Glory [e-sports]Ch71.2 - As long as the resurrection crystal was still there, the game wasn’t over yet!

translator: xiin
editors: apricot & juurensha

The entire team, particularly Bai Cai and Yue Wenle, couldn’t help but look over at their captain. 3d2nU1

 

They’d been with Close for a whole season and were too aware of how reticent he was.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

He never talked nonsense during the game and only ever spoke to give key instructions.

  j6UTli

Previously, the Mic Explosion King had exposed FTW’s team chat many times, and everyone’s evaluation of FTW was: Serious.

 

Indeed. They could all feel the FTW’s seriousness from their team chat.

Nobody spoke any nonsense, and everyone was focused on the game. Other than giving situation updates and sending signals, there was no excess communication.

dbH6nJ

This wasn’t a bad thing. In the old Team of Gods voice chat, they’d taken down one championship after another while remaining serious and silent.

 

However, today, Close had actually given such a ‘playful’ suggestion.

  A9wzRN

Wei Xiao returned to normal instantly and stopped just short of smacking his own forehead, “Oh yeah, why should we wait for later? We’ll try it right now!”

Bai Cai & Ning Zhehan & Yue Wenle: “???”

 

Wei Xiao felt like it was more and more reasonable the more he thought about it, “Old Yue, how is 1v2 a big deal? You’re a frost hunter, your farming isn’t behind, and you have a long range. Why are you afraid of the other side’s launcher?” Jl2hgI

He continued, “Little Ning, your spirit mage is an assassin mage. Use the shadow form and burst out with your ultimate move. Where’s the energy you had when you killed the top third ranked player in the world? Take it back out and kill him!”

 

Bai Cai hurried to answer before he even started, “Laozi is just a healer.”

The demonic shaman was able to keep Close occupied by relying on its powerful control skills and ability to repair the tower. As a holy priest, what could he do? H9UsyB

He couldn’t control others and keep them occupied. Was he supposed to sing (heal) to himself?

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Wei Xiao chuckled, “Our defense towers are all broken anyway. Those who are barefoot can’t be afraid of those who wear shoes. Since they have their top-jungler linkage, we’ll also do a top-jungler linkage and kill them all!”

Bai Cai: “……” q80y5G

Could you please stop laughing like a villain?!

Lu Feng: “Sure.”

Bai Cai: “…………”

What could he say? Really, what could he say? Both daddies wanted to charge up, so he could only rush up and warm up his voice! HfPTZu

 

The 16 teams in the banquet hall, the two commentators on the stage, and the tens of thousands of spectators stalking the live broadcast room all felt that the game was already over.

L&P was very strong.

FTW was also very excellent. OzVbWZ

Although they would lose, FTW had given hope to countless fans, lightened their hearts, and given them unlimited expectations for the near future.

 

It was over. This battle was already enough.

The onlookers all thought so, but then they saw the FTW that was acting like a fierce wolf! yWfO39

 

Over? Give up? Stop?

As long as the resurrection crystal was still there, the game wasn’t over yet!

  gv9B07

“Holy shit, FTW is…”

“They actually learned on the spot and started to make use of it!”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“L&P’s top-jungler linkage, FTW is doing it too!”

“Can they really do that…” 3vUjDW

 

Not only was the audience stunned; even L&P was stunned.

In the second half of the game, FTW had fallen into a complete decline and could only protect their resurrection crystal from their base.

L&P wasn’t in a hurry. As long as they controlled the soldiers from across the three lanes and captured the ancient creatures to ensure that their team was in peak condition, they could defeat FTW in one fell swoop. E1HcZv

This didn’t matter much. At this time, them charging out alone was equivalent to simply sending their heads over to the other side.

 

However…

Just as L&P’s bottom laner and support wanted to kill Yue Wenle, the berserker warrior, immortal thief, and holy priest all charged out of the bushes. sGx8Ka

L&P’s marksman was caught by surprise, “F*ck!”

The demonic shaman quickly acted as a shield for its own team’s marksman. Unfortunately, the immortal thief used its ultimate move and landed a full set of skills on him, quickly killing the marksman.

 

The demonic shaman reacted very quickly. He began to retreat, wanting to wait for Yuan Ze and Gary to provide support. Unfortunately… iNXLcd

The frost hunter’s slow debuff poked at him over and over, the immortal thief’s linked skills came together, and the berserker warrior’s blade swept over continuously. The demonic shaman used all of its recovery and heal skills but was still unable to hold on.

Commentator A: “FTW hasn’t given up!”

“They actually fought their way out and killed two people from L&P!” 6R5qFl

“Marshal and Gary have killed the ancient creatures and taken both dragon buffs.”

“Quickly take a look at the mid-lane. FTW’s mid-lane beat VIVI into retreat!”

 

The live broadcast room had also exploded, “Amazing, they were able to seize the opportunity and attack!” 0dvxlh

“Ning Zhehan’s pretty good, his spirit mage is excellent. He was actually able to beat VIVI into retreat.”

“However, Yuan Ze is making his way over. Little Ning’s done for.”

“Trading one life for two isn’t a loss.”

  bC0xFQ

FTW’s die-hard fans burst out into passionate tears, “Our babies are so fierce, it’s making me cry like a dog.”

“They want to win, they really want to win.”

“They did their best, they really did their best. They’ve really done the best they can!”

  sQ5r0A

Even the haters gave a fair evaluation, “This year’s FTW is strong.”

 

In the last round of team fights, both sides had really exerted their strength to the utmost.

Ning Zhehan was killed by Yuan Ze. 3D6UOT

L&P’s marksman and support were killed by Wei Xiao and Close.

There were seven people still standing in the canyon.

L&P’s Yuan Ze, Gary, and VIVI, who were all in full health. R3Edc1

All four of FTW’s remaining team members were healed back to full health by Bai Cai’s ultimate move.

 

3v4.

It may seem as though FTW had the advantage, but everyone was worried about them. XUpBHe

 

The gap in their economy was too big.

At this time, all three members of L&P had full sets of gear, and Gary and Marshal even had done enough farming to switch seamlessly between resurrection armor and invincible gear.

  JR8oL4

In contrast, although FTW had four people, only Close had a full set of gear. Even Wei Xiao was half a piece short, not to mention Yue Wenle and Bai Cai.

The frost hunter’s farming wasn’t very good and could only wait for death.

 

Bai Cai had just used his ultimate move and only had three skills left. The amount of healing he could provide had dropped sharply. Aanbc7

What to do?

Should they attack or retreat?

 

Wei Xiao looked at the minimap, “Attack!” dPk42E

Lu Feng: “Mm.”

They had no way to retreat.

What they could do–– PZ8Oit

Was to give it their best!

 

Yue Wenle inhaled lightly and said, “Brother Cai, don’t worry about me.”

As he spoke, he launched all his skills at VIVI and attempted to take away L&P’s core DPS dealer with his explosive DPS attacks. PcIDrk

 

Unfortunately, VIVI’s hand speed was amazing, and he linked up his skills immediately, taking flight with a series of moves. His ultimate move, flying in the clouds, made him immune to the burst damage. At the same time, he launched countless streaks of thunder attacks that were concentrated on Yue Wenle’s body.

Yue Wenle fell.

  w2DVjl

Wei Xiao didn’t say a single word. He rushed up and stabbed at the immortal warlock with his blade even before he could land.

Yue Wenle’s screen went dark, but his heart jumped up to this throat, “Careful! Yuan Ze has gone around the back!”

 

The other side’s actions were faster than Yue Wenle’s voice. Wei Xiao hadn’t yet had a chance to use his movement skill when Yuan Ze’s bright red blade stabbed into his back. b0f4ws

 

“Damn it!” Bai Cai rushed up and tossed out all his skills, healing Wei Xiao crazily.

He used a directional skill and was so busy healing Wei Xiao that he didn’t have time to take care of himself.

Gary’s scythe flew over and locked on Bai Cai. He killed him and sent him back home! 0LHwBj

 

The commentators: “It’s 2v2 now!”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Both sides are left with their top-laner and jungler.”

“These two teams with strong top-jungler combos are having the ultimate showdown! s45JE7

 

The four people on the field moved faster than the commentators could speak.

 

Not long ago, Yuan Ze and Gary had lost to Close and Wei Xiao in a doubles competition. QiNg 8

In this 5v5, would the top-jungler legends be defeated again?

 

In this four person team fight, the skills were dazzling, and the special effects were gorgeous, matching up with exquisite positioning and operations.

The berserker thief locked onto the immortal thief. NiLzlH

Wei Xiao was just waiting for Old G to pull him over. At the moment when he approached, he released all three of his skills, followed by basic attacks… it was so fast that it dazzled the eye, and it was followed by the immortal thief’s ultimate move––ten thousand swords split the sky!

 

It was a very beautiful skill. The special effects of this ultimate move weren’t much worse than the shadow thief’s eight light arcs.

Shining silver longswords fell from the sky, this well-positioned strike ringing in the ears as Old G’s health plummeted down to a critical state. q3 M2i

If Wei Xiao landed another basic attack, he’d be able to kill him!

 

At such a critical time, Wei Xiao certainly wouldn’t make any mistakes. He swept his blade across and pierced Old G.

Old G fell to the ground. M1R7yO

 

Bai Cai: “Gary has resurrection armor!”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Wei Xiao: “Yeah.”

He then called out, “Captain, help!” T3yrun

 

The immortal thief who’d used up all his skills definitely didn’t dare to fight against the berserker thief that was about to resurrect on the spot. So… he asked Close for help.

 

Lu Feng had been exchanging blows with Yuan Ze. 2yIVWp

The two of them were having a close fight and neither side had the advantage. Reasonably speaking, Lu Feng wouldn’t be able to pull away.

However…

He sent Yuan Ze flying with a hit and used this gap that lasted less than half a second to slash down at the berserker thief nearby.

The distance was calculated just right. The berserker warrior’s range of attack was extended when it was in its berserk state and could just reach Gary. UFeZcd

 

Gary’s heart pounded, “Shit!”

He’d managed to stand up again with his resurrection armor, but he was only at a third of his health. How could he hold up against the berserker warrior’s blade?

  XK3uVy

It was a pity that his own captain hadn’t come to save him.

Yuan Ze: “Wait, I’ll avenge you.”

He charged forward and applied a deceleration effect, then went around Lu Feng to stab Wei Xiao in the chest.

  WlYn9M

The immortal thief’s white clothing flared out around him. He would receive a blood mark bonus after taking damage.

The crimson red color contrasted sharply against the snow white clothing.

Wei Xiao’s health bar plummeted. Seeing that he was about to die, he quickly used his last three skills to encircle Yuan Ze. “Captain, kill him!” eWqvYb

The berserker warrior’s berserk state was about to disappear. After killing Gary, Lu Feng didn’t waste any time at all. He used the basic attack that was strengthened by his ultimate move and cleaved at Yuan Ze with everything he had.

 

Yuan Ze had no way to avoid him and died at the same time as Wei Xiao.

  UJoOdM

It was a fierce battlefield, a brilliant canyon.

Only one person remained.

The berserker warrior who had just come out of its berserk state was covered in broken pieces of heavy armor, with a body full of wounds.

  6lcUdd

Defeat!

 

Close was alive.

FTW lost. B3piMx

 

In the final team battle, FTW had killed all five people from L&P, winning the last round of team fights.

Unfortunately, FTW lost to L&P.

Because, long before the team fight began, L&P, who had captured the two ancient creatures, was already invincible. jQ8Zba

 

As early as before the fight began, Wei Xiao, who’d looked at the minimap, knew what the result would be––

Regardless of whether they won or lost this team fight.

FTW’s resurrection crystal wouldn’t be able to hold up. dtNAHT

The flames from nine dragons were enough to burn down everything.

 

In the situation where they would definitely lose, they still chose to fight until the end.

Losing was nothing. dS9yJn

The most important thing was to do their best!

 

In a game, having no regrets was the real victory.

  kQ24UK

FTW lost to L&P, but they were still greeted with a wave of cheers.

It had been too wonderful.

This indomitable spirit, this courage when faced with a strong enemy, this perseverance that led them to fight to the very end.

What was the charm in competitive gaming?

It was the brilliant glory that appeared after everyone in the field gave their best efforts!
