyan said.
"Try it." Ye Xiu smiled.
"See you in the match."
"See you in the match."
The two shook hands, turned around, and walked towards their respective player seats. The electronic screen in the stadium also officially displayed the opponents for the first battle of the two teams' individual arena competition.
Xingxin, Ye Xiu, Lord Grim.
Batian, Lin Jingyan, Dark Thunder.
When the time came, the match officially began with the referee's confirmation.
Now that the suspense of who would be the first player to appear had been revealed, the next thing everyone was most curious about was the map. What map would Batian choose in their home stadium?
It was... a stage?
Everyone was shocked.
The map that Batian chose on such an important stage as the playoffs was actually the map with the highest usage rate for online duels, the stage!
This map had the highest usage rate precisely because it was the smallest, simplest, and most direct...
This style was indeed in line with the temperament of the Batian team, but professional teams didn't choose maps for the sake of fun and convenience. Choosing a map was the same as giving the home team the first move. Choosing a map was the first sword the home team drew against their opponent. Choosing a map could be the basis for affecting the entire course of the match.
But now, Batian had chosen a stage, with no usable terrain at all, which was the same as giving up their home-field advantage. What's more, Ye Xiu of Xingxin liked to use the stage the most. In the regular season, when he played in individual matches, he would choose this style of map whenever he was playing at home. Did Batian have a spy in their team?
"Director Li, what does this map selection mean?" Pan Lin guided Li Yibo to speak during the broadcast.
"This definitely wasn't a momentary impulse. Especially now that Batian's strategy is completely guided by Zhang Xinjie, there must be many reasons for choosing this map." Li Yibo said. This time, Li Yibo wasn't just making small talk, he really had some thoughts on the matter. But the hateful thing was that Pan Lin misunderstood him, thinking that Li Yibo was just being vague again, so he used his best "Okay, let's wait and see" to directly take back the topic and pass over it, leaving Li Yibo hanging there.
"I..." Li Yibo hesitated, because the match had already begun. Stage, this map couldn't be simpler, the scene was just no scene. Loading such a map was almost instantaneous, not giving Li Yibo any more time to say anything. The first characters of the Xingxin and Batian teams had already appeared in the center of the arena.
Lord Grim, Dark Thunder.
"This map... was specially chosen for me?" Ye Xiu asked in the channel.
