Ye Xiu, was he probing?

After discussing it with Yu Wenzhou, Huang Shaotian observed Lord Grim's actions even more carefully.

Provocation failed to shake Tyranny's resolve in the slightest. They maintained an extremely high level of patience, and so Ye Xiu's movements slowed down as well.

Backing off, Lord Grim was backing off, but his pace matched Tyranny's rhythm exactly. Not everyone could see this. At least Pan Lin and Li Yibo on the TV broadcast didn't mention it, only saying that Ye Xiu was starting to act cautiously as well.

He was acting cautiously, but what was the purpose of acting cautiously?

Probing, he was still probing.

Before, it was an aggressive probe, but this time, it was a defensive one.

"He's testing Tyranny's rhythm and tension." This time, it was Yu Wenzhou who sent the message to Huang Shaotian.

Rhythm and tension.

Ordinary players only have a vague understanding of this term, but professional players immediately understand when they hear it.

So-called rhythm and tension, simply described, probably refers to the rhythm of a team's offense and defense transitions. It needs to be neither bland nor exaggerated. This just right degree is the best.

At this time, Ye Xiu kept adjusting his own rhythm, just wanting to use this to influence Tyranny's rhythm changes, so as to observe and grasp their information.

"This isn't for the victory of this one match, but for the victory of this entire series." Yu Wenzhou once again sent a message.

Huang Shaotian easily understood this point. Because Tyranny rotated players throughout the regular season, only starting to field all their main players at the end of the season. But everyone knew that this was just a warm-up and a chance to work together. Their true energy would be accumulated until the playoffs to be released. No one could clearly grasp what Tyranny had prepared for this season without personally facing them. So Ye Xiu didn't hesitate to venture out alone. Tactically speaking, the risk was great, but strategically speaking, it was a stable method that focused on the long term.

However, would Tyranny let him see everything so easily?

Suddenly, the two gunners on the flanks of Tyranny's formation rushed out once more.

Bang, bang, bang!

Gunfire rained down, crossing towards Lord Grim again. But this time, Ye Xiu was prepared. The moment the two characters rushed out, he was already retreating rapidly.

The broadcast screen turned slightly, sweeping over the four characters that Happy had ambushed in the residential area.

They weren't far from where Happy had set up their ambush. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was also retreating in this direction. Would Tyranny step into the ambush just like that?

No!

The two gunners who suddenly rushed out only forced Lord Grim to retreat, showing their unwelcoming attitude. Tyranny didn't intend to pursue fiercely. So, when Lord Grim had already retreated into the ambush range, Tyranny's characters still had a good distance to go unhurriedly!

Then, Han Wenqing and Lin Jingyan didn't come up. Only Zhang Jiale and Qin Muyun launched ranged attacks. The Tyranny team didn't enter the ambush at all, but used ranged attack characters to attack Lord Grim non-stop.

Lord Grim also had ranged attack methods, but how could his firepower compare to the two genuine gunner classes? He obviously couldn't outshoot them, so he could only retreat again, retreating further and further.

Tyranny's team was actually having the ranged classes open the way in front, with the melee classes following behind to provide support. This unconventional formation structure was extremely suitable for the situation at hand. Even if the ranged classes entered an ambush, they wouldn't be as deep as the melee classes.

Lord Grim had already retreated very far at this time.

The residential area was built with houses around the trees. The whole area was lush and green, and many houses built on the trees were covered by leaves, making them very hidden. It was clearly a good place to ambush characters. So, after Zhang Xinjie gave a signal in the channel, even Zhang Jiale and Qin Muyun stopped chasing Lord Grim.

"Want to add some health?" Zhang Jiale greeted Ye Xiu in the public channel.

"Don't panic," Ye Xiu replied calmly. He was all alone, and even though he hadn't engaged in intense head-on conflict with the other party, he had lost a lot of health on the way to this point. He only had forty-seven percent left, not even half.

Even though he'd been beaten half to death, Tyranny was still able to restrain themselves and not rush up for a kill. Their patience and perseverance were truly terrifying.

Zhang Xinjie's Stone Not Turning stepped forward, his perspective rotating. Just like that, he stood outside Happy's ambush circle, slowly and calmly observing the terrain here.

"Happy has shot themselves in the foot this time!" the commentator Pan Lin said.

Even if it was a team battle map, it wasn't so large that one couldn't see the depths of the clouds. Letting someone stand aside and observe slowly like this, they would soon be able to see where the terrain should be wary of. And the one observing now was precisely the tactics master Zhang Xinjie, Zhang Xinjie who never missed any detail!

Stone Not Turning suddenly raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction.

At the other end, Dazzling Hundred Flowers also raised his arm, and a grenade flew out, flying towards that direction.

Boom!

As a result, the beautiful and precise arc only drew halfway before the grenade suddenly exploded in mid-air. A rain of fire fell, scattered everywhere. Dazzling Hundred Flowers had thrown a blazing grenade.

"Hehe, sorry about that!" At this time, Ye Xiu sent a message to the public channel. At the end of the forest, the tip of Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was smoking. It was he who had directly blown up this grenade with a shot.

At this time, Lin Jingyan's Dark Thunder also suddenly raised his hand, and something that looked like a wine bottle also flew towards that direction.

"Are you testing me?" Ye Xiu sent a message leisurely, and then Lord Grim quickly raised his hand, Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was raised again, and with a bang, the bottle-shaped object was also shattered with a crash. What fell out was also fire, pouring onto the ground and spreading out.

"Are you trying to start a forest fire? That's a bit difficult," Ye Xiu sent another message.

The TV broadcast was really coordinating with the players' exchanges. As Ye Xiu said this, the camera immediately gave some close-ups of the fire on the ground. As Ye Xiu said, the flames produced by these skill attacks were not long-lasting, and ultimately did not leave any embers behind.

"How about learning from Huang Shaotian and cutting down all these trees?" Ye Xiu said again.

"Damn it, damn it!" Huang Shaotian, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was also shot, and frantically used his hand speed to send a message to Yu Wenzhou to express his inner indignation.

Tyranny remained unmoved by Ye Xiu's teasing. None of the five members of the team responded. Zhang Xinjie's Stone Not Turning continued to adjust his perspective, carefully observing everything while communicating with the others in the team channel.

Ye Xiu didn't know this, but the audience could see it all.

Everyone could not only see the discussion in Tyranny's channel, but also knew the hiding places of the other four members of Happy's team besides Ye Xiu's Lord Grim. What Tyranny was discussing was the possibility of each character's hiding place. Usually, they would combine the class analysis to see which position was more conducive to the performance of which class.

Happy's four characters, four classes, each one was analyzed with several possibilities. The audience took a look, and it was all correct! The hiding places of Happy's four were indeed all within the range of possibilities that Tyranny had analyzed.

Then, they would conduct further analysis from several possibilities, eliminating the less likely ones and narrowing the range.

This step was determined by the player's technical style. The player's style would also determine in what position and environment they could more fully exert their combat power.

Then another half of the possibilities were eliminated, and the audience took another look, and it was all correct again!

Terrible!

Too terrible!

The scene of the match was basically static. Not to mention fighting, even movement was rare. The TV broadcast simply gave each of Happy's four characters a close-up, piecing together a small four-frame image. Then, on the side was Tyranny's team analysis. When a certain place was mentioned, the camera would immediately give that place a close-up. The match broadcast seemed to have become an illustration for Tyranny's team channel chat.

But even so, the audience felt a chill. With incredibly clear logic, Tyranny's team had interpreted Happy's ambush.

After filtering based on the players' styles, they further filtered based on class combinations, offensive and defensive coordination, formation operation, and so on.

In the end, the positions of the four characters, six possibilities, only two of which could not be completely determined, but being able to deduce to this point was already amazing. Because the true positions of Happy's four characters were all among those six possibilities. As Tyranny's team deduced, the applause from the away team's audience seats came in wave after wave. Whenever the analysis was correct, it was bound to be a climax. And what about the Happy fans'阵地 (zhèn dì, battlefront)? It was all silent.

Happy's arrangement, Happy's ambush, was analyzed by the opponent standing in front of them, peeling it apart layer by layer, but Happy didn't make any moves.

Were they comparing patience?

But the opponent wasn't comparing patience with you! While you were being patient, the opponent had already seen through your entire plan!

An ambush that had been seen through was no longer an ambush. Based on the possible ambush formations, Tyranny quickly decided on their attack method.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Gunshots.

Again, it was the two gunner classes who took the lead, ignoring Lord Grim who was standing right in front of them, and instead pointing their guns at the seemingly empty forest and launching an attack.

Dancing Rain! (Mu Yu Cheng Feng)

The target of Tyranny's attack was unexpectedly the location of Dancing Rain. They didn't attack the most important healing character in the team match, nor did they attack Happy's rookie Luo Ji, who was making his debut in the playoffs and whose level wasn't very high-end. Tyranny's first target was actually the experienced Su Mucheng, the gunner with ranged attack advantages.

All the viewers were incredibly clear about the reason for this somewhat unbelievable choice.

Because they had seen the entire process of Tyranny's analysis and discussion.

The only reason to choose Dancing Rain as the first attack point was that Dancing Rain's position was the one they were most confident in judging!

Steady, eliminating mistakes, typical Zhang Xinjie style!
