The match officially began.
Pan Lin and Li Yibo continued at their usual pace. When they saw the home team's map selection, they immediately searched for the map's information and introduced it to the players. If it were a spectator who didn't know the situation, they might really think that the commentator and guest were omniscient and familiar with every map.
The map was Void Sand Sea.
It was shaped like a rhombus. The two teams spawned at the north and south ends of the map. In the center was an oasis. To the east of the oasis was the ruins of an ancient city. To the west was a sandy valley. The entire map had a variety of terrains and rich elements. There were many strategies that could be used. It was a map that required a lot of adaptability.
Under Pan Lin and Li Yibo's hurried introductions, the two teams finished loading. The two teams each had five players. In total, ten characters spawned at the north and south ends of the map.
The broadcast quickly switched to Team Happy's side. According to their experience in the regular season, Happy often swapped out their sixth player as soon as they entered the field to catch the opponent off guard. Happy purposely swapped out Blue Rain's old captain, Wei Chen, to give off the feeling of a secret weapon. Even the broadcast director was very concerned about whether or not Wei Chen was going to go on the field.
In the end, Happy didn't make any substitutions. As soon as the match started, the five characters immediately rushed out of the spawn point.
"Happy is very decisive. It seems like they already have a plan! On the other hand, Blue Rain seems to be a bit hesitant. "Pan Lin said.
"Haha, it can't be considered hesitant. Blue Rain has always been the one to make the first move! Plus, it's an away game. "Li Yibo said.
"Okay, Blue Rain is moving now. They aren't going straight. Instead, they're going to the left. If that's the case, they should be heading towards the ancient city ruins." Pan Lin explained the situation.
At the start of the match, the home team was going straight, while the away team was going around. It was a bit of a role reversal. Under normal circumstances, the away team was unfamiliar with the map. If they rashly used tactics that relied on the terrain, it was very easy for them to fall into the opponent's trap. Visiting teams were usually more inclined to fight head-on. Fighting in an open space was equivalent to wiping out the opponent's familiarity with the map. But how could the home team let the other side have their way so easily? Whether it was the individual competition or the group arena, perhaps there would be people like Ye Xiu who would choose a simple map to fight on. However, no team would do this in the team competition. If the map of the team competition was used well, it would be easier to fight efficiently.
"Blue Rain isn't moving fast!" Pan Lin realized the problem. Blue Rain was moving towards the east, but it was moving very slowly.
"They seem to be studying the map." Li Yibo said as he watched Blue Rain's character's actions.
Since the match had just started, it was impossible for Happy to descend from the heavens and appear right in front of them. As a result, Blue Rain's character's positioning was rather loose. It didn't seem to be a strict tactical requirement. Everyone seemed to be free to move about. The broadcast cut to the perspective of several Blue Rain players, and they could clearly see that they were all looking left and right. They were all moving in the same general direction, but each character was actually in a separate area. It was as if each person had their own track in a race, completely unrelated to each other.
Afterwards, there was quite a bit of communication in Blue Rain's team channel, allowing everyone to understand that Blue Rain was exploring the map.
"Blue Rain is probably trying to open up an area that they're relatively familiar with on this away map, and then lure Happy over here to fight, doing their best to negate their home game advantage," Li Yibo said.
"Oh, this … isn't this what that team often uses?" Pan Lin seemed to have thought of something.
"That's right. Team Thunder often uses this method in their away games, "Li Yibo said.
"But they can't just randomly choose an area, right?" Pan Lin said.
"Of course, if you choose an open area, the home team definitely won't agree. So the choice of the battlefield is also a matter of great wisdom! "Li Yibo said.
"Team Blue Rain seems to be speeding up," Pan Lin discovered.
"It seems like they're not very satisfied with this area!" Li Yibo said.
This was something that had been reported in Team Blue Rain's channel, which was why Li Yibo was so confident in his conclusion.
Team Blue Rain, who weren't satisfied with the area near the start of the game, continued to advance. And as time went on, the two sides were likely to collide. Team Blue Rain, on the other hand, unknowingly went into a tactical formation as they progressed. The spectators, on the other hand, suddenly realized that Team Blue Rain was no longer as loose as they had been at the start of the game.
The switch was so subtle that no one noticed it. It could be seen that Team Blue Rain's tactical changes in this area had reached a natural level.
The team continued to move along the northeastern edge, and gradually, the oasis in the center and the ruins of the ancient city in the west could be seen. Team Happy's figure appeared in the oasis at this time.
"Be careful of concealment," Yu Wenzhou said in the channel. Team Blue Rain quickly entered stealth mode. Rolling, rolling, and crawling were used a lot. Without exposing their characters, they were still looking for opportunities to observe their opponents.
Team Blue Rain didn't just approach Happy like this. Instead, they continued with their tactical train of thought and moved the team into the ruins of the ancient city.
The ruins of the ancient city were filled with broken walls. Just like this, they planted all sorts of places for cover and ambush.
"That's fine," Huang Shaotian suggested after looking at the screen.
"Everyone look around. Shaotian, you keep an eye on that side," Yu Wenzhou said.
"How about I go say hello?" Huang Shaotian said.
"Do you have a way to get close? If someone has to go, it should be Zheng Xuan! "Yu Wenzhou said.
"Fuck, that's so troublesome. Forget it!" Zheng Xuan immediately showed his lack of fighting spirit.
"You can't do it?" Yu Wenzhou said.
"It's too much pressure! But if you want me to go, I'll go, "Zheng Xuan said.
Yu Wenzhou smiled. He knew that Zheng Xuan was expressing his absolute obedience to his captain. This guy had always been like this. His lack of fighting spirit made it so that he didn't have much initiative. Basically, he just needed others to push him forward. For example, right now, he definitely wouldn't volunteer like Huang Shaotian, but if Yu Wenzhou really did give him an order, he would do his best to complete it.
"Forget it. Just look at the terrain. Shaotian, go keep an eye on that side. Try not to get noticed," Yu Wenzhou said.
"I'm just afraid that they'll reveal too many openings. I won't be able to hold back." Huang Shaotian said as he rubbed his palms together. It seemed like it wasn't a big deal, but in reality, it was just him being a lookout.
In the two teams' channels, Happy's side didn't have much to say, but Blue Rain's side did. Their intentions were already clear to the audience. Happy's fans in the home stadium couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but they had no way of telling the players on the field. They could only boo Blue Rain's fans in the away stadium to vent their anger.
Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain temporarily separated from the team and left the ancient ruins. He continued to "crawl and roll" as he approached Team Happy's position. But before he could get far, he saw Team Happy heading towards the ancient ruins.
"They're coming," Huang Shaotian hurriedly sent the message. "I'll delay them. You guys hurry."
"Roger that," the team replied.
And so, Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain didn't hide anymore and stood out openly.
Boom boom boom!
Cannon fire instantly flew towards him.
"F * ck, Su Mucheng. You're not even going to say hello?" Huang Shaotian shouted.
However, he was still at the edge of a Launcher's range. The attacks weren't enough to threaten him, so Troubling Rain easily dodged them.
"You have something to say even if I didn't say hello. If I did say hello, wouldn't you just go on and on?" Ye Xiu replied, but Team Happy suddenly sped up. The Cleric was even left behind as the other attackers pounced forward.
Huh?
Huang Shaotian's eyes lit up. This was a great opportunity! These guys had actually left the Cleric behind. If he could sneak in and ambush the Cleric, how beautiful would that be?
Team Blue Rain had been to the side before, so Huang Shaotian had some understanding of the terrain. He immediately had Troubling Rain dodge to the side and hide. His so-called stalling, of course, didn't mean that he would rush up and fight with Happy's entire team. Of course, he could stall for time, but after stalling for time, he would probably die. The price of stalling for time was a bit high.
Stalling, he still had to do it tactically. He had to stall so that the other side couldn't figure out his intentions.
For example, Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain had suddenly disappeared to the side. Could Happy ignore his existence? Of course not. This opportunist might see a flaw in your defense and rush out to take a bite out of you. This bite would often be fatal.
Huang Shaotian knew that his playstyle wasn't a secret. He knew that the other side knew enough about him, so he used this point to make Happy pay more attention to his disappearance.
"Huang Shaotian, you're leaving just like that? Then we won't send you off! "In the public chat, he saw Ye Xiu say this.
"I'm not leaving, I'm following you guys!" Huang Shaotian said. He really didn't let Troubling Rain hide. Ye Xiu wasn't someone who was easy to deal with. If he didn't create a substantial threat, he wouldn't be able to lure him.
"Is that so? Then you'd better follow closely. Don't get lost when all your people are killed!" Ye Xiu said.
"No, no, I've played this map more than eight hundred times. I'm very familiar with it. I can feel the way with my eyes closed. Do you know where I am right now? Haha! "
"Isn't it right here?" Ye Xiu said. Lord Grim appeared in front of Troubling Rain just like that.
"More than eight hundred times? Very familiar? "Ye Xiu sent a sneering emoji.
Huang Shaotian knew that things weren't looking good. The other side had seen through his intentions and deduced the route he would choose. Of course, they wouldn't come over to fight him one-on-one. They were going to surround him and kill him right here!
However, this was exactly what he wanted!
If he didn't reveal such an opening, how could he attract Happy's entire team! Huang Shaotian was also sneering, but in his heart.
