After experiencing three losses, Canglan's popularity dropped severely . Many reporters weren't optimistic about them . Some reporters even speculated that their initial wins were because many teams didn't know much about the new team . Now the new team halo had passed and they lost three games . This showed that Canglan couldn't enter the playoffs .
Of course, there were reporters who firmly stood on the side of the Canglan team, writing detailed reports on the three losses . They were optimistic about the growth of the newcomers and insisted that Canglan would win the championship this season .
Regardless of the outside world's evaluation, Li Cangyu's attitude was as calm as usual . He rarely appeared in Weibo, showing an attitude of 'only playing the game without caring about the outside world . '
This time the match between Canglan and Cheetah was scheduled at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon . The number of spectators were higher in the afternoon and the audience rating of the broadcast was slightly higher at 80% .
The Cheetah team's leopard pattern uniform was very distinctive . Their logo was a vigorously running leopard and the whole team seemed imposing as they entered the soundproof room in their uniforms .
This was Canglan's home court and many fans were wearing the Canglan uniform to cheer for them . Li Cangyu waved to everyone before taking the players to the soundproof room .
In the commentators' room, Yu Bing compiled the information of the two teams and started with a simple introduction of the players . “Audience members, this is the sixth week of the seventh season . It it the Canglan team's home match against the Cheetah team . Let's look at the information of both sides . ”
The audience were very familiar with the eight people of Canglan but many faces in the Cheetah team were new .
Kou Hongyi enthusiastically introduced them . “Cheetah's captain Jiang Xu is 21 years old and a well-known elf hunter in the Miracle League . The vice-captain Chen Anran is a terran hunter and the winner of last year's Most Promising Rookie Award . He is only 16 years old and became the vice-captain this season . He is the youngest vice-captain in the league . ”
Yu Bing continued, “Xiao Chen is a very talented player . He is especially distinctive among the newcomers who joined the league in recent years . Becoming a vice-captain at the age of 16, this is also the first case in the history of the Miracle League . ”
“Yes, he is really young and promising . ” Kou Hongyi praised . “He isn't as sharp as some newcomers and his personality is more introverted . It is said that he is very shy and he hides behind his teammates when asked a question by reporters . ”
Yu Bing had seen the scene of Chen Anran shrinking back to avoid the reporters and couldn't help smiling a bit . “Well, he is young and probably isn't used to being surrounded by reporters . ”
“For the rest of the eight Cheetah players, there is a necessary front row paladin and back row healer . The remaining six players are four hunters, one assassin and one swordsman . ” Kou Hongyi turned the topic back to the lineup of the team . “This team is dominated by hunters and uses the trap flow system that the rest of the league teams can't replicate . ”
Yu Bing nodded . “The trap flow requires a suitable map and isn't stable enough . Therefore, the Cheetah team's winning rate at home is high . It is over 70% . However, the winning rate at away matches is less than 30% . ”
“It is because the captains of other teams will make targeted arrangements against Cheetah . For example, if there isn't a suitable map then it will be hard for the Cheetah team's hunters to win against the explosive combination of swordsmen and magicians . ” Kou Hongyi glanced at the game data and said, “Last week, Cheetah won 2:1 against Red Fox at home . This week I think the Cheetah team's winning percentage isn't large . After all, Cat God can choose three arena games or select a difficult map . Sister Bing, what do you think?”
Yu Bing calmly answered, “It isn't necessarily the case . I can't guess Cat God's tactical thinking . ”
***
In the soundproof room, both teams quickly debugged their equipment . After the referee gave the signal, Li Cangyu submitted the mode for today's match .
Three team battles?
The audience's eyes widened with surprise and even Yu Bing was speechless .
Everyone knew that Cheetah was strong in team battles . Once the four hunters joined forces, they would set down many traps . They would often send three hunters plus an assassin or swordsman and use the hunter's traps to fight the opponent . Then the assassin/swordsman would finish off the harvest .
Canglan's chances of winning in the arena were very high . There was the Shu Bai combination and Cat God and his apprentice combination . There was no need to be afraid of double hunters . Why did Li Cangyu choose three team battles?
Many people on Weibo wrote: [Cat God, why do you want do die? What are you thinking?] [Does Cat God want the achievement of four continuous losses?] [Cat God's mind isn't something that stupid humans can understand…]
The comments exploded when Li Cangyu submitted the lineup for the first team battle .
Gu Siming, Xiao Han, Xie Shurong, Bai Xuan, Zhuo Hang and Zhang Jueming .
Li Xiaojiang not playing was in line with everyone's expectations but Li Cangyu wasn't playing . This made many viewers who came to watch the game disappointed . The professional players watching on TV couldn't help feeling admiration . Cat God was giving an opportunity to Old Zhang!
After submitting the list, Li Cangyu walked calmly back to his seat . The Cheetah team submitted the classic trap flow lineup of a paladin, a healer and four hunters .
Now it was up to his teammates . Li Cangyu believed that after this week's devil training, Zhuo Hang and Zhang Jueming could impress everyone!
***
The command of the game was given to Zhang Jueming . After the six players sat down, the indicator light turned on at Zhang Jueming's seat . The referee opened the command channel and Zhang Jueming skillfully moved the mouse to select a map .
The map he chose was the Beast Tribe .
It was obvious by the name but this was the land of beasts . In Miracle, the beast race always lived in ancient forests . The forests were full of dense and towering trees with various animals in the forest . The Beast Tribe map had dense trees and dim lighting .
This map wasn't high in difficulty compared to the kill map of Endless Sea or the deceleration map of Ice Valley . There was no map effect and it could be regarded as a conventional mountain forest map . However, the dense trees was the highest among all mountain forest maps .
Yu Bing summed it up in one sentence . “This is the Cheetah team's most commonly used map . ”
There was no expression on her face but she was clearly shocked by Cat God's decisions .
It was a home match but he chose the other team's favourite map!
Kou Hongyi was silent for a moment before he touched his nose . “Canglan actually chose the map that the Cheetah team loves the most . I really can't understand this decision . Is it to train the newcomers? Is there a need to fight like this? If they lost another game then the playoffs will be in danger . Canglan's current ranking is worrying . ”
Yu Bing was also silent for a moment until the two teams refreshed on the map . “Let's pay attention to the performance of both sides . Perhaps there is a special intention behind choosing the Beast Tribe map?”
Li Cangyu sat under the stage and smiled . This smile made many audience members guess that Cat God had a special trick .
Ling Xuefeng frowned slightly in front of the TV . This extreme practice was truly bloody . He guessed that Li Cangyu wanted to test Zhuo Hang and deliberately chose a map that was beneficial to the opponents .
However, Ling Xuefeng believed that Li Cangyu wouldn't be bold enough to choose Beast Tribe three times . The audience guessed wrong . The first game was just an appetizer while the true focus would be the last two games!
