Brilliant Edge finally fell.

In front of Zhou Zekai, even an All Star player and character was thoroughly defeated. Yu Feng hadnt made any obvious mistakes. It was simply because Zhou Zekai was that much better of a player.

Such a brilliant performance was enough to move anyone. Usually, even if this was an away game for Team Samsara, even if Team Blue Rains fans made up the majority of the audience, such a splendid display would still win an explosive applause.

However, the entire stadium was silent.

Those who werent fans of Team Blue Rain held back with polite applause because this fight was too crucial for this match. Team Blue Rains strategic arrangement was very obvious. Yu Feng had been sent out specifically to win them at least one round of the individual competition. With Yu Feng defeated handily, how would Team Blue Rain fare against the rest of Team Samsaras remaining line-up?

Under such a situation, how could any of Team Blue Rains fans cheer for their opponents beautiful performance?

The fans of Team Blue Rain looked at the two remaining players on the screen and their hearts fell. These two players couldnt even be considered as part of Team Blue Rains main roster. Team Blue Rains captain, Yu Wenzhou, rarely appeared in individual competitions. Xu Jingxis character was a Paladin. Even though Paladins excelled at defense, their offense was weak. Healers like Paladins rarely appeared in the individual competition or the group arena.

Thus, of Team Blue Rains six main players that usually played in the team competition, only four remained.

Yu Feng had been put in the individual competition as insurance. The remaining three would naturally participate in the group arena. As for the individual competition, the other two players could only be considered as second-string subs.

And these two substitute players would be facing Samsaras Lu Boyuan, who was currently at peak condition, and Samsaras vice-captain and All Star player, Jiang Botao.

When the second round of the individual competition began, the fans were even somewhat distracted. The commentator and guest had talked for a while before the audience managed to refocus. They just remembered that this was when their team needed the most encouragement!

Everyone began cheering.

GLORY!!

This single word appeared on the big screen and the stadium once again fell into silence.

Lu Boyuans Grappler, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain, finished his opponent with a throw into the air. When his opponent crashed into the ground, his opponent died. Team Samsara now lead 2-0.

The third round of the individual competition suddenly became the match point.

If Team Samsara won, they would directly be named the season eight champions. If Team Blue Rain won, they still had the possibility of winning. If they won both the upcoming group arena and team competitions, they would be able to catch up to Team Samsara in terms of points. In the first match of the finals, Team Samsara had beaten Team Blue Rain in this third round. Originally, people thought that Team Blue Rain had the ability to fight head to head with Team Samsara, but now that the competition had reached this stage, very few people could look at Team Blue Rain with a favorable light.

Team Samsaras next player was their vice-captain and All Star player, Jiang Botao.

As for Team Blue Rain? The players name was Lin Feng, a Thief. Its said that top teams had no weak players, so even a second-string player like Lin Feng couldnt be considered bad, but against a formidable adversary like Jiang Botao and his Spellblade, Empty Waves, it truly was difficult to compare the two.

"Lin Feng! You can do it!!!" This time, the fans of Team Blue Rain didnt hesitate. It was their last chance. Thinking too much would be meaningless.

Would Lin Feng be Team Blue Rains saving grace?

The commentator and guest began a lengthy discussion. What pressure? What critical moment? The audience was starting to get angry hearing them speak. They knew that these two were speaking the truth, but their words only made them aggravated. The audience began cheering harder and louder. The commentator and guest were speaking into a mic, but their words were drowned out. Fortunately, the round soon began. The noise gradually lessened. Many of the nervous fans forgot to continue cheering.

Even the audience was feeling nervous from the pressure. Could they imagine how the players felt?

Lin Feng was a second-string player on Team Blue Rain. He probably never thought he would one day be the focal point in the finals. Victory seemed to be entirely in his hands. His opponent, Jiang Botao, didnt receive as much attention. Most people clearly hoped the competition would continue and Team Samsara wouldnt just win at this point.

Pressure!

As the focal point of this round, the commentator and guest analyzed how this pressure might affect each player.

As for Lin Feng?

He didnt tremble because of the pressure, but he was still affected by it. He played extremely carefully. He knew his loss would end their chance at becoming champions this season, so he always wanted to be in an advantageous position. Defense first and always pay attention to his retreat path.

Was that the correct choice?

No one could say. Winners were praised and the losers were vilified. If he won, people would say he was calm and collected. If he lost, he would be criticized for being too conservative.

The guest Li Yibo was an experienced old fox. In the beginning, when he talked about Lin Fengs playstyle, he just casually said a few surface words like an advisor who said nothing of importance. As the battle continued and he saw Jiang Botao seize the upperhand, Li Yibo began taking the side of whoever was winning and bravely spoke: "Tsk, Lin Feng is being too conservative! However, I can understand where hes coming from. He has too much of a burden on his shoulders. A second-string player like him rarely has to handle such pressure. Team Blue Rain originally tried to relieve this kind of pressure, so they sent Yu Feng out first. However, the heavy burden now rests on Lin Fengs shoulders."

Li Yibo was originally a pro player and was now a famous commentator. Even though he would occasionally mutter something incomprehensible, not look at things thoroughly enough, and say incorrect things, but for Li Yibo to be sitting there right now, he had the matching ability. He could see that Lin Fengs situation was not looking good.

Everyones hearts thumped loudly and wouldnt calm down.

This fight couldnt be considered great. There werent any flashy or intense moments. The audience, as well as the commentator and guests, were mainly focused on Lin Feng. In truth, Lin Fengs opponent Jiang Botao was also playing this fight extremely carefully. As long as he didnt lose, they would become the champions. He was also under a lot of pressure.

There was a famous saying amongst the players called the nameless round in the finals.

Because in these crucial and decisive fights, most people would play more carefully. They didnt want to make any mistakes. Completely ignoring everything and playing with vigor required bravery and courage.

This third round of the individual competition definitely wouldnt be a famous one.

Both players were playing very carefully, but Jiang Botao still held the advantage.

The pressure on him was less. His skill level and his characters skill levels were higher than Lin Fengs in the first place.

If Lin Feng wanted to win, he needed to play explosively and surpass himself. If he continued to play carefully without any sudden surprises or tricks, victory would go to whoever would win on paper.

In the end, Lin Fengs Thief couldnt hold on. When he was down to the last few hitpoints, Jiang Botaos Empty Waves bravely attacked. Perhaps it was because the two had been fighting each other so cautiously the entire time. Lin Feng had gotten used to this careful rhythm, so Jiang Botaos courageous attack caused Lin Feng to stumble.

He originally wasnt as good and now, he panicked.

Jiang Botao quickly took advantage. His magic formations covered the field and the magic undulations from his attacks finally finished off Lin Fengs Thief.

Lin Feng wasnt able to create a miracle. The word GLORY appeared on screen and Li Yibo sighed: "He was just playing too passively!"

"How insightful..." The commentator said.

The match ended. In the individual competition, Team Samsara beat Team Blue Rain 3-0; With a total point tally of 10.5-2.5, the champion had been decided.

An early end to the finals had actually happened.

The majority of the stadium remained silent. There were a few cheers and some applause too though. Team Blue Rains home stadium wasnt entirely made up of Team Blue Rains fans. Many of them were neutral and some were Team Samsara fans. The people, who were happily cheering, were mostly Team Samsaras fans. Only they wouldnt mind an early end to the finals.

Because this meant that Team Samsara was that much more superior to Team Blue Rain.

"If I remember correctly, this is the first time in Glory history that a finals has ended early....." The commentator said. He had obviously prepared this little speech beforehand. With this being a possibility, he must had made preparations of what to say, had this possibility occurred.

"Yes, youre right." Li Yibo nodded his head: "This is the first time."

"Lets give our congratulations to Team Samsara for becoming Glorys season eight champions! This is also the fifth team in the Alliance to win a championship. There were previously only four teams, which managed to win the championships before. One of them is Team Excellent Era, which won the first three championships in a row. Unfortunately, we wont be seeing them next season."

"Team Tyranny broke Team Excellent Eras streak and became the season four champions. Those who are familiar with Team Tyranny roster back then would know that the person sitting next to me, Li Yibo, was one of Team Tyrannys former members. He retired the summer after Team Tyranny won the championships."

"Haha." Li Yibo laughed modestly.

"Team Tiny Herb made it into the finals three years in a row. They once had the opportunity to establish their own era. Unfortunately, they were usurped in season six by Team Blue Rain, who stopped them from becoming the champions three years in a row."

"Now, lets congratulate our season eight champions, Team Samsara!!!"
