Chapter 173 Starting from Positioning

Any attack starts with positioning. Positioning is achieved through selecting a position and maneuvering. Hindering or restricting the opponent's maneuverability is equivalent to fundamentally disrupting their offensive. The logic is simple.

Ye Xiu had clearly analyzed the problem, but Mo Fan on the field obviously hadn't realized the key to breaking this situation. Mo Fan, focused on scavenging, had honed the awareness and skills needed for scavenging to a considerable extent. Other than that, he seemed a bit behind. After joining Happy, he lacked communication due to his personality, relying entirely on self-study. Although he was now a registered professional player with some brilliant techniques, Mo Fan was lacking in theoretical knowledge.

In addition, Qin Muyun's strength lies in the most basic aspect of positioning, which is easily overlooked. So far, no reports about Qin Muyun have mentioned this highlight. Ye Xiu and the others didn't notice this at all in their limited preparations until they finally saw it at the match site.

So difficult to fight, unable to break free!

Mo Fan was in this vague state. He couldn't find why it was difficult to fight, why he couldn't break free. He didn't even have the awareness to look for it.

His awareness was very simple, which was to continue trying to break free. Deception kept running, but Zero Degrees Celsius seemed to be his satellite, constantly following him around, suppressing him with firepower.

"This idiot!" Chen Guo watched anxiously. Mo Fan's current style of play was to compete with Qin Muyun in positioning. Ye Xiu dared to say that Qin Muyun would be invincible in this regard, showing how big the gap was between the two. Wouldn't Mo Fan be killed by Qin Muyun with so little health?

Tang Rou lost the first match, which was a huge failure for her personally because her goal was to achieve a one-versus-three. But in terms of the individual competition, losing with 11% of her health remaining for the opponent wasn't too embarrassing. But now the second player from Happy couldn't do anything about this 11%, which was too embarrassing.

"Don't worry, this guy isn't as brainless as you think," Ye Xiu said, watching the match.

"What?" Chen Guo asked, puzzled.

"He's charging up a skill," Ye Xiu said.

"Huh? What is he trying to do?" Chen Guo didn't guess, but asked directly.

As a result, Mo Fan gave the answer with his actions.

Strong attack! A frontal strong attack.

The ninja class, which is supposed to be good at lurking and assassination, was now like a grenadier, rushing forward.

Smoke Bomb, Substitute Technique, Shadow Clone Technique, Gale Shuriken!

One ninja tool, one interference skill, one interference plus movement skill, and one projectile. Deception accurately grasped the timing and suddenly used four skills in succession. Zero Degrees Celsius's positioning was still not restricted or interfered with. Mo Fan didn't realize that the root of his difficulty lay in Zero Degrees Celsius's positioning. The purpose of these three skills was not for that at all.

Three skills, just to create an opening.

Ninpou? Shadow Dance!

All three skills were paving the way for this ultimate move.

Deception suddenly pounced on Zero Degrees Celsius. Zero Degrees Celsius maneuvered in the encirclement, and the brilliant positioning and footwork, which was just a starting point when attacking, was sometimes everything when defending. Zero Degrees Celsius actually broke out of the encirclement of the Shadow Dance.

But he also paid a certain price. His health was even lower.

Deception's offensive didn't end so quickly. Attack, attack, attack, continuous attacks.

Both sides' health was decreasing. Deception's was perhaps decreasing faster, but Zero Degrees Celsius's health was even lower.

"What a stupid method!" Ye Xiu exclaimed.

"Huh?" Chen Guo didn't understand.

"He's learning from Little Tang," Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo was stunned, and then took another look, suddenly realizing.

Qin Muyun was still the same Qin Muyun, but in the entanglement of the frontal strong attack with Tang Rou, although he won, he lost nearly 90% of his health. This showed that Tang Rou's play style put a lot of pressure on him.

Mo Fan couldn't see the key to the problem, but he watched the previous match and knew that this kind of play style could still consume the opponent's health. So he held back his skills and immediately began to attack strongly, although it was far less fierce than Tang Rou, but Zero Degrees Celsius's health wasn't much to begin with.

So this is a stupid method... Chen Guo thought, and looked at Tang Rou on the side. Ye Xiu was analyzing how Mo Fan should deal with a player like Qin Muyun, but wasn't he also telling Tang Rou?

In the end, Mo Fan won the victory, but Deception lost nearly half of his health. Compared to Zero Degrees Celsius's 11% health, Happy was still losing this match.

Happy's second player, Bai Yanfei, came on the field.

As a Tyranny player, you have to have some dominance. Bai Yanfei's Elementalist shouldn't be called Rota. That was completely a turret.

The Elementalist's attack range is not as good as the Gunner's, but in terms of attack range, magic surpasses technological weapons. The Rota character specializes in learning map-wide spells of light, dark, fire, and ice. He rushed to the middle of the map and didn't see Deception. He turned around and threw map-wide spells, blasting Deception's figure alive, and then blasting him to death...

Rota didn't lose much health, but Happy had already reached the final Baozi. After Baozi came on the field, his thoughts showed a few flashes of inspiration, but in the end, he didn't complete the feat of defeating two opponents in a row. Tyranny regained two points in the individual competition.

The Tyranny fans were naturally excited, shouting and screaming. On Happy's side, disappointment was inevitable, but the morale wasn't too low. After all, there weren't any embarrassing scenes in the match. The only thing that would make people feel awkward was probably Tang Rou, who declared that she would defeat three opponents in a row, but ended up losing in the first battle. However... Tang Rou is now a bit unpopular among Happy's fans. Seeing her stumble, many people didn't feel uncomfortable at all, so there weren't many people who felt embarrassed.

The post-match press conference was, as expected, mostly focused on the topic of the one-versus-three. Tyranny's answer was very Tyranny-like, giving a positive attitude to Tang Rou's bold words. This answer was obviously not what the media wanted. Currently, few media outlets are still on Tang Rou's side. It would be better to collect some mockery from other teams towards Tang Rou.

Tang Rou didn't attend Happy's press conference, but this question couldn't be avoided after all. But the few people who came on stage today were too much for the reporters to handle. Especially that Wei Chen, who didn't even play in the match, was sent to attend the press conference and talked eloquently on the seat. The question of one-versus-three was somehow diverted to the old alliance, and he talked nonsense for ten minutes. The reporters were dumbfounded...

The match between Happy and Tyranny left some excitement, but finally there were no more new explosive points. On the contrary, Tyranny, a newcomer and a core captain who didn't play in the team competition, suddenly became the center of people's debate.

In the same round, the most watched match between Blue Rain and Samsara had already produced a result. Blue Rain, who challenged Samsara away, failed to stop Samsara's strong momentum this season. The score was finally fixed at 3 to 7. Blue Rain scored 1 point in the individual competition and 2 points in the individual competition.

For two consecutive rounds, facing the two major powerhouses of the alliance, Samsara can be said to have been tested by true fire. Who can stop Samsara's heroic pace has become a new topic of discussion. Tyranny lost, Blue Rain lost, what's next? Tiny Herb, or Howling Heights?
