Chapter 12 Dedication (5)
When I was a primary school student, I knew about Shadow Chaser, and he also brought a lot of exciting competitions to my childhood. I was a little curious about his current state, so I opened the mobile phone live broadcast APP and found his live broadcast room, which he naturally had already broadcast, but I could see his live broadcast video.
Sure enough, his current popularity is very average, and he can only see a few barrages. Seeing him on camera he seems to be a little haggard, and shows some signs of aging that are not of his age. He's a veteran, yes, but he's also a young man in his twenties, and I don't know what he's been through over the years that makes him look so dull. It wasn't until I saw that his image was quite different from what I remembered that I realized that this person had not appeared in the public eye for a long time.
He's actually doing what he's supposed to do, training hard, living hard, and trying to play. It's just that we don't know and don't pay attention to it.
Since ancient times, generals have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. Many people say that sports are wars in peacetime, and as long as it is war, it is inevitable to live and die, and it is inevitable to see the immortal veterans gradually wither.
In my opinion, his live broadcast is not to make money, but just a platform for self-presentation. Unlike most live broadcast rooms, Xue Yang barely talks much during the live broadcast, but focuses on the game. Under the poor interactive experience, it is natural that few people give him gifts.
As we all know, professional players who take care of the audience in the live broadcast room and talk non-stop have two levels of strength and professional players who focus on games. Although they are both playing games, the state of the professional players that you can see during the live broadcast is completely different from the state of training and competition. Xue Yang gave me the feeling that he was training with the camera on, not on the live broadcast.
I'm inclined to think that his live stream has two purposes, one is to show the teams who are interested in him how good he is at this stage. The second is that you can urge yourself when someone is watching, so as not to slack off.
To be fair, thanks to the weapon characteristics of the bow and arrow, his current strength is actually very good. If an archer is experienced, then as long as he makes reasonable use of the characteristics of his weapon, he can cover up the decline in his operation and reaction speed. Because as long as you are good at positioning, you can maintain a safe and reasonable position to output, and you don't have to stick to your face and fight people. Moreover, the accuracy of the bow and arrow does not depend on reaction, but more on the grasp of timing and prediction of the opponent's movements, and in these two, experience plays a crucial role.
At the same time, I can also see that although he said in the application notice that he can adapt to a variety of playing styles such as core, strategy and support, it is obvious that with his current age and operation, he is no longer able to adapt to the core play. The reason is very simple, the so-called core, is to play the main damage with the cooperation of teammates, and has the ability to harvest the opponent's head, he is now getting older, resulting in his ability to pursue and harvest weakened, not to mention, as the core will also be taken care of by the other party.
It's hard for me to imagine how with his current reaction, he can dodge and deliver steady output in the face of the opponent's constant attacks and skills.
Seeing this, I was going to close the live broadcast room and go to sleep, after all, although there is a certain emotional bonus, he and I are passers-by after all, and I don't have much effort to worry about others. What I can do is to help the game get better and better with my own strength, so as to provide a broader market for everyone.
I was about to click to close, but in his video, there was another person lined up on the opposite side, a swordsman, looking a little familiar, and then I looked at it, and the ID on the top of my head clearly wrote the word "carved boat".
I glanced at the time, this was the video from this morning, and I slowly awakened my memory. Then I remembered that I had just come back from the game in the morning, and I was not in a good mood, so I started to line up in the arena as soon as I got into the game, and after a few rows, I met an archer. Now that I think about it, this archer is none other than Xue Yang.
Don't blame me for being careless, the number of people in my segment is not much, and it is common for me to be ranked as a professional player, and he is a "former famous player" who has disappeared from the public eye, so naturally he didn't attract my attention too much, and only beat him as an ordinary passerby.
At the end of the countdown, I rushed up directly to the moon and the sword in the video, and I smiled helplessly when I saw this scene. At that time, I was in a state of anger when I had just lost the game, so I adopted this very aggressive and offensive style of play. Of course, it is okay for everyone to understand it as incompetent rage.
Treading on the moon and catching the sword used to be a regular starting way for swordsmen to fight long-range weapons, but with the improvement of everyone's strength, players of long-range weapons have also developed a lot of effective countermeasures, and Shadow Chasing is one of the more conventional ones.
Because during the lunge to catch the sword, the archer can take the opportunity to connect with a skill called "River Leap", which has the effect of inflicting a small amount of damage on the opponent and quickly backing himself. In this way, the distance that the swordsman finally used to chase with the two skills of treading the moon and the sword will be pulled away again.
However, it is necessary to grasp the timing of the release of this skill, if it is released too late, it is easy for the opponent to dodge the combo or interrupt it with other skills, and it is easy to make the skill take effect before the judgment of the "sword" that must be hit, causing the swordsman player to chase the distance of the "River Leap" all the way to the past.
So the only time is the moment the swordsman "sword" hits him, and then releases the skill, he can instantly open the distance, and at the same time, he only eats a small amount of damage from one skill. Because the skill "sword" has a short backswing, this timing is not difficult for most masters to grasp.
But my habit after stepping on the moon and receiving the sword is to use a short weapon action and cancel the operation to jam the skill backswing of the "sword". Most high-end swordsmen will do this operation, but the length of time it takes to get stuck depends on the person. In this case, it is natural to make the time jam as short as possible.
And I, because of a lot of practice, can get this time stuck to almost invisible. Sure enough, Chasing Shadow was also hit, and he still released his skills at the usual pace, but unfortunately I dodged the effect of the skill without backswinging stiffly, neither did I eat damage, nor did I let him successfully escape backwards.
At this time, I saw him in the video and let out a "huh", I don't know whether I was lamenting that my reaction was too fast or that my hand speed was not as fast as it was back then.
Of course, I will not let go of such an opportunity, and to seize him is to chase and beat him fiercely, and in order to avoid excessive blood loss, he has to hand over the moon in embarrassment.
