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

World Invitational Tournament Venue, Branch Hall B

“Wow…the official cosplay is really good! The legs, um, no, this staff is really…” Old Wei held up a small telescope and looked around.

"You... I'll beat you if you do this again when the boss comes back." Fang Shijing said helplessly: "By the way, where did you buy this little telescope?"

"This is for watching operas. It's elegant. It cost me a lot of money, you know? There's also a certificate. It's an antique!" Old Wei raised his head proudly.

"Hmm? Wait, Boss Wei, there seems to be some words engraved here." Bai Shu was stunned for a moment. There seemed to be a line of small words engraved on the elongated lens.

"Where is it?" Old Wei was startled. "Could this be used by a celebrity? Come on, shine some light on me so I can see what's written on it."

"Let me see...Yiwu?"

"Yiwu? Is this a famous person?" Old Wei was stunned for a moment: "Yes, he must be famous. I have some impression of him."

"Made in China. Um, this is from the small shopping mall in Yiwu, right?" Bai Shu asked with a strange look on his face.

……

"Hahahahahaha, you're making me die of laughter, Old Wei. You're really presbyopic now!" Lu Liang couldn't hold it in and laughed his ass off.

"How much... did you spend? If it doesn't work, we'll go find him tomorrow." Fang Shijing asked helplessly.

"Not much, about ten yuan." Old Wei shrugged.

Ten or so...

"Then how can you say this is an antique?"

"Isn't this just laying the groundwork and giving it to whoever has his birthday?" Old Wei shrugged and looked up guiltily.

"Who is saying this... Wait, it seems like I'm the only one whose birthday is about to come?!" Lu Liang's face darkened.

"Ahem, um, um, let's watch the game." Old Wei laughed cheerfully, not daring to look at Lu Liang.

When Qiu Fei, Lin Jingyan, Chu Xiong and Chu Xue came back with popcorn and Coke, they saw Lu Liang grabbing Lao Wei's neck and shaking him hard. Without saying anything, they calmly distributed the popcorn to Fang Shijing and Bai Shu.

They were no longer surprised by the scenes of concealment.

It was great to see real fighting before the game.

Wu Xuefeng, who was standing behind, was watching the Ember Team in a mess in front of him with a smile, and subconsciously glanced at Tao Xuan, whose eyes were also full of reminiscence.

Once upon a time, Team Excellent Era was also like this...

Unfortunately, it's all over.

"Hehe, damn it, you're really going to kill me." Old Wei rolled his eyes in annoyance: "That's enough!"

Seeing that everyone else had returned, Lu Liang had no choice but to let go of his hand.

"It's about to start, right?" Lin Jingyan said with a smile to help smooth things over.

Fang Shijing glanced at the time: "Soon."

"I don't know how to play this game." Fang Shijing pushed his glasses. They had helped to rehearse the rhythm of the game before, and the conclusion they came to was not very good.

This game will be the most dangerous one since the start of the World Invitational Tournament. Regardless of win or loss, it will have a far-reaching impact on the Chinese team.

As the lights dimmed one by one, the competition began.

The players from both sides entered the venue at the same time, and a fierce cheer broke out instantly. Everyone cheered for the team they supported with all their might until they were hoarse.

"Welcome everyone to watch the World Glory Invitational, the second round of the semi-finals, the England national team at home against the China national team!

The contestants from both teams have entered the arena. After three days of rest, everyone is in good shape. Pan Lin began his hosting with a smile: "It looks like this will be another fierce competition."

"Yes, our Chinese team has reached the match point. If we win this round, we will get a ticket to the World Invitational finals. The same goes for the England national team. If they lose this game, their World Invitational journey will end." Li Yibo nodded: "This game is extremely crucial for both sides. I believe that the players and tacticians of both sides have made the most adequate preparations before the game..."

"The official rhetoric of these two people is getting better and better." Fang Rui muttered, shook hands with Morrigan in front of him, and then took a step back.

"After all, this is our job, let's go." Xiao Shiqin shouted in a low voice, and except for the contestant who needed to compete in the first game, everyone else slowly retreated.

"The pre-match greetings between the two sides have ended. We can see that the first-match players of both sides have shaken hands again, which fully demonstrates the beautiful principle of competition second and friendship first.

The first player sent by the England national team is... the operator of the elemental mage, the famous tactician of the English Premier League, Merlin.

On our side, we have...

Captain of the Ember Team, double-banned player, operator of Mechanical Lord and Gun Master, Li Wenli Team!"

Cheers rang out again, and the howling of ghosts and wolves from Yu Jin's side was particularly loud. Everyone clapped their hands desperately, and Chu Xue looked at the young man on the field with a smile on her face.

The applause was much more sincere than before. Chu Xue opened her mouth and imitated Chu Xiong beside her: "Come on!"

"The first player to play is one of the Chinese team's trump cards... It's a little different from what we expected." Grahead frowned. "Are they trying to win the first two games with all their strength, and then calculate how many points they need to get in the team competition based on the scores?"

"It looks like that." Guinevere nodded: "The following players will have to speed up..."

In their tactical thinking, the best tactic for the Embers team is to tactically give up this game, adjust the rotation rounds, and rearrange the order to the most suitable rhythm for facing the next round.

Therefore, the adjustments made by the England national team are not so extreme, and it feels like a sedan chair being carried by many people.

But obviously, the other party is more despicable...

"The plan is to attack fiercely in the early stage and maintain points in the later stage, and see if they can win the whole game." Li Xuan in the void obviously understood the Chinese team's plan and sighed sincerely.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with this kind of overall strategy.

"This consumption may be greater than completely letting it go, but the benefits are roughly proportional to the cost, and it is more stable." Wu Yuce nodded: "It should be a joint decision made by those people. This adjustment idea does not seem to be arranged by one person."

"Their tactical thinking has been updated again... How are we going to survive in the next season?" Li Xuan sighed, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

They don’t just watch the games every day…

"Looking at their expressions, our idea should have been guessed." Yu Wenzhou smiled and retracted his gaze from the big screen. The expressions on the England bench were a little solemn.

For Yu Wenzhou, just by looking at the expression, he could already get a lot of useful information. "There's nothing I can do about it. This is the best way I can do it." Zhang Jiale shrugged.

Sun Zheping, Tang Hao, Zhou Zekai, Sun Xiang, and even Huang Shaotian were somewhat resistant to this strategic style of play, and the team competition tactics came to a stalemate.

Finally, after discussing with the tactical masters, Ye Xiu decided to make a moderate adjustment.

Fight for points in the arena and doubles matches. If the score difference can be large enough, start the team competition and keep everyone's consumption at a constant value. If it can be restored to 90% within three days, then this deal is worthwhile.

However, if the score difference is too small, and the final difference is less than four points, then give up the team competition, give up the points of this game, and prepare for overtime.

The ring matches and doubles matches were completely controlled by the young and strong faction.

Neither side had any objection to this, and the matter was finally settled evenly.

The first place in the ring match was given to Li Wen's Zhibai Defending Hei.

Li Wen adjusted his state and quickly tested the equipment. After confirming that everything was correct, he clicked OK and waited.

Chu Xue was looking at Li Wen on the stage from below with a smile on her face, but soon her face turned dark.

Just like Zhou Zekai's situation, Li Wen, who has outstanding looks, naturally has a lot of female fans. Although there are quite a few mother fans, the number of girlfriend fans and wife fans is also very large.

Should we hide Xiao Wen?

Some dark thoughts arose, but quickly dissipated.

If that happens, Xiao Wen will be very unhappy.

Unbeknownst to Li Xiaowen, he was only one step away from the abyss.

What map will the opponent choose? If it is an elemental mage, complex maps should be more advantageous, cooperating with the players behind to maximize the home advantage, which is also what tacticians are best at.

But now Merlin is very conflicted. There is no other reason. The opponent is good at defending white and black, and the silver weapon can be switched between four states at any time. Coupled with the mechanic's mechanical rotor, the role that the terrain can play is actually very small.

The England national team's battle arrangement is actually very simple. The first team will be Merlin's Elemental Mage, followed by Vivian's Magic Swordsman, and finally Jack the Ripper's Assassin.

The best choice is the Deep Valley map, which limits the flight altitude and eliminates the Mechanic's advantage, but the Deep Valley map will also limit the use of the Magic Swordsman's wave array.

Forget it, let’s win first.

Merlin gritted his teeth.

Map selected.

Stalactite cave!

"Okay, now the map is selected! Merlin has determined the tone of the entire tournament map, the stalactite cave, and has made restrictions on the mechanic.

But isn't this a bit too arbitrary? Without knowing the lineup of the back line, they directly locked on this map..." Pan Lin scratched his head.

"If it were me, I would also choose this one." Li Yibo smiled: "In the individual competition, even our Huaxia team can only compete with Team Li with three people, and Team Li always has the advantage. The opponent can only deal with Team Li in a special way. Otherwise, if the opponent does not hold on too much, Team Li can complete the penetration by himself.

The other side chose this map, which basically indicated their subsequent tactical arrangements.”

"Li Yibo has made great progress. The Tyranny training class is so useful. Can Lu Hanwen go there for a few days to study?" Huang Shaotian poked Zhang Xinjie and said, "We are all good brothers. Don't be polite. Fight when necessary and scold when necessary."

"Hehe, we also have Bai Shu and Qiu Fei who can provide further training." Zhang Jiale said with a smile.

"Our Yifan, Luo Ji, and Wen Yi are also welcome." Su Mucheng said with a smile.

"Yingjie is also a talented person with great potential." Wang Jiexi also said with a smile.

“Waves.”

These guys... Zhang Xinjie was somewhat helpless: "Okay, but let them sign a three-year contract with Tyranny."

"Zhao Yuzhe...well, that's okay." Tang Hao closed his mouth and lightly took back what he had just said.

For a moment, the preparation area was silent, and everyone was watching the game on the field with their eyes and noses.
You still need to think carefully about further studies. If there are no other conditions, it is 100% guaranteed, and you can even bring your family with you.

But if there are other conditions...then forget it.

It can be free, but there is absolutely no intention to pay a price. Everyone has learned from the cunning tactical masters like Ye Xiu.

The corners of Zhang Xinjie's mouth twitched. He really had no way to deal with this group of guys.

Just watch the game.

On the field, the countdown had completely ended, and Zhibai Shouhei rushed out of the refresh location at the first opportunity.

The stalactite cave map is a very good choice.

Li Wen's eyes were filled with a smile. The Chinese team also used this map as one of their trump cards. They were not studying how to fight based on this map, but...

How to overcome this map?

The Chinese team has strong mobility in the air. Their magic scholar and four-gunner system, if deployed in full force, can completely crush their opponents from the air.

And precisely because of this overly strong arrangement, it is quite easy to restrain.

Lower the altitude above and destroy their wings. There are not many such maps, but they do exist, just like this stalactite cave.

During the training camp, everyone spent a considerable amount of time studying how to turn disadvantages into advantages.

Choosing such a map is itself a gamble, a gamble on the unity of the Chinese national team's next lineup.

The Chinese team's mode is diverse, with a dual-core combination of strong attack and sneaky, which means that their combination is actually very difficult to target. Just like now, if you target the arrangement of Sky Item, are you afraid if the opponent throws in a thief, swordsman, and warlock in the next game?
Merlin is actually a little nervous now. He doesn't know whether his arrangement is right or wrong, but in order to prevent the evil from happening, it is totally worth it.

Merlin operated his account and quickly occupied the best defensive point. This was a fork in the road. There were only two channels for attack, and they were the only way to attack. He only needed to occupy it by force, and he would basically win half the battle.

In addition, the corridor is long, and the echo produced is enough for the defender to gain the upper hand in advance.

It has to be quick!
Beads of sweat dripped down Merlin's forehead.
