Chapter 113 - Can’t tell what’s going on!
The match ended after seventeen minutes.
Zou Zhuo typed GG as he stared at his Deathknight die with disbelief.
(GG stands for good game, usually by the loser first, praising how well their opponent played. This was usually done out of respect, with no negative connotations.)
At the end-screen, Zou Zhuo scratched his head out of confusion. He didn’t quite understand how he was beaten, and just felt like he lost in every single aspect.
His opponent didn’t do anything special either, going with the usual Blademaster +2. However, this felt completely different to the other matches Zou Zhuo played previously. He was on his backfoot the entire match, and felt that the game was never in his favour.
Moreover, he would lose small things here and there and would never manage to gain them back.
Zou Zhuo thought that the game lasted twenty or so minutes, only to discover at the end of the game that it only lasted seventeen minutes.
The spectators were also in shock.
“@Kiaser K-god, could you take a look at these replays? I’ve looked at them for so long and still haven’t figured out how I lost. It feels like I just lost mechanically. But I thought my mechanics were decent? Is the skill gap that big?”
No replies.
Zou Zhuo was a bit butthurt but it couldn’t be helped as Kaiser was hard to reach and was quite quiet in the group. Moreover, it was normal that he wasn’t online when he wasn’t streaming.
It didn’t take long before someone watched the replay between Zou Zhuo and Chen Mo.
“What? I just watched Zzz’s match, were you playing at 80% hp? @Zzz”
Zou Zhuo was speechless, “No, it’s 100%.”
“Why does your Crypt Fiend look like it’s made of paper, the Blademaster one hits all of them.”
Zou Zhuo: “I don’t know either!”
“Why was it Undead vs Orc in the first and Undead vs Night Elves in the second? Are they two different people?”
Zou Zhuo replied, “It’s the same guy, he beat me twice playing random!”
“What the, you’re joking right? Were you playing seriously? These were so one-sided.”
Zou Zhuo replied, “You think I wasn’t playing serious? I gave it everything I had!”
“Well, I don’t know then.”
A few other players looked at Zou Zhuo’s replays, but none of them could tell how he lost either. As both parties were using normal tactics and were basically mirroring each other’s movements, Zou Zhuo always lost horribly.
It just wasn’t the same watching replays compared to watching in person, it was even harder to tell in replays how fast the players were moving from replays. There were many players that were worse than Zou Zhuo, so what could they tell from the replay?
All they could tell was that Zou Zhou has a huge army! Zou Zhuo is attacking! Zou Zhuo has the upper hand! Zou Zhuo GG’d!
There wasn’t much Zou Zhuo could do as most of the better players were always quiet, and the frequent users weren’t usually that good.
Alright, I’ll probably have to wait for K-god’s reply.
