Chapter 1588 Tactical Core

Blue Rain was one of the few teams in the regular season to double-kill Happy in the team competition. No, to be precise, it was a triple-kill. Although Blue Rain lost the previous round of the playoffs, they still defeated Happy in the team competition.

Having won three team matches against Happy, they should have a good understanding of them. However, as the commander of the Blue Rain team, Yu Wenzhou didn't feel that way at all.

From the two encounters in the regular season to the previous round of the playoffs, there were different feelings in the three battles against Happy.

This wasn't just because of Happy's personnel and tactical adjustments. In these three battles, Happy more clearly demonstrated their growth.

Happy's players were recklessly absorbing experience and growing rapidly after entering the professional arena. But new teams appeared every year, and these new teams would all make obvious progress after entering the high-end training ground of the professional circle. However, only Happy was so powerful.

Most people focused on Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, and Fang Rui. They felt that Happy had three all-star players, so they were different from ordinary new teams and had such phenomenal performance.

But, was that the whole reason?

Happy had three all-star level players.

Ye Xiu had been away from the professional arena for a year and a half, and switched to the new class, the unspecialized; Su Mucheng had been away for a year; Fang Rui had even reached the peak of the Thief class and was now transitioning.

These three also had their own problems. It could even be said that they were actually one of the loopholes in Happy's team. Happy could become a unique new team, but it wasn't entirely because of these three all-star players.

Progress was a keyword that Happy shared with other new teams. The biggest difference between Happy and these other new teams was that they completely transformed progress into combat effectiveness.

As long as the players got stronger, would the team become more combat effective?

This logic seemed obvious. But in fact, if it was in a solo match, this logic was impeccable, but in a team match, this statement was questionable.

Teams needed cooperation, understanding, and mutual adaptation.

When each player on a new team started to grow faster or slower, did their team system make corresponding adjustments with this growth?

This wasn't a simple matter. The biggest difference between Happy and them was that Happy did a good job in this regard. They constantly adjusted to adapt to the players' progress.

In the end... it was still because of that guy, Happy's helmsman, Ye Xiu. He accurately grasped Happy's pulse, allowing teams that only fought Happy once every few months to feel the leap in their combat effectiveness. He completely digested and utilized the extraordinary growth of the new team.

And then, what happened on the field?

Countless fragments from Happy's past matches flashed back in Yu Wenzhou's mind.

The immature Happy, the Happy with so many flaws, but when their opponents rushed straight at Happy's so-called flaws, how many teams had completely defeated Happy?

Happy had immature aspects, and many shortcomings. However, Happy themselves knew this more clearly than their opponents, and had made particularly careful arrangements to address their shortcomings.

All of this still stemmed from Ye Xiu...

Ye Xiu and Lord Grim's figures continued to become clearer in Yu Wenzhou's mind, and what he encompassed was no longer just Steamed Bun and Steamed Bun Invasion, but all of Happy!

If they didn't defeat this guy, there was no way to truly defeat Happy!

Those so-called breakthroughs and loopholes could be reversed because of this guy's existence.

To defeat Happy, Yu Wenzhou realized that what needed to be done was simple, but not simple.

Defeat Ye Xiu.

Yes! That was it.

Defeating Ye Xiu would defeat Happy.

This goal was as pure as a cliche. Because this sentence structure could be applied to any team.

Defeat Wang Jiexi to defeat Tiny Herb.

Defeat Zhou Zekai to defeat Samsara.

Defeat Han Wenqing to defeat Tyranny.

Every team had a core. Being able to defeat the core would of course greatly increase the chances of winning. But the reason why the core was the core was because they were the most difficult person to defeat on that team.

To defeat them, they would need to pay a very high price.

It was like Happy's match against Tiny Herb, they focused on Wang Jiexi, trading two for one, succeeded in the end, and ultimately defeated Tiny Herb.

The match was exciting, but Yu Wenzhou didn't agree with the reliability of this tactic. That match wasn't so much about defeating Wang Jiexi as it was about defeating Wang Jiexi to shatter the confidence of Tiny Herb's other players.

This was Tiny Herb's main reason for losing. If the other players hadn't been shaken by this, exchanging a core player for two opponents to gain a numerical advantage was probably not something many teams would consider a loss.

Happy defeated Wang Jiexi, pursuing not a tactical victory, but a psychological victory, which was why they could be so reckless.

And this was a possibility created by Tiny Herb's own problems.

If they were fighting Samsara, trading two for one to defeat Zhou Zekai; or fighting Tyranny, trading two for one to defeat Han Wenqing, the results would probably not be the same.

So now, against Happy, against Ye Xiu, could they use this tactic?

In the Blue Rain team's chat, the captain's instruction suddenly appeared: Strong attack, Ye Xiu.

They could!

This was Yu Wenzhou's final conclusion after thinking.

Wang Jiexi was more of a spiritual pillar for Tiny Herb; while Ye Xiu was a tactical pillar for Happy.

In the countless fragments that flashed back in his mind, Ye Xiu was like a brick, moving wherever he was needed.

Without his support, Happy's team probably wouldn't be connected. On this field now, Steamed Bun Invasion, this ticking time bomb, would also lose its bomb disposal expert.

Defeat Ye Xiu! It would completely destroy Happy's tactical structure. Without him to connect the team, Happy would reveal more flaws, and at this time, probably no one would be able to patch them up.

Yu Wenzhou issued the instruction, and the Blue Rain team immediately executed it.

Troubling Rain and Cloud Piercer, two swords, one fast and one slow, suddenly abandoned Steamed Bun Invasion and pointed towards Lord Grim.

"I'll go!" Steamed Bun immediately taunted, "You can't even handle me, and you want to handle our boss?"

Steamed Bun said this because he was still alive. To be honest, Blue Rain's relentless attacks had already made him very embarrassed.

"Small character, get out of the way!" Huang Shaotian unceremoniously replied, his lightsaber Ice Rain piercing towards the back of Lord Grim's heart.

Whoosh, whoosh, Lord Grim's figure flickered ghostlike twice, and he had already moved to Troubling Rain's side.

Ice Rain pierced empty, Troubling Rain quickly turned his body, while Cloud Piercer, whose sword was slightly slower, happened to make up for the attack and continued to stab towards Lord Grim.

Lord Grim moved again, and Sorcerer's spells and Gunner's bullets also blocked his retreat.

Countless possible routes for Lord Grim were instantly turned into a cloud of afterimages.

Shadow Clone Technique!

Lord Grim left a fake body, and his real body escaped. Blue Rain's first wave of strong attacks ultimately hit nothing.

But the team's offensive changed quickly, and they continued to attack fiercely. The formation that Happy had been scattered earlier had not yet taken shape.

Yu Wenzhou continued to carefully observe the entire field. When the focus of the attack was placed on Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, how would Happy adjust? Yu Wenzhou didn't dare to relax in the slightest, especially when attacking Ye Xiu, as it was easy to be led into a pit by this guy. He had to see the whole situation clearly.

Happy's characters, one by one, fell into Yu Wenzhou's vision.

One less!

Yu Wenzhou suddenly realized.

"Fang Rui?" Yu Wenzhou asked in the channel.

"Going around behind," Zheng Xuan replied.

Yu Wenzhou breathed a sigh of relief. He had overlooked a character, but fortunately he had teammates.

Fang Rui going around behind was naturally to take advantage of the wind. The wind force of the strong winds had no effect on Sorcerer's incantations and some spells. But for Fire spells, and Qigong Master's Qi, they could be strengthened and propelled.

Knowing the other side's intentions, they could naturally target them. But Blue Rain didn't move, and Fang Rui would cancel his plan if he prepared in advance. It was better to play along, let him go around, and then find that he had caught nothing.

Blue Rain continued to chase Lord Grim, chasing with a headache.

Lord Grim's movement was too fast, and he was leading them all like a train. Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain was showering them with artillery fire from afar.

However, Yu Wenzhou had expected this. Sorcerer's skills were now like a guide. Under his command, Blue Rain didn't chase anxiously. Troubling Rain and Cloud Piercer, the two swordsmen, didn't advance side by side. Troubling Rain chased closer, while Cloud Piercer hung behind the team. Zheng Xuan and Yu Wenzhou's characters were still in the wind zone, moving in parallel, and their healer was closely following the rhythm of the whole team.

Lord Grim hadn't been caught yet, but inadvertently, Fang Rui's attempt to go around behind had been disrupted. Blue Rain had made a big change in their position by chasing Lord Grim. It wasn't a back anymore. Fang Rui's Sea Conqueror rushed into the wind zone and met them here. Everyone's position was equalized, and compared to that, the wind became a side wind, and no one had an advantage over anyone.

Fang Rui controlled Sea Conqueror to move, still wanting to pull out an angle to borrow the wind, so that his trip wouldn't be in vain.

Outside the wind zone, Happy's other members were supporting Ye Xiu as much as possible.

Almost there.

Yu Wenzhou calmly watched all of this.

In the Blue Rain channel, another string of words jumped out: 1, Ye Xiu, cut Steamed Bun.

The offensive changed again.

Blue Rain still wanted to attack Steamed Bun. However, someone was left next to Ye Xiu's Lord Grim.

Troubling Rain, Huang Shaotian.

1 meant Box-1. Blue Rain team, Huang Shaotian executed Box-1, to drag Ye Xiu down.

Since Ye Xiu was Happy's tactical axis, then Box-1 was naturally the most suitable tactic. But Ye Xiu was too cunning. Directly executing it, probably no one could immediately restrict him. So Blue Rain first launched a strong attack, relying on numbers to complete the pressure, let Fang Rui go, and even lure the tiger away from the mountain, making Happy's side slightly weaker. When the time was right, Huang Shaotian dragged Ye Xiu, and the others counterattacked Steamed Bun.

Now it wouldn't be so easy for Ye Xiu to defuse the bomb.
