Team One's advance was quickly adjusted. The players with a bit of Glory knowledge immediately realized that this was an adjustment targeted at Team Two's formation. However, the audience had never been on stage before, so they didn't know that such a huge mistake had occurred. For a moment, they were all shocked, thinking that Team One's Master Tactician, Yu Wenzhou, had predicted Team Two's formation.
As for Team Two's supporters, when they saw this, they were like lambs waiting to be caught. They immediately went into an uproar, their hearts filled with worry. They hated that they couldn't rush onto the stage and grab Team Two's players and warn them.
Seeing Team One's players approach, quite a few of the audience members stood up anxiously, but then they saw Team Two's formation suddenly change. The scattered players suddenly contracted, facing Team One, creating a situation where they had the advantage in numbers.
However, Team One's reaction was just as quick. Their previous strategy was immediately nullified. They also used a charging formation, preparing to face Team Two head-on.
The audience members who knew the ropes clapped enthusiastically, repeatedly praising the two Master Tacticians. They both had god-like foresight.
How could they know that at this moment, the two commanders on stage, Yu Wenzhou and Zhang Xinjie were both smiling bitterly.
They were smart, but the other side wasn't dumb either. In reality, both sides had seen the holographic projection from the stage's window. There was no such thing as god-like foresight here. They were just making arrangements based on the map! Because both sides were top-tier experts, their tactical knowledge was naturally extremely high. As a result, even though they weren't on the same team, their coordination wasn't too distant. After receiving orders, their actions were clean and efficient. The two sides made adjustments to each other as if they had planned beforehand. The audience members who didn't know the inside story naturally thought that it was amazing.
When Yu Wenzhou and Zhang Xinjie saw this, both sides were discerning people. Sneak attacks, sneak attacks, outflanking, intercepting, and the like couldn't be done. This match could only be done through direct confrontation.
In a direct confrontation, Zhang Xinjie felt that his side had the advantage. After all, their team was a well-coordinated pro team. Team One, on the other hand, was an offensive-oriented team. They could bully players who were clearly weaker than them, but now that both sides were All-Stars, they were evenly matched. How could they be so easily suppressed by the other side?
With that thought in mind, Zhang Xinjie decided not to play any more tricks. He gave the order, and the five members of Team Two went forward in an X formation.
The audience thought that the fight was about to begin. Who would have thought that the first team, who had charged forward aggressively at the start of the match, would suddenly become timid. Not only did they not meet the battle head-on, they even began to retreat. The arrangement of their positioning made the audience confused. What made everyone even more confused was that when Team One shrank back, Team Two suddenly stopped as well.
The audience looked at each other. What was the meaning of this tactical confrontation? They couldn't understand it at all!
The audience was confused, but Zhang Xinjie was sweating profusely.
Why did Team Two suddenly stop moving forward? This was because after Team One retreated, he couldn't see Team One's exact position from the window. The five members of Team One took advantage of the obstacles in his field of view to hide.
Zhang Xinjie was naturally shocked. He immediately understood that Yu Wenzhou's strategic insight was a level higher than his own. He knew that the difference between this match and normal matches was that the commanders on both sides would be able to see the overall situation through the holographic projection. This definitely wasn't possible in a normal match. And with Zhang Xinjie in Team Two, there was no dispute as to who would be the commander. As a result, Yu Wenzhou had paid special attention to Zhang Xinjie's position on the stage, and used it to determine his blind spots in the holographic projection. And now, he was taking advantage of this to hide the five members of Team One. This time, the enemy was in the dark, and they were in the light. The situation was completely different. Zhang Xinjie hadn't paid any attention to Yu Wenzhou's position on the stage, and it wasn't good for him to make wild guesses. He could only have his team temporarily stop.
Zhang Xinjie didn't try to hide anything, and immediately explained the current situation.
"I can see it from here," Wang Jiexi immediately replied. The six of them had different positions on the stage, and different viewing angles. Zhang Xinjie's blind spots were visible from Wang Jiexi's side.
"Then you take command!" Zhang Xinjie handed over command.
Although they were Master Tacticians, it didn't mean that they were guaranteed to win with their commands. It was just that in comparison, Zhang Xinjie was the best choice. Now that they had encountered such a difficult situation, they had to let Wang Jiexi take command, but it couldn't be said that it was a foreshadowing of defeat. Zhang Xinjie was still in the team. Team One was lying in ambush, so they weren't in a hurry to advance. After Wang Jiexi observed Team One's arrangements, he understood their intentions. Naturally, Team Two also made corresponding adjustments.
The adjustments were simple.
Their goal was to avoid being at a disadvantage, but they also didn't want to take advantage of seeing their opponent's arrangements. Because this match was too transparent, and because of the mistakes in the design of the stage, the other side knew themselves and knew their enemy. Even if Yu Wenzhou had used Zhang Xinjie's view to calculate this, he immediately switched to Wang Jiexi's command. They were back to square one, and neither side could deceive the other.
Even if Wang Jiexi was deceived, there was still Li Xuan, Deng Fusheng …. If they weren't the captain, then they were vice-captains. Which one of them wasn't capable of holding their own? Could it be that Yu Wenzhou wanted to find all of their blind spots? If that was the case, then their space of movement would be reduced to nothing, and they wouldn't be able to launch any more sneak attacks.
This contest really did reflect the strength of the experts on both sides. It was just that the audience, who didn't know what was going on, didn't quite understand. Only someone like Ye Xiu, who was an expert and had been on stage before, saw the movements of the two teams and immediately understood the strange situation they were in. He couldn't help but treat it as a joke.
"Aiyaya, this is so boring. You can see us, and we can see you. Is this a game of hide-and-seek? Why don't you all jump out and fight, one at a time! "
The two sides hadn't faced each other directly yet, but Huang Shaotian had finally activated Team One's chat, and he began to chatter away. These words couldn't be seen on the holographic projection, but they could be seen clearly on the broadcast screen, as well as on the monitors of the pro players.
Huang Shaotian was advocating for everyone to step out and fight one at a time.
"Do you dare?"
"Do you want to come or not?"
"Are you scared?"
"Do you want me to fight the two of you?"
No one from Team Two answered. Huang Shaotian of course began to taunt them, implying that Team Two didn't dare to fight, that they were too cowardly.
Many of the audience members clearly weren't as calm as the pro players, and they were already getting excited. Team One looked down on Team Two for being cowards, while Team Two mocked Huang Shaotian for not having any professionalism, saying that they didn't want to fight one on one in a team battle.
For a moment, nothing happened on stage, but the atmosphere in the audience was filled with the smell of gunpowder. They were just short of a melee.
Team Two remained calm. First, they were already used to it, and second … Huang Shaotian's taunts were right. Their Team Two didn't dare to fight one on one.
If it was a 1v1, it would also depend on the team configuration. If it was a team, Team Two had support and crowd control, which was very complete. But if it was a 1v1, this team was full of violent characters. If you wanted Zhang Xinjie's support Cleric from Team Two to go up, it would be a complete waste. How could Team Two agree to a 1v1?
However, they didn't withdraw. Huang Shaotian had seen through them. He knew that they wouldn't agree, so he just kept spamming the chat to take advantage of them. This was his usual style. Team Two's players were all All-Stars, so they wouldn't be so easily provoked. They could only laugh bitterly in private. Some of Team Two's players wanted to go up and challenge Huang Shaotian, but they couldn't do anything about it. Han Wenqing was currently squatting in the substitute position!
If they let Huang Shaotian continue to taunt them like this, it wouldn't look good on them. Team Two pressed forward, but Team One seemed to be happy to see Huang Shaotian take advantage of them. They didn't fight and just retreated.
If Team Two had someone who liked to trash talk, they would have long since taunted Team One. But the problem was that none of Team Two's five players liked to trash talk. Team One had a trash king, so the public chat was completely dominated by Team One.
Retreat retreat retreat. Team One kept retreating, while Team Two kept pressing forward.
Trash talk was a psychological attack. Sometimes, even the people involved didn't know if it had any effect. Team Two thought that they could remain calm when facing Huang Shaotian, but from an outsider's point of view, they were anxious to fight Team One. Huang Shaotian's trash talk actually played a part in catalyzing this.
Team Two kept pushing forward. Just as they were about to engage, Team One's five players suddenly scattered in all directions. Before Team Two could react, Team One's characters disappeared from their view.
The five of them almost habitually looked at the holographic projection through the small window of the competition stage.
"No!"
"No."
"No."
"Me neither."
"No … …"
The five of them exchanged messages and were immediately shocked. Did the other side really hide in a blind spot that none of them could see?
"Hurry and retreat!" Zhang Xinjie immediately yelled. He had already realized that this was a set up by the other side. They seemed to have intentionally lured them here. Could it be that this scene … …
As Zhang Xinjie and the others retreated, they carefully observed the terrain they were currently in through the holographic projection. They observed the blind spots that they might not be able to see.
"Everyone, keep your distance!" Zhang Xinjie quickly reminded them again. He discovered that in this area, there were too many blind spots that the other side could use to ambush them.
At this moment, the first attack of the match officially began.
With a whoosh, the five members of Team Two nimbly took a step to the side, and a laser beam cut their formation in half on the spot.
"Hahaha, we can finally make a move!" Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain had a word bubble above his head. He jumped out from an unknown corner and used a Falling Light Blade to directly step into the five's formation.
