Was Ye Xiu testing them?
After his discussion with Yu Wenzhou, Huang Shaotian began to carefully observe Lord Grim's movements.
Team Tyranny wasn't shaken in the slightest by his provocation. They maintained a high level of patience, so Ye Xiu's movements slowed down.
Retreating. Lord Grim was retreating, but his pace perfectly matched Team Tyranny's rhythm. Not everyone could see this. At least, Pan Lin and Li Yibo didn't mention it in the broadcast. They only said that Ye Xiu was beginning to act cautiously.
He was acting cautiously, but for what purpose?
Testing. He was still continuing to test them.
Before, it was an offensive test, but this time, it was a defensive test.
"He's testing Team Tyranny's rhythm and tension." This time, it was Yu Wenzhou who messaged Huang Shaotian.
Rhythm and tension.
Normal players didn't know much about these terms, but pro players immediately understood them as soon as they heard them.
Rhythm and tension, in simple terms, referred to the rhythm of a team's transition between offense and defense. It had to be neither flat nor exaggerated. It had to be just right.
Right now, Ye Xiu was constantly adjusting his own rhythm. He wanted to influence Tyranny's rhythm and observe their movements.
"This isn't for the victory of this match, but for the victory of this entire series." Yu Wenzhou messaged him again.
Huang Shaotian easily understood this point. Tyranny had been rotating throughout the regular season. It wasn't until the end of the season that all of their generals began to play together. But everyone knew that this was just a warm-up. Their true strength would only be released in the playoffs. Tyranny's preparation for this season was something that couldn't be grasped without facing them personally. So Ye Xiu didn't hesitate to take the risk alone. Tactically speaking, it was very risky, but strategically speaking, it was a safe method to focus on the long term.
But would Tyranny let him see everything so easily?
Suddenly, the two gunners on both sides of Tyranny's formation charged out again.
Bang bang bang!
Spear Blossom Light once again shot towards Lord Grim. But this time, Ye Xiu was prepared. When the two characters rushed out, he was already retreating.
The broadcast changed to show Happy's four characters who were lying in ambush at the residence.
They were not far away from Happy's ambush. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was also retreating in this direction. Would Team Tyranny step into the ambush just like that?
No!
The two Gunners that suddenly rushed out only used their firepower to force Lord Grim back, indicating that they didn't welcome him. Tyranny did not intend to pursue the matter. As a result, when Lord Grim retreated into the ambush range, Tyranny's characters were still quite a distance away!
Then, Han Wenqing and Lin Jingyan didn't come forward. Only Zhang Jiale and Qin Muyun were attacking from afar. Team Tyranny didn't enter the ambush at all. Instead, they used their ranged characters to attack Lord Grim non-stop.
Lord Grim also had ranged attacks, but how could his firepower compare to the two gunners? He obviously couldn't shoot them, so he could only retreat, and retreat again and again.
Team Tyranny's formation was actually to have the ranged characters open the path at the front, while the melee characters followed behind to provide support. This was a formation that defied common sense, but it was very suitable for the current situation. Even if the ranged characters entered the ambush, they wouldn't be as deep as the melee characters.
At this moment, Lord Grim had already retreated very deep into the ambush.
In the Residential Area, the houses were built on trees. The entire area was lush and green. Many of the houses built on the trees were covered by the leaves. It was very well hidden. One look and you could tell that it was a good place for an ambush. As a result, after Zhang Xinjie gave the order in the chat, even Zhang Jiale and Qin Muyun stopped chasing Lord Grim.
"Aren't you going to heal?" Zhang Jiale asked Ye Xiu in the public chat.
"Don't worry." Ye Xiu calmly replied. He was all by himself. Even though he hadn't clashed with the other party, he had lost quite a bit of his HP as he retreated. He only had 47% HP left, not even half of his HP left.
He was already half-dead, but Tyranny was still able to restrain themselves and not rush forward to kill him. Their patience and perseverance were truly frightening.
Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock walked forward. Just like that, he stood outside Happy's ambush circle, leisurely observing the terrain.
"Happy, you've overreached yourself!" Pan Lin said.
Even if this was a team battle map, it wasn't so big that Cloud Recesses couldn't be seen. If someone stood on the side and slowly observed, they would quickly figure out where to guard against. And right now, the one observing was Master Tactician Zhang Xinjie, the one who never missed a single detail, Zhang Xinjie!
Immovable Rock suddenly raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction.
On the other side, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms immediately raised his arm. A grenade flew in that direction.
Boom!
But halfway through a beautiful arc, the grenade suddenly exploded in the air. Flames rained down. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms had thrown an Explosive Grenade.
"Haha, sorry about that!" At this moment, Ye Xiu sent a message in the public chat. On the other side of the forest, smoke was coming out of the tip of Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. He was the one who had blown up the Grenade.
At this moment, Lin Jingyan's Dark Thunder suddenly raised his hand. Something that looked like a wine bottle also flew in that direction.
"Are you guys testing me?" Ye Xiu leisurely sent a message first. Then, Lord Grim quickly raised his hand and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was raised. With a bang, the bottle that flew out was smashed into pieces. What fell out was actually flames, which splashed onto the ground and spread.
"Are you guys trying to start a forest fire? That's going to be a bit difficult. "Ye Xiu sent another message.
The broadcast really cooperated with the players. As Ye Xiu said this, the camera immediately zoomed in on the flames on the ground. Sure enough, as Ye Xiu said, the flames created by these skills didn't last long. In the end, there weren't any flames left behind.
"Why don't you learn from Huang Shaotian and cut down all these trees?" Ye Xiu said.
"F * ck f * ck f * ck!" Huang Shaotian, who was watching the match, was also attacked. He quickly sent a message to Yu Wenzhou to express his anger.
Tyranny was indifferent to Ye Xiu's ridicule. None of the five players in the team responded. Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock continued to adjust his view. He carefully observed everything while communicating with the others in the team chat.
Ye Xiu didn't know any of this, but the audience could see it.
Not only could they see Tyranny's discussion in the chat, they also knew where Team Happy, apart from Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, were hiding. Tyranny was discussing the possibilities of each character's hiding spot. Usually, it was a combination of class analysis to see which position would be most beneficial for which class.
Happy's four characters had four classes, and each of them had several possibilities analyzed. The audience looked and saw that all of them were correct! Happy's four hiding spots were indeed within Tyranny's range of possibilities.
After that, he would conduct a further analysis from several possibilities, eliminating those that were less likely and narrowing down the scope.
This step was determined by the player's skill style. The player's skill style would also determine the position and environment in which they would be able to display their full strength.
As a result, another half of the possibilities were eliminated. The audience looked again and saw that all of them were correct!
Terrifying!
Too terrifying!
The match was basically static. Let alone fighting, there wasn't even much movement. The broadcast gave a close-up shot of Happy's four characters, piecing together four small squares. Then, there was Team Tyranny's analysis. When a certain point was mentioned, the camera would immediately give that point a close-up shot. The broadcast seemed to have become Team Tyranny's chat.
But even so, the audience felt a chill run down their spines. Team Tyranny used incomparably clear logic to decipher Team Happy's ambush.
After filtering through the player's skill style, they further filtered through class combinations, attack and defense coordination, formation, and so on.
In the end, of the six possibilities for the four characters' positions, only two of them weren't completely certain. But to be able to deduce to this extent was enough to make the audience gasp in amazement. Because of the six possibilities, Happy's four characters' true positions were all within them. Following Team Tyranny's analysis, the away team audience's applause came wave after wave. Every time the analysis was correct, it was bound to be a climax. And as for Happy's fans? They were all deathly silent.
Happy's arrangement, Happy's ambush. Just like that, the opponent stood right in front of them and analyzed it bit by bit. Happy's side didn't move at all.
Were they competing in patience?
But the opponent wasn't competing in patience with them! While you're being patient, your opponent has already seen through you!
An ambush that had already been seen through didn't count as an ambush anymore. Tyranny quickly decided on a method of attack based on the possible ambush formation.
Bang bang bang bang!
Gunshots.
Once again, the two gunners took the initiative to attack. They ignored Lord Grim, who was standing right in front of them, and pointed at the seemingly empty forest, launching attacks.
Dancing Rain!
Tyranny's target was Dancing Rain's position. He didn't attack the most important healer in the team competition, nor did he attack Happy's rookie Luo Ji, who was making his first appearance in the playoffs. Instead, Tyranny's first target was the experienced Su Mucheng, a Launcher with an advantage in long-range attacks.
The audience knew the reason for this somewhat inconceivable choice.
Because they had seen Tyranny's entire analysis.
There was only one reason for choosing Dancing Rain as the first target: Dancing Rain's position was the one they had the most confidence in!
Steady, no mistakes, typical Zhang Xinjie's style!
