The average viewer wasn't able to catch this subtlety. From what they saw, the two had finally come across each other. Ye Xiu made the first move, while Zhou Zekai nimbly evaded it.
On the other hand, the pro players also knew that Ye Xiu had tried to create an opportunity through careful positioning. However, the only ones who truly understood the subtleties within this interaction were Ye Xiu and Zhou Zekai.
Two shots!
The moment they saw each other, Ye Xiu fired two shots at him before he could even react.
Zhou Zekai didn't only possess outstanding mechanic prowess. He wouldn't become arrogant because people were calling him the number one player in Glory, but he wouldn't be too modest, either. Modesty and arrogance could both lead to errors in judgement.
Zhou Zekai was confident in himself and could notice the discrepancies in a situation.
His opponent had fired two shots before he could react!
This wasn't a coincidence.
