Chapter 1919 1919: Art is Explosive
Of course, despite the bickering and fighting, if they want to win the match, everyone still has to follow Fearless's arrangements.
After all, no one wants to go against money.
In terms of strength, Fearless can only be considered average, but strategically, everyone trusts this guy quite a bit.
On the side of the Holy Hall team, Uranus patiently arranged the next round of players and said: "Remember, killing them is not the goal. The goal is to gradually find their weaknesses and fundamentally solve them."
"Understood!"
The members of the Pantheon nodded in agreement.
Don't underestimate the fact that the Chaos team is not strong in one-on-one battles; they are quite skilled in team fights. If they can't find their opponent's weaknesses, it won't be easy to hold off Wang Yu while trying to kill others in the final match.
In the fourth round, Ming Du took the stage.
As soon as he was teleported to the arena, before the match even began, Ming Du directly chose to surrender, leaving the players from the opposing Pantheon completely taken aback; the match had ended before it even started.
"Dammit! Is this how we play?"
Seeing that the fourth match also ended without a fight, the audience finally couldn't hold back anymore and started to complain, demanding refunds.
Whether it's a domestic professional league or a world-class professional league, the most important event is definitely the finals.
Everyone spends so much money on tickets just to watch an exciting match, but these two teams are just giving up on each other... Can this even be called a match?
People came to see a fight, not to watch you just stand there and then leave, okay?
Even the judges and referees couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but reprimand the two teams: "You two teams are going too far. If this continues with the surrenders, are we even going to play this match? Whoever surrenders in the next round will be judged to lose the entire match!"
Losing the entire match...
It seems that the behavior of both teams surrendering in the finals has had a rather negative impact, prompting the referees to resort to the heavy-handed penalty of declaring the entire match a loss.
This was almost tantamount to nullifying the surrender command.
In fact, surrendering in a match is quite normal, but in such an important event as the finals, where viewership and attendance are extremely high, surrendering at will is indeed quite disheartening.
What matters most is satisfying the audience; who cares about your tactics?
Moreover, the spirit of competitive sports is to rather die than surrender; surrendering at every turn is not in line with the spirit of competition.
"No problem, no problem!"
Under the pressure of the full-match loss, both teams had no choice but to compromise.
The match continued. In the fifth round, Fearless took to the field personally.
On the Pantheon side, the player coming up was also an old acquaintance of Wang Yu, the archer Apollo.
Actually, Apollo can no longer be considered just an archer; he can only be called a shooter because this guy uses throwing knives instead of bows and arrows or crossbows.
From the perspective of weapons, archers are currently divided into four categories.
Bows, crossbows, guns, and throwing knives.
Longbows are the traditional archer weapons, with high attack and shooting speed, but the longest range.
Crossbows are relatively compact, with average shooting speed and attack, but extremely high accuracy.
Guns are rather niche; they have decent range and accuracy, but slower shooting speed and far less mobility compared to bows and crossbows, so firearms are usually only used as secondary weapons.
Throwing knives are quite special; players of this style have clearly departed from the realm of archers, closer to assassins.
Besides having a shorter range, they can also use various skills to engage in combat, making them far more agile than bows and crossbows.
Archers are originally agility-based characters, and with high agility and various skills, throwing knife users resemble a hybrid of archers and assassins.
In most cases, throwing knife users are also referred to as rangers.
As a support class, Fearless's combat power is inherently low, and fighting against a ranger designed specifically for PvP is indeed a bit demanding.
...
Fearless's combat style is quite distinct; everyone knows this guy excels at self-destruction. As long as they keep their distance from Fearless, they basically have no problems.
Although Apollo's range is not as good as that of a traditional archer, it is definitely longer than that of a magic-type class, making him quite a counter to Fearless.
From the record, Fearless is truly impressive; as a mere support priest, he has somehow managed to remain undefeated in several one-on-one matches.
It's one thing for Wang Yu to be unbeatable in one-on-one matches since he is a master martial artist and a combat career, but Fearless, as a support class, achieving such results in an S-level professional league is quite terrifying.
Because of this, despite Apollo's professional advantage over Fearless, he is still wary of Fearless's self-destructive playstyle.
As soon as the match began, Apollo wasted no time and immediately distanced himself from Fearless, throwing knives at him with all his might, employing a standard kiting strategy.
Fearless, of course, is not the type to sit and wait.
Facing Apollo's attacks, Fearless casually raised his staff, and a golden light enveloped him.
Holy Shield!
"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"
With the Holy Shield in an invulnerable state, he definitely wouldn't take damage, and only extremely high-level judgments could slightly block it.
Archers are not high-judgment classes to begin with, and throwing knives have even weaker judgments, so they couldn't even manage the most basic block against Fearless.
Watching Apollo's throwing knives, Fearless used a flight spell to float up toward Apollo.
The city street scene was just an intersection; it wasn't too large... Although Apollo, as an archer, had far superior mobility compared to Fearless, its effectiveness in this small map was not very pronounced.
Moreover, since Fearless was in the air, it was also quite difficult for Apollo to create distance.
As the two circled each other, Fearless had already flown above Apollo, pointing his staff at him and unleashing a white beam of light.
Martyrdom!
A unique skill of priests, its effect is similar to taunting but can be used in both directions; it can draw the target's attacks to oneself and also teleport oneself next to the target.
In a flash of light, Fearless teleported right in front of Apollo, and a faint holy light emanated from Fearless's body.
"Just as I thought! Is he going to self-destruct again?"
Seeing Fearless using such a despicable tactic again, the audience couldn't help but wipe their foreheads in cold sweat for Apollo.
After playing games for so long, everyone had never seen a player handle the self-destructive style so masterfully.
Martyrdom and Reckoning... These skills exemplify the self-sacrificing and heroic spirit of priests saving the world, but using them in Fearless's hands... it was simply hard to watch.
Even the game designers watching the match felt a bit regretful about having designed these two skills.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Fearless exploded on the spot, creating a blank area within a 500 range.
However, to everyone's astonishment, Apollo stood unharmed right in front of Fearless.
"This... how is this possible?"
Seeing that Apollo was not killed by Fearless's explosion, the members of the Chaos team all showed expressions of surprise.
What do you think?
