Glory of tactics

Samsara played at home, and in the first round against Tiny Herb, they won a small victory each in the arena and team matches.

How big of an advantage is there in the first round with a two-head lead? Even for the winning cycle, this is a completely new problem.

The few games that have been played under this format have either been a one-sided crushing, or a draw with close strength.

They were only ahead by one head each in the first and second half. It's hard to tell whether this was the advantage brought by the home map selection, or whether it was their true strength or superior performance.

"Individual matches and group matches are all simplified into a five-person arena, and four maps are reduced to one map. This severely reduces the home court advantage." Lin Jingyan analyzed.

"And in this competition system, I feel that psychological quality may be more important. If the teammate in front makes a serious mistake and falls behind significantly, the people behind him will easily collapse if they cannot withstand the pressure." Fang Rui added.

"Of course, it's also possible that if one of them hits the target smoothly and gets out of shape, he can kill anyone he sees." Qiu Fei added.

"Ha, let's hope that those who are defeated will meet those who are easy to defeat!" Fang Rui said with a smile.

Fang Rui just talked casually to liven up the atmosphere, but he didn't expect that this joke would actually become a reality the next day.

In the third game of the playoffs, Excellent Era faced the Thunder.

Due to the exchange and transfer at the end of last season, these two teams, which were originally unrelated, have become closer.

During Excellent Era's away games, a group of Thunder fans would sometimes appear to cheer together with Excellent Era's expeditionary force.

Liu Hao's popularity was not comparable to that of Xiao Shiqin, but the size of Excellent Era's fans was definitely not comparable to that of Thunderbolt. Not many people went to the scene to cheer Liu Hao, but on the forum, there were also many people typing on their keyboards to express their support.

A win-win transfer.

Throughout the season, Excellent Era and Thunder were in harmony, at least at the fan level. Of course, this is also related to the improved records of the two teams.

Excellent Era returned to the top of the standings, and the Thunder also firmly entered the playoffs. This is a welcome improvement for both teams, which failed to make the playoffs last year.

When the team performs well, the fans are happy and emotionally harmonious, which is what it should be.

However, this harmony came to an end this night.

Don't say that there is a big gap in the strength of the teams, and you will be satisfied if you make it to the playoffs. It is the common people's idea to make further progress and hope to reach Shu.

And even if there are only a small number of die-hard fans who expect the Thunder to win, the final result of the game will make most rational Thunder fans stand against Excellent Era.

11:4, just from the score, you can see the cruelty and despair of the Thunder's game. No Thunder fan who went to the Sports Center to watch the game would be willing to watch the video of this game again.

Arena match.

Xiao Shiqin was defeated by Liu Hao, while Li Rui defeated Liu Hao and was defeated by Fang Xuecai. Then Sun Xiang came on the stage and defeated Fang Xuecai, Cheng Tai and Dai Yanqi in a row, and finally had a small battle with Yu Feng.

Yu Feng had hoped to recover some losses in a one-on-one battle. However, Excellent Era's Wang Ze played very smart next, using kiting tactics, killing the mad swordsman and setting the score in the first half at 3:5.

As Fang Rui said, today's arena competitions have very high requirements for overall strength. It is difficult for a weak team to defeat a strong team, but if they just control the point difference to one head, it is still very possible to achieve it.

However, now that Excellent Era is two heads ahead, the Thunder side must be very dissatisfied. It's okay for the fans, after all, they don't have too high expectations, but the players can't help but have some psychological fluctuations.

It was obviously his home court, and he knew that the opponent's conductor Xiao Shiqin was very good at finding flaws, but Yu Feng, who was already a little impetuous, accidentally found himself in danger when he was surrounded by a bunch of mechanical creations.

And at the same moment,

Sun Xiang controlled One Autumn Leaf and broke into Thunder's back row with teleportation. With his own strength, he beat Dai Yanqi, He Ming and Di Lingfeng to the ground and defeated them!

At this critical moment, Liu Hao fell into the old habit of being indecisive again. At first he wanted to take over Yu Feng, but found that Yu Feng actually persisted. He turned around and tried to stop Sun Xiang, but he was entangled by two former younger brothers, Shen Jian and Wang Ze, and couldn't move anymore.

Sharp Wisdom Sword was besieged by Xiao Shiqin's mechanical creations and suffered a huge loss of health, but at least it managed to rush in front of the creature.

The Mechanic can be considered good in the gun department, but it is far behind compared to the red-eyed Mad Sword. The sharp and sharp sword slashed hard, smashing the stable gun mount of Life Extinguisher into pieces.

Xiao Shiqin's one-on-one skills were not inferior to Yu Feng's, but he had to take command at the same time, and the situation gradually became untenable. Seeing that his health was getting dangerously low, he drew out his Gatling gun and attacked his opponent while using the recoil gun to retreat.

Yu Feng, however, had already seen through Xiao Shiqin's plan, activated his Awakening Skill and fought with bloodthirsty, equipped himself with a Overlord Body, and was immune to the impact of the Gatling Gun. Then a soul-eating blood hand in the left hand grabbed the living being, and the heavy sword in the right hand used the furious blood wave, and slashed it down!

"Xiao Shiqin is in danger!"

"Yu Feng is in danger!"

The commentator Pang Bo and the guest Lin Cang actually shouted contradictory lines at the same time.

Who is in danger? The audience may still have questions, but the professional players watching can see it clearly.

Where the creature was originally standing, in addition to the flames caused by the explosion of the mechanical tracker, there was another small flame leaping there.

Life Extinguisher retreated, and the sharp sword moved forward, but it stepped on the white flame!

Holy fire!

The mad swordsman's body was completely drained of blood, and all his skills were terminated and could no longer be used.

At this time, the life-killing gun fired an armor-piercing cannon from the gunnery master.

Wang Ze, who was fighting with Liu Hao, suddenly pulled out and aimed a backhand at the back of Sharp Wisdom Sword's head with a Barrett sniper!

A headshot, a back attack, and defense reduction. This shot caused the mad swordsman, who still had at least one-third of his health, to fall to the ground and die miserably on the spot.

The broadcast camera specifically showed Yu Feng, who had donated his blood. He was livid and stared at the screen with an angry expression on his face, showing an unacceptable expression.

"This long-planned ambush may have a psychological impact on Yu Feng." Fang Rui commented.

"Don't gloat. Nine times out of ten, Excellent Era will qualify in the third group. If we beat Blue Rain, our opponent will be Excellent Era. Think about it, what should we do if we encounter this situation?" Lin Jingyan said.

Fang Rui immediately grimaced. If Xiao Shiqin's method could be easily broken, then he could claim to be a master tactician.

As soon as Yu Feng fell, Lei Ting was completely defeated and could not form an effective resistance at all. In the end, Fang Xuecai came on as a substitute, sneaked in and sacrificed his life to take away Shen Jian, and took a dispensable head.

Even if Su Mucheng is gone, Excellent Era led by Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin are still terrifyingly strong!
