Chapter 119 - Chapter 118: Pandaren Brewmaster
There weren’t many people in the internet cafe, but as Chen Mo sat down, someone shouted, “Wow, it’s the god gamer. You’re finally here!!”
Chen Mo was shocked to see Zou Zhuo coming out of nowhere, fearing that Chen Mo might escape or something.
Chen Mo stood down and turned on the computer.
Zou Zhuo sat next to him and said, “God gamer, there are a few other God gamers who want you to join the group I’m in. Kaiser is also in there. Kaiser actually wants to play a few games with you.”
Chen Mo replied, “Oh, but I really can’t be bothered.”
Zou Zhuo was shocked to be declined even after bringing up K-god! All God-gamers indeed stoic!
Chen Mo launched Warcraft to search from another ranked match.
Zou Zhuo was stuck in a hard place, he couldn’t get on the floor and begged like the group suggested he do.
Zou Zhuo took out his phone and set a message to the group, “I finally met SIlent again! But he’s not joining the group, what should I do? It’s very urgent!”
The messages came in pretty quickly.
“Real Silent??”
“Pics or it didn’t happen! Quick, show us a video!”
“What is there to do other than ask him to accept you as his student!”
“AAHHHHH, what’s the address? I wanna go there!”
The group had been discussing the past two days.
After Silent gained popularity, the group noticed that the player who played again Zou Zhuo was Silent!
That means Zou Zhuo has seen Silent himself, that’s incredible!
There were many in the group who said on the forums that Silent is a real person, and looked quite young too, and that someone had seen them with their own eyes. But of course nobody on the forum believed them thinking they were lies.
But the moment to prove themselves right finally arrived!
Under peer pressure, Zou Zhuo stood behind Chen Mo and took a short video. The video didn’t contain much, just Chen Mo’s incredible hand speed on the mouse and keyboard, as well as some shots of the screen.
“My goodness, this hand speed. It’s worthy of the title Ultimate Tentacle Monster!”
“You gotta be spraining your hand like that...”
“I feel like I have one less finger than he does...”
“That screen, my goodness is that played back at eight times speed? I can’t understand anything at all!”
“That hand speed is probably real!”
“But what should we do if the god doesn’t join the group? Do we need K-god to do it himself? @Kaiser”
Kaiser: “Forget about it, don’t force them to join if they don’t want to. @Zzz keep your eyes on him and learn from that.”
Everyone expressed their disappointment in chat, “Oh, that’s too bad!”
This time Chen Mo was playing against Night Elves, although they were fighting for a long time against Chen Mo’s Blademaster, they eventually lost.
Chen Mo’s rating was now at 3794.
It didn’t feel like anything special, so Chen Mo searched for another match.
-Inside the group-
“He’s searching again! Go queue, K-god! Try and queue together with Silent!”
Kaiser: “I’m in class...”
Everyone was speechless.
It took some time to search for a match as his rating was so high, it took nearly five minutes for him to get a match.
It was still morning, but there were almost four-hundred thousand total viewers across all platforms watching Silent play ranked matches. Although this was all streamers across all platforms, it was still an incredible number!
Especially last night when Silent beat Nightwind using mass towers, and then spelling out ‘NB!’ using towers on the map increased his popularity by a lot.
The audience were incredibly happy upon seeing his opponent.
“Digwa!!! Gourd god! Hahaha, Silent queued into Gourd god this time!”
“Gourd-god, please beat him with that disgusting tower strategy to make him suffer from his own invention!”
“Yeah, I agree! Gourd-god must use Silent’s strategy against himself! Avenge us!”
This Gourd-god guy’s ID was Digwa, although nobody knew its true meaning, people would just pronounce it as spelt[1].
He wanted to change his name, but as the viewers used it more, he accepted the nickname. He even changed his nickname on many platforms to Gourd.
Digwa was the top three human players in China, at three thousand seven hundred and twenty-two points, basically the same rank as Kaiser.
After loading in, Gourd was also shocked to meet Silent.
My goodness, I actually met him!
Of course Digwa saw the match yesterday of Silent vs Nightwind, and got plenty of inspiration from it. He was a Human player anyways, and had a better understanding of these strategies than anyone else, and realised that it was an amazing strategy.
He also played a few matches with other high-skilled players to confirm how good the strategy actually was.
Silent had been winning straight matches gaining a lot of points in the process. Gourd felt that he would meet Silent eventually, but didn’t expect it to be so soon.
Digwa entered in chat, “S-god, pleased to meet you.”
historical
Silent replied, “GLHF”.
Gourd was speechless, this guy really doesn’t like chatting, he’s even too lazy to reply in Chinese!
This time Silent randomed Night Elves.
The chat was incredibly exciting.
“Gourd-god, built towers! Destroy him! Make him feel the terror of Guard Towers!”
“Hahaha, what comes around goes around. It’s finally Silent’s turn to play Night Elves against Humans!”
Although they knew Digwa couldn’t see, the passion from the fans never stopped.
Digwa was probably thinking about how Silent would react if he used his strategy against him. If he beat it, that means that the strategy isn’t fool proof. If he doesn’t beat it... that means it’s a design flaw?
The Peasants were working hard to mine gold and build buildings.
The fans were plenty excited: “Hahaha, Gourd-god is doing so well! Beat him at his own game!”
The commentator was a bit nervous as they saw how strong the tower strategy was from the humans. Silent wouldn’t lose to his own strategy right?
“Alright, it seems like Gourd-god does plan to beat Silent using the towers strategy. Let’s take a look at Silent...Hmm? What’s wrong with that Altar?
From The perspective of the spectator, it was obvious that the Altar of Elders was built late, as Demon Hunter was trained much later than Archmage.
At this point, the scouting Peasants managed to find the glowing altar, and turned away immediately.
As the humans leave, the Night Elves cancel the training of the Demon Hunter. A wisp was already waiting at the Tavern in the middle of the map, and as the time came, it summoned a neutral Hero: Pandaren Brewmaster!
The viewers were shocked, there was indeed a plan in place!
“My goodness! Pandaren Brewmaster! Feel like Silent has things in store! He must’ve known that his opponent was going to use his strategy against him!
“Is the Pandaren Brewmaster good? I’ve used him before, and he felt quite squishy. Can this beat Guard Towers?
“The Brewmaster’s Breath of Fire is really strong! It can hurt buildings too! It seems like Silent came prepared!
“It looks like Gourd-god never noticed??
“Does he think that his opponent is going to be the Demon Hunter as usual?
Indeed, Digwa didn’t expect Silent to train a neutral Hero. Moreover, he saw that the Altar was glowing from his own scout!
