For Love of the Game

枫月VS银河的比赛正式开始，子场模式依次是1V1、6V6和2V2。

The audience outside the arena shouted Cang Yu's name as always, as if as long as there was Cang Yu's game, it became Maple Moon's home court.

The two sides submitted the list of players for the first match. Maple Moon's lineup is Shen Huai, Fan Jingming, and Zhou Ning.

Seeing the lineup, everyone was a little surprised. Before Fengyue’s second round, Shi Yi was playing, and Fan Jingming himself rarely played in the ring in the past few seasons. He himself said in an interview that he didn’t like solo very much. Unexpectedly Fengyue actually arranged for him to play this time. Sure enough, yesterday's mistake made Shi Yi sit on the bench?

Song Xueyang wanted to give Fan Jingming a chance, but was also worried that Shi Yi would misunderstand himself and wanted to replace him because of his poor performance yesterday, "There are more Xinghe long-distance players, and Xiao Ming's berserkers are more dominant, and you will be replaced in the next game."

Shi Shi nodded, he had learned to bear the consequences of failure as early as in the Xiaowolf team.

Fan Jingming's gaze was always on Shi Yi, and he secretly made up his mind to become stronger quickly.

"I'm leaving." Shen Huai said to Song Xueyang.

"Come on." Song Xueyang smiled.

However, Shen Huai couldn't pull out a smile. He turned around and walked into the soundproof room. Song Xueyang saw that he kept his hands in his pockets, and vaguely felt something was wrong.

Shen Huai logged into the game to allocate skill points, and tapped twice on the keyboard. The index finger and middle finger were fine, but when he pressed the button with his ring finger, his little finger felt a dull pain.

The condition of the little finger was even more serious than yesterday, the entire area below the joint was swollen and turned purple, and the part where the nail fell off was suppurated due to the lack of timely and effective treatment.

His hands were on the keyboard before the referee noticed.

"What's wrong with your hand? Why are you still playing like this?" He bent down to check it carefully, but just by looking at it, he felt a pain in his heart like an electric shock.

"Change someone."

He straightened up and was about to communicate with the staff, Shen Huai quickly said, "I can type on the keyboard without my little finger, let me type!"

If he was taken out by the referee before the game, his teammates would definitely know the situation. He was the first in the opening round, and if something happened to him, it would definitely affect the performance of others in the future.

The referee has been in this position for many years and obviously understands this truth. It is easy to take the blame for on-the-spot substitutions, and they are not willing to do this.

It's just that the selection can be repeated, but if something happens to the players on the field, none of them can bear the responsibility.

The referee didn't listen to Shen Huai's prayer and directly pressed the red light symbolizing a timeout. The entire soundproof room was shrouded in red light, which was particularly eye-catching on the dark stage.

"It should be that the equipment is malfunctioning, everyone, please be safe," Yao Jun said, but he has been the captain for many years and he knows very well that once the referee presses the red light and opens the door of the soundproof room, it can only prove that the player himself has been found When he came up with a question, he was anxious, but the only thing he could do was to divert the topic in other directions, "The contestant in Yinhe's first competition today is a qigong master, and he is actually quite restrained against Cang Yu."

Niu Niu has a strong adaptability, and immediately talked freely, "Yes, the current version of Qigong Master's single-handed ability in the ring is still the best in the whole profession, and the 1V1 winning rate has always been at the top of the list. The S5 season is still very strong. Cang Yu's previous opponents are all Although the fire method can restrain assassins, it is not considered a ring dominator profession, and today's qigong masters are completely different..."

According to the regulations, in an emergency, the referee can turn on the red light and ask the coach of the team to enter the arena. Maple Moon does not have a coach, and Song Xueyang has two jobs. As soon as the door opened, he walked in consciously.

As early as when the referee bent down to ask about the situation, he noticed something was wrong. When the red light came on, his heart sank.

The atmosphere in the soundproof room was gloomy. Shen Huai glanced at him and then slowly lowered his head. Song Xueyang followed his gaze and saw the red, swollen and festering fingers on his knee.

It seemed that a thorn was stuck in Song Xueyang's chest, making it difficult for him to even breathe. He stood there calmly and listened to the referee's explanation of the situation. In fact, he never left Shen Huai's hand for a moment.

Mingming's heart hurts badly just by looking at it, but he still refuses to look away as if masochistic.

"I suggest a replacement."

Shen Huai immediately objected, "I can fight."

Song Xueyang turned sideways to block the camera, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know the consequences of making a mistake and losing on the field? Fans don't care if you are Cang Yu."

The e-sports circle is cruel. Sometimes even just losing one game will make people forget that you have won thousands of games. The more famous the player, the more clearly his mistakes will be remembered, and he often loses a game It will become a lingering shadow of the entire career.

"I know," Shen Huai said without hesitation, "but this is the first round of today's opening round. If they know that I'm injured, they won't be able to fight the rest of the round."

Song Xueyang was silent. As a captain, he knew that what Shen Huai said was right, especially from the timing, it is likely that Shen Huai's hand was injured because of Shi Yi. If he left the field at this time, it would be very difficult for Shi Yi and Fan Jingming. Undoubtedly a heavy blow.

But as a suitor of Shen Huai, he also knew that Shen Huai's behavior was killing himself.

Shen Huai's career has risen too fast. The popularity accumulated by many players over the years has only taken him two short days. He carries the hopes of millions of fans, and all eyes are on him. At this time, he lost to An unknown player whose strength is much lower than his is bound to become the talking point of all e-sports fans.

Underestimating the enemy, arrogance, mistakes, match-fixing...

Song Xueyang could almost think of the label that would be placed on Shen Huai after this scene.

Shen Huai said in a low voice, "I don't want to disappoint everyone, didn't I agree to have hot pot together at night?"

Song Xueyang's heart softened suddenly, he could see that Shen Huai didn't want to spoil everyone's happiness, he hoped that everyone in the team could finish the game with confidence, and then happily share the fruits of victory together.

He rarely communicates with his teammates, but he undoubtedly loves the team in his own way.

Song Xueyang walked to the referee and whispered, "Please adjust the camera position, the injuries of my players cannot be seen by the audience."

Shen Huai was dumbfounded. The moment Song Xueyang turned around just now, he thought he would be asked to end.

The referee was a little embarrassed, "This..."

Song Xueyang patted him on the shoulder, "You can keep the video, just don't rebroadcast it on the big screen. After the game, our club will contact the competition committee. If there is any problem, just take out the video."

The referee thought about it, and the relationship between these top eight teams and the competition committee is actually good. After all, how can there be a thrilling game without excellent players?The on-site cameras are all about the frontal faces of the contestants, and only a few side positions are easy to record. It is not a matter of principle to pay attention to it a little.

"Okay, I understand, but if your club doesn't communicate with us in time after the game..."

"Don't worry, for sure."

Song Xueyang turned around and glanced at Shen Huai, then leaned into his Shen Huai's ear, "Listen to me this time..."

The 3-minute timeout passed quickly, Song Xueyang exited the soundproof room, the referee turned off the timeout light, and the game continued.

As soon as he came out, everyone gathered around and asked, "What happened? What happened to Shen Huai?"

Song Xueyang said nonchalantly, "Shen Huai's keyboard was suspected of not complying with the rules of the competition, but it turned out that they were wrong in their judgment."

A group of people breathed a sigh of relief.

Hai Xing said indignantly, "How could Shen Huai cheat, I really don't know what they think!"

Shi Shi nodded, "No one would be so stupid as to cheat in a 1V1 situation!"

Zhou Jing said unforgivingly, "Old eyes are dim."

After everyone said it, they finally felt relieved.

Song Xueyang looked calm as usual, but his gaze never left the screen for a moment.

Fengyue's current points are far ahead, it's really nothing to lose a game, but Shen Huai can't lose, at least not at this time.

He not only wants to win, but also wins beautifully.

The first round of the Maple Moon VS Galaxy ring match officially began. Shen Huai manipulated the assassin to walk to the center of the ring, and then took his hands off the keyboard.

The qigong master saw him make a qigong cannon from a distance, and originally wanted to test it out, but Shen Huai didn't move at all, and the qigong was taken in vain.

The qigong master was a little puzzled, he paused and made a tentative move, Shen Huai still didn't move, his qi and blood -5%.

"Why didn't Cang Yu move? Equipment failure?" Niu Niu stretched his neck to look into the soundproof room, as if he could see through the stage.

The camera couldn't see his hands, but he could only be seen sitting quietly in front of the computer with calm eyes, which obviously wasn't a problem with the equipment.

"He probably intends to lower his qi and blood to below 10% before making a move." Yao Jun guessed his intention at once.

Shen Huai looked at his health bar calmly. The damage dealt by an assassin with full health is very low. Normally, when he is in a good state, he should try his best to consume the enemy's blood. But now the condition of his fingers is not optimistic. Every skill has to be used. Use it wisely, just like Song Xueyang said——

"Listen to me in this match. In your current situation, you can only hit two quadruple strikes, so you must make a move after the blood volume is lower than 10%."

Seeing that Shen Huai was motionless, the qigong master guessed his intentions. The two sets of combos directly suppressed his blood volume below 10%. Shen Huai quickly raised his hand and tapped the keyboard——lurking!

Blood Assassin has two ways of invisibility, one is the invisibility triggered by the four-hit combo of "Shadow Mark", the invisibility state lasts for ten seconds, and the advantage is that the CD is short.The other is the general skill lurking, which can be triggered immediately even in a combat state. The stealth time is longer, and the skill CD is also longer.

After Shen Huai disappeared, he directly touched the back of the qigong master, and started with the soul-destroyer, shadow mark-assassination-backstab-heart-stab-dark sword!

In just one second, the four-hit combo passive was activated. The speed was so fast that only a few sharp blades could be heard, and the assassin was already invisible in the blink of an eye.

"Cang Yu made a move! He finished the four-hit combo of the shadow mark in an instant, and the qigong master lost 30% of his blood before he could react! Yushen is also in very good condition today, and the start is a perfect combo , as long as he is careful not to be touched by the qigong master, he can seize the opportunity to fight again!"

The moment Shen Huai shot, there was a burst of cheers from the auditorium, as if they were excited to witness the wonderful performance of the magician.

"However, Qigong masters have the ability to restore blood, and it is not easy to consume him."

After the qigong master released the control, he used Wu Qin Xi, and his blood volume recovered 20% in an instant, and almost all the blood that Shen Huai just knocked out was milked back.

Being able to play energy milk is also one of the reasons why qigong masters dominate the arena. Normally, Shen Huai would not be afraid to fight a protracted battle, but today it is not possible.

"The qigong master of the Galaxy is better at attacking the enemies on the right side. His hit rate of attacking the enemies on the right side is much higher than that on the left side, especially the lower left corner of the screen is his worst blind spot."

After Shen Huai disappeared, he adjusted his position and always stood behind the qigong master to the left. The qigong master blindly fired several qigong cannons around him, but he didn't attack the position behind his left. Shen Huai saw the opportunity and used a trick Soul, successfully immobilized him.

He pressed his fingers quickly, the little finger habitually pressed the shift key, the mechanical keyboard made a crisp rebound sound, and the piercing pain of the little finger immediately disrupted his rhythm.

Because the combo was half a beat slow, after the qigong master released the control, he used a small-scale qigong deterrent move and knocked out Shen Huai who had no time to retreat.

Shen Huai quickly backed away to open the distance, the pain from the poking of the little finger just now was even worse, and blood was faintly oozing from the seam of the broken nail.He frowned, and used his index finger to move carefully to avoid the skills, and the qigong master managed to dodge several times with ease.

"The ballistic speed of the Qigong Cannon is relatively fast, and it is a skill that is difficult to dodge in the game, but Cang Yu's positioning level is obviously better!"

The qigong master of Yinhe became irritated for a while. The prediction of the qigong cannon is the basic skill of the qigong master. He has always been confident in his prediction, but Shen Huai's position every time happened to be a very uncomfortable position for him. No matter how he moves, Shen Huai always occupies the area in the lower left corner of his screen, making him extremely uncomfortable!

Seeing that he couldn't touch Shen Huai, he directly accelerated and approached him, raising his hand to catch him.

It's just that Shen Huai's reaction was faster than his!

Just after this move, Shen Huai's soul-stirring hit him accurately.

He quickly circled back and marked the god of death, but this time his hand speed was significantly slower than the previous two times. When the Qigong master's control state ended, he only completed the three skills, and the condition for triggering the special effect of the combo was within the specified time. Finish the four-skill combo!

Everyone was shocked, Cang Yu had never missed the assassin's perfect four-hit combo, it was unbelievable that such a thing would happen to Cang Yu if he didn't complete the four-hit combo within the control time of Dementor!

The qigong master didn't have time to be curious, seeing the rare opportunity, he directly pressed the big move to thunderbolt the hall, Shen Huai didn't stop, and forced the damage to play the big move Blade Flurry!

The two zoomed in on each other, and it was obvious that the qigong master with high blood volume was more dominant. Shen Huai's qi and blood were only 10%, and the word "immunity" popped up directly on the top of the qigong master's head after eating it.

His redemption state was just like this, and the qigong master raised his blood volume to 50% with a five-animal show!

"Oh my god! Salvation! Cang Yu was beaten out of the redemption state in the first match of the ring! Cang Yu's previous 1V2 relied on redemption to save his life. This time the qigong master's blood volume is still 50% and his redemption state is gone. !"

Niu Niu couldn't believe it, how could that Cang Yu be redeemed so easily?

You must know that redemption is Shen Huai's life-saving skill. Without redemption, his fault tolerance rate will be greatly reduced. No matter how high the damage is, he is just a crispy job with only 10% blood volume and will die at the touch of a touch.What's more, the qigong master still has 50%, Shen Huai can't beat him in a second with a set of skills!

Could it be that the referee's red light before the game affected his game state?

Fengyue's waiting room was even more terrified. They knew Shen Huai better than the audience outside, and they had been teammates with Shen Huai for half a year. They had never seen Shen Huai fail to complete a four-hit combo within the control time!

First Shi Yi, then Shen Huai, what happened?

Zhou Ning couldn't help asking, "Fox, what happened to Shen Huai? Is there any other problem with the referee turning on the red light before the game?"

"You're overthinking." Song Xueyang categorically denied, his eyes followed the assassin on the screen, and he said softly, more like telling himself, "Shen Huai will win."

In just five words, everyone swallowed everything they wanted to say.

Shen Huai stared at the screen tightly, and after a second of redemption invincibility passed, the qigong master immediately threw out the ultimate move - killing the enemy in blood!

"If you fail in a four-hit combo, don't panic, finish your ultimate move. He also has a habit of using the ultimate ultimate move to kill enemies. If you trigger the redemption, he will definitely zoom in. If you use the clone to hide, one hit will definitely kill the enemy." kill!"

Qigong master's bloody killing will consume 30% of his own blood volume and cause high damage to the selected enemy. Because it is a locking skill, he cannot rely on moving to avoid it, but the enemy teammate can stand on the ballistic trajectory to help him Resist all damage from the skill. When using this skill in 6V6 team battles, you need to find the right direction.

But in the 1V1 arena, there is no need to worry about this problem at all. The target locked by the bloody enemy without teammates will undoubtedly die!

That's why he likes to use this move to give the enemy a fatal blow, which is both handsome and safe.

Shen Huai pressed the Profound Shadow clone at the same time, and an assassin clone that looked exactly the same suddenly appeared to help him resist the blow. The clone that had just been summoned was killed immediately, but Shen Huai also took the opportunity to use the stun control of Dementia, Then press the mark of death-backstab-blood blade-stab heart-dark sword!

The qigong master used up 30% of his blood volume to release the ultimate move. His current blood is only 20%. He was killed on the spot under the critical strike bonus of Shen Huai's set of death marks. Only then did he realize that Shen Huai The skill bonus in this game actually points to the shadow clone!

The audience was equally astonished. Shen Huai did show some skills of the Profound Shadow Clone during the live broadcast, but he didn't have any skills in the first few games of the group stage!

Yao Jun excitedly shouted beautifully, "Qigong master's bloody killing is a lock-on skill, which is very restraining for assassins. Cang Yu didn't use the shadow clone in the first half to make the enemy take it lightly. Qigong master can add blood to himself, yes It is very disadvantageous for Cang Yu to fight the war of attrition, so he deliberately made mistakes in consecutive moves, pretending that he was forced out of the redemption state, tricked the qigong master into using the ultimate move that requires blood to kill the enemy, and then instantly summoned the clone to resist the damage, Simultaneously brush the Reaper Mark to kill the enemy with four combos! This battle was fought beautifully!"

It wasn't until Yao Jun explained that everyone understood, and they wondered how Cang Yu could fail in the combo?It turned out that he was deliberately deceiving the skills of the qigong master!

There was a row of 666s in the live broadcast room. The arena was thrilling, witty and courageous. It was so popular!

【Yu Shen is so handsome, so handsome!He has good skills and a good brain, how did he come up with so many routines! 】

[Hahaha, have you been fooled?Our Feather God was born as an actor, and his acting skills are so high that he even deceives his own fans! 】

[This acting, tsk tsk, who said that Huai Shen's poor acting skills are a vase?Does your face hurt?Lick your face a hundred times a day! 】

[Huaishen: Sorry, my acting skills are poor, so I can only show off when playing games. 】

In the second round, Shen Huai simply gave up. He didn't have a redemption state, and his blood was less than 10%. It was difficult to achieve any results in the second round. The audience was impressed by his exquisite tactics. No blame.

Shen Huai pushed open the door, and there was a burst of cheers in the waiting room, and several children happily surrounded him, Zhou Ning couldn't help laughing, "God Yu, this fight was too beautiful, right?"

Hai Xing nodded again and again, "Tricking the qigong master to use up his own energy and blood, why didn't I think of this method? Seeing that you didn't even finish the move, I was scared to death. I thought... I was just thinking wildly!"

Shen Huai was noncommittal, he looked at Song Xueyang across the crowd, and a smile slowly appeared in his eyes.

If Song Xueyang hadn't been there, he would have lost today. This match wasn't the result of his own hard work, but a battle between the two of them.

Song Xueyang smiled slightly, as if everything was business as usual, Shen Huai felt so relieved without any words.
