Glory [e-sports]-Chapter 227: He couldn’t figure out how these accounts were calculated!

Kim Sung-hyun withered the moment he saw Wei Xiao take the shadow thief.

He didn’t need to think about it anymore; he wouldn’t be able to see his own team’s support for the entire game.

Proud Flower Kim thought back to three years ago and the fear he’d felt when he’d been under Captain Yan’s control.

They were both supports, both captains, and both his seniors, but the gap between Yan Jiang and Li Heran was as high as Mt. Han!

Getting accustomed to Li Heran’s gentle care, then falling into Yan Jiang’s hands again was enough to make Kim Sung-hyun forget how to play.

He tentatively locked in the storm hunter, very conscious that he would be looking after himself.

The remaining lucky player in Group B, Little Fatty, spoke up cautiously, “What should I use?”

Wei Xiao: “What are you good at?”

Little Fatty: “……”

Wei Xiao: “Hm?”

How would Little Fatty dare to say that the talent he was best with was the shadow thief!

Even if he had a provincial level shadow thief, even if he was honored as a jungler king amongst normal players, even if his shadow thief was enough for him to carry girls and win, would he dare to say such things here?!

Saying that he was good at the shadow thief in front of FTW’s inheritor of the shadow thief?

If he said this, Little Fatty would end up nailed to the pillar of shame as soon as Glory’s Mic Explosion King released the voice chats!

His brain shifted gears 18 times, and he said politely, “Fire mage.”

It was an entry level hero in Glory. It was easy to get started with and was loved by the girls.

Wei Xiao: “Cute.”

He was thinking of the jumping and bouncing Lulu fire mage, but how could Little Fatty know that? He was flattered, so much so that he couldn’t even hold the keyboard!

The corner of Kim Sung-hyun’s mouth twitched. Be a little more self-aware, hey, you’re someone’s boyfriend!

Yan Jiang took the soul warlock.

Needless to say, this move of his instantly attracted Wei Xiao’s attention. “Is Captain Yan serious!”

Yan Jiang: “……”

Wei Xiao: “Are you following me? Do you know how to play the shadow thief?”

Gary interjected, “The death knight combo is simpler. Captain Yan, follow me!”

This lame Chinese with a Northerner accent could really come from no one else.

Yan Jiang: “Just playing around.”

Wei Xiao: “That’s alright, using the soul warlock is great. If you really can’t, then just attach to the fire mage and play a mid-laner.”

Yan Jiang: “Mm.”

Kim Sung-hyun: “…………”

To hell with your ‘mm’. The little children might not know, but how could he not know?!

Was there any talent that Yan Jiang couldn’t play?!

Or, in other words, was there any talent in Glory that Yan Jiang hadn’t studied extensively?

Although the soul warlock was a new talent, the essence of this talent was to make use of other talents’ skills.

For Yan Jiang, this didn’t require any adapting at all. He could use them all directly.

During their days in the Team of Gods, Yan Jiang had never signed up for the single and doubles competitions, but it wasn’t because he couldn’t play.

It had been because he was too lazy to play!

Kim Sung-hyun inexplicably felt a little lucky.

This was good; luckily, he wasn’t in Group A. Otherwise, he would have been killed off by this support-jungler pair.

It was also good that Lu Feng was playing jungler in Group A. At least Little Lunatic Wei would hold back a bit.

After that, he entered the game matching screen and saw the other side’s line-up as well as the common skills they were carrying (the casual player competition used the blind talent selection mode).

Wei Xiao: “???”

Old G: “???”

Kim Sung-hyun: “…………”

The other side also had a death knight and a shadow thief, but the one with the jungler skill was the death knight, while the shadow thief had taken the hunting skill.

Yuan Ze was the death knight, and Lu Feng was the shadow thief.

Old G was stunned. “What’s this situation? My captain is playing jungler?”

Wei Xiao exploded, “Old G, did you do this on purpose?!”

Gary: “???”

What did I do on purpose?

Wei Xiao: “You deliberately tricked me into playing jungler! You purposely lured the tiger away from the mountain! You took advantage of the opportunity and stole into other people’s homes!”

Based on Old G’s Chinese level, it was a little difficult for Old G to understand these words.

Wei Xiao then questioned him again in English, “You must have discussed it with your captain beforehand. Tricking my captain to go to the top lane, while you also play top-laner, so that you two can solo without a care for anyone else!”

Gary instantly cried out at this injustice, “I didn’t, I’m not, don’t talk nonsense!”

Wei Xiao: “Then why is Marshal playing jungler?”

He deliberately used Yuan Ze’s ID. Firstly, there was a lucky player present, and he might scare him if he called Yuan Ze ‘Old Bandit Yuan.’ Another reason was just for emphasis.

Marshal had once said, “Laozi only loves playing top-lane in this life and will only play top-lane. I’d rather retire than play any other position.”

He hadn’t retired yet, but Marshal had ‘changed his mind’!

If Wei Xiao hadn’t been convinced about Yuan Ze’s bad habit, then he wouldn’t have given up his top-lane position to Gary.

As everyone knew, the top-laner position was the solo position in a 5v5 game.

If it wasn’t a special situation, then generally, it would end up with two people hanging out in the top lane. Wei Xiao kept sighing over how he couldn’t be together with his captain. This time, they were really staggered apart; it made him even more angry!

Poor Old G. He had probably never considered that his captain would break his own oath like this.

Group A had originally been very strong. They had three solo kings and could suppress the other side by playing casually.

Now…

Forget it. Captain Lu and God Xie might not be able to carry the team!

Wei Xiao scolded Old G to his face, and Old G couldn’t do anything about it––when it came to this, he was the one who was getting the better end of the deal.

Although he wasn’t facing off with Yuan Ze in his lane, being able to play against Close was an even happier situation.

He’d lost in the singles, and it was time to get even in the 5v5 game.

Old G coaxed Wei Xiao, “It’s all right, you can come provide support for the top lane more often.”

Wei Xiao grew even angrier. “I’m supposed to go to the top lane and help you beat up my captain?”

Gary: “Cough……”

Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely kill your captain.”

Gary: “…………”

He couldn’t figure out how these accounts were calculated!

After entering the game, Wei Xiao’s murderous aura was surging, and the speed at which he cleared the jungle was really shocking.

The director gave a shot of the whole game, providing a panoramic view of the entire canyon.

In Group B, Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang had their own tacit understanding. They flew through the jungle creeps, and finished clearing half the jungle zone within moments, then turned to go to the bottom jungle zone.

Group A was a different style altogether. Yuan Ze huffed and puffed as he killed off his red buff, and after killing it off with much difficulty, he took a detour before going to kill the stone man. This navigation alone made people unable to bear looking at it directly!

Seriously speaking, there wasn’t much that a professional player couldn’t play.

Although they had strong tendencies, for example, ADC’s generally wouldn’t play mid-laner mages, and mid-lane mages generally wouldn’t try to play ADC.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t play those talents, but that the way they thought about the game was different. One required them to support the lanes on both sides, while the other needed to do whatever they could to survive and develop. There was a big difference in game consciousness, which wasn’t a big deal in a casual game, but this kind of thing grew into a big gap when it came to professional competitions.

For example, Teacher Yuan; the death knight was a hero he was good at. He knew all of its skills like the back of his hand, and could avoid skills and maximize DPS when jungling, but… his mentality for this position was wrong.

In the professional arena, games were calculated by the second. For him to make this detour meant that Little Lunatic Wei was already one jungle creep ahead of him.

It was also fortunate that the shadow thief didn’t dare to fight against the death knight in the early stages, because otherwise, Wei Xiao would’ve come around to find him and mess with him a long time ago.

Of course, it still wasn’t too late now…

By the time Group B finished clearing all their jungle zones, Yuan Ze had only just started working on his bottom jungle.

Group B team chat.

Mid-laner Little Fatty wailed, “I… I can’t hold on…”

He’d tried his best, but that was God Xie across from him!

No matter how hard he tried, he wouldn’t be able to resist against Xie He!

Xie He was using a new mid-laner talent that had just been released. This new mage, which he hadn’t used more than a few times, was abusing the fire mage until it had been left in a sorry state.

Wei Xiao: “Coming.”

He’d gank Xie He first. In any case, Yuan Ze wouldn’t be able to provide support.

First Blood broke out before he could arrive!

Had God Xie killed mid-laner Little Fatty?

Had God Kim killed the group of two in the bottom lane in a two against one fight?

None of the above.

Close had solo killed Gary!

When the system announcement sounded out, the applause from the live audience rang out like thunder, and the live broadcast screens were covered in a stretch of ahhhhhh’s.

First Blood had gone to Close.

Glory’s great demon king lived up to his name!

Gary, who’d given out First Blood in the singles competition, gave out First Blood once again.

Gary felt very aggrieved.

Wei Xiao: “Routine operations.”

Gary: “…………”

He’d forgotten that his teammate wasn’t really his teammate!

For this, it really wasn’t that Wei Xiao hadn’t saved him, but that Old G himself had lost his head.

He was using the death knight, and Lu Feng was using the shadow thief.

As everyone knew, the death knight was a daddy who could suppress the shadow thief in a fight in the early stages. Gary was eager to prove himself, and he wanted to kill the great demon king to indulge himself first before worrying about anything else.

If he didn’t play more fiercely at the start, then he wouldn’t be able to play at all when the shadow thief picked up his light arcs later on.

There was nothing wrong with Gary’s train of thought. Besides, Yuan Ze was being deadly slow at clearing the jungle and wouldn’t be able to provide support. As long as he seized the right opportunity, he would be able to kill Lu Feng.

And then… the great demon king seized the right opportunity to catch him instead, and he was sent to the fountain in tears.

Wei Xiao’s thought process was, “No way, I have to go kill Yuan Ze, too.”

Old G: “???”

Wei Xiao: “If the captain can kill you when you’re playing death knight, then I can also kill the other side’s death knight.”

They were both shadow thieves, both death knights.

Lu Feng killed Gary.

Wei Xiao also wanted to kill Yuan Ze!

Gary wanted to go into seclusion. “You guys… you guys…” Are inhuman!

Close took First Blood, and it wasn’t just Wei Xiao who let it get to his head.

Xie He was only a few seconds behind him. He went under the tower and killed Group B’s Little Fatty. The Little Fatty fell to the ground, but he was very pleased, his mouth stretched in a happy smile––he’d persisted for so long and hadn’t sent out First Blood. It was enough for him to boast about for a year!

The director also had a sense of humor and really showed him on the camera.

The audience in the live broadcast room helped him provide commentary, “Thank you to the competition committee, the organizers, the great demon king, God G, and thank the heavens and earth for the mid-lane soldiers that allowed me to survive until now…”

After Xie He killed Little Fatty, Kim Sung-hyun stopped taking it easy on the girls. He killed the two of them on his own and took a double kill.

Not only were the two girls not sad at being killed by the proud flower, they were even especially excited and praised Kim Sung-hyun in their team chat.

Finally, the cameras all shifted to show the two junglers.

Wei Xiao had given up on providing Little Fatty with support. If he was unable to catch and kill Yuan Ze in the jungle zone, then things wouldn’t be right in the world.

Not to mention, he wasn’t alone. He had an immortal support beside him.

There was no suspense. The shadow thief used Shadow Attack to charge in and met the death knight!

Yuan Ze sucked in a breath of air.

In this life, he’d always been the existence that made other people’s backs feel cold. Now, he had a profound experience of being on the other side.

Helpless, powerless, and feeling a little f*cking bit of subtle grievance.

The holographic projection focused on this wave of close combat.

At the moment when the soul warlock hit Yuan Ze, the shadow thief had already started up his combo. Wei Xiao had cleared out the jungle quickly, and he was a bit higher than Yuan Ze in both experience and level. Yan Jiang’s precise control was so accurate that he didn’t need to think about anything and just had to deal out explosive DPS!

Yuan Ze lost half his health in the blink of an eye.

The old bandit was still good at surviving. He was using his light form, which was comparatively more flexible. He barely managed to block Wei Xiao’s basic attack and quickly retreated.

If he wasn’t up against Yan Jiang, then he would really have had a hope of running away.

Unfortunately, a soul blade was there to block his retreat. The shadow thief shifted position to appear right in front of his face, giving up the opportunity for a back stab. Although there was no critical hit, Wei Xiao had control over the damage he dealt, and it was nothing for him to take away the death knight’s life.

System Announcement––

FTW.Quiet killed L&P.Marshal.

Killing quickly, simply, and indiscriminately!

Yuan Ze: “……”

His liver hurt from anger at the two dogs on the other side!

The commentators gave a round of praise for the cooperation between Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang just now.

In fact, there was no need to say it. Everyone could see clearly that this tacit understanding was godly. Those who knew the situation, knew that it was two strangers from different teams. Those who didn’t know would think that this was an immortal jungler support pairing!

The fans in the live broadcast studio quickly told the story of what had happened during the new singles performance competition a while back.

Wei Xiao’s instances of ‘using then discarding’ Captain Yan were too numerous to be counted!

“Speaking of which… Captain Yan is using a soul warlock!”

“The soul warlock with the shadow thief!”

“When they get to level six, will he use his attachment on Wei Xiao?”

“Could it be that we’ll be able to see three shadow thieves in this game?”

“Holy shit, I’ve seen nine light arcs and eight light arcs, but have you guys seen three shadow thieves brush out light arcs together?”

“Wake up! As a support, it’ll be a miracle for Yan Jiang to be able to use the shadow thief at all, let alone light arcs.”

“Um……”

“Can Yan Jiang use the shadow thief?”

FTW’s old fans shouted out loudly, “Yes!”

The rest of the audience was more conservative, “Can he brush out six light arcs?”

The old fans were bold and direct, “We don’t know!”

“To hell with that!”

They shouldn’t overthink it. Although the soul warlock could use the skills of the target they were attached to, it would be weakened by half. If he wanted to brush out seven arcs, then he would have to have the ability to brush out eight arcs. In order to brush out eight light arcs, then it would have to be Close using the soul warlock!
