The coffee shop was quite remote. After all, it hadn't been too long since the end of the match, so there were quite a few eye-catching places on the streets where players were having fun after watching the match. Ye Xiu and the other two would definitely be surrounded if they went to these places. Fortunately, Misty Rain was the home team, and Chu Yunxiu was familiar with the place, so he brought the two of them to a very quiet place.
They sat down and each ordered a cup of coffee. As expected, they had finished their cigarettes on the way here. Ye Xiu stared blankly at the prominent no-smoking sign in the coffee shop.
"Happy. That's really nice," Chu Yunxiu said.
"Where's Misty Rain?" Ye Xiu didn't hold back and directly cut to the chase. He could see that Chu Yunxiu was in a rather bad mood. The reason he had asked to sit down after the match was most likely because of the team.
"What do you think?" Chu Yunxiu asked Ye Xiu.
Misty Rain's current problem lay in their tactics. Everyone knew that. However, something like a team's tactics should be considered a private matter for competitors. However, tactics weren't like statistics for Silver equipment. They were displayed in the match. So tactics weren't considered a secret weapon. The key was the ability to execute them. 301 Degrees was like a fish in water with the Knight covering the Assassin's Life-Risking Strike, but if you changed teams to imitate it, it probably wouldn't be as effective. Different players, different characters, different tactics. They all had to adapt to the situation.
So tactics weren't something to be avoided. What you knew, everyone knew. It just depended on whether or not they used it. However, it was rare for teams to ask each other for advice. Who would have the time to help their competitors improve?
But now that Chu Yunxiu had said this, Ye Xiu didn't seem to care. He directly said, "The current tactics aren't very suitable. Let's use an example! On the basketball court, there's a big guy who plays with four perimeter players, but there's never been a kid who runs around with four perimeter players. Misty Rain is currently the latter. This kind of formation can occasionally be used as a surprise attack, but I'm afraid it's somewhat unsuitable for a main battle system. "
"Who said it wasn't?" Chu Yunxiu said.
"If you know, then why haven't you adjusted it yet?" Ye Xiu asked.
"How do you think we should adjust it?" Chu Yunxiu asked.
"Sun Liang should be in the starting lineup," Ye Xiu said. Sun Liang was a member of Misty Rain's team, a professional Striker. He had always been one of Misty Rain's main players, but after Misty Rain changed their tactics this season, he suddenly became a rotational player.
"Oh, then who should come down?" Chu Yunxiu asked again.
Ye Xiu was stunned.
For such a simple question, Chu Yunxiu didn't need to ask him step by step. Who should go down? When he said this, Chu Yunxiu's face was filled with helplessness and bitterness. He immediately knew that there was definitely a secret behind this. After thinking about it for a bit, Ye Xiu also immediately realized something.
"When necessary, those sisters can only be split up and arranged." Ye Xiu said.
"The problem is that they can't split up," Chu Yunxiu said.
"Oh …" Ye Xiu understood and suddenly didn't say anything, because he had already guessed the general situation.
The Shu sisters couldn't be split up? How could there be such an absolute thing? The two of them weren't working together to ensure the team's victory. Instead, because the two of them were on the court together, the team couldn't form a reasonable class structure. It wasn't that they couldn't split up on a tactical level, but on other aspects. And the only thing that could make a tactical sacrifice was the club's decision. This was no longer a tactical problem, this was a management problem for Misty Rain Club. Their management strategy required the Shu sisters to both be on the court.
Thinking about how Misty Rain had specifically asked the club to adjust the gender of the characters for the sisters, it could be seen how much importance and expectation they placed on these two. And for the pro players, their value was still reflected on the court. As a result, it wasn't strange that the club directly requested the two of them to be on the court together.
And this was something that annoyed the pro players, but also made them feel powerless.
Management was above strategy, and the amateur had to step in to command the expert.
Chu Yunxiu asking Su Mucheng to sit down didn't seem like he was looking for a solution. He was just feeling depressed and wanted to find a good friend to vent. Now that the situation was more or less clear, the three suddenly fell into silence. For this kind of problem, if Chu Yunxiu couldn't solve it, then what could Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, and the other outsiders do?
Chu Yunxiu, Li Hua … ….
This was the true core of Misty Rain's strategy. The value of their partnership was above that of the Shu sisters. If the two of them were required to make sacrifices in order to find a suitable class combination, then the sacrifice wasn't just an individual sacrifice, but also the battle strength of the team. If that was the case, how much combat strength would Misty Rain be able to display after establishing a reasonable system?
And ….. between the two of them, if they really had to choose a lineup, Chu Yunxiu was more suitable than Li Hua. After all, the Shu sisters were long-range sharpshooters, and their role overlapped with that of an elementalist. Leaving Li Hua's Ninja on the court would enrich the strategy. As a result, the problem was even more unsolvable. Chu Yunxiu, Windy City's Misty Rain, that was the captain of this team, the soul of the team. If you don't let them play as the main force, does Misty Rain want to completely start from scratch?
Ye Xiu combed through the situation of Misty Rain's team in his mind and realized that it really was an unsolvable and terrifying problem. No wonder Chu Yunxiu was so helpless.
"Then what do you plan on doing?" Su Mucheng suddenly asked. She hadn't said anything since coming to the coffee shop, but she had already thought of everything she needed to think of.
"I don't know ….." Chu Yunxiu's eyes were a little empty. This season, she really was a little lost. The upper echelons of the Club wanted the Shu sisters to be part of the main roster. Misty Rain's core team wasn't suitable to suddenly add two sharpshooters.
But no one reasoned with her. The Club wanted all of these players to be on the field. Windy City's Misty Rain, Dark Forest, Lower Your Head, None Dare Attack, all four characters had to be on the field.
Ye Xiu was still hoping that Chu Yunxiu or Li Hua would make the sacrifice, but in reality, that was impossible! Misty Rain was very greedy. Not only did they want to see the sisters, they also wanted to see their core partner. They wanted to use such an unreasonable lineup to achieve results. Misty Rain had been hanging around for half a season, but the upper echelons still weren't willing to make any changes. In their eyes, just a little bit more and Misty Rain's results would improve. As long as the players worked a little harder, as long as they were a little more familiar with their tactics, they would be able to win beautifully.
They took it for granted that they ignored one fact.
While Misty Rain was working hard, the other players were also working hard.
As Misty Rain's tactics continued to become more familiar, the other teams' operations also became smoother and smoother.
And Misty Rain's innate weakness due to their class composition could never be made up for.
It was too difficult to win against Misty Rain like this.
Chu Yunxiu had tried for half a season, racking his brains, but in the end, Misty Rain still ended up in this situation. Apart from helplessness and bitterness, what other emotions could she have?
"If we can't adjust, then we can only try something even more daring!" Ye Xiu suddenly said.
"Speak." Chu Yunxiu looked at him.
Ye Xiu only said two words: "Wind Howl."
"As expected?" Chu Yunxiu stopped looking at Ye Xiu and looked at the ceiling.
"You've already noticed! Misty Rain might be able to copy Wind Howl's playstyle. "Ye Xiu said.
"That really is a desperate playstyle." Chu Yunxiu said.
"Do you have any other choice? If you don't want to give up like this. "Ye Xiu said.
Chu Yunxiu was silent.
Anyone could use a playstyle, the key was whether it was suitable or not. Team Misty Rain had always been considered a soft playstyle. This had practically become one of their playstyles. And now, they had to use this soft playstyle to fight against Wind Howl's desperate playstyle. This clearly wasn't a very suitable choice. This was just a helpless choice, a choice to seek victory in the midst of defeat. Even Wind Howl themselves, if their results hadn't been so bad, how could they have become so extreme? Fighting without a healer was still very risky.
The three fell into silence again. Chu Yunxiu rested one elbow on the table and stirred the coffee in front of her with a spoon in her other hand. She stirred for a very long time, but in the end, she still didn't drink a single sip.
"Let's go, let's go back." She suddenly stood up.
"You're leaving just like that?" Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng were both surprised by her abruptness.
"There are still two episodes of the TV series we haven't watched yet." Chu Yunxiu said.
"What time is it?" Ye Xiu looked at the time.
"Do you think I'm watching TV?" Chu Yunxiu gave Ye Xiu a look of disdain.
"Fine!" Ye Xiu helplessly got up with Su Mucheng.
It was already quite late at night. Chu Yunxiu had brought the two of them to an alley without street lights. Under the starlight, Chu Yunxiu's blurry figure walked in front. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Misty Rain's situation was filled with internal and external troubles. But as the team's captain, Chu Yunxiu could only silently support everything. In this aspect, she was perhaps more resilient than many male players. At the very least, Misty Rain was in such a terrible state. The outside world was denouncing their playstyle, but the club wasn't willing to change it. She had never said anything, only continued to think of ways to make this unreasonable team achieve satisfactory results.
"Okay, I'm going this way. Where's your hotel?" At the intersection, Chu Yunxiu stopped and asked.
"Over there." Su Mucheng pointed.
"Okay! Let's talk online later. "Chu Yunxiu walked over and hugged Su Mucheng.
"You have to do your best!" Su Mucheng said again. In reality, they didn't talk much that night. Chu Yunxiu clearly already knew what Ye Xiu had said. Maybe she just wanted to relieve her feelings with her girlfriend, or maybe she wanted to gather some courage and confidence from here.
In short …
"I will." Chu Yunxiu said softly. She turned around, waved, and walked away.
Soon, it was Round 32 of the Pro Alliance. In that night's match, Misty Rain, who no longer had anything to show for everyone to see, astonished everyone with their lineup in the team competition.
Six attackers, without a healer.
