For Love of the Game

"Maple Moon's second round is still Shi Yi. It seems that he will be in this position in the future. With Shen Huai and Song Xueyang around, there is actually no pressure for Shi Yi's second round."

Yao Jun agrees, "Shiyi's personal strength is not bad, but his performance is not very stable. Putting him in the second round will not put too much pressure on him, but he can also play a role. In fact, it is a relatively compromise solution."

"Brother Jun, who do you think will win this fight?"

"One time," Yao Jun said without hesitation, "After all, there is a difference in blood volume. In the infighting of the magician profession, elementalists are basically invincible. They have excellent control and displacement skills, as well as high single-target bursts. In comparison, Ice and Fire are all branches that are more focused on team battles, not to mention that Thunder and Fire have lost an ultimate move."

"The key to this game is to see how much Leihuo can recover. Leihuo is an old player we are familiar with. He has always appeared in 6V6 and 2V2 modes before, and rarely played in the single-player arena. But today he did not appear in the first two games. It's not that easy to beat him by recharging your energy and preparing for the single-player arena."

Shi Yi rested his hands on the keyboard and took a deep breath.

Lei Huo is an old-timer in the industry, and he has watched many matches with him. Since he is also a magician, he has carefully studied his style of play. This match has a great chance of winning.

At the end of the countdown, Shi Yi turned over and jumped onto the ring. At this time, Lei Huo had just walked to the center of the ring. Shi Yi moved arcane flashes and jumped directly in front of Lei Huo.

Lei Huo immediately released a small-scale group attack with raging flames to fight back, but Shi Yi just activated the second part of Arcane Blink to return to the original point, successfully dodging this skill.

Fan Jingming clenched his fists excitedly, "nice!"

Yao Jun also praised at the same time, "This set of fast attack is very beautiful. Arcane Blink is indeed an elemental master's magic skill. In the arena, you are invincible in a one-on-one kite flying. It's a pity that the fire method has no control skills. There is no advantage against an elementalist with flexible skills."

"Yes, and Shi Yi looks very good today. He rarely takes the initiative to attack, but he played very aggressively in this game."

The fans of the Maple Moon team cheered.

Shen Huai didn't think that, just now, he slapped Yushui Jue superimposed the state of water element, and then it is obviously more beneficial to directly amplify and suppress the enemy's blood line, especially Leihuo's ultimate ultimate move is still in CD state. It's easy to be heartbroken when you get hit back.

Although it wasn't a mistake, he didn't think that Shi Yi didn't even have this point of judgment.

Shi Yi's throat moved slightly.

what happened?

He obviously wanted to use the five thunders to blast the top just now, why did it become the Thunder Spirit Curse?

He remembered that his hand was already on the R key, how could he press it wrong?

It's okay, don't worry.

It's not a big deal even if you cast the Thunder Spirit Curse, it's okay to amplify it in the next combo.

Lei Huo rushed towards him, this angle only needs to be fixed with a force of nature, and then a combo of wind and rain and thunder and lightning can also be used to gain an advantage.

Shi Yi aimed at Lei Huo's direction, and quickly tapped his fingers on the keyboard—the force of nature!

"If you want to recover from the disadvantage, Lei Huo must make a quick decision. He rushed forward, but this angle is easy to be reversed! Force of nature! I am KAO? What's the situation? Reversed?!"

An astonishing scene appeared on the screen. The elementalist raised his hand and released a force of nature, but the direction was completely opposite to Lei Huo!

The Force of Nature is a non-directional skill. It is easy for the enemy to dodge the frontal shot, but if you hit the backhand, you will hardly miss it. However, Shiyi's move is completely in the opposite direction, which is obviously an operation mistake!

Shi Yi's fingers trembled slightly, he couldn't believe that he would make such a mistake when he was in excellent condition, but Lei Huo was so close at hand, he had no time to think about it at all, so he could only bite the bullet and hit down.

Five thunders, wind and rain!

When the two skill special effects appeared on the screen one after another, Shi Yi's heart went cold at the same time.

His hair was dripping with sweat, and his hands on the keyboard were trembling uncontrollably.

Inverted, the order of these two skills is reversed.

Niu Niu was shocked, "What? He actually used five thunderbolts first! When the first skill is added, the points are basically added to the spells of the thunder and water elements, relying on the bonus of the thunder and lightning spells in the water state to explode, the normal combo should be After the wind and rain, he used the five thunders to strike the top, but he actually hit it backwards!"

Shi Yi was already stupid, he didn't know why he made such a mistake.

His condition today is obviously very good, he was extremely relaxed until before the game, and he also played smoothly in 6V6, and he even heard a few jokes from Brother Xiaoming during the break.

This was the first time he faced a game so easily, how could he play worse than when he was so nervous before?

At this moment in the chaos in his mind, Lei Huo had already cut in front of him, and unleashed a big move on his face, blazing fire!

The damage of Liaoyuan is very high, and if you are in the center of the formation, you will receive additional damage, and you will be stunned when you collide with the surrounding fire walls. It is a very rogue skill in fire team battles.

As soon as Shi reacted, he immediately ran away. No matter how tall he exploded, he was just a magician with a very fragile body, and he couldn't bear this blazing fire at all.

But he is an elementalist, and an elementalist with arcane flicker can jump out of the range of his skills with one move, so there is no need to be afraid.

He hurriedly pressed the Arcane Blink, but because of a miscalculation of the distance, he hit the wall of fire!

The blazing fire wall can stun the enemy for two seconds, and Leihuo seizes this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to instantly launch a set of big explosions.

Flame Cannon, Fireball, Flame Radiance!

Shi Yi's blood volume dropped to 30%, even lower than Lei Huo's!

"Overtake!" Niu Niu excitedly shouted from the commentary booth, "Lei Huo not only equaled Shi Yi's HP, but also surpassed him! He still has 50% of his mana, so he has every chance to kill Shi Yi! "

When Leihuo pursued vigorously, he chased and hit him fiercely, and the flame leap narrowed the distance, and his skills continued to hit him.

For a while, he felt that he was very cold all over, and he wanted to say that the air conditioner in the soundproof room was turned on too much, and suddenly realized that it is winter now, and the air conditioner should be turned on with warm air.

But his fingers seemed to be frozen, and it was so difficult to move them. His mind was muddled, and his body was completely out of control. No matter what he thought, his actions always ran counter to his original intention.

His breathing eased as the screen turned gray.

A pair of eyes fixed on the fallen elementalist on the screen, as if his own soul flew away with him.

He sat in the chair for a long time, and the soundproof room was so quiet that only the hum of the computer was running.

The referee came over to remind him that it was time to end, his lips were instantly white as paper, as if he had heard some terrible story, his eyes trembled and he turned his head slowly.

"Me? Is it time to end?"

The referee urged, "Hurry up, the next contestant will have to adjust their skills."

He turned around mechanically, and the moment he opened the door, overwhelming applause from the audience burst into his ears.

"Thunder Fire! Thunder Fire! Thunder Fire!"

"Thunderfire is amazing! He fought back against the wind when he was half behind! He successfully recovered the disadvantage of Thunder's start! Although his mana is not much, he still has 30% of his health, which is enough to consume Song Xueyang's skills to be the third. Compete to accumulate advantages!"

"Thunder must win! Thunder must win!"

Shi Yi stood at the door and raised his head slowly, for a moment he couldn't tell whether the light in the soundproof room was white or his face was whiter.

He held the doorknob tightly with his fingers, and he heard the one-sided cheering from the audience. His eyes flicked over his teammates one by one. When he saw Shen Huai, the emotions in his eyes suddenly surged, and his whole shoulders trembled. .

The waiting room was silent, and Hai Xing couldn't help smoothing things over, "Don't worry, you're a bit too tired from playing two games every day for the past two days, just rest and rest, the next game is the captain, we will definitely not lose."

Shi Yi's last trace of sanity also broke, he couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed out of the waiting room.

Fan Jingming reacted quickly, grabbed the door to be closed and ran out.

Hai Xing panicked, "I, I just thought that if only I lost, would it be more appropriate for the same loser to comfort him? Shouldn't I talk?"

Zhou Ning sighed, Shen Huai rubbed his head, "No, you did a good job."

Hai Xing still couldn't help looking at the door, "Why? Wasn't Shi Yi in good shape before he came on the court? Although he made a mistake in the duel with Xing Hai yesterday, didn't he come out quickly and fight back? Why not today? ..."

He couldn't figure it out, Shi Yi had never made any mistakes in training, even though he knew he was the kind of person who would only be stage fright in an official match, wasn't there nothing wrong with the match against Xinghai yesterday?Is it true that his problems will be revealed only when he meets the top eight teams, as it is said on the Internet?

"For people who are used to high pressure, relaxation may not be a good thing." Song Xueyang said calmly.

Shen Huai was startled, he remembered that Song Xueyang told him to "concentrate" before going on stage, did he actually guess the result at that time?So Zhou Ning was not allowed to play because he didn't want him to take the blame?

Song Xueyang didn't give him an answer, he had already put on the battle uniform with "Broken Snow" printed on it, and went to fight the most difficult game.

Hai Xing still didn't understand, "Why? Is it a good thing for Shi Yi to be under pressure? Isn't it because of too much psychological burden that he made mistakes?"

No one answered him, but Shen Huai understood.

Because the deliberate relaxation and hints gave me too high expectations, once I made a slight mistake, I would fall into a vicious circle of constant self-doubt, even worse than before.

The blow that this miss brought to Shi Yi was undoubtedly unprecedented, because he was so confident that he would win.

Shi Yi had short legs, and Fan Jingming overtook him within two steps.

Fan Jingming grabbed his arm and forced him to turn his head around, but when he saw it, he bit his lower lip and his shoulders twitched and tried to hold back, so he was so distressed that he couldn't say a word.

He pulled Shi Yi to the bathroom beside him, and coaxed in a low voice, "It's okay, this time it was just an accident, and it can't explain anything."

Shi Yi finally couldn't help it anymore, and tears fell down.

"Brother Ming..."

As soon as he spoke, the hoarse voice made Fan Jingming's heart tremble.

"Why is it that the more I want to do well, the more I can't do well?"

This question seemed to go straight to the depths of his soul, and he couldn't even say a word.

The first half of Fan Jingming's life went smoothly, and he hardly ever worried about anything when he grew up.

His family conditions are good, he is the only son, handsome, he was always followed by a group of suitors when he was in school, he was spotted by scouts as a part-time model before he graduated from high school, and he was caught by Fengyue when he went swimming with his classmates in college. The top executives of the club dug into the team.

At that time, he didn't take e-sports seriously. He only thought of playing with his roommates in the dormitory in peacetime. He liked to be praised by others, and he liked to be better than others in everything he did. Playing games can be admired. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

Fan Jingming seemed to be born with nothing that he was not good at. Although he couldn't get full marks in everything, he was excellent in everything.

He is a person who enjoys life and has no ambitions. He joined Fengyue for the sake of being famous. He is worthy of his conscience if he wins or loses the game. He will never force himself or force himself.

But it's just like this that he can still occupy a place in the e-sports circle and have a lot of diehard fans, but when he tried his best to work hard, he got nothing.

Why is it that the more I want to do it, the worse it becomes?

Fan Jingming couldn't answer this question, because as long as he wanted to do it, he could do it.
