Lost? Won?

The fans of Samsara were in a daze, and so were the fans of Happy. Unlike the professional experts, they didn't have such a detailed understanding of the situation. Their judgment was mostly very simple: whoever had more health on their character had the advantage.

Of course, this kind of judgment standard couldn't be said to be wrong. Having more health was obviously an advantage. The final result of this match could be completely described as Ye Xiu's reversal. It was just that this reversal came too quickly. Just a second ago, the two characters looked like they were fighting fiercely, but how suddenly in one round was Zhou Zekai's One Autumn Leaf pinned to the stalactite and beaten up, with no power to fight back? He finally struggled free, but then he was directly killed with a white blade going in and a red blade coming out?

How could this be?

How could it end like this?

The Samsara fans were at a loss, and the Happy fans were also a little unable to get back to their senses for a while. They had already prepared to lose this round, but One Autumn Leaf was also left with very little health after being defeated, so from the perspective of the team competition, the result wasn't too bad.

Of course, this kind of thought was just self-comfort. Whether it was the topic of the battle between the former and current number one players, or Ye Xiu's record of consecutive victories in one-on-one fights, the Happy fans didn't want Ye Xiu to lose this round from the bottom of their hearts. As for whether it was advantageous or disadvantageous to the team competition, the fans couldn't be bothered with this kind of rational consideration.

And now, he won.

As they wished, Ye Xiu won. But after having already built up their mental defenses and even found reasons to comfort themselves, they were instead a little dazed. It took a long time, until Zhou Zekai walked out of the competition booth, for the Happy supporters in the audience to react and start cheering from their guest stands.

How did he win?

They still weren't clear, but that was no longer important. The result was already there, so let's enjoy this victory first! It wasn't too late to slowly investigate the process later.

The audience could have this kind of attitude, but as the broadcast commentators, Pan Lin and Li Yibo of Excellent Era couldn't say to the audience, "Let's be happy first, and we'll talk about the rest later." This was a live broadcast of a match, so there was no "later" to speak of. The two of them had to comment on this sudden reversal and give some explanation.

So the changes of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella at that moment were mentioned as the main points by the two of them.

"Dragon Tooth completed the distance transfer, and Collapsing Mountain Strike can be said to be launched at zero distance."

"This Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in its greatsword form is really big enough. This Collapsing Mountain Strike controls a really large area. It's not easy to dodge!"

"Look, at the instant when Collapsing Mountain Strike started, Lord Grim also pulled out the katana from the handle of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. This confused Zhou Zekai and made him misjudge."

"Yes, yes, what a clever design!"

The two of them spoke one after another, not stingy with their praise. The two of them were even thinking that in the future, as long as it was Ye Xiu's one-on-one match, they could just directly announce the victory at the start, and wouldn't this commentary be very impeccable?

Through their comments on that moment, the reversal was explained by the two of them. But for the professional experts, the technical details of that instant were certainly important, but it wasn't just this little bit of thing, it wasn't that simple.

Ye Xiu and Zhou Zekai, these two guys with the title of number one, actually had many similarities. Taking their operations as an example, compared to the hand speed and other issues that ordinary players were keen to compare, the most impressive thing about these two wasn't speed, but accuracy.

Both of their operations were exceptionally precise. Because they were precise, they both often adopted some methods with very low fault tolerance. Zhou Zekai could play shooting skills as physical skills because his operation was precise; Ye Xiu dared to launch a strong attack when his character's health was only at five percent, still because of the precision of his operation.

In addition, their awareness and their judgment were the same in many places. When the two of them truly erupted, it was difficult for their opponents to find room for a counterattack.

Lord Grim ultimately pushed One Autumn Leaf against the stalactite for close combat. Was it completely impossible to create such an opportunity before? Not necessarily!

He intentionally saved this kind of play style until the end, until it could determine the outcome. People were marveling at his courage to strongly attack his opponent when his health was at five percent, but in fact, what Ye Xiu saw wasn't the five percent of his character's health, but the fourteen percent of One Autumn Leaf's health. Zhou Zekai was exchanging with him. He was very clear that Zhou Zekai was waiting for an opportunity to erupt and solve the battle, and he was also waiting.

But his Lord Grim had a healing system, and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella could even be crafted with three Cleric skills. But in this duel, he didn't use a single crafted Cleric skill, which couldn't help but make people suspect that he was brewing some bad idea again. The professional players outside the arena unanimously believed that he must have hidden a healing skill to explode at the end. He didn't use it before because he wanted to wait until the last moment, when both sides had little health left. Once the healing exploded, Zhou Zekai wouldn't have time to adjust.

They guessed Ye Xiu's psychology correctly. He was waiting for an opportunity, but he wasn't waiting for the opportunity to use healing skills. This guy, who was at a disadvantage in health, was actually also waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, waiting for One Autumn Leaf's health to reach about the point where he could kill him in one wave, and at the same time, waiting for Zhou Zekai to launch a strong attack.

Launching a strong attack meant that he would inevitably not be as cautious on the defensive end, and would prioritize attacking his opponent above all else. Ye Xiu accurately gauged One Autumn Leaf's health, seized the opportunity when the other party launched a strong attack, and directly used attack against attack, successfully landing a strong hit.

Because the two sides were ultimately in close combat, directly clashing head-on, a Sharpshooter couldn't beat a scattered person. And this time, Ye Xiu wouldn't give the other party a chance to exchange. He was going to take away the fourteen percent of health in one wave.

Then came what everyone saw. The strongly attacking Lord Grim completely restricted One Autumn Leaf. Except for the slight loss of health at the beginning when he rushed up with Collapsing Mountain Strike, One Autumn Leaf had no power to fight back after that. The openings appeared because Lord Grim's skills were running out, but Ye Xiu had obviously prepared for this situation long ago. One Autumn Leaf's remaining health was just a matter of one strike away. A Instant Step Kill, a fatal blow.

What the professional experts saw wasn't just the technical details, but also the two people's control of the situation and their grasp of the rhythm.

Ye Xiu won, and it was only a narrow victory, but considering that he was sniped and headshot by the other party at the beginning and suffered a great loss, and then reversed from that kind of disadvantage to win, the one who controlled the situation in this match had to be said to be him.

Of course, this also had to do with Lord Grim's class characteristics and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's varied functions. If this wasn't a scattered person and didn't have the possibility of healing, Zhou Zekai would never have waited until Lord Grim's health was only at five percent to erupt. At ten percent, or even less, he would probably have started a rhythm to decide the outcome in one wave.

Class advantage, equipment advantage, in the online game, relying on these two advantages to win a pk often made opponents unconvinced and would be regarded by opponents as an unsportsmanlike victory.

But in the professional arena, as long as there was a little advantage, everyone would desperately seize it and magnify it. Ye Xiu was doing exactly this. The scattered person and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, these two combinations created endless variations that made the other players' heads explode. They really wanted to roar like the players in the online game, "If you have the guts, change your perverted weapon and your bug class, and let's have a one-on-one fight."

But then again, what would happen even if he changed? Wasn't he walking sideways when he used a Battle Mage?

The professional players were all applauding. This match was really wonderful. The victor was extremely strong, but the loser was also enough to make people shudder. Everyone habitually substituted themselves into the match to simulate it, and in the end, their expressions were quite solemn. Obviously, no one dared to say that they could do this or that if it were them.

In the second round of the finals, the first match of the individual competition ended, and Happy, playing away from home, won the first victory. Ye Xiu continued to extend his undefeated myth in one-on-one fights this season. And this time, he defeated Zhou Zekai, who was known as the number one player. After this, those taunts that his consecutive victories lacked gold content and that the trump cards of each team were guarding the ring instead of being the first to fight would be wildly sprayed.

He even beat Zhou Zekai, so how much gold content was needed? Did he have to single-handedly fight two at once to be qualified?

The Samsara fans in the audience were a little silent. Their main general, the supreme god in their hearts, actually lost like this? It was a rare first appearance, an unstoppable and strong attack, but in the end, he lost?

The Samsara fans were really unaccustomed to it. They couldn't turn the corner for a while, and they even forgot the consoling applause for the loser. In their hearts, there was only cheers and praise for Zhou Zekai. Comforting him after losing was not something they were used to…

"Then, it's my turn to play." From the Samsara player seat, Jiang Botao stood up and took over from Zhou Zekai, who was coming off the stage.

"Mm." Zhou Zekai nodded. His usual silence made it impossible to see how he was feeling at this time.

"Four percent of health. He's really going to heal this time, right…" Jiang Botao muttered as he walked toward the stage.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite heavy. The Samsara fans forgot to comfort Zhou Zekai, who had lost and was coming off the stage, and they also forgot to cheer for Jiang Botao, who was going on stage. They were still immersed in the failure that they couldn't understand.

But Jiang Botao's mood didn't seem to be so heavy.

Four percent.

Lord Grim's health was only this much left. In fact, from the perspective of the individual competition, Zhou Zekai's loss wasn't too tragic. It was just because this duel had more topics, and it was just because Zhou Zekai rarely appeared first, targeting Happy's usual deployment of Ye Xiu appearing first. This was more like a challenge, a challenge initiated by him.

In the end, he lost.

This made the Samsara fans feel very awkward and lose face…

This kind of emotion was something that Zhou Zekai had never brought them before. There were even female players in the audience who directly cried.

But Zhou Zekai's teammate, Samsara's vice-captain Jiang Botao, didn't seem to be infected by these emotions. He calmly walked onto the stage and entered the competition booth.

Character loaded, map loaded, match started.

"Hello, Senior. I'm here!" Zhou Zekai was silent, but as soon as Jiang Botao came on stage, he enthusiastically took the initiative to greet Ye Xiu.

"Come to surrender?" Ye Xiu replied.

"How could I?" Jiang Botao sent a message. "I've come to experience Senior's terror."

============================

Here it comes again! Our Lord Ye Xiu is immediately heading non-stop to the next opponent. Although his health isn't much, mine isn't much either. I'm asking for votes to heal…
