Glory [e-sports]Ch65 - Beating up mandarin ducks

translator: xiin
editors: apricot & juurensha

Beating what? gw5cKR

Old G’s Chinese only allowed him to understand the first half, and he couldn’t understand the rest.

Since it involved beating something up, then, “Okay! Let’s beat up mandarin ducks!”

Yuan Ze didn’t say anything else after this sentence. He stared at the screen, and his black earring flashed in the light.

 

The shadow thief was really amusing.

Shadow thieves that were played well were really the most fun.

Although Close had taken a kill, and FTW now had a small advantage, the tides shifted again when Yuan Ze’s berserker warrior returned to the battlefield.

He used his ultimate move in the lane, and his hero’s physique enlarged by two sizes in its frenzy mode. It wore heavy armor and had a bloody long sword that could leave a long gouge in the ground; the sword emitted smoke with every basic attack.

This was a berserker warrior’s passive ability. After their ultimate move was used, their basic attacks would receive an attack bonus. vIdhS0

 

The blade split apart the death knight and shadow thief on the other side, forcing them to dodge to the side. They were no longer so close together.

Gary: “Go!”

  Ah1xnw

The hidden thief created a clone, and both figures charged at the death knight who’d dodged to the left at the same time. Close wasn’t anxious, and he switched to his agile form, using the movement speed bonus to avoid two attacks.

Old G didn’t think that he’d be able to hit him either. He just wanted to keep him busy!

 

Close saw through his intentions and spoke into his headset, “Watch out for Yuan Ze.” j95icd

Wei Xiao: “Got it.”

The shadow thief was much more flexible than the berserker warrior was. Wei Xiao went ahead and stepped into the bushes, evading the berserker warrior’s attack before lying in wait for an opportunity to attack.

Yuan Ze’s thin lips curved up slightly, and he manipulated the berserker warrior into the jungle zone. kxWX3J

 

The situation had changed dramatically!

The audience watching the game were so nervous that they were staring intently at the screen.

  Nk5Lm2

Originally, it had been top-lane against top-lane, jungler against jungler, but now, they’d switched positions!

Gary was caught up with Close.

Yuan Ze had focused on Quiet!

  Oi8KwP

In Glory’s general profession restraint, warriors and knights had a natural advantage over thieves. Although different talent specs had different countering effects, the death knight and berserker warrior could both suppress the squishy shadow thief and hidden thief and smear them into the ground.

 

In a situation where their farmed experience and money were the same, the shadow thief and hidden thief wouldn’t be able to gain the upper hand against them.

However, both of them were able to hold on! EJIBgw

Regardless of whether it was Gary or Wei Xiao, both of them were still stable despite their natural disadvantages!

 

This doubles game was once again split into two solo games, but the situation was now quite different.

  EHKoDp

Gary was very worthy of having come second place in the singles competition. His personal strength was beyond doubt, and he was one of the few top class players who could counter Close.

He used the weaker hidden thief and faced off against Close’s death knight, but it wasn’t in vain, and he wasn’t flustered at all. He created clones that could practically fly up to heaven, and even the audience that had god’s perspective couldn’t tell which was the real one and which one was the clone.

Close’s death knight was even more godly. aYVTIK

He very rarely used this kind of top-lane hero in 5v5 games, but as the king of solo, he had to have mastered this kind of solo talent spec.

There was no doubt that he used it very well. He switched seamlessly between the two forms and linked up the eight skills into an infinite series of combinations, dazzling the audience and causing them to exclaim, “Is this hand speed even possible?!”

 

The fight on that side was fierce and heated, and the jungle zone was also very thrilling. KXvCY4

At first, fans thought that Quiet was a weak spot that could easily be taken down by Yuan Ze. After that, Yuan Ze could pair up with Old G to kill off Close.

 

What surprised them was that Quiet didn’t lose out at all. Under the daddy berserker warrior’s suppression, his shadow thief was still having a good time and stirring up the winds and water.

The berserker warrior nickname was ‘the ten second real man’. It was a little weak after its ultimate move ended. vLiZde

Wei Xiao seized this opportunity to deal out a crazy amount of damage and wore down two thirds of Yuan Ze’s health.

 

Yuan Ze’s health bar showed that his health was in a seriously injured state, but Yuan Ze had no intentions of going back to recover at all. He locked in on the full health shadow thief like an old father who was playing with a child, kind and gentle…

The next second. yhv1nN

This daddy was a real daddy. One attack could stab people to death. DFMqwS

 

Wei Xiao had calculated the time for Yuan Ze’s ultimate move and had already been ready to retreat, but he hadn’t expected that Yuan Ze would be so fierce and didn’t even leave a 0.01 second delay. He linked up his ultimate move with a basic attack, executing all of it within an instant and aiming it at the invisible shadow thief.

Wei Xiao used a movement skill to avoid the main attack, but he couldn’t escape the blade that swept over.

  Gvplz2

He was at full health. Reasonably speaking, he shouldn’t die.

However…

Wei Xiao felt the same sense of uncertainty he felt when he played solo games against the captain.

  zaH4 V

F*ck!

There was poison.

When did Old Bandit Yuan get it!

  hMiQH3

Wei Xiao’s consciousness could keep up, but there was no way for the shadow thief to escape.

The berserker warrior’s blade swept over. It could empty out the shadow thief’s health at any second, but as Wei Xiao had expected, he was still left with a tiny sliver of health. However, the poison dealt continuous damage, and it only needed to tick once before the screen in front of him turned dark.

Quiet had been killed by Marshal!

  w2RlZe

It was really damned sinister.

Wei Xiao inhaled lightly. His hand was itchy: Yuan Zewas really worthy of being someone from the Team of Gods, how awesome.

On the other side, Lu Feng had also killed Gary. Although Old G died, he’d managed to gain enough time for Yuan Ze. t4oqK0

After killing Wei Xiao, Yuan Ze didn’t immediately go up to attack Close. Instead, he swept through the lower jungle area and forcibly snatched away a pile of resources, making up for the farming he’d lost out on due to his death.

 

The resurrection time was short in the early stages of the game. Wei Xiao soon returned back to the battlefield.

Lu Feng: “Hand it over to me.” dS8Fxd

Wei Xiao: “Let me try again.”

Lu Feng glanced at him from the side and said, “Mm.”

 

Chen Feng, who was standing behind them, gripped his notebook tightly. jhXtp

Letting Wei Xiao fight against Yuan Ze was great. Even if they lost this doubles match, FTW would still have earned big.

Yuan Ze practically represented the ceiling of the top-lane position in Glory. If Wei Xiao could use a thief and survive under his hands, it meant that nobody would be able to suppress his thief.

 

How crazy could a jungler player who nobody could suppress be? Just look at last year’s world champion Y1 as an example. vdB0md

 

The audience watching the fight were also very excited, “Can any big god explain for us? When did God Yuan obtain the poison?”

Although they were watching from the god’s perspective, the audience might end up ignoring some details when they focused on a particular hero.

Yuan Ze had managed to obtain poison during a time when even the audience wasn’t paying attention. How deep his schemes were could be seen from this point alone. fksNUu

 

Poison was a state.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Some jungle monsters would provide gold and experience, while others provided buffs.

Poison was one of those buffs. Once the poison jungle monster was killed, the player would get the poison buff. TGtjWN

There was a time limit on the poison, and it could only be used once.

 

Yuan Ze played like a kind and gentle old father, and it seemed as though he was hiding from the shadow thief’s attacks, losing two thirds of his health along the way. It seemed as though he wasn’t doing anything…

In fact, he’d been acting the whole damned time! wNHvS7

 

Lu Feng and Wei Xiao had collectively pulled an act on Old Dog Yuan, so he’d turned around and done the same to Wei Xiaoxiao.

 

After listening to the explanation, the audience sighed deeply, “Amazing. God Yuan is a film emperor whose career has been delayed by e-sports!” nOvdk2

 

At the start, Lu Feng and Wei Xiao had deliberately split up and played the doubles game like solo matches, stabbing Yuan Ze with a knife and sending him back home.

However, they actually planned to play doubles and not have two solo games in the doubles.

  94e3RQ

Yuan Ze was really tricky. He’d caught onto this point and started to split up the doubles competition.

You don’t want to solo?

I’ll force you to solo.

You want to cooperate? fRzOto

Have you asked the blade in my hand for permission?

Yuan Ze’s previous ‘beating up mandarin ducks’ wasn’t a joke.

He performed his duty perfectly and definitely wouldn’t allow this ‘pair of mandarin ducks’ to get together. t9DAYF

 

This was extremely detrimental to FTW.

Joking and messing around aside, in terms of current comprehensive strength, Gary was stronger than Wei Xiao.

Without evaluating their talent specs and simply basing it on experience, the difference between the two of them was more than just a small amount. 1YIZer

 

With Close as a comparison point, if Wei Xiao soloed against him, he had a win rate of 30%. For Gary, it was 40%, and with certain heroes, it might even be 50-60%!

This gap was directly related to why Gary could hold down Close while Wei Xiao was gradually getting beaten down by Yuan Ze.

  GakDCV

The berserker warrior had a natural advantage against the shadow thief.

Yuan Ze’s comprehensive experience was also superior to Wei Xiao’s.

 

In this doubles game, FTW was done for. ZkMHq0

Everyone thought this way, including Chen Feng who was focused on watching the game.

He wasn’t worried about losing, and he even hoped that Wei Xiao would lose.

This kid had a very strong temperament. Letting him lose might be even more exciting.

  7ENuvr

It was just…

Everyone felt that FTW would lose, but the two people in the arena didn’t seem to think so!

Chrysanthemum Garden.

 

What was this conclusion based on? XLHy0V

Were they going to lose just because their opponent was strong? Or because they’d been suppressed? Or were they going to lose because the situation was one-sided?

Impossible!

Wei Xiao might not know how it was for anyone else, but in any case, he didn’t have the word ‘lose’ in his brain at all!

  ijLGdS

He’d died three times. Due to the berserker warrior’s control skill, the shadow thief had no way to link up its skills, and a shadow thief who couldn’t link up its skills couldn’t use its light arcs.

His main damage dealing skill had been targeted, and Wei Xiao was really feeling uncomfortable.

 

Wei Xiao suddenly said, “Captain, can you help me get an immunity buff?” le3WTV

Immunity and poison were the same. They were buffs that could be gained from jungle monsters, and after obtaining it and using it at the right time, a player could avoid control skills for two seconds.

Wei Xiao wanted those two seconds of immunity to avoid the berserker warrior’s control skill and stack up the shadow thief’s linked skills.

He wanted to fight back!

  NtpKfn

The Chen Feng who’d heard their conversation practically blurted the words out without thinking, “No way!”

It was too impulsive.

The game had already dragged on for 20 minutes. The later it went, the longer the resurrection time after death would be.

Wei Xiao definitely couldn’t die again. If he fell, then Yuan Ze and Gary would be able to push all the way to their resurrection crystal in one go! gX4Ljq

At the moment, their only hope was to play steadily and find a chance to break through and attack Old G…

Lu Feng: “Come.”

Chen Feng: “…………” tdyOrn

He was really going to help him get the immunity buff!

So what if he got it? Even if it was Close’s shadow thief, it also wouldn’t be possible to kill Yuan Ze based on the difference in their farming.

 

Alright, fine. Mother Hen Chen wasn’t going to worry about it––it was just a free matching game, and it didn’t matter if they lost. They could let loose and play around! WtEeMm

 

Yuan Ze was very vigilant. Although he’d been suppressing Wei Xiao the whole time, he hadn’t taken the situation lightly for a single second.

For a full 20 minutes, on the surface it seemed that Yuan Ze was more than equal to the task, manipulating the berserker warrior like a buddha that was pressing down on Quiet’s little head.

But in fact, only he knew how difficult it had been for him over these past 20 minutes. z ogrw

Just a little bit of carelessness, and this little monkey would jump up and bite him.

Yuan Ze didn’t doubt that Wei Xiao wanted to fight back. This kid hadn’t settled down for even half a second.

 

However, it was really interesting. HqItYX

Yuan Ze really hoped that this match could last for another 20 minutes.

 

Due to his vigilance, he’d always paid attention to Wei Xiao’s state.

If the shadow thief wanted to fight back, he definitely needed the immunity buff. A0Pg1W

Yuan Ze wouldn’t give Wei Xiao the chance to touch the immunity buff jungle monster.

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Wei Xiao also didn’t try to enter the jungle area. He didn’t even show any intention of heading there, continuing to fight against Yuan Ze and trade skills and attacks. He seemed very invested.

  zxTui1

Until Old G called out, “Close is fighting the immunity monster.”

Yuan Ze was surprised, “F*ck!”

 

In that instant, Wei Xiao used up two displacement skills and a flash. He flew over a distance of 800 meters and arrived near Close before Old G could rush over. vRWnfl

As a maniac at controlling health volumes, Close had controlled the health of the jungle monster to extreme levels.

Wei Xiao didn’t need to waste a single bit of his energy levels and could directly use an auto attack to obtain the immunity buff.

 

Gary was too close to them. In order to open up the field of vision for his team, he’d exposed himself and couldn’t run. GwpN2j

Yuan Ze rushed over. He definitely couldn’t let Wei Xiao kill Old G. As soon as Old G died, this game would…

 

Wei Xiao was actually waiting for Yuan Ze to rush over.

Kill Old G? hZ67bj

That was too unambitious.

 

The shadow thief that had been suppressed for 20 minutes was like a streak of crimson as it rushed over. Both of the attacks from its first skill landed on the berserker warrior, followed by a basic attack and the third skill…

Yuan Ze reacted extremely quickly and had already started up his ultimate move, charging straight towards Wei Xiao’s face. wtcIhN

Wei Xiao didn’t retreat at all. After activating the immunity buff, he continued to use the small soldiers to link up his moves.

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

In the training room, Chen Feng sucked in a breath while watching this scene.

Wei Xiao’s hands were very good looking. They were slender like a piano player’s, and they moved over the keyboard as fast as streaks of light, flashes of sharp, sword-like light. a8 Nsk

 

One second, two seconds.

The shadow thief’s energy reserve was filled up, and the light arcs exploded over half the screen. Based on the energy the shadow thief had accumulated, there was no doubt that he’d brushed out eight light arcs!

  dFL3zS

The Red Sky Blade’s crimson cape was flying in the air, and the shadow thief within it was cold and merciless. There were only the brilliant light arcs that covered the sky, taking away the enemy’s blood and life!

 

At the moment of death, the berserker warrior was able to land a hit on the shadow thief.

However, Wei Xiao had already killed Yuan Ze! Fkf 8Y

The two of them died together!

 

What was even more deadly was that the shadow thief’s light arcs had also swept over Old G. At this time, he was only left with half of his health.

The death knight who hefted up its blade and rushed over was a real death knight. f3CVZw

––A knight that gave death to its enemies.

 

Victory!

Close ended the game. QqzWVc

 

After exiting the game, Yuan Ze was still staring at the screen.

Gary yelled out ruefully, “Damn it!”

  udic3q

He turned his head to look at his own captain and froze.

This scene was even more shocking to Old G than losing the game.

 

The scarlet ‘Defeat’ that flashed on the screen was reflected in Yuan Ze’s eyes. EwuFdL

It was as though a black flame was burning.

It was the long lost enthusiasm that had now been thoroughly ignited!
