Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

The individual competition has now ended. Although Luo Ji's fighting style caused some trouble for his opponent, he didn't actually deal much damage. Looking at his results, Luo Ji was somewhat disappointed.

"Luo Ji, you don't need to worry too much. Actually, you're much stronger now than when you were making those plans. You can even cause the opponent a lot of trouble," Xiao Nai said.

Luo Ji knew, of course, that he was completely different from before, but in the end, he still couldn't win the game. His vice-captain had worked hard to develop a new playing style tailored to him, and the captain had optimized it based on his situation, but he still ended up with such a result. As a result, when faced with Xiao Nai and the others' consolation, Luo Ji could only send a listless, bitter smile.

"Luo Ji, actually, for you right now, you don't need to care too much about winning or losing the matches. Instead, you should focus on each match itself, because each match is an opportunity for you to continuously discover your potential and weaknesses, and continue to improve. As long as you are willing to accumulate experience and learn slowly, victory is only a matter of time," Ye Xiu said.

"I will!" Luo Ji said earnestly. He knew very well that Ye Xiu's words were not only to comfort him, but also to point him in the right direction. Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu had both said similar things. After all, these things lead to the same goal, but the execution is another matter. He had to learn and adjust on his own.

After the individual competition ended and a short break was taken, the ring competition officially began. Since neither side had many players, it was quite obvious who would participate in the ring competition after the individual competition.

On Team Happy's side are Ye Xiu, Tang Rou, and Qiao Jingjing.

On Wuji's side, He An is facing off against Wuji's two opponents, a sorcerer and a qi master, in a do-or-die battle.

Wuji's starting lineup features a Warlock player who was the third player to appear in the previous round and was defeated by Qiao Jingjing. He has recovered from his defeat this week, and his opponent this time is Tang Rou from Happy.

Tang Rou's preparations for this Wuji match were thoroughly analyzed, with a focus on identifying the reasons for her defeat. Finding the reasons for the defeat wasn't about shirking responsibility, but rather about figuring out how to win the next match. As professional players, these actions are naturally proactive. After all, only by identifying the reasons for the defeat can solutions be implemented.

From the perspective of the Wuji team players, their consecutive losses to Tang Rou in the previous match were primarily due to their underestimation of Tang Rou's strength, and secondly, the fact that Tang Rou possessed a far greater stockpile of self-made equipment than they had anticipated. It's fair to say that their intelligence regarding Happy's players and characters was riddled with errors, especially regarding characters like One Inch Ash, who hadn't appeared in previous intelligence reports and caught them completely off guard.

The defeat in the previous match also provided valuable experience. Now, the Wuji team no longer treats Happy as a mere challenger, but rather as a high-level battle.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." After a week of research, they now have a relatively systematic understanding of the Happy team.

It was this detailed investigation that allowed them to build a rough player model for the Happy team. They could say that the players they really needed to focus on were Xiao Nai, Hua Zhu Shui Liu, and Jun Mo Xiao. Indeed, after the last match, they had placed Xiao Nai, the vice-captain who defeated Happy, on the same level as Zhang Jiale, a top-tier player. The only thing that troubled them was the identity of Jun Mo Xiao. They thought it was Ye Qiu, but the registration process listed Ye Xiu as the operator.

But none of that matters right now; what matters is the match they have to face.

Is the cold mist gentle?

After seeing the opponent's character, the Warlock player who was playing Wuji had already gone through all the research he had done on the opponent this week in his mind, including the things to pay attention to, the opponent's weaknesses, and the characteristics of the playstyle.

Persistent, brave, and exceptionally aggressive, they saw their opponent as an absolute attacker, a player of the offensive type. Their opponent's skills were also at a professional level. However, details from the replay of the last match showed that, as they said in the All-Star interview, their opponent had only recently started playing Glory and their skills were not as refined as those of veteran players. So, while they did have the skills, they had not yet reached the point where they could integrate their skills with actual gameplay.

The opponent's way of dealing with this weakness is to rely on brute force to meet the opponent's attacks head-on, while their ability to analyze and read the game situation is somewhat lacking...

In an instant, the players of Wuji's team had already recalled all the information and analysis results they had on Tang Rou and Han Yanrou. The number of self-made equipment on the other side also surprised them. The self-made equipment on the other side's character alone was one more than that on their core character. This treatment surprised them. They had not been prepared for this before, so they naturally checked it all this time.

After recalling the information, Wuji quickly conceived a strategy and tactics to deal with Han Yanrou. As the system counted down from three to one, Wuji's strategy and tactics were finalized.

The arena match officially began, with both teams' characters simultaneously appearing on the map. Although this match was Happy's home turf, giving them a home-field advantage, Tang Rou and Baozi were in a similar situation. As players who had only recently started playing Glory and hadn't even entered the God's Domain level yet, such a home-field advantage wasn't something they could simply acquire. After all, given their level of map knowledge, it was virtually impossible for Tang Rou and Baozi to know a map better than the rest of the Wuji team. This was evident from Baozi's choice to use the arena match as the map.

Because such a map is neither disadvantageous to either side.

In reality, Baozi and Tang Rou knew even less about the maps than the Wuji team thought. The reason was simple: they didn't play many arena matches. The only time they focused on arena matches was during the God's Domain mission. Although they would occasionally play in the arena, whether it was before, during the God's Domain mission, or in practice matches with teams like Blue Rain, they always used simple maps like the Arena mode. They hadn't played any other maps, so naturally, they didn't know much about them.

Unlike the previous individual matches, the arena matches will all use a single map. Establishing a home-field advantage and exploiting the unfamiliarity of the newcomers will be quite challenging. Therefore, Team Happy ultimately chose a map called Red Flower Pavilion, a map with some terrain but not particularly complex. (End of Chapter)
