Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

In combat between melee classes and ranged classes like Gunners, it's rare for their health to be very close. This is because, when maintaining distance, ranged classes can kite their opponents and whittle down their health. Conversely, if a melee class gets close to a ranged class, their health will deplete very quickly.

In melee vs. ranged combat, the final outcome is usually determined by this exchange of damage. As for who has the advantage, that depends on the players' understanding of the actual situation during the match. This places extremely high demands on the players' mechanics, awareness, and even calculation abilities.

Obviously, such a brain-intensive task was beyond Baozi's comprehension, and the game itself offered no map advantage. So, after the two sides exchanged lives a few times, Baozi was defeated by Wu Cheng's artillery fire.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Baozi's current strength is much weaker than Wu Chen's. In fact, Baozi mainly lost this match because of his control and management of the battle situation.

After all, when both sides' health points are decreasing alternately, the most important thing is to control the rhythm. How to deal the most damage during your own output window, how to make it harder for the opponent to escape, or how to make your movement speed or efficiency slower when escaping. These rhythm control are obviously not Baozi's forte.

Baozi's actions were more like a reckless young man blindly fighting; he had his own tactics and strategies, but he didn't realize the importance of other aspects at all.

"We won! We won! We won!"

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"The captain is so strong!!!"

……

Seeing their team secure their first victory, Wuji's fans erupted in cheers. Even the Wuji team players in their training room showed signs of relief and smiles.

Of course, they were well aware that this one point could not change their current predicament, but it was still a good start, and as long as it was a victory, they felt good about it.

The second match was on a map called Blue Temple, and the Happy player who played this time was: Windward Formation.

This week, Wuji and his team learned more about this captain. They discovered that he was the original captain who founded Blue Rain. They even found some information about Yingfeng Buzhen from his time in the online game. Through analyzing his combat, even though it was just in the online game, they could tell that the attack range of his weapon was somewhat abnormal, and that his thinking was very experienced and ruthless.

Their team is fielding their seventh member, the sharpshooter who appeared earlier. They believe that relying on the sharpshooter to defeat this old man will be quite difficult.

As for the Wuji team's current situation, they can only afford to lose one more match at most. Any more than that and their challenger journey will be over. Needless to say, they cannot afford to lose either the arena match or the team match. The only time they can afford a mistake is in the individual matches; that is, they must secure at least two points in their individual matches to advance to the next round.

Of course, while the individual competition is important, they can't afford to lose the subsequent arena matches, so they can't put all their top players into the individual competitions. After all, the individual competitions at least offer a margin of error, but the arena matches offer none. If they lose the arena matches, they've lost for good. So, after a week of deliberation, the Wuji team could only stick to the arrangement from the previous match, swapping the positions of the players for the second and third matches, leaving everything else unchanged. The Wuji team could only leave the rest to fate.

As for Team Happy's sharpshooter facing off against their favorable formation, even they themselves felt that the possibility of defeat was relatively high. After all, they had fielded the weakest of their main players, and now one sharpshooter could replace one of the opponent's veterans, which wasn't bad. They were all mentally prepared for this.

Even in track and field horse racing, they still had the desire for their horses to win.

After the countdown of three, two, one, the competition begins.

Since Wei Chen chose the Blue Temple map, he was naturally extremely familiar with it. Although Wei Chen usually seemed carefree, he was very serious when facing formal matches. As a professional player, he would maximize the use of every resource available, including character traits and map characteristics. Furthermore, Wuji Team was fielding their seventh player, so the match was almost a foregone conclusion that Wei Chen would win.

However, although the result was expected by Team Wuji, it did not affect their tense mood at all. Everyone focused their attention on the player selection for Team Happy in the third game, because this game would directly determine whether they could continue to play.

The third time, Team Wuji sent out their elemental mage player. As this match was a matter of life and death for the team, the psychological pressure was immense.

So as soon as this elemental mage entered the arena, he started taking deep breaths to test his emotions, afraid that nervousness would affect his performance.

While he was still making adjustments, he saw the character that Happy was about to enter the game—Mo Guang.

Upon seeing this ID, the Wuji team members were completely dumbfounded. After all, they had thoroughly investigated all the members of Happy this week, but this Mo Guang was not among them. It wasn't that they had overlooked him, but rather that they couldn't find any information about him at all.

It's fair to say that all the information about this player from Happy is completely blank, but it's precisely this blankness that makes the Wuji team somewhat panicked. This unknown situation adds even more pressure to this player who is already under a lot of psychological pressure.

Under such psychological pressure, the player's hands were trembling, and so was Luo Ji on the other side. He was even more nervous than his opponent, and his hand holding the mouse was shaking. His heart was pounding so fast he couldn't even feel it, and he was sweating profusely.

"Experience is accumulated through matches; you'll never gain experience if you don't participate." This is what Xiao Nai told him before he went on stage. Although Luo Ji wasn't at Happy Internet Cafe, it was still an online competition, and he could participate even from school.

Luo Ji agreed with his vice-captain's point that experience needs to be accumulated, but wasn't it a bit too fast to put him directly into the arena to gain experience? He'd only just reached a point where he could perform well in the online game's arena, and there was still a gap between him and the rest of Happy. Even if his current playstyle suited him better, other factors were still limiting; even if he was stronger than before, there were still limitations.

The opponents are professional teams; this question is way beyond the scope of the curriculum... (End of Chapter)
