THE KING'S AVATAR
EPISODE 31
OK. Come on, netizens!
Come and look!
Let me show you.
This is Xing Xin Team.
Look at how despicable they are!
What are you doing? Don't touch me!
Look at the camera. Say something.
Look at the camera. Say something!
Ye Qiu, traitor! Xing Xin, get lost!
Sorry. Don't take videos.
What are you doing? Don't move.
I know you're the vice captain.
Listen! Don't bully others with your gang!
Ye Qiu, traitor! Xing Xin, get lost!
Come on.
Say it again by looking at the camera.
Young man. Listen to me.
Don't cotton up with me.
You just said...
We fans of Jia Shi all went nuts.
The captain we supported the most before
has established his own team now.
He rivals against his old team everywhere.
Do you understand how the fans feeling?
No one does.
You don't care about Jia Shi's fans, either?
I don't compete for the fans.
Not for the fans? Then for whom?
To be honest,
what we are striving for is a dream that is very personal.
Nobody does it for making others happy.
I hope you'll not misunderstand it.
We appreciate everything you've done for us.
And we're touched.
But...
I need to tell you a ruthless fact.
It's not true if we say we'd compete for you.
At least I wouldn't.
Not at all.
But if it weren't for our support, there would be no eSports circle.
And there would be no professional players.
You're right.
So I'm appreciated.
And I'm touched by your support.
I say it sincerely.
But it's my competition.
I don't do it for you.
It's totally different.
Brutal truth!
Didn't know Master Ye Qiu is so direct.
In only 10 seconds, many have become his fans from the opposite.
-Exciting! -Ye Qiu is not an idol star at all.
He's a real professional player.
Telling the truth is the best gift for fans.
That's the true sportsmanship.
You...
Your arrogance won't last long
before the competition against Jia Shi starts.
Captain.
You were awesome just now.
Finger heart.
Hi.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Captain.
I don't think you should say all that.
Though it was true.
Yes. He's just a fan.
Not worthy.
You're too naive.
I said it to all of you.
When you become real professional players, you'll have many fans.
With their support and their encouragement,
knowing what they like and what they don't like,
will you be manipulated by those?
It's not something trivial.
It matters.
Why do you compete?
You should think thoroughly.
It may decide how long you would travel on the journey
and how well you would play.
It's OK to compete for making the fans happy.
But it's difficult to win the championship by doing it.
What fans like may not be the right things.
How you should play it depends on each of you.
Because you are professional players.
Xing Xin Net Cafe
Leaf of Autumn; Glory
Master! You finally came back.
Please... look at this.
News about our Xing Xin team on line is bombarding everyone.
Look. All kinds of different stories.
Look, here.
Glory
What news? Just tell me.
Well...
It's difficult to say.
Do they want Xing Xin to withdraw or ask him to apologize?
Neither.
They say...
They want to see the truest Master Ye Qiu.
I would say...
The word "silly" could summarize Ye Qiu's entire life.
He could have been enjoying his welfare in Jia Shi.
But he's chosen to have a hard life in Xing Xin.
What are you doing?
Editing a video.
He's not only a silly person, but also has a one-track mind.
If someone like him wants to return to the league...
Master. Let me explain.
We planned everything in advance.
As you know, self-deprecating is the best way to whitewash.
So if we started with talking about your weaknesses,
the audience will resonate with you.
Right?
If someone like him wants to return to the league,
he'd better go to a mature team to be the core.
Yes.
It's much better than to babysit all the rookies here.
He's not a qualified captain.
He's much worse in doing things and conducting himself than me.
It was not self-deprecating.
They were just complaining about me.
All true.
Questioning or flattering, accepting or ostracizing,
they are not going to be our burdens.
To be specialized, dedicated and professional.
It's the attitude that an eSports player has.
Xing Xin Net Cafe
We're continuing our journey.
In this stadium today,
we'll have two competitions we pay high attention to.
They both won 6 times successively in the Challenge.
Jia Shi and Xing Xin will rival against others in order.
Jia Shi starts first.
And players in Xing Xin are entering the arena.
-Don't make the same mistake. -Boss Chen.
I'm the captain of Everlasting.
Wu Chen.
What's up?
I'm here to offer you a chance of cooperation.
Cooperation?
What cooperation?
As you see, Xing Xin and Everlasting are in the same situation.
We're facing strong teams like Jia Shi.
We've got powerful enemies.
And we've got the same goal.
It is to win the champion of the Challenge.
How about we teaming up and fighting together?
Am I right?
Teaming up?
What do you mean?
I've been watching you for quite some time.
Some of your players are in good conditions.
But a team like Xing Xin can't match with Everlasting
because we've got better equipment and environment.
If the two teams can merge into on team,
it will be a win-win opportunity with might redoubled.
It is an honor for Xing Xin to merge with us.
After merging, we'll be the new Everlasting together.
And you don't have to compete in the Challenge today.
No need.
Thank you for considering us.
But Xing Xin has never admitted defeat without fighting.
Thank you.
Think twice.
What really matters? Saving face or the future of the team?
You're the captain of Everlasting. Don't worry about our future.
To tell you the truth,
I don't want to negotiate with Xing Xin.
I'm not interested in such a grass-root team like you at all.
I don't want to see a professional player
like Ye Qiu stops at the Challenge.
Ye Qiu wants to return to the league.
But Xing Xin is not the best option for him from any respect.
If you lost, have you thought how much Ye Qiu would lose?
ESports players don't have many years before retirement.
He should not waste his time in such a crappy team.
Everlasting is a better option for him.
He's not going to Everlasting.
Can you decide for him?
She can.
If you want to join Xing Xin, we might consider it.
Otherwise, let's compete in the Challenge.
Let's go.
Go for it!
Welcome, everyone. It's the competition field of the Challenge.
Our heroes for tonight will come right away.
Welcome Xing Xin and Everlasting!
Go for it!
Everlasting
Xing Xin; Tang Rou; Wei Chen; Mo Fan
Xing Xin vs. Everlasting.
The competition begins now!
How awesome we played in the competition!
Luring the enemy in deep and defeating them all!
Amazing!
Have we won seven times successively?
Listen to me.
I was inside. The captain said we still needed to improve.
I think more training will come.
Seriously?
It could be true.
Oh, no. I'll take some rest now.
Everlasting vs. Xing Xin the 9th Challenge of Glory
Speaking of successive wins,
only we and Xing Xin haven't lost any competition.
So?
You want to go watch Xing Xin?
The one who wants to know you best... is always your enemy.
Everlasting
Congrats, Xing Xin! They won again.
They ended the first half with 5-0.
The Team Competition will start soon.
Xing Xin
Everlasting
OK. The players are ready.
The Team Competition is on the way.
Xing Xin vs. Everlasting. The competition starts now!
Sun Xiang.
You came to watch Xing Xin alone?
Who is watching them?
I'm watching...
I'm watching Everlasting.
You study Everlasting.
We study Xing Xin.
We both study our rivals, right?
Facing the point-losing situation,
Ruo Feng, what would you suggest Everlasting and Wu Chen?
-Sure. -If losing this game...
The one who wants to know you best is always your enemy.
Wu Chen needs to step up at the crucial moment to lead the team.
-He must be stressed out. -Exactly.
In the first half, Xing Xin was sailing with the wind.
-What are you doing? -Watch the game aboveboard.
Your sight would be blocked by wearing a hood.
Let's expect their good performances in the Team Competition.
Shut up!
Go ahead.
Ninja: Heavenly Rage; Warlock: Leopold; Launcher: Dawn Rifle;
With such a cast, neither is launching their Cleric first.
Seems it'll be an output battle.
It is surprising.
Generally speaking, rarely would teams put Clerics on bench.
But what Xing Xin and Everlasting are doing surprises everyone here.
Map options: the Place of Exile; Poisoned Wolf Land; Boneyard
The map is the Poisoned Wolf Land.
Everlasting vs. Xing Xin
It's a very different map.
It will be a horrifying battle.
Instructor Ruo Feng, brief us about why the map is different.
Let me keep you all guessing.
We'll see why it's different when the game starts.
Count down on the Team Competition.
Five, four, three, two, one. Start!
OK. It starts.
-Everlasting's captain... -The Launcher is ready.
Roger that.
Captain. Where are you?
In the map of the Poisoned Wolf Land,
everyone starts in a different place.
Look at your position.
All players start at various places.
They are scattered in different positions.
On the map, there is poisoned fog everywhere.
Oh, crap! What's this?
Yes. The Poisoned Wolf Land is an escaping map.
Poisoned fog will slowly spread to the center from the periphery.
If you touched the poisoned fog, you'd continually lose blood.
Poisoned fog spreads to the center from the periphery.
The only safe battle field is the center of the map.
Everyone meets together in the center as soon as possible.
-Gotcha. -Bao Zi.
-Watch out. -Roger that.
A real man can't fall down at the same place two times.
Spotted Leopold, Everlasting's Warlock.
Spotted Everlasting's Summoner.
I found an exit!
What about Tang?
Spotted Everlasting's Knight Three-lives Knot.
We're surrounded!
Everlasting's Ninja is here.
Han Yanrou is fighting against two now.
Spotted the fifth of Everlasting.
Everlasting wants to kill Tang with two players by avoiding me.
Tang, hold on!
I'll back you up!
Roger that.
Now Everlasting and Xing Xin are engaging in a contact battle.
Windward Formation vs. Leopold. Yi Cunhui vs. Ice Wing.
Han Yanrou vs. Three-lives Knot and Heavenly Rage.
Bao Zi, the Invader hasn't met with Dawn Rifle.
Seems Jun Moxiao has been entangled with something.
Why are there six Everlasting players?
It's five.
The captain encounters a Summoning Monster.
Tang is in danger.
Tang can handle this one-against-two.
On other common maps, maybe yes.
But today we've got the Poisoned Wolf Land.
With one second delay, the damage it'll cause is fatal.
Due to the specialty of this map,
players can't meet with their teammates in a short time.
They can only get out of the plight with their personal abilities.
On the other side, Yi Cunhui is against Summoner Ice Wing.
The key will be how he gets rid of the Summoning Monster
and makes him switch into the Summoner.
Everlasting vs. Xing Xin Scores: 0-0
Good job! Ghost Step!
A successful switch into the Summoner!
We see Yi Cunhui is moving.
He's realized he needs to meet with his teammates soon.
Phantom of Dragon Tooth! Such a bilocation!
How fast she should be!
Tang Rou has got an amazing APM.
With great personal strength, she defeated the Ninja successfully.
Tang Rou! Tang Rou!
Hard to imagine the new player could grow so quickly!
Tang Rou, Tang Rou!
Everlasting
Bao Zi, the Invader, was going closer to his teammates.
He got hit by a long-distance launching.
Who did it? Who raided me?
It was Dawn Rifle who ambushed on a highland.
He used far shot to constantly attack Bao Zi, the Invader.
Hit him again!
Bao Zi, the Invader's blood volume has been dropping.
But seems he hasn't located where his enemy is.
Hard for him to dodge Dawn Rifle's attack.
With the dropping speed of his blood volume,
in dozens of seconds, he'll lose all his blood.
The visibility of the map is very poor.
But Dawn Rifle could accurately Blind Snipe Bao Zi, the Invader.
How surprising!
Seems Dawn Rifle is in a very good condition today.
Wu Chen is Blind Sniping in fog. His hit rate is ridiculously high!
You smelt a rat, too?
If it were me, I couldn't do it.
Bao Zi, the Invader, position(144, 571).
Good! Another Blind Snipe!
Dawn Rifle killed Bao Zi, the Invader successfully!
Everlasting eliminated on rival first.
Xing Xin's substitute is in.
Everlasting
Be careful.
The competition isn't over. We can't lose it.
Yes, captain!
Next target: Han Yanrou.
Roger that.
Han Yanrou, position(134, 231).
I'm afraid Xing Xin could be in danger.
He's about to shoot. Look who he's aiming at.
It's Han Yanrou.
Jun Moxiao found where Dawn Rifle is.
He intervened in time and helped Han Yanrou out.
Jun Moxiao stepped up at the crucial moment.
When did your shooting become so accurate?
How did you find me?
There is only one highland on this map.
Launchers will fight for it.
If you can't figure it out,
I'd say you are detached from the Alliance for too long.
Han Yanrou is being attacked by two.
But with strong personal strength, she is not in disadvantage.
But how long could she hold on in such a bloody battle?
If no one backed her up, she might lose much blood.
The Warlock of Everlasting is here.
A very difficult situation of one-against-three!
Her teammates, come soon!
Or Han Yanrou could be killed!
Xing Xin Tang Rou
Yi Cunhui arrives at the front and backs up Han Yanrou in time.
You OK?
Yes. I can hold on.
We are in disadvantage. Meet with the captain now.
Han Yanrou and Yi Cunhui made a breakthrough
by seizing the moment their enemies were positioning.
Everlasting players are right after them, not letting go of a power play.
-Gate of Death! Good job! -Perfect timing.
The four of Everlasting are under control.
Xing Xin players are tacitly cooperating.
Han Yanrou and Yi Cunhui lured Everlasting players to the position.
Windward Formation resets the ultimate to control the enemies.
Windward Formation shows up in time!
Xing Xin players have assembled. If everything goes well,
Gate of Death will kill the four of Everlasting one time.
Yes. Everlasting is in great danger.
The four at the front are under control.
Its captain Dawn Rifle is held down by Jun Moxiao.
If there is no miracle, Everlasting will be defeated.
Xing Xin
It's over.
Lost Connection
What happened? What's going on?
-What's wrong? -What happened?
Everlasting vs. Xing Xin
Be calm, please. We're checking what caused it.
What happened?
What? What just happened?
Xing Xin Team
Referee! What happened? We almost won!
What the heck?
Dear audience, please be calm.
After checking, we've found something wrong with the network.
Our staff are try to fix it as soon as possible.
So, when the competition starts again,
we'll have 10 seconds backward.
If they have 10 seconds backward, Wei's ultimate will be a waste.
Why will they make it 10 seconds backward?
We were absolutely winning!
It's the rule of the league.
If an irresistible force caused the competition to pause,
When it starts again, it will have 10 seconds backward.
When it has 10 seconds backward, everyone retreats immediately.
Pay attention to where Windward Formation ambushes.
Xing Xin has lost one player.
As long as we maintain our strength, we'll win at last.
Got it?
Captain.
Why did we lose connection at such a time?
Maybe some network problem.
But...
How coincidental it was!
I don't believe it's just a coincidence.
It must be the Everlasting bastards!
Whether or not they were cheating, we only have one option.
We must win.
Hello, audience! Now we've got the connection back.
All players, please go back to your seats.
Our competition is about to start.
OK. Ladies and Gentlemen, the connection is back.
We are now having 10 seconds back.
Start
Let's continue. As expected, Dawn Rifle retreats immediately.
Gate of Death didn't hit them.
Seems Everlasting is changing their strategy.
They're retreating. What they want is to stall.
And to win the competition by a power play.
Xing Xin
The array of ice!
Xing Xin chooses to go after Everlasting.
They want to control and drag the enemies into the poisoned fog.
They are locked in a tangled fight.
But we've seen how tacit Xing Xin players are.
Facing a three-against-four fight,
it isn't disadvantage with their tacit cooperation.
Watch out!
Everlasting vs. Xing Xin
Both sides are in the poisoned fog.
Will Everlasting win by a power play?
Or will Xing Xin win by their tacit teamwork?
The competition is over.
Everlasting wanted to play dirty.
But they picked a wrong rival.
Everlasting
Xing Xin
Xing Xin! Xing Xin! Xing Xin!
It's Xing Xin! All three players break through the poisoned fog.
Incredible! Only such a good cooperation
could ace enemies in the poisoned fog without losing anyone.
Xing Xin made it!
Now Everlasting's substitute is in.
But only Dawn Rifle is left at the front.
Stay Here; Leopold; Three-lives Knot; Ice Wing
What happened?
Wu Chen.
If you could not defeat Xing Xin this time,
the investors would withdraw all their capital.
We can look for other investors.
Captain.
Do we have a chance to go back to the league this year?
We lost by one point the first year.
We'll have to start over for it.
The competition is way too brutal for each of us.
We were the runner-up the next year.
Always being a runner-up...
...forces us to watch others stand on the Champion podium.
Three successive years...
We can't waste any time with our age...
If we lost the competition...
...we should part our ways.
We will win this time.
Everlasting cannot be dissolved.
The competition will be over. But Dawn Rifle hasn't given up.
Ten seconds left.
Five seconds.
Three seconds.
One second.
Congratulations! Xing Xin won the competition by 10-1.
The reversal in the end showed us Xing Xin's great cooperation.
Everlasting's captain, Dawn Rifle, held on in the last few seconds.
It showed us the charm of eSports.
Glory
It's Everlasting's first championship in the Challenge.
Yeah!
We will win for a second time and a third time...
Until we get the championship trophy and return to the league.
If Everlasting survives, our morale keeps high,
we will create a miracle!
For us.
For Everlasting.
For Glory.
Go for it!
When the Challenge is over,
we'll bring our trophy and go to the highest point of the city.
Let's view the place where we've fought together.
Wait.
We've never seen the city together.
Why bother?
To make an announcement to the whole city
that Everlasting will be dissolved?
As the boss of Everlasting,
I'm sorry to announce the team
will be dissolved from today.
-Do you have any plan for the future? -What?
They are being dissolved?
No wonder they played so dirty.
Fight to win or die.
How ruthless they are!
Ruthless to their rivals and themselves.
They were competing just now, and they are dissolved now.
They fought so hard to stand out from hundreds of teams.
And made their way to the Challenge.
It's half way now.
They are dissolved suddenly.
How much time and energy they dedicated!
ESports will never look at how much effort you've put in.
It only looks at how powerful you are.
Captain Ye.
Sorry.
I cheated.
The disconnection.
Outside calls.
All my fault.
You don't need to apologize to me.
If you have time to apologize and ask for forgiveness...
I'd rather have a talk with you.
The Warlock's Cloth Armor can increase the moving speed.
Equipment List
It's suitable for your Containment strategy.
And the Cleric's Defender will buff the Health point.
And the shinobigatana...
It isn't very special.
But we made it by ourselves.
If it's OK...
I hope you will not disassemble it.
Now the silver equipment is yours.
To upgrade Xing Xin's strength with Everlasting's equipment.
I am happy.
What about you?
The day before yesterday, I sold our desks and chairs.
Yesterday I liquidated all the money in our bank accounts.
Today I've sold you all our weapons we fought with.
What's next?
I'll figure out a way to stay in Glory.
How?
With your current status, transferring to other guilds isn't easy.
Right.
My physical strength is not as competitive as younger players.
And I'm not as experienced as other veterans.
I do know that I'm in a dilemma.
But I don't want to recede.
