Glory of tactics

Forming a team is both simple and difficult.

To say simple is really simple. Because the player base of Glory is quite large, in the tens of millions, it is easy to recruit a group of friends who are willing to form a team.

A total of more than 17,000 teams have signed up for this season’s offline challenge. Although quite a few of them just make up the numbers and have fun, the sheer number of teams is also evident.

It's hard to say it's difficult, but it's actually very difficult. This means that it is extremely difficult to develop a team to a professional level.

The foundation of a team is players, but it is not possible to develop into a professional team just by gathering six players.

Just like Yi Zhan, although the five bosses are the unbeatable main force, they still need a lot of rotations and substitute players to fill the quota for various competitions, as well as enrich the changes in tactics.

Having people is only the first step. Next, we have to worry about the team’s logistical support.

The computer room for training and the conference room for analyzing tactics are the most basic facilities.

Next, we need to rent a stadium as our home court.

Then there is the team’s food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The team uniform is the facade

Even if you can't be good-looking and handsome, you still need to make a group of otakus look energetic. Otherwise, advertising, sponsorship, and these commercial developments will have problems.

Diet is also a top priority.

At the beginning of the league, a team once went to Chang'an to play Void away. A group of people went to the night market to drink mutton soup. As a result, they all fell into the trap. They were all so pissed that they couldn't even leave the hotel where they were staying. In the end, even the number of people who played in the game was reduced. If not, the result will be a direct loss.

There are also things to pay attention to when living.

It is best to have a building as a base. From your residence to the training ground, you only need to go up and down the stairs.

On the one hand, it saves time, and on the other hand, it also avoids accidents during commuting.

When playing away games, it takes some effort to find a hotel that has the conditions for training and is not far from the competition venue. In addition, we must guard against some extreme fans who may interfere with the team's normal rest, preparation and training.

The mode of travel is even more of a major expense.

Alliance teams are spread across the country, from Qingcao in the northeast to Baihua in the southwest, and from Void in the northwest to Blue Rain in the southeast, covering thousands of kilometers in length and breadth.

If you only rely on cars and trains, you will be on the road for most of the week.

Only by traveling by expensive plane can the impact of the trip on the team's status be as minimal as possible.

At the same time, the league is a home and away game system, and there is a long trip almost every two weeks. If there is no dedicated person to be responsible for the travel, then every away game will be a disaster.

After counting the main places where money is spent, there are two parts: finance, which manages money, and marketing, which makes money, as well as the personnel and medical departments, which directly serve players, and the equipment department, which prepares characters.

Finally, the team also needs its own verbal and promotional department, as well as a union department to unite fans.

There are two ways for new teams to enter the league, especially challenge competition and application.

The Challenge Champion will receive official support from the league to solve most of the above needs, including the home venues where connections are most needed.

However, these benefits have always been a decoration. Since the beginning of this event, the championship of the challenge has always been won by professional teams that have been relegated before, without exception. It’s no surprise that this competition is nicknamed the Easter Tournament.

For newly formed teams, the difficulty of applying will be lower because the competitors are all about the same strength.

The difficulty of this path is not how to meet the league's hard requirements for professional teams, but how to give investors confidence that the team can gain a firm foothold after entering the professional league and not be relegated after playing only one season. The money was wasted.

The reason why Mr. Guo and his team are still gathering and looking for people to play practice matches is precisely because they want to build up their confidence.

Run the team together, test its strength, and evaluate the possibility of staying in the league.

Baihua is not only a powerful and declining giant, but also because the challenge has come to an end and there will be no more competition tasks for several months. Therefore, this team, which has not yet decided on a name, specially came to challenge them during the Chinese New Year.

They had already played against Baihua's youth training camp a year ago and won 7:3. It was also expected that in this second game, formal professional players would join.

But they never expected that the suspected professional player who appeared in Baihua's lineup would be so powerful. The two of them, Guo Shao and Jia Xing, who were so strong that they were the strongest, joined forces and were defeated by the same person in a short period of time!

Qiu Fei's strength as a boxer was two levels lower than that of a battle mage or magic scholar.

With the level of Guo Shao and Jia Xing, they can still fight hard if they fight hard.

However, they were at a disadvantage because Qiu Fei watched Guo Shao's duel in advance and were already prepared for his strength and playing style.

Jia Xing, who ambushed him, happened to be using the battle mage that Qiu Fei was most familiar with.

After entering and exiting, neither of them had really seen the strength of the King of Fighters, so they naturally felt that Qiu Fei's level was unattainable.

Out of fear, Guo Shao and Jia Xing, who lacked competition experience, both experienced a certain decline in their competition status. Although the two of them got together relying on tacit understanding and familiarity with the map, they were still punched and kicked by Qiu Fei, forcing them to retreat until the healer came over and stabilized their position.

Huang Wenxiu, the operator of Elemental Mage Lu Luo, is also technically a good player. One-on-one, Deng Weiyi's ammunition expert was beaten so hard that he almost lost his life.

Because Mr. Guo's Beike was knocked over by Qiu Fei, Shang Ju had time to climb up a tall building and fired continuous long-distance cover, saving the backlight bomb. Then he and Rouleau exchanged fire remotely and got entangled.

The boxing master Wang Chuan secretly attacked Baihua's priest, but was stopped by Song Ping'an. The two had fought against each other last time and knew that they were of equal skill and could not defeat each other in a short period of time, so they both played with restraint.

Wangchuan did not use steel and iron bones, and the assassin squinted his eyes. Even though the priest was by his side, he did not dare to use a life-saving blow.

The operator of Wangchuan is named Wang Chuan, the same one who laughed at Jia Xing for daydreaming. His style tends to be obscene, and he fights very hard. He keeps walking around the priest, making it clear that he has not given up yet and is looking for an opportunity to kill Liu Nanan's priest.

The assassin's footsteps were slightly faster than that of the boxer. Song Ping'an couldn't stand the harassment and chased after him, but because he was unfamiliar with the terrain, he went around and lost him.

Seeing no one, he immediately knew something was wrong and ran back at a high speed. As a result, he surrendered an extra hand like a shadow, and finally stopped the boxing master for the second time in a narrow and dangerous way.

Due to his haste, Song Ping'an showed his flaw, and was caught by Wangchuan and fell into the nearby earthen house.

Liu Nanan was obedient. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately moved and escaped.
