Chapter 93:

The best of five game officially started.

In the second half of the regular season, Saint played beautifully and wonderfully in every game. The fans were very confident. Before the game, the cheers of Saint’s fans almost crushed NSN’s. The commentators were also very optimistic about Saint. The match had just started but the commentators had already praised each member of Team Saint from head to toe. The director also displayed a vote prediction by the game players and Saint was predicted to win with over 70% of the votes.

Most people were optimistic about Saint. But looking carefully at the expressions of the players on the stage right now, Saint’s expression was grave while NSN’s players looked more relaxed.

At the beginning of the season, Wawa had studied with Yu Sui and was fascinated by his assassin-type play. During the regular season, he was also very erratic. Most of the time, he imitated Yu Sui’s routines. However, because he was became a monk late in life, whether in terms of personal ability or teamwork, neither of those aspects could keep up. As a result NSN ate some losses. When the two teams met during the regular season, Saint was specifically targeting Wawa. Saint borrowed a little bit of the tactics they had used when playing against Yu Sui’s team before and had all four of their players rush up instead of leaving their sniper in the back row. Every time they clashed, without even a second’s thought, they would go in for the medic.  It didn’t matter if they’d lose the greater part of their health in the attack; they would just rely on Angel Sword’s milktank abilities afterwards.  Then, relying on the Angel Sword, this blood bank, they would cut down NSN’s front row strikers.  There were times, when Wawa barely had time to see the person clearly before he was killed once again. In the second half of the game, Wawa was like a frightened bird, he would subconsciously hide whenever he encountered anyone. He made more and more mistakes in the later stage and Saint completely controlled the rhythm of the game.

The commentators also discussed before the start of the game and felt that Wawa might once again become a weak point for NSN. However, as soon as the game started, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Wawa completely abandoned his ups and downs during the regular season. He had completely cast aside the assassin-medic play he had practiced for more than half a season and followed closely behind Gu Gan as an invisible nurse. Not to mention, appearing on the front row, he didn’t even show his head at all. Saint launched attacks several times to find Wawa and cause trouble. But no matter how they positioned themselves, they weren’t able see hide nor hair of Wawa.

It wasn’t only Wawa’s style of play that had changed. NSN had also gave up on their habitual tactic of having Wawa go with Gu Gan to the front row. They had their other striker, Xinran, stay by his side the entire game, clearing the fog. NSN’s two strikers and medic formed a team together. They no longer rushed to clear the fog. They were playing a defensive game and no longer gave Saint any chance to kill their medic.

In the stadium seats, Shi Luo whispered, “You really shouldn’t expose so much in the regular season…”

“Look at Old A.” Yu Sui whispered, “Look at his position.”

There were two strikers in a team. Rarely were they like Shi Luo and Chen Huo, whose personal abilities were basically of the same level, enabling them to advance with simultaneous force throughout the entire way. In other teams, among the two strikers, there would always be one who’s a bit stronger; such as Gu Gan in NSN; such as Old A in Saint.

In the game, every time the two parties exchange fire in the fog, it was a matter as quick as the flash of flint. It can be over in less than ten seconds when they were playing to the very limit of their abilities. During the first seconds of their initial clash, no one could afford even a second of delay. Who was  able to destroy the opponent’s shield and deal real damage at the earliest was of vital importance. The response speed and operation ability demanded of the strikers were extremely high. Therefore, the striker with the better personal skills will usually take on the role of main output every time the two sides battled each other. This striker would also be the one the medic would prioritize protecting. Ordinarily, for Saint, Old A will always grab the output position with the maximum point of view whenever Saint encounters a battle. Their other striker will automatically adjust his position to help Old A plug up any holes. However, today, the two swapped positions.
