Chapter 1357 Howling's New Tactics
He Ming had been playing this position in Excellent Era for many years, so his ability in this aspect was also extraordinary. Judging the situation and observing tactics were all part of his skill set. At this time, looking at Happy's lineup, which one should he attack?
The Cleric, Little Cold Hands? This had always been called Happy's weakness and loophole, so it was the main attack direction in many teams' team matches. But precisely because of this, Happy had a particularly strict protection plan for their weakness. Teams that tried to break through from here in the first half of the season would instead be led by the nose by Happy.
Turning the tables! Ye Xiu's usual technique. Among the four tactical masters, Ye Xiu was definitely the most worthy of being called cunning and experienced, whether in experience or his style. As the Glory Textbook, he could think from different perspectives and guess many possible attack plans of the opponent, thereby making targeted deployments. Therefore, for teams with him, it was best not to touch those particularly obvious loopholes without absolute confidence.
Team Miracle was a new team, not some powerhouse. He Ming certainly didn't have the confidence to challenge the traps that Ye Xiu might have set up. Little Cold Hands, give up.
What else?
Su Mucheng? As teammates, they were certainly very familiar with Su Mucheng, but Su Mucheng was a Launcher, a long-range class. If she used the screen-cover fire tactic, she would often be outside the main battlefield. Focusing on her as the attack point could cause the entire team to be kited and suffer heavy losses. This was not a suitable breakthrough point.
Again, Fang Rui, the master of dirty play, this… better forget it! He Ming thought. Such a tricky and cunning opponent was really not something their inexperienced new team could handle.
Then there was Tang Rou, an incomparably fierce Battle Mage. Even if her reputation was not good, no one dared to underestimate her combat power on the field. In the previous individual competition, Tang Rou, who was the first to play, almost defeated two members of Team Miracle. Although she had not yet become a god, her tenacity and fierceness completely enabled her to restrain her opponents on the field like a god-level player. Attacking Tang Rou, be careful of being stuck to her and unable to shake her off.
So, after looking around, Qiao Yifan was the easiest to break through among Happy's starting five. Moreover, his ghost array combo was quite threatening. Destroying him first would make the situation on the field very different.
"Let's go!" With limited time, He Ming simply adjusted the tactics and led the whole team onto the stage.
At the same time, another highly anticipated match, Team Howling against Team 301, had already entered the team competition stage earlier.
In the individual competition, the two teams finally tied at 4 to 1. Team Howling gained a good lead at home, only losing one point in the individual competition.
Then came the team competition.
Man-to-man marking!
Team Howling seemed to have tasted the sweetness of this tactic after defeating Blue Rain. For them, who didn't have any brilliant tactical system at the moment, dividing the opponent's team and turning the team competition into five one-on-one personal skill matches seemed to be a good choice.
Of course, the members of Team Howling were not naive enough to think that Team 301 wouldn't be prepared for their tactics in this round after they took the field. At the beginning of the match, Team Howling rarely didn't rush straight to the center of the field. This was extremely rare after Tang Hao joined and became the captain.
Team Howling, relying on the advantage of the home map, skillfully divided into two groups to observe the actions of Team 301 from both flanks first. After approaching Team 301, they saw that Team 301 was indeed prepared for the man-to-man marking tactics they had used against Blue Rain before. At this time, Team 301's team formation was much tighter than usual. Each player's character could basically get the support of two or more people. Rushing straight up like this would probably not be able to break apart the opponent's overall formation.
However, since they had guessed that their opponents might be prepared, Team Howling would of course have targeted arrangements. What Team Howling had worked hard to practice this week was how to break up the opponent's coordinated formation and tear them apart to fight one-on-one.
After observing Team 301's current formation, they quickly communicated in the team channel, and the characters of Team Howling immediately rushed out from both wings.
Rogue Tang San Da, Elementalist Shaoguang Huan, Spellblade An Wutian Ri, Qi Master Qi Chong Yun Shui, Thief Ghostly Shadow.
Five classes, no healer. Team Howling once again used this bold tactic.
Tang San Da, Tyrannical Chain Punch!
Tang Hao's Tang San Da was the first to pounce. This skill, if flipped over, was equivalent to being grabbed, a very strong control effect.
Qi Chong Yun Shui, Cloud Grasping Hand!
Guo Yang had finally ushered in a real opportunity in Team Howling this season, but the Qi Master character Qi Chong Yun Shui in his hand was a bit weak. Although this was the powerful Qi Master of the former Excellent Era, Excellent Era didn't have a Qi Master player in the Challenge League that year, so this character wasn't upgraded when Glory was updated. It wasn't until it was sold off at a low price to Team Howling that it began to upgrade its equipment, so it was inevitably a bit behind. But for Guo Yang, it was still a character he had been familiar with for many years, and it was much smoother than the one Team Howling provided him last season. Team Howling stumbled this season, but he played smoother and smoother, and finally secured the last spot on Team Howling's team. At this time, Team Howling's team competition main force had no old members except for Ruan Yongbin.
At this time, cooperating with Tang Hao, two Grappler classes, one went up to grab someone, and the other grabbed people from a distance.
Then Shaoguang Huan began chanting for area-of-effect attacks like Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire. Liu Hao's An Wutian Ri swept out waves of sword energy, rushing straight into Team 301's formation. Lin Feng's Ghostly Shadow was a combat Thief who didn't play the dirty style. At this time, he was also chasing fiercely and began to seize the opportunity to capture his target.
"Team Howling's cooperation is good!" Li Yibo called out during the commentary. With Team Howling's move, Team 301 was obviously a bit chaotic.
Tang San Da's aggressive intrusion had to be dodged.
Qi Chong Yun Shui and Shaoguang Huan's attacks had to be interrupted, but both of them were at long range.
The waves of sword energy that An Wutian Ri swept into their formation were cutting their formation.
Everything was happening in sync. It was definitely too late for command and response. At this time, they could only rely on the team's tacit understanding and the players' natural reactions.
However, Team 301's regretful point was also exposed at this time. Their team joined a new core in the winter transfer window, and their tactical play had undergone a major change. Although their results were outstanding, they couldn't change the fact that they were also undergoing a transformation and carrying out new training.
So in this situation where the whole team needed a high degree of tacit understanding and one hundred percent division of labor, they still made a mistake.
Qi Chong Yun Shui's Cloud Grasping Hand ultimately failed to interrupt, and the Knight Tide was torn out of the formation.
Tide was originally using his shield to block An Wutian Ri's wave of sword energy, protecting his own formation from being cut. As a result, he was dragged away, and An Wutian Ri's wave of sword energy cut into the formation. The members of Team 301 dodged, and their formation was scattered. Lin Feng's combat Thief Ghostly Shadow took advantage of the situation and stunned Gao Jie's Star Sword with a sap. Although Tang San Da's Tyrannical Chain Punch was dodged, Tang San Da seized Team 301's Sun Mingjin's Guardian Angel Zero Zero Seven in the midst of the chaos and threw him out of the formation.
At this point, Team 301's formation was completely broken up. They tried to adjust quickly, but the shortcomings of the team's insufficient integration were repeatedly revealed at this time. In the blink of an eye, they had already shown signs of defeat.
Team Howling ultimately won the victory, which surprised many people. No one thought that Team 301, which had undergone a tactical transformation after the winter transfer window, would be defeated by Team Howling, which was regarded as a weak team.
"After Blue Rain, it's Team 301… If the first time was an unexpected advantage, but Team 301 this time was obviously prepared for Team Howling's tactics, but in the end, they still couldn't resist it. Team Howling's actions were fast and accurate, and they brought this man-to-man quick attack to the extreme. I think we can have some expectations for this team again. They seem to have found a way that suits them." Li Yibo commented after the match.
"But isn't this tactic a bit too monotonous?" Pan Lin said.
"One tactic can derive countless variations. I don't think Team Howling will stop there. They will definitely practice and improve their set of tactics further. Of course, it can't be ruled out that they have other tactics. In short, this set of tactics enriches Team Howling's tactics. In the future, any team facing Team Howling will inevitably have defenses in this regard and will inevitably have practice in this regard. This is already a constraint on the opponent itself." Li Yibo talked eloquently.
"You said it so well. The match between Team Howling and Team 301 ends here. This match was really fast. Currently, the other 10 rounds of matches are still in the team competition stage!" This round of broadcasting ended unexpectedly quickly. The TV station estimated that the time arrangement would have to be adjusted later. After the match, the broadcast continued, and Pan Lin and Li Yibo turned the match broadcast into a talk show again.
"Well, we can also take a look at the match information of other matches here!" Li Yibo said.
"Oh!" Pan Lin exclaimed as soon as he glanced at it. "In the match between Happy and Team Miracle, Ye Xiu didn't play in the team competition!"
"Oh? What's going on? I haven't heard anything about it beforehand. Is he injured or what? Did he play in the individual competition?" Li Yibo asked quickly.
"He played in the individual competition and continued his winning streak." Pan Lin looked at the information of this match. "Oh, Luo Ji, this player from Happy played in this round."
Li Yibo was stunned for a moment and then said, "Letting new players on the field to gain experience, and the team competition core Ye Xiu doesn't play… Is Happy thinking that they have already secured a place in the playoffs and are starting to treat the following matches as garbage time for a big training session?"
