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

"Don't move..." the makeup artist reminded helplessly again.

"Um, sorry, sorry..." Although he said sorry, it was obvious that he didn't mean it. Pan Lin was still staring at the phone in front of him and typing away. He only stopped temporarily, thinking that he would delay the commentary if he didn't hurry up, and stayed there obediently.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Yibo looked at Pan Lin curiously as he finished putting on makeup and started typing on his phone. He went over to take a look and found that it seemed to be a foreign website.

"Brother Li is fighting against the trolls." Pan Lin put down his phone in annoyance: "They all said that we will lose this game. I don't accept it. I have been fighting with them for a whole day..."

“You…” Li Yibo was speechless, but after thinking for a moment, he said: “What they said actually makes some sense.”

"..." Pan Lin's eyes turned unfriendly.

Li Yibo shook his head helplessly: "Don't worry, I sent you another article about the German team after the game that day. Did you read it?"

"It's stuck." Pan Lin nodded honestly.

"Then you should know that the average age of the German team is relatively young. Even the oldest player, the captain Fritz, is only the age of the captains of the golden generation in our team, and this is already their oldest player." Li Yibo said patiently: "And our Chinese team has a total of three elderly players, Captain Wang, Zhang Jiale, and Sun Zheping. Normally, their ages are close to the level of retirement and decline.

Zhang Jiale took a year off to adjust to the hidden dangers caused by the previous three crazy years, and Sun Zheping was even more outrageous. No one knew what happened. Originally, everyone speculated that even if he could play, he would at best be a third-tier player, but his state has been frozen in the year of his retirement. Captain Wang changed his playing style like a magician, and there have always been excellent knights in the team to help share the pressure, so he barely managed to hold on.

But even so, the body's recovery state cannot be compared with that of young people.

Even the members of the golden generation cannot recover as well as the young kids on the German team.

They can attack recklessly and increase the pressure, and we can certainly fight back. In terms of strength, I don't think the German team can beat us, but this is not the final, so we always have to keep some cards or other things in reserve, and it is enough to get enough points to qualify."

"In other words, in this game we may tactically give up some points to focus on maintaining points?" Pan Lin was stunned.

Li Yibo shrugged, "I'm just guessing, but the four tacticians must have considered the fundamentals more comprehensively than us. Perhaps, we can go all out in this game and focus on recuperation in the next game against the Australian team."

Pan Lin began to feel conflicted.

"So, don't think too much. I'm telling you this just to keep you from getting too emotional later." Li Yibo patted Pan Lin on the shoulder and said, "By the way, you pay for the midnight snack tonight."

"I know..." Pan Lin was a little unhappy: "Will I really lose..."

……

Are you still struggling with this? Then everything I just said is in vain.

Li Yibo was speechless.

……

"After all, it's the World Invitational Tournament and the players are all very good. Anyway, I think it doesn't matter much if we give up a few points tactically in this team competition." Lao Wei yawned. He was on the night shift yesterday. After work, he took a short nap and came here. He is still a little sleepy now.

"I understand the logic, but if I really lose, I don't know what some people on the Internet will say." Bai Shu muttered, and it was obvious that he was unhappy.

"Whatever they say..." Lin Jingyan shrugged helplessly: "I'm almost used to it anyway."

"Well, let's see what Ye Xiu and the others decide..." Lu Liang sighed, "I really envy those kids..."

At this point, even Old Wei fell silent, with some envy and jealousy in his eyes. Finally, he reached out and patted Qiu Fei on the shoulder: "You guys, keep working hard..."

"Ah."

As the advertisement ended, Pan Lin and Li Yibo appeared on the court, followed by players from both sides, who then entered the preparation seats and waited for the players to enter.

The starting members are...

The rogue player of the German team, Hans.

And the battle mage of Team Huaxia, Sun Xiang.

"Lao Lin, you should have seen the game video of Hans, right? How is his level?" Lu Liang asked curiously.

"Hans's level is not low." Lin Jingyan said with a little seriousness: "He is similar to Tang Hao's level in the second grade. His playing style is extremely aggressive. He is a surprise attack type of frontal attacker. His operation is not rough, but very delicate. He uses flying props very accurately. He is a very strong frontal attacker."

"He's the same type as Tang Hao and Sun Xiang... Tsk, is it possible that Sun Xiang got so carried away that he forgot about other people's instructions?" Old Wei's worry was not without reason. Sun Xiang had done this kind of thing many times, especially during the Excellent Era period. The incident in which Sun Xiang was forced to slow down by the grinding king Xu Bin, which led to a complete disconnection in the team competition, was still vivid in people's minds.

Until now, it is still used as a standard negative material by captains in the country to teach newcomers a lesson.

"Probably not. In the past year since joining Samsara, Sun Xiang has become much calmer. Jiang Botao is an expert at regulating the relationships within the team."

"He really is worthy of being the most outstanding player in the team... But Li Hua..." Lin Jingyan hesitated and shook his head.

"Yanyu's conflicts are not something that Li Hua can resolve. Didn't you see that the captain has no hope? However, thanks to their poor brains, we can take advantage of Lao Chu." Lao Wei gloated.

Players from both sides checked their equipment very carefully. After all, no professional player would like to have keyboard key conflicts at the most critical moment of the game, which would lead to problems with skill releases or equipment.

There have been a lot of news reports abroad before that some players did not debug their equipment in advance and encountered problems during the competition.

If it's a little darker, what if the opponent bribed some people and deliberately did something here?

Well, let’s check the live broadcast room. The professional players who are playing against the Korean team are still adjusting their keyboard and mouse, and checking whether the lines below are complete.

We have to guard against this.

What if, in the middle of a call, the power or the internet goes out, and the other party raises their hand? What should you do?
After all, it is the Korean team, and these little tricks have never stopped.

Although no one wants to doubt their opponents who are also professional players, they are also willing to believe that the professional players of Glory always remember the name of the game they love.

But... we have to guard against some people outside the field.

"Let's begin..." The discussion in the Embers meeting room stopped.

Hans clicked to enter the room and looked at the person opposite him with interest.

Battle Mage?
Jacob must be so angry, right? Although I would rather fight that gangster, it's good to piss off Jacob.

Hans relaxed his hands and waited attentively for the map to be selected.

[Dense forest at night]!
The map is not very big, it is a jungle-type map with many obstructions, but basically no place to hide.

The bright moon hangs.

The two characters refreshed on the map.

Sun Xiang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and directly controlled Yi Ye Zhi Qiu to rush forward.

"Sun Xiang's game..." Li Yibo was stunned. This was completely different from what he predicted!

When he first saw Sun Xiang come on the court, Li Yibo analyzed that Sun Xiang might need to play in a roundabout way in this game to provide plenty of time for the subsequent preparation members, so the offense should be a little more cautious.

but……

The current situation is completely contrary to his own speculation. In short, Li Yibo was slapped in the face again.

"Brother Li, given the current situation..." Pan Lin looked at Li Yibo awkwardly.

Li Yibo shook his head. He did not try to make up for anything like before after a complete transformation. Instead, he watched the game seriously: "This is completely different from what I did before. I need to reorganize my thinking. Perhaps, I have to completely overturn the tactics that I guessed about our Chinese team..."

"Oh? That is to say?" Pan Lin's eyes lit up.

Again, even though it’s not the team they play on, no one wants to see the team they support lose.

Fritz discussed with the team leader and deputy team leader with a serious face: "Team Huaxia, do they want to compete with us? How dare they do that? Won't there be any problems with the rotation?"

"We guessed the weakness of the Chinese team before. Were we wrong?"

"No, that's absolutely correct. The flaws of the Chinese team are clearly visible. There's absolutely no mistake about that. But the current situation... is indeed a bit weird. Do they want to go all out to win this game against us, and then hold back a little in the game against the Australian team? Then, isn't he a bit too arrogant?"

Fritz shook his head. “I can’t say for sure, but I have a bad feeling about this.”

……

Not right.

Hans rolled over to dodge the dragon fang that Yi Ye Zhi Qiu was stabbing at him. His expression changed from indifference to concentration, which was completely different from what the tacticians had guessed. Before, everyone speculated that the Chinese team might have to hold back in this game and prepare for losing points in advance, so their momentum and offensive might be a little weaker.

The young players of the German team were a little disappointed, but it was still gratifying to beat the seeded players.

But now... the opponent has no intention of holding back at all, and the attack even seems a little fierce.

Sun Xiang is one of the young talents of the Chinese team. He is better than Hans in both playing style and experience. It is not wrong to describe Sun Xiang as being at his peak.

Every attack and every move carries a strong sense of oppression, and the domineering style of play is fully demonstrated.

Hans knew that this was not going to work, as he had already begun to fall into the opponent's rhythm!
Once your opponent completely controls your rhythm, you will be eliminated soon!

Damn, this guy...

"What does Sun Xiang want to do? Is he crazy? He didn't remember the lesson the vice-captain gave him before!" Liu Xiaobie shouted.

"Don't get excited yet..."

"I'm not excited about Brother Fang. This is the World Invitational Tournament. How could he act like this?" Liu Xiaobie was a little angry.

Now Sun Xiang is not only representing himself, but also the reputation of the China Glory Professional Alliance. If he behaves like this, won't he be laughed at by others...

"No." Xu Bin and Gao Yingjie said at the same time.

The words of these two people made Liu Xiaobie calm down temporarily, and he looked at them in confusion.

Xu Bin and Gao Yingjie looked at each other, and Xu Bin said with a smile: "Yingjie, can you tell me your opinion first?"

“Yes.” Gao Yingjie did not refuse and nodded seriously: “Indeed, Senior Xiaobie said that this battle is very similar to the previous battle between the deputy captain and Sun Xiang, but... the roles of both sides are completely opposite.

Sun Xiang's position in this game is the same as the original deputy captain position. "

Liu Xiaobie was stunned: "Ah? Wait, if you put it that way..."

"Yes." Xu Bin nodded with a smile: "Although the fighting methods and guidance are slightly different, the root is the same, both are to guide the opponent to act according to one's own wishes."

What Xu Bin is best at is wearing down his opponent. He wears down his opponent's patience and emotions, making them irritable, which in turn causes their operations to become distorted and makes their condition worse.

This is a very advanced technique...

"The average age of the German team is not very old, and Sun Xiang's condition is not much different from when he first debuted. Sun Xiang himself should understand the mood of this type of players better." Song Qiying's voice echoed in the Tyranny meeting room: "So, Sun Xiang adopted a domineering suppression, because he knew that no player with this style of play could withstand such a provocation, and the opponent would definitely respond to Sun Xiang with a more violent attitude.

And Sun Xiang only needs to... suppress, and suppress again, without provoking, the opponent's emotions will slowly rise... thus causing his hand speed to get out of control."

"Tsk, this kid Sun Xiang has also started to play the art of war?" Bai Yanfei was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief.

"This... is hard to comment on, but what is certain is that Sun Xiang has made another breakthrough. He should be able to stabilize his hand speed while constantly suppressing his opponent, so as not to fall into a state of violent loss of speed along with his opponent." Song Qiying hesitated for a moment and glanced at Han Wenqing who was still silent: "Perhaps, Sun Xiang is now truly qualified to be called the God of Fighting..."

Han Wenqing did not directly answer everyone's questions, but instead said something inexplicable.

"Now, the time has come..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Everyone remembered the provocation of the captain by Sun Xiang during the All-Star Game. The captain forcibly suppressed Sun Xiang and said that it was too early for young people to want to change the dynasty now...

And now, is this a response after all these years?
