Chapter 1237: Gobi Desert

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

Now that the players from both sides had arrived, commentator Jiu Feng began announcing the match.

“Hello everyone, this is the fourth round of the semi-finals match in Dawn’s first professional league. It is Ruling Sword vs Gale Legion!”

The players from both sides had already entered the game machines. Their faces were calm and it looked like they were asleep.

It was hard to imagine that through what appeared to be a calm sleep was the fight for a chance to compete in the championship.

“Right now, the information of the players is being displayed on the screen. I don’t know if you guys have noticed, but both these teams are actually quite even. Gaze and Moonlight are on par. Fat Monkey is on the rise, but is still not as strong as Cloudy Leaf...” Four Seas Dragon said, analysing the line-up.

“Wendelian is no worse than March Rain. They also have powerful players like Flowing Wind and Torrent. I think we will be looking at a great performance from Gale Legion,” Jiu Feng agreed.

In fact, no matter what they really thought, this was what they had to say.

This was the only way they could attract everyone’s attention. If Gale Legion was already condemned to lose, then there would be nothing here to see.

The game had officially started, and Ruling Sword’s Fat Monkey first entered the field, while Gale Legion had sent their Mage Cloudy Leaf. Four Seas Dragon seemed quite certain that Fat Monkey wasn’t as strong as Cloudy Leaf. If the outcome of this match didn’t reflect his statement, that would be embarrassing for him.

Fat Monkey was quite ambitious in taking this fight, but he didn’t feel nervous just because his opponent was more famous than him.

He was the best upcoming newcomer since the Magic Cup. Not only did he gain a reputation in the professional gaming circle, but he was also quite famous now. This provided him with a number of endorsement opportunities. Sometimes, when he was feeling bored, he would buy a house or a car. Fat Monkey really was living a good life.

The only unfortunate thing about it was that this reputation seemed to be limited to being the best newcomer in the Magic Cup.

When other powerful Mages were mentioned, he could never compare against them. Fat Monkey didn’t like that. His goal was to become the number one Mage, and not just the best newcomer of a competition.

They didn’t say much to each other before fighting. Cloudy Leaf took the initiative and Fat Monkey responded appropriately.

They were two Mages; one ice and one fire. Fire Mages had higher damage and more continuous damage skills while Ice Mages were geared towards crowd control. When this was used in combination with Cloudy Leaf’s Water Elemental, the two could deal similar amounts of damage.

At the beginning, the two players were evenly matched, but as the battle went on, Fat Monkey was being grinded down.

Perhaps it was from that moment that Fat Monkey had begun to fail.

Cloudy Leaf took the first victory in the individual rounds with a decent advantage, but was now facing a full HP Moonlight. Even with his two Ice Blocks, he couldn’t win. Moreover, he had to preserve his special effects because the Ice Blocks would play a role in the group rounds.

Needless to say, special skills like Ice Block had a particularly long cooldown.

In the individual rounds, Ruling Sword had a slight advantage. After all, Lu Li and Moonlight were both duelling experts while Gale Legion only had Gaze. The final score was five points to three and obviously, Ruling Sword was ahead by 2 points.

“Have you noticed that Gale Legion possess great fighting spirit today, and they have been fighting well?”

Four Seas Dragon was very excited, and was always looking for good things to say about both parties.

“I see that especially in Torrent. With his confident posture, he was almost about to take out half of Lu Li’s HP. In other words, if Torrent had Lu Li’s level and equipment, he might even be able to defeat Lu Li in a one on one,” Jiu Feng praised.

However, the Gale Legion players knew that Torrent only was able to fight so hard against Lu Li because of their pre-match discussions.

After the individual rounds, the eye-catching group rounds begun.

In the current system, there were two rounds. The individual rounds were worth 5 points while the group rounds were worth 6 points, for a total of 11 points. Although winning the team rounds didn’t guarantee a victory, losing it would make winning considerably more difficult.

“Woah, what is this map?” Jiu Feng was already surprised by the map that had been chosen.

Like many others, she thought Ruling Sword would choose the simple circular arena map for their home match. She didn’t expect it to be a map with complex terrain like the Gobi Desert.

The Gobi Desert!

The Gobi Desert was different from a normal desert. Deserts were predominantly filled with sand while the surface of the Gobi Desert was predominantly covered in gravel. There was no sand or soil which meant there were no plants.

As a map, the Gobi Desert’s terrain was particularly complex because it had rocky cliffs everywhere.

“Hey this is probably one of the most complex maps available,” Four Seas Dragon sighed. He quickly realized that Peerless City was probably Ruling Sword’s sparring partner when they trained for this, but he just continued sitting in the commentator’s box in silence.

In his opinion, it was quite unbelievable that Peerless City would be Ruling Sword’s sparring partner.

Allies were not usually compassionate towards one another. Most allies would be self-interested and wouldn’t want to waste time with Ruling Sword. Besides, their true ally, Drizzle Court, hadn’t even been eliminated yet. It was possible that they could still run into Ruling Sword in the championships.

On the contrary, Gale Legion didn’t show much surprise.

Wendelian let out a long sigh of relief. After suspecting that Ruling Sword had been training, she also took her teammates to train in some of the more difficult maps. They had also trained in the Gobi Desert a number of times, so this was an acceptable outcome.

The terrain of the Gobi Desert was a large basin surrounded by two tall cliffs.

A regular player that just jumped down would lose half their HP, but this rarely occurred in a professional match. Some professions had the means of reducing fall damage. Priests were the best at this, as those who learned the floating skill could give it to their teammates so they could float down one at a time.

Since the terrain was complex, tactics were very important. In the process of training, everyone had explored a number of tactics.

Lu Li went ahead and explored. When he saw his opponent’s formation, he immediately arranged his teammates in response. As for Gale Legion, they didn’t have a capable Thief, so they just had to be more defensive.

If anyone asked what Gale Legion was missing, the answer would no doubt be a Thief.
