Chapter 33


 

The third round had begun.

Ai Qing exhaled a long breath.

 

“The map this round is Merry Go Around.  It’s a relatively small map.  We’ll most likely see some battles right from the start.”  The male commentator spoke with great exuberance.  This was the first time he ever saw the tank king of Terran use the Zerg.  It was quite an interesting situation.  “I didn’t expect to see such a map in the final round.”

“Inin, as a Terran, always likes quick attacks.  But n.o.body knows what he’ll do as Zerg...”

“Let’s wait and see.”

“Yes, let’s wait and see.”


Immediately after the round started, the map was a frenzy of activity.

In the early game, Inin’s made a risky play, before the opponent was ready, and decisively eliminated half of the opponents workers, a complete bloodbath.  “Amazing.  Inin’s very decisive.  He’s delay his opponent quite a bit……”

Following the commentator’s explanation.

Inin did not lessen the hara.s.sment.  He was managing the pace of the game very well.

“Dt.  Dt also got several workers!”

“It’s very fast paced.  Dt has taken the advantage!  Dt has taken back the lead!”

 

Dt turned began to turn around his early disadvantage, growing more familiar with this “unfamiliar” opponent as the battle continued.

Ai Qing bit her straw tightly.  She was nervous.

“All right.  Inin is choosing not to ama.s.s a larger army and instead is hara.s.sing three of Dt’s mining bases.”

“Two minutes.  Dt’s fourth base is delayed for at least two minutes to complete construction.”

……

 

So nervous.

“Inni’s trying to trap Dt in a pincer.  Dt saw it!  He’s caught Inin’s flanking units out of position!”

 

“The number of online viewer keeps rising.”  The male commentator reported the number excitedly.  “It is already over thirty million!”

Too nervous.

Ai Qing stood up abruptly.  She lowered her head to drink the iced tea while walking to the audience area.  She was too familiar with what tactics Inin was going to use.  But she didn’t know how Dt was going to respond.

Facing an “unfamiliar” type of player, he would definitely change up his own tactics.

Apparently the female commentator behind Dt was a fan.  She was too nervous to keep up with the change of tactics.  She clenched her fist standing behind Dt and kept breathing deeply.  The male commentator did most of the commentating himself.  Because he stood behind Inin, he could only see Zerg.  Thus Ai Qing, whose back was facing the large screen, couldn’t hear any comment about Dt’s Protoss.

……

 

She clenched her fist tightly and turned around at the last row of audience seats.

She stood at the highest point inside the arena to watch the final round.

 

There was fierce fighting everywhere.  Both players were constantly trying to improve their own position while attacking the other.

Forty minutes and thirty-six seconds, Dt destroyed one of Inin’s b

ases.

Almost at the same time, only ten seconds later, Inin destroyed two of Dt’s bases.

Fifty-nine minutes, Dt destroyed three of his opponents bases simultaneously.  He also annihilated a large army at his front.

Sixty minutes, Inin took back one his own expansions.

 

A relentless cycle.

Determination and constant maneuvering were both indispensable.

 

Both surged over 400 APM.

This number had surpa.s.sed Korea’s top professional players’ 350+. [1]

“Dt’s above 400 again.”  The people in front of her were probably his fans.  Though they weren’t sitting among a large fan group, but obviously the man and the woman were both visibly nervous.  They held the back of the chairs in front and yelled as if n.o.body was around.  “There it goes again!”

“Wow!”  They both looked at each other.

Ai Qing’s eyes brightened too.

Wonderful.  Inin you were great.  He exchanged main bases with Dt at the last moment.

Almost……

Almost…...lost.

She exhaled a long breath.

 

What she hadn’t expected was that this was just the first exchange.  In the following ten minutes, the two exchanged their main base three times.  It all happened when one took the other’s base, leading to the other taking back another base shortly afterwards.  At last, when they confronted each other face to face, Inin finally showed his weakness.

It was exactly as the commentator had said from the start.  The reason that Dt was called the Protoss master was because he had absolute perfect positioning.

She could provide the tactics.

But maneuvering……

“Ah!”  The male commentator was becoming emotional.  “Zerg was caught in a bad position!  Too bad!”

The female commentator excitedly held her chest.  Finally she was back to normal at the last moment.  “Now!  There"s a huge gap between their economies.  We will win soon!  We absolutely will win!”

The male commentator was dumbfounded.  He eye signalled the female commentator to behave.

But she obviously didn’t have time to look at him.  She watching her own idol Dt……

 

Seven minutes later.

The third round was over.

The whole game lasted for two hours and nineteen minutes.  It was the longest game up till now in this compet.i.tion.  But it wasn’t because a player was stalling.  Both had comparable tactics.  They exchanged bases several times.  The number of online viewer had risen to forty million at one point.  It was the record high of the entire compet.i.tion.

 

Inin, you had lost gloriously.

Ai Qing wanted to drink more tea, but found the box had already deflated long ago.

She laughed and looked at the large screen.  Both players stood up as the audience cheered.

 

Dt took of his earphones and put on his baseball hat again.  He stretched out his hand, “Great game, Inin.”

This was…...since Inin met him, this was the most enjoyable compet.i.tion he had ever played.  Like he had said before, the reason he came to SP was to be Dt’s opponent.  He wanted to enjoy the feeling of being his opponent.

But the idol stretched out his hand…...Inin felt more exhilarated than if a girl had confessed to him.  He reached out both hands to hold Dt’s hand:  “You are really great too.  No, you are always the greatest!”

Dt looked at him.  Suddenly he was a little bit jealous of him.  He was jealous that he was her teammate and received all her support.

But…..

He wanted to find where she was.

When he found that she wasn’t at her seat, he curiously looked around.

Among the congratulations from the sincere commentator, referees, and the fans crowding up to him, he was stubbornly trying to locate her.

 

Ai Qing, if it was you who actually sat here today.

Who would have won?

 

Ai Qing stood at the highest point looking at the close up of his face on the large screen. While she was grumbling about his bad habit of wearing a hat making it impossible to see his eyes and expression, she lightly mumbled, “If I wasn’t retired, you may not win, Wu Bai.”
