Top Of Glory[Esports] Chapter 58

divine punishment

In the third game, although FP learned the lessons from the previous game and adjusted its playing style, it was still unable to defeat INVE who came prepared and was lucky enough to get the contract first.

1:2, there are still fights.

But in this situation, both sides are rushing to prepare for five games, and the physical exertion is not even less than the mental effort.

He Chen dug out an energy bar from his bag and gave it to Lin An, who secretly scratched it in the palm of his hand.

The FP team also prepared some energy-replenishing food. During the halftime break, the players listened to Lao Tao’s analysis while racing against time to eat a few bites.

Lin An finished the energy bar in several mouthfuls and seemed to be in a trance. He sat on the corner of the sofa with half-closed eyes, tapping his fingers unconsciously on his legs.

Hechen knew that he was reviewing the previous three games in his mind.

Lao Tao came up with several combinations that he had discussed with the analysts in advance and explained them to them.

Lin An didn’t speak from the beginning to the end.

His semi-autistic state continued, and the staff outside the door came to urge him to come on. He Chen looked at Lin An with some worry.

“It’s okay, don’t worry about him,” Fade was not surprised. Not only was he not in a hurry, but he also gossiped with He Chen while adjusting his coat. “Hey, the last time we played in the World Championship, there was a lot of pressure in the early stage, and the captain was the same.”

“He kept a cold face and didn’t say anything. When we entered the stadium, he asked the foreign media to take a photo of him with a black face. When we were playing against the odds, the media couldn’t keep their temper and used the captain’s photo to badmouth us in advance. At that time, the domestic fans were so angry that they had to buy tickets overnight to fly to the stadium to curse us. As a result, we won the game in two consecutive sets. At that time, the media immediately knelt down and deleted the news in dejection, as fast as they could, hahahahahaha…”

He Chen looked at Lin An, recalling his demeanor at that time, and curled his lips.

The referee came for the second time to urge the players to come on. The other players had adjusted themselves, and Lin An opened his eyes at this moment.

He stood up, and everyone in the room followed him subconsciously.

“If you can fight, let’s go.”

When FP entered the arena, INVE happened to come out as well.

Former teammates and now opponents, Lin An and Chi Rui looked at each other, with their eyes full of determination to win.

Sparks seemed to be flying in the air. The media turned their cameras, unwilling to miss some exciting scenes. However, they did not expect that the conflict they expected did not happen at all.

Chi Rui was walking at the front, wearing INVE’s silver-white team uniform jacket. He grinned a bit and said, “Old captain, it looks like you will give me a kill in the domestic competition. Thank you very much.”

Lin An looked him up and down, as if to say, “What are you dreaming about?”

But Lin An was still mature after all, and he just said lightly: “Come on.” Then he led his teammates onto the field.

There is no need to point at it, but it somehow feels very mocking.

Chi Rui shrugged, turned around and said to his teammates: “Be angry, you guys, beat them down. We will be the light of e-sports.”

He saw He Chen standing at the entrance of the passage through the crowd, and greeted him with two fingers together.

He Chen pursed his lips, nodded towards him, and returned his gaze to Lin An.

He pulled down the zipper of Lin An’s team uniform jacket and rolled up the cuffs. He sat there with his back straight, catching people’s attention.

Hechen looked at his figure from a distance and unconsciously recalled what Fade said just now.

Lin An always stands in front of everyone, and is the first to shoulder the pressure faced by the team. He must shoulder everyone’s position and be responsible for all decisions.

He Chen himself is also an extremely self-disciplined person. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with this before, but now for the first time he understood what Lin An was hesitant to say before.

The fourth game started from then on.

INVE took the lead in picking Xino when they came on the field.

The auditorium burst into flames, and Chi Rui’s light board lit up.

Compared with the audience’s reaction, Lin An’s expression was even cold. He seemed to have expected that INVE would not let go of the advantages brought by the role of Xino, and he was not surprised at all.

“Why are you panicking?” Lin An half-opened his amber eyes, “God has descended, right? It’s useless if you can’t use it.”

[FP should be tight-lipped in this game, after all, he suffered a loss earlier.】

[Xino, the god of pools, plays so beautifully. Who would say that he is the only one who can blow water.】

[Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo maybe, maybe I am I, I’m looking forward to him entering the world stage again——】

[It’s so tiring to watch the tug-of-war. Both sides are testing, so I’ll sneak away for a while.】

【???】

[Wait, wait, wait, when did Lin Shen break into INVE’s jungle alone…]

[Wow, it’s a good thing it’s running slowly. Is Gloam finally going to open?!】

Lin An couldn’t see the crazy real-time barrages.

This game was the first time he used Thor this season.

After the World Championship that amazed countless people, Gloam’s Thor almost became a ban for the competition.

Once against FP, the first character to be locked out must be Thor.

Over time, Lin An’s Thor’s Hammer has not come into public view for many years.

Some marketing accounts have analyzed that Lin Anjiang has exhausted his talents. Not only has the industry banned his Thor in recent years, but he himself is unlikely to return to his peak form at that time.

The grand occasion of Thor controlling the middle lane is difficult to replicate.

They said he was afraid, that he didn’t dare, that he was worried about being found out and falling off the altar.

So he wants to take a different approach and develop the skills of new characters.

Because Lin An is no longer young, because newcomers are like crucian carp crossing the river.

That year, the World Championships were full of talents, from China, Korea, and North America… Lin An was the one who stood out the most.

Those people speculated on his behavior, amplified his words, and wanted him to admit that Lian Po was old.

It’s not like Lin An didn’t see it.

But he is not only Lin An, but also Captain Lin.

Lin An just went deep into the enemy’s map single-handedly. Purple-black thunder and lightning flickered around him. He scanned the small map and blocked the positions of INVE’s top and middle laners.

It is said that the voltage of lightning can reach one billion volts.

Three rays of lightning seemed to have eyes, encircling the bodies of the three people at the same time without warning.

The skill interfaces of the three of them turned gray for an instant.

The effect of thunder and lightning paralyzed their bodies, temporarily losing control of their skills.

And Lin An’s operation is not over yet.

The clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, the wind howled, and the clothes hunted.

“Oops, stop him!” After all, Chi Rui had been on the same team with Lin An for quite some time. Almost instantly, he realized what Lin An was going to do, and immediately pulled away, leading the ADC to the middle.

But would Lin An not have any arrangements?

Lay’s Nine-Colored Deer has blocked Chi Rui’s path.

“Want to die and have another divine attack? No way.” Lay said with a cold face. He had already prepared his skills and was just waiting for Chi Rui to come over.

In the middle of the road, the majestic body of the God of Thunder held up an iron-gray giant hammer, bathed in thunder and lightning that turned people into ashes.

A cobweb-like electric current spread from his body. Wherever it passed, trees crackled and the grassy fields turned into scorched earth.

Heaven’s punishment has arrived, and prosperity is gone.

Thor’s third skill, Heavenly Punishment.

The barrage in the live broadcast room was scrolling and refreshing, and the text was so dense that nothing could be seen clearly.

In the stadium, the auditorium was silent from the moment Lin An’s Thunder God exerted his power.

In the FP team area, old fans burst into tears.

Less than ten minutes after the start of the game, Lin An harvested the top and middle lanes by himself, but let Lay and Coco block the bottom lane two, keeping them in a semi-dead state.

Xino’s divine drop cannot be hit even if he wants to.

Lin An did not choose to play it safe, but to use the peak role that he was said to never be able to play again to crown himself on the field.

Even the soundproof cabin could hardly stop the cheers from the audience. The moment the cabin door opened, Lin An’s name rang throughout the venue.

“What do you think of the rumors that were circulated earlier that Gloam was nominally circumventing other teams’ blockade of Thor, but was actually covering up that it would no longer be able to play Thor’s glory? Did you choose Thor today to clear your name?”

In the post-match interview of this game, Lin Anyan was concise and to the point in the face of the reporter’s criticism.

“When I’m not old enough to retire, I can still hold the hammer.”

“FP successfully entered the upper bracket finals and is one step closer to the World Championships. Do you have anything to say to other teams?”

“See you in the finals.”

Every question was tit for tat, but Lin An was able to answer questions smoothly.

Fade had tears in his eyes backstage. He was scrolling through the comments section while frantically taking out paper and blowing his nose, “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Captain, if I hadn’t used Thor today, I would have almost forgotten that you have suffered so many grievances…”

Although Lao Tao was also very moved, after all, Lin An’s direction adjustments in recent years were also suggested by data analysts. For the sake of the collaboration of the entire team, Lin An’s preferences were left at the end. I feel sorry for him…

But Lao Tao couldn’t tolerate Fade brushing his tablet with a big nose.

“I’m moved, I’m moved, don’t you feel disgusted…”

He Chen put his cell phone away and silently left the lounge alone.

The interview location was blocked by a warning tape. He Chen stood nearby, looking at Lin An’s figure from a distance, vaguely in a trance.

He shook his knuckles slightly, inexplicably remembering the time when he caught Lin An smoking.

Smoking is harmful to health.

He said this to Lin An at that time, but now he also wants to taste the taste of cigarettes.

“Would you like one?” Chi Rui was wearing the interviewee’s work badge and knocked the cigarette case in front of He Chen.

“Old Lin is still Old Lin,” Chi Rui sighed, “It must have been several years… I really didn’t expect him to use Thor to break the game this round.”

“…Why can’t you think of it?” He Chen took out a cigarette from his cigarette case.

“You saw in the game just now, how fast Lin An can be… As for why he doesn’t use it,” Chi Rui said with relief, “because his teammates can’t keep up with him.”

He Chen pursed his lips, held the cigarette in his mouth, and caught the faint tobacco smoke between his teeth.

It smells a bit like Lin An who has just smoked but is chewing gum to hide it.

Chi Rui leaned forward to light a fire for him, but was pushed away.

“I saw you mislead our children from afar,” Lin An said “tsk”, and when he turned to look at He Chen, it was as if he was teaching Little Red Riding Hood, who was easily coaxed by Grandma Wolf, “Don’t pick up everything randomly.”
