The King's Avatar: Mathematics is King

Chapter 140 Playoff Opener
Amid the cheers for Luo Ji, only Tang Rou's fans were still trying hard to speak up for her.

Tang Rou is also a player who has broken through the rookie wall.

He is also a rookie player who ranked among the top ten All-Stars when he first entered the league.

It can only be said that in the brilliant light of Luo Ji, his outstanding teammates will inevitably be overshadowed by some of their own brilliance.

But no matter what the outside world said, no one within the Xingxin team had ever raised this issue.

The level of harmony within the team made Ye Xiu, who had experienced the intrigues and deceptions of Jia Shi, very pleased.

In addition to the Best Newcomer award, other awards were also announced one after another.

Best Sixth Man, Song Xiao from Team Blue Rain.

The Most Improved Award goes to Zou Yuan from Team Hundred Blossoms.

There's no way around it. Except for Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, Fang Rui, and Wei Chen, all the other veterans in Happy are newcomers to the league, and there's no talk of any progress.

The best team award was finally given to the duo of Team Samsara, Zhou Zekai and Sun Xiang.

Happy had no choice about this award. Although Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng had a great rapport, Su Mucheng found it difficult to keep up with Ye Xiu's rhythm at first when he switched to the professional solo position. In addition, the two of them did not play stably in team competitions, so it was completely expected that they would not win this award.

The Most Valuable Player award was finally given to Ye Xiu.

The league had wavered between Ye Xiu and Luo Ji, but ultimately chose to give the award to Ye Xiu, the older captain.

No matter how you look at it, Ye Xiu won't be able to play for much longer, and Luo Ji is still very young. Perhaps he can be given this award in the next season.

Of course, this award was not given to Ye Xiu entirely because of his age. His performance in the regular season was the biggest reason. Otherwise, if we only looked at his age, this award should have been given to Wei Chen.

During the preparation period for the playoffs, there were some waves caused by the announcement of regular season awards, but everyone has become accustomed to it.

The regular season awards are announced at about this time every year, and controversies arise every year.

What is surprising this year is that Xingxin has won too many awards.

The King of One-on-Ones, the Star Defending Champion, the Best Newcomer, and the most important Most Valuable Player, were all won by Xingxin.

The teams of the winning players will be notified personally by the league. Chen Guo was of course extremely excited that Xingxin had won so many awards.

Then, for other awards, Chen Guo also turned into an unreasonable nitpicker.

For example, for the Most Improved Award, Chen Guo ignored the fact that Qiao Yifan was only playing his first official match this season and believed that he had made great progress compared to when he was in Vici Gaming and should win the award.

For example, the best combination. Chen Guo, a fan of Ye Su CP, of course thinks that they are the best combination forever and no explanation is needed.

"They should all be ours." Chen Guo snorted.

"Haha... we have to leave some soup for other teams, otherwise I'm afraid we'll be hit from behind while walking on the road." Luo Ji laughed.

Time passed little by little, and soon, on June 6, the much-anticipated playoffs finally began its opening game.

In K City, Baihua's home court, Baihua captain Yu Feng arrived at the competition venue early, with no one to accompany him, just him.

He stood in the center of the venue, and this was usually the place where characters fought each other under the holographic projection.

Yu Feng looked around the scene.

He has been in Baihua for two years, and this is his second time standing on the Baihua playoff stage.

Last year, their Baihua team’s playoff journey ended in a battle with Tyranny.

And this year, their first hurdle is Xingxin.

Xingxin, the strongest team in the minds of countless people, in this match, the final online voting rate, people who were optimistic about Xingxin reached 88%, which was a completely overwhelming advantage.

But it’s no wonder that netizens are so pessimistic about Baihua, considering the match between the two teams in the regular season.

The first time, Xingxin swept them 10-0. In the ring match, they were defeated by a rookie player from Xingxin who fought three against one.

The second time, it was a little better, but only a little, 9 to 1. This 1 point was because they directly gave up the ring match, and the captain Yu Feng got it in the individual competition.

Although the regular season data sometimes does not have much reference value, the gap is so big that netizens cannot ignore it.

Of course, the outcome of a match can never be 12% certain in advance, so Baihua still has a % support rate.

Let this 12% become a reality! Yu Feng took a deep breath and prepared to leave the venue.

At this time, he saw his partner, Baihua vice-captain Zou Yuan, also appeared in the venue.

"You're here too?" Yu Feng asked.

"Yes, I came here in advance to get a feel for the atmosphere." Zou Yuan replied with a smile.

The two of them stood on the competition stage of the venue and started to communicate.

Not long after, the two heard a noise and turned to look, only to see a group of people pouring into the venue from the other entrance.

It’s Team Xingxin!
All members of the Xingxin team were present, and as soon as they came in, they saw Yu Feng and Zou Yuan standing on the stage.

They walked straight onto the stage. Yu Feng glanced at the time and knew that Xingxin was here to warm up the crowd.

As an away team, they often walk around unfamiliar venues before the game to familiarize themselves with the environment.

It was the playoffs now, and many people from Happy were participating for the first time. Ye Xiu certainly wouldn't miss this detail.

"You are the two leaders of Baihua!" Ye Xiu walked forward and greeted them with a smile.

"Well, you guys come and warm up the audience!" Yu Feng spoke. Of course, Ye Xiu was no stranger to him.

After all, Ye Xiu had a good relationship with the Blue Rain team, and Yu Feng was also the main player of Blue Rain at that time.

"I hope I didn't disturb you?" Luo Ji also stepped forward and said.

"It's okay, you guys go ahead and do your work, we won't disturb you." Yu Feng said.

After all, the two teams are about to start a life-and-death battle. It is not suitable to chat in such a tense atmosphere.

"Goodbye." Luo Ji said.

After watching Yu Feng and Zou Yuan leave the stage, the Xingxin team didn't take the matter to heart and quickly began their warm-up work.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the venue was already full. The playoffs, where every game is crucial, naturally attract much more attention than the regular season.

Just like the regular season, there are seats reserved for away fans, and the die-hard fans of the Xingxin team have already hung up their banners here.

"Xingxin, it's time to go on stage." Someone knocked on the door of Xingxin's preparation room and notified them to go on stage.

"Go on stage!" Ye Xiu called everyone.

Everyone stood up and walked out of the preparation room. On the opposite side, players from the Baihua team were also walking out of the room.

The two teams lined up and stood in two rows in the exit channel, with the captains of the two teams standing at the front.

According to the rules, the away team enters first.

Led by Ye Xiu, everyone from Happy marched forward.

Since it is not your home ground, you naturally shouldn't expect any enthusiastic cheering, applause or screams.

Even if there are fans who come with the team, they will definitely be suppressed by the home fans.

The holographic projection of Lord Grim was displayed on the field, and he performed a few random moves. Of course, he would not take care of the visiting team's characters when he was showing off. He was very decent if he didn't blacken the team.

The on-site announcer gave only a few brief introduction to Ye Xiu, and then began to summon the next person to appear.

The second person to appear from Xingxin was naturally Luo Ji, and his treatment was almost the same as Ye Xiu.

This kind of thing is commonplace, and it's the same no matter who's at home, so Luo Ji naturally wouldn't take it seriously.

The contestants came on stage one by one according to the rhythm.

Then, it was the turn of the Baihua contestants to perform, and the momentum suddenly changed.

The moment Yu Feng walked out of the passage, screams and shouts instantly filled the entire venue.

Luohualangzhe was doing all kinds of cool moves on the field, while Yu Feng kept waving to the audience.

Compared with the previous appearances of Xingxin players, the time taken was different, not to mention the on-site introduction. It was hard not to mention that he wanted to explain all his glorious resume in the most exaggerated way.

The players of Baihua also walked onto the stage one by one, shook hands with the players of Xingxin before the game, and left the stage.

In the end, there were only two people left, which was undoubtedly because the starting players in the ring match were too lazy to go down and come up again.

"Ye Xiu, it's Ye Xiu!" Commentator Pan Lin started to yell excitedly.

Ye Xiu is actually the starting player in Xingxin’s competition. Now that they have reached the playoffs, will he still insist on being the first to play?

Pre-match predictions, almost no one had expected this arrangement, and everyone was more inclined to believe that Xingxin would put Tang Rou, their regular season ring match starter, in the first position.

But now, the starting player in the competition is Ye Xiu.

On the Baihua side, the first player to compete was the rogue player Zeng Xinran.

When Xingxin and Baihua first met in the regular season, the two also first faced off in the individual competition.

Zeng Xinran’s performance was pretty good that time, but the gap between him and Ye Xiu was still visible to the naked eye.

Now, after going through an entire regular season, how much has Baihua rookie Zeng Xinran grown?

After greeting each other again, the two went to their respective competition seats.

"It's really unexpected that Xingxin sent Ye Xiu to start in the arena. What do you think, Coach Li?" Pan Lin said.

"I think it's probably out of confidence. After all, Xingxin has a lot of All-Star players, and this is Xingxin's first time playing in the playoffs. Having an old man like Ye Xiu be the first to play can be seen as setting an example for his teammates." Li Yibo said his guess with a smile.

Players from both sides enter the competition seats, characters and maps are loaded, and the game is about to begin.

"Senior, nice to see you again." When the game started, Baihua player Zeng Xinran greeted Ye Xiu on the public channel.

“Haha, come on, let me see how strong you are now.” Ye Xiu called out, and Jun Moxiao rushed straight to the center of the map.

The map selection for the tournament must take into account the needs of everyone on the team, so it is usually a type of map with richer content. Naturally, this is also the type of map chosen by Baihua for their home court this time.

However, Zeng Xinran is not a sneaky player, and his rogue is not a ranged profession, so when the game started, he rushed to the center of the map just like Ye Xiu.

Boom boom boom! ! !
Ye Xiu's Jun Moxiao had the advantage of range, so of course he took the first step. He fired three shells from an anti-tank gun directly at the enemy.

However, since this attack couldn't even be considered a sneak attack, Zeng Xinran naturally couldn't be hit.

After dodging three shells, DeLillo accelerated towards Jun Moxiao.

Jun Moxiao had no intention of dodging. After using a series of long-range skills, he saw that the opponent had rushed to him, so he shook the Thousand Machine Umbrella and turned it into a spear.

Heavenly strike!

DeLillo dodged quickly.

However, the next moment, the shape of the Thousand Machine Umbrella in Jun Moxiao's hand changed again.

Cut upside down!

The Berserker's levitation skill is the one with the most severe damage and the strongest levitation effect among all levitation skills.

This time, DeLillo failed to dodge and was successfully knocked into the air.

Next, it’s the rhythm that the audience is familiar with, a quick fight between individual players!
But Zeng Xinran is no longer the naive newcomer he used to be. He waits for his opportunity calmly.

As we all know, it is impossible for a person to perform a perfect combo.

Soon, Zeng Xinran finally got such an opportunity.

With a heart of steel, DeLillo rushes out!

Powerful knee strike! Street storm!
Various skills were constantly used by DeLillo.

But his opponent is Ye Xiu after all, the top god who is known as the textbook of Glory.

Faced with such an attack, he dealt with it easily, and then fought back!
In the end, DeLillo lost the game without any suspense.

Before he fell, Ye Xiu's words appeared on the public screen: "Great progress, but it's not enough. Keep working hard!"

"Oh, I still lost." Zeng Xinran looked at the gray screen, sighed, stood up and walked out of the competition seat.

Baihua’s second contestant soon came on stage.

Zhang Wei, character, magic scholar Senluo.

As a veteran who debuted in the third season, Zhang Wei was naturally familiar with Ye Xiu.

But Ye Xiu might not be sure about him. After all, Zhang Wei was too ordinary, just as ordinary as his name.

The countdown begins, loading the game.

Unlike Zeng Xinran, Zhang Wei chose tactical movement and started to make a roundabout move as soon as the game started.

Jun Moxiao still rushed straight to the center of the map, but after reaching the center point and not seeing the opponent appear, Jun Moxiao did not hesitate for even a second and began to move tactically.

Unlike Zhang Wei who made tactical moves in order to find a better opportunity to fight, Ye Xiu made tactical moves to try not to encounter the opponent too quickly.

Since he couldn't win the battle quickly, Ye Xiu simply chose to wander around the map for a while and explore the map for his teammates behind him.

"We were careless. It would have been better to confront him directly in the center of the map right from the start." Zhu Xiaoping frowned.

"If the sneak attack can be successful, then positioning will make sense," said Zou Yuan.

"It's not that easy to sneak attack an old fox like Ye Xiu." Zhu Xiaoping muttered.

"Don't panic, just keep watching." Captain Yu Feng said calmly.

After all, the arena match map couldn't be too big. After two minutes, Ye Xiu had already walked most of the map, and the characters of both sides met at this time.

The two sides started fighting directly.

Zhang Wei still didn't find an opportunity for a sneak attack, but his positioning was not completely meaningless.

At least the place where they were fighting at the moment was within the attack range of his magic scholar's skills.

Lava flask!

Zhang Wei's start was very ordinary.
