The King's Avatar: Mathematics is King

Chapter 117 Happy VS Samsara
After a while, a reporter finally spoke up: "Ms. Tang, what you mean is that only one against three can be considered a good performance?"

"Of course not, I just feel that I have let down my teammates this time." Tang Rou said.

"So in the next game, do you still expect yourself to fight one against three?" a reporter asked.

"Of course!" Tang Rou answered in a resounding voice.

The press conference ended quickly, and not many people took Tang Rou's statement that she would be able to fight three people at once in the future seriously.

The match between Xingxin and Zhaohua went on relatively quickly. The most anticipated match of this round, between Samsara and Tyranny at home, had just ended after their press conference.

In the end, Samsara won the game with a large advantage of 8 to 2. The two points lost were both lost in the individual competition.

It has to be said that several veteran players of Tyranny have rich competition experience. Even though they had no advantage in choosing the map away from home, they still won two individual matches by relying on their experience.

As for the following competition, with Samsara sending two of their key players, Sun Xiang and Zhou Zekai, to the competition, it was hard to imagine how they could lose.

In the final team competition, Samsara made up for their shortcomings, but their strength was not comparable to that of Tyranny.

Obviously, the tactics against Jiang Botao would not work if Samsara was prepared.

So although Tyranny’s failure is regrettable, it is by no means unfair.

However, after three rounds, Tyranny, which only scored 9 points, suddenly fell directly to the same level as the middle and lower-level teams in the league.

With such a start, the team no longer has the heroic momentum of last season when they were striving for the best regular season record.

People's concerns about Tyranny seem to be becoming a reality.

Another season has passed. How much has the performance of the veteran players of Tyranny declined?
After winning the championship last season, have the veterans really lost the will to fight again?
Even many of Tyranny's fans have such concerns.

The atmosphere at the post-match press conference was quite solemn.

Most of the players are veterans of Tyranny, and many of the reporters in the audience have been dealing with them for many years and have some kind of friendship with them.

The decline of Tyranny symbolizes the demise of an era they followed, and every veteran reporter feels a little sad.

At this time, those who are still able to raise sensitive questions are mostly the new generation of journalists.

"In the new season, Tyranny was not only swept by the strong new team Happy, but also lost eight points to last season's runner-up Samsara. After three rounds, Tyranny only has 9 points. What will Tyranny do next? Will there be any changes?" asked a reporter.

Make some changes, what changes? Replace the old with the new, and make that era a thing of the past?

"Batu will indeed make some adjustments." Deputy captain Zhang Xinjie answered the reporter's question.

"For example?" the reporter asked.

"Batu will add some rotations to make the team run more efficiently." Zhang Xinjie said.

"So, what is Tyranny's goal this season?" a reporter asked.

"Batum has only one goal, to be the champion!" Han Wenqing replied.

Is he really aiming for the championship, or is he just lip-service? The reporters did not ask further.

The three rounds of the tenth season are over.

Xingxin ranked first with a total of 30 points from three rounds, and Samsara ranked second with 28 points.

Blue Rain and Tiny Herb ranked third and fourth with 27 points, and Wind Howl ranked fifth with 26 points.

Judging from the current points, these five teams have become the first group.

Behind them is the sixth-placed Misty Rain Team with 22 points, the seventh-placed Thunder Team with 21 points, and the eighth-placed Void Team with 20 points.

After the playoffs, the points dropped again.

Team 14 ranked ninth with 13 points, followed by Team Royal Wind, which suffered a defeat in the third round and ranked tenth with points.

Further back is the Hewu team, which unexpectedly defeated Huangfeng in the third round and ranked eleventh with 12 points.

Then, after being swept by Xingxin in the second round, Baihua suffered another defeat in the third round and ranked twelfth with 11 points.

As for Team Tyranny, with 9 points, they are now squeezed at the back of the standings along with the middle and lower-level teams in the league.

Xingxin, who scored full 10 points in every game but finally topped the list in the third round, was undoubtedly ridiculed by the reports again.

With three rounds of victories, there is no need to say more about the outside world's optimism about Xingxin.

However, the people of Xingxin know their own business, and they are all aware of the problems within the team.

Tang Rou’s personality problem is just a small matter. After all, they can find a way to solve it.

The biggest problem lies in their coordination in team competitions.

The biggest source of this problem is Ye Xiu's Jun Moxiao.

Sanren, Thousand Machine Umbrella, and his unpredictable skill combination not only gave other team players a headache, but also made it difficult for Xingxin's players to keep up with his rhythm.

Of course, this mainly refers to Su Mucheng, Fang Rui, An Wenyi, Qiao Yifan and Wei Chen.

Luo Ji, Tang Rou, and Baozi were all newcomers, and had been playing with Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim since they started playing Glory, so they didn’t have any problems getting used to each other.

But apart from Luo Ji, with Tang Rou and Baozi's competition experience, it is still difficult for them to play a truly tacit and powerful cooperation with Ye Xiu in team competitions.

There were only three rounds of matches. In the first round, they played against Tyranny. Due to Luo Ji's demolition style of play, the problems did not even have time to become apparent and they won.

In the second round, Baihua’s morale was crushed by the previous individual competition, and their teamwork was not as good as theirs, so naturally there was no problem.

In the third round, Team Zhaohua was just a small team in the lower middle of the league after all. Its overall strength was too far behind Xingxin. It was normal for Xingxin to win the team competition without making too many mistakes.

However, the next fourth round will be the real test for Xingxin.

In the fourth round, they will challenge the Samsara team away.

There is no doubt that the Samsara team is powerful. If it weren't for Luo Ji's guidance, they should have been the champion team of the ninth season.

What's more, this season their team has also introduced a powerful attacker like Sun Xiang, which is an epic enhancement for Samsara.

The 8-2 victory over Team Tyranny in the last round also proved how powerful Samsara is today.

Xingxin's away challenge to the Samsara team is undoubtedly the biggest hot spot in this round of games.

Before the game even started, major e-sports forums and media were arguing over the matter.

One is a new team that has entered the league with unrivaled momentum, and the other is a new powerhouse that almost won the championship last season and has undergone epic reinforcement this season.

Both sides have a lot of supporters on the Internet, and they each hold their own opinions and argue fiercely.

"Happy has just entered the league and has won three games without a single loss. I'm asking, who else? Who else!"

"That's because they haven't encountered Samsara yet. After this round, Happy will reveal their true form."

"Tsk! We, Happy, even swept last season's champion team Tyranny, let alone a mere runner-up."

"That's because Tyranny is old." "Then why couldn't you, Samsara, sweep Tyranny 10-0 like Happy did in the last round?"

"What do you know? Those are all tactics."

"Hahaha... this is hilarious. The regular season is all about grabbing points. What about tactics? I've never heard of a tactic that intentionally gives up points without taking them."

Because both teams have already met Team Tyranny in the first three rounds, and they were all at their respective home courts.

Therefore, after the battle records of both sides were compared, the supporters of Xingxin immediately gained the upper hand on the Internet.

But of course the competition is not about who has more supporters, or whose supporters win the online argument; everything still depends on the outcome of the competition.

A week passed quickly.

On September 9, the fourth round of the Glory Professional League's tenth season kicked off, with Happy challenging the Samsara team away.

At 7:40 p.m., players from both sides began to enter.

There was no need for anything fancy about the entrance ceremony; the audience's enthusiasm was ignited the moment the contestants from both teams walked out of the contestant channel.

Although the Xingxin team has accumulated a group of loyal fans due to its three complete victories, today is the home court of Samsara after all.

Judging from the support from the audience alone, Samsara won.

After the introduction of the players and the ordinary opening of the game with handshakes and greetings, the two players returned to their respective seats, waiting for the final start of the game.

During the TV broadcast, commentators Pan Lin and Li Yibo were already chatting.

"Ye Xiu, the captain of the Xingxin team, has appeared in the individual competition for three consecutive rounds. Coach Li, do you think they will arrange the lineup in the same way this round?" Pan Lin asked.

"I think it's very possible. After all, Xingxin has Tang Rou and Luo Ji in charge of the competition, which is already a very strong lineup." Li Yibo said.

"But in the first three rounds of the Samsara Arena, there were two great players, Sun Xiang and Zhou Zekai, in charge of the competition. No matter how strong the two from Happy are, they are just newcomers. They should not be a match for these two, right?" Pan Lin said.

“Then do you think it’s possible that Samsara will send Sun Xiang or Zhou Zekai to try to snipe Ye Xiu in the individual competition?” Li Yibo asked in return.

"Hmm... there is indeed such a possibility, but it still depends on the deployment of Samsara. But personally, I think it is more likely that Samsara will put the two generals in the ring match." Pan Lin said.

“Haha, let’s wait and see.” Li Yibo said with a smile.

"Okay, the game is about to begin." Pan Lin saw the referee go to the two teams' seats and signal the players to go on stage.

"Let's see who will play for Xingxin." Li Yibo said with a smile, and the camera immediately turned to the Xingxin player seat.

"Ye Xiu, it's Ye Xiu. As expected, Happy has arranged Ye Xiu to be the first to compete in the individual competition." Pan Lin shouted loudly.

In the Xingxin team's player seat, Ye Xiu stood up, waved to the cheering audience, and walked towards the competition seat.

At the same time, the player who fought in the first round of the reincarnation has also stood up. It is Jiang Botao.

"It seems that Teacher Pan guessed right. Samsara should still put their two generals in the ring match." Li Yibo said with a smile.

"It should be that Samsara doesn't want to disrupt their own rhythm. In the previous three rounds of competition, Jiang Botao basically appeared in the first round of the individual competition." Pan Lin said.

The game started soon, and Jiang Botao's home singles selection map was not too complicated.

Mainly, he also knew that the most likely player for Xingxin would be Ye Xiu.

Facing this veteran who is hailed as a textbook of glory, if the map selection is too complicated, it might give the opponent an advantage.

It’s better to be straightforward and choose a map that you are familiar with but not too complicated.

The game characters were loaded, and neither player chose a tactical move and went straight to the middle.

Along the way, both sides said some trash talk that didn't make much sense.

Then soon, they met in the center of the map.

Ye Xiu did not rush to open fire, but when he was about to step into the opponent's attack range, he suddenly used a skill to start moving faster.

This is also Sanren's unique signature skill. After all, other professions do not have as many mobility skills as he does.

Jun Moxiao's quick attack as an independent player has not appeared in the league very often at this time. So far, no one has found a way to crack his style of play.

Jiang Botao naturally couldn't do it either, so naturally, Jiang Botao lost the game.

"Ten to zero!!!" On the field, the inflated Xingxin fans began to shout this slogan.

The second individual competition began shortly afterwards.

Mo Fan will play for Xingxin, while Wu Qi will be sent out by Samsara.

One is a ninja, the other is an assassin. Both are night-time occupations and their styles are somewhat similar.

Two patient players met each other, and the map Wu Qi chose was a more complicated one.

The viewing experience of this game is not that good.

Time passed by minute by minute, and while the audience was drowsy, Mo Fan finally found the opportunity to take action first.

The decapitation technique at the center of the earth!
After successfully hitting the target, Mo Fan used a variety of ninja skills such as the Back-Binding Head Technique, the Ninja Technique: Shadow Dance, the Ninja Technique: Sakura Killing Moon, etc. without any hesitation.

After a few skills, Wu Qi's assassin, who was a fragile profession, had his health bar reduced to half in an instant.

Faced with such a situation, Wu Qi decisively chose to retreat, and Mo Fan had no intention of pursuing him and also retreated in another direction.

As for the audience, the passion that had just been aroused died down again in an instant.

Next, the two contestants started their game of hide-and-seek again.

It was an individual match, and they fought for more than ten minutes before the winner was finally decided.

As a result of the game, Mo Fan, who had the advantage at the beginning, won the final victory.

Team Xingxin leads 2-0!

Inside the stadium, the slogans of Xingxin fans "10 to 0" rang out again, and even louder than before.

The third individual match will also begin soon.

The player sent by Happy was Baozi Invasion, while the player sent by Samsara was Lu Boyuan.

Lu Boyuan's profession is judo, and he belongs to the same fighting department as Baozi's gangster.

At the beginning of the game, neither side had any intention of making tactical moves and rushed directly to the center of the map.

Soon, the two sides met in the center of the map.

Before the fight officially started, cheers were heard from the audience, and fans of both sides cheered together.

It was really because of the previous game that they felt so bad.
