Glory of tactics

Although Baihua has fallen to 18th place, not many people think that it will eventually be demoted.

On the one hand, after all, Baihua's strength is still there. As long as they adjust their form in the remaining six rounds, scoring two or thirty points will definitely not be a problem.

On the other hand, Mingqing and Xuanqi, who are currently in the relegation zone, are really bad. The two teams are still 16 and 22 points behind Baihua respectively. With their scoring efficiency, they may not be able to get it before the end of the season. Baihua's current score.

With these two favorites to be relegated, Baihua's current decline is more likely to be ridiculed by fans of teams they have defeated in the past. No one really thinks they will sink this season.

Regarding Baihua's situation, Wuxiao only paid a little attention to it, and then focused on preparing for the next game. In the next round, Howling will face Linhai at home, a team from the north.

Speaking of team history, Linhai is not inferior to any team. The Glory Alliance has been in existence since its establishment. However, this team has always been a little transparent. It has never made it to the playoffs in eight years and has always been neither good nor bad.

Affected by the decline of the Northern Heavy Industrial Zone, Linhai, although it has a broad mass base, has been unable to develop business and has always had the problem of insufficient funds.

Without funds, we cannot retain excellent players. As long as a player performs well, teams from wealthy areas will come to poach them in less than half a season, which makes life in Linhai increasingly difficult.

In the most recent All-Stars, there were four teams with only one All-Star player, namely Thunder's Xiao Shiqin, Royal Style's Tian Sen, 301's Yang Cong, and Linhai's Zhao Yang.

Among these four teams, Thunder, Royal Wind and 301 are now the main players competing for the last ticket to the playoffs. Only Linhai seems to have nothing to do with it, hanging far behind. And this team is not like this just this year, it is like this almost every year. There are only two seasons where it has reached the top half of the standings, giving people a feeling of being half-dead.

In terms of personal strength alone, Zhao Yang is not inferior to anyone such as Xiao Shiqin, Tian Sen, or Yang Cong. The team's performance has slumped to such an extent because there are too many problems in Linhai's management and the loss of players is too serious. Zhao Yang, an All-Star, simply cannot support them.

In fact, as the team's top player, it's not like Zhao Yang has never been poached by other teams. There are several rumors about him in almost every transfer window, and Linhai is not very willing to keep him. But for several years, Zhao Yang always stayed in Linhai.

When staying behind has become a habit, letting go is not only difficult, but also painful.

However, staying with a weak team is also a pain. When meeting a team at the top of the standings, getting a point is even a luxury.

Although in the past three rounds, Whistling has one win and two losses, the record is not good. However, as long as you study the video, you can know that Wuxiao's defeat was not because they played poorly, but because their opponents played better.

Especially after watching Qiu Fei's recent matches, Zhao Yang understood that there was no hope for this round of competition. So he put himself and the other two players in the team who were barely capable in single combat, the battle mage Yan Weiping and the swordsman Wang Haoliang, to compete for points in the individual competition.

The tragedy of weak teams is that they usually don't expect to win the game, but only hope to get small points.

However, on the weekend, Linhai was unable to fulfill even this small wish at the home ground of Wind Howl.

Zhao Yang took great pains to arrange the order of appearance. He successfully avoided Fang Rui and Qiu Fei, who were the strongest in the Wind Howl team, and faced Lin Jingyan, whose strength had declined.

However, on an unfamiliar map, Boundless Sea still lost to Tang San with a slight disadvantage.

Lin Jingyan took a break this round of the team competition, and Zhao Yang had already given up on winning the team competition. Both of them had no scruples and performed to their highest level together.

Although Lin Jingyan only entered the league one year earlier than Zhao Yang,

But he is three years older than Zhao Yang. In high-level competitions, the decline in his physical strength and endurance was very obvious.

At the beginning, with the advantage of the self-selected map, Tang San took the lead, and his health lead reached 23%.

But when the game entered the middle and later stages, Tang San's advantage gradually shrank, until the difference was about 5%, then it stabilized.

After all, Zhao Yang is no longer young. He also has Lin Jingyan's problems, but it's not so obvious.

When Boundless Sea finally fell, Zhao Yang felt a little regretful. His Spiral Mind Qi Kill had finished cooling down. As long as he was given one second to use this skill, Tang San would be the one who fell.

After the individual match, the two captains slumped in their chairs from exhaustion. It was not until the contestants from behind came up that they opened the door and came out.

Zhao Yang forced a smile and said to Lin Jingyan: "Old Lin, good fight."

Lin Jingyan sighed: "Now I have to play one less game. If I don't play well, I feel sorry for myself first. But Xiao Zhao, why are you still working so hard? Isn't there no problem in Linhai's relegation?"

Zhao Yang shook his head and said: "If we can get one more point this time, maybe we will be ranked one higher by the end of the season and the team will get an additional 1 million bonus share."

Lin Jingyan frowned and said, "Is the management of your team so embarrassed?"

Zhao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "You may still not believe it. So far this year, the team's salary has not been paid! The money paid at the end of last year was obtained by dismantling a huge amount of equipment during the winter!"

"What!" Lin Jingyan's body trembled slightly, she stopped and said in surprise: "That's your master's account!"

Demon Swordsman Lang Taotian is Linhai's first captain Bai Fanglu. He brought his account into the league from an online game. He was selected for the first two All-Stars.

At the beginning of the alliance's formation, age was relatively relaxed. Among the players are some minors like Ye Qiu who are not yet eighteen years old, and others like Lu Liang who are already in their twenties and have become famous in other e-sports events.

Because it was a newly established e-sports project, management and training were not very scientific and standardized at that time, and for promotion, there were many competitions. Therefore, most of the career life spans of the pioneer generation were not long, and many players retired after playing for one or two seasons.

Like Han Wenqing, those who have stayed on the front line from beginning to end are not only young and talented in gaming, but also absolutely gifted in terms of physical condition.

Bai Fanglu was already playing for a relatively long time in the pioneering generation, and he only retired in the fifth season. Even though in the later stages, his level had seriously declined and he could not even enter the All-Stars, he still tried his best and worked hard for Linhai with Zhao Yang for the last two years.

Unfortunately, due to poor management, Linhai's character strength has not been able to keep up with the opening of the level cap, and its competitiveness has declined rather than increased. Bai Fanglu's last ditch effort resulted in the best record in Linhai's history, ranking 9th in the standings, but he was still so far behind that he failed to cross the threshold of the playoffs.

When Bai Fanglu retired, Zhao Yang cried miserably. Bai Fanglu stroked the top of his head and consoled him: "Xiao Zhao, your talent is no worse than Wang Jiexi's. Until now, you haven't even played in the playoffs. I'm sorry for you, it's Linhai who can't help you! If one day, someone bids you If so, just go! At least, see a different scenery once!"

Linhai sold many players, and these words spread to everyone in the professional circle. But despite the ups and downs, Zhao Yang always stayed in Linhai, all the way up and down in the second half of the standings and All-Star list.

After Bai Fanglu, there was no outstanding Magic Swordsman player in Linhai. The All-Star account once had a huge amount of money, so it was idle, waiting for the next owner.

The strength of Lang Taotian's characters cannot keep up with the progress of level improvement, which is based on the level of all-star characters. Compared with ordinary professional accounts, he is not weak.

He Wu once asked to buy Langtaotian for Jiang Botao, but was rejected. When Wuji downgraded and bought Sedinkun, Jiang Botao had been bought by Samsara, and the Sedinkun operator eventually became Xu Zijian.

Samsara was very wealthy. After buying Jiang Botao, he offered Langtao Tian a rich purchase price of 3 million. This price immediately impressed Linhai's manager, but when news of the character transfer spread, it aroused opposition from fans, and things were delayed. In addition, someone from the senior management of Linhai Team instructed them to raise the price. This greedy attitude angered the Samsara party, and the transaction was terminated. Manager Samsara also specially found a magic swordsman account named Wulang and armed it for Jiang Botao to use. It can be seen that the negotiation that year stimulated him deeply.

Characters that could not be bought with a huge sum of three million two years ago are now being broken up and sold secretly at a low price. How could Lin Jingyan not be surprised when he heard this news?

Zhao Yang said expressionlessly: "So what? If the team can't persist, it will be sold sooner or later! I really envy your home court! So many fans come to cheer. Most of the young people in our place have gone out to work. One day After playing every home game, the combined income from tickets and peripherals is barely enough for daily operations. Our manager really wishes he could play at home against giants like Blue Rain and Tiny Herb in every round. But if that were the case, he wouldn’t have to pay 1 per round. :9, 0:10, demoted and disbanded early. Ha!”

Lin Jingyan was speechless. No matter how poor Wuxiao was, it was not as miserable as Linhai.

With a sneer, Zhao Yang lowered his voice and said in a voice just within earshot of Lin Jingyan: "Did you know? They are already arranging my Boundless Sea. As soon as I retire, they will sell Boundless Sea. I just Can we hope that the account will not be torn down like Lang Taotian... right?"

The two of them walked to the entrance of the passage. Zhao Yang cheered up and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Please don't be merciful because of my words in the team competition later. No matter how difficult it is, I hope that the victory can be won by myself." of!"

Lin Jingyan smiled slightly and said, "I can't compete in the team competition."

Zhao Yang suddenly said: "Yes, that Qiu Fei is a good prospect, and you have found a treasure. Congratulations first, you have made it to the playoffs this year."

Lin Jingyan nodded and said, "Yeah, you're lucky. Thank you Excellent Era. Otherwise, this year's situation would be a bit overwhelming just relying on Fang Rui."

The two veterans said goodbye. The match between them was the third individual match. Linhai did not score points in the previous two games.

Yan Weiping met Fang Rui, and Wang Haoliang met Zhao Yuzhe. The difference in strength was too big, and it was an away game, so both of them were easily defeated.

In the individual competition, Zhao Yang persisted for a while and did not let all three lose too ugly. But in the arena competition, Linhai was defeated like a mountain and had no power to resist. Two assassins and one elemental mage were jointly dealt with by Guo Haoran and Zheng Yong, who were in good condition, without even seeing Qiu Fei, the general guarding the gate.

In the first half, Howl achieved a complete victory.

Linhai is a weak team at the bottom of the standings. The players have become accustomed to losing by a big score, and their morale is somewhat low as they continue to play in the team competition.

The Thunder is probably the only team in the league that can still confidently and unwaveringly strive for victory in the team competition despite losing all the individual competitions and group competitions!

Originally, with Zhao Yang here, Linhai still had some fighting capacity in the team competition. However, Zhao Yang's strength was slightly damaged due to a fierce battle with Lin Jingyan first, so the whole group moved forward together.

The roaring leader on the opposite side, Qiu Fei, had been holding back for the whole arena match, and burst out from the start, controlling the battle mage to take the lead.

Luohua Fengyu rushed into the Linhai Brigade, as recklessly as a trap.

When everyone in Linhai realized that Qiu Fei's battle mage was really arrogant and out of touch, the light from the Bailong Meteor had already covered the entire team in Linhai!

Cheng Yijiu, the operator of the Assassin Yuchang Leng, first failed to keep up with Qiu Fei's rhythm and was unable to block the thrust of the dragon stick, and was sent flying.

Wang Haoliang used his sword to slash and stab, and after receiving a few blows, he felt that he couldn't resist, so he cut in with three cuts.

With two melee guards suddenly missing, the pressure on Hui Taiheng and Huang Kefeng in the back row suddenly increased.

Elemental mage Feng Leng Wujiang was struggling before, but this time he was more clumsy. He only persisted for one second longer and followed in Cheng Yijiu's footsteps.

Priest Butian was at the very back. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer teammates around him, he simply charged and followed Wang Haoliang as he ran across thousands of mountains.

Yan Weiping's Lu Fengxian misjudged the power of Haolong Pojun when Luohua Fengyu just rushed in, and was the first to be pushed away.

Among the five main players of the Linhai team, only the captain Zhao Yang was able to survive Qiu Fei's Bailong Meteor and use his air wave shield to hold on.

However, his teammates retreated either actively or passively, making Zhao Yang's persistence useless.

In just one face-to-face meeting, Qiu Fei shattered the Linhai brigade that had formed a group and isolated Boundless Hai.

Zhao Yang was stubborn. Even if he was the only one left, he launched a countercharge towards Qiu Fei. The sky-shattering cannon was connected to the splitting palm, followed by an air blade, and the counterattack came fiercely and quickly.

However, when Qiu Feizi was in full swing, the Phantom Dragon Fang Lian Shaba was tit for tat with Zhao Yang and refused to give in.

Wang Haoliang's swordsman was the closest, and when he saw this, he wanted to come over and attack him. However, Zhao Yuzhe's time was replaced by Feng Leng Wu Jiang's restraint, and a series of ice picks stabbed him accurately, making him unable to move.

On both wings, Fang Rui's Gui Mi Shen Sui and Lu Yiming's sharpshooter Bian Jingren found Hui Taiheng and Cheng Yijiu respectively, and started fighting against each other.

In the blink of an eye, a good team battle was broken up by Qiu Fei and turned into a one-on-one duel. The situation tilted towards Wu Xiao, who was stronger personally.

At this time, it should have been Zhao Yang's responsibility to reconnect the teammates who were in contact. However, under Qiu Fei's pressing pressure, Boundless Hai couldn't protect himself, let alone carry out tactical command.

At 10:0, Wuxiao slaughtered Linhai at home. Wash away the depression of Jiangnan Derby defeat.
