Full-time master: I have a spirit behind me.

"Beautiful, the total score is five to one!" Liu Xiaobie from Vici Gaming Club cheered.

"Be a little more steady, Xiaobie." Fang Shiqian, the god of healing who was rehired by the club as a coach and observer, smiled and patted Liu Xiaobie on the shoulder.

When he retired, Liu Xiaobie had just joined the Tiny Herb Club. At that time, Liu Xiaobie looked like this now. After he came back, Liu Xiaobie still looked like this now...

However, the young man's mentality is also very good.

"Hehe, Brother Fang is right." Liu Xiaobie scratched his head embarrassedly and sat down.

"However, it is indeed something to be happy about. The captain of the other team in the doubles match also played, and was completely defeated by Team Li and Team Chu. In the following team competition, we should be able to gain a lot of advantages." Deng Fusheng, who was also rehired as a data analyst, smiled and said, "The winning rate of the team competition should be greatly improved."

"Xiao Gao, what do you think?" Fang Shiqian looked at Gao Yingjie, who was watching the game seriously while taking notes.

"Although we have an advantage with a score of 5 to 1, but... I'm sorry, I'm not sure whether this is due to luck or because Team Yu and the others were well prepared." Gao Yingjie looked at his notes and said truthfully.

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Fang Shiqian smiled encouragingly at Gao Yingjie.

Gao Yingjie nodded: "From the games that our national team has revealed to the outside world, our first players are generally those who are good at close combat. Tang Hao and Sun Xiang are both relatively regular players...

Therefore, based on this, the opponent sent the judoka who was best at close combat to the field, hoping to take down our first close combat member first. However, they did not expect that we would send Captain Zhou in the first match..." Gao Yingjie scratched his head: "Could it be that the previous two matches were traps set by the tactical masters for the opponent?"

"You guessed right, Xiao Gao. This is a typical multi-core formation that the Ember Team is good at." Deng Fusheng smiled and rubbed Gao Yingjie's head. "Throw the problem to the opponent, and you only need to arrange the formation according to the established arrangement. Even if the opponent is lucky and wins the bet, there will not be much loss. The overall rhythm does not actually depend on the lineup arrangement."

"Is this so..."

"However, although this method of fighting is effective, fundamentally speaking, the effect will generally not be that good." Fang Shiqian pointed out with a smile.

This time, Liu Xiaobie was the first to react: "The opponent is a little greedy, wanting to maximize their profits, so they deliberately arranged for extreme melee professions to play, wanting to maximize their profits, and did not consider the changes that would occur later?"

"That's right." Fang Shiqian nodded in agreement: "But there is nothing we can do about it. From the overall perspective of the 16 national teams, the Danish team's strength level is not very high, and the individual strength of the members is slightly below average. Therefore, if they want to gain the majority of advantages in the early stages, they must adopt this extreme playing arrangement..."

"What a pity! This style of play was arranged before the head-based points system was implemented. The Danish team really looks like a big thunder team." Deng Fusheng shook his head with some regret.

The former Thunder team was also known as the 50-50 team. This was not to pay tribute to the predecessor in the e-sports industry, but simply meant that the scores they got after the game were basically 5 to 5.

We lost both the individual and the ring competitions, but won the team competition.

At that time, the competition system for the music competition and team competition was to give two or five points based on the overall victory or defeat.

So after the game, the score was exactly five to five.

"We relied on the cohesion of the team to achieve a big score...but, our tactics have also been greatly strengthened." Gao Yingjie had an excited smile on his face.

Senior Yu Wenzhou, who had “clumsy hands”, got voice reinforcement and no longer needed to stop operating his profession during the command process.

"But, in this match, Yu Yuwenzhou might not play..."

While the Weicao team was discussing, the break time on site had just passed.

Team competition members began to enter.

On the Chinese broadcast side, they always introduce the opponent first, and then introduce their own team.

As for the Danish national team, the players are:

The captain of the Danish national team, the mechanic operated by Oliver [Pinocchio].

The Berserker [Cinderella] controlled by Vigo.

The knight [Centurion] controlled by Flirif.

The guardian angel [Tin Man] operated by Lucas.

The sharpshooter [Peter Pan] operated by Forrest.

And the sixth person, the assassin [Wolf Grandma] operated by the short guy Dorn.

"This formation is the one that the mechanic on the opposite side is best at splitting the lineup..." In the meeting room of the Ember Team, Lao Wei narrowed his eyes: "Sure enough, their arrangement for the previous games is probably to get as many points as possible, and if they can't get any, they will rush for points in the team competition. They will try to deduct as many points as possible from us, preferably six points, so that they can fully face other members in the group with seven points, and then let our national team become the knife in their hands..."

"Their idea is quite good." Bai Shu held up his chin. "Moreover, the feasibility seems to be quite high... Many people surround one person, and then use the integration ability to continuously divide the battlefield, cooperate to delay, and finally attack in groups of two..."

"They underestimated their predecessors." Qiu Fei shook his head.

It's not that Qiu Fei is bragging, this idea is certainly good and feasible, but...

You are facing the thirteen strongest players in the entire Chinese Professional League, including five top-tier players and four top tactical masters...

They can think of all the ways to score points and overtake on the curve that you can think of. They can even imagine solutions that you can't think of.

Just by watching Oliver's tactical command in full, the best choice when facing a strong team has been almost figured out.

You will play this way, and you can only play this way, because only by playing this way will your profits be the highest and only then will you have the possibility of qualifying. If you do not choose this way, the possibility of qualifying will be very small.

This is the level of tactical masters.

“In this situation, Ye Xiu, Yu Wenzhou and the others would probably arrange a highly mobile team to deal with it… Oh, it’s time to go on stage, let me see…” Old Wei twisted his butt: “Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this lineup… Then, it’s not too bad for the Danish team to lose.”

Lin Jingyan and Lu Liang were also somewhat surprised to see the familiar IDs and faces appearing on the field. No one denied what Lao Wei said. The starting five of the Chinese national team:
Sun Zheping, the mad swordsman, ID: [Sleep Another Summer].

Huang Shaotian, swordsman, [Sword Saint], ID [Night Rain Troubling].

Zhou Zekai, sharpshooter, [Gun King], ID [One Shot Through the Clouds].

Fang Rui, Qigong master, ID: [A ship full of stars].

Zhang Xinjie, priest, ID: [石不转].

The sixth person, the captain of the Embers team, Li Wen, the mechanic, [Mechanic Master], ID [Knowing White and Guarding Black]...

With such a team configuration, if Fang Rui and Zhang Xinjie were replaced with Sun Xiang and Chu Yunxiu, then this team would become the most violent output team. If Zhang Xinjie was replaced with Wang Jiexi, then it would become the most flexible mobile team.

And now, this half-mobile, half-endurance team is enough to handle most games...

"Honestly, Brother Li, I never thought that one day I would be able to see such a gorgeous lineup in an official competition." Pan Lin looked at the names over and over again, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

Only the annual All-Stars can have a glimpse of such a luxurious lineup, and in the main competition, the only teams that can come close to such a luxurious lineup are Samsara and Embers.

But now...

How can a team like this lose? Let's make sure that even Fang Rui can't lose, right?

"Ahem, well, it seems that the tacticians are really attentive to this first game, oh? Now we have entered the map selection phase, let's see, what map will be selected for this game...

[Howling Snow Valley] is a valley-type map with extremely complex terrain!
There are not many points to note on this map, but they are extremely important. Be sure to pay attention to the progress bar above the map. Once the progress bar is full, an avalanche will occur in the valley, and there is a certain probability of freezing and burying the map.

Once a player is buried, teammates will need to quickly support and pull him up again. After that, the player who is pulled up will enter a negative buff for one minute..."

Maps with complex mechanisms are one of the highlights of the World Invitational. Such maps will cause various extreme situations, thereby testing the players' ability to adapt to multiple situations.

Although, some maps can be annoying...

However, for players who are able to participate in competitions such as the World Invitational, this test can only be regarded as a drizzle.

Just like the Chinese team, no one was too surprised by this map.

"Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, can everyone hear me? The configuration of the computer for the World Invitational is pretty good. There's basically no noise. What brand are these headphones and microphones from? Let me see. Is it from Lingmao Esports? Xiao Wen, Da Sun, Lao Fang, this is your boss's family business. Hello, hello, hello, why is no one talking?" Huang Shaotian kept moving his mouth while checking the equipment: "Do you think people outside can hear us talking now? Does what I said just now count as an advertisement for Lingmao? Is there any announcement fee I can get? If so, I'll say a few more words later. Camera, try to move closer to me...

Why is no one talking? Is the equipment broken?"

Huang Shaotian said as he quickly adjusted himself, opened the team channel and started typing: [I've been talking for a long time why haven't you guys said anything yet? Is there something wrong with the equipment? The situation here doesn't show any problems...]

"Is there a possibility that we blocked you from the beginning?" Fang Rui said helplessly as he looked at the words floating on the public screen.

Ye Yu Sheng Fan: [You guys are not really trying to exclude people from the team. I am protesting. Someone is excluding me here. Is there anyone who can do something about it? ]

"Everyone, please turn off the team channel for a while." Zhang Xinjie said calmly: "As for Huang Shaotian, just pretend he doesn't exist."

"Yeah." Zhou Zekai was the first to respond.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Li Wen hesitated for a moment, but still quickly closed the team channel.

"It's okay." Sun Zheping comforted.

Fang Rui knew Huang Shaotian quite well: "Anyway, this guy has a strong personal style. It's like one person is missing when we fight. It's better to just pretend he's not there. Just play your own game well, and he'll be able to find opportunities himself."

"Damn it, dammit, dammit, dammit, you guys are really excluding me! Turn on the mic, turn on the mic, turn on the mic!" Huang Shaotian was speechless. He wanted to go out and bang bang on other people's rooms, but he had already entered the competition stage. He couldn't leave his face out of the camera frame for no reason, especially his hands.

This is a bit painful for Huang Shao. He can only hear other people's conversations but cannot participate in them. It is better not to turn on the voice function!
Fortunately, after the game started, Xiao Wen was just like me, he could only listen and was unable to speak.

“This Shaotian guy…” Yu Wenzhou covered his face and lowered his head in shame.

"That's good. I think you guys in Blue Rain won't be lonely anymore." Wang Jiexi smiled and patted Yu Wenzhou's shoulder.

Everyone knows that Huang Shaotian is a very noisy guy, but before, the most he suffered was a little torture when he sat together with others at the All-Star gathering. After that, he suffered much less.

The national team players suffered quite a lot, about one to two months longer.

But thinking about Blue Rain, everyone felt much more balanced.

Except for the off-season, we basically face this situation every day in a year, which is really sympathetic.

People are not worried about scarcity, but about inequality. As long as there are people who are worse off than themselves, one will naturally feel much better.

"The opponent's team has a highly mobile configuration. The original interspersed group should pay attention and switch the lineup to a 2-1-2 lineup. After the game starts, quickly assemble and wait for orders. The Chinese team is best at guerrilla lineups. Maintain a good formation and advance slowly. Be the first to find the opponent's priest position. After getting rid of the priest, slowly advance and eat them one by one." Oliver thought for a moment and directly canceled the interspersed and divided tactics discussed before the game and replaced it with a fortress advancement strategy.

"Ah, fortress advancement? That seems to be boring..." Fulliver was a little helpless: "Can I apply for one, two, two, and put me first?"

"If it's one-two-two, I'd be the most suitable person to be the front-row attacker." Vigo, who felt a little frustrated during the ring match, applied in a deep voice.

"Follow orders, one, two, two as a change of formation tactics." Oliver said coldly. After watching the countdown end, he gave another order: "Everyone, prepare to assemble."
