All were dumbfounded.

In the individual competition,嘉世 (Jia Shi) had only managed to win by one head, which already fell short of many people's expectations. And now, in the team competition? It was actually Team Xing Xin who had been taking the initiative and gaining the upper hand all along, while嘉世 (Jia Shi) was passively struggling to keep up. Just looking at the scene, who was the powerhouse, and who was the underdog?

Although many viewers were hoping for Xing Xin to win and surprise everyone, they still found it unbelievable to see such a situation unfold. But after all, this was in line with their expectations, so it naturally ignited their excitement. The venue wasn't just a stronghold for嘉世 (Jia Shi) fans; this wasn't嘉世 (Jia Shi) team's home ground.

It's just that those who hoped for Xing Xin to win weren't necessarily Xing Xin's fans; what they truly loved was this unexpected dark horse. Therefore, they wouldn't recklessly cheer for Xing Xin like Tian Qi and those who truly supported Xing Xin. Because Xing Xin was indeed not favored, cheering so forcefully would easily lead to embarrassment. The casual fans, of course, weren't willing to risk that.

But at this moment, Xing Xin was actually gaining such an advantage in the team competition. The hearts of these players and viewers who were expecting an upset finally began to stir. Some passionate individuals had already started shouting, and under their lead, others gradually stopped burying their inner expectations and began to cheer loudly for Xing Xin. On the other hand, the嘉世 (Jia Shi) fans were somewhat dumbfounded due to their team's passive state.

Their cheers were originally intended to be the icing on the cake. They weren't mentally prepared to provide support in such a difficult situation! As a result, the cheers for Xing Xin that suddenly erupted in the venue momentarily drowned out the voices of the嘉世 (Jia Shi) fans. The嘉世 (Jia Shi) fans were stunned for a moment before they finally reacted and began to cheer frantically for嘉世 (Jia Shi).

The cheers of fans often act as a catalyst for athletes in sports, but Glory is an exception because the participating players are in a completely enclosed competition booth, and they can't hear the cheers from the audience. The principle is actually very simple, but the audience still wished to believe that their cheers could transmit strength to the players, and the professional players, as always, wouldn't deny this. Even if they couldn't hear the voices of their supporters, they wouldn't want to disappoint them.

At this moment, the venue echoed with the equally matched cheers of the two teams' supporters, but the situation on the field didn't undergo any major changes.

"Heal! Heal!"

Xiao Shi Qin's instructions were actually somewhat redundant. At this time, could Zhang Jia Xing just sit idly by? He was already controlling the priest, Zhi Ying, to heal Lian Jin. The reason he hadn't healed him yet was because Xing Xin wasn't letting him. In addition to Wu Chen's Xiao Qiang, Ye Xiu's Jun Mo Xiao was also constantly harassing him. Zhang Jia Xing had already used several instant-cast skills, and the healing spells that required chanting hadn't cooled down, but the problem was that he couldn't find an opportunity to cast them. He was constantly moving, looking like he was enjoying the show with lively gestures.

"Cover! Cover!"

Zhang Jia Xing also roared in the chat.

But this reminder was as redundant as Xiao Shi Qin reminding him to heal. Would Xiao Shi Qin not know to protect the healer? Of course, he knew. The reason he wasn't doing it well was because there were irresistible factors at play, namely… Xing Xin had more people.

Yes, more people. This advantage was brought to a heinous level after Ye Xiu personally arrived to command and operate. Zhang Jia Xing couldn't heal properly, and Xiao Shi Qin couldn't provide adequate cover. These two weren't ordinary people! Zhang Jia Xing was the main healer of the powerhouse嘉世 (Jia Shi), and Xiao Shi Qin was an All-Star player who had just shown off in the individual competition and gracefully left the stage, but at this moment, they both appeared disheveled in the face of Xing Xin.

Even so, their efforts weren't completely wasted. Zhi Ying's healing was able to find gaps to occasionally cast a little bit, and Shen Jian was also desperately struggling. Although it was nerve-wracking, it hadn't reached the point of despair. And the extremely amateurish mutual reminders between Xiao Shi Qin and Zhang Jia Xing in the team chat also revealed their true purpose.

Having said those words, one could imagine how strained the situation was for嘉世 (Jia Shi). Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei began to accelerate regardless of the consequences. They didn't hesitate to use skills like Hao Long Po Jun as movement techniques. The broadcast specially provided a close-up of the large map, allowing the audience to see the rapid approach of these two characters towards the battle, and their arrival time could be calculated in seconds.

A wasted effort?

Everyone had this phrase in their minds at this moment. If these two Battle Mages arrived, they could definitely break through the situation. Xing Xin's characters were somewhat lacking in power, and their output couldn't keep up at this time. If they were powerhouse characters comparable to嘉世 (Jia Shi), Shen Jian would probably have been blown up by now, right?

Perfect tactics, perfect performance, but in the end, they lost out due to the inferior characters?

The figures of Yi Ye Zhi Qiu and Zhan Dou Ge Shi were now in sight. Looking at Lian Jin's health, Xiao Shi Qin made a slight assessment and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt a little ashamed. Once upon a time, when he was still in Team Thunderclap, he would often lose due to the difference in character strength. At that time, he would often fantasize about having a powerful team of experts. And now that he finally had one, he was about to thwart Xing Xin's perfect performance with the brute force of these characters, but Xiao Shi Qin felt a little uneasy. This kind of brute force was something he once envied, but now that he was actually relying on this method to gain an opportunity, he couldn't feel happy.

Xing Xin's characters...

Xiao Shi Qin looked at Xing Xin's group of characters and suddenly paused.

What's going on? Why are there only four Xing Xin characters?

Where's the healer? Where's Xing Xin's healer, Xiao Shou Bing Liang?

In a flurry, Xiao Shi Qin covered Zhi Ying to rescue Shen Jian's Lian Jin, so he overlooked such a big change. At this time, he suddenly realized it, his heart flashed, and he quickly erased the position of this area in his mind.

Not good!!

Xiao Shi Qin's Sheng Ling Mie suddenly rushed up like a melee class. This action startled Zhang Jia Xing.

Is this a counterattack?

But Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei haven't fully arrived yet! And even if they did, as a Mechanic, shouldn't he be taking the lead like that?

But in the next second, Zhang Jia Xing was also dumbfounded.

A figure quickly joined the battle, and this character shouldn't have been here.

Bao Zi Ru Qin!

It was actually Bao Zi Ru Qin.

"When did he pop up?" Not to mention Xiao Shi Qin and Zhang Jia Xing, who were too busy to notice, even the broadcast, with its God's-eye view, didn't notice that Xing Xin had changed a player at this time.

There was no time to replay it now. Bao Zi Ru Qin's sudden entry was a Lock Throat right from the start. Shen Jian, who was dizzy from the siege, wasn't prepared at all for this guy who shouldn't have been on the battlefield. He was immediately grabbed by the throat and lifted up. When he saw this character, Shen Jian cried out in alarm. He knew better than anyone else that he was finished!

Relying on the strength of his character, Lian Jin could have originally held on, but at this absolutely crucial moment, Xing Xin actually completed a character swap?

The healer, Xiao Shou Bing Liang, was withdrawn, and the Brawler, Bao Zi Ru Qin, arrived.

Xing Xin no longer had four damage dealers, but five!

Xiao Shi Qin realized this, so he rushed over regardless of everything. Because he knew that facing the combined output of five characters, Lian Jin couldn't hold on until Yi Ye Zhi Qiu and Zhan Dou Ge Shi arrived. He had to rush in at this time to disrupt the situation.

At this moment, Xing Xin had no healer. Taking this opportunity to focus damage on a certain character, plus Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei arriving soon, a wave of focused attacks might be able to complete an exchange.

Xiao Shi Qin was planning this in his mind when he saw Jun Mo Xiao shake the Qian Ji umbrella in his hand...

Xiao Shi Qin was in tears... In his urgency, he forgot about this unspecialized class again. Although this unspecialized class's healing wasn't strong at all, even a mosquito is meat. In a professional match, every bit is enough to determine the victory or defeat. With him spending effort to heal here, Xing Xin could probably hold on until the healer was brought back into the battle. After all, this position was quite close to the player-swap zone. Xiao Shi Qin realized the location of this area just now, and that's when he fully understood Xing Xin's intentions. However, he noticed it a little too late.

Bao Zi Ru Qin entered the fray, and Xing Xin's output instantly increased to another level. Xiao Shi Qin's Sheng Ling Mie rushed to kill him, but was finally stopped by Jun Mo Xiao. His hope of making a desperate attempt to disrupt the situation was also dashed.

Ye Xiu couldn't instantly kill him, but there was no problem stopping him from causing trouble.

Boom!

Amid another burst of explosions, Shen Jian's Striker, Lian Jin, finally fell.

Following the most disgraceful performance in the individual competition, Shen Jian became the first player to be eliminated in the team competition. But to be fair, it couldn't be said to be his fault. Any player would have difficulty coping with such a trapped situation. But unfortunately, the game is sometimes so cruel. This difficult situation happened to him, bringing his performance in this match to an end. He didn't have any eye-catching plays. Being the first to be killed seemed to be synonymous with the worst performance in this match for those who didn't ask about the process.

But could it really be said that anyone had found something terrible so far in this team competition? No, everyone had tried their best to perform to their level. But under the collision, there was always victory and defeat. Shen Jian was sadly the final loser. He could definitely be said to be the most unfortunate person tonight. As嘉世 (Jia Shi)'s most important match of the season, his performance was really just a cameo. Sitting paralyzed on his chair, Shen Jian seemed to see himself returning to that era of being a substitute and a bit player.
