Glory of tactics

Qiu Fei played very poorly in this game. In the ring competition, he was targeted.

The opponent used an almost rogue method, making full use of the map's advantages to limit the magic scholar's mobility, and patiently exchanged skills with him to drain away his health.

The technical advantages cannot be utilized, and the weakness of Ma Tao Xi Feng to prevent low blood and weak blood is fully exposed.

Magician's play style is already very extreme, and Ma Tao Zefeng's configuration goes even further. While it becomes extremely sharp, its weaknesses are also more obvious than in Wang Jiexi's original version. Just like an over-polished sword, it will lack toughness and be easily broken in the inevitable head-to-head battles.

Fortunately, the Whistling team game now has many changes, making it difficult to target effectively.

Lin Jingyan appeared on the stage, Fang Rui fought back the thieves, and Qiu Fei switched to the chaotic pattern battle mage. A series of changes disrupted the opponent's arrangement and put the whole team in poor condition. Finally, they won the team competition.

However, facing a weak team like Zhaohua, they only scored 6 points, and they were not satisfied with howling up and down.

However, they still maintained a complete victory, but they were being chased by Tiny Herb and Blue Rain behind them, and the gap between them and Tyranny in front of them was not widened.

However, in the next two rounds, it was not easy for Wuxiao to chase points.

Returning to the home game in the eighth round, Wuxiao faced Excellent Era.

Also in the free shipping area, one major disadvantage of away games, travel fatigue, is almost non-existent. Excellent Era can challenge Wu Howl in full condition.

The only advantage that Wuxiao can rely on is the home map selection. However, Excellent Era has another tactician master, so it is still unknown how useful this map can be.

Excellent Era is very strong now. In seven rounds, they had played Samsara, Blue Rain, and Tyranny, but they still scored 51 points, averaging as high as 7.29 per game. This efficiency is equivalent to last season's regular season runner-up Tiny Herb.

Although Wuxiao is 5 points ahead of Excellent Era, they have not even encountered a championship-level giant so far. The strongest opponents in the first seven rounds are only the Thunder and Void, who are in the first round of the playoffs. Wuxiao's current ranking is very high. Even though they have been ranked in the top three for several rounds, no one still regards Wuxiao as a strong team.

The prestige of a strong team is earned through hard work.

Only by defeating the established giants many times will Wuxiao be recognized as a new giant.

The showdown with Excellent Era was just the beginning of Wuxiao's battle to rectify his name.

In order to prepare for the match against Excellent Era, Lin Jingyan took Fang Rui and Qiu Fei and discussed it in the conference room for several afternoons. From the individual competition to the group competition, the formation and even the team competition tactics were changed again and again. It was not until Thursday night that the arrangements for the appearance were finally decided.

Competing for small points is naturally still the top priority.

For this reason, Lin Jingyan and Fang Rui appeared in the individual competition one after another, and the second game in the middle was given to Guo Yang.

Zhao Yuzhe and Guo Haoran partnered up for the first two rounds of the group competition, creating conditions for Qiu Fei to challenge Sun Xiang.

This setup is a bit risky.

If we want to secure the stage, at least one of Lin Jingyan and Fang Rui should switch Guo Haoran to the individual competition. Even more extreme, both of them compete in the ring competition, which is safer to score points.

And if he wants to ensure the individual competition, Qiu Fei should not have to sit in the ring.

If the strength is dispersed in two duels like this, it is very likely that both sides will come up with nothing and suffer a defeat in the first half.

Qiu Fei strongly advocated this plan. He gave Lin Jingyan a guarantee that he could defeat Sun Xiang and win two points in the arena no matter how difficult the situation was.

Lin Jingyan couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to agree, and finally decided on the lineup for the individual competition and the group competition.

Qiu Fei had no say in the arrangements for the team competition.

To be on the safe side, both Guo Yang and Guo Haoran lost their chance to play this time.

Replaced by breast rider Lin Zhenhe.

Although Lin Zhenhe has hardly played since the start of this season, the veteran's competitive form in training is pretty good. Lin Jingyan used him this time, hoping to use the Paladin's healing ability to slow down and prolong the pace of the game, wear down Excellent Era, and gain a chance of victory in the long game.

The match between Whistling Howls and Excellent Era is the only focus match of this round, so it is scheduled to be played on Sunday night.

In the previous day's game, Tyranny continued their crazy form, beating Huangfeng 9:1 and continuing to lead the standings with a complete victory.

Blue Rain defeated Feng Luo 2:8 in the away game and continued to rank second, but they were already 10 points ahead of Tyranny.

Who can stop Tyranny? For a time, this issue became the hottest topic in the media.

Misty Rain, Excellent Era, and Tiny Herb have already suffered defeats, and they will have to wait until the tenth, eleventh, and thirteenth rounds before Tyranny will encounter Blue Rain, Samsara, and Howl one after another. Before this, it seemed that no one could stop the four kings of Tyranny.

Facing the power of Tyranny, some people and teams trembled, surrendered, and evaded, while others were excited and eagerly awaiting the day of the duel.

Compared to Lan Yu and Samsara, who were aiming to win the championship, the members of the Wind Howl team didn't feel much about this. Only Qiu Fei was filled with excitement when he saw Tyranny's heroic performance.

What others were focusing on was the imminent showdown with Excellent Era and the challenge to Samsara later on.

Excellent Era, which had completed its reorganization, came from a bad start. The first person to appear in the individual competition was their vice-captain, All-Star player, and one of the four great tactician masters, Xiao Shiqin.

Xiao Shiqin's personal strength is not outstanding among all-star players. If he faced Fang Rui or Qiu Fei, he would have a big chance of losing. However, in this round, Xiao Shiqin's opponent was the aging Lin Jingyan.

Lin Jingyan's carefully prepared home field map was deciphered by Xiao Shiqin with the help of electronic eyes and various self-propelled machines. And the competitive state he worked so hard to maintain was constantly being worn away by waves of tests from his opponents.

Xiao Shiqin playing like this has never appeared before.

In the past, as the leader of the first team and mainly in charge of the ring, Xiao Shiqin had no chance to use such extravagant tactics. In the arena competition, there is often a one-on-one battle, and every ounce of mana used in the destruction of life needs to be carefully calculated and distributed reasonably. It is really the first time to see such a mana being used so wantonly and without any regard for battery life.

After seventeen minutes of fierce fighting, the duel came to an end.

Lin Jingyan took a long breath. When he pushed the door open and walked out of the competition room, he found Xiao Shiqin waiting at the door without leaving.

Seeing Lin Jingyan coming out, Xiao Shiqin stretched out his hands to hold each other's hands and said, "Senior is amazing. I almost failed to follow through on that final attack just now."

Lin Jingyan shook hands with him and said with a sad smile: "Old man!"
