This had been planned from the very start. 

Upon realizing Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng's intention, the pro players instantly grasped the implications. 

Su Mucheng had repeatedly positioned herself to attack Jiang Botao in order to lure him forward. When facing a Launcher, the closer you went, the safer it was. Any pro player who had close-range battle ability would have made such a choice at that time. 

And Ye Xiu?

From the very beginning, when Lord Grim had been searching for openings and moving all around, he had already been starting to lead Zhou Zekai's movements. Zhou Zekai knew where he should stand in order to have clear lines of sight around the obstacles in the way, so Ye Xiu also knew which obstacles he should use for cover if he wanted to lure Cloud Piercer to stand where he needed him to. 

And then, charge, advance, approach. 

In order to give Lord Grim more pressure, Zhou Zekai would naturally control Cloud Piercer to move back and maintain the distance between them.
