Glory [e-sports] - Chapter 283

How could the contestants on the field fail to understand the situation? CQsp8e

The audience’s hearts had already leapt up to their throats, and the scrolling comments were only rowdier now. “Oh no, oh no! Have the great and little demon kings noticed that there’s two teams yet?”

“Vision is required for e-sports. They must’ve seen it!”

“It’s useless even if they’ve noticed. It doesn’t look like they can get around it.”

“Two teams came. One team has a divine warrior and berserker thief, and the other team has a berserker thief and berserker warrior!” wgKM1n

“More melee teams? The Battlesong Plains attracts so many melee talents!”

“It’s the terrain! The Battlesong Plains is a place where, if you don’t use a close combat talent, you won’t even know how you died!”

Indeed, there was no cover in the Battlesong Plains. Even if players had mage or marksman talents on hand, it was impossible for them to prioritize developing them at this time.

If they pulled out an immortal warlock, they would be sent out of the game even before they could reach level six! VRols

That was why the team that Wei Xiao had just killed, as well as the teams who were rushing over, were all melee talents.

Close combat had both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage was that players had to get close in order to deal damage, which meant that Lu Feng and Wei Xiao still had a chance to pull away.

The disadvantage was that as long as they were close, then there was no way to avoid their opponents’ skills. With their current HP levels, they were sure to be the first to fall to the ground in a six-man brawl. OBIxzl

This wasn’t a matter of positioning but rather the limitation of the game mechanisms themselves. The system didn’t allow them any room to move around!

What were they to do?

Would the great and little demon kings really end their tour of the doubles competition in the outer zone?

They’d just taken First Blood and hadn’t even figured out their special skill yet. Was it all going to come to an end just like this? sDirhA

A fan spoke up reluctantly, “Too foul! They’re clearly targeting CQ!”

The announcement for First Blood was sent across the entire map, and the two teams who’d just arrived had naturally seen it very clearly. They didn’t need to communicate and were already tacitly in agreement.

––Kill CQ first, then continue to compete for victory.

The fans really couldn’t be blamed for shouting ‘foul’ and stirring up a fuss about unfairness. c2no8b

To put it bluntly, they were telling everyone out in the open that they wanted to fight four against two, and it was four people who were at full health fighting against two who were at half health!

But could this really be considered a foul or even unfair?

On the contrary, this was the ‘fairness’ that existed in brawl mode.

Taking First Blood or even snowballing one’s farm to snatch up equipment in the later stages would both run the risk of potentially getting swarmed and beaten up by the crowd. Q4MhjP

They’d already established an advantage. If fighting with uneven numbers wasn’t allowed, then how would there be any suspense in the game?

If players got lucky at the start and were able to take First Blood or pick up more equipment, wouldn’t they be able to crush their opponents all the way to the final round?

Where was the competitive spirit in that?

So, letting weaker groups fight with numbers was where true fairness lay. XCHkdJ

It wasn’t always a good thing to take First Blood and be the one to stand out right from the start.

The same could be said for the singles competition. The reason why Close had been relatively successful was that he’d made use of the complex terrain of the Moonlight Wetlands to accumulate points and also because other players had an unspoken reverence towards him.

Fear… Fear to the point of a lack of confidence to fight two against one…

Thus it had ended with the great demon king slaughtering his way across the Moonlight Wetlands. J SFrp

But the mentality of players in the doubles was truly different.

People were afraid of Close, but they weren’t scared of Quiet. There was no fear of the CQ combo when they were teamed up like this.
