He didn't curse or throw the keyboard. He just used his right hand to gently wipe away a drop of blood spattered on the screen, and then clicked "Replay".
Three times, five times, ten times... He counted every frame delay, every millisecond between key presses. That set of combos, which were officially called "program errors" and "garbage operations," was forcibly spelled out by him in a banned underground competition three years ago using his severed left hand and half of the keyboard. At that time, Ye Xiao crossed his legs in the live broadcast room with a sneer on his lips: "This operation? Even the AI is too lazy to recognize it."
But now, the video of Ye Xiao's victory is going viral all over the Internet.
"God's operation!" "Is this reaction speed possible for humans?!" "37 Seconds with zero mistakes, a miracle in the history of e-sports!"
Li Ran stared at the replay of the semi-final, his fingers hovering above the keyboard, trembling slightly. He remembered that moment - Night Owl's shadow assassin moved in reverse in a desperate situation, connected with three consecutive attacks, and finally ended the opponent with a "line-breaking flash slash". That trick is not original.
That was Li Ran's incomplete routine that he created three years ago in the Ruins League, using a severed hand and a broken computer, repeatedly debugging, failing, and debugging again, and finally formed it. At that time, he was called a lunatic and ridiculed for having "end-stage cancer in his hand," and even the referee judged that his "operation was abnormal and suspected of being a cheat."
But Night Owl stole it.
