The first event was not the individual pentathlon, but the five-person team demolition competition.
There are a total of 8 participating teams: Xia Kingdom, Russell, Northern Alliance, Prus, Mika Empire, Soko, Fran, and Negi Empire.
Among them, the Nike Empire and the Mika Empire were in the same group during the qualifiers. They made it to the finals after eliminating the strong British Empire and the Roman Empire.
The leader of this group was Princess Xiangling'er of Naiji, who had been studying in the Xia Kingdom for a long time.
Soko also created a miracle.
They were grouped with Pruss.
Kim Young-joo finished fifth in the individual competition, but she and her teammates fought hard and made it to the final of the demolition competition.
...
At 9 a.m. on Saturday, all participating teams gathered in the flagship hall of Imperial University of Brussels for the pre-match draw, which was highly anticipated.
turn out--
Xia Kingdom, Prus, Northern Alliance, and Nigel Empire were placed in Group A.
The Mika Empire, Russell, Soko, and the Fran Empire were placed in Group B.
The teams from the two groups will play a round-robin tournament within their respective groups, with the top two teams advancing to the next round.
Then, the first-place team in Group A will play against the second-place team in Group B, and the second-place team in Group A will play against the first-place team in Group B.
The losers will compete for third and fourth place, and the winners will determine the champion and runner-up.
This morning, afternoon, and evening, all three rounds of group stage matches will be played.
Group A matches will be played first.
In the opening match, Pruss will face the Northern Alliance.
Jiang Chu sat down in the audience. Due to the competition format, he and the other five teams would compete in the first round after this match.
Lin Han said, "Xiao Chu, Group A is starting to feel like a group of death."
"Yes, apart from Nike being a little weaker, the other teams are all very strong."
Jiang Chu said, "The outcome of this match will determine who will advance to the semi-finals."
"Hehe, judging from what you're saying, our Xia Kingdom is definitely going to secure one of the top four spots, right?"
Lin Han asked with a smile.
“Absolutely, everyone in Group A is trash,” Jiang Chu scoffed.
...
Prus and the Northern Alliance have never faced each other in an official match.
Moreover, the two sides did not even fight together.
When the Western Star Luo faction proposed that the Northern Alliance join them, Prus did not vote in favor but abstained, so the relationship between the two sides has always been very delicate.
At the start of the match, neither side launched any probing attacks; instead, they immediately engaged in a wide-ranging, all-out offensive battle.
At this point, the Prussians' teamwork ability, accurate to the centimeter, became unmistakably evident.
Apart from Schneider, they didn't have any other particularly strong members. In fact, each of their members was not as good as the group of geniuses from the Northern Alliance.
However, their tactical execution and speed are extremely fast.
After a fierce clash, Prus, playing as the T, seized an opportunity and, at the cost of three teammates, planted the bomb at point B, successfully defending against the explosion.
In this round, Schneider had already sacrificed himself, but the opponent was too late to dismantle the C4 and was killed instantly.
In the second round, all the members of Prus upgraded Schneider's equipment and fought with pistols themselves. They adopted a 4-to-1 tactic to protect Schneider while he planted the C4.
The accuracy of the Northern Alliance remains unchanged.
But in the end, they still didn't remove C4.
...
In the first five frames, Prus set the tone and led the score to 11-5.
After switching sides, the situation changed dramatically.
Taking advantage of T's geographical position on this map, the Northern Alliance adjusted its tactics in time, played steadily, and then won 9 consecutive games, changing the score to 14-11, and taking a 3-game lead over Pruss.
At a crucial moment, Schneider erupted, exchanging fire with the opposing team's captain, Daniel, at the center gate and eliminating him, putting on a spectacular 1-for-4 performance.
He then led his team to a 5-1 run.
The score became 16-14, match point.
Jiang Chu understood that the final stage of the competition had become more balanced.
First, the amount of money required for weapon upgrades has been reduced by two-thirds.
This means that you can upgrade your weapon to the highest level in just 3 to 4 games, thus avoiding the possibility of your team being swept.
In this way, the strong become stronger, while the weak have almost no chance to turn the tide.
The fact that the North and Prussia have fought to this extent is enough to show that the two teams are evenly matched.
...
Under Daniel's leadership, the Northern Alliance rallied to win two more games, bringing the match to match point.
In the final round, despite losing two teammates, Schneider and his remaining two teammates worked together to finally break into bomb site A, successfully eliminating one player before defending the bomb.
Although he was killed by Daniel during their gunfight, he managed to hold out until the very last second.
Although Daniel managed to eliminate the last opponent in the final second, he was unable to plant the bomb due to time running out, resulting in the loss of the match.
The match is over.
Prudential narrowly defeats Northern League 17-16!
