Jaden in the group also felt a little helpless.
Actually, that Ice Armor Spider from earlier, although it was quite disgusting.
But now, looking back on it, he felt that if he had really played well, it wasn't like he had no chance at all.
It's just that he didn't know what was going on at the time. Seeing this brand new tactic, he was shocked, which directly led to his control feeling a bit more unskilled than usual.
And ultimately lost that crucial engagement.
Jaden: "But Lucas is really something else. I've never seen such a strong designer."
Satellite: "He's really amazing. But it feels like it would have been better if the wolf riders had gone for wind riders."
Jaden: "It's all hindsight now. I even said your game would have been better if you had gone for a prophet!"
Soo: "Honestly, the three of us didn't exactly embarrass ourselves. We used our personal experience to prove that the Orcs are not the strongest this version."
Everyone else in the group watched the three of them chatting and were all speechless.
How are they not the strongest this version? Watching those three games, it felt like the Orcs were complete losers!
"Honestly, Gourd should be playing the last game tonight, right?" someone in the group said.
"That's right, my Orc glory can't just fall like this!" Soo added fuel to the fire.
"Gourd! Gourd! Gourd!" Satellite was also sending messages in the group.
Mainly because a group of them, as pro players, got beaten by a designer, and it really felt a bit embarrassing.
The key is that everyone felt quite frustrated, because when they were playing, they all felt that their control was actually a little better than Lucas'.
But the point is that they didn't even reach the stage where control was truly tested.
Basically, they were suppressed right from the start.
And in that suppression stage, facing those novel tactics for the first time, none of them knew how to deal with them.
By the time they had a rough idea, they had basically missed the golden opportunity and directly entered a disadvantageous stage.
If they were to play Lucas' tactics against them again, they all felt like they could win.
But they were too embarrassed to do that.
Now, everyone was focusing their attention on Gourd.
Moreover, many people also wanted to see how Gourd would deal with Lucas' tactics, so they could use it as a reference.
"You guys!" Gourd in the group was also speechless, but at the same time, he also felt a little eager to try.
......
As for the official live stream, it was even more lively.
Countless comments were like it was New Year's.
And Sean on the commentary desk was trying to laugh but holding it back, his expression was just priceless.
"This is so unscientific!" Dylan was starting to doubt himself at this point. Was he really cursed?
Why did whoever he favor die!?
But he was clearly analyzing things very scientifically and rationally!
Why was this happening!?
"Mike, the comments are all saying that you boosted him well!" Sean said from the side.
"Damn it! Stop saying I boosted him, okay? We need to believe in science! Boss Lucas is indeed very strong, but he also makes mistakes when he plays, and we say things based on the facts. Boss Lucas' fundamentals are indeed not as good as pro players'!" Dylan defended himself, and he even blurted out a couple of his catchphrases in his excitement.
"Mike, you still favor the pro players!?" Sean quietly tested him, tempting him.
"I already got the news, okay? The last player to play is Gourd! The strongest Orc player right now, and Boss Lucas' earlier tactics have all been used already. What reason do I have to believe that Boss Lucas can win?" Although there were already three victims, Dylan had never changed his opinion, because he was a professional commentator.
Others can doubt you, but you can't doubt yourself. He believed in his own judgment.
"Mike, it's not that I don't believe in your judgment. I think Boss Lucas' performance today, whether it's myself, the pro players, or the viewers, everyone is impressed." Sean said in a very sincere tone.
"Regarding the balance of "Warcraft," I think everyone should have no doubts, because Boss Lucas' level is there for everyone to see. If Boss Lucas was a noob, then you could definitely say he doesn't understand, but now it's clear that Boss Lucas himself is also a powerful player and understands the balance of the various races in the game very well."
"As the saying goes, even a horse can stumble, and everyone makes mistakes. Gourd is strong, that's right, but Boss Lucas is honestly not weak. Mike, don't you want to think about it again?" Sean revealed his true intentions.
"No need to think about it. I still firmly believe in my opinion. Gourd is invincible, okay? Don't you favor Gourd?" Dylan countered.
"To be honest, compared to Boss Lucas, I do also favor Gourd more, after all, Boss Lucas has basically played all three races today, and Gourd should have been watching the whole time, so I think Boss Lucas might be in trouble in the last game." Sean still stood by his good friend at this moment.
"That's right, we commentators need to talk about science! Don't always believe in superstition. I don't believe Boss Lucas can still be hiding tactics and beat Gourd. It's impossible!" Dylan said.
"Yeah, you guys stop talking. If Boss Lucas can beat Gourd, Mike and I will shave our heads to celebrate." Sean said, looking at the various comments in the live stream.
"That's right, if Boss Lucas can win, we'll shave our heads, but that's impossible!" Dylan said.
......
Completely unaware that someone had made a bet involving shaving their heads based on his win or loss, Lucas now felt that his condition could be described as unprecedentedly good.
At the same time, he felt a sense of surprise.
The commentators still didn't favor him?
He originally thought that after beating one or two pro players, the commentators might start to lean towards him. He clearly felt that in the third game, so the win was relatively close.
Moreover, the opponent in the third game was weaker than the ones in the first and second games. Luckily, he felt that mysterious power again at a critical moment, otherwise, he probably would have lost that game.
Why did they still not favor him?
Even though this opponent called Gourd was indeed very strong.
In the comments on the live stream, the viewers were all excited.
"Here it comes, here it comes, I wonder if Boss Lucas can beat Gourd!"
"It's not impossible!"
"Anyway, I hope Boss Lucas wins, that would be too awesome!"
"I'd rather see two people shave their heads!"
"Huh, CH (Concealed Hill) Zack map, why did Boss Lucas choose Night Elf? Is he going to play that mining style? But this map is too small? Isn't he going to get found as soon as he upgrades to tier 2?"
Many knowledgeable players in the live stream were a little surprised.
One characteristic of this Zack map is that the terrain is relatively narrow, which is not good for large-scale battles with high population units in the late game.
But the key is that the Orc's power period isn't very late. After reaching tier 2, with the high mobility and ensnare ability of the wolf riders, whether it's the AOE exploding tauren or the controlling and healing point shamans, they're very useful for beating fragile Night Elves.
And the most important point is that Lucas' previous mining style is basically difficult to pull off on this Zack map.
Dylan and Sean were also introducing the current situation on the field, after all, it involved their hair.
"Boss Lucas built a line of buildings to block the entrance to prevent the opponent's first hero Blademaster from harassing him. The Tree of War is still placed next to the creep point to level up later. He can go back and blocked the entrance, but he only built one archer, and he didn't choose a neutral creep, but rather the Demon Hunter as his first hero?" Dylan was a little puzzled.
"This is a little conventional, but also a little unconventional!" Sean also said that he didn't quite understand it.
"But Gourd is very confident, directly using the default Altar, Burrow, Barracks, Shop opening." Sean continued.
"Hey, he directly leveled the white fatty next to him and got lucky, a Ring of Protection dropped, all stats +2, that's a pretty good item, but he's not going to keep leveling? He went straight to the neutral shop?"
