The individual competition had finished, and Happy had unexpectedly won all three points . This was a surprising result . But after thinking about it carefully, Happy's three All-Stars had went on stage in the individual competition, so winning all three rounds wasn't too crazy . But then again, none of players Tyranny sent up for the individual competition were weak either . Lin Jingyan and Zhang Jiale were both top All-Star players .
But Lin Jingyan just ran around in a circle and then flashed before dying, while Zhang Jiale straight up suffered a crushing defeat . It was actually their new rookie Song Qiying who performed well facing the master of playing dirty, Fang Rui . In that match, it wouldn't have been a surprise if Song Qiying had won in the end .
Not earning a single point was a somewhat disheartening outcome for the Tyranny fans . They could already imagine how the media would talk about Tyranny, especially Lin Jingyan and Zhang Jiale . There would probably be a few irresponsible people that would grab at the opportunity to question if they were too old to play . Those guys would definitely ignore the fact that Ye Xiu, the person who beat Zhang Jiale, was also an old veteran .
After a short break from the individual competition, the group arena was about to begin . Because of Tang Rou's promise, the group arena was viewed with even more interest . From the ongoing discussion, this promise had attracted even more attention towards Tang Rou, but it had also damaged her image . Even just a casual remark claiming a 1v3 within five rounds was already too arrogant and egotistical, and putting her professional career on the line only made her claim even more irresponsible . Glory wasn't played alone . Tang Rou also had a team around her . Everyone could see that the team valued her quite a lot, so even many Happy fans could not agree with her reckless promise .
In any case, what's done was done . In the group arena, Tang Rou would be the first to go up . The other two would be Mo Fan and Steamed Bun .
It was an assembly of rookies . As for Team Tyranny, their first player would be the helper to the Four Heavenly Kings in the team competition, Qin Muyun, and his Sharpshooter Negative Nine Degrees . Their second player would be Bai Yanfei and his Elementalist Rota . Their final player was their one and only captain during Tyranny's ten years of history, Han Wenqing .
If Tang Rou wanted to 1v3, she would need to be beat these three opponents consecutively .
Many people didn't know what type of attitude they should be watching this match with .
If she really did complete a 1v3, it would be proof that her arrogance and ego were not unfounded . That would be truly displeasing .
If she failed to complete a 1v3 and left the pro scene, everyone would feel great, but Happy would have lost a dauntless general . Wouldn't that be bad?
This type of conflict made them feel annoyed at Tang Rou's rash act .
The match was about to begin . Even though Tyranny's failure to earn a single point in the individual competition disheartened their fans, they still cheered them on for the group arena . As for Happy? They had a huge lead, but seeing Tang Rou go on stage, the atmosphere of the crowd turned cold . The cheers for her were sparse and soft .
Chen Guo was very worried . She discovered that this event would greatly damage Tang Rou's image, even if she did succeed with a 1v3 . Compared to how the crowd exploded when she completed a 1v2 in the second round, the crowd this time had become ice cold .
"Why did things have to turn out this way…" Chen Guo sighed . If she could go back to that day, she would have done everything she could to stop Tang Rou from going out to the press conference .
The countdown ticked . Five seconds later, the group arena began .
Despite receiving such criticism, Tang Rou's style hadn't changed . As soon as the match started, her character decisively charged towards the center .
Shouldn't we give her some applause? The crowd hesitated . They hesitated the entire time . On the other hand, Tyranny's fan group became more and more excited as the match progressed until they seized control of Happy's home stadium .
This time, the unwavering support from Tyranny's fans didn't disappoint . Tang Rou, with a 1v3 as her goal, lost in the very first round of the group arena .
The Tyranny fans were overjoyed . They obviously sent down merciless boos towards her . There were even many neutral spectators and a portion of Happy's fans that booed along with Tyranny's fans .
Tang Rou came down from the stage amidst the boos and returned to her seat in silence .
"This Qin Muyun needs to be studied carefully," Ye Xiu said .
"Oh?" Tang Rou looked at him .
"Keep working hard!" Ye Xiu said .
Tang Rou nodded her head .
Next up was Mo Fan . His one round suspension had been lifted; he and his Deception could come onto the stage again .
Happy's fans suddenly started livening up . Their treatment towards him was the complete opposite of their treatment towards Tang Rou . Tang Rou had originally been Happy's most popular player outside of Happy's Gods . . .
Chen Guo felt uncomfortable . She glanced at Tang Rou and saw her with her head up . Tang Rou's eyes were staring at the highlight replay of her fight with Qin Muyun . It wasn't until the scene shifted to the upcoming match did Tang Rou's gaze return to the stage .
Qin Muyun, who had beat Tang Rou, didn't have that much health left . His Negative Nine Degrees only had 11% health left, nearly at red blood .
Despite facing such a frail opponent, Mo Fan didn't rush over . He moved strategically as always . Qin Muyun also moved strategically . As a result, at the center of the map, neither of them directly appeared . They were all hiding, carefully observing their surroundings .
On the screen, the camera views of both players could be seen, letting the audience know which direction the two were looking at .
From Mo Fan's view, he had already locked onto the location of Qin Muyun's Negative Nine Degrees . Afterwards, he slowly started moving .
He's circling to his back . . .
Much of the crowd felt quite annoyed . The guy only had 11% health left, yet you still feel the need to sneak to his back? Just charge at him, bring him out, chase him, and kill him .
The opinions of the viewers clearly weren't being sent to Mo Fan's mind . Even if they were, it would be a question of whether or not he would accept their opinions .
Mo Fan was outstanding at sneaking behind someone . He quickly traversed in a circle towards Negative Nine Degrees' previous location . Yes, previous . While he was moving, Negative Nine Degrees had already moved, but Mo Fan didn't know .
It hadn't been easy for Deception to find his target, but by the time he got there, his target was nowhere to be found .
He had moved according to his predictions . In reality, he wasn't certain of his opponent's location either . Not finding his target either meant that his prediction had been wrong or his opponent had moved . Mo Fan didn't know which one was correct .
Just when he was thinking about what to do next, a sneak attack came from behind Deception .
Qin Muyun had moved away, but he hadn't gone too far . An important reason for why he picked his new spot was that he could see his previous spot .
His choice wasn't wasted . While Mo Fan was thinking that he had ran around for nothing, Mo Fan didn't know that he had already fallen into Qin Muyun's trap .
Through the scope of his gun, Deception's head was magnified extremely large!
Snipe! Headshot! Double damage . The powerful impact of the snipe pushed Deception's body askew . Negative Nine Degrees rushed out and immediately started attacking fiercely . Deception was suddenly enveloped in a rain of bullets . The Sharpshooter's attacks weren't as fierce as Launcher's, and their skills weren't as handy as Spitfire skills . In reality, most of their skills were simply normal attacks with buffs .
The number of bullets produced from Rapid-Fire, Dual Shot, Scatter-Shot, and other Sharpshooter skills were definitely the champions among other Gunner classes though .
Deception was in a tough spot . This time, Mo Fan didn't employ his favored strategy of running away and then searching for another opportunity later . Instead, he had Deception directly attempt a counterattack .
However, to counterattack, the first step had to be to break through Negative Nine Degrees' bullet rain .
Shadow Clone Technique? Smoke Bomb? Substitution Technique?
When an opportunity arrived, Mo Fan used his escape skills . However, to his surprise, he was still unable to escape . Negative Nine Degrees' attacks were always able to instantly shift to where ever he had just escaped to in pursuit .
"He's being suppressed that hard?" Fang Rui was astonished . Tyranny's old generals hadn't performed well today, but their rookies were giving a frightening show .
"His positioning is extremely good," Su Mucheng said . She was a Launcher and proficient at a support playstyle like Screen Cannon . With just one glance, she could see the key to Qin Muyun's complete suppression towards Mo Fan .
Negative Nine Degrees' position allowed him to cover all of Deception's options, including the possibilities from Deception's various Ninja skills . He wasn't just standing there either . Whenever Deception moved, he would always adjust according to the situation, maintaining his positional advantage .
"He's a positioning expert!" Ye Xiu concluded .
Positioning experts were especially suitable for playing long-ranged classes . Long-ranged classes had attacks with wider coverage . When melee classes picked spots, what they could attack was only limited to the area immediately surrounding them . When long-ranged classes picked spots, the area that they could cover was on an entirely different level . Very few players were like Ye Xiu, who picked flat maps without any obstructions . In maps with obstructions, long-ranged players with poor positioning skill would find it difficult to bring out their class's full capabilities .
Qin Muyun was this type of expert though .
After watching Tang Rou's match and this current one, Ye Xiu could completely confirm it .
"Positioning… Mo Fan is quite good at that too, no?" Chen Guo said .
"Mo Fan is an expert at picking static locations . Qin Muyun is an expert at picking spots while moving . The two are completely different," Ye Xiu said .
"Then this match…"
"If you can identify the opposing player's possible movement options, you can make accurate predictions . No matter how great you are at positioning, there will always be dead angles . Thus, after making predictions, the rest is up to reacting to the opposing player . However, Qin Muyun adjusts his position extremely fast . Trying to escape one step at a time isn't likely . In order to escape, you need to complete it one go . And when you do, you have to be careful that your choice wasn't read by him or else he'll just start suppressing you again," Ye Xiu said .
"From what you're saying, this guy sounds invincible…" Chen Guo said .
"If you have Mo Fan compete against him in positioning, then yes, he's practically invincible," Ye Xiu said .
"Then what should he do?" Chen Guo said .
"Find a way to restrict or interfere with his positioning," Ye Xiu said .
