Team Wind Howl, in the winter transfer window, didn't complete the transfer that they thought would solve the team's problems, and thus began the second half of the season.
In the first half of the season, even though they were unable to win against strong teams, Team Wind Howl was still very strong in front of mid-tier and lower tier teams. This gave people a sliver of confidence in them.
But now, Team Miracle.
Even if this team had unexpected performances, this only meant that they had a certain level of skill. 102 points halfway through the season, 12th place, this kind of result couldn't be described as strong. This was the typical result of a mid-tier team.
But now, in front of a mid-tier team, Wind Howl had lost.
This was tantamount to tearing off their last piece of cloth. Whether or not Wind Howl would be able to produce any results, the question mark was getting bigger and bigger. In the post-match press conference, Wind Howl's captain, Tang Hao, was even more furious, severely reprimanding the team for not working hard enough.
But was Wind Howl's problem really something that hard work couldn't solve?
Things probably weren't that simple! Glory wasn't something that could be solved with hard work alone. Apart from hard work, you also had to have the right method. And right now, what Wind Howl lacked wasn't hard work, wasn't the desire to win, but the method to win. Especially in the team competition.
The original Wind Howl's key to victory was playing dirty. Now that they had thrown away this key, they couldn't find a new key that could unlock the door. A bunch of locksmiths were busy messing around, but no matter what, they couldn't open that door to victory.
"Good luck, good luck, we can't lose!" Just these morale-boosting words couldn't solve the problem at its root.
What should Wind Howl do?
In the Esports Home before the next week's match, Wind Howl was on the front page with this headline. After discussing how weak An Wenyi was and how strong Bai Shu was, these two questions of individual strength. Wind Howl's team strength began to become a new topic of concern.
Wind Howl themselves were also continuously receiving protests from their fans. Wind Howl desperately needed a convincing victory. And so, their chance came. In Round 25, Wind Howl faced Samsara in their home game.
This convincing … wasn't it a bit too much?
Some of Wind Howl's players had the urge to eat their account cards.
"This is the best opportunity." Their captain, Tang Hao, appeared in front of them fearlessly.
"What could be more convincing than defeating Team Samsara?" Tang Hao said.
"Everyone, get your spirits up. Let's use this battle to show everyone what our Team Wind Howl is really like." In the prep room before the match, Tang Hao's teammates were rallying.
But Wind Howl's players were already numb to these words.
Up on stage, individual competition, three rounds, loss, loss, loss.
Boos rang out from all four corners of the stadium. This was only the individual competition, and it was already so bad?
Tang Hao's face was ashen. What else could he do? He didn't know …
Very quickly, the group arena ended. The crowd was no longer just filled with boos. Some of the spectators had already begun to leave the arena. They were not even willing to watch the highlight of the competition, the team competition. By leaving the arena, they were giving the strongest protest to the teams.
After the individual competition, Wind Howl was down 0 to 5.
After that match with Happy, were they going to be swept 10 to 0 again? That time, at least Happy had been the home team. But this time, they were being swept by their opponents. They had lost all face.
When the team competition began again, the cheers from the stadium were louder than Wind Howl's. What made Team Wind Howl lose even more face was that these cheers for Samsara actually came from Wind Howl's own fans. What kind of disappointment and anger was this? The team competition finally began …
At the same time, on another stage …
"Again …" The entire stadium was dumbstruck. They watched as Radiant's healer was killed by 301's Assassin, Scene Killer, 2 minutes and 34 seconds after the start of the team competition.
Life-Risking Strike!
And this time, what was even more frightening was that Scene Killer didn't immediately die after using Life-Risking Strike. He was actually protected by Bai Shu's Knight, Tide. And then, 301's healer, Paladin 007, cast a bunch of healing skills, instantly bringing Scene Killer back to life …
An Assassin who had used Life-Risking Strike to land a critical hit actually didn't die?
Everyone was dumbstruck. This was the first time in the history of the Glory Alliance that something like this had happened.
Just how far did Squad 301 intend to go with this assassination tactic?
Radiant, whose strength wasn't as good as 301's to begin with, lost their healer. The team competition was like a landslide. Victory and defeat were quickly decided. Team 301 won an overwhelming victory this round, obtaining a perfect score of 10 to 0.
Not long after, the match between Wind Howl and Samsara was decided. Samsara "lived up to expectations" and defeated Wind Howl in the Samsara competition, sweeping them 10-0.
Originally, Team 301 and Team Wind Howl had only been separated by 8 points, but now, they had switched places. Whether or not Wind Howl could remain in the top eight would depend on the outcome of the other team.
Team Hundred Blossoms, in their home game against Lightly.
This situation made Wind Howl's players despair.
In the end, Team Hundred Blossoms won 8 to 2 against Lightly, moving up to seventh place. 301 moved up one place, squeezing into eighth place and finally entering the season playoffs. And all of this could be considered frightening. At the end of the first half of the season in Round 19, Team 301 only had 98 points. But now, after six rounds, Team 301 already had 150 points. They had won 52 points in six rounds, averaging 8.7 points per game. They were far ahead of the leading team, Team Samsara, who was averaging 8.3 points per game.
In Round 19, 301 had won the team competition because of Yang Cong's Life-Risking Strike against Happy's Little Cold Hands. But in terms of strength, it was from Round 20 onwards. The arrival of Bai Shu allowed 301 to truly possess a strategy that had never been seen before in the Alliance, one that revolved around the Assassin's Life-Risking Strike. And the speed at which Bai Shu integrated into the team made it easy to see that he was an extremely intelligent player in Glory. And the strategy he brought with him clearly hadn't fully released its light yet. 301 was still fumbling around, still trying to break in. But even so, they were already able to achieve a frightening scoring rate. If this strategy was truly perfected, how frightening would its lethality be?
Only now did people realize that Bai Shu's arrival not only brought with him an unknown expert, but also an unknown strategy. In the end, it would create an unknown team.
"What a headache!" Everyone grumbled. But right now, some people didn't even have the energy to complain about this.
"What a headache. How long are we going to play for?" Ye Xiu said.
"You guys lost a long time ago. If it weren't for you being so dirty and playing hide and seek, this match would have been over long ago! What's the point? Come out and I'll fight you one on one! Let's fight fair and square. Do you dare? Do you dare? "The opposing team's Huang Shaotian angrily rebuked.
Just as the matches were about to end. Blue Rain's home game against Happy had already been going on for 40 minutes. Currently, Team Blue Rain had lost one player. Five players were still on the field, and Happy only had two players left. But in this situation, Happy's two players didn't GG, nor did they come out to die. Instead, they patiently played around with Blue Rain.
"What bastards!" Seeing this scene, quite a few of the guild leaders felt sad.
Once upon a time, in the Heavenly Domain, they had sent out a large group of players, only to be toyed with by these two! Seeing that Team Blue Rain had been stalled by these two for so long, everyone suddenly felt gratified.
Lord Grim, Deception.
Happy was still alive on the field. These were the two players. Without a doubt, against Blue Rain's complete lineup, Happy had no chance of winning. But these two weren't willing to give up, hiding here and there. This match, which should have ended in 31 minutes, had been extended to 42 minutes.
"The match isn't over until the last moment," Ye Xiu sternly lectured Huang Shaotian. "One on one? Is that how a team competition should be played? "
"You... what kind of method are you hiding here and there?" Huang Shaotian used his skillful mechanics to turn a profanity into an ellipsis.
"This is practice, you understand? In the playoffs, this was based on the number of people. Happy has already started to get used to the rhythm of the playoffs. Are you convinced now? "Ye Xiu said.
"Convinced …" His skillful mechanics showed once again, "You two, do you still want to take any points?"
"That might not be the case! If you have the ability, come out and fight the two of us! "Ye Xiu yelled.
"Sure! I'll fight the two of you! "Huang Shaotian said.
"Everyone else, move back a hundred units," Ye Xiu said.
"Move back, move back," Huang Shaotian said.
"How can they move back so quickly?" Ye Xiu questioned.
"They're moving back," Huang Shaotian said.
"Okay, let me take a look," Ye Xiu said.
Team Blue Rain immediately went on high alert. The five of them looked around 360 degrees. If there was even the slightest movement, it wouldn't be able to escape their shadows.
"When did they move back? Liar! "Ye Xiu was furious.
"You didn't look, you liar!" Huang Shao was also furious. They didn't notice anyone peeking in. This guy wasn't even in this area.
"I guessed!" Ye Xiu said.
"Despicable!" Huang Shaotian yelled.
"Don't waste time. Hurry up and find us. Aren't you guys tired of playing for so long?" Ye Xiu yelled.
Everyone was in tears. This situation was clearly caused by the two of you!
"It's about time. They should be in this area." Yu Wenzhou had already made a judgment in Team Blue Rain's channel.
"We'll split up. Shaotian and I will take the left path. Song Xiao and Zheng Xuan will take the right path and go around that big rock." Yu Wenzhou continued to arrange.
"Huh? What about me? "Guardian Angel player Xu Jingxi was surprised. His name wasn't in the split up plan.
"Yeah, the left and right paths are ambushes. You'll just walk up like this and be the bait," Yu Wenzhou said.
"Too cruel." Xu Jingxi's face was full of tears.
