Chapter 128 Rebounding Throwables
London time 3 PM, the final day of the FGS finals has arrived as scheduled!
Yesterday's elimination match saw OMG still unable to withstand the wildcard team, regretfully bidding farewell to the FGS stage.
I heard they rushed to catch a plane back this morning, probably too embarrassed to stay in London any longer.
Thinking back to last year, OMG shone brilliantly on the stage and took the championship.
Bluehole even made special team uniforms and exclusive weapons with the OMG logo for them.
Even the highest billboard in the Picado boxing ring on the desert map had the letters "OMG" on it. They were the center of attention and unstoppable at the time.
But who could have known that in just a year, OMG would fall so far, from first place to last. The blow was too harsh.
However, in competitions, it has always been a case of "the winner takes all." Teams that fall from grace don't get much attention or screen time.
All three Korean teams were playing in the elimination matches yesterday. However, with no interference from 4AM, two of the Korean teams successfully advanced, with only AFF being eliminated.
This was exciting news for Korean viewers, as their championship dreams were reignited. They believed their country's teams could sweep 4AM in the finals and reclaim their honor by taking first place!
Of course, they are confident, but whether RGS and VSG share the same confidence is another matter.
The most watched team this year is undoubtedly 4AM.
This legendary team, which set records by winning four consecutive chicken dinners in the group stages, became the focal point for countless PUBG fans worldwide.
Especially Jiang Siming, who is being spoken of as a myth, a superhero.
What kind of performance he will deliver today is the question on everyone's mind.
Compared to the last two days of the competition, the central stage of the venue now features a massive trophy—this is the trophy for this year's champion.
At this moment, the live streams on major platforms in China are already packed with viewers.
Just the Douyu stream alone has more than 20 million viewers.
"Hurry up, I've got work tomorrow."
"Waiting for 4AM to win the championship! I'll stay up all night if I have to!"
"Watching with my roommates, we've got BBQ and beer ready, waiting for God Ming to be crowned a legend!"
"He's already a legend! The group stages were a myth!"
"The group stage and finals are different. The teams in the finals are the top 16 out of 24 teams worldwide, all incredibly strong."
"Go 17!"
...
It's not just the viewers who are watching the live stream. Even streamer Dai Xiaomei and Tuan Tuan had started their streams early, waiting.
"We're not playing games today, hehe. Today, every time Brother Ming kills someone, I'll give away 10,000 yuan in my stream to celebrate!" Dai Xiaomei said on her stream.
"Tina, why is this trophy so big? When Brother Ming brings it back today, I'll definitely ask him to let me hold it for a bit. I've never held a trophy before~" Tuan Tuan said on her stream.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Even singing streamers Zhou Zike and Xiao Sophie were watching, saying they were too tired from singing and wanted to watch the match today.
Zhao Xuan had long instructed Douyu to prepare a celebration event. As soon as 4AM wins the championship, Douyu would launch the celebration simultaneously.
Of course, if they didn't win, all the preparations would go to waste.
But Zhao Xuan said she didn't care. After all, it was for her man. Even if all the money spent on planning was wasted, it wouldn't matter.
The first match of the finals officially began.
The first map was the desert.
The North American teams excel on the desert map. They love playing it and, whether in practice or casual games, they play this map the most.
In contrast, Chinese teams focus more on the island map and play the desert map less frequently.
"It's the finals now, brothers, let's give it our all. Old Jiang, maybe don't mess around in the first game, let's play it safe," Wei Shen said.
"Coward," Jiang Siming sneered.
"Hehe," Wei Shen didn't mind. As long as Jiang Siming was with them, their morale would always be high.
The flight path was from north to south, leaning slightly west.
Wei Shen marked the far upper-right military base, a very cautious location, but there might be others flying there too.
The moment Jiang Siming jumped off the plane, he noticed that someone else was flying with them.
"What should we do, should we give up?" Wang Duoyu asked.
Jiang Siming immediately refused, "Give up? No way. Letting them have it for free will just mess up our entire rhythm. Fight them. With me here, what are you afraid of?"
Hearing this, Wang Duoyu's confidence surged. Yeah, with Brother Jiang around, what's there to fear?
Hadn't they already experienced the feeling of relying on a strong player during the group stage? Experience new tales on empire
It seemed that yesterday's sightseeing in London had made them a bit forgetful.
The four of them dived rapidly toward the ground. The military base was a bit far, and they had to get a vehicle. Otherwise, if they drifted too long with their parachutes, it would take forever.
Jiang Siming, with his eagle eye, spotted a motorcycle at a T-junction while still in the air and immediately aimed for it, diving straight down.
The other team noticed it too and sent two players over to grab the vehicle.
But when they opened their parachutes and tried to land, they were dumbfounded. Jiang Siming was several seconds faster and was already sitting on the motorcycle.
"Baka, retreat! Go loot elsewhere!" ordered Kanegawa Rojitsu, the captain of Japan's BB team.
However, the two players had already opened their parachutes, and there was nothing but barren sand dunes around them. It was too late to pull away, so they had no choice but to land on a distant dune, planning to run away.
There was no way Jiang Siming would let them get away so easily. Ignoring his teammate who had landed nearby, he revved the motorcycle and charged toward the two players.
"Shibai! Shibai! Find cover quickly!" Kanegawa Rojitsu panicked, trying to find cover, but the nearest rock was 50 meters away.
Jiang Siming's motorcycle was already behind him. He tried to dodge, but Jiang Siming hit him head-on, sending him flying.
After knocking him down, Jiang Siming didn't stop and ran over the second BB player as well.
Xiao Xingmu came over and punched both players to finish them off.
Ding!
One of the loot boxes glowed with a white light.
Jiang Siming got off the bike and picked it up.
Xiao Xingmu teased with a smile, "Brother Jiang, that was an easy kill, and you still want to loot his gear?"
"I'm just checking out his outfit style," Jiang Siming replied, almost making Xiao Xingmu choke on his own spit.
"Picked up [Throwable Deflection] White Fragment *1 (1/2). Fragment count incomplete, cannot use yet."
Throwable Deflection? What the hell?
Jiang Siming checked the skill description. It explained that this skill could deflect 100% of any throwables back at the enemy, but it required a frying pan.
Damn! This skill was awesome!
If he managed to collect it and use it, when someone threw a grenade at him, he could swat it back with a frying pan!
Just imagining the move felt so flashy and cool! It was the perfect skill for showing off and being stylish!
Too bad he needed another piece. Jiang Siming wasn't discouraged though, he'd find it sooner or later.
He got back on the motorcycle, picked up Xiao Xingmu, and headed toward the military base.
He really wanted to kill the remaining two BB players, but after seeing their teammates get killed, and realizing it was Jiang Siming, the killing god, who took them down, the two Japanese players ran for their lives like they had seen the plague.
Jiang Siming almost wanted to tell them, "Don't be scared. I just want to kill you, no need to be so nervous."
