"It's not just one firing line …"
As the saying goes, the onlooker sees more clearly. The Samsara players saw this and realized where the problem lay. It wasn't that Wu Qi had broken through, but rather that he had been lured into Su Mucheng's trap.
But … Su Mucheng wasn't a new player! The Golden Generation, who had joined the Alliance in Season 4, had become famous early and had been studied by other teams early on. The theory of firing lines wasn't a new one. When Launchers were first studied, finding their firing line was the most important thing. Su Mucheng's firing line wasn't a secret, and it couldn't be kept a secret.
Because this was a competition, everyone would go all out on the field. The firing line of a Launcher was the limit of every Launcher's DPS. Even going all out in a competition was not enough. Who would hold back a trick or two? Unless they were bullying someone whose skill level was far below theirs, then there was no need to go all out. Perhaps the difference in skill levels between those who had entered the Alliance wasn't so great that they would be bullied.
Samsara's players looked at each other in dismay. Happy wasn't an opponent that they would underestimate. Su Mucheng wasn't an opponent that could be easily dealt with. Even though they had won the first round 10 to 0, they were even more serious about preparing for this round. However, they hadn't realized that Su Mucheng had more than one firing line. In the previous matches, she hadn't shown it at all.
"She's gotten stronger," Zhou Zekai suddenly said.
The others frowned and continued to watch the match. Under Dancing Rain's bombardment, Wu Qi's Cruel Silence's charge wasn't going well. On the other hand, Dancing Rain casually retreated as she fired, and the distance between the two widened, until …
"Firing line!" Jiang Botao shouted. This distance was what they knew of Su Mucheng's firing line. Cruel Silence was suppressed by the attacks. Su Mucheng had Dancing Rain retreat, and Cruel Silence, who had broken through Su Mucheng's firing line, was pushed back into it.
Cannon fire poured down like a torrential downpour. The offensive was clearly stronger than before. This was Su Mucheng's true firing line, the firing line that Wu Qi had already broken through. But because he hadn't expected another firing line to be hidden behind Su Mucheng's firing line, his charge was blocked and he was pushed back.
The firing line that no one knew about had already made it difficult for Wu Qi to advance, and the firing line that he was trapped in now was the one that everyone was familiar with. It was Su Mucheng's most powerful firing line.
Under the bombardment, Cruel Silence's health plummeted. How could these experienced pro players didn't know what it was like to be trapped in a firing line? Launchers wouldn't just stand there and shoot. They would also adjust their positions according to the opponent's reaction to keep the target in the line of fire. It was easy to enter the firing line, but difficult to leave.
Samsara's players all looked at Sun Xiang. He had been Su Mucheng's teammate for a year and a half.
"Did you know that she was at this level?" Lu Boyuan nudged Sun Xiang and asked.
Sun Xiang shook his head, his face blank. In reality, ever since he had joined Excellent Era, the Gun and Cannon team from Excellent Era in Season 4 had been disbanded. Even though One Leaf Of Autumn and Dancing Rain were still in the team, they were divided at heart. They had lost their former glory as the Best Duo. Sun Xiang was very depressed. Su Mucheng's professionalism was impeccable, but they just didn't click. Partnering up was also a matter of fate. It wasn't uncommon for two people to end up in a mess after being forced together in the Alliance.
However, as her teammate, Sun Xiang didn't know that Su Mucheng's firing line had so many tricks up its sleeve.
"Looking at her ability, I feel that her firing line can be controlled over a larger area. What do you think, Little Zhou? "Jiang Botao said.
"Yeah." Zhou Zekai nodded his head.
"But she purposely controlled her skills, making the firing line smaller but more focused. Then, she used the skills that came out of nowhere to create a second firing line..." Jiang Botao analyzed.
The surrounding Samsara generals all nodded their heads. They weren't like Happy, who had rookies. Samsara's roster was the most stable in the past few years. This group of players had grown together, accumulated experience together, and had a deep understanding of each other. It was easy to communicate with each other. Samsara had won two championships in a row. This group of players had matured to a point where they had blossomed. The champions never lacked luck, but they also needed the corresponding skill to grasp that luck.
At this moment, the members of this championship team were able to analyze Su Mucheng's current playstyle with just a few words.
"She really is a bit crafty," Jiang Botao continued.
"Yeah... if she needed to, I'm sure she could have expanded her firing line instead of splitting it into two firing lines," Lu Boyuan said.
"But she hasn't done that all this time. She left some leeway, making it seem more flexible. Her sense of propriety is really good, "Jiang Botao sighed.
"Wu Qi is in trouble!" Blade Master Du Ming said.
Everyone was silent. Unfortunately, the player they had been praising was actually their opponent. The better the opponent performed, the more troublesome it would be for them. However, the confidence of this championship team was extraordinary. Towards the possibility of a loss, they seemed to be quite calm. They didn't panic at all after falling behind.
In the end, Su Mucheng won this match. The cheers in Xiaoshan Stadium didn't stop for a long time.
This was Samsara! That incomparably powerful Samsara. But now, Team Happy was leading 2-0!
Wu Qi returned to Samsara's player area. After losing the match, of course he couldn't be happy.
"She really is too crafty!" Wu Qi took the towel from his teammate. After wiping his hands, he gloomily threw the towel on his seat. It was obvious that he had figured out what was going on with Su Mucheng's Launcher.
"Be careful next time, be careful next time," his teammates comforted him.
"Watch me. I'll get revenge for you!" Lu Boyuan said.
"It's not the group arena. Revenge my ass." Wu Qi glared at him.
"In the team competition, you'll personally get your revenge," Jiang Botao said to him.
"I'll be starting in the team competition?" Wu Qi's eyes shone.
"Cough cough!" Jiang Botao coughed, "Next time, next time."
Wu Qi returned to his gloomy state. In reality, the lineup would be announced at the very latest in the prep room before the match. It was very rare for the lineup to be announced at the stadium. Wu Qi had known that he would still be the sixth player in this team competition. He just wanted to show his desire to be in the starting lineup. His teammates all laughed when they saw him like this. It really wasn't easy to be in the starting lineup in Samsara's current team competition. However, to be able to talk about such a sensitive topic like Samsara, it was quite an impressive atmosphere.
"I'm going onstage." Lu Boyuan called out to his teammates and went onstage. Happy's third player just happened to be from the Fighter class, Baozi.
"Ah, it's that guy. If I lose, you guys can't blame me. That guy is very strange!" Lu Boyuan saw Happy's player and hurriedly turned his head to inform his teammates.
"If you lose, I'll take your starting spot!" Du Ming yelled.
"Leave it to me!"
"Me me me!"
The players on Samsara all came up to join in on the fun. Lu Boyuan smiled and continued to walk towards the arena.
"As expected of a champion team …" Happy's teammates were also paying attention to Samsara's situation.
In the individual competition, they had lost two matches in a row, but the team didn't seem anxious at all. This team didn't have any old generals, but their temperament was quite steady. Perhaps this was the confidence that came from winning two championships in a row. Even though they had lost two matches, they didn't lose their confidence. That kind of psychological advantage that could be established by being the first to take the lead seemed empty against Samsara. On the contrary, their confidence, their calmness, and their unhurried pace made their opponents feel uncertain.
But … Happy's third player was Steamed Bun. He didn't have such a subtle feeling that he wasn't confident in winning. With his head held high and his chest puffed out, Baozi strode onto the stage. The crowd cheered loudly for him.
Happy's lineup was relatively fluid in the entire Alliance. Baozi didn't appear very often, but he was quite popular among Happy's fans. This was because he could always surprise them. With Baozi in the match, no matter the outcome, there would always be something special to watch.
"Samsara's third player is Lu Boyuan. This player is a classic competitive player. His mental fortitude is very strong, and he excels at exploding in the face of adversity and creating match points. Right now, Samsara is down by two points. Sending him up for the third match of the individual competition is a perfect environment for him to perform! "Pan Lin commented on the two players on the stage.
"Happy is sending out Bao Rongxing. Hm, this player … he's a … hm … no matter when or where, he's always on the move. Coach Li, what do you think? "Pan Lin said.
"Ahem!" Li Yibo coughed.
"Ahem ahem!" Li Yibo coughed again and again.
"Bao Rongxing is probably the player who brings the most surprises," Li Yibo concluded. He really didn't dare to make any predictions about such a player who could surprise others.
"Okay, the match is about to begin," Pan Lin announced.
On the stage, the two characters loaded onto the map. Happy, Brawler Baozi, invaded, while Samsara sent out Glory's number one Grappler, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain.
"Okay, the match has officially begun. Both characters are heading straight for the center of the map," Pan Lin shouted.
"Lu Boyuan has made the first move! For Grapplers, they usually gain the initiative after the opponent has made the first move, right Coach Li? "Pan Lin said.
"Yes, because grab skills have the highest priority in Glory, Grapplers have the ability to forcefully break through an opponent's attack. This type of attack that comes in the middle of the opponent's skill is more difficult for the opponent to deal with," Li Yibo said.
"But right now, Lu Boyuan is taking the initiative!"
"After all, Samsara has lost two matches in a row. They need to be a bit more aggressive to raise their morale!" Li Yibo said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Boyuan sent a message: "You're a guy. I can't give you the chance to mess around!"
"Coach Li?" Pan Lin turned his head to look at Li Yibo.
Li Yibo had a bitter expression on his face. What was going on today? Even Team Samsara was slapping the commentator's face?
