Yanyu's team lineup this season is quite special. Their starting five-player combination consists of an Elementalist, a Ninja, two Sharpshooters, and a Cleric.
Glory has developed to this point, and there are already many scientific and systematic understandings. In the earliest days, there were even lineups like the Five Swordsmen, but they quickly disappeared. According to the current understanding of Glory knowledge, a reasonable team lineup should have one melee, one ranged, and one healer, and then build two more classes on this basis.
However, Yanyu's lineup doesn't have a pure melee presence. Whether it's the Sharpshooter with some physical skills or the Ninja who can fight at close or long range, they are not considered true melee classes. But this unconventional lineup is precisely Yanyu's main lineup this season, and their tactical coordination is really operating with this lineup.
Based on data alone, Yanyu's lineup doesn't seem reliable. In matches against strong teams, their team has never won, and they have even lost to Team 301, a team that doesn't seem as strong as them, on their home court.
However, none of those who have faced Yanyu, even the winning teams, have dismissed Yanyu's innovative tactics. The most convincing of these, of course, is Zhang Xinjie, the tactical master of Team Tyranny. In the match where Tyranny won 6-4 against Yanyu at home, Tyranny lost more in the individual competition and the擂台赛 (lĕitái sài, arena battle), but at the post-match press conference, Zhang Xinjie was more concerned with Yanyu's performance in the team competition.
"Very flexible, with strong changes."
This is Zhang Xinjie's evaluation of Yanyu's lineup and tactics, very simple, only seven words. However, this is from Zhang Xinjie's mouth. Everyone knows that Zhang Xinjie never says anything without basis. If he only believes something is nine points, he either won't say it, or if he does, he won't say it's ten points or eight points.
As a result, there was a lot of discussion about Yanyu's lineup and tactics.
Tactics are never a secret, because you always have to show them on the field, and everyone sees them. So all kinds of tactics are common to everyone, but some teams use them strongly, and some teams use them weakly, which is a matter of the team's execution.
After being discussed and analyzed, Yanyu's tactics are still relatively well-received. Then, the poor performance is naturally attributed to the team's execution. After all, this is a playstyle that Yanyu only started to fully implement this season, and they also need practice and coordination.
Each round of the league is a touchstone for Yanyu, but no team is willing to be their stepping stone, and Happy is certainly unwilling.
Happy also carefully discussed and studied Yanyu's playstyle during the preparation, and finally decided to arrange the current lineup to deal with them. Wei Chen, who made his debut in the team competition for the first time in the 12th round, is undoubtedly an important part of Happy's strategy to deal with Yanyu.
Sitting in the competition seat, Wei Chen was not calm. The current competition venue and the competition seat are very different from when he participated in the competition. Although he is an experienced veteran, in fact, he is somewhat unfamiliar with the current Glory competition. The chair under his butt made him feel a little uncomfortable, and the closed competition seat also made him feel a little stuffy.
I really want a cigarette... Wei Chen thought, but he glanced up at the competition seat and saw a clear no-smoking sign. Damn it, I won't smoke, can I just hold one in my mouth? Wei Chen thought angrily, and took a cigarette out of his pocket and put it in his mouth.
The countdown began. Five seconds later, the characters of both sides were neatly loaded into the map.
The map, Mud River Peninsula, is symmetrically divided into four parts, with relatively narrow connections. However, what separates the four parts is not insurmountable terrain, but rather several patches of mud, large and small, including a perfect circle in the center of the map. Characters can enter the mud, with no life damage, but the movement speed will be reduced by 70%. Obviously, this is also a restriction-type map. In addition to the mud, there are also many trees that can be used as cover. Obviously, this is a map that Happy specially selected to target Yanyu's lineup, which is mainly composed of long-range classes.
Happy refreshed in the northwest corner of the map, and the Yanyu team was naturally in the southeast corner.
Wei Chen took a deep breath and, according to the team tactics that had been formulated earlier, operated his Windward Formation to set off.
The five members of Team Happy eventually advanced in three routes. Tang Rou, Su Mucheng, and An Wenyi went together, moving forward from the front, while Ye Xiu and Wei Chen each took a route, detouring from the left and right.
The movement of the three in the middle was deliberately slowed down so that they could echo the two who were detouring on the left and right. The three parties constantly exchanged their coordinates with each other in the team channel, advancing.
The team battle map is naturally much larger than the single battle map, but not to the point where the two sides cannot meet for a long time. The middle three gradually saw the circular swamp in the middle of the map, but with their deliberately slowed-down movement speed, they did not see the Yanyu team, indicating that the other party did not cut directly into the middle.
The message was immediately relayed to Ye Xiu and Wei Chen on the left and right wings.
"Well, I know, it's on my side..." Wei Chen was just about to send a message!
Windward Formation was shrinking in the bushes on the side. The five characters of the Yanyu team were not scattered. They were concentrated here, preparing to forcibly step over the swamp and directly cut to the southwest area of the map. If they moved along the swamp coastline, they could counter-cut behind Happy.
But unfortunately, I've already discovered it.
Wei Chen was peeking while calculating with satisfaction what to do. At this time, if the entire Happy team was in formation, there was no doubt that launching a surprise attack while the Yanyu team was forcibly crossing the swamp would be an excellent choice, but with only himself...
Wei Chen hesitated.
Although his Windward Formation has an extraordinary casting distance, this is only relative to the magic class. The two Sharpshooters in the Yanyu formation have a natural range above the magic class. Even if Windward Formation relies on the attributes of Death's Hand to increase the casting distance, it has no advantage against these two Sharpshooters.
"Yanyu is forcibly crossing the swamp, do you think I should go up, or not..." Wei Chen, who was wavering, began to solicit the opinions of the masses.
"There are two Sharpshooters, can't suppress them!" Ye Xiu replied.
"Secretly drop a Death's Door next to them?" Wei Chen said.
"Windy Rain's spells will instantly blow you into slag," Ye Xiu said.
Secretly dropping a Death's Door, this concept only exists among players. Death's Door is such a big movement, and it also requires continuous control of the spell. Professional players will instantly determine the location of the Warlock.
"Then how do we break this?"
"We're ambushing at the Crescent Rock at the nine o'clock position. You go straight back the way you came and cut off their rear," Ye Xiu replied.
"They can probably... reach Crescent Rock in about a minute, provided they go directly in that direction," Wei Chen judged the Yanyu team's movement speed.
"Well, enough. Do you have any problems?" Ye Xiu said.
"I have fewer problems than anyone else," Wei Chen replied.
"Don't get there too early and feed yourself to them," Ye Xiu said.
"Hahaha, very funny." After Wei Chen replied, he didn't rush to move Windward Formation. He continued to squat quietly in the bushes, watching the five members of the Yanyu team slowly move across the swamp river and set foot on the southwest corner of the map.
"They've passed," Wei Chen sent a message. After that, Windward Formation finally retreated from the bushes.
Crescent Rock.
Located at the junction of the northwest and southwest of the map, Tang Rou's Soft Mist leaned on the outermost edge of the rock with her battle lance. She could launch an attack on any character that passed by with a single step. Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain jumped to a position three-quarters of the way up Crescent Rock. The next jump would allow her to reach the top, where she could form a fire suppression from a high position. An Wenyi's Little Cold Hands didn't need an attacking position. He just needed to find a position that was convenient for supporting the two characters.
"In position."
"In position."
"In position."
The three who had chosen their positions each sent a message to confirm.
Can they successfully ambush Yanyu?
Suspense is fully unfolding. The audience at the scene and in front of the TV are looking forward to that moment.
After the five members of the Yanyu team crossed the swamp river, their movement speed naturally recovered, and they advanced rapidly along the road. Soon, Crescent Rock appeared in their field of vision. Wei Chen's Windward Formation arrived in this area one step earlier and once again lurked in the roadside bushes, observing the Yanyu team's movements.
"They're here."
"The movement speed has slowed down. They should be wary of Crescent Rock."
"Changed direction, didn't go towards Crescent Rock."
"Damn, they're coming towards me."
"Then use yourself as bait to lead them into the ambush!" Ye Xiu said decisively.
"You're really black-hearted," Wei Chen cursed, but he also agreed with the decision. Windward Formation suddenly jumped out of the bushes.
Gunshots!
Who Doesn't Drop Head, Don't Dare To Turn Back!
The Sharpshooters of the Shu sisters, who had been changed to female characters through the back door, immediately opened fire on Windward Formation.
Windward Formation rolled and crawled, but it was a very flirtatious S-shaped walk.
Bang!
A gunshot that sounded extremely powerful.
Who Doesn't Drop Head directly held up the Barrett Sniper and gave Windward Formation a heavy shot in the rain of bullets from Don't Dare To Turn Back.
Windward Formation couldn't avoid this shot. His body exploded with a cloud of blood mist, and he flew forward along with the blood.
"That's really ruthless..." Wei Chen didn't forget to complain even after being shot.
"Keep up the good work," Ye Xiu encouraged him.
"Where the hell are you, you bastard?" Wei Chen asked. Ye Xiu wasn't among those who reported their positions earlier.
"Always ready to support you," Ye Xiu said.
Wei Chen turned his view to look. Yanyu had already started to speed up, as if they wouldn't stop until they killed him. The hail of bullets shot by the two Sharpshooters was a great test of Wei Chen's reaction. Windward Formation was hit by several bullets in an instant.
Damn it, if it was ten years ago...
Wei Chen's reaction and operation were indeed a little unable to keep up. He suddenly realized that he might not be able to complete this mission of using himself as bait.
"Support!" Wei Chen, who never showed off, immediately called for help.
Dancing Rain jumped onto the top of Crescent Rock in one step, hoisted the heavy cannon, and fired!
