The Failed Knight of Full-Time Master

To be honest, Switzerland reaching this round is already in line with their expectations.

After all, the Swiss team's strength, compared to all the countries participating in the World Invitational Tournament, is at best second-rate.

They got to where they are now entirely thanks to the swordsman Hugo and the knight Anna.

Especially the last match, a crucial game for Switzerland.

Anna used Anning's signature move, an arc-shaped charge, and it was an even more exaggerated arc than Anning's previous charge.

I almost drew a semicircle.

This completely stunned the opposing team's sharpshooter.

Even An Ning was somewhat surprised.

When watching the match, Anning only felt that Anna had become stronger, but she didn't really feel that the opponent could use the techniques she was so proud of.

And this match is against Switzerland.

The first round is China's home game.

As expected, the Chinese team displayed absolute dominance on home soil.

The rules after the quarterfinals are somewhat different from those of the previous qualifying rounds.

This time, the best-of-three (BO3) rule will be adopted, meaning that the first team to win two matches will advance.

As for the points in the big game, they are not very meaningful. As long as you win, whether it's a shutout or a one-point lead, it can be considered a win.

In order to prevent a tie in the competition, the team competition score was reduced from five points to four points.

Therefore, in the first round, the Chinese team won one point in the individual competition, two points in the ring competition, and four points in the team competition, winning the first round with a score of 7 to 2.

The key point, however, is the second round.

Every team that has made it this far is undoubtedly the strongest.

Therefore, these teams all have an advantage when playing at their home ground.

Therefore, winning on your own home turf is easy, but winning on the opponent's home turf is not so easy.

Often, the second leg, played on the opponent's home turf, is even more crucial.

This time, the Chinese team also suffered a lot in the individual competition.

In the first round between the two sides, Ye Xiu arranged for a substitute to play, but this time the full main force played, and the Chinese team only won one of the three individual matches.

"Their map choice is completely different from ours..."

Xiao Shiqin stroked his chin as he spoke.

"Yes, the map they chose is completely different from our 'hunting zone'."

On the other side, Ye Xiu also spoke.

To be honest, this is what differentiates the two leagues.

Actually, compared to other games, the map in the Glory Pro League is not as important as one might expect.

Or rather... a good map isn't necessarily fixed.

Within the same league, different teams will have different preferred maps, not to mention the differences between different countries.

This is why Chinese players often suffer on the map when facing foreign teams.

It's in the middle of nowhere.

The large population of European countries determines the differences in the quality of teams in the Glory League of different countries.

To compensate for this, Europe created a competition separate from professional leagues: the continental league.

Therefore, European countries have a relatively high level of understanding of each other's maps.

The Chinese team, having traveled from afar, faces this very dilemma.

Similarly, the South Korean team, which also made it to the quarterfinals like the Chinese team, is facing the same situation.

In the individual competition, the Chinese team had a tough time, but at least they managed to get a point.

In the ring competition, although the Chinese team has sent a top lineup including Zhang Jiale, Zhou Zekai, and Wang Jiexi.

They still almost lost to their opponent.

If the Swiss team hadn't only had Hugo and Anna, this match would probably have been in serious trouble.

Securing three points first brought a sigh of relief to viewers who were following the Chinese team.

The team competition that follows is the real focus.

An Ning also made an appearance in this match.

Although she has only been abroad for a short period of time, An Ning has already gained more attention than she did in China, and her popularity has even surpassed that in China.

An Ning understood what the athlete meant. "Here, more people know me than back home."

In this match, the opponent chose a map that the Chinese team had basically never practiced.

With limited time, the Chinese team naturally couldn't be familiar with all the maps.

Therefore, this match also depends entirely on the commander.

To ensure that no problems arise in this match, Ye Xiu chose two commanders.

Commander-in-Chief: Zhang Xinjie; Deputy Commander: Yu Wenzhou.

The remaining contestants are Huang Shaotian, who works well with Yu Wenzhou, and Li Xuan, who can control the flow of the game.

The sixth person is Zhou Zekai.

This arrangement is the most stable lineup Ye Xiu could come up with.

Even so, the Chinese team was still heavily targeted by the opposing team at the beginning.

An Ning, who was in the front row, also encountered the knight Anna, who was her opponent.

Their swordsman, Hugo, also chose the same fighting style as Huang Shaotian, roaming the outside.

"They're studying us too..."

An Ning understood instantly.

But now, there is no time for Anning to think.

An Ning also chose to raise her shield and charge forward.

The opponent's playing style this time is the same as mine.

The same arc-shaped charge.

They also have the same habit of charging and shield bashing.

The two sides have been locked in a stalemate.

However, compared to the Chinese team, the opponent's long-range support is really quite formidable.

If it weren't for Li Xuan's support, An Ning would probably have been suppressed.

"is that OK."

Zhang Xinjie also expressed some concern.

"rest assured."

Faced with this situation, An Ning became even more excited.

He had prepared for this match.

Just when Anna was fighting back and forth with Anning by "copying" her way through.

Suddenly... Anna noticed that the shield in Anning's hand had disappeared.

Anna's pupils dilated instantly.

She knew very well what Anning's playing style was all about...

"Imitate me, become me, want to surpass me?"

Anning also typed.

"Let's train for another two years!"

Then, another longsword appeared in the hand of Yin Guang on the Anning screen.

During this period, Thunder accumulated a lot of materials and took the opportunity to forge a silver longsword.

I originally planned to replace my previous orange weapon, but I didn't expect to use it today.

Silver Weapon: Destroyer of the Blade.

The effect is that the attacked enemy will have its attack power reduced.

This effect is actually not very useful right now, but what An Ning needs is the weapon's attack power.

Its attack power is almost comparable to that of a swordsman's weapon.

After switching to the dual-sword style, An Ning overwhelmingly suppressed her opponent.

Using her twin swords, Anning unleashed a furious offensive against Anna.

Meanwhile, the sharpshooter behind Anna was preparing to interrupt Anning's attack.

But it was An Ning's Starfall Hammer that struck her directly. (End of Chapter)
