The Great Thief Chapter 768: Whoever He Predicts to Lose, Will Lose.
"Aiya, he shouldn't have used this badge. Lone Smoker Long barely has any ultimate skills left. Even if he let him attack, it wouldn't do much. Not to mention, Vegetarian Mosquito still has a pet left uncontrolled," Lu Li regretfully said.
Everyone thought about it for a bit and realized he was right. Another pack of presents came flying towards him.
The purpose of analysts and guests was to help players understand what was going on in the match.
"Vegetarian Mosquito seems to have made many mistakes this match," Pure White Season commented, feeling that Lu Li's opinions of him had all been negative.
He seemed determined that Vegetarian Mosquito would lose.
At this point, both players had similar amounts of health.
"Mmm, the impact of using the badge is coming into effect now," Lu Li said as he nodded and watched the match with focus. He then pointed at the Hunter who jumped around on the screen and added, "He won't be able to jump soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Hunter was stunned by the Warlock.
Having already used his badge, he could only watch as Lone Smoker Long casted his ultimate spell, which had just come off its cooldown.
"If you were the Hunter, what would you do?" Dark Wind asked Lu Li
"The first thing I would do is change my pet. Even though this pet is melee, it deals dark and poison damage. It would be better to switch to a pet that deals physical damage and can interrupt spells or Stuns. Currently, most Hunters try to deal burst damage, but I wouldn't aim for the pet, unless it was a Succubus. A Warlock's instant cast spells are faster than a Hunter's battle resurrections. Lastly, I would be careful with the usage of the badge and fake death…" Lu Li patiently explained.
His theories weren't too in-depth, but they were very useful for the average players.

Some had already begun to spend coins to buy even more presents for him.
Besides the presents given by the System upon entering the match ground, players could also spend money to purchase them. However, there was a limit set on how many presents they could buy and the prices weren't cheap. It would almost be impossible to spend money on experience.
As Lu Li had predicted, Vegetarian Mosquito quickly lost the match.
However, Lone Smoker Long wasn't left with much health either – his opponent was a skilled Hunter with an exquisite pet.
As they waited for the next round, Pure White Season asked the question that was on everyone's minds.
"Who will Peerless City send out for their second match?"
"If there are no surprises, it will probably be the Tire King," Dark Wind guessed.
"It better not be the Tire King. Otherwise, Peerless City will be in danger," Lu Li said as he chuckled softly.
His words caused a giant ripple in the crowd.
"It's Lu Li's first time on the analyst spot; it seems like he has no clue how to fake things…"
"Isn't Peerless City their ally? Why does he keep supporting Purple Lunar Paradise…"
"Some people think that they're good and they can look down on others. I hate people like this. If he can't explain himself, no more present for him."
"Why do I feel like Lu Li seems to be right, but I have no clue why?"
It wasn't just the audience questioning this, even experienced analysts like Dark Wind and Pure White Season had their doubts. Even if you're a master player, you couldn't simply say anything you wanted.
"Can you tell us why?" Pure White Season asked after taking in a deep breath to calm herself.
"See, the Tire King is here. This is slight tactical failure on Peerless City's behalf," Lu Li began, then stopped holding back and continued, "It's better to burst down a Warlock who is on the edge of dying. Green Flag Wine's burst is too low, and this will give the Warlock time to recover. If Lone Smoker Long doesn't play too aggressively, the Tire King isn't even guaranteed win."

In simpler terms, Green Flag Wine's damage was too low, and he couldn't quickly burst down his opponents.
Currently, Warlocks had far too many ways to recover their health. If you couldn't kill them, they would slowly regenerate their health back. After this, they would turn the battle into a competition of endurance, and even if Green Flag Wine won, it would be a hard-fought victory.
It would have been better to let Deadly Golden Underwear kill him with a Whirlwind.
Those who questioned Lu Li fell silent, as what was happening on the stage proved his theory.
Lone Smoker Long played like a coward. He sent out a Succubus to attack Green Flag Wine, while dodging around in the hopes of recovering his health.
After running for a while, his Dark Refund skill went off cooldown.
Dark Refund – heals you and your pet for 20% of maximum health over 12 seconds. Any healing
received during this time will be increased by 25%.
He was originally on low health, but soon, his HP bar was raised above the alert line.
Even though Green Flag Wine could occasionally hit Lone Smoker Long, his attack was too low. The damage he dealt wasn't enough to outweigh Lone Smoker Long's healing.
"Is Green Flag Wine going to lose?" The analysts were shocked by how bugged the Warlock class seemed.
"I don't think so; Green Flag Wine already knows what to do," Lu Li said as he shook his head. He never guaranteed that this was a loss for Green Flag Wine.
A top celebrity player might not even lose even if they run into a class counter. Not to mention, Warlocks weren't a counter for Paladins, but Green Flag Wine probably wouldn't be able to keep any skills up his sleeves for his next opponent.
Green Flag Wine had originally planned to kill another player after Lone Smoker Long.
After he realized that Lone Smoker Long was no easy target, he used his movement speed boost and burst skills. Under the right circumstances, he would toss them all onto his target without any hesitation.
Most of Lone Smoker Long's skills were on cooldown, and the same went for a few of his equipment effects. After he used up all of his skills, he would eventually lose the match.
However, things weren't easy for Green Flag Wine either. Having been constantly kited by Long Smoker Long, he had already lost 40% of his health.
Overall, because of the order that these players were sent out, Peerless City was at a disadvantage. Everyone who was watching the match felt a newfound respect for Lu Li.
What was it like to be called a top player?
This was a top player, unlike the other guest competitors who only provided middle-ground answers. These answers seemed right at first, but after you thought about them for a while, you would realize that they were empty words that couldn't be wrong either way.
However, Lu Li was different. If he predicted that someone would lose, they would definitely lose. He said that Peerless City had sent out the wrong player, and now, they had to suffer the consequences.
The second player that Purple Lunar Paradise sent was Dark Destroyer.
Dark Destroyer was one of the best Warrior players, and was one of the two celebrity competitors that Purple Lunar Paradise had.
Warrior versus Paladin – this was a crowd-favorite fight between two plated classes.
"Dark Destroyer can probably end the match with half of his health remaining," Lu Li said, beginning to make more bold predictions. Not only was he going to predict the outcome this time, but he was even going to guess their ending health.
