After the individual competition, Happy had unexpectedly won three points. This result was a bit surprising. But thinking about it, Happy had three All Stars in the individual competition, so winning all three of them didn't seem too excessive. But then again, Tyranny's players in the individual competition weren't weaklings either. Lin Jingyan and Zhang Jiale were also All Star level players.
In the end, Lin Jingyan had flashed in a circle, while Zhang Jiale had been completely crushed. On the other hand, the rookie Song Qiying had a steady performance against the master of playing dirty, Fang Rui. It wouldn't have been surprising if he had won that match.
Not getting a single point was a bit depressing for Tyranny's fans. Everyone could see how the media would talk about Tyranny after the match, especially Lin Jingyan and Zhang Jiale. They would probably be grabbed by some irresponsible people and wantonly talked about whether they were old or not. These people would definitely ignore that Ye Xiu, who had defeated Zhang Jiale, was also a veteran.
After a short break from the individual competition, the group arena was about to begin. Because of Tang Rou's vow, the group arena received a bit more attention. From the comments, even though Tang Rou's vow had attracted a lot of attention, it had damaged her image quite a bit. People still thought that a 1v3 in five rounds was too arrogant, too arrogant, and that a vow on one's career was even more irresponsible. Glory wasn't an individual sport. Tang Rou had a team by her side. Everyone could see that as a rookie, she had quite a bit of weight on the team. As a result, even Happy's fans couldn't stand her vow.
But no matter what, the outcome was already set. On the stage, Tang Rou was sent out as the first participant, followed by Mo Fan and Baozi.
It was a completely new team. As for Team Tyranny, the first to fight was the helper of the Four Heavenly Kings, Qin Muyun, the Sharpshooter character Negative Nine Degrees. The second to fight was Bai Yanfei, the Elementalist Rota. The last to fight was the only captain of Team Tyranny in ten seasons, Han Wenqing.
Tang Rou wanted to take on three opponents by herself, which meant that she needed to defeat all three of them in succession.
Many people didn't know what kind of mentality they should have when watching this match.
If he really fought one against three, he would be able to fulfill Tang Rou's arrogance. Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable.
Happy that he couldn't fight a 1v3 and had to withdraw in a sorry state. Everyone was happy to see this, but they were happy that they had lost a strong fighter. What should they do?
This kind of dilemma made everyone even more annoyed with Tang Rou's actions.
The match was about to start. Although Tyranny's failure to score a single point in the individual round made the fans very disappointed, everyone still actively cheered for the players in the group arena. As for Happy's side? The situation was in their favor, but when they saw that Tang Rou was going to fight, the atmosphere in the stadium became very cold, and the cheers and encouragement were sparse.
Chen Guo was very worried. She realized that after this incident, Tang Rou's image would be greatly damaged, regardless of whether she could win the 1v3 or not. Compared to the 1v2 in the second round, the current Tang Rou had caused the entire stadium to turn cold as soon as she went on stage.
"Sigh, why did it have to be like this …" Chen Guo sighed. If she could go back to that day, she would have stopped Tang Rou from attending that press conference at all costs.
The countdown started. Five seconds later, the match began.
Tang Rou, despite all the controversy, didn't change her style at all. As soon as the match began, her character charged out resolutely.
Should they give her some applause? The audience hesitated. They hesitated from beginning to end. Tyranny's fans, on the other hand, became louder and louder as the match progressed. Finally, they regained control of Happy's home field.
This time, Tyranny's fans did not disappoint them. Tang Rou, who had set her goal as a 1v3, fell in the first round of the group arena.
Tyranny's fans were happy. Of course, they didn't hold back and booed her. Many of the neutral audience members, as well as some of Happy's fans, also started booing Tyranny.
Amidst the booing, Tang Rou left the stage and returned to her seat, silent.
"This Qin Muyun needs to be studied carefully," Ye Xiu said.
"Oh?" Tang Rou looked over.
"Keep up the good work!" Ye Xiu said.
Tang Rou nodded.
Soon after, Mo Fan, who had been released from his suspension, brought his Deception to the group arena again.
Happy's fans immediately cheered him on. The treatment they received was completely different from when Tang Rou went onstage. Tang Rou was originally Happy's most popular player aside from the Gods …
Chen Guo felt very uncomfortable. She sneaked a glance at Tang Rou, but saw that Tang Rou had raised her head, staring unblinkingly at the replay of her and Qin Muyun's match that had just ended. Only when the screen changed to the next match did Tang Rou's gaze return to the stage.
Qin Muyun, who had defeated Tang Rou, didn't have much health left. His Negative Nine Degrees only had 11% health left and was about to reach red health.
Against such a low health opponent, Mo Fan didn't charge straight at him. He continued to move around strategically. Qin Muyun had started the match by moving around strategically. He would continue to do so in this match. As a result, no one directly appeared in the center of the map. Both of them were hidden, quietly observing.
On the screen, the two players' perspectives were displayed, letting the audience know where the two players were looking.
Mo Fan's perspective had already locked onto Qin Muyun's Negative Nine Degrees. Then, he began to take action.
Circle around the back …
Many of the audience members were getting impatient. It was just an opponent with 11% health. Did he need to circle around and ambush him? Just charge out, lure him out, chase after him, and kill him, wouldn't that be enough?
The opinions of the audience clearly couldn't reach Mo Fan's mind. Even if they did, whether or not he would accept them was a problem.
Mo Fan was quite skilled at circling around the enemy's back. He soon circled around to where -Nine Degrees Celsius was previously. Yes, it was before. While he was circling around, Negative Nine Degrees had already moved, but Mo Fan didn't know.
It hadn't been easy for Deception to reach a position where he could attack, but Mo Fan still hadn't found his target.
He had circled around because he had guessed that his opponent would be there. In reality, he wasn't sure if his opponent would be there. If he couldn't find his opponent, Mo Fan wasn't sure if his guess had been wrong, or if his opponent had coincidentally moved away.
Just as he was thinking about his next move, an attack came from behind Deception.
Qin Muyun had moved, but he hadn't gone too far. His new position was important because he could be aware of his previous position.
This plan hadn't been wasted. Just when Mo Fan thought he had made a wasted trip, he didn't know that he had already fallen into Qin Muyun's trap.
Through the scope, Deception's head was magnified!
Snipe! Headshot! Double damage. The powerful impact knocked Deception to the side. Negative Nine Degrees rushed out and launched a fierce attack without hesitation. Deception was suddenly caught in a hail of bullets. Sharpshooters didn't have as much firepower as Launchers, and they didn't have as many abilities as Spitfires. In reality, many of their skills were buffs for normal attacks.
Rapid Fire, Double Fire, Scatter, and so on. The number of bullets fired in an instant was definitely the number one among Gunner classes.
Deception was in a difficult situation, and this time, Mo Fan didn't insist on running away from the attacks and then looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Mo Fan directly had Deception try to counterattack.
But if he wanted to counterattack, breaking through Negative Nine Degrees' blockade was the first step.
Smoke Clone Technique? Smoke Bomb? Substitution Technique?
Mo Fan had already used all the spells he could think of to escape, yet he was still unable to break free from it. Negative Nine Degrees' attacks would always be able to catch up to him as soon as he moved to another position.
"He's being suppressed to this extent?" Fang Rui was astonished. Tyranny's old generals didn't do much today, but these rookies were all surprising.
"His positioning is very good," Su Mucheng said. She was a Launcher, an expert at Screen Cannons. She was able to see the reason why Qin Muyun was able to suppress Mo Fan so much.
From Negative Nine Degrees' position, he could see everything Deception could do, including the changes that could be triggered by the Ninja's skills. Everything was included. His position wasn't always the same. Whenever Deception's position changed, he would adjust accordingly to the situation and keep up with it.
"He's an expert at positioning!" Ye Xiu concluded.
Positioning experts were especially suited for long-ranged classes. Long-ranged classes had a longer attack range, which meant that their attacks could cover a wider area. No matter what position a melee class chose, the only area they could attack was the area around them. If a long-ranged class chose a different position, then the area they could attack would be completely different. Very few maps used in matches were like Ye Xiu's, where there was no cover at all. There were all sorts of obstructions and obstacles. If a long-ranged class didn't choose a good position, then their attacks wouldn't be able to reach their maximum potential.
Qin Muyun was an expert at this.
After watching his match with Tang Rou and this match, Ye Xiu was finally certain.
"Positioning … Isn't Mo Fan pretty good too?" Chen Guo said.
"Mo Fan is good at positioning in a static position. He's different from Qin Muyun's dynamic positioning," Ye Xiu said.
"Then this match …"
"If you can see the opponent's positioning and the area they're controlling, then you'll be able to make the correct decision. Positioning can't be perfect. There will always be a few blind spots that can't be taken care of. After determining the opponent's position and angle, it'll depend on your reaction time. However, Qin Muyun's positioning is very quick. It might not be possible to escape step by step. You need to be in position in one go. Furthermore, you'll have to be careful to not let him quickly steal your position and suppress you again, "Ye Xiu said.
"From what you're saying, this guy is practically undefeatable …" Chen Guo said.
"If you let Mo Fan compete with him in positioning, then he'll basically be undefeatable," Ye Xiu said.
"Then what should we do?" Chen Guo said.
"We need to think of a way to restrict and interfere with his positioning," Ye Xiu said.
