Fang Rui entered the field happily, his steps brisk, almost as if there were springs in the soles of his shoes. On the other side of the battlefield, combat thief John Thrall, a player on the American team, looked at the opponent information printed on the screen and frowned deeply.
Not a magician, not a sharpshooter, not one of the most powerful members of the Chinese team as they had guessed before the game.
This was not beyond his expectation. After all, two people fighting 1.3 people was really not worth using those experts to play. However, this opponent...
The map was loaded, the character was loaded, and before I had time to clearly see the refresh position, the qigong master's trash talk came out like the famous talking rain in front of me.
Boundless Sea: Little thief, are you scared? Is it a lot of pressure to be so far behind in scores?
Boundless Sea: You can't fool me with your tricks! You have been fighting as a thief for five years, and I have been fighting as a thief for five years. I can tell at a glance where there is a trap and where there is a fake move!
Boundless Sea: Why are you playing with me on such a flat map? Is it uncomfortable to play on a map that is not suitable? They didn't consider you when they chose the map, right?
Boundless Sea: You are going to compete in the team competition later, right? I would say save some energy, why don't you hurry up and gg?
[System Announcement] Chinese team players are asked to pay attention to their words and correct their attitude during the game.
Fang Rui:......
"Hahahahaha!" Pan Lin was already gloating and laughing: "Fang Rui really set a record! Audience friends, it's not Huang Shaotian, but Fang Rui. It's Fang Rui's World Invitational Tournament trip with the Chinese team.
On, the referee’s warning was triggered for the first time!”
"There were people who speculated before whether Huang Shaotian would become the first man to change the rules of the World Invitational Tournament after changing the rules of the domestic league." Li Yibo couldn't help laughing:
"Considering that no team has complained about trash talk so far - yes, the Russian team in the quarter-finals did not complain, and the Korean team complained about Lord Grim's qualifications - everyone's expectations may be difficult to achieve.
.
But now, Fang Rui has been warned by the referee for trash talking, which can be regarded as a different kind of meeting everyone's expectations."
Barrage:23333333
Barrage: Dim Sum did a great job! Setting a record! You are worthy of coming from the Blue Rain training camp!
Barrage: I suspect you are in Inner Blue Rain?
All kinds of weird laughter, complaints, and arguments filled the screen in an instant. Among the colorful fonts, a particularly simple black barrage slipped quietly. If it weren't for Pan Lin's quick eyesight, he would have almost ignored it:
Barrage:...Thank you? I didn’t expect this kind of thing...
After receiving the referee's warning, Fang Rui did not dare to talk nonsense anymore. And although the person he was teasing, John Thrall, the owner of Shadow Leap, did not refute, it did not cause any ripples in his heart.
Five years.
Five years as a professional player.
Five Years of a Thief.
Five years of my own, five years of my opponent...
He himself has gone from rookie, bench player, rotation player, to main player, captain, championship team captain, and runner-up team captain step by step. Although the journey along the way has not been without hardships, he has always been treated well by those around him;
As for the opponent, based on the information collected before the game, he went from being a challenger to a youth training camp, then continuing his training at a different youth training camp? Changing professions? Changing professions again, debuting as a trap thief, and soon becoming a regular with the team captain.
Partner together to become the number one thief in China...
Then, change the team and change the profession. In addition to the old captain retiring and being ostracized in the team? Just because of a reason that is so ridiculous that it can only be the truth:
The new team has no money.
No money? You can’t afford a Rogue account, so you can only make do with a Qigong master...
Is it so ridiculous? But none of the professional players who felt the same could laugh.
Thinking of this, even though they are opponents and separated by oceans, John Thrall couldn't help but use the translation system of the World Invitational Tournament to chat with the player on the opposite side.
Shadow Jump: Do you like rogues?
Boundless Sea: I like it!
Yes, this qigong master player’s love for thieves is truly engraved in his bones.
He loved it so much that in the game against the Russian team thieves, he could still identify the location and type of traps at a glance even though he was dozens of bodies away and across the dark and narrow spiral staircase;
He loves it so much that even if he becomes a qigong master, there are still strong traces of thieves in his operating and moving habits...
Shadow Leap: Do you still want to play Rogue?
Boundless Sea:???
Shadow Leap: If you want to use it...
I can make recommendations for you and help you introduce teams. With your ability, many teams will be interested...
With the referee staring at him, he didn't dare to say the next half of the sentence, and couldn't say any more. The shadow jumped across the refresh point, along the edge of the pulpit, and ran straight towards the opponent; at the same time, Boundless Sea also jumped out of the refresh point.
He clicked, his body swayed, and he ran towards the center of the pulpit, away from the place where the shadows jumped.
Boundless Sea: What, you want to trick me off the cliff?
Boundless Sea: I won't be fooled! If you want to fight, come to the middle to fight! Otherwise, you are in close combat and I have long-range combat. Only I can fight you, and you can't fight me!
The temptation failed.
John Thrall sighed and manipulated the character to follow.
The inherent habit of thieves, or as the Chinese put it, is to think hard about how to trick others. If you dig too much, you will naturally be extremely sensitive to other people's actions to trick you.
Of course, you must expose his thoughts on a public channel, which is closer to trash talk, or a psychological attack tactic.
But this doesn’t bother me!
John Thrall gritted his teeth. I am a combat thief, not a trap thief. Relatively speaking, I am not so dependent on terrain - it is good to be able to use traps to create a strong burst, but if I cannot bury traps, I will still beat you!
I am the captain of the runner-up team of the American Professional League and the captain of the last championship team. With all the singles players in the United States gathered together, I dare say that I can rank among the top three - in a head-to-head confrontation, who is afraid of whom?
Click-click, click-click, two pairs of cloth boots stepped on the stone, and they landed exactly the same without making a sound. The two sides approached the two corners of the river from the pulpit - Boundless Sea from the right corner, and Shadow Jump from the left corner - each drew a diagonal line.
Line, go straight to the center.
The thief and the qigong master both looked at each other intently, just walking on their way, seemingly not even glancing at each other. When they were eight steps closer, they both stopped and changed direction——
The two afterimages are almost connected in a straight line. The shadow jumps and holds the dagger tightly. The Boundless Sea Mirror Moon Gloves are full of energy, and the path is straight, rushing towards the opponent!
brush.
brush.
Boundless Sea stretched his left palm forward, and was about to hit the tip of the dagger. Before he could make a move, the two characters tilted their bodies at the same time, fell to the right, threw themselves to the ground, and rolled - regardless of the character's profession, just looking at the general movements of these two characters.
, almost perfectly replicating the opponent's movement.
At the same time, Boundless Sea waved his right palm lightly, and an invisible air blade flew through the air, exploding a ray of light on the thief's screen; while the shadow jumped and pressed to the ground between his fingers, and silently flashed.
There was a flash.
"..."
"..."
Both commentators were speechless for a moment. Li Yibo reacted quickly, struggled to press the pickup, and took over the conversation:
"Fang Rui's movements are still so characteristic of thieves! I hope they won't have such a tacit understanding next time——"
Before he finished speaking, Shadow Leap and Boundless Sea both stood up, each made a feint, and leaned their bodies exactly the same again, crossing each other.
