Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

The Wuji Warlock was incredibly frustrated. After all, he had finally achieved such a favorable situation in the last match, only to be suppressed by his opponent again, and now he was facing a repeat of his previous defeat. He had already lost once before, and now he had to do it again. It was incredibly frustrating. But as his thoughts drifted to this point, the Wuji Warlock finally had a breakthrough.

Because he finally realized that he was now fighting in a ring match rather than an individual match. Although the ring match was still about players taking turns to fight each other, it was still a team battle. Moreover, he was the first player, so it didn't matter if he lost this match, as long as he could create an advantage for the players who came after him.

After all, victory doesn't necessarily have to be won in the first match, but it definitely requires the effort of the first player.

He was actually making the same mistake his team leader had made in the previous round. He could have been much bolder and even swapped players with the opposing team.

Thinking about this, even the sorcerer from Wuji felt a pang of regret. If he had realized this sooner and started fighting earlier, would the situation have been completely different? Of course, it's not entirely hopeless now.

Thinking this, Wuji the Sorcerer immediately calmed himself down. Qiao Jingjing, whose strength was even below Tang Rou's, couldn't be without flaws, no matter how meticulous her movements were. In fact, her overly meticulous movements might have resulted in some unnecessary actions. Wuji the Sorcerer immediately seized upon these brief, superfluous movements, having thoroughly studied Qiao Jingjing's fighting style over the past week. He was naturally aware of her weaknesses.

Taking advantage of the moment when Qiao Jingjing used her target switch and moved to the left, he rolled away from Qiao Jingjing's other direction. Then he began to unleash his skills.

In the past, the distance between the two sides would have been quite dangerous, but now the Wuji Sorcerer's mindset is different. He now wants to inflict the greatest damage on his opponent and doesn't care whether he can win.

Cutting!
He started with an instant-cast Slice spell, a purplish-black slash that shot towards Qiao Jingjing, followed closely by a Cursed Arrow.

Soul-striking technique, corrosion technique, manipulation technique...

Attack and control skills were used interchangeably, and various skills were thrown out of Wuji Sorcerer's hands with great fluidity. For a moment, Wuji Sorcerer even regained the feeling of the previous match. Not only was he not quickly closed in on by Qiao Jingjing, but he also fought better and better. He seized a momentary opening in Qiao Jingjing's defenses and launched a counterattack.

This sudden attack disrupted Qiao Jingjing's rhythm. After all, Qiao Jingjing was only a player who had been playing Glory for a little over half a year, and had only been practicing the game for a few months. Although she had learned a lot during this time and could easily deal with ordinary players, her lack of experience became apparent when facing experienced professional players.

For ordinary players, Qiao Jingjing's meticulous maneuvers would be completely undetectable to her opponents, but now that she's a professional player, some overly meticulous maneuvers can easily lead to mistakes.

Of course, this isn't to say that meticulousness is bad, but on the field, nothing is absolute. Whether it's meticulous execution or a wide-open, aggressive style of play, it all needs to be used according to the situation and what suits you best. Only what suits you best is truly the best. However, neither Tang Rou nor Qiao Jingjing has yet reached the point where they can perfectly master their respective playing styles.

So now, their playing style is both their advantage and their weakness!
Coupled with her limited experience, Qiao Jingjing started to panic after being counterattacked. Meanwhile, her opponent became increasingly adept at attacking. What was initially a close distance between them was now growing further apart. Moreover, this time, the Wuji sorcerer no longer cared about maintaining a safe distance; as long as the distance was roughly right, they didn't dwell on it and focused entirely on offense. Closer distance meant shorter flight times for ranged skills, naturally making them more difficult to dodge.

The reason ranged classes are at a disadvantage in melee combat is twofold: firstly, most ranged skills have a wind-up animation; secondly, most ranged skills are linear attacks, while melee skills are X-axis attacks, whereas melee skills are area-of-effect attacks along both the X and Y axes. Furthermore, most ranged skills have slower wind-up animations, while most melee skills are instantaneous, with the main lag occurring during the recovery animation. Therefore, ranged classes are at a disadvantage at close range. Now, the Wuji Warlock is launching a strong attack from mid-range, completely abandoning their previous approach to fighting Qiao Jingjing.

Although this was different from the tactics he had planned to use against Qiao Jingjing, Dyna's tactics are mainly for reference, and the players still have to choose according to the situation of the game. The Wuji team's warlock did a very good job. With his decisiveness, he directly turned the tide of the game.

In contrast, Qiao Jingjing is in a very bad state right now. She has not been able to find her rhythm at the beginning and is trying to get back into form. The more Dyna tries to find it, the less she can do and she can't perform well.

The atmosphere in the chat channels outside shifted instantly. Even with Qiao Jingjing's large fanbase, Wuji's excellent and brilliant counterattack still drew cheers from many players. Ultimately, this is a professional league; fame is useful but limited. In the end, everyone judges you by your skill and results.

Wuji the sorcerer was naturally unaware of the cheers and applause outside, but this did not affect his performance at all.

Qiao Jingjing was also somewhat worried. Although she had great confidence in Ye Xiu's strength, the thought of him having to fight three opponents alone if she lost still made her uneasy. Wasn't the current situation exactly the same as the opposing team's in the previous round? And Happy had won the last round; would the opposing team also find themselves in the same predicament?

It can only be said that Qiao Jingjing's competition experience was ultimately limited. Although the actor was very good at adjusting his mentality, even Qiao Jingjing could not stabilize her mentality under such high pressure. This mentality made her more likely to make a mistake, and Wuji's sorcerer decisively seized this mistake, immediately following up with another set of Xiao Li's moves. In the end, just like in the previous match, he successfully restrained Qiao Jingjing. Although Qiao Jingjing broke through the opponent's suppression this time, she was already at low health. After exchanging blows with the opponent, the character completely collapsed.

In this match, Qiao Jingjing only managed to reduce her opponent's health by a little over a third, which is equivalent to them only reducing the opponent's health by a little over 30% over two matches. This situation is even more exaggerated than what Tang Rou achieved in the previous round.

"I'm sorry..." Qiao Jingjing said, somewhat distressed. Because if anyone had to say who had provided the most support to the team, it would be her. Tang Rou was only taught by Ye Xiu, while she was first taught by Xiao Nai, and then again by Ye Xiu when she switched to assassin. Both the captain and vice-captain taught her, and she even had the most custom-made equipment. After all, besides her current character, Luwei, she also had another character, Handy Picking Cotton, who was decked out in custom-made gear. Even when she wanted to use two completely different characters in a match, Ye Xiu and Xiao Nai supported her decision.

The team members didn't share equipment with her just because both the ammunition expert and the assassin were skilled in armor; instead, they crafted gear specifically for her assassin. And yet, she consumed so many of the team's resources, only to achieve such poor results…

This made Qiao Jingjing feel really bad and guilty...

"No need to apologize," Ye Xiu's voice rang out at that moment.

Qiao Jingjing looked at Ye Xiu, somewhat surprised, considering Ye Xiu had been sarcastic towards Tang Rou earlier. Then she looked at Xiao Nai with some surprise, hoping that Ye Xiu would translate the message.

Xiao Nai smiled at this, patted Qiao Jingjing's head, and then said to everyone, "Old Ye is right. None of you need to apologize for losing. Winning and losing are normal; apologizing every time you lose would be too much trouble." (End of Chapter)
