The coach of the German team, Clemens, had been coaching for many years and had rich experience. He watched the game from a godâs perspective on the coachâs seat and saw at a glance what was wrong with the Chinese teamâs lineup. The key to the Chinese team wasnât the sniper, charger, and assaulter, but the scout and medic.
The scout reported the locations as quickly as possible, finding the German teamâs medic. Then her teammates double-teamed to kill the medic. China took advantage of the other side having no medic and that their side could be resurrected with the medic to fight against the German teamâs front row. Even if they died, the medic could still save them. In the end, a situation of a numerical advantage was formed, and the game was won.
Clemens came to the soundproof room and immediately whispered to the players, âThe core of the Chinese team are the scout and medic. Donât worry about their front row and sniper. Kill the scout as quickly as possible. Then find a way to form a group and rush over to get rid of the enemy medic.â
Everyone suddenly realized. No wonder why the Chinese teamâs scout didnât show up in the last round. It turned out to be an auxiliary scout style of play. The scout reported locations from the outside.
The German scout Weber nodded and said, âI understand. Iâll find Snow first.â
After the timeout, the coaches of both sides returned to the preparation area.
According to the rules of the World Series, in a BO3 match, each coach only had two opportunities for timeouts. A timeout could only be used at the end of a small round. There was no way to call a timeout when both sides were still fighting. Since the pace of a shooting game was too fast, the players sometimes couldnât react. The coaches had to use the opportunity of a timeout to adjust the teamâs state.
Clemensâ timeout was timely and allowed the players to find their thoughts.
The second round officially began. The players of both sides were refreshed at the birth point. This time, the German team really learned how to be smart. The scout Weber quickly circled around the outskirts, wanting to find Qin Xueyao first.
The fish tanks in the Aquarium map were made of bulletproof glass. The blue light of the roof dyed the water in the glass, and beautiful fish would also interfere with line of sight. However, the glass had a certain degree of transparency. In addition to listening to footsteps, the scouts could see the afterimage of their opponents through the glass.
Not long after the start of the game, Weber saw a black afterimage flashing in the southwest direction. He quickly detoured to catch up. As he walked around a corner, he found Snow, the scout of the Chinese team.
Qin Xueyao moved quickly between fish tanks like a nimble little fish. Weber couldnât catch up with her for a while. The two of them chased after each other in the lower left corner of the map before Weber said, âFrank, stop her at 8 oâclock!â
Hearing his teammateâs words, Frank hurried around from the other direction.
Qin Xueyao might have excellent positioning skills, but she was double-teamed by the opponent. Her whereabouts were quickly exposed. When passing a corner, Qin Xueyao heard footsteps ahead of her and immediately pulled the trigger.
Bang, bang!
Gunshots rang out almost simultaneously.
[âCHN-Snowâ has used the Sand Eagle-Ice Flame to hit âGER-Frankâ.]
[âGER-Wberâ has used the Sand Eagle-Gold Dual Wieldâ to kill âCHN-Snowâ with a headshot!]
Qin Xueyao shot the enemy assaulter but was shot in the head by the scout behind her.
Her marksmanship was still a bit lacking compared to the worldâs top scout player. The bullet hit the opponentâs neck and deflected a bit. It failed to kill the opponent and only decreased the opponentâs health to half.
The moment she died, the German teamâs assaulter, charger, and scout rushed forward in a group. Hua Ran and Xia Li joined forces to resist for a while. Both sides had deaths and injuries, but in the end, the Chinese team was killed by the German team 3 for 5. The German team won a game.
The score was 1:1.
Qin Xueyao said in an ashamed manner, âIt is my fault. I died too early.â
Mo Hantian said, âI canât blame you. The two people on the enemy side specially aimed for you. It is normal that you canât fight 1 against 2.â He took a deep breath and continued, âIn the next game, Bibin will follow Xueyao and come to the rescue at any time!â
In the third round, the battle strategy of the German team was very clear. It was better to kill the scout. Fortunately, Shi Xiaobin followed Qin Xueyao and was able to save Xueyao immediately after she was killed. However, this time, Germany actually came directly to the left side of the map with three people. They took a triangle position and killed Shi Xiaobin and Qin Xueyao in one go!
Mo Hantian went with Hua Ran to the right, but it was useless. A sniper didnât have much effect on this map. Once Xueyao and Shi Xiaobin died, they faced the dilemma of 3 against 5. The group was destroyed after struggling for a while.
The score was 2:1, and the German team overtook them.
In the audience area, Clemens had a smile on his face again.
The assistant coach said in a low voice, âSure enough, they canât fight once the scout is killed first.â
Clemens said with a smile, âThe scout acts as their eyes. This scout player moved very well but canât cope with the encirclement of two or even four people.â
After all, Germany won third place last year and was a strong team in the European division. Both the players and coaches had some means. Clemensâ eyes were vicious, and it wasnât surprising that he could see through Chinaâs playing style.
In the coachâs seat next door, Jiang Shaoyu didnât call a timeout.
The fourth game was about to start, and it was the German teamâs game point.
The netizens in the live stream room were dying of anxiety.
[Germany is already 2:1. If they win another game, they will win this map.]
[Coach Jiang, wonât you use a timeout to adjust it?]
[Xueyao is always killed. The German team seems to have grasped the key to our tactics!]
[Coach Jiang doesnât plan to use a timeout. Does he want to give up on this game?]
[Mo Hantian also only killed the enemy scout in the first game. He didnât even fire a shot in the second and third games.]
[What is Mo Hantian doing? I donât understand. I feel like he is playing in a mess!]
At this moment, Mo Hantianâs mind was indeed a bit messed up. He was still inexperienced in commanding. Facing a situation where a certain player on his side was being frequently targeted by Germany, he couldnât think of a way to break the situation for a while.
The German team was too fast!
After all, they were last yearâs third place and a veteran team in Europe. Their strongest point was their charger, but the scout, assaulter, sniper, and medic werenât weak either. They were all world-class players.
What to do? How should he adjust his tactics?
If it was Fred, he would definitely be able to find a way. Mo Hantian was still weak!
Mo Hantianâs eyes were red as he gritted his teeth. âXueyao will be bait. Drag them around and turn them around! Go to the lower left corner area to find the fish tank with the jellyfish!â
Qin Xueyao replied, âI got it.â
The moment the game started, Qin Xueyao walked toward the lower left corner as usual. The German team came to surround her. Apart from the long-range sniper, all the other four players arrived, and Qin Xueyao was killed almost instantly.
Hua Ran and Xia Li rushed to the scene at this time and fought against the front row of the German team. After some deafening gunshots, Hua Ran and Xia Li fell to the ground one after another. Two German team players were also killed.
Mo Hantian ordered, âBinbin, go and save them!â
Shi Xiaobin carried the bulletproof light plate to rescue people while Mo Hantian covered him with long-range firepower.
However, the moment when Shi Xiaobin was about to raise a teammate, there was suddenly the sound of footsteps behind Mo Hantian. He instinctively turned around and heard a clear gunshot in his ears.
Bang!
[âGER-Wberâ has used the Sand Eagle-Gold Dual Wieldâ to kill âCHN-Devilâ with a headshot!]
In the first game, Mo Hantian suddenly turned around to deal with the German scout. In this round, the German scout took advantage of Mo Hantianâs attention being on the front row to circle back and kill Mo Hantian.
Mo Hantian felt a chill go down his spine.
Once the sniper died, Shi Xiaobin was like a sheep in a pack of wolves. He was surrounded by the German charger and assaulter. His bulletproof light plate was broken by storm-like bullets. His helmet was also broken by the enemy sniper.
After Shi Xiaobinâs death, the German team won the game.
The small gameâs score on the screen became 3:1.
Germany won their home map of Aquarium and got 1 point first!
Jiang Shaoyu stepped onto the big stage and came to the soundproof room.
Mo Hantian was apologizing to everyone. âIâm sorry, I reacted too slowly.â
If he had reacted faster in that wave just now and killed the enemy scout first, the outcome wouldnât have been certain. Under the cover of his firepower, Xiao Bin couldâve saved people faster, and there would still be a chance of winning.
He also made a mistake in his command. Xueyao shouldnât have gone to the lower left corner. It was better to go to the lower right corner. It was closer to Hua Hua, and Hua Hua could cover her immediately.
However, he hadnât thought about those details at the time, and it was useless to think about it afterwards.
Everyone had trained hard for so long, but they lost this game because of a small mistake on the fieldâ¦
It was all his fault!
The more Mo Hantian thought about it, the sadder he became. Tears appeared in his eyes.
When Jiang Shaoyu walked to his side, what he saw was the tearful Mo Hantian. Jiang Shaoyu reached out a hand, patting Mo Hantianâs shoulder. âWhy? Do you want to cry again?â
Mo Hantian was about to cry. Then when he was hit on the shoulder by the coach, his face suddenly turned red.
F*k, how shameful!
Why did he cry when he was an alpha?
When he played against the US team last time, he walked off the big stage crying and was scolded by netizens with words like âPrincess Moâ, âAmbassador of persuading people to quit Gun Kingâ and âlittle crybaby with a broken glass heartâ for a whole year.
Was he going to repeat the same mistakes today?
Mo Hantian sniffed hard and forced back his tears. It was just that his eye sockets were a bit red.
Jiang Shaoyu recalled the scene where Xiao Mo cried and commanded at the CIP Club. In fact, Mo Hantianâs tears threshold was low. If he didnât play well, he was prone to self-blame, grievance, and tears. The strange thing was that when he cried, it didnât affect his judgment in the game. In fact, the harder he cried, the harder he fought.
âSince Xueyao is being targeted by the opponent, canât you change the core?â Jiang Shaoyu lowered his head, met Mo Hantianâs wet and red eyes, and said clearly, âCan you fight with the sniper core?â
Sniper core? The coach actually let him play the sniper core? Wasnât the coach afraid that he would continue losing? Facing Jiang Shaoyuâs calm gaze, Mo Hantian gritted his teeth. His voice trembled, but his eyes were firm. âI can fight!â
Jiang Shaoyu nodded. âVery good. The next game is our home game. I wonât make any substitutions. It will still be the five of you.â
Not changing players showed that Coach Jiang still trusted them. He let them play the second game despite losing the first game. This was the greatest recognition for them!
The guerrilla warfare of the sniper core, the attrition warfare of the medic core, the chaotic front row style of Hua Hua and Xia Li⦠the five of them had been training so long, and there was naturally more than one tactic!
It was just that the pace of the German team was too fast just now, and they werenât used to it for a while.
He remembered how the Chinese national team was ridiculed and ignored at the Asian Championship, and reported and slandered in the World Series. No matter where they went, they would be met with contempt and questioning eyes.
What else was there to be afraid of? Since Coach Jiang wouldnât replace them, just go all out and fight!
Jiang Shaoyu said, âOkay, clean up your mood and prepare for the second game. Donât worry about winning or losing. Let me see the results of your training during this time.â
Everyone replied in unison, âWe understand!â
There was a short break, and the second game officially began.
This time, it was the home game of the Chinese team.
Coach Clemensâ understanding of the Chinese national team only stopped at the Asian Championship. Jiang Shaoyu chose the Endless Bloody Battle mode, and Clemens immediately banned the three maps used by the Chinese team in the Asian Championship, namely the Ghost Castle, Winding Corridor, and Hope Port.
Jiang Shaoyu chose a new map: Food Pedestrian Street.
Domestic netizens were immediately excited when they saw this map appear.
[This map is quite complicated. There were two food streets and many stores to hide in.]
[Coach Jiang didnât change people? He is continuing to let these newcomers play the second game?]
[I donât understand what he is thinking. Isnât Fred much better than Princess Mo?]
[Princess Mo seems to be crying again. His eyes are red.]
At this time, the camera happened to be given to the Chinese team. The scene of Mo Hantianâs red eyes appeared on the big screen as well as the live stream rooms of the competition in various countries.
The two commentators at the scene couldnât help laughing. âIs Chinaâs player crying?â
âI have an impression of this Devil. He lost the group stage last year and walked off stage crying.â
âI didnât expect that he would cry again this year. He looks very aggrieved.â
The audience: ââ¦â¦â
They heard he was an alpha. It was too outrageous.
The domestic audience was also very speechless. Who could cure Mo Hantianâs stinky problem of crying? It was difficult to cure unless surgery was performed to remove his tear glands.
But at this time, Mo Hantianâs mind was actually very calm.
They were physiological tears. This tears threshold was too low, and he couldnât control it!
Shi Xiaobin secretly glanced at him and asked softly, âBrother Mo, are you okay?â
Mo Hantian gritted his teeth and said, âVery good! Letâs cheek up and beat them in the next round! F*k them up!â
The team members, ââ¦â¦â
You are commanding with a tearful voice. How can you still roar so passionately?
