The six players that Tyranny sent out in the end were the six players that had appeared in the most matches this season. The one that surprised people was probably Song Qiying's appearance.
After all, he had suffered a rather embarrassing loss in the group arena match, so it was hard for him not to be shocked. Since the following team competition was so important, it seemed safer to send out the more experienced Bai Yanfei. But in the end, Tyranny placed absolute trust in their young general, and once again sent him out at a crucial moment in the group arena match.
"Now isn't the time to train a rookie … …" Pan Lin couldn't help but complain about this arrangement.
"Hehe." The guest from Tyranny, Li Yibo, laughed. "This isn't training, it's just pure trust. Tyranny's players must have this kind of courage and confidence. "
Pan Lin was speechless. This so-called pure trust, no matter how one looked at it, seemed illogical! Were Tyranny's old generals going to bet on a chance that they might never have again on such a frightening trust?
While the two were talking, Happy's six players got up and walked towards the stage one by one.
Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, and Fang Rui. These three experienced All Stars had always been Happy's backbone, and were the three players that appeared in the most matches.
An Wenyi, Happy's Cleric, had always held a stable position in the team competition with this class.
And then, Tang Rou! She had just destroyed Tyranny's momentum in the group arena, and in a direct confrontation with Song Qiying, who was also a rookie, she had won very strongly. The debate for Best Rookie was becoming more and more difficult to find fault with.
The sixth player, Luo Ji! Happy was the player that appeared in the least matches this season, but in the first round of the semifinals against Team Tyranny, he had completely turned the tide of the match around in a ridiculous manner, causing a lot of discussion. During this time, the discussion was interrupted by the match between Samsara and Micrograss, but when Happy and Tyranny faced off again, Luo Ji's name would frequently appear in all sorts of discussions and predictions.
In the second round, Tyranny chose the map. Happy didn't send out Luo Ji. And the map that Tyranny chose didn't have the conditions to use the "Demolition Style". Tyranny seemed to have some misgivings about Luo Ji.
As a result, in the third round, after a simple understanding of the map, Happy immediately sent out Luo Ji for such an important deciding match. This was the first time it had appeared in the playoffs, so there was no way that they had practiced it beforehand. Was the so-called ability to "know the structure of the terrain at a glance and then demolish it" real?
For a moment, the discussion once again revolved around Luo Ji. Pan Lin, who had thought that Tyranny was very bold to send out Song Qiying, couldn't even look straight at Happy now.
No matter what, Song Qiying was still one of the top contenders for this season's Best Rookie. This was proof of his strength. As for Luo Ji? In the last few matches of the regular season, he hadn't done anything particularly outstanding. It wasn't until the first round of the semifinals that he suddenly caught everyone's attention. But with that ability, Pan Lin didn't believe that he could "tell with a glance". If he didn't have this ability, then Luo Ji's appearance was more of a bluff. And then? There was no "then". For the sake of setting up a trap, Happy had sent out this inexperienced and unskilled rookie. No matter how you looked at it, it was more risky than Tyranny sending out Song Qiying.
Amidst the noise, the players of the two teams had already lined up in the center of the stage.
After the referee went through the process, the lineups of both teams appeared on the big screen one by one.
They shook hands and didn't talk much. The tense atmosphere of the deciding match overwhelmed everything else. The air seemed to have frozen at this moment. After the players of the two teams silently completed the pre-match etiquette, they walked to their respective player booths under the referee's signal.
There was no provocation, no psychological probing, no inducements, and no "friendship first, competition second" type of harmonious performance. The match that would determine their hard work this year, or even their life, began in this silence. The audience felt this terrifying silence and felt extremely oppressed.
If the audience was like this, what about the players on the stage?
The characters of the two teams spawned at the two ends of the map. This map called "Seven Color Springs" was a square. The spawn locations weren't the most common four corners, but rather the middle of the 12 o 'clock, 3 o' clock, 6 o 'clock, and 9 o' clock. What was even more surprising was that the spawn locations of the two teams weren't symmetrical. Team Happy spawned at the 6 o 'clock position, while Team Tyranny spawned at the 3 o' clock position.
This was a break in Glory's tradition of spawn locations, but thinking about it carefully, whether it was in the Arena or the Alliance, there had never been a clear rule that the spawn locations had to be symmetrical. It was just that this had always been the case, so people had always treated it as a default rule. And in this crucial match, such a bold change had actually occurred. It immediately caused an uproar outside the stadium.
"It's actually not symmetrical!" Pan Lin yelled in surprise, "Coach Li, will this affect the match?"
"It will definitely affect it. The players on the stage don't know about this type of spawn location. They will use their own spawn locations to determine the other team's spawn locations. Then, through their grasp of distance, they can predict where and when the other team will appear. But in the current situation, both teams' predictions would be wrong. The first encounter would be a coincidence, and this would test the reaction and response of the players of both teams. Whoever can determine the source of the problem the fastest and most accurately will have a better grasp of the situation. "
Li Yibo said quite a bit, and the two teams began to move. When the movements of the characters became clear, the crowd once again went into an uproar.
Tyranny, who had always been bold and direct, didn't lose his true colors in this random map. Simple and clear, he went straight for the center.
Happy went around in a roundabout way, splitting into two groups. Lord Grim, Dancing Rain, Hai Wuliang, and Little Cold Hands formed a group of four and went around the left. Tang Rou's Han Yanrou went around the right by herself.
If the spawn locations were symmetrical, then Team Tyranny would be attacked by Happy left and right. But Tyranny was going straight for the 3 o 'clock position, which meant that Tang Rou's Han Yanrou would be the first to face Tyranny's entire team. A single character's movement speed would always be faster than the entire team's movement speed.
The asymmetrical spawn locations created trouble for Happy. In terms of timing, Tang Rou definitely wouldn't expect to meet Team Tyranny here.
The movement in all three directions continued. Happy's group of four, whether it was the projection or the broadcast, had been ignored. Everyone was watching Tyranny's team and Tang Rou's Han Yanrou's movements, judging the speed of the two sides and predicting where they would meet.
As the television broadcaster, in addition to human interpretation, there were also many calculation software. Very quickly, the television broadcast outlined the possible movement routes of the two parties, and then left a blood mark at the intersection. After that, the camera zoomed in to show the terrain where the two parties might meet.
The terrain was also unfavorable for Tang Rou!
If it was a flat terrain, they would be able to find the other side from far away. No matter how many people there were, they would have enough time to adjust. There was no need to panic. But this map called "Seven Color Springs" wasn't a flat terrain. The four spawn points were four highlands, and the other places had steep terrain. This map had a bit of a highland canyon feel to it. It was just that this feel was shattered by the other scenes mixed in. Especially the scenery of the Seven Color Springs in the middle was completely different from the desolate highland canyon. The Seven Color Springs in the middle of the desolation had lush trees, and a large area of the springs was completely covered by the shade of the trees. The sunlight shone through the branches and leaves on the surface of the springs, reflecting beams of seven colors. As the branches and leaves shook, the beams of light were constantly shattered on the surface of the water, leaving behind a psychedelic light.
Tang Rou's Han Yanrou couldn't reach the Seven Color Springs at this time, as her route was limited by the highlands on both sides. At the fork in the canyon, Team Tyranny was moving from the east, and it was the intersection point that the broadcast company determined after analyzing the movement speed of the two sides. Perhaps it wasn't so accurate, but at this fork, Tang Rou and Tyranny would definitely find each other. Now, everyone was only concerned about the distance between them when they found each other. This would determine Tang Rou's fate. No one would be so excessive as to expect a miracle like one against five. The two sides hadn't met yet, but everyone was already treating this as Tang Rou's escape story.
Happy's supporters were extremely anxious, as they couldn't imagine what kind of turn of events would happen. Han Yanrou's movement speed didn't change, and her direction didn't change, as she gradually approached the fork. Pan Lin had already taken a deep breath, waiting for the moment when the two sides collided. As they got closer, their judgment of the encounter became more and more accurate, as if … it would be very close. The situation was developing towards Happy's disadvantage.
"The two sides are close, just a little bit more …" Pan Lin's voice became louder as he stared at the movements of the two sides. "Soon, the fork, Han Yanrou's rush … rush … Han Yanrou's stopped?" Pan Lin gathered all the strength in his body and shouted, "Charge out!", but the words were stuck in his throat. Tang Rou's Han Yanrou actually stopped the moment she was about to walk out of the fork.
"What's wrong?" Amidst Pan Lin's puzzled voice, Han Yanrou even began to retreat, sticking to the side of the mountain wall. She retreated quickly, but very carefully.
The director realized the crux of the problem, and Tang Rou's perspective was immediately cut to the screen. This perspective represented not only what Tang Rou saw in the game, but also what she heard.
Footsteps!
The sound of disorderly footsteps could be heard. From Tang Rou's perspective.
