Chapter 1273 Zero Tolerance

The away victory finally made everyone realize the stability of Team Samsara.

This was a team that had worked together for three years. They supported each other and relied on each other. There was a deep understanding and trust between the team members. They had a common belief and the same confidence. The loss in the home game did not make them lose confidence. In the second round of the away game, they worked together and steadily fought their way to victory, without any anxiety due to the loss in the first round. After two hours of full-court play, they finally defeated Team Tyranny.

In this battle, Team Samsara showed the tenacity and patience that was not inferior to that of the veterans. Every detail, whether individual or overall, was done to the extreme.

A flawless performance, a perfect victory.

The next day, the media headlines praised Team Samsara's performance in this round. This time, they let everyone see that Team Samsara was definitely not a one-man team. They were a whole, and a very well-operated whole. The amplification of this overall strength was, undeniably, also affected by the previous game.

Zhang Jiale's Hundred Blossoms style of play from Team Tyranny was very effective in interfering with and restricting Zhou Zekai. He could not shoot accurately from a distance, and Han Wenqing was a close-quarters combat expert. The so-called unbeatable Zhou Zekai, although not defeated head-on, was ultimately restrained.

Team Samsara realized this problem, so the overall operation was strengthened in the second round. The presence of the rest of the team suddenly became strong. In this game, Zhou Zekai rarely had an explosive performance, but people saw Team Samsara's team strength that was not inferior to any team in the league.

After two rounds of battle, the two teams tied. The victory or defeat would be decided in the final game. Three days later, Team Tyranny's home field, random map.

Who would win?

At this point, paper analysis was meaningless. Both teams were constantly rewriting people's prior understanding of them, and were constantly evolving and breaking through themselves in the game. In the end, everything would be decided on the field.

Three days later, the final battle was hard to come by. The game started on time at eight o'clock that night. The individual competition was still the first to be held.

Team Samsara had won the individual competition in the previous two games, with a score of 5 to 4. Team Tyranny's veterans certainly had excellent experience and awareness, but Team Samsara was already a very mature team. The players were in their prime, and everyone had considerable competition experience. For the veterans, such an opponent was the most difficult to deal with. However, the difference of 1 point had a weak impact on the team competition. Under the new competition system, the individual competition had been regarded as an appetizer before the main game. It would not be too relaxed, but not too nervous.

As a result, the constant situation in the previous two games ended in this game. Team Samsara still won the individual competition, but this time, Team Samsara won with a score of 5 to 3. The winner was decided in the fourth player.

With a 2-point deficit, there was some commotion at the scene, and Team Tyranny's fans gradually became uneasy.

Looking at the overall situation, Team Tyranny did not lag behind too much in any game. Team Samsara's victory with four against five seemed to have been accumulated from the victories in each game. It was this kind of scene that made people feel uneasy. This was a phenomenon of the team's overall lag. What was wrong with Team Tyranny?

The audience did not know. They only hoped that the team could adjust in time and not fall short at the last moment. As for the small group of Team Samsara fans at the scene, they were completely excited. This start gave them hope for victory.

After the break between the two stages, the team competition was about to begin. The lineups of the two teams remained unchanged from the previous two games. In the unfamiliar map, what remained unchanged was that the refresh positions of both sides would be completely symmetrical. So, just after the character loading was completed, Team Tyranny's characters rushed forward without looking left or right.

The scene was slightly stunned, followed by a burst of enthusiastic cheers. This scene was so similar to Team Tyranny's straightforward victory in the away game? Without asking anything else, they directly broke through the defense and attacked, completely bringing the game into their own rhythm. Team Tyranny's fans were looking forward to this scene being staged again, and cheers rose and fell.

But Ye Xiu frowned when he saw this scene.

"Is something wrong?" Chen Guo had now developed the habit of paying attention to Ye Xiu's movements when watching the game, and she would ask Ye Xiu to explain a few words whenever she had the opportunity.

"Too anxious," Ye Xiu said.

"Ah? Didn't they play like this in the first game?" Chen Guo said.

"This is different. The first game was Team Samsara's home game, and they had the advantage of the map. Team Tyranny's play was more unexpected, and finally successfully weakened the opponent's advantage, suppressed Team Samsara's momentum, and mastered the rhythm. But now, both sides are unfamiliar with this map, and there is no advantage or disadvantage. Team Tyranny's play may not be able to take advantage of anything," Ye Xiu said.

"There is no way," Wei Chen said suddenly, "Team Tyranny's stamina can't keep up."

Stamina!

No one knew better than Wei Chen the impact of this thing on the players' state. A long team competition during the Challenger League had once consumed too much of him, and his state had obviously declined afterward. Team Tyranny's veterans were certainly much younger than Wei Chen, but how could the intensity of the playoffs be compared to the Challenger League?

Moreover, the playoffs were not only more intense, but the games were also more frequent. The regular season was one game a week, but the playoffs were usually one game every three to four days. This season, a new competition system was introduced, and there was a considerable chance that the game would have to be played in three games. Team Tyranny was the team that had played two full three-game matches to reach the finals. On the other hand, their opponent, Team Samsara, had solved the battle in just two games in both rounds.

Team Samsara had played two fewer games than Team Tyranny, which meant a week of rest. Especially before the finals, Team Samsara had already rested for three days, while Team Tyranny had to fight Team Tiny Herb in the third game. After resting for less than three days, they had to fly to H City to fight against Team Samsara, who was waiting for them.

Team Tyranny had won that game in one go, but after returning to their home field, they fought Team Samsara for two hours and lost. Team Tyranny's stamina was probably a problem in the second game? The fatigue of fighting for a whole season, the high-intensity continuous combat of the playoffs, the years began to ruthlessly beat these unyielding veterans at this time.

But they did not compromise, and they would not admit defeat. However, they were already clear that a long battle would be disadvantageous, so in this final, even though they knew that the situation was not right, they showed the same momentum as in the first game. The overall defeat in the individual competition may have been to save stamina. They wanted to leave as much energy as possible for the team competition, which could determine the victory or defeat.

And now, the moment of desperation was here. Perhaps everyone was exhausted, but their will supported them to complete every operation.

Charge! Team Tyranny charged.

What about Team Samsara? Team Samsara showed a completely opposite attitude to Team Tyranny at this time. At the beginning of the game, they did not rush straight to the opposite position. Obviously, they were avoiding this direct collision. Team Samsara's team tactically moved to the side. Team Tyranny rushed up aggressively, but in the end, they rushed into the empty space.

Those who could see the problem were probably already cold-hearted. In such a crucial game, every move and every detail was probably carefully pondered. Team Samsara's opening tactics were probably not a coincidence. They had seen that Team Tyranny was exhausted. They, who were fighting on the field, could clearly and directly feel the changes in Team Tyranny's state better than anyone else, and might even be clearer than Team Tyranny themselves.

So in this game, they were not in a hurry. They would slowly wear down Team Tyranny.

The direction of the game eventually confirmed this guess. Team Samsara refused to confront Team Tyranny head-on, and constantly avoided the real and attacked the empty to harass and wear them down. With Zhou Zekai, a super-top remote attacker, with Jiang Botao's Wulang, a medium-range attack map gun, and with Wu Qi, an assassin who could explode at any time, and with Lu Boyuan, a single-target strong control, as long as he grabbed a target, he would throw it out of the team... Team Samsara's lineup was extremely threatening to harass. Even though Team Tyranny had Zhang Jiale's Hundred Blossoms style of play as cover, the Hundred Blossoms style of play itself consumed a lot of energy, both for the players and the characters. So it was used at critical moments, but how could it be used like this, guarding against thieves every day.

Team Tyranny charged and bumped for a few waves. Although they had gained advantages in some areas, they did not cause fatal damage to Team Samsara. More importantly, they still did not break the current situation. If there was no problem with stamina, if they could continue like this, Team Tyranny could be called the dominant situation. However, those who saw the problem knew that Team Tyranny's situation was becoming more and more disadvantageous with each local advantage.

Their attention was scattered, their reactions were slow, their operations were stiff... Will could help them support, but only support. If they wanted to win the game, support alone was not enough. They needed a peak, perfect performance to have a chance to defeat the powerful Team Samsara.

But now, they could not do it. When another wave of harassment came, Team Tyranny was obviously a step slower, and the loophole was immediately seized by Zhou Zekai. He, who had not performed strongly in the finals, finally made a game-winning attack in the final game. The fully-powered One Autumn Leaf completely disrupted Team Tyranny's formation with a wave of chaotic shots. Other characters took the opportunity to swarm up and launched an overall strong attack. This time, Team Samsara did not retreat and attacked to the end. As for Team Tyranny, the veterans had reached their limits. Although they were still working hard, the operation had inevitably shown many flaws.

In the team competition, Team Samsara won with a score of 6 to 1. The final score of the entire game was fixed at 11 to 4. Team Samsara won the league championship again, and also became the second team in league history to win consecutive championships after Team Excellent Era. All of this happened in Team Tyranny's home field. The scene was deserted.
