In Season 10 of the Glory Alliance, the final team competition of the regular season was about to begin in the home stadium of the ten teams. Twenty teams, six players on each team, for a total of 120 players. Among them, 60 players would put an end to their year of hard work, 48 players would embark on the more demanding journey of the playoffs, and the remaining 12 players would temporarily bid farewell to this stage after this match.
Happy home stadium, two teams.
One side had already confirmed that they would continue their journey, while the other side was still making their final effort.
They had to win.
Team 301 had no other choice. Only by winning could they ensure that their year of hard work hadn't been in vain.
Happy on the other side …
"It's the final round of the regular season. Show off your growth this year!" Ye Xiu said.
All the players were solemn.
"Fang Rui, you too." Ye Xiu called out.
"F * ck off!" Fang Rui wasn't happy. He was already an All Star, yet he still had to use such a childish word like "growth." How annoying. Even if he was changing classes, Fang Rui still felt that "integration" was more appropriate than "growth."
"Beat them well. This is a rare warm-up for the playoffs. 301 will definitely have the determination and desire to win of a playoff team. Carefully feel this rhythm! "Ye Xiu said.
This wasn't just a slogan.
Experience in the playoffs, experience in the finals. These were all things that would be discussed separately. The playoffs had an even more intense rhythm and atmosphere, and the finals would be even more intense. In this sort of situation, the mental state of a player was especially important. Players without this sort of experience would be overly nervous or overly cautious in this sort of situation. They could be found everywhere.
Experienced players knew what sort of attitude was most appropriate in the playoffs and even in the finals. They could better adjust their emotions and mental state. When it was time to be cautious, they would be cautious. When it was time to act, they wouldn't be soft. There were quite a few players who didn't seem to be very eye-catching in the regular season, but when it came to the playoffs, they would immediately shine brightly. These were the so-called big-hearted players. They had extremely strong mental fortitude, and the more crucial the moment, the more they could stand up and turn the tide.
Blue Rain's current player, the Qigong Master Song Xiao, was a famous player with a big heart. Just from the regular season's performance and technical statistics, he couldn't be considered a god, but once the playoffs came, his combat power would soar. He entered the league in the fifth season. After his rookie season, he became a core player and helped Blue Rain win the championship in the sixth season. He also won the title of "Mr. Clutch" in the playoffs that year.
Team Blue Rain's lineup had experienced a lot of changes over the years, but Song Xiao always had a position in the team. In the regular season, he was often rotated, but in the playoffs, his playing time would suddenly increase. Clearly, Team Blue Rain also clearly understood his value.
Song Xiao was considered to be a natural in this aspect. The vast majority of these players were nurtured by accumulating playoff experience. These experienced and level-headed veterans might not have played much in the regular season, but they would shine brightly in the post-season. This was the so-called value of playoff experience.
Team Happy's rookies obviously didn't have this kind of experience. Even though from Ye Xiu's observations, Happy's rookies already had abnormal mental fortitude, it was hard to say whether they would be able to persevere through the playoffs. This match was a rare experience. 301 would definitely be as motivated as they were in the playoffs, so Ye Xiu hoped that Happy's players wouldn't be too relaxed. They would be able to show the appropriate attitude and carefully experience the atmosphere of this life and death battle. Even though the previous few rounds had already been very intense, it hadn't reached the level of deciding life and death. After all, it still couldn't compare to the intensity of the playoffs.
"Understood." After Happy's players answered, they each entered the player booths. 301 was also ready. The map loaded, and the two sides were about to begin the match.
Happy's map choice: Paulownia Tower.
It was a map with a high vantage point, clearly taking into account 301's current tactical characteristics. With a high vantage point, Happy would be able to grasp 301's movements from more angles and guard against the Assassin's Life-Risking Strike that they were currently using.
As a result, the goal of the opening battle was very simple and direct: seize the high vantage point!
Team 301 clearly wasn't clueless about this map. After the match began, they didn't try to avoid it. The majority of their troops charged out.
As such an important strategic point, Paulownia Tower obviously couldn't be biased towards the spawn points of the two teams. The distance from the spawn point to Paulownia Tower was exactly the same. Who arrived first depended on the movement speed of the two sides.
301's entire team moved out, but very quickly, there was a gap between the two characters.
Scene Killer!
301's captain Yang Cong's Scene Killer charged at the very front. He didn't seem to have any intention of coordinating with the rest of the team. With his superior movement speed, he was the first to rush towards the Paulownia Tower.
Team Happy's characters had less Silver equipment, so their stats were more transparent. It was already Round 38, so Happy had attracted enough attention. The various teams had more or less studied their characters. In terms of movement speed, Yang Cong was confident that he wouldn't lose to any of the normal characters in Team Happy. Unfortunately, Happy still had an abnormal character in their ranks.
Lord Grim.
If this unspecialized character used movement skills, his movement speed would probably be faster than Yang Cong's Scene Killer.
However, Yang Cong judged that Happy wouldn't be responsible for occupying the high vantage point for Lord Grim. In Happy's main lineup, Lord Grim would be the team's main force in close combat. The one occupying the high vantage point would undoubtedly be Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain.
However, Dancing Rain wouldn't be faster than Scene Killer. Yang Cong believed that Happy had a clear understanding of this. As a result, having Lord Grim occupy the high vantage point for now, and then having Dancing Rain take his place when she arrived was a more reliable plan.
Yang Cong's thoughts were very clear and detailed.
Even though 301 Degrees hadn't had any outstanding playoff records for many years, they had been in and out of the playoffs quite a few times. As a player in Season 3, Yang Cong had accumulated many seasons' worth of experience. He was very clear on the feeling of suffocation in this sort of life-or-death match. He obviously didn't lack playoff experience, so he could calmly and cautiously analyze the situation.
His Scene Killer had charged out alone, not to take the high vantage point, but to scout. Happy's Lord Grim could be faster than him and occupy the upper hand. At this moment, clashing with him wasn't a safe decision. And the rhythm of the playoffs was to establish an invincible position. As a result, Yang Cong didn't have any intentions of fighting.
He only wanted to see, see Happy's arrangements, see Happy's intentions. If there was an opportunity, he would attack. If there wasn't, he would wait. In any case, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would wait until he had enough confidence before leaving.
Paulownia Tower quickly appeared in Manager Yang's field of view. He observed the terrain around him and began to have Scene Killer circle around it.
Based on his estimation of Lord Grim's speed, if he went all out, he should have arrived by now.
There didn't seem to be anyone on the roof of Paulownia Tower, so where was Lord Grim hiding? Downstairs? Inside the tower? Or somewhere nearby? Waiting for him to go up and launch a sneak attack?
While Yang Cong judged his opponent's movement speed, he believed that his opponent had a clear judgment of him as well. Even though his Scene Killer had a full set of Silver equipment and his stats were hidden, after fighting in the circle for so many years, even if there wasn't any accurate data, Scene Killer's stats had long been estimated by everyone. Happy had a veteran in his team, so he definitely had a good idea of him.
Circling around was to determine Lord Grim's exact location.
However, after a full circle, he didn't find anything.
Yang Cong clearly saw all the hiding spots near Paulownia Tower, but there was no sign of Lord Grim. Then, if Lord Grim had arrived, then there was only one possibility: he was hiding inside Paulownia Tower.
Paulownia Tower was a circular staircase built inside the tower, all the way to the top. There were no windows in the tower, so if Lord Grim was hiding inside, then Ye Xiu would have no way of knowing whether 301's players had arrived or not. He could only lie in wait.
Yang Cong didn't go further to confirm. After circling around, he already had a new plan in his mind. He found a good cover next to Paulownia Tower, so Scene Killer immediately moved there and set up an ambush.
Whether or not Lord Grim had arrived, Yang Cong didn't dare to make any guarantees.
But he was sure that Dancing Rain hadn't arrived yet. And if she wanted to get there first, then she would arrive very quickly, and Scene Killer's hiding spot would be perfect for him to intercept and kill Dancing Rain. Entangling Dancing Rain would ruin Happy's plan to seize the high ground. Yang Cong's Assassin wouldn't be at a disadvantage in a melee fight against a Launcher. If he forced Happy to come to his aid, then he would restrict them as a whole, completely ruining their original plan.
Yang Cong's plan could be said to be meticulous. This was the quality of a veteran with playoff experience.
Scene Killer set up an ambush, and his choice of position was excellent. Not only would he attack Happy's spawn point, but he would also ensure that he wouldn't be attacked from above or below Paulownia Tower. Looking from both ends, it was a blind spot.
Yang Cong had just set up an ambush for Scene Killer when he heard the sound of cannonfire.
She's here!
Yang Cong knew that Dancing Rain was using Aerial Fire to move.
The sound came closer and closer, closer and closer. Yang Cong had already begun counting down in his mind. He wanted to attack at the best moment.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Yang Cong could almost imagine Dancing Rain gliding through the air with one shot and one jump!
Boom!
She's here!
After another sound, Yang Cong immediately had such a clear idea. This was the result of several years of experience. He didn't need to calculate, he could just rely on his intuition.
Scene Killer got up, and Dancing Rain's figure immediately appeared in his view.
Shining Cut!
Scene Killer charged out.
