"It can't be that bad." This was Li Huailin's first reaction. "Didn't you say that our opponents today weren't that strong? I seem to remember that it was the team called LGD that Brushing Sleeves belongs to. There are only two S-rank players in the team. We have four S-rank players on our side. How could we lose? "
"It's true. It's all my fault." Li Jianyi said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. What did this have to do with Li Jianyi? Even if they didn't play well, it was a problem with the players' performance. It shouldn't have anything to do with Li Jianyi. However, after listening to Li Jianyi's explanation, Li Huailin roughly understood what was going on.
The situation was like this. Ever since the Hua Xia Region changed to a team system, a few new mechanisms were introduced. One of the more important ones was the competition's ranking system. In the past, the competition had been decided by the competition authorities, so whoever was called would be the one to fight. There was nothing to say. But after the team system was changed, the competition authorities only decided which teams would fight each other. As for the order of appearance, it was decided by the team leader before the competition. As long as the official members of the team had already registered, they would only decide who would appear before the competition. Every team needed at least four people and a maximum of seven people. Hence, before the competition started, everyone would know who the real matchups were.
This sounded insignificant, but it was actually very important. It was just like Tian Ji's horse race. Even if one's overall strength was not as good as the opponent's, it was very likely that one could turn the tables and win by guessing the opponent's ranking. This was very important to victory.
The current round-robin competition had a total of four to five matches. The first four matches were all 1v1 matches. If the score was 3-1, the competition would end immediately. If the score was 2-2, it would be an ace match. Ace matches allowed the use of duplicate players. This meant that an ace player could score two points in the competition.
Regarding the change in the competition system, many people had already sensed the opportunity within. In fact, because the team system was not originally created by the Hua Xia region, it was already very mature in other countries' professional competitions. The Hua Xia region's competition system was basically a copy of this mature competition system. Therefore, many teams had already made preparations in advance. Some of the smarter companies not only learned the system, but they also hired team leaders, who were retired pro players from other countries who had participated in team competitions. They had a lot of experience in team competitions.
On the other hand, Huaxing's side was more rushed. In fact …. Huaxing was even ostracized by others. This kind of thing actually only needed to be mentioned to the company and Li Jianyi would be able to react. However, there was absolutely no one who told Li Jianyi about this. Li Jianyi himself also didn't react. This was because even though Huaxing was last year's Best Company, their foundation was completely lacking. Li Jianyi himself was already badly battered by the large amount of capital and advertisements pouring in. He didn't expect that a problem would occur here.
Huaxing's SOZ team leader was Li Jianyi. Right now, it was already too late to hire someone else. Li Jianyi himself wasn't a pro player, he was just a capitalist. Regarding this kind of arrangement, he had absolutely no experience at all. He could only rely on temporary solutions.
As for Li Jianyi's arrangement today, first, the most stable Feng Yiliu would be the vanguard. This way, he should be able to take down the first set. Then, the weakest of the group, Jiang Xueyi, would be the second. It didn't matter if he lost, because Talent of a Famous General and Sharpshooter should still be able to secure points. Therefore, Jiang Xueyi also came out to slightly accumulate a bit of competition experience. Therefore, the third and fourth would naturally be Talent of a Famous General and Sharpshooter.
This series of arrangements sounded very reasonable. Because today's opponents weren't very strong, Li Jianyi was also preparing to train his troops. He was a bit careless, and in the end, he was caught unprepared.
In the first match, Huaxing's most stable player, Feng Yiliu, actually lost. The opponent sent out was their ace player, World of Brushes. In reality, there weren't any problems with Feng Yiliu's performance in this match. The biggest problem was … … class suppression.
That's right, the opponent was a Thief, while Huaxing was a full attack Warrior. Warriors on both sides were at a huge disadvantage, because they had to eat the Thief's combo. If it was a defensive Warrior, it wouldn't be much of a problem. However, a Warrior like Feng Yiliu was very fragile, and didn't know how to recover health. Therefore, not long after, he was beaten to the brink of death. Afterwards, the opponent was also completely prepared. Against Feng Yiliu, who triggered the combo, he chose to go into Stealth. His strategy was very well targeted, and it gave Huaxing, who was participating in a team competition for the first time, a head-on blow.
Before he could recover, in the second match, Jiang Xueyi went up and lost again. Yes, the opponent was completely prepared. In reality, the opponent was only a very low ranked S rank player. His strength wasn't too far off from Jiang Xueyi's, but he was still targeted. The opponent was prepared for all of Jiang Xueyi's skills. It could be said that if it was another opponent, the opponent would definitely lose. However, the opponent was still targeting Jiang Xueyi.
At this point, the situation had already been discovered. The opponent had clearly guessed the lineup here, and had made very specific tactical preparations. At this time, Li Jianyi finally understood the situation. After asking around, he found out that the opponent had indeed hired a professional team leader. It wasn't just them. A powerhouse like the ZTE Group not only hired a professional team leader, but also a tactical team. Only he had come without any preparation. He was basically delivering himself to the opponent.
When he went to find Li Huailin, the score was already 2-0. On the stage, Talent General was fighting against another player. Even though the opponent seemed to be prepared, there was still a slight difference in strength. Talent General had a slight advantage, but Li Jianyi was already panicking. Let's not talk about this match. Would Sharpshooter be targeted again in the next match? After all, there were ways to target a Hunter. Even if they won both matches, who would be sent out for the ACE match? Feng Yiliu, who was originally the most stable player, had already lost a match, and Sharpshooter and the others were not very stable either. This … …
To be honest, Li Jianyi was a little confused. He also understood that the current situation was caused by him. When he was still contacting for advertisements and performances, the other companies were working hard to prepare for battle. It was all his fault. This guilt made Li Jianyi even more confused. Of course, as a team leader, when he was confused, the people below him were even more confused. Li Jianyi did not have any experience as a team leader. Looking at the chaotic situation in Huaxing, he did not know what to do. The only way he could think of was to find Li Huailin.
"I see." After hearing about the whole situation, Li Huailin also nodded. This was indeed Li Jianyi's responsibility. However, he had also slightly underestimated this team system. He did not expect the change to be so big. It seemed that he had underestimated it.
In the original individual competition, tactics that were specifically targeted at a certain person or a certain class were basically useless. This was because in the round-robin stage, everyone would have to face each other at least once. Even if you beat that person, what were you going to do about the others? Therefore, in the previous individual competitions, everyone basically could not make targeted preparations.
However, in the current team system, this was very useful. Once a strategy was made to target someone, and then coincidentally met the opponent during the formation, it would be a huge advantage. Even if there was a difference in strength, this advantage could be easily made up for. Feng Yiliu was a very good proof of this point. Just like Li Jianyi, the times had changed. However, Li Huailin also did not have the time to react.
"Is it too late for us to invite a team leader now?" Li Huailin asked after thinking for a while.
"I've asked around. It should be in time." Li Jianyi immediately said, "Because the team leader and the coaching team are not considered as players, but as employees of the company. Therefore, there will not be a situation where we can sign up or not. When I go back today, I will immediately start contacting well-known team leaders. With our current financial resources, it should not be a problem to poach one over. However, the problem is now …"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Li Huailin heard that Li Jianyi seemed to have something to say, so he immediately asked.
"Huailin, you also know how famous you are now. In fact, I was under a lot of pressure because you did not come over today. Basically 80% of the audience that came to watch your match today. Just now, whether it was the committee or the television station, they all pressured me. I also tried my best to push them back. I only said that today's opponent was not strong, and I was just training my troops … But look at the situation now … "
At this point, Li Huailin naturally understood. Originally, Li Jianyi had arrogantly said that he was training his troops to train his troops, and he had brushed off the matter of him being absent from work. However, at that time, Huaxing had already been beaten 2-0. Wasn't this the same as slapping his own face? The audience was probably making a fuss right now. They were clearly about to lose, so why didn't they send out Li Huailin? Although he was not present, Li Huailin could also imagine what Li Jianyi's current situation was. The pressure was too great.
"I'm sorry, Director Li. I've caused trouble for you again." Li Huailin also sincerely apologized. It was not the first or second time that he had caused trouble for Li Jianyi. Li Huailin also felt a little bad letting him take the blame for him all the time.
"So … You agree to come over?" Li Jianyi said immediately, a little happy.
"Yes, yes, yes … No problem. I'll rush over right now." Li Huailin nodded and said, "Speaking of which, I just turned on my cheat today. In the end, I didn't even get to enjoy myself when I was suddenly interrupted by someone. I'm in a bad mood now, and it just so happens that I'm not afraid of death. Isn't this a revelation from the heavens?"
"Revelation?" Li Jianyi was immediately stunned.
"Yeah, it feels like there's a voice in the heavens saying to me faintly, 'Brother Awesome, it's time for you to show off.' Don't you think so? "Li Huailin said with a smile.
