Wang Ze wasn't considered a player with much experience in Excellent Era. When Ye Xiu was still around, he was still a rookie. In season eight, he had a few opportunities to play in shifts, but then he was kicked out of the team along with Excellent Era.
Team Excellent Era's players were quite popular. But at that time, Excellent Era hadn't given up on themselves yet. With the addition of Xiao Shiqin from Thunderclap, it stabilized the team's morale. The majority of Team Excellent Era's players chose to stay behind.
Wang Ze was one of them. But compared to some of his teammates who had chosen to stay after being invited by other teams, he didn't have a choice because no one was interested in him.
This made Wang Ze feel like he had lost face. Even though he didn't think he was that good, he was still confident in his ability. How could no team be interested in him under those circumstances?
Wang Ze was quite concerned about this. At that time, he had already been in the pro scene for two years. His appearances were limited, and he hadn't attracted enough attention or evaluation, so he had been looking forward to being recognized.
But in the end, he spent his third season in the Challenger League. What was even more depressing was that Excellent Era had been eliminated by Team Happy from the Internet Cafe.
That moment was gloomy for any member of Team Excellent Era. After that, Excellent Era disbanded and his teammates went their separate ways. Wang Ze had been quite terrified at that time. Because when they had been kicked out of the previous season, he hadn't received any invitations. And this season, they were in the Challenger League, so the attention they received was even more limited. He was really afraid that no one would be interested in him.
Wang Ze had been waiting for invitations, but none had come. He watched as his teammates left one by one. Then, just as Excellent Era was about to fall, a successor appeared.
The players who hadn't left at that time all received invitations from the new boss to stay on the team. He called on everyone to fight for another year and send Excellent Era back to the pro scene.
Wang Ze clearly remembered that during the Challenger League season, Qiu Fei, who had just come out of the training camp, had decided to stay on.
Idiot …
Wang Ze thought so in his heart. During that Challenger League season, if Excellent Era had a player who had made everyone's eyes shine, it would have been the newly joined Qiu Fei. A young man with a bright future would not have to worry about where to go in that situation. However, Qiu Fei believed in the new investor's blueprint and chose to stay behind.
But what else did the current Excellent Era have?
Su Mucheng took Dancing Rain, Sun Xiang and One Leaf Of Autumn left, and Xiao Shiqin and Life Extinguisher returned to their original team.
The remaining Excellent Era was no longer a powerhouse. How could it be so easy to pass the Challenger League?
Wang Ze, who had already wasted a year, didn't want to sink into the Challenge Competition again. It was a pity that he hadn't received any invitations from other teams. At the very least, this could be considered a way out, a way out for him to continue being a professional player.
Wang Ze was unwilling, but he didn't dare push away this final straw. Fortunately, at this moment, Team Miracle appeared. They were actually interested in him. Wang Ze didn't hesitate to choose this new team. In his opinion, as long as he could stay in the Pro Alliance, it was better than anything else.
Just like that, Wang Ze chose Team Miracle. Then, Shen Jian, who had been tossing and turning around, also came, cursing. Shen Jian's situation was better than his. He had received an invitation from a team at the start, but after a round of negotiations, he didn't manage to reach an agreement. In the end, only Miracle was left. With a helpless feeling of casting pearls before swine, he and Wang Ze were packed together and sent to Miracle. And there, He Ming, who had been sent away when Excellent Era was relegated, was already waiting for them as the core of the team after a year of struggling in the Pro Alliance.
The three former teammates reunited at Miracle. They didn't have time to celebrate. Instead, they spontaneously felt like they had been cheated.
But the hole had already fallen. If they wanted to climb out, they would have to rely on themselves. Harboring different thoughts and expectations, the three of them began their miraculous journey in Team Miracle. Wang Ze, personally, hoped that this season, people would see his skill and recognize his ability. Even if Miracle was relegated this season, he wouldn't have the awkward situation of no one paying attention to him.
His opponent this match, Su Mucheng, was an All Star. If he could defeat her, it would be a proof of his strength. And against this former teammate, Wang Ze believed that he had grasped the key to victory.
After the countdown of five, the match began.
Map: Desolate Town 7.
Desolate Town was a series of maps. If all the maps numbered 17 were pieced together, everyone would find that this was a complete town. But in a real match, especially a 1v1 match, this complete map was too big, so it was split into 17 maps. The 17 maps were of different sizes. Desolate Town 7 was the smallest, suitable for 1v1 matches.
As former teammates, the three of them could more or less guess which maps Su Mucheng was good at. Wang Ze's main target today was Su Mucheng, and the choice of this picture was very targeted. Desolate Town 7 was Su Mucheng's area of expertise. As former teammates, they naturally understood the playstyles that Su Mucheng liked to use in this map. This was the reason why Wang Ze had chosen this map. He didn't want the opponent to be unfamiliar with him. Instead, he wanted the opponent to be familiar with him, so that he could better understand his opponent's playstyle.
The characters spawned at the two corners of the map each advanced forward. Wang Ze's Sharpshooter was called Kashiben. He had been provided by Miracle after joining the team. Compared to his rotation in Excellent Era, his character was a bit worse. He had worked very hard to find a combination that he was used to.
Kashiben was walking forward quickly, but his vision had already landed on the clock tower in the town in the distance.
The clock tower was the highest point in this map. If you stood there, you could get a bird's eye view of the map. Desolate Town 7 was a part of the town with many small streets and alleys. The terrain was quite winding. This kind of terrain wasn't very good for long-range Gunners. Su Mucheng was good at this map because she had been forced to. Because too many opponents wanted to use this map to restrict the Alliance's number one Gunner, Su Mucheng had to practice in order to deal with them. In the end, it became one of her best maps.
Su Mucheng would often occupy the clock tower. From there, she could easily grasp the opponent's position. Then, she would use her long range to attack. This was one of her favorite playstyles.
But … today, she wouldn't!
This was what Wang Ze thought. Because their identities as teammates were mutual. Su Mucheng wouldn't be so stupid as to not think about why he had chosen this map. Thinking about it, she should have deliberately avoided using her favorite and most commonly used method, because these were all things that her former teammates would catch on to.
Then, if she gave up on her usual playstyle, what would Su Mucheng do?
Based on her habits and preferences, Wang Ze made a bold conjecture. He was going to test it now. He believed that his conjecture wouldn't be wrong. As a Gunner, Wang Ze believed that his understanding of Su Mucheng's playstyle was quite thorough.
Kashiben quickly shuttled through the alleys. He could see that Wang Ze's strategy was clear and resolute. But from time to time, he would still glance in the direction of the clock tower. After all, Su Mucheng wouldn't be able to use her usual playstyle. But if that was the case, Wang Ze would only be happier. The route he had chosen was the clock tower's blind spot. If Su Mucheng believed in that vantage point, he would give her an unforgettable surprise.
His plan was flawless! Wang Ze thought with satisfaction.
But at this moment, Dancing Rain appeared.
Using Aerial Fire, he landed on the clock tower after a few leaps. He had thought that Dancing Rain wouldn't climb the clock tower, but fortunately, Wang Ze discovered it in time and immediately had his character roll, hiding in a blind spot at the top of the clock tower.
She actually appeared.
Wang Ze calculated the time. Dancing Rain had spawned at this point in time. It seemed like she had chosen to go straight to the clock tower without wasting any time.
She had no misgivings. Wasn't she afraid that he would take advantage of this?
Even though Wang Ze was confident, he didn't treat Su Mucheng as an idiot at all. As a result, when he saw Su Mucheng suddenly make such a seemingly thoughtless move, Wang Ze had to stop and think.
If Su Mucheng understood his intentions, but she still did it, then what was her intention?
There were two possibilities.
First, she didn't take Wang Ze's strength seriously, so everything went on as usual.
Second, she guessed Wang Ze's response and purposely lured the snake out of its hole. She had already made preparations.
Su Mucheng wasn't an idiot, and she wasn't someone who relied on her strength. So, it should be the second possibility.
She had already made preparations to lure the snake out of its hole.
Wang Ze smiled. This was the Su Mucheng he knew.
But this time, she wouldn't be able to lure him out.
In this map, Su Mucheng might have already studied the blind spots on the clock tower. But among these blind spots, which ones could directly attack the clock tower, was she familiar with?
Wang Ze believed that Su Mucheng hadn't.
Because only long-ranged classes could attack like this. Long-ranged classes rarely chose maps like this. Su Mucheng had never encountered a long-ranged opponent on this map. This wasn't Wang Ze's guess. It was a statistical analysis of all of Su Mucheng's individual matches on this map.
Detailed statistics, understanding, and preparation. This was Wang Ze's trump card. It wasn't very cool, but it was the most practical.
Dancing Rain was still looking around from the clock tower. Perhaps she was guessing where Wang Ze would attack from.
There's no need!
Wang Ze smiled. He pushed his mouse, and Kashiben had already set up his Thunder Snipe.
Sharpshooters couldn't compare to Launchers in range. Only the Thunder Snipe was an exception. But right now, Wang Ze didn't want to attack from too far away, because too far away would give Su Mucheng time to dodge.
The snipe point he chose, in terms of distance, was perfect.
Within this range, if he didn't stop it in advance and waited for the trigger to be pulled, it would be completely impossible to dodge the Barrett Sniper Rifle. Not to mention, Su Mucheng couldn't see it at all. She could only hear it, so it was even more impossible.
Through the magnified scope, Dancing Rain's forehead and the goggles that acted as a hairpin were very clear.
Gunshot!
Bright red blood sprayed out from her forehead, turning the entire scope red.
"Tsk tsk, this kind of attack should've insta-killed her." Wang Ze sighed. The skill ended and he put away his sniper rifle.
"Hm? What's that?" In the sky, Wang Ze saw a dot of fire flying towards him.
