White Phoenix swept Yangji with a score of 2: 0!
To be honest, even the four members of White Phoenix didn't expect this result.
When they were fighting against the fifth ranked Team Dominating Heavens, the White Phoenix team had already felt the substantial pressure coming from the veteran team. Even Bai Xiaowen had been insta-killed once!
Hua Xia's A-League was a world-class competition. This was thanks to Hua Xia's stable environment that was suitable for awakened ones to grow, as well as its huge population. Of course, the ancient Hua Xia was often more difficult, and the rewards were generous. This was also an important reason.
Internationally, the only competition that could compete with Hua Xia's A-League was America's A-League (AAA).
Of course, other European countries, even Australia and the United States had strong teams, but the competition wasn't as fierce as Hua Xia's A-League and America's A-League.
Yangji was ranked fourth in Hua Xia. In the Super Cup's official evaluation of the strength of the global teams, Yangji was ranked 19th. In the past three years, they hadn't fallen out of the top 30! They were definitely a world-class team. Even if they won the championship, people wouldn't be too surprised.
They were already ranked very high in the world. There were two to three hundred teams in the world that were related to the Super Cup (including the teams in the bubble competition). In the end, only 64 teams entered the main competition.
Based on the global rankings, Yangji could definitely get a spot in the Super Cup without having to play the bubble competition.
However, the Super Cup's original intention was for strong teams from all over the world to compete for team honor and national honor. All the major divisions had to participate.
Every "participating country" of the Super Cup had two seeded spots.
In the previous season, teams that had entered the top eight of the Super Cup would be able to obtain an extra spot in the bubble competition. In total, there would be three spots.
Regardless of the overall strength of the division, these spots were fixed. There wouldn't be more, and there wouldn't be less.
It could be said that it wasn't shameful to lose a match against Yangji, who was ranked 19th in the world. Being able to complete the breakthrough with a score of 2: 1 was already achieved. White Phoenix still hadn't gotten their own global ranking.
Of course, a score of 2: 0 was more satisfying than a score of 2: 1.
This could also shut the mouths of a large group of Team Yangji's fans and Team White Phoenix's haters.
If the White Phoenix team did not make a good start in the Super Cup, they would not be gossiped about by others. For example, "White Phoenix beat Yangji by luck," "White Phoenix owes Yangji a championship," and so on.
After the match, Bai Xiaowen did not accept any interviews. Instead, he returned to Jinghai.
Together with his teammates, he reviewed the current round of the competition to see if there was anything worth improving and to accumulate more experience in the top league.
A week later, the White Phoenix Battle Team once again submitted a challenge to the third place, the Destiny Battle Team.
There was a small accident in this battle, and the White Phoenix team lost the first match.
That's right, in the first match, Team Destiny did not ban the Resource Plunder Mode, but the Crystal Destruction Mode.
Coincidentally, the first battle was the Resource Plunder mode.
The Destiny team had obviously come prepared. When they were choosing sides, they had set the Stable as their first target. At the same time, they had even used an S rank item: Army Strategy!
With the Army Strategy and the Stable's speed boost, the Destiny Battle Team surpassed the White Phoenix team in terms of normal support speed. Moreover, when they were sprinting at full speed, they were much faster than the Mount Wolf.
In addition, the Destiny Battle Team's scouting ability was very strong. They were able to lock onto the White Phoenix team's position before they split up. The combination of the two was even more deadly.
After seizing the Stable at the beginning of the match, the Destiny Battle Team used a very common A rank item — a scroll that increased the priority of invisibility. The whole team quietly moved to the middle lane, tricking the three-man team that the White Phoenix team had sent to the Gold Mine. They successfully took two heads. Only Cecilia escaped with the speed of the White Jade Jing.
The movement speed of both sides was very fast. The pace of this match was very tight.
After the Destiny Battle Team obtained a temporary advantage in numbers, they immediately displayed the experience of a veteran team. They quickly split up and expanded their advantage. At one point, they occupied four resource points on the map, including the Gold Mine.
Bai Xiaowen could only command his teammates to retreat temporarily. At the same time, he used guerilla warfare to at least ensure the ownership of one resource point. He constantly harassed the other resource points and then farmed wild monsters to prevent the gap in resources from becoming too large.
After Han Xu and Qiao Rui revived, the White Phoenix team began their counterattack. They started from the flanks and tried to seize the Research Facility.
However, the Destiny Battle Team relied on the offensive and defensive BUFF of the Foundry to defend the Research Facility. The two sides fought a moderately intense team battle. The result was a two for one trade. Cecilia and Han Xu died.
Bai Xiaowen also lost a third of his summoned creatures. He had no choice but to retreat.
They had no choice but to retreat. The Destiny Battle Team's control of the Research Facility was about to exceed 10 minutes. Soon, they would get their first free war item from the Research Facility. If they continued to fight, the White Phoenix team's losses would be even greater.
The current headcount ratio was 1: 4. The White Phoenix team was already at a disadvantage. This was because every time one of their members died, they needed more than 4 minutes to revive. The opponent only needed 1 minute! The opponent could trade lives without hesitation, but the White Phoenix team could not.
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen did not use any powerful items. Instead, he chose to retreat. He seized the gold mine on the way and interrupted the Destiny Battle Team's rhythm.
However, the Destiny Battle Team had many advantages such as speed, scouting, the Foundry's BUFF, headcount ratio, and so on. After holding the war item from the Research Facility, the Destiny Battle Team's advantage was quite large. They immediately caught up and recaptured the gold mine. Their resource plundering speed was still much faster than the White Phoenix team.
In the end, the White Phoenix team was powerless to reverse the situation. They ushered in their first defeat in the Super Cup Bubble Competition. It was also the first defeat since the team's establishment.
In fact, in terms of strength, the Destiny Battle Team was not stronger than the Yangji Battle Team.
However, the opponent was well-prepared. They were more willing to invest than the White Phoenix team.
"It's my fault. We also have a marching strategy. If we had used it from the start, at least we would not have been at a disadvantage in terms of speed. In addition, we were too careless when we split into 131 at the beginning. "Bai Xiaowen took the initiative to take the blame.
"To be honest, we did not pay enough attention to this round of the competition." Qiao Rui nodded and continued the conversation. "This is the last round of the Bubble Competition. The winner will get the ticket to the Super Cup! The fact that the Destiny Battle Team used an S-grade item at the beginning of the competition proves that they are determined to win. "
After a pause, Qiao Rui said again, "We can't push all the blame for this small defeat to the captain. After I saw the resource plundering mode, I was a bit careless. The early 131 split was very problematic. Facts have proven that although we have the advantage of the Wolf Valley Awakening Technique, in this mode, we are not guaranteed to win. "
Qiao Rui's words were reasonable.
It was not only Qiao Rui who underestimated the opponent. The other two beautiful members of the White Phoenix team, after four consecutive clean 2-0 victories, had a subconscious feeling of underestimating the opponent. They always felt that the Super Cup Bubble Competition was just like that. This was also one of the reasons why they were tricked.
This feeling of underestimating the opponent was not something that could be dispelled with a few words. Only by losing could the team regain their senses.
Qiao Rui even wondered if Bai Xiaowen had seen the signs of underestimating the opponent in the team, so he did not use his full strength and deliberately let the team lose.
However, this thought was too shocking, so she did not ask.
In any case, after this defeat, the three beautiful members of the White Phoenix team did not have the mentality of underestimating the opponent.
As for Bai Xiaowen, he had always been very clear-headed. It was also he who constantly emphasized in the team that a strong team in the League One could not be underestimated.
Han Xu was in a different situation. As the only elite in the team, he felt that he was just hanging on to the thighs of the other four and did not have the qualifications to underestimate the opponent. There was already a voice on the Internet saying that the tank position of the White Phoenix team could win even with a dog tied to it.
Of course, Han Xu's personality was also inclined towards the steady type. He would not be reckless easily, even if he was given an opportunity.
