Chapter 25
Chapter Twenty-Five
Point B is located in the corner where the most containers are concentrated on the beach. There is an abandoned ferry parked next to it. You can't go inside the ship, but you can go into the deck and the top. There is a lot of debris on the ship, and there are often sly guys squatting inside to ambush people.
Having learned from their experience of struggling to survive at point A, Yuan Shaofeng was mentally prepared from the start for a game where they might not get any advantage. Even the commentators felt that TWG, having tasted success, would continue to use the same tactics.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ziyan didn't rush to attack the opposing backline like he did in the previous game. Instead, he stood on a container with Bai Ke. This container was different from the others; it was next to another container lying horizontally, with an open door, allowing people to enter and hide.
Bai Ke stood outside sniping, while Xu Ziyan crouched inside the container. Although he was clearly in the back, he didn't heal anyone, adopting a very defensive stance.
Because the program at point A was very entertaining, the director was very accommodating, and Xu Ziyan, who was just squatting there doing nothing, was given a lot of screen time.
Commentator C posed a difficult question to commentator D: "D, what is TWG's strategy for this round?"
Commentator D chuckled and said, "Have you noticed, viewers, that FTK only has one assault soldier left on the front line?"
As he spoke, the observer's perspective shifted to a god's-eye view. Under the markers, everyone could clearly see that FTK only had one assault soldier left on the front line, while the other assault soldier had already stealthily reached TWG's back line.
"FTK won't sit idly by. They assume Ice will reach their backline early, just like they did at point A. Therefore, they assume at the start that the front line will withstand the pressure, and the assault will kill KK, thus fundamentally preventing the situation where the medic controls the backline and the sniper can finish them off."
"The idea is good, but..."
The idea was good, but Xu Ziyan had anticipated this situation and was waiting next to the container in advance.
In the second half of the game, both sides were in a rush. TWG's Xu Ziyan intentionally hid, leaving the front line without medical protection. One mistake could result in the deaths of both of their assault teams. FTK, on the other hand, worried about their backline being eliminated, rushed in to kill KK first.
Xu Ziyan did not make a move, so FTK could win as long as they remained calm.
But instead of waiting, they took the initiative.
Everyone can understand this feeling; it's really hard to hand over your fate to someone else.
Xu Ziyan seized on this psychology and, the instant the assault team touched the container, delivered a stun gun, swiftly and decisively freezing the assault in place.
FTK's assault operative was startled and shouted into the voice channel, "—Their medics didn't leave at all!"
However, it was too late. Bai Ke turned around, swiftly and decisively decapitating the immobilized assault soldier. He pulled the bolt to reload, suddenly straightened up, and fired another shot, sniping away another assault soldier who was locked in combat with Yuan Shaofeng and Meng Cang at the forefront.
FTK's sniper reaction was quick, and they also snipeed Bai Ke's head off the exposed area.
However, without the front line, the point can no longer continue to defend.
With point B captured, TWG secured a victory in the first game, taking a 1-0 lead.
"Nice." Bai Ke stood up, gave Xu Ziyan a high five, and joked, "As expected of Ice, should I start calling you Ice God from now on?"
Xu Ziyan laughed heartily: "K God, you flatter me."
When Xu Ziyan first heard Bai Ke's new tactic that day, he thought it was too underhanded. Fortunately, he wasn't exactly an upright person either, so while he expressed his agreement, he also offered various suggestions on how to improve the tactic.
When two bad things get together, they can always create something even worse.
Yuan Shaofeng, who had been chased and killed for the entire game, was exhausted. The thought that this was a best-of-three series made him dizzy. He could only pray that he could win the next game smoothly and not have to suffer another torment.
Meng Cang, who was also exhausted from the ordeal, watched the sniper and medic leave hand in hand and said, "One plus one is greater than two."
Yuan Shaofeng said, "There is no such thing as the most insidious; there is only something more insidious."
He turned to Meng Cang and said, "Are all snipers and medics like this? No, Xie Shen seems very calm and upright to me..."
Meng Cang said, "There's one more round, good luck."
Yuan Shaofeng said, "If we lose the next round, we'll have to play one more round."
Seeing Meng Cang staring at him intently, Yuan Shaofeng shuddered and hurriedly said, "No, I must win the next round. I'll really die if I play another game."
Therefore, at this moment, due to the change in the source of pressure, the TWG second team members' desire to win has reached an unprecedented level.
In the second game, the roles were reversed, and on the same map, TWG was on defense while FTK was on offense.
This time, FTK learned their lesson and directly assigned medics to protect the snipers. Less healing was acceptable; keeping the snipers alive was the top priority.
However, TWG did the opposite. When their opponents adopted an unusual stance, they instead played a serious and conventional offensive game.
Xu Ziyan replaced the healing bottle with an armor pack, healing and throwing armor packs at the same time. Yuan Shaofeng and Meng Cang had been wronged for the whole game, and now they finally got some healing. In addition, they were really determined not to play a third game, so their playstyle was much more aggressive than before.
FTK's attacks were unsuccessful, and seeing that they couldn't even take point A, they made a desperate decision and deployed their medics to the front lines again.
However, as if he had seen through their thoughts, no sooner had the medical staff left than Xu Ziyan moved to the location of the FTK sniper and used a familiar combination of electric shock and sniping to take down the enemy.
This time, FTK was on guard, and Xu Ziyan was no longer able to escape unscathed; his head was taken by the attacking force that arrived from behind.
Trading a medical medic for a sniper rifle isn't actually a good trade, but Viña Harbor is a map perfect for sniping. There's no need to worry about enemy snipers anymore, and the assault troops are far away trying to kill Xu Ziyan. With no worries about their rear, Bai Ke can freely snipe from his high vantage point. Standing atop the tower crane, he's more powerful than a god of war, taking down FTK with a single shot.
The countdown has ended, and FTK's attack has failed.
TWG secured the victory with the overwhelming strength of the team.
The moment the results were announced, the internet exploded.
FTK is the champion of the previous secondary league. Even if they lost, how could they have lost so easily? Judging from this match, FTK was like a helpless child in front of TWG. From tactics to teamwork, everything was played by TWG.
The combination of sniping and medical skills, along with various tactics, is particularly impressive and leaves viewers wanting more.
In an instant, countless words of praise poured in.
During a break while back in the lounge, Bai Ke glanced at her phone and saw the comments under the Weibo post. She sneered, "This guy said last time that this sniper rifle was more useful for plowing the fields than for sniping people. Now he's changed his tune."
After cursing, he flicked his finger and blocked the ID.
Xu Ziyan also checked his Weibo and found that he had gained a lot of followers and many people had left messages praising him. However, what made him uncomfortable was that these people were not only praising him, but also dragging Qu Qingyue, who had performed poorly in the last game, into it. They said that instead of Clear, the first team should just put Ice on the first team, at least they could lose less embarrassingly.
Bai, noticing Xu Ziyan's unpleasant expression, leaned over to glance at his screen, smiled knowingly, and patted Xu Ziyan on the shoulder: "What do you think?"
Xu Ziyan asked, "What do you think?"
"What this guy said," Bai Ke gestured with his chin towards Xu Ziyan's phone, "that you should be the first team's medic. What do you think?"
Xu Ziyan found it absurd and laughed, "Clear has two world champions, how could I possibly compare to her?"
Bai Ke smiled at him and said, "Don't you want to join the first team and become the starting healer?"
Xu Ziyan paused abruptly.
How could I not want to?
The reason he's standing here, the reason he joined TWG, is so that he can join the first team and stand next to Xie Wei.
For a long time, he has been working hard in this direction without ever feeling lost, and he has tried his best to overcome any obstacles he encountered.
However, the thing Bai Ke brought up was something Xu Ziyan had never thought of before.
TWG's first team only has one medical position, which means that in order to enter the first team, he must be stronger than Qu Qingyue, squeeze out Qu Qingyue's position, and take his place.
Qu Qingyue holds two world championship trophies and has also won the MVP trophy in the Spring Season. Her honors are unparalleled in the entire medical field.
When Xu Ziyan first started learning about resistance, he learned medical skills little by little by watching Qu Qingyue's live streams. Even now, he sometimes watches Qu Qingyue's recordings and match perspectives to learn some details. Xu Ziyan vaguely regards Qu Qingyue as a senior teacher.
But now, he has the goal of defeating and surpassing Qu Qingyue.
Xu Ziyan was a little confused for a moment.
Seeing this, Bai found it somewhat amusing: "You didn't really not think about this at all, did you?" He paused, then a strange smile appeared on his face: "If you haven't thought about it, you really need to think about it now, because in my opinion, your entry into the first team is practically a done deal."
Xu Ziyan was taken aback and wanted to ask more questions, but Lu Donglou pushed the door open and walked in at that moment, saying to them, "Ice, KK, come for the post-match interview."
"..."
Xu Ziyan had no choice but to swallow her doubts and went out with Bai Ke to give an interview.
The interview was relatively simple. I asked some questions about the new tactics and a few more personal questions, and then it ended.
On the way back, Xu Ziyan thought about it and didn't bring up the topic again, but Bai Ke's confident and sure-fire manner when she spoke was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Xu Ziyan turned his head to look at the bustling traffic outside the car window. As the night deepened, the city's neon lights became even more dazzling. Gazing at this beautiful night view, he secretly made up his mind.
We need to become stronger.
