Chapter 59
Chapter 59
The two teams took their seats, and the director switched the camera to the game's preparation screen.
The map selected for the match was Brilliant Avenue, and the mode was Escort Mission.
In the first round, YNG was on the attacking side and FTK was on the defending side.
After a one-minute preparation period, the competition officially began.
Because it was a separate server, Xu Ziyan only saw the game's sound effects, without any official commentary. The director then showed the weapon loadouts of the eight players on the field.
Xu Ziyan briefly explained: "Both of YNG's assault teams are equipped with standard gear. KK brought a pistol and a heart rate detector, while Clear brought a healing sniper rifle, healing potions, and an armor pack. This choice is fairly standard for a cart map like Brilliant Avenue, which has many rooftops and generally low terrain."
"FTK's Lin is using the standard equipment, but Propro opted for a revolver, which means they're preparing to use long-range damage to suppress the enemy." Xu Ziyan raised an eyebrow. They had used this tactic in training matches before. "Assault rifles to lower the enemy's health, revolvers to finish them off. Lin and Propro are really good at this kind of teamwork, so everyone should pay more attention."
Forgive my bluntness, but in ranked matches with a revolver, it's practically a teammate killer. I feel like quitting whenever I see a teammate pick it...
[Upstairs, it's obvious you've never watched P-God's streams. Our P-God's title of "Western Prince" isn't just for show!]
The Prince of the West...
Xu Ziyan pursed his lips, wanting to laugh a little. He coughed lightly: "FTK's sniper and medical equipment is the same as YNG's... This round will depend on who has the better aim and can get the kill faster."
It seems like I've rarely seen medics carrying stun guns in recent matches.
[Nonsense, before, anyone stunned with a stun gun died instantly. Now, even if a medic peeks out, they get instantly killed, let alone stunned. The survival environment is a complete mess!]
As if to confirm what the barrage comment said, at the beginning, just as YNG was escorting the target away from the corner, Qu Qingyue was taken down by Propro and Quit's sniper.
Bai Ke headshot Lin, forcing him back, but was then locked onto by Quit's sniper rifle, his position blocked by the muzzle of the gun on the rooftop.
"Tsk," Bai Ke frowned. The sniper on the other side was a newbie, but he had encountered this person several times in ranked matches. Not only was his shooting steady, accurate, and ruthless, but he was also quite patient. He could crouch in the shadows and keep aiming at you until you were disgusted.
Compared to Xie Wei, his pressure is definitely far less, but whoever gets targeted by him will suffer throughout the entire game.
Qu Qingyue frowned slightly: "Mine."
"It's alright," Mumu said. "Bye, go and switch to Quit, just disrupt him, don't let him have it too easy. KK, keep an eye on the enemy medic's movements. Prioritize sniping the medic."
Bai Ke said, "I know that the medical team has been hiding behind the house and has no intention of showing their face."
Bye immediately said, "I'll go and get her a seat."
"OK." Bai Ke pulled back the bolt and changed the bullet. "Let me know when you're in position, and I'll place the sensor."
The first obstacle on Brilliant Avenue is a T-junction, with a donut shop protruding slightly in the middle of the road. It's not exactly difficult to get past, but it will still take some effort to conquer it.
Especially since FTK uses this double front-line formation, the only way to break through is to look for opportunities from the back line.
Xu Ziyan, taking advantage of his God's-eye view, looked at the minimap and said with interest, "It seems that YNG has finally decided to target Elia, the medic in FTK. Indeed, the easiest and fastest way for the attacking side to pass the first level on this map is to kill the medic. After all, as long as there is support in the front line, even if they are low on health, they can recover their status by blocking the position."
"But Quit also has a keen sense of danger. Almost as soon as Bye arrived at his location, he had already put down the heart rate sensor."
“KK also installed sensors.”
Xu Ziyan suddenly remembered something and looked at the camera: "Have you guys seen that video that went viral online before, the one where two cheaters were fighting each other? ... Yes, those two guys with X-ray vision, one assault and one medic."
"It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it before. Now you have the opportunity to legitimately see a replica of this classic scene on the professional battlefield."
The heartbeat sensor allows all team members to receive real-time monitoring of the location of all enemy team members within a limited time.
In fact, it does have the same effect as perspective.
When Elia received Bye's location, they were just one building apart. She was on the rooftop, and he was downstairs. They looked at each other from afar, as if they were acting out Romeo and Juliet.
Unfortunately, there were no romantic moments to be had on the field.
Without saying a word, Elia holstered her gun, ducked, and ran away.
But Bye wasn't about to let this "easy prey" slip by, so he grabbed his gun and charged into the building.
Since both of them could see each other through the building, Elia scrambled and Bye chased after her, panting heavily. Their chase and evasion gave off a strangely cat-and-mouse vibe.
The screen was already filled with "hahahahaha" comments, and Xu Ziyan couldn't help but laugh too.
“Attention—” He reached out and swiped the mouse, clicking on the window in front of Elia. “Bye doesn’t actually want to catch up with Elia. In fact, with both sensors working at the same time, the one being chased naturally has the advantage.”
"The reason he's so persistent is because KK is waiting for his chance; he's just trying to squeeze Elia out of her position."
As Xu Ziyan said, the scene changes to KK's perspective, where the sniper is crouching at the corner of the roof, holding a cold sniper rifle.
On the other side was Quit's equally cold gun barrel.
You only have one chance.
Once they eliminate the medic, they can create an opening and break through the gate.
Even if we have to change it, it's still worth it.
With only five seconds left on the heart rate sensor's effect, the medical figure was getting closer and closer inside the house.
Bai Ke took a deep breath, and then, with lightning speed, peeked out, raised his gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger!
Elia's attention was completely drawn to the fierce pursuit behind her, and she fled in terror. Quit belatedly realized something was wrong and tried to warn her, but it was too late.
After a loud bang, Elia's name turned gray and entered the countdown to rebirth.
An incredibly precise headshot!
Quit gritted his teeth and fired a counter-sniper shot, but Bai Ke moved too fast. His bullet only grazed his body, taking away only a small amount of health, and he failed to kill him.
Xu Ziyan sincerely praised, "Beautiful!"
On the screen, a replay of Bai Ke's brilliant maneuver of instantly aiming and sniping was being shown, with the flick shot being analyzed in slow motion. Clearly, everyone was amazed by that shot.
Xu Ziyan was genuinely happy for his friend, but as a commentator, he suppressed his joy, maintained a neutral stance, and calmly analyzed, "Elia's respawn time is fifteen seconds, and it will take at least ten seconds for her to reach the battlefield to provide support. YNG won't let this opportunity slip by and will press their advantage—wait! Propro and Lin have killed Mumu!"
In the blink of an eye, Lin shattered Mumu's shield and took away half of her health with a burst of fire. Before Qu Qingyue could even replace the shield, Propro's revolver followed up almost seamlessly, and with a crisp headshot, Mumu was dead.
Elia, who was feeling frustrated, saw this and exclaimed in surprise over the voice channel, "Captain!"
Propro took a step back, slid open the magazine of his revolver, shook out the spent cartridges, and loaded new bullets one by one: "Keep defending, don't give up."
Quit, who was on the rooftop replaying his mistake of failing to headshot KK, was taken aback upon hearing this and quickly replied, "Yes!"
With this kill, FTK rallied. Quit single-handedly held off Qu Qingyue and KK, avoiding headshots and only chipping away at their health. Propro's earlier shot had clearly served as a wake-up call for YNG, causing them to slow down their movement and attacks considerably.
This bought Elia a lot of time to get back to the battlefield.
[What is YNG doing? They can't even take this down? Pure folly.]
[P God truly lives up to his reputation as the Prince of the West; his revolver skills are phenomenal.]
I cannot accept failing to win this wave.
“Propro’s revolver is indeed powerful.” Xu Ziyan’s eyes lit up. “But YNG is clearly not going to give up so easily. Elia has only just arrived on the battlefield and hasn’t had time to restore everyone’s health yet. FTK’s health isn’t very high right now. Bye has set off again! Wait, not only Bye, but Clear as well…?”
As he finished speaking, his voice rose slightly in disbelief.
It's not that he lost his composure, but rather that he rarely saw Qu Qingyue take the initiative to attack.
He had watched YNG's previous matches, and the two teams had arranged many practice matches because of their close relationship. However, this was indeed the first time Xu Ziyan had seen Qu Qingyue make a move to cut into the backline.
Clear is genuinely changing his playing style for the sake of the team and their results.
Not only him, but the audience also started posting question marks.
If Ice hadn't been live-streaming and providing commentary here, I would have suspected someone had logged in from another location.
On the surface, it's Clear; beneath the mask, it's Ice.
【Ahhh, my goddess!!!】
The director seemed to have heard the audience's voice and wisely switched the camera to Qu Qingyue.
She ran to Bye's side, stealthily stacking armor on both of them as she went. Just when everyone thought they were about to enter the building where Quit and Elia were, they slipped past each other without even looking and passed the entrance to the building.
Xu Ziyan clapped his hands: "I see."
“Their target isn’t Elia, or rather, YNG doesn’t even want to cut the backline.” He circled Quit’s location with his mouse. “Quit is currently keeping a close eye on KK, and Elia has been killed once, so she’s hiding very carefully. It’s not impossible to kill them, but it’s very difficult. Plus, there are top-tier gunners like Lin and Propro in the front line. It’s very likely that even if they kill one of the backline members, they won’t be able to break through.”
"Therefore, their current target for flanking is Propro!"
The words came true.
Behind the intersection, Qu Qingyue gestured to Bye, then stood up and threw a medical bottle at him.
This move was clearly unexpected by everyone at FTK.
The vulnerability effect appeared on both Lin and Propro at the same time, catching them off guard. Bye instantly killed Propro, and KK followed up with a shot, taking down Lin.
Due to his flanking position, Quit had no vision and therefore couldn't use a sniper rifle to help deal with the two flankers.
Although he took down KK this time, he lost all his front-line troops and could no longer hold the pass. Qu Qingyue and Bye's guns were already pointed at the window where he was, so he had no choice but to retreat.
YNG successfully passed the first hurdle.
At the last two checkpoints, YNG repeatedly used the same tactics, alternating between targeting the backline and attacking the frontline. FTK had no way of predicting whether they wanted to target their backline or frontline, making it impossible to defend against them time and time again.
Ultimately, YNG won this game.
