The Failed Knight of Full-Time Master

While the commentator was introducing the features of the map, the players of Team Thunder were already sitting in front of their computers, completing their final warm-up.

During the break, Yang Xinyue forced An Ning to put on the muscle tape on her hands.

To be honest, An Ning hasn't done this kind of thing for a long time.

If it hadn't been posted before, An Ning probably wouldn't be able to adapt, which would have affected her performance in the competition.

However, An Ning also understood Yang Xinyue's thoughts.

Yang Xinyue was still frightened by the incident with Sun Zheping before.

After all, An Ning also suffered a hand injury like Sun Zheping, and he also recovered after treatment.

But after Sun Zheping showed abnormal behavior again today, Yang Xinyue became a little worried, so she forced An Ning to wear this set of things again.

"But, Brother An, doesn't Sister Yang have any flesh-colored ones?"

Before going on stage, Dai Yanqi asked this question when she saw An Ning applying the muscle tape on herself.

"No way, this is the only one."

An Ning also shook her head.

The muscle tape that Yang Xinyue gave herself is pure black.

It looks exactly like that...

"But he's pretty handsome. He looks like the protagonist of some game."

Chu Yunxiu was also marveling at the sight.

And this point was indeed noticed by the commentator on the field.

"We can see that Sun Zheping also has a muscle tape applied to his side. It seems that the situation just now is not optimistic."

The first person Pan Lin noticed was actually Sun Zheping from the Happy Team.

It was only then when introducing the starting lineup of the Thunder Team that he noticed An Ning's hand.

"Contestant An Ning...seems to have something stuck on him. Could it be that An Ning is also injured? This is definitely not good news for the Thunder team."

Pan Lin also said this.

Sun Zheping is indeed very important to the Xingxin team, but he is not irreplaceable.

Therefore, even if they are unable to continue due to injuries, at worst they can just replace them with Tang Rou or Qiao Yifan, who can still produce good results.

But the situation is different for the Thunder. If An Ning really misses the playoffs again due to injury, then the Thunder will probably have little chance of winning.

But to be honest, after An Ning saw the muscle patch on his hand, he suddenly had an idea.

Although it may not be used in this game.

But this is already the finals for both teams.

If Xingxin team's goal is to win the championship, then they will definitely choose to review this game after it is over.

Then through the live broadcast replay, you will naturally notice that An Ning is now wearing a muscle tape on his hand.

Therefore, the Thunder can take advantage of this and do something fancy in the next game.

But the prerequisite is that the Xingxin team cannot see through this.

After the commentator mentioned the muscle tape on An Ning's hand, the Thunder fans in the audience couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Although the fans of the Thunder team are very Buddhist, it does not mean that they have no thoughts about the championship that is already within reach.

I am a Buddhist, but if I can win the championship, I will win it.

It’s just that Thunder fans are more worried about An Ning’s physical condition.

They know that the Thunder team is now on the right track. Even if they cannot win the championship this year, they will win the championship sooner or later. If players are really injured because of this game, it would be better to give up this year and prepare for next year with all their strength.

If An Ning didn't show anything, they would definitely cheer for the Thunder team players.

Now that An Ning is wearing such obvious muscle patches, they really can't feel at ease.

"Okay, both players are ready, the game officially begins."

No matter how worried the commentators and spectators are, the game will not wait for anyone.

Therefore, after the players on both sides have completed their preparations before the start of the game, the referee also signaled to the commentator that the game can begin.

As the commentary ended, players from both teams appeared at the spawn points on both sides of the map.

It was also said that this map was an ancient city located on the edge of a cliff, and only half of the area of ​​the entire ancient city could be used for combat. As for the rest of the area, it was not possible to jump over it, so naturally there was no way to use it.

In this game, the birth points of both sides are distributed on the left and right sides of the ancient city. That is to say, if both sides want to use the buildings in the ancient city to fight guerrilla warfare, both sides will need to run around the map for a period of time to do so.

It can be said that this map is already a fairly fair map, with the advantages and disadvantages of both sides being very obvious.

The Xingxin team can use these complex terrains to set traps and launch sneak attacks at the same time.

The elemental mages and mechanics on the Thunder Team's side can use the hills and ravines as cover to release their skills in corners that the Happy Team cannot see.

But even so, both teams will still choose to compete for the center of the map.

After all, although it is a dilapidated ancient city, it still has terrain advantages that can be utilized.

The Happy team has Su Mucheng, the gunner.

On the Thunder Team's side, Lu Yining, Xiao Shiqin, and Chu Yunxiu are all ranged professions, so they naturally need a high point advantage to help release their skills.

"But in this match, the Thunder team doesn't seem to be in a hurry to fight for the center of the map."

Pan Lin also noticed this quickly and spoke directly.

After all, according to the Thunder Team's previous playing style, they would actively choose to move forward. Even if their movement speed was not as fast as the opponent, the Thunder Team would not stop and would at least look for a second-best location to counterattack.

Today, the Thunder team seemed to have changed their style of play and actually chose such a conservative strategy.

It felt like watching the Thunder play a few years ago.

Those were the years when Xiao Shiqin used the average "hand" in his hand to produce brilliant results.

The last time the Thunder played so conservatively was in the eighth season when they were once in the relegation zone.

After An Ning joined the Thunder Team, the Thunder Team's playing style became a little more unrestrained. Now it is rare to see the Thunder Team shrinking back and using defensive counterattack tactics.

Especially in the tenth season, after Xiao Shiqin returned to the Thunder Team, and cooperated with Chu Yunxiu and An Ning to form an iron triangle lineup, even if the overall playing style was very stable, it would gradually turn into a situation of eroding the opponent.

"It can only be said that the pressure that Team Happy put on Team Thunder was very great, forcing them to choose a more conservative strategy."

Li Yibo explained.

While the Thunder Team was defending, several members of the Thunder Team were not doing nothing.

Chu Yunxiu and Lu Yining were watching the players of Team Xingxin appearing at the high point the whole time.

When he arrived at Xiao Shiqin, he temporarily found a place where he would not be seen by the Xingxin team. He summoned several of his mechanical beasts to explore the way when the time came.

As for An Ning, he was standing still and controlling the character, constantly operating the keyboard and mouse.

It's not about releasing skills, but simply maintaining his hand speed so that he can be in good condition when fighting with top players like Sun Zheping or Ye Xiu.

"is that OK?"

Although Yang Xinyue had asked An Ning to apply the muscle patch only out of concern, Chu Yunxiu was still a little worried at this moment. "Don't worry."

An Ning said.

Afterwards, the shield raising and canceling operations were continued.

In the previous games, it was okay not to keep the hot hand, but considering that the opponent in this game was Ye Xiu, An Ning decided to show his sincerity.

"On Team Xingxin's side, Fang Rui has already chosen to act separately from the rest of Team Xingxin."

On the Happy Team's side, not long after the game started, Fang Rui secretly set up a trap.

"Mucheng, go to a higher point first!"

Ye Xiu also said to Su Mucheng.

"it is good."

Su Mucheng agreed and started moving.

"Old Zhao, you just take care of Xiao An."

Ye Xiu then said to Zhao Yang.

For now, Zhao Yang can't play any role.

Therefore, Ye Xiu also asked Zhao Yang to be responsible for protecting An Wenyi.

After all, no one knows whether the Thunder Team will choose to use the decapitation tactics against the Happy Team in this game.

If the Thunder team really uses this tactic, then Zhao Yang, a veteran player with many years of experience, can be trusted as the back line.

"learn."

Zhao Yang also agreed.

Zhao Yang also knew that at this stage, he would not be able to make any significant contribution.

Protecting the back row is all Zhao Yang can do now.

"If this continues, the Thunder Team will probably be at a great disadvantage."

Pan Lin also explained.

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, Team Xingxin has a gunner here. If Team Thunder chooses to use strong bows to fight the opponent head-on, the situation will probably be worse. Now, although we have lost the advantage of the high point, as long as we don't move to the center of the map, the high point occupied by Team Xingxin will be meaningless."

Jiang Botao also expressed his own analysis.

Compared to Pan Lin and Li Yibo's superficial and one-sided interpretation of the game, Jiang Botao's interpretation was more detailed and more accurate.

"I see."

Pan Lin also suddenly realized.

Yes, as long as you don’t go to an area where you might be attacked by the enemy, it won’t be of much use even if the enemy occupies a high point.

So that's how it is. Xiao Shiqin had been acting with this idea in mind from the very beginning.

No wonder the players on the Thunder Team didn't have any worries.

"It's been four minutes now. The thieves on the other side have probably set up a trap."

As soon as the time came, An Ning immediately spoke in the channel.

"Okay, let's go explore the way first. Remember, follow the mechanical beast and don't expose your body. If you encounter the opponent, contain it if you can, otherwise give up."

Before taking action, Xiao Shiqin also gave some instructions to the members of the Thunder Team.

"rest assured."

An Ning also agreed.

Then, Xiao Shiqin, An Ning and Chu Yunxiu followed the three mechanical beasts and started moving.

Lu Yining, on the other hand, just stayed near the birth point and continued to observe the movements of the other side. While protecting the priest Qin Jingyin, he was responsible for providing long-range support to Lei Ting and others.

However, everyone in Thunder knew that the opponent brought out this map in order to take advantage of the map and firmly defeat them. Therefore, they would most likely not choose to actively fight in a place without a high point advantage.

At most, there would be only one Ye Xiu down there.

The reason why Xiao Shiqin said that it was possible to meet his opponent...

That means Ye Xiu.

Apart from this, the only other possibility was Fang Rui who set the trap below.

After setting the trap, it is possible that Fang Rui will not choose to return to Team Xingxin's location.

After all, the profession of thief itself relies on traps to fight.

It is still possible that Fang Rui does not choose to go back and stays down to fight.

"I see. The Thunder Team is planning to use the units summoned by Xiao Shiqin to explore the way."

After seeing the actions of An Ning and other two players from the Thunder Team, the commentator also reacted.

I see. As long as I use the summoned units to trigger the trap, there will be no problem.

After each trap was triggered, An Ning, Xiao Shiqin, and Chu Yunxiu directly wrote down the triggered traps in the chat channel.

"My traps were all triggered by the things they summoned."

Fang Rui also talked to Ye Xiu in the channel.

At this time, Ye Xiu, along with the rest of the Happy Team players, had successfully occupied the ancient city in the center of the map.

But after reaching the highest point, Su Mucheng discovered that the Thunder Team had no intention of competing with her for the highest point.

At the same time, Fang Rui also received news that all his traps had been eliminated.

"Hide first, I'll be right there."

Ye Xiu finished speaking, and then said something to Su Mucheng.

"If the enemy character appears later, just fire directly."

"Old Zhao, come with me!"

Although this ancient city is in very dilapidated condition, the only way to enter the city is through the main gate. Therefore, under the current situation, even if the Thunder Team divides its forces to launch a sneak attack, they will not be able to directly launch a sneak attack on An Wenyi.

With Su Mucheng looking over the entire map, the situation is relatively stable.

So Ye Xiu took Zhao Yang and started moving towards Fang Rui's location.

"It looks like the two sides are going to have a 3v3 team battle."

Pan Lin also said this.

"But for now, although Su Mucheng's position makes it difficult for her to attack the three Lei Tings, she is still able to provide long-range support. Therefore, if a battle breaks out here, Lei Ting will be at a disadvantage."

Li Yibo also expressed his own guess.

"That's right. This depends on whether Lu Yining, the sharpshooter of the Thunder Team, can find a suitable high point to provide support to the Thunder Team."

Jiang Botao on the other side also spoke. (End of this chapter)
