Hu Die Lan

Chapter 823 Joke About Map Selection

The water never calmed down after that.

Wind-aided attacks chased after Leopold's fall into the water without pause. Water has some influence on characters and skills. Pro players practice water combat to familiarize themselves with this influence.

The Wuji warlock player had hoped that the fall into the water would be an opportunity for him to use his knowledge in this area to escape the opponent's entanglement. But soon he discovered that his opponent's grasp of this area was no worse than his, no... it should be said, even more seasoned.

Thus, falling into the water became detrimental to Wuji. His character wasn’t moving quickly, so how long would it take to escape Wind-Aided Formation’s attack range?

In the second round, the Wuji team's Sharpshooter player attempted to find One Inch Ash and directly suppress him in the water. His plan failed because he was ambushed by One Inch Ash's ghost array midway. But in this round, it reappeared from Wei Chen's hands.

Wuji team's Leopold never had the chance to stand on the corridor again. He was suppressed in the water by Wind-Aided Formation. When he finally floated completely to the surface, he was already a corpse...

In the third round, Happy won again.

Needless to say, the onlookers were left speechless. After Wuji team lost this round, the shock they received was not small.

This round was lost even more directly than the second round.

In the previous round, it could be said that the Sharpshooter accidentally fell into the opponent's ambush. But in this round, the two warlocks were in a complete head-on confrontation. Happy demonstrated the operator's experience and the character's equipment advantage.

Because Leopold never got close enough to check Wind-Aided Formation's equipment, the Wuji team still didn’t know what Wind-Aided Formation was equipped with.

However, just from the fact that the casting distance was at least three character spaces longer, it was known that Wind-Aided Formation's equipment was superior to Leopold's to some extent. If Wuji had equipment that could enhance this attribute, they would have equipped it on Leopold long ago. But they didn't have it.

They didn't have it, but Happy did. This was the so-called equipment advantage.

The map advantage was destroyed in the second round.

The character advantage they had expected was also met with a head-on blow in the third round. However, this mainly showed that Wind-Aided Formation's casting distance was terrifying. The Wuji team had not yet clearly realized Wind-Aided Formation's truly huge advantage.

Wind-Aided Formation's 4920 skill points would be enough to scare people in the pro circle. However, in Happy team, it was just a low number, so low that Wei Chen was hesitating whether to create a new account.

"Everyone, don't be so discouraged!" On the Wuji team's side, someone spoke, breaking the silence in the training room. It was He An, their team leader, and also a member of their team.

Wu Chen is indeed the current captain of the Wuji team, but there is also He An in the current Wuji team. His identity as a leader surpasses that of the team captain. In the Glory circle, the leader is an old term, now changed to club manager, which is a position with real decision-making power over the team. The captain, in fact, only has the right to advise. However, many teams attach great importance to the captain's advice, so the captain's right to advise and decision-making power seem the same. In fact, there is still a difference between the two. If the manager really doesn't listen to the captain's advice, it is completely in accordance with the rules.

The fact that there is such a person in the Wuji team makes Wu Chen's identity as captain somewhat awkward. His say in the team is also very limited. So at this time, before Wu Chen, the captain, even spoke, He An was already comforting everyone in the capacity of a leader. This was obviously due to his dual identity.

"The situation is just a little beyond our expectations. These small characters can only hide and tuck away, and then come up with this kind of surprise attack on the field." He An said this, but in fact, Happy had brought him quite a bit of surprise. However, at this time, he couldn't exaggerate the surprise Happy had brought them, so he could only describe this surprise as a kind of petty trick to relax the players.

He An's words did have some effect. The Wuji team's players changed their expressions after hearing this. Next was the team arena round. There was a short break between the individual competition and the team arena, but the lineups had been set in advance and could not be changed. At this time, the people preparing to play on both sides were already eager to try.

In the audience seats, the onlookers really didn't know what to say at this time. The Wuji team, which they had full of expectations for, had actually lost two rounds in the individual competition, which made them really want to scold the Wuji team. However, it was only the individual competition. Next, there was the team arena, and the team competition. Let's watch a little longer...

The arrogant face-slapping onlookers were silenced by Happy's two victories. The public channel looked much more normal at this time. Some were true fans of the Wuji team cheering for their supported team.

The team arena finally began, and the first players from both sides had already stood on the stage.

Happy team, Battle Mage, Soft Mist.

Wuji team, Qi Master, Sky Rage.

Soft Mist was definitely the most popular character on Happy's side during this period, and the one most hated by the face-slapping party. Many experts they had looked forward to fell under Soft Mist's spear. It was hard to come across someone who could defeat Soft Mist, but she quickly won it back. This back-and-forth situation made it impossible for them to bring it up.

But now, in the Challenger League, there are rules. As long as they lose this game, they don't need to care whether Soft Mist has a chance to win back, because she definitely has no chance now. Everyone can comment on her based on this one game.

At the thought of this, the silent face-slapping party became a little excited again. Little by little, various voices began to emerge, all cheering for Wuji team's Sky Rage. For a time, Sky Rage seemed like a star player, actually making all the audience full of expectations.

Entering the competition seats, loading the competition venue. When the map for the team arena was announced, even the audience fainted.

The map was still Riverside Waterway...

The face-slapping party had a hard time holding back from complaining, after all, in order to slap Happy team, Wuji was the side they were supporting now. But don't forget, not everyone was single-mindedly looking forward to seeing Happy's jokes. Among the audience who came, there were also a small number of neutral parties who were watching the fun, and even those who looked forward to Happy continuing to go on. Although there were not many of these people, how could they not say a few words when they saw that the Wuji team chose Riverside Waterway again and again?

The sarcastic words were naturally embarrassing for the people of the Wuji team to see. There was nothing wrong with their original intention, because the players and characters in the team arena and individual competition cannot be repeated, so the Wuji team wanted to use this map to the end. Although this kind of map selection seemed a bit utilitarian, they didn't dare to be careless in the face of the Challenger League.

It's a pity that even if they chose this map, Wuji still lost two consecutive matches in the individual competition, and in both matches, the Wuji players suffered from the map to varying degrees. Now the Wuji team's choice of this map is a bit like a joke. The audience's ridicule seemed even more ruthless. But there was no way, the Wuji team didn't expect this kind of situation, and it was too late to change it now.

Fortunately, this ridicule did not affect the participating characters who had already entered the competition seats. From the time they entered the arena, the participating characters could not see the audience chat channel, and the characters' private chats would also be banned at this time. This setting was to prevent external assistance that should not be there after the game started. Because the audience has a God's-eye view.

However, in the Challenger League's current unregulated online competition system, it is impossible to know whether someone is passing messages offline. Anyway, even malicious phenomena such as account boosting cannot be prevented, so the alliance ignores this kind of thing even more. Anyway, the rules have been laid out, and everyone consciously abides by them. If you really don't abide by them and are discovered, you will definitely be unlucky. And if you haven't been discovered and have been using this method to go on, you will eventually show your timidity in the offline competition, so it won't have too much impact on the final result.

The alliance has no choice. Under the current conditions, they can only turn a blind eye at this primary stage.

In this regard, the Happy members are quite conscious. In the first game, when Steamed Bun couldn't figure out the way, no one went up to give him a hint. In the face of victory or defeat, everyone still followed the spirit of fair competition. This is sportsmanship.

The team arena finally officially began with the countdown of three, two, one.

Soft Mist had played too much in the previous matches, so the onlookers were very familiar with this character, so familiar that they completely understood every inch of the equipment on her.

But when Soft Mist appeared at this time, the audience suddenly found that they couldn't recognize who this was.

Is this still that Soft Mist?

The equipment has undergone a major transformation from head to toe!

The audience had noticed this change from Steamed Bun Invasion and Wind-Aided Formation, but their impression of these two characters was still somewhat hazy, far less clear and profound than their impression of Soft Mist. Now that Soft Mist appeared, everyone immediately noticed that she was different from before.

The Wuji team was the one that researched their opponents, so they wouldn't just rely on familiarity to judge like the audience. Steamed Bun Invasion's equipment was different from before, and Wind-Aided Formation was also different. They could see this when they saw the opponent's characters. However, Wind-Aided Formation's victory made them realize that this difference might be even more terrifying than they imagined.

Although He An said that this was the other side's speculative means, when he saw that Soft Mist was also so refreshed, the Wuji team's players couldn't help but feel uneasy again.

Could it be that Soft Mist's equipment is also particularly powerful all of a sudden?
